I just bought an Air Hogs Helix at my local Shopko store tonight for $59.99.
It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to play with, but I do have one
question. What the heck frequency is the radio on that is included with
this micro copter?

The packaging and instructions make no mention of the frequency of
operation. The transmitter bares no markings inside or out with regard to
frequency. Neither the Air Hogs nor the Spinmaster websites mentions
anything remotely useful about the product, either.

I'm hesitant to fly this around other pilots since I have no idea whom I'll
be shooting down nor who will be shooting me down. Does anybody out there
know anything about the Helix's radio system?

in England most of these cheap toy things run on 27mhz and 40mhz whereas the
proper copters and planes run on 35mhz
