your budget, though, you might let them catch two, three or more fish! They'll be having so much fun they'll go until your helicopter dies or you run out of fish. Tips Here are some tips to consider before unleashing the kids on the game: 1- Test the game before the kids play. Make sure the string doesn't rotate, make sure the helicopter can lift the magnetized fish and that you have enough space to allow for kids not being the best pilots. 2- Have a spare battery or other activities you can do while the helicopter recharges - consider giving the kids a time limit to catch a fish. Most RC helicopters take about 30-45 minutes to recharge their batteries - that can be a long time for a group of antsy kids to wait! So if you have a battery backup or other planned activities while the battery charges, you won't have as great a risk of a child uprising. 3- Turn off any indoor fans or ceiling fans. The air currents caused by these fans can disrupt the flight pattern of the micro helicopter making it difficult for the kids to pilot. 4- If you're playing with younger kids who have a hard time piloting the helicopter, instead of using magnets on the fish, simply use large cutouts of fish (they still need to be weighted) and have the kids simply land - or crash - the helicopter on them to win. I have used lily pads with frogs for weights and that worked great. If you have any other tips to consider, please let me know. Also, if you have tried RC helicopter fishing, let me know how it went. And if you happen to be that guy that's smarter than me and knows the funky math equations for the string, you better hit me up. Have fun kiddies, it's way better than the ratty sheet-plastic bug version!
