One thing that would be fun is chopper wars.

You tie a pre determined length of ribbon or string to each copter. The object is to cut your oppenets string in half while protectiong your own. Be careful, sudden turns and you will cut your own in half. Also watch for coming from the bottom. If you miss judge it his tail could get tangeled in one of your rotors and you go down too. Kamakazie does not score points. As everyones skill increase you can get teams going. One big dog fight where you work together to try and trap or set up your opponets for you team mate.
I like the Airwolf theme on the video....adds a subtle touch..lol

my only concern is the freq's...they're all probably around the same. which means not much fun in copter wars..lol. So, we'll all have to get completely different models. I do see they have a plane. that would be good....fast mover vs. helo

Is the battery life better than 10 minutes?

That's the only thing keeping me from buying it.

What you see in the video is prolly THE battery life.

But in all seriousness...those Hydro-foam flyers are close to 300 bucks.
