XVB Raptor Copter 2CH Infrared RC Helicopter for $5 from Five Below - A Lunch Break Review

Just about two decades ago, RC helicopters were almost unattainable due to their high cost and almost unflyable due to their inherent instability. But all that changed when Horizon Hobby introduced the E-flite Blade CX coaxial and beginner-friendly RC helicopter in late 2005 as an easier-to-fly alternative to E-flite's Blade CP, also introduced in 2005. And the rest is history.
From that point on, the batteries and electronics advanced very quickly, and all the components of an RC helicopter became cheaper, smaller, lighter, stronger, and more sophisticated and advanced. Although it sounded like a far-fetched dream back then, nowadays you can but a toy-grade RC helicopter for $5 in Five Below stores or at their website here in the United States. What is next, are they going to give these for free for just visiting their stores or website? It is still amazing to me that you can get a rechargeable flying object for just $5 plus tax, then fly it around and control it remotely from the comfort of your chair.
Just the other day, I came across a Five Below store near my work. I had shopped from their website before. I had purchased several of their XVB brand toy RC helicopters and reviewed them here on our channel:
• Start Flying RC Helico...
However, this was my first time in one of their stores. I immediately went to the toy isle and got two of their XVB brand toy RC helicopters. In this video, I am reviewing one of them, the Raptor Copter, during my lunch break. In the next video, I am going to review the second one, the Force Flyer.
