I purchased 2 storm launchers which included the battery and charger. Great; I could start flying. There were pre-flight preparations and upgrades to do and breaking in the motors. The first one flew well till the left motor failed. The second one worked but had to fix the rudder which was ajar when I received it.
I have never flown something this big as the original storm launcher. My plan was to fly at lower heights turning and landing. Apply a little throttle and elevator and the storm launcher ascends very high and fast. I panicked because I didn't know how to land it. Easing off the throttle and let it descend was one option or use the rudder to land. The storm launcher did a nose dive because I used too much rudder down from about 30 feet high. Part of the foam cracked and the rudder detached as a result. No real damage. I was lucky this time.
I am fascinated with devices such as the storm launcher's ability to move on land, sea and air. I will upgrade one storm launcher with the defective motor to brush less. It will be costly since there are no parts available. But better then having this unit sitting. Guess I could use it for parts. I'll call Spin master to check. I prefer flying the storm launcher right out of the box. It's less expensive then upgrading. I didn't put enough hours to do an upgrade. I'll have to purchase another storm launcher. Even though both my storm launchers had defects you can't ignore how well it flies - smooth and manageable. With practice, I hope to fly better.Get more detail about Air Hogs Storm Launcher 27.045 MHz yellow.
