Air Hogs Air Hog Helicoptor Review

This was a christmas gift last year for an 8 year old boy. We saw them on the commercials and they looked neat and easy to use. Needless to say I did not research these first. The until was difficult to put together and although says you can fly it inside (we have two story tall ceilings in our front two rooms that are quite large) I would recommend using it outside. Once we got it figured out and got it to FINALLY fly it ran right into something because we had little to no control with the remote control. It was damaged from the first hit. So we took it outside and could never get it to 'do what we wanted'. Granted it do go air born but we could never truly fly the unit. Of course the 8 year old got frustrated quickly and went onto better things. Finally we pulled it out to try it again and the batteries were dead. Not an item I would recommend, we ended up throwing it away. We will not be puchasing an Air Hog item again.
