Air Hogs Havoc Exclusive Green Design with Flight Training DVD





Air Hogs Havoc Exclusive Green Design with Flight Training DVD


Comes in 1 channel in solid green deco design only. Instructional DVD included.


Battery Info: 6AA required not included


The incredibly small Havoc Heli is easy to fly in the smallest of spaces! Measuring only six inches long the Havoc Heli is extremely lightweight fits right in the palm of your hand!


Realistic Helicopter Fun


The Havoc Heli has twin rotors for stability and four-way control for flying in any direction with accuracy -- up, down, under, over, left, right, forward and backward. Like a real helicopter, the Havoc can hover in one spot. It even manuevers through the toughest of obstacles. Intended for indoor use, the helicopter operates outdoors with zero wind conditions, and can fly up to 100 feet high in the air. The Havoc Heli is also equipped with a flashing blue LED light for night flying.


Friendly competition


Not just for flying solo, the Havoc Heli is designed for fun with your friends. With three selectable frequencies, up to three Air Hogs helicopters can fly in the same room at the same time. Beyond flying for fun, the hook attachment on the bottom of the helicopter picks up objects for top secret racing missions -- with or againsts friends.


Tough, Tiny, And Ready To Fly


Measuring six inches long and weighing only ten grams, the Havoc fits in the palm of a hand. Extraordinarily lightweight, the helicopter is built for crash resistance with a flexible, high-impact EPP foam body. The internal battery offers twice the amount of flight time as other R/C helicopters. The remote control charges the rechargeable LIPO battery in 15 minutes, providing six minutes of flight time. The remote requires 6 "AA" batteries (not included). Available in yellow, blue, and red, the Havoc Heli comes completely assembled and ready to fly.


What's in the Box


Remote-Controlled helicopter and remote control.




Customer Review: great!!!!




I love it but the olny thing is that you have to by batteries all the time.

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Aero Ace

Aero Ace





Aero Ace


Flight Time 10 minuntes. Flies indoor and outdoor. 3 channels to choose from. No assembly required. Colors and Body Style may vary.




Customer Review: A lot of fun....




My 11 year old son thinks this is great. We've had alot of fun with it but a big field to fly it in is a must. It's easy to fly after a few tries and very durable when it "lands". It flies best in a very light wind. On our 4th flight though the remote's antenna broke so I'll be contacting the company about that.




Customer Review: Best dollar-for-dollar plane EVER.




This plane defies money. Period. Ignore that this plane costs only about 40$ (I payed 37$ for mine, plus batteries), this plane is a very good flyer. It turns and responds right when you need it to, and it has plenty of power when you need it to avoid crashing into that bush. Of course, it won't matter that much if you do hit it, because the plane has only about three separate foam parts (I have the jet version of it, so this may vary slightly), which makes it incredibly durable. It flies slow, but not too slow, so front yard flying is a breeze. Speaking of the breeze, that is my only complaint; wind affects it a lot, so fly it in a gym or when there isn't much wind. If I had guessed the price of this plane before I purchased it, I would have said 120$. Flight time? I have gotten 15 minutes in the air before, and it only takes about 30 min to charge. This plane flies longer, better, and easier than my uncle's three-channel flyer. Oh, and lets not forget: This plane cost about a tenth of my uncle's plane. Uh-oh. Time to take advice from Air Hogs, hobby companies. The bar has been raised.

Customer Review: Don't bother!




This Airhogs R/C toy is the 2nd one we have purchased from this company....we also have the storm launcher and both are very disappointing! This is the last time we will waste money on this type of toy by this company....quality, we feel, is not good at all....the stirofoam doesn't hold up at all....our son got it as a x-mas present and unfortunately was disappointed in the lack of excitement...maybe the plastic ones work better...who knows. We also had a problem w/the charger.Seems the charger would not charge the helicopter...light would turn on when you first hooked it up, but went out shortly....we thought it was the batteries in the charger....so we replaced them but kept having the problem....very frustrating for both son and parent!

