I pass that store twice daily and go in there a few times. Inaddition to getting free items I have been getting stuff for our new to us home, my tools, cars, etc. I was llooking for a magnetic parts dish that was on sale and found myself faced with radio conntrol toys. They had a few planes, an rc drifter awd car and boat.

Granted the boat is something I would not play with, the planes were tempting. I had one of those wild hog chopter that just went up or down and spun in circles. I see they have planes with full functions and at a reasonible price before you factor in 20% off.

Anyone else take the plunge and buy one?I think one claimed a ten minute fly time on a single recharge.

I have a Yellow Bee
Link--->Yellow Bee
And a Venom Ozone
Link-->Venom Ozone

Both of them are very good for their price. :rocker
The Yellow Bee was super fun, until the wife ran it full speed into the ground. :shake It will not take alot of abuse, so pick up a couple of extra wing sets. And take some packing tape with you when you go out to fly it. It makes for a fast, easy fix. ^o)

The venom will take a bit more abuse. You can fly it indoors, but it is a little large. Take it outside and it is more fun. A slight breeze does not affect it too much, but I would not fly it in strong winds.

Look on Youtube, there are alot of videos of them on it. :thumb

With the prices at www.hobbyking.com being so cheap on high quality RC planes, I wouldn't buy anywhere else. As for helis, the Syma S107G which is on amazon for about $27 is a great buy. I crashed mine at least 100 times before it finally broke.

I am the one on the left.

I got the boat at HF, and I was disappointed. However, I did stick some bread on the back and took it out to the duck pond..., that WAS fun!
