Heatseeker review

Once you’re in the air, in whatever flying machine you sprung for, the next problem is finding a control method that works for you. You can use the nunchuk’s tilt function as a virtual flight stick, or simply turn off the tilt and use the analog stick instead. Either way plays fine, but if you can get to grips with the much trickier but ultimately more satisfying technique of using the remote to fly the plane, it enables acrobatic maneuvers that are otherwise impossible.

Twisting the remote banks the aircraft, while flicking it up or down adjusts the pitch of the nose, so you can turn. Swishing it left or right operates the rudder. Having these three functions responding instantly to every movement of your wrist makes for erratic flight that requires constant adjustment, at least while you’re still learning the ropes.
