This review is from: Air Hogs Eradicator Deco 1: Blue (Toy)

My friends and family (all adults) have owned about 12 different Air Hog planes between us and this is what we have found.
* Some planes fly better than others
* They are somewhat fragile, but they have to be light to fly! I have crashed one plane more than 50 times and it still flies great.
* They don't fly well in more than moderate winds
* Unlike model rockets which take the good part of the day to plan, drive to a field and launch, Air Hogs can be a quick 30 minute adventure in the back yard or in a near by park.

I love Air Hogs and will continue to try out new varieties. I do wish all the planes flied as well as some of the planes. The best one (so far) has been discontinued for years.

This review is from: Air Hogs Eradicator Deco 1: Blue (Toy)

I have 2 sons (ages 7 & 9) that have played with the Air Hogs Eradicator for over 2 months and still love it. The plane is made out of a light weight material, so you must be careful not to leave it on the floor or throw it in a toy box, but we have crashed it at the park probably close to 100 times and it keeps flying and hasn't had more than a scratch. I understand you can purchase replacement wings if they do break, but we haven't found this to be necessary. It is best to fly the plane in a large open area, away from roofs and trees. We have seen this plane fly for over 3 minutes at a time. Any wind gust will easily keep it in the air and cause it to go higher. We have bought this toy as a gift for several birthday parties and it has been a winner every time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea, but way too fragile, March 14, 2004

This is the fourth or fifth Air Hog we've purchased, and it will be the last for awhile. It broke on the second flight - the fuselage snapped right behind the wing area. We've owned several battery powered models, all of which have broken within the first hour of use.

Our first purchase - an air powered model - lasted longer (it came with two sets of wings), but was still broken within 2 weeks.

We are looking for something more durable now - the concept is great but they just need to be tougher.
