I used to love air hogs, now im into the more advanced planes but i still think airhogs is a great way for young kids to fly because they are virtually impossible to break and they are very easy to fly.
@BoltKid09 these are really a lot of fun once you learn how to fly it, but they aren't as easy to find anymore, you may need to look on ebay or amazon to get one, it was also sold as the silverlit stingray.
i got one it was fun to fly until the rudder broke i was flying it over my lake and the tail dipped into the water witch was wierd since the tail is basicly magnetically turned
TURNING LEFT! If you look at the front of the plane, on the left side, the wing is bent up slightly at the front. If you flatten this out a little you will be able turn left and do some highspeed left circles.
i am very happy that air hogs has made a plane that uses a servo.
ive been with airhogs since 1999 and now im 15 i fly rc planes that require an engine and six 16 dollar servos and 20 dollar fuel. now i hate planes that turn by speeding up one motor and using throttle as elevator. the cool thing is this can do harrier rolls. the hardest rc stunt ever. the plane does a barrel roll and moving horizontal while its nose points up.
I know how to fly real rc planes, jets, helicopters and so forth, and I do it very well, I just don't have the money for the larger birds, we fly what we can afford because we love to fly, not because it's our dream aircraft.
you really have to learn to vary your thrust constantly, it's like doing a harrier maneuver in a larger rc airplane you have to keep it at just the right speed, vary your thrust constantly, and don't give it to much thrust or it goes into the torque roll.
it take practice and a good amount of space, but once you get the hang of it, you'll have a blast.
It's the wire that leads to the actuator that breaks, the wire runs through the rod that the blade spins on, if you get in a hard wreck and knock the bar loose it can cut the wires running through it, no wires means no electricity which means no actuator, the wires are a little to thin to easily solder back together, they need to put a little slack on them instead of gluing them into the foam.
Hey you said the wire are too small to solder back together---> go to radio shack and pick up a cold heat soldering tool. There are two models high power one and low power one. I have a low power one and it works great for super tiny wires, does not need flux and did I say it works great? have had the same batteries in it for years! can't say enough. might pick up one of these cyclones, thanks for the vid.
well i fianlly got it to charge but when i too a close look at the ruter and the back to stear it the cables were broken so now i have to say on which dirrection it is going to move but it is ok because it normally stays in or near the same spot
You know whats funny, it did get stuck in a tree, the trees you see with snow on them in the video, it got stuck about 30 feet up, and it was stuck good, a had to throw the transmitter up and break the tree limb to get it down, it's a strong transmitter.
the new V-wing avenger is way better, you should get that, same price, same flight speed, better control and faster climb. No rudder problems either, cuz the wires are thicker.
I actually have one already, I picked it up at wall mart for 10 bucks on clearance. It is a nice little aircraft, I'd like to make it turn quicker though. I should have a review coming soon.
if u wasnt it to turn quicker, take a piece of scotch tape, and stick a bit of it on one side of the rudder, then fold it in half and stick the other side to the other side of the rudder. the tape adds more area to it without adding too much weight, allowing you to turn better. worked for me
CRAAAAAAAAP!!!! mine broke today!!!! and i bought it yesterday! the stupid rudder stopped working!! i can't return it either!!!! thats it. i'm destroying it. i'm going to record it too.
its really not that good i have 4 of them 2have rudder thats just stop working its only good if you enjoy all things that fly rc and have extra cash to blow they are way better choices even the nano hawk is way better nano hawk flies more like a plane this thing flies way to slow and weird
The rudder wires are run through the black shaft that the propeller turns on, if that shaft becomes unglued and moves to far during a wreck it will cut the wires. This killed the rudder on mine. I guess one of the main reasons I like it is that it can fly so slow that it's great for indoor flying, plus I like cool strange aircraft.
Awesome video! I used to have one until my brother crushed it and even though I have flown 4CH Helis, 3D Helis and Planes I still enjoyed flying it. I do not own any 3D Planes or Helis Yet but I do own a 4CH one and this still made fun. But after it broke I got a Jetscream and that too is fun.
ok well i just got mine yesterday and it is awesome but there is one problem... mine will not charge anymore.... i tryed getting new bateries didnt work now the propeler doesnt turn and when i put the remote on charge mode it just shuts the controler off idk ima go get a replacement
although I would love to be flying jet helicopters and 3d airplanes capable of torque rolls, we have to fly what we can afford to buy. theirs no such thing as being to old to play with toys.
They are also a good indicator of the advancement of technology and production methods.
I have to show you the Micro Gears they are SUPER STABLE!! If you trim it right, you'll say it's the most stable copter you've ever flown, but then the Bladesters are pretty good
Cool little gnat. I'm sure it's not as easy to fly as you make it look, but still...Just 20 bucks. Think I'll take a ride over to TRU and check it out.
As always, a very slick vid, T-flyer. It's good to see ur channel back "on the air." Five stars.
i know, i went to record it and when i turned my head to turn on the camera i heard a loud "PING". when i turned my head back i saw little white pieces falling to the ground. i was like oh shat
It's really a lot of fun, I walked past it a number of times in stores and thought about getting it, I'm pretty happy with it, it's definitely worth the 20 bucks I spent.
I should be posting a few more videos in the next week or two. One will be about a new havoc heli that comes with a laser tag target that can be blown up with an IR beam from the helicopter.
Hi. That is a very nice r/c plane. Also I love the background music. Can I purchase a cd containing the music ??
