Air Hogs Sky Shark Replacement Wings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, this toy is almost foolproof but not quite. Like any flying toy, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Before attempting powered flight, hand launch it like a glider to see what adjustments need to be made to keep it balanced. Remember, toy airplanes fly just like real ones. If you try to fly it right out of the box without proper preparation, the results would be the same if you hopped in a jet to fly it with no experience. After playing with it for about 30 minutes, we launched it under full power and were amazed.
The aircraft looked and sounded like the real thing and we ended up with every kid within a mile wanting to watch. It spiraled upwards and outward in an expanding radius. (be sure you have a large treeless park or cow pasture as we did). When the air ran out, the skyshark remained stable and made a better landing than some airliners I have been on.
It takes a little getting used to in order to launch. On occasion the prop will run in reverse but is easily stopped and restarted correctly.
I bought this for my 5 year old niece who already had a RC blimp (my favorite for inside flight) and she loved it. It is more suited for 10 and over, but with adult supervision is a really fun toy for kids to learn about aviation science and the forces that allow powered flight.
I am a retired employee of a major airline, licensed pilot with over 5,000 flight hours heavy jet and I had as much fun with this toy as the kids did... in fact, I bought myself one to play with too. I highly recommend this safe, fun toy.

RC Airplane Super Sonic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another purchase for my grandson and although he is enjoying playing with it, it is a mess. Plane is all styrofoam and had to be put together. First time he flew it, it flew for about 10 seconds and crashed down nose first. Pushed the nose inward and all the wings fell off. Lost the landing gear. Had to keep repairing it with packing tape. Antennea broke off of the radio controller. All this happened within the first half hour. Wouldn't recommend this at all. But the grandson loves it. lol

Super Sonic RC Model Airplane R/C SYMA 9399 Training Plane ARF Radio Control Aircraft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a total disappointment. It is so true, you get what you pay for. If the total cost of the plane with S&H was $20.00 I could see, but no, I paid $32.60. Virtually Indestructible was used to describe this plane. What exactly does "Virtually" mean. The nose on the A/C bent up on the first flight with a fairly easy landing. By the end of the third flight the little black nose tip and the entire front end were a crushed mass of bend up strudy foam. And get this... The solid foam construction, well this gave way and the electronics pack w/ the battery were up in the front of the A/C as well. And to beat all the horizontal Stab broke.
I know, I know, you're thinking yeah right... I have been flying RC a/C for years. I was going to introduce my son to an A/C he might be able to handle. Heck, his father couldn't! The first flight was a beautiful long graceful flight. Perfect landing. The next two attempts, the plane never got ten feet off the ground before winging over into the ground. No, Not pilot error! The A/C was trashed out in less than 10 minutes. Oh, and the battery, what a joke! We got one flight. Less than ten minutes. Needless to say...Do not waste your time or money on this product. It is a let down. Bought mine at [...] Don't make the mistake I did...

WowWee Bladestar Flame Indoor Flyer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a flying machine unlike anything you've ever seen before. It's not an airplane, it's not a helicopter, it's not an autogyro, it's not an ornithopter with flapping wings. It's a powered maple seed. I'd have never thought of it, and you probably wouldn't have either, but the Wowwee designers did, and they deserve lots of credit for this masterpiece of out-of-the-box thinking.
I read about it in the magazine of an engineering society that I belong to, and the reviewer couldn't figure out what kind of "control equation" allowed an object with no non-rotating reference elements -- everything on the Bladestar spins -- to operate under directed flight. He must have come from the same aeronautical tradition as the ones that proved that a bumblebee can't fly. (We now know that insects use nonlinear "unsteady flows" to gain more lift than traditional aerodynamic equations provide for.)
While the Bladestar employs "AI" according to its advertising, it's not as smart as a bumblebee. But it can successfully avoid light-colored objects under good conditions. In the jargon of AI research this is called situationist autonomous control. If the room you're flying it in has dark walls like my living room, you'll have to guide it away from them yourself. The blades do collect dings if you fly it into hard objects, but the wingtips are covered with heavy foil that you can smooth out and it's nearly as good as new.
It naturally hovers very stably, so you might expect it to respond to the controls like a UFO in a video game, but no, this is a real flying object with gyroscopic effects when it tilts to move sideways. It takes a little bit of practice to learn to anticipate these movements and coordinate the controls appropriately. I was practicing landing on target after about 5 flights.

Bladestar is a revolutionary indoor flying machine that changes helicopter flight as we know it. This is the first flying toy with a sensor-based navigation that enables it to glide itself through the air as it avoids ceilings and other obstacles. Alternatively you can control it with the three-channel digital IR controller, and with the dogfight accessory attached you can face-off two bladestars to see who will win. When you notice power loss, simply recharge right from the controller. Made from light "high-flex" materials and designed to be crash-resistant, Bladestar is built for indoor flight. Requires 6 "AA" batteries, not included.
