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.
