Air Hogs V. Wing Avenger - Colors May Vary
I've flown RC models and other flying toys for 40 years. This is the best flying flapper (off the shelf) that I've ever flown or seen. It works straight out of the box. It is easy for anyone to fly. It flies in the house. It drives cats crazy. It is safe and resilient to bouncing into stuff. It is the best price performer in the flying toy category I've seen. I bought 40 of these at Christmas for needy kids that wouldn't have gotten a present otherwise, and I'm glad I did. It is more fun and works better than I could have expected.

PS, I'm an aerospace engineer, and I can't believe how well this flapping thing flies.

Fantastic for both kids and adults. By far the best indoor flying toy made. Far better than any helicopter or prop powered plane. very easy to control both altitude and direction.

We actually got this for our oldest adult son for a stocking stuffer at our Christmas Eve party. It turned out that we should have bought more for our other adult children and grandchildren. He was able to control it after only a few minutes of practice and could hover it over our heads. It was like a big bug or bee flying around and brought laughter every time he flew it. We would definitely buy again!

Its durable, flies well and provides hours of fun. What more can you ask for? Just don't try flying it outside on a sunny day, the sunlight somehow jams the IR receiver and it goes out of control immediately after launch. Really easy to learn to fly, and really really durable! Highly recommended!!

First day:
Works very well. Hilarious to watch and operate. Behaves much like a large moth - and a 4 year old can sort of manage it. Well done toy. I would add that it's quite dainty... not for a brute child.

This is a great toy. I bought my second one for my 7 year old nephew. He can't get enough of it! It is great for hand eye coordination and I'm shocked how well it works. It quickly charges and is fine for indoor use. Cat and dogs love looking at it wings flap and can barely hurt anything. It is also shocking how delicate it appears but how durable it actually is. It lasted for 5 months before I needed to purchase a second one. I highly recommend it.

We bought this because of reviews were quite good and we have seen other similar products that are a lot of fun, but this is not that much! it flies well, which was a surprise, but controlling it is not easy. it tends to hit a wall and then flap down it. If you have a small house with small rooms I would NOT recommend this product! If you have high ceilings and big rooms, why not!

i'm a small/indoor flying enthusiast. i've tried just about every flying toy that Air Hogs has put out, as well as others (from the $30 Piloto to the $300 Carbon Butterfly), not to mention several RC ornithopters (wing-flappers) like the Dragonfly and Vamp.

this is EASILY one of the best flyers from Air Hogs, second maybe to the Cyclone Havoc (the manta-shaped lifting body, not the helicopter) and possibly the best toy-grade ornithopter, too.

mine flew perfectly right out of the box. it's slow and controllable, able to fly in a 10x10 room easily. it does not seem to have as much interference issues with other Air Hogs or Silverlit infra-red (IR) flyers.

this is the first ornithopter i'd recommend for a child younger than 8-10. it doesn't take as much skill or patience as the other wing-flappers, nor does it need as much room. it'd make an ideal first flyer, too.

it's light enough that it'll bounce off anything without breaking, but the mylar wings may tear easily and it didn't come with replacements. like other toys like this, the foam is hard to break, and when it does it can be easily re-glued, or even taped.

it uses the same controller as the Palm-Z/NanoHawk and Cyclone. not the best, but they work.

in short, great toy! i myself don't like the "robot" look much, but your kid may disagree. XD

Every one who gets a turn with this winged wonder ends up 'hogging' all the indoor airspace in our living room!

"Addictive" is too weak an adjective to describe this toy. Now I know how John Travolta feels flying for Qantas airlines. Ok, NOT. But hey, it's nice for us grounded newbs to be able to fly 'something', and this toy is a breeze to master!

Found out it does not like the outdoors at all! Strictly indoors but that's fine by me. Something to do with the walls reflecting the IR pulses which, of course are absent outside.

You'll have this little dragonfly wannabe flying right back to your hand nearly at will after only minutes of play, which is, in a word...

InterruptingCheeserific!

Got mine on clearance at Gordman's for $6.50, but knowing what I know NOW, I'd have paid 3 times that!

This is one tough little flyer too, as our family dog, Sparky, couldn't overcome his instinct to pounce on this thing and by the time we got it away from him, we were sure it was a goner, but it is one bionic little booger! Still flying great after hours of flight time!

I would have given this item 7 stars, but it doesn't have an onboard night vision telephoto camera and GPS 'go to' telemetry capability.

Well, that and I couldn't afford to hire some overseas hacker to worm into Amazon and let me put that many stars up.

lol?

My son who is 10 years old told me about this product. I ordered it for him for Christmas and he was estatic about receiving it. He loves this remote control flying man/bird. It's really cool how it flaps it's wing and flies around the house. It's made out of styrofaom so I didn't worry about him hitting anyone with it. I totally recommend this toy to any child. My husband and I love it too. Nephews bday is coming up, i was thinking about purchasing another one.
