Air Hogs Star Wars Remote Control Ultimate Millennium Falcon Quad

The Air Hogs Star Wars Remote Control Millennium Falcon is a “super cool” toy, according to my 8 year old son! Being able to fly the most iconic ship in the Star Wars fleet was a real treat for him! He loves Star Wars, but doesn't enjoy playing with the figurines anymore so this was a fun and unique new toy for him. The Remote Control Millennium Falcon came packaged very simply without cumbersome packaging to rip open, tons of ties to unsecure or enough paperwork to fill a trashcan. This was a much appreciated feature! The Millennium Falcon is a very lightweight unit that comes with four rotors built into it. It's smaller than I thought it would be but that doesn't detract from enjoying it! It touts a stabilization feature that really does make for a smoother flight, unlike some of the remote control helicopters and such that we own. The remote control was very easy to figure out, so we were flying the Millennium Falcon in no time. We did have a few crashes at first, with no damage to the unit itself. I read reviews that says the toy has a short battery life, but so far, so good for us! Also, the manufacturer says the toy has a flying range up to 200 feet. However, we only took it to about 100 feet away, but it had great control at that point. The price on this toy is a bit higher than other remote control toys, but I think you get a higher quality design so it's worth the money. Overall, this is a great remote control toy for anyone, but especially for your favorite Star Wars fun – no matter the age!

What kid who grew up in the 1980s doesn't want to fly the Millennium Falcon? I know I always did, Despite what Lucas said, I always thought Han Solo was, or at least should have been, the star of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I was a huge fan of Han and of course the Falcon. I cried when Lando betrayed Han and got him encased in Carbonite. I rejoiced when Leia rescued him from Jabba. I was STOKED to find he is starring in the new movie and still being played by the wonderful, awesome, super talented Harrison Ford (greatest American Actor, ever, in my opinion). So, of course, you can imagine my delight to find Air Hogs has come out with a remote control Millennium Falcon. This is a rather sturdy little flying toy. I was surprised to find it is recommended for indoor use only. But it is basically a four prop mini drone encased in a sturdy foam cover that is a very detailed replica of the Falcon. After a few minutes, I easily figured out how to make it hover and fly. With a little practice, I was able to get it to fly well. It charges fairly quickly and can even charge off the batteries (4 AA, not included) in the remote. Or, you can plug one cord into the Falcon from the remote and then another cord into the remote and into the wall to charge it. The remote makes sound effects that include hyperspace jumps, R2D2 and other classic Star Wars sounds. Overall, I really like this drone. I am very happy with it.