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Spinmaster Air Hogs Zero Gravity Mini Car - Red Sports Car

Spinmaster Air Hogs Zero Gravity Mini Car - Red Sports Car





Spinmaster Air Hogs Zero Gravity Mini Car - Red Sports Car


Forget those remote control cars that just scoot across the ground! These Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro cars moves in three dimensions -- across the ground, up the wall, and even upside down on the ceiling! By using a specially designed suction device, the car can climb a wall and maneuver just as it does on the ground.


















Air Hogs lets you control a car along the ground and up walls. View larger.





Use the remote to charge the car's built-in battery. View larger.
























What We Think




Fun Factor:




Durability:




(what this means)




The Good: Car can drive up walls; includes rechargeable battery




The Bad: Car is a bit fragile; slightly loud; limited wireless range




In a Nutshell: Car can do everything it advertises, but all the conditions must be met

At a Glance




Ages: 8 and up


Requires: 6 AA batteries for remote, clean surface



Smart, Innovative Design


Air Hogs makes the only cars that can climb walls, and the Zero Gravity Micro is smaller and faster than the original Air Hogs Zero Gravity Humvee. We were surprised by how small and light the Zero Gravity Micro is; it is basically a thin plastic shell wrapped around a light body with a vacuum in it. Our car was designed to look like a red race car, but you can choose from other designs available as well.


We were able to get the Zero Gravity Micro up and running without any problems. The remote control unit needs six AA batteries (not included), and is then used to charge the built-in rechargeable battery in the car. This is done by connecting a cable from the remote control to the car, and flipping the switch to charge mode. Thanks to smart design, this cable can be stowed and hidden away when not being used.


After about half an hour for charging, the car was ready to go. Right away, we set the car to wall climbing mode and set it on our wall. Though we'd read about what it was supposed to do, we were still very impressed when we saw the car stick to the wall and climb. You can see the vacuum working, as there is a window on the top of the car showing a spinning fan. The car makes quite a bit of sound when it is in wall mode.


Using the remote, we were able to make the car go up, turn left and right, and go down as well. With a tight turning radius, the car is very maneuverable and with some practice, you can get the car to do exactly as you wish. In addition to Wall mode, there is also a Ground mode which leaves the fan/vacuum off, and lets you drive full function on the ground. You need to walk around with the car, however, as the remote has limited range. This is not as big a concern on walls because we were usually pretty close to the wall as the car was climbing it.


The car has working headlights that double as a battery indicator--when they start to blink, the car is running low on power.


Needs Clean, Smooth Surface


The instructions warn that the car should be played only on a clean, smooth surface, and they're not kidding. Since the car is able to stay on walls due to suction, the moment an inconsistency is introduced, the car loses suction and falls off. We found that a surface like glass works very well. With our concrete wall, we often ran into problems with the car maintaining its suction. Coupled with the car's light construction, we fear that repeated abuse could cause damage to it.


Overall, we found the Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro to be an innovative and fun toy. We wished it were a bit more hefty and could work on more surfaces, but when we got it going on our window, we were very impressed. It's a great new idea and twist on an old toy, and is bound to keep children mesmerized.

Build Your Own Air Hogs - Small





Build Your Own Air Hogs - Small


Customer Review: great for starters




I got it for ten dollars on clearence at target and it is well worth the money. I didn't want to spend to much money incase I didn't like it or wrecked it beyond repair. I love it I can fly around the house with ease. It is too light to handle moderate wind or carry a small flashlight for night flying (and I mean a really small light is to heavy). I would recommend glow in the dark tape or paint for night time flights.




Customer Review: poor quality at a too high price




I was dumbfounded when I just saw the price of this plane that lasted our son less than 1 day. The remote stopped working and the styrofoam wings broke the first day. Amazingly enough, I taped it all over and he still throws it like a paper airplane some. I suppose lessons can still be learned in aerodynamics by everything that broke (see, it needed this for doing blah blah blah...)






