Air Hogs Sharp Shooter Blue This instant

I'm not a kid, but my eyes lit up when I saw this at my local Target. As a child, I was used to racing RC cars but never had I flown anything. So at the behest of my girlfriend, I bought two so that we could have aerial fights (it has rockets!). Of course by the time I paid for it ($35.99 in stores) and was out the door, I began wondering if this thing would really fly. After charging it up and reading up on directions, I must say I was surprised as to how well this worked for the price.

The toy itself is very light, but the frame is quite sturdy for an RC this price. Ours have taken significant beatings after crashing nearly two stories several times onto solid concrete and the worst they took were superficial damage with scuffing. It handles loaded rockets fairly well, but you'll have better control without them in. Another thing to keep in mind is to be careful where you fly it. Flying this in winds other than very light will result in it being very hard to control if not unlikely. You could fly it indoors well, but keep in mind that this sucker can zoom around very quickly. Also taking off on a smooth surface will ensure a cleaner lift, as being on uneven terrain will cause it to zip to one side and barrel roll on the ground.

The RC charges through the controller which works off of six AA batteries. After roughly a half hour charge, the heli will have around four minutes of juice for flight. All in all, not too bad for a remote controller heli at a reasonable price. I do have a few warnings however. The first being that a good deal of patience is needed to master the toy. I'd say it's reasonable for a young child to figure it out, but adult supervision would probably be of help in giving the child advice on balance. The other is if you are buying this toy in an urban environment, either try to learn to fly low or else risk it flying right into a tree or a rooftop REAL easily. The battery life may also be short for many people's liking, also.

All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and for anyone who wishes to fly, I wouldn't mind recommending this to budding RC pilots.Get more detail about Air Hogs Sharp Shooter Blue.
