 Airhogs Scream- easy to fly and safe June 19, 2010
Sweatbeads (Washington DC)
This aircraft does pretty well- the canard design (forward tail) prevents stalls. The controller has an excellent range, and the batteries hold a charge long enough for many flights. To make a turn, the inboard motor is automaticallty thottled back- but this can result in a loss of altitude. We added a couple aluminum tabs on the canards that made it possible to change the flight characteristics (see the customer pictures). Overall- worth the money; better that several other RC aircraft we have tried.
From someone who's flown them for over a year... April 29, 2010
M. Karpinski (Western New York State)
First off, I've been flying this plane for over a year now. I bought one as my first RC plane. For this price, I figured I could afford to build my flying skills on it, and I was not disappointed. If you're looking for a serious RC plane then you may not like this one that much. It MUST be flown in little to no wind and a charge lasts for about 10 minutes of flight time. However, if you want something to just mess around with and hone your flight skills for bigger, better planes, then this one is terrific. I now own two of these since I found it works out very well to fly one til it dies then charge it up while flying the other. You have virtually no "down-time" this way. Both planes are still in good shape after a year of use. I fly over a grassy field and have not broken anything... yet. Wind is the biggest adversary to this plane. It is made of a styro-foam-like material and is very light. It almost has the feel of a controled kite, especially when it is at a high altitude. It is designed to use it's engines to control it's steering and altitude. If you want to go higher, give it more power and point it into the breeze. I've had this thing scary-high and have had to just cut power and let it fall to a lower height. It took a little while to master but like I said, it was my first RC plane. Now I can toss-launch it and not bring it down til the battery runs out. And alot of the time I bring it right back and catch it in my hand. One thing I will mention, the first plane I bought flies better than the second. The body on the 2nd was bent up more and the stabilizers are at a different angle. So each may have it's own slightly different flight characteristics to get used to. But you'll love every minute once you get dialed in on it. For the price, I highly recommend. Happy flying!!
 Great Fun!!! December 14, 2009

I bought this plane because it looked cool. The first time I took it out, I was able to do basic maneuvers and keep it in the air for quite a while. This is my very first rc plane and I was able to learn to fly in about 10 minutes. Super easy and fun to fly. Other reviews mention that it is hard to fly in the wind and that is true, but it is still possible. It just adds to the challenge. I have crashed the plane many times in the grass and it didn't sustain any damage. I did hit the leg of a metal chair and snapped part of the front wing off, but with a little scotch tape, it is good as new. Flys just fine! I highly recommend this plane. For some reason the price has sky rocketed (must be popular). If you can find it in the stores, it might be cheaper. I only paid 40 for it at Kmart. Good luck.

I bought this after reading some positive reviews but am really disappointed. It maybe that I got a lemon, but it doesn't have enough power to climb more than a couple of feet. All you can do is make it climb a few feet, do a couple of turns and have it fall back on the ground. Wind makes things even worse. I have been flying RC planes for quite some time now and own a number of electric trainers and a nitro model. So for someone with no or little RC flying experience, its got to be even more difficult flying this thing. Not recommended at all.
Buy it if u can find it hell of a jet ! October 8, 2009

Best looking and coolest Air Hog yet flys like a champ.I have used this Air Hog over and over again if u are able to get one hurry up and buy it because there becomming hard to find.I have one myself and im having lots of fun with it.This jet responds really well and flys awsome.Dont listen to the sour reviews just a bunch of noob plane flyers who dont know what there doing.For [...] if u can get it for that grab it.The price is going to climb due to the fact there becomming non existant because there the hottest hog on the market and people are snatching them up like water.Be prepeared to not be able to buy it for 40$ be prepared to pay at least 100$ tops maybe more.I have an email from spin master the maker of the Air Hogs line confirming to me there done making this style of an Air Hog this year and 2010 will bring different models.So get it while u can because it will be a must have for Air Hog fans.Do a search and find and buy one you will see how hard it is to buy online and or find at a store insane I tell ya.So keep looking online here at Amazon and at a store and grab em while u can !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