I would recommend looking for a plane by Kid Galaxy that we bought for less and works incredibly, charging itself each time you put it on the launcher. You should find it easily enough and you'll recognize it by the description of charging it for ten seconds each time.

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Spinmaster Reflex R/C RTF Helicopter (Colors may vary)

Spinmaster Reflex R/C RTF Helicopter (Colors may vary)





Spinmaster Reflex R/C RTF Helicopter (Colors may vary)


The Spinmaster Airhogs Reflex RC Helicopter is an amazing micro indoor heli. Pilot your own helicopter indoors - with amazing 6-way control! The crash-resistant foam fuselage is perfect for a nice big room without too many obstacles. Throttle up and down, or bank left and right using the 6-way controller. Twin drive props provide directional control while the dual rotors lend stability. Includes a set of spare propellers and battery. Runs on an included rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The controller operates on 9V battery which is not included. Recommended for ages 10 and older. Helicopters are more challenging than planes and a lot more fun!




Customer Review: Fun for kids and adults




Pros: Durable, after many crashes I still haven't had to replace the rotors. Battery life is good for what it does (rated at 8 minutes, but if you stop many times its more like 10-15). Has fwd/back/spin left/spin right controls. So light, that it's not prone to damage anything it rams into.






Cons: Battery charging time is painfully slow (1-2 hrs). It's light weight causes it to be at the mercy of any slight air movement around it. Wanders quite a bit even in still air. Fwd/back/left/right controls are all on or off,there's no in between.






I've had this for about a month now. After some frustration with being able to control it sometimes, and other times not, it dawned on me why it seemed inconsistent. It only flew stable indoors with the air conditioning OFF. When there was any air movement in the room, it would get pushed all over the place by the ventilation in the room. If the air just catches the tail of the helicopter, the copter is put into a spin. So if you want any sense of control, make sure the air in the room is very still.






I would not recommend this for outdoor use unless you have a huge field to fly in. My son and I took it for some flights outside and the slightest breeze sent it sailing. I was very impressed how high the copter could go though. It can shoot up 40 feet in an instant, then your running after it as the wind takes it away. I actually had it plunge 40-50 ft down into the street, but it survived no problem.






My son is 5 yrs old and he loves it. I was apprehensive about letting him try it at first and was actually planning on not letting him see it. But after using it a while, I realized he couldn't really hurt it easily (unless he steps on it!)






Forward/backward movement is a bit limited. The copter is designed to balance itself. Forward movement only gets it so far before it tilts up a little to counter-act the forward force, causing it to stop.






Even with all these 'cons', you gotta remember this IS a toy, not a fully functional hobbiest helicopter with real controls, and is priced as such. My sons asks to fly it everyday and I still enjoy it very much. I like how I don't have to worry about wrecking anything in the house.








Customer Review: Chopper fun!




I bought this helicopter as a Christmas gift for my son. After flying it myself, I am going to have to get one for me! Don't waste your money on any other brand because you will not be satisfied. This is a great toy no matter if you're 8 or 80.

Customer Review: Don't waste your money




This is a cheap product. After several hours of play the styrofoam body of the helicopter was not adequate to keep the small metal rotor stable enough to have the blades spin properly. My ten year old son had this for less than a day and it will not fly any more. A piece of junk as far as I am concerned. Don't waste your money!




Customer Review: What a tease!!!!!




This was given as a birthday present for my son. After two days of trying to figure out the trim and reading instructions, it is in the box to go back to the store. This thing doesn't even get an inch off the floor and looks like a moth flapping around. What a complete waste of time and money. They claim it is easy to fly, what a croc!!!!! How can an 8 yr old child figure it out when adults cannot? This is NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!!

