5.0 out of 5 stars Great little toy-grade R/C ornithopter!!, March 5, 2010

This review is from: Duck Hunter EXTREME Indoor/Outdoor 2 Player Radio Control Infrared Duck Hunting Game (Toy)

I am an R/C plane nut and have been flying electrics for nearly 20 years now. In recent years companies like iFly have done a fantastic job of creating toy-grade R/C products that are actually quite impressive flyers. The Duck Hunter is no exception. The R/C duck and transmitter included with the Duck Hunter set are identical to the iFly Wasp, Vamp and Eagle. I have them all and they are all wonderful little flyers with fantastic range and 10+ minute flight times. These are all "ornithopters" which means they fly via wing-flapping, very impressive to watch in and of itself. Being two channel (throttle and directional control) and light, they don't do well in any wind, but on calm days you can fly them surprisingly high such that they are a dot in the sky (called "specked out" in the R/C hobby). They can also be flown indoors if you have a good-size living room or empty garage to fly in. It's not unusual to run into furniture, walls, the ceiling, people, etc. when flying indoors; but these little foam flyers are very robust and so light that they don't break nor harm any of your belongings in these collisions.

The Duck Hunter adds an interesting twist to the iFly formula with its infrared gun. The way the gun works is this- you have to cock the handle (similar to a shotgun) under the barrel and then point it at the duck and fire. If you "hit" the duck, the duck will momentarily pause its wing flapping and then resume. If you "hit" it two more times, then the wings lock and the duck glides harmlessly to the ground. Turn the duck power off and back on and you're ready to go again. Obviously this takes two people- one to fly the duck and the other to shoot the gun. In our case I fly while my 7-year-old son shoots and he LOVES it! Indoors it's pretty hard to miss with the gun as the infrared signal will bounce off of walls, etc. and hit the duck almost every time. Outdoors is a bit more challenging. While the duck will fly just fine in sunlight (the control is via radio frequency), the duck's sensor will not register hits from the gun in sunlight (unless it's flying really close) since the gun is infrared. But as long as you fly in the shade it works great, my son and I usually fly it in the shadow of our house in the backyard. Greater skill is required to hit the duck outdoors, the gun needs to be pointed right at it. So it's more of a challenge, and more rewarding when you finally do shoot it down.

If you don't have a "marksman" on hand, the duck is lots of fun to fly by itself!

All in all it's a great little setup and I highly recommend it!

My two sons love this Duck hunting game. The bird flies around effortlessly in, and out, of the house. One of my sons (13yrs) controls the duck and the other (14yrs) tries to shoot at it. Challenging and fun. I think it is best used with a lot of room for flying. Easy to control and my kids and their friends love playing with it! Durable so far, and you can get replacement wings in case of damage. All-in-all very cool!

This review is from: Duck Hunter EXTREME Indoor/Outdoor 2 Player Radio Control Infrared Duck Hunting Game (Toy)

I bought this for my boyfriend's birthday because I thought it'd be interesting. He LOVED it. It works EXCELLENT indoors, but outdoors it's weak. I suggest only buying this product if you have large indoor space. It's pretty easy to fly, easy to shoot, but you really do need 2 players. I gave a low rating on educational value because it's not an educational toy in the least, it's only for entertainment. The reason I said it's weak outdoors is because even the slightest breeze will make it fly off in a random direction. That being said, also don't have fans on in the house while you play with it.
