Air Hogs Room Raider
This toy can be made into a HOT indoor and outdoor performer by reading the corrective modifications posted on these links:

And you can watch some Hong Kong kids playing with the unmodded version outside. I have a video that I can share only privately and confidentially (I don't work for Air Hogs/Spin Master!) showing the simply-corrected version (i.e. original design) flying indoors in an UNDER 1.2 m / 4 ft DIAMETER circle. AND, of course, also fly STRAIGHT at the lowest power level! The toy can be retrimmed (w/ removeable tab as described in threads, for ex.) to fly straight under full power (increasing left turn with reduced power) OUTSIDE and thus outclimb and outmaneuver the AA/X-Twins (power/wt ratio is greater than 1:1!):

RE: Air Hogs Room Raider
Note that the central narrow equilateral triangle pointing exactly down represents the portion to be gently curved LEFT using heat from a bread toaster or hairdrier .... after being removed from plane! Then reattach with base aligned exactly STRAIGHT.
BLUE line at top of tip represents left-turned tip portion, with gentle CURVE in central triangle, and rear triangular section FLAT and now turned slightly LEFT.