My son turning 13 didn't want to get only clothes this Christmas 07' so I found this great gaget perfect for big boys fun. Can use this indoors if you have a cathedral cieling. The soft exterior is pretty saft too. Outside play is even better, just watch out for windy days. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

This is great, I purchased two for each of my two adult children:-)...,my husband and father and they loved it. They take it out side and this litle item goes up very high. They are having a blast with it. I would recommend this for the kid in everyone. I have even had a blast with it. You have to be careful with it, as it is made with styrofoam and it can break if you let it crash to the ground. Great toy! : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Air Hogs Reflex Micro Helicopter Pro: Orange/black/silver


Air Hogs Reflex Micro Helicopter Pro: Orange/black/silver | Spinmaster Air Hogs | Take this pocket-sized helicopter for a spin indoors or out. Features six-way directional control with left and right, up and down, twin rotors for stability, twin drive props for precise directional control, sled-style landing gear and flies indoors. LIPO battery and charger included. Measures 6"L x 6"H. : Spinmaster Air Hogs
Customer Review: Fun if you don't get a defective one
I started out my RC helicopter hobby by buying a Air Hogs "Havoc" model... a cheaper, lighter, more unstable, model with with no forward or backward motion control (but still lots of fun!) So I decided I wanted to upgrade to a model with more control and stability. The Air Hogs "Reflex" seemed to be the answer. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

So here's what happened when I first got it. After wrangling it out of the package (the packaging sucks and you literally need the jaws of life to open it ) I actually read the instructions (for once in my life). I charged the helicopter up (like it said in the instructions) and about 30 minutes later it was fully charged... or so it seemed. But when I powered it up with the controls, the helicopter would not hover more than a few inches off the ground. At this point I thought that perhaps it needed more charging... so I did what any geek would do: I let it run until the battery was completely dead (as to not evoke the dreaded "memory effect") and charged it once again. This time it remained charging for longer... about an hour. The charging cycle is automated by the way, and it's done when the red light in the back of the helicopter stops blinking. : Spinmaster Air Hogs
After the second charging cycle was done I tried to powered it up full throttle again and this time it was able to fly up about 3 feet off the ground... still very disappointing. To me, it seemed like the battery or motor was not able to provide enough power for full flight. Yeah, my helicopter was a defect... a dud. So what to do next? Well, I could return it and call customer support... but the thought of waiting on the phone for half an hour or more wasn't too appealing to me. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

So being the geek that I am... I decided to modify it. I cut the landing props off to make it lighter and "presto", it flew high all the way up to the ceiling. It flew and controlled as well as I initially hoped for... and flew for about 10 to 15 minutes. Now, I'm not recommending that you do this to yours if you get a defective one... but if you're as lazy and sick of customer service as I am... well, I'll just leave it at that. Also, here are some pros and cons about this helicopter: : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Pros:

-Pretty stable in the air compared to other small RC helicopters (like Havoc). More resistant to small drafts of wind.

-Right, Left, Up, Down, and Forward controls work pretty well.

-Helicopter blades fold upon impact to prevent damage.

-4 Spare Helicopter blades included


Cons:

-Prone to defects. Both me and a friend received defective helicopters.

-Long charge time (about an hour) relative to short play time (about 10 minutes)

-Helicopter blades should be more sturdy... they are prone to chips during crashes.

-It was a bit difficult at first to pop the blades back in if they pop off because the instructions are not very detailed. But they only come off during very horrible crashes.

