 mini fun storm launcher February 2, 2010

This is a toy that's simple to fly. There are no rudders or elevons; just throttle, left and right controls. Powerful motors lift it high in the air. Take offs from the ground are better going against a little breeze. I've had it cruising along high in the air. Wish it could go on water and was more manageable in the air. It's good at what it does. The unconventional shape is unique. Kids and adults want to know what it is. It resembles a scorpion flying in the sky. Overall, it's a durable fun toy.

I bought it for my hubby for Christmas and he enjoys it. he said it took him a while to get the hang of it so it would fly.

I ordered 3 of these a few days before Christmas 2009 from [...] for $[...] each, with less than $[...] SH/Tax. FIFTEEN dollars folks! UPS delivered the planes 2 days later. I'd rank the plane higher except that I've only gotten to use it once. It is very easy to fly. It doesn't get as high as I would prefer, but it handles very easily and turns responsively to the controller. It isn't super fast. My major problem with the flying is that the tail seems to drop down a bit farther than I would have preferred...not giving it a totally level profile in flight. Anyway, if you can go and get one, it's a lot of fun and very easy to use. Other than to want to watch it taxi to takeoff, I would suggest just tossing it into the air to conserve battery charge.
 A mediocre flyer July 17, 2009

This craft is a squirrelly flyer. If maintains excessive pitch, and does not steer in a stable manner.
You can GREATLY improve the crafts climbing ability by reducing weight and air drag. This works:
* Take off the long protector sticking out the top
* Remove the wheels and the hard plastic in the pontoons that retain them.
* Use a razor blade to carve down the rear section of the cockpit
* Carve out the pontoons leaving only the inner wall
*** ALTHOUGH THESE CHANGES WORK, YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO HAND-LAUNCH THE CRAFT ***

I bought this plane and at first thought it was junk. I was about to return it when I deciced to wait to see if I could get it going. Sure enough, it started working. The only bad thing is that it needs wind to start up. Yesterday I got it to launch off my Aunt Sheley's driveway turn left and go straight for about 45 feet. The only people I would not recomend this plane to are people that don't get a lot of wind.
