Editorial Review

Put on your own air show with this radio-controlled stunt flyer from Air Hogs. Jet black, and rather stealthy-looking, the plane can reach heights of up to 100 feet and perform stunts such as 360-degree loops and sidewinders. It's built from a single piece of high-density EPP foam, which is stronger than either EPS or polystyrene, and outfitted with twin propellers made of durable plastic. The six-way radio control enables you to move the plane up, down, left, or right; thrust it forward; or land it. No assembly is required, and two spare propellers are included just in case. Required, and sold separately, are eight D batteries for the docking station and six AA batteries for the controller. The airplane charger doubles as a display stand. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Kids can transport up to six Hot Wheels cars in this 21-inch-longmilitary-style camouflage cargo plane. Made of sturdy plastic, the plane hasrear cargo doors that snap open, allowing kids to plunk in a few of their littlemetal cars. Then they can zoom the plane down the runway on its little plasticwheels and head for imaginary destinations. To unload cars, simply pop open thefront hatch, pull out the ramp, and let the cars slide out. The ramp tends tostick and the front cargo doors are difficult to shut, which could be apotential source of frustration for younger kids whose fine motor skills arestill developing. The plane has detachable engines, tail fin, and wings. Thewings, in fact, tend to pop off spontaneously during vigorous play, but they areeasy to reattach. Requires no batteries--just a good imagination. Hot Wheelscars are sold separately. --Elisabeth Fredrickson ... Read more

Not for boys under 5
We found this toy to break very easy. The doors, the ramp, the simulated engines, the tail - - all of it. In addition, the cars get stuck in the back of the plane when the ramp is open. Though categorized for ages 3 and above, I would not reccomend this toy to anyone who's child is under 5. It's enjoyment would be short lived as it was with my son.

A Zero for Durability!!
This toy looks fun, and for the one minute it was in one piece, my son really enjoyed it. As many other reviewers commented, it falls apart almost instantly. My dear 3 year old son really wants to play with it, so he incessantly brings it to me to put it back together. The front doors fall off, the wings come off, and even the engines on the wings come off easily.

I have finally stored it away. I will bring it back out when my son is old enough to put it back together by himself. Maybe at that time we will feel like we got our money's worth, since he really does enjoy the concept of the toy.

Also, only the flatter Hotwheels and Matchbox cars fit into it. All the fire trucks and similar size vehichles, if you can get them into it will get stuck. This toy requires a lot of parental repair, and/or extraction, i.e., about every 20 seconds. Plenty of frustration for us!

I do have to say, that so far, none of the pieces have actually broken off, they just pop off easily, so it is technically reparable, so far....

great toy for 5 and older
bought this toy for my son last year for x-mas. over the course of the year his mom misplaced it and its all he talks about that he wants from santa. Yes the wings come off with vigorous play (glue them on like i did) and the doors are a small problem (tape them with scotch tape so wouldnt open) he took the cars out the back and he loves this toy. Worth every dime i spent on it last year.

Do Not Buy This Toy!
I would gladly have paid a lot more for this plane if it were better made. My son loved the idea of the plane carrying his little cars, but the wings won't stay on, the nose won't stay shut and its doors fell off. It isn't even worth ten bucks and it's a shame.

This Toy is Junk!
The doors wont stay closed, the wing pops off easily. I spend more time fixing it than my son does playing with it. ... Read more

This is a good toy!
I like this helicopter alot! It's neat because it has a motor that runs on air. It flies straight up and then when it runs low on air, it lands very gently & doesn't break like some other airplanes that I've tried. I wish it wasn't made out of sterofoam though.I really have fun with this toy. ... Read more