Your Tags: havoc, indoor heli, rc heli, air hogs, helicopter, airhog reflex
Customer Review: Fragile
We flew our two constantly all day probably ten flights each and this is a long day watching the charger and pulling it of as soon as its ready to fly. The people who have said its durable just haven't flown it long enough. Our two lasted the one long day before the blades folded on a crash and chopped off the little stabalizer arms that look like tiny footballs on a toothpick. At about $60 for one day of fun (one flown by adults only) it is just too fragile. If anything other than a lifting rotor blade breaks then you're dead because the parts are not available. AirHog offer a whole new bladeless Helicopter for $35 plus shipping. So that could get the cost to $40 per day but you'd be better to buy an AirHog Havoc or a Bell mini. At least they're a lot cheaper and more controlable. Also, don't expect to be able to control the Reflex. Anyone who claims control is ignoring many failed attempts and bragging about one lucky attempt. The self stabalizing main rotors override the ting little thrust motors so you truly have no control. It'll wander around with you fighting it with minimal control until it ompletely falls out of the sky when the battery runs down or it hits something. One of ours flew ~OK and the other was totally unstable. We called AirHog and they said this happens and asked for the serial number and receipt and offered an exchange, it lasted one day. My call: Reflex is the wrong choice. Buy an AirHog Havoc or Bell Mini and get more control and they cost less than half what the Reflex does. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Air hogs Robo Recon


Air hogs Robo Recon | Spinmaster Air Hogs |Robo Copter Micro Recon
Customer Review: Totally Rad... My Favroite Toy Helicopter on the Market

The Air hogs Robo Recon flying helicopter is the best toy that I have experienced from Air hogs. The Robo Recon has a great concept. A small flyable toy that can hover, turn left, right, ascend and decline altitude with a touch oh a button. The tiny foam composite of the Heli is relatively durable yet cannot take a lot of impact. At first the Robo-Copter is very difficult to handle. I recommend that you start flying in a soft open room with relatively no furniture and no other people. By the 3rd day of flying, I noticed that the feet from my heli was coming apart. I took some glue and stent 20-40 minuites holding the glue in place. The remote is very easy to use. The throtle is very smooth and there is no need to keep your finger on it. Unlike the havoc heli, the robo recon is very easy to fly. I am able to turn with pinpoint accuracy as well as hover for a very long time. On the tail of the recon there is a counter weight that can be slid towards the main body or back towards the tail to go slowly. WARNING: WHEN YOU BEGIN THERE IS A TENDENCY TO RUN INTO WALLS AND DROP FROM THE AIR. THIS CAN CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE SO BEGINNERS BE WARE. This is my favorite toy from air hogs and I recommend it to all lovers of the air hogs brand.Air hogs Robo Recon : Spinmaster Air Hogs
Customer Review: OK, not great
In summary, either get a Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Heli (Colors May Vary), Spinmaster Air Hogs Battling Havoc R/C Helicopters, or Reflex Helicopter: 27.195 MHz - Yellow. Treat the product links as starting points for shopping around. There are likely better prices. The battling version of the havoc comes with two helis that fly about the same as the normal havoc, so get the best deal. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

OK, robo recon. It's heavier than a havoc, so is a bit more controllable. However, the reflex is more controllable than the robo recon.

I have to hand launch because the landing legs were weak, flexible, uneven, and stuck to the rug. Luckily, they quickly broke off. Flight characteristics were not noticeably changed with the legs gone. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

My plan for the robo recon is to chop up the styrofoam body and maybe stick landing skids on it. Or use it for parts. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Regardless, shop around a bit. If the robo recon costs less than the havoc, then it is an OK choice. Especially if you aren't shy with the hobby knife. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

I'm very disappointed in the Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Stingers (Blue). I bought it for my nephew since it's something he had on his wish list. It is made of plastic and for what it cost, I had expected it to be a traditionally-sized remote-control toy. Size-wise, the Spinmaster is small enough to fit in the hand of a toddler. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

An adult needs to set up this toy as well as charge the batteries before use. The child can then have lots of fun using it until the battery runs out which is fairly quickly. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

I do not recommend this toy. It's too small and too expensive! : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Air Hogs Reflex Helix - Colors May Vary


