Air Hogs RC Helicopter Review
o.k. I’m brand new to any Air Hogs RC Helicopter product or even R/C helicopters but I really like this R/C toy. I bought one of these for 20 bucks for my 13 year old son’s birthday but it turned out that my 10 year old daughter really loves it. The helicopter charges from the remote (which also houses the helicopter which I think is a great idea and prevents loss/separation of heli/control!) Runs about 20 minutes before needing around a 15 minute charge. Our dog thinks this thing is a bug and loves jumping while he watches it. It seems very durable because we have crashed it a lot. The steering has a little bit to be desired. I researched the air hog on youtube and found that if you insert a very light small screw in the nose, the front of the heli points a little downward and makes for better forward movement. Also a very important point: After several runs the heli would start spinning on lift off and we couldn’t "trim" it to straighten flight. The cause? Our dogs hair on the carpet wrapping around the small rear propellor. If you have a dog or carpet every now and then you need to examine the back prop for hair or thread, remove the prop, and untwist the hair off the back prop axle. Takes 4 AA batteries and since the remote also has to charge I’d recommend using rechargable batteries as I do. Heli is a very small package and we just keep it on the living room coffee table. Until someone picks it up and flies it! I’m sure there are much better heli’s but for the money but this was one of the best gifts I’ve ever given my children (or Dad!)for fun value. I actually bought another one for my daughter on Christmas! For Sale
