• When it is your team’s turn, the team chooses one of the available (fully charged) helicopters.

• Teams have 5 minutes to fly to any enemy’s base and score as many points as possible before either time or their battery runs out, whichever comes first.

10 points – for each base you land on, including your own. 20 points – for each target knocked over!50 points – knock a soldier or target over with a missile, disk, or bomb!100 points – kidnap an enemy soldier or enemy general. 150 points – rescue a P.O.W.!200 points – capture an enemy bomb!

HELICOPTER MAINTENANCE

• Air Hogs Helicopters are delicate; please be careful with them. We can’t have RC WARS with broken helicopters.

• Helicopters will fly about 4-5 minutes before their charge runs out.

• The batteries in each helicopter must cool down before re-charging for about 10 minutes and re-charging takes about 10 minutes; this is why only one flight a day is possible for each helicopter.
