Air Hogs Star Wars Remote Control Ultimate Millennium Falcon Quad

If you are a Star Wars fan or just fond of remote-controlled models, you will like this Millennium Falcon. It is a well-detailed quad-copter that gives the impression of the "real" model from a short distance away. It is not completely accurate, but will satisfy pretty much everyone except hardcore Star Wars fans. It is well-balanced in flight. The remote will make authentic movie sounds at the touch of a button. It also has lights that are on in use, which are awesome in low-light conditions. My teen boys have enjoyed this model very much, and say that the neatest thing about it is how it looks in flight. The body is made of a really light Styrofoam, so when it says "indoor use only," it means it! The slightest of breezes affects its performance. But the up-side to this is that it can handle crashes really well without breaking. I have a few concerns about this model. The first is how touchy the controls are. Unless the person that uses this has had previous practice with RC toys, be aware that there is a steep learning curve for figuring out how to control this model. However, since it is crash resistant, if you are patient this is not a huge concern. Unfortunately, this length of time required to learn feeds into the second concern. The battery has to be small to be able to fit into this model. As a result there is only about a ten minute playtime per charge, and then you must allow the ship to cool for about thirty minutes before charging it again. This can become frustrating when you are learning to control the flight. I have noticed that if you plug the charger into the model backwards (which is easy to do, since it is square), it will appear to be malfunctioning. The solution is simply to turn the charger cord around and plug it in again. The last concern I have is that it is easy to suck a piece of stray hair off the floor into the rotors, which causes it to bind up and stop the rotor. This in turn causes the entire toy to become off-balance.

Ok...I do not know where to start...But I have to say this has to be one of the coolest toy I have ever seen and played with!!! It just blows my mind how toys are nowadays...Not to mention it's a Star Wars toy :) The falcon is a bit deceiving...it is made out of foam...so it is so light weight...even the remote is not heavy at all...When I picked it up it felt light and honestly cheaply made...but don't let that fool you...Once you turn it on you won't want to put it down...My husband and teenage son loved it...they couldn't stop playing with it...I don't know if because I'm a mom it took me a while to get the hang of it lol...I did drop it quite a few times...but since it's made of foam nothing happened to it...the falcon lights up and when if you turn the lights off it looks amazing...it also has sound...and you could clearly hear the hoovering sound ..It could be a bit noisy..we used it indoors but can't wait to use it outdoors...Of course on a not so windy day...This toy would make a perfect gift :) the only not so good thing is it used 6 AA batteries...