Air Hogs Reflex Helix - Colors May Vary The amazing new REFLEX helicopter is the most advanced, most controllable, fully-functional helicopter in it's class. The REFLEX comes with twin rotors and dual thrust propellers. Amazing precision indoors and out!
Customer Review: Had possibilities but got a bum heli
It was fun to fly but never quite worked right even after trim, it was durable and didn't break even after a couple of nasty crashes, i liked the wall charger too, ended up returning it.
Customer Review: Mostly Brilliant
This thing is mostly brilliant. Like other reviewers I cannot stress enough that you *have* to get the trimming right before getting adventurous. Read the supplied instructions carefully and follow the trimming directions. When trimmed correctly this thing will literally hang a foot from your face and barely move. If you buy it for a child, do the trimming yourself before handing it over - and don't expect really young kids to get much out of it. To fly it the way it's done in the commercials, you need to be on the controls constantly; if you expect to just give it full throttle and have it hang like a helium balloon on a string you'll be disappointed. It's a real flying machine and it takes careful and constant control in all directions. Being very light, it reacts to very little air movement like forced air/AC vents, open windows and its own rotor wash when close to a wall.

Pros:

- Very fun and addictive.
- Easy to fly once you get the hang of it. They recommend a double garage or a basement - I fly it in my 20x20 living room with no problems.
- Good flight time (about 10 minutes on a full charge).
- Durable (even a 6+ foot drop on carpet will not damage it and if (well, when) you hit a wall or a piece of furniture the rotors simply fold in).
- Wall-plug charger (doesn't require a base with batteries like other brands).

Cons:

- Long charge time (at least one to one and a half hours; other brands will recharge in about 30 minutes).
- Small radio controller (obviously made for kids, but still...).

The user of these micro helicopters has to be patient... they're easy to fly (certainly easier than a full-size RC plane or helicopter) but still require some ramp-up time. Flying it every two hours or so (allowing the battery to cool down and then recharge) over a couple of days or (long) evenings should get most to a point where they can take off and land on e.g. a coffee table or even their own hand.

Bottom line: Fun, addictive and well built but requires trimming and is not a toy for young children.

Customer Review: Pretty tough
We read a couple of reviews suggesting that this helicopter toy breaks easily. Actually, we found it quite tough. We crashed it a number of times, but nothing was ever damaged. It just "takes a lickin', but keeps on ticking."

After about six or eight crash flights, I got the hang of it and succeeded in a number of very good, lengthy flights.

I am age 68. My twentysomething son liked it a lot, and flew it with considerable skill.

Give it a try.

We bought this for our son and grandson. They're having a great time. The helicopters are very durable -- take a licking and keep on ticking. Also, the learning curve on controlling the helicopters was not too steep for either an eight-year old grandson or a sixty-five year old grandfather.

Radio Flyer Classic Wagon - Aero Ace Blue/Gray Jet Fighter Channel B Air Hogs R/C


Aero Ace Blue/Gray Jet Fighter Channel B Air Hogs R/C Remote control is easy to use with directional yaw control to make plane go four directions up/down/left/right! Crash resistant plane with flexible construction is just the right type for a beginner! Plane is already assembled.. just plug in your own 6AAA batteries and go!
Customer Review: Aero Ace : 3 Models REVIEWED --Highly Recommended!
In the past two weeks I've purchase All 3 Aero Ace models. The bi-plane, fighter, and this one the Jet. I also, own the mini-Storm Launcher. Of all the years I've purchased 'affordable' flying toys. These are by far the best ever! Myself, my wife, and two kids(9 & 10) are all able to fly all of these with just a little effort, and no previous experience.

This model, 'the jet', is probly the fastest(needs a little more space), handles higher winds well(as compared to the others,seems to prefer a little wind) climbs well and soars downward like the space shuttle, to a perfect landing everytime, just let off the controls. This one tends to require a bit more throttle than the others and therefore kills batteries a little quicker, 6AA batteries gets 6-10 charges, depending on quality. Charging takes longer as batteries die. Typically a 20-30 minute charge yields 12-15+ minutes of flight time. Full throttle all the way gets the 12 minutes.

