RE: My son said it is not cool!
I saw that thing, yeah it does look pretty clunky. Seems like it will do both flight profiles, but neither well. Air Hogs better come up with some better, multiple channel proportional stuff with gyros, or they risk being a "has been." The price gap between quality E flite stuff and the Air Hogs is gradually starting to close with the newer micro models. Heck, they have some pretty good Chinese coaxial helis at the mall for $40. Basinbum, lol, you're right about the flying fields! Seriously, what does the average teenager have in common with most people there? My AMA magazine came in a few months ago, my wife was telling me about it over the phone and says, "Your toy plane magazine came in today, I actually looked through it once because I was bored." I said, "Oh yeah? Anything interesting?" She says, "No, just a bunch of geeks!" Pretty much sums it up.
