How cool would it be to fly your own helicopter? Answer: Really cool.
But what if I told you that you could fly your very helicopter by controlling it with just your voice? Correct reaction: OMG, Ali! Whaaaaaaaaat?!
That’s right. Thanks to Auldey Toys, kids can fly the Sky Rover Voice Command remote-control helicopter using only their voice by hooking up the included headset.
Snap on the headset, and all of the sudden,you’re Maverick from Top Gun, feeling like you’re in complete control—and guess what? You are. From “take off” to “go down,” the copter will listen to kids’ commands and follow suit. It sounds cool, but wait until you try it. I’ll just be over here in my leather jacket and aviators, pretending like I’m a pilot from the future. When I flew it, it took me a few tries to get it down perfectly—you have to make sure you annunciate so that the mysterious voice inside of the headset can understand you—but once you get the hang of it, it flies smoothly.
Besides just taking off and landing, the Sky Rover Voice Command can follow 10 other commands, including turning left and right, and cool things like Smart Hover and Dancing in the Air. This is the kind of fun toy that you’ll find yourself playing with when your kids aren’t around. Besides being super cool and voice-controlled, the Sky Rover Voice Command is a pretty powerful copter that flies smoothly. If kids don’t want to use the headset, it comes with a simple controller to maneuver it.
So, whether you’re an experienced flier, or only just beginning, the Sky Rover Voice Command makes it easy for kids to soar to new heights. So grab Goose and your jumpsuit and get ready to feel the need, the need for speed.
