K'NEX Hi-Flyers 10 Model Building Set Review

K'NEX Hi-Flyers 10 Model Building Set
Average Reviews:

This is a great set for younger builders. With varying degrees of difficulty in the 10 different models that can built with it its easy enough for the 5/6 year old to build on his own but also offers more challenging plans to test his growing abilities. The plane shown on the box was the first thing my son built. It was easy to put together and stayed together for him to be able to play with without any problems. With instructions to be able to build different airplanes, hang-gliders, parachutes (which looks like a hot air balloon to me)this set would be a definite hit with your little aviator!!

Blizzard Glider ARF Review

Blizzard Glider ARF
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had two flights, fast but not super fast. I am still trying out props and adaptors looking for the right wattage for my setup. A 10x6 folding prop pulls about 300 watts, about where I want to be (a 9x6 fixed prop pulls about 400W). This was a time consuming build. A lot of fiberglass reinforcement has to be glued in slots provided on both the fuselage, wings and tail. All in all, I think I will be very happy with it. It is beautiful to look at, as fast as my skill level, and very stable in the sky. I recommend the "Blizzard" to anyone who has the patience and time to put two or three days into assembly. I think it is worth it.

The Blizzard is a high-performance Sport Liner model that pushes the envelope of the ELAPOR® technology. Built with the highest quality materials the Blizzard utilizes Glass Reinforced Plastic longerons and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic spars to give it the torsional rigidity needed for its high performance flight characteristics. When built with the recommended power pack the Blizzard has the power for vertical hand-launches, breath-taking high-speed passes and thanks to the thin 8.9% airfoil the Blizzard is no slouch when it comes to riding the thermals either.

Megatech Prowler 3 Channel Remote Control Glider Review

Under powered for the size of plane it is. The NiMh batteries don't hold much of a charge .Maybe I just got a bum set! Not very likely that there were two bad batteries in thr same kit. I still have not had it in the air for more than a minute. I wish I had bought a Radian from ParkZone for a hundred dollars more.
