 I bought 2 storm launchers January 18, 2010
Michael Chandler Jr. (HI)
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.

This high-powered machine is a lot of fun but needs a long learning curve to learn to fly it. During that learning time, there's a high probability you will damage it. It should come with more spare propellers and places to buy new ones.
 this is an amazing pro plane May 13, 2007

this is an amazeing plane if you jsut take off the back stabalizer it wil fly so well!! (-_-) just go on youtube and trpe in storm launcher. it flys better that any video shows it. i fly it over my lake, and in my back yard. sometimes i am evean able to land it in my pool!!! this thing is not a toy and is for more like 13-70 years old. when you get it it will not fly. run it into the wall for first 10-11 times to wear in moters, then after that watch youre bird do backflips, and i can get mine to fly up-side-down !!!
dheck out [...]"and search for storm launcher"
awsome toy April 4, 2007

first of all, it's not a toy, it's a hobby plane and i agree with the people who say it's not for 10 year olds. every one who wrote a bad review was either too impatient to fly it and didn't read the instructions which say it is a pro level plane and to fly it, you need to read the instructions or you'l regret it or they're just not good pilots. my experience with the storm launcher was excelent. you need to drive it on the ground the first 8- 10 times so the motors can get used to it. then, before flying, you need to do some small jumps for practice. before you know it, you can fly it for almost 6 minutes and do loops.
