Hi there! If you're like my family, you've probably been through a few r/c helicopters. Those helicopters boast stability and ease in flying, yet you get them and the only thing they meet is the ground. There is no soaring or speeding through the air with grace. No, you get about six feet off of the ground and pick up enough speed to break off a rotor or smash the whole thing into pieces. Way to ruin Christmas, toy companies, your helicopters are terrible. Ahhh -- the Air Hogs company got smart and decided to build something that actually flies. The best part is, it flies easily. Easily enough for a beginner to handle it, or for a parent who has never flown an r/c helicopter. I think what I like the most about this quad copter is that it draws in kids in at younger ages and teaches them the ropes. The r/c hobby is a fantastic hobby for a few reasons. Firstly, it draws kids into a new interest that requires them to learn and be creative. Next, it gives parents an activity to enjoy with their children. Lastly, it teaches children that possibilities are endless. These r/c craft are a gateway into programming and design, hobbies and activities like this will broaden the horizons of our youth. Instead of setting parameters in which they must remain, we need to let them spread their wings and soar. | This is an excellent choice for kids who are into the r/c hobby, but aren't quite ready to build and maintain their own homemade quad copter. If you're interested in a video on these, Flite Test (youtube.com/flitetest) has a fantastic video about these. This is what prompted us to buy it for one of our kids. It surprised me how stable it was in comparison to many of the other Air Hogs air craft. When my (at the time) 6 year old flew it, he seemed to gracefully fly it around with little direction. The best part is that these are foam and plastic, they will be ok to fly in *some* indoor settings. The link to the Air Hogs X4 Stunt Quad Copter is below. The list price right now is $60.99, which is the lowest price for this particular one. It is also available in red, but at a higher price. There is also a battery mod that works with this quad copter including recharging LiPo batteries.
