Client Reviews

Right after reading a handful of evaluations and even watching a handful of video critiques, we chose this Airplane over the RC Vehicles with built-in video/nonetheless camera for the reason that it seemed straightforward to fly, entertaining, and sturdy. We had to wait about three days right after purchasing it to try flying it due to the fact of high wind, and my son was acquiring antsy. When we lastly got the likelihood to attempt it out, we were promptly disappointed.
Very first, the plane is a actual discomfort to even launch. You have to be at complete throttle ahead of even trying to 'throw' it to launch, and then the angle of the throw should be totally fantastic for it not to right away nose-dive into the ground, or flutter a bit just before...nose-diving into the ground. We attempted soft throws, difficult throws, straight throws, lobbed throws, with wind, against wind, cross wind, and so on...it seemed that throwing it straight seriously hard with the wind yielded the top outcomes for a effective launch.
Second, when we finally got the plane airborne, 1 of two things happened: it would either get out of range (100' advertised range was not knowledgeable right here, and we had been in a wide-open park with no trees or something inside 200-300 feet), stall, and nose-dive into the ground, or it would hit a slight wind gust, barrel roll, and nose-dive into the ground. Either way, even when it did fly, it was continually turning ideal and there wasn't adequate time to trim it to fly straight prior to it would either get out of range or as soon as again, nose-dive into the ground.
Third, we got it to fly about 4 times in half an hour, and the longest flight was perhaps ten seconds. The directions say to maintain full throttle to obtain altitude and release throttle to descend, but we held the throttle at max the complete time, and the factor generally lost altitude. I do not assume it ever got a great deal more than ten feet off the ground.
The photos and video that we managed to get had been okay for one thing like this. They were of low superior, but you could at least make out faces and objects in both. I would have genuinely liked to get Some thing salvageable from this, but by no means did.
The literal nail in the coffin right here was the last time the plane took a nose-dive from no significantly more than about eight feet up. The foam nose broke, but was held on by wiring inside.
I am returning this item immediately and getting an RC auto with video/still camera. At least I know it'll almost certainly roll on the ground with minimal effort and it won't crash and burn if it gets out of range. Lesson learned.

The Air Hogs Hawk Eye Blue Sky is one thing unexpected from Air Hogs. This "toy" was a single of the most unique solutions from the company that executes its notion effectively beyond expectations. The plane is really sturdy with its retro design no large delicate wings. The plane flies just like the hobby planes but calls for practice. Likely the coolest function is the camera. Though not 1080p like all the cameras in our lives, this camera gives a whole new perspective of our planet. This is awesome for young children and adults as properly. It takes decent superior pictures and videos but without sound. Overall, this is something every single youngster will need to fly.