These things gain 'lift' at full throttle and settle into a nice cruise at lower throttle levels. Cruise and sail about and you'll easily stay up over 15 minutes. Again, this one needs about half throttle to stay aloft. The 'jet' model has a moderate chance of soaring away from you, but it will gently land when out of range, though it'll go awhile.

*****Also, TAKE NOTE - I would not recommend putting the decals on. All three models flew best WITHOUT the supplied devals. The planes are colorer/patterned out of the box. The decals seem to only add weight and drag. However, they probably will add some structural support. I have not found strenth to be a problem, we've crashed all of ours hundered of times, they continue to survive, undamaged with only surface blemishes.

I'm telling you this model flies well! I can just throw it straight up into the air, hit the throttle and it'll stall, level out, and take off.

Just as note: by contrast, the other two Air Hogs Aero Ace models, the bi-plane, and fighter;

the bi-place is the slowest, but flies great. Just trugs alog like a fling tank. Handles higher winds well, this one stays up the easiest with no effort, just full throttle. Doesn't cruise as well as the others. Nice acrobatice(jet plane, is hardly acrobatic, though manueverable) Will not easily get away from you. Let off the controls and it spirals slowly downward.

The 'fighter' is he the best soarer. Has ALOT of lift, mine must 'cruise' at the lowest throttle setting only(throttle on these things seeem to have about 6 steps) Anything higher than level 1 on the fighter and it climbs altitude quick. also, a headwind will cause the same effect with no control, be careful. The fighter model will soar away from you the easiest, even when you let off the controls. The wind will take this one away. By far the most acrobatic and manueverable. This is the hardest to fly in my opinion. Delicate throttle control and light, pre-streering is required and compared to the other Aero Ace's. Not the best for beginners. Stick with the bi-plane or jet.


A quick note here about the mini-storm launcher. Similar to the others with a few key differences. 1>It has wheels, it can take off and land. Also, works in snow(NO WATER). 2>Flies like a flying carpet. handles winds well, reasonably controlled, yet wobbly flying. It is fun. Will not easliy soar away. Takes 8AA batts(instead of 6)Takes 10 of so minutes longer to charge.

Hope this helps everyone choose the right plane for them. These are the experiences gathered as my family and myself enjoy these wonderful toys. My children tend to fly them as much as possible. GREAT FUN!! All spectators passing by have been impressed. Especially when I tell them the Price $$$$$ 29.99. Can't be beat!

We fly these in about a half-acre of space at minimum and find that
1-1/2+ is really nice. Bi-plane works best in small spaces and the more wind, the more space needed!

Customer Review: Lots of Fun
Not the easiest thing to fly and they do kind of have a mind of their own but a ton of fun. You definitely need a large room (preferably with high ceilings) to get the best out of them. Great toy for both little and big kids.
Customer Review: Air Hocs are great fun
My pre-teen boys have had a blast with these toys! It's not often you can find really fun toys for boys 8 & 11. These hit the mark. The tail blade is a bit weak, but if the company will replace that we'll be fine (we haven't asked yet). These really develop a boy's eye-hand coordination - or for that matter, even his mom's!

Customer Review: good...ish
well, the storm launcher is tons of fun to fly, but... 1. the battery is not included so you have to buy this battery 2. the battery takes hours to charge but only lasts 10 minutes, if you are not flying the storm launcher i recomend that you buy MULTIPLE batteries if you are planning a nice fun day flying the storm launcher in a park
Customer Review: Horrible Product
This battery is a JOKE!!! You charge it for four hours and you are lucky if you can get 5 minutes of flight time before the battery dies. A disgrace, as is the junky plane made of styrofoam. You pay $100 for a toy, it would be nice if it flew for more than five minutes and didn't break into pieces on every landing.
