This is a set of 2 replacement main drive rotor blade sets for the Mini Heli Infrared Indoor Helicopter, Bell Heli IR Indoor RC Helicopter, Picco Z, Havoc Heli and clones. Each heli requires 1 set. It is a good idea to keep a spare rotor on hand to let you keep flying in case yours is damaged in a crash. If you lose the little silver weights in the top stabilizer you’ll need to purchase a new rotor blade. Main Rotor Blade Specifications: * Rotor Diameter: 5.2 (13.2cm) * Material: Flexible black plastic * Features: Integrated stabilizer (top hinged portion) This Main Rotor Blade Is Compatible With: * Mini IR Helis & Mini Bell IR Heli, * Spin Master Air Hogs Havoc Helis, * Silverlit Picco Z, * Clones like PiccoZ, PicooZ, etc… more info

Looks right, fits, but does not work.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
My son was so sad to find that his Havoc Heli no longer works after installing this “replacement.” The rotor fits on, the heli lifts a bit, but will not fly.
I bought it without looking at the reviews — big mistake. The same goes for the tail rotors made by this company. Useless.

wrong part
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This supposedly worked for the toy copter I have, but it wouldn’t fly. Needed to get a different part. Description needs to state which copters it fits!

Rotors don’t match
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Within a week of getting his helicopter, my son crashed it and broke the top rotor. In looking for a new rotor, we found this 2-pack replacement that looked identical, and matched the description. Cool, right?! However, it doesn’t fit the same and the helicopter still won’t work. Maybe we’re not doing it right (could be!), but we spent quite a bit of time trying to make it work. Although we were disappointed that we couldn’t fix it, we spent under $4 for the replacement parts and it was worth a shot. We ended up buying a new helicopter and making our son pay for half. But a lesson for you – anybody looking to replace rotors should make sure the parts match EXACTLY before purchasing.

Doesn’t work on my Havoc Heli
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I wish I had never tried to switch this for my original prop (which broke when I removed it). Might work great for another heli, but not my Havoc 2 channel.

Rotor Review
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My grandson’s helicopter gave him several hours of fun until the main rotor broke just about the time he was really learning to fly it. I ordered 2 rotors, removed the old one. I immersed the rotor in hot water. I then held the rotor shaft with hemostats as I pulled on the old rotor. It came right off. The new rotor slid on easily but slipped somewhat, so, I used super glue and my grandson is flying his helicopter again. We still have the spare rotor assembly. This was a great buy, super low price, and fast shipping. We would definitely do it again. One negative: Grandpa is now hooked on helicopters and is shopping for a very expensive toy!

Not the right part!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The part is not what it is advertised as and is a cheap piece of crap that does not work worth a damn.

Cheap
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I got these as replacement rotors for the 2009 Ox-Wolf Super Heli, and when I broke one of the originals on the first day I reached for one of these to replace it and realized how bad the quality was. First of all, they don’t even fit my Heli, I bought these on recommendation from Amazon and didn’t look close enough to see they weren’t going to fit.
Then after comparing these to what was on the copter, I realized how warped (bent and/or wavey) and flimsy they are. I would be surprised if you could get your heli to fly straight with these, if you could even get it off the ground.
They are cheap for a reason, I’d find something else.

Disappointed
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this as a just in case item thinking my grandsons would sooner or later wipe out the original blades. After running one of the Air Hogs into a brick chimney under full power the pivot on the main blade snapped. I used a heat gun to remove the original blade and I had to add a bit of super glue to make sure this new one was secure on the shaft. So far so good until I tried to fly the thing. This new blade is so badly out of balance the thing shakes like a detoxing drunk. It flys but that’s the best thing I can say about it. I’m thinking about removing this one to try the other one. I expected better from Amazon.

Wrong Size Listed
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
These rotors were listed along with two vehicles that they did not fit. I had to return them because they were the wrong ones.
