The five minute helicopter challenge in Leicester - our brilliantly low-priced heli activity! Hovering is the trickiest of skills to master in a chopper and this short, but very sweet experience will see you having a go at this manoeuvre.

What can you do in five minutes? You can perhaps boil the kettle for a cuppa, or maybe put some screen wash in the motor. But spend just five minutes in one of these Schweizer helis trying to get the hang of hovering and it feels like a very long time! One of the team of fully qualified instructors will be next to you in the cockpit to show just how to handle to controls to keep the chopper stable in the air.

This five minute helicopter challenge in Leicester is fantastic value for money and is a fun challenge for all would-be helicopter pilots. Spectators will be able to get a good view of the action from the heli pad, so ideal for capturing the moment!
