Ultra Micro T-28 Trojan BNF Review

Ultra Micro T-28 Trojan BNF
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a real winner. I would recommend this over the micro P-51 for someone who is a beginner or who is just moving up from a three channel plane like the J-3 or Champ. I love my bigger T-28D and the micro is just as good if not better. I think after a flight or two on the reduced rates, even a beginner would find faster and more responsive controller settings a bit easier especially when doing rolls. On slower rates rolls go so slowly the plane tends to lose more altitude than usual in the process. With full rates and some positive aileron expo on my DX6i, the plane flies like a dream. My favorite part is that it takes off in a really straight line, which makes take-offs easier than with my micro P-51 or micro J-3. The Micro T-28 also lands very smoothly and easily as long as you leave some throttle on all the way to the ground. The plane flies inverted better than any of my others. It also flies very nicely at slow speeds. I did have to cut out a bit of the foam from the box so that it would fit back in with the landing gear in place but this only took a minute. This is clearly going to be my new favorite micro, and is going to get a lot of use! What a great plane, especially for a beginning or intermediate pilot. My last three Horizon purchases, the 120SR, 4F4 Wildcat, and this Micro T-28 have all been outstanding products.

This exciting Ultra Micro Series edition of ParkZone’s wildly popular T-28 Trojan is a must have for any intermediate to experienced pilot. Like the original, it has plenty of performance for sport aerobatics but remains a joy to ­y at slower speeds if you want to throttle back and shoot touch and gos. And, like the original, it boasts remarkably scale lines and a great looking U.S. Navy trim scheme. Best of all, this one is small enough to ­y in your backyard.
Also available in a Ready-To-Fly version.

Air Hogs V. Wing Avenger - Colors May Vary
I've flown RC models and other flying toys for 40 years. This is the best flying flapper (off the shelf) that I've ever flown or seen. It works straight out of the box. It is easy for anyone to fly. It flies in the house. It drives cats crazy. It is safe and resilient to bouncing into stuff. It is the best price performer in the flying toy category I've seen. I bought 40 of these at Christmas for needy kids that wouldn't have gotten a present otherwise, and I'm glad I did. It is more fun and works better than I could have expected.
PS, I'm an aerospace engineer, and I can't believe how well this flapping thing flies.

Preparing to Fly Load up the 4 AA batteries in the controller, plug the avenger right in, and charge it up. You're ready to go, just like that! Testing I'm not going to beat around the bush on this one. The V-Wing Avenger flies AMAZINGLY well! It is completely and utterly stunning. It flies very stable and very slow, and is extremely easy to control, while being very responsive. The wings flap very fast, so it's more like a large, slow moth than a bird. It's not like a weak, frail moth, though, but a strong & confident one. If you get too low and want to gain altitude quickly, max out the throttle and it climes very rapidly with an explosive burst of speed and lift. It's impressive to watch, and even more so to control

The kite kept wanting to make a right turn into the ground. Tried adjusting the bridle loop and streamers and still same results. Wind speed may have been greater than 15 mph stated on package. It is made really well. If it would fly it would be great!

Sababa / Front Porch Bookshelf Sortie Board Game Review

Sababa / Front Porch Bookshelf Sortie Board Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've just spent an enjoyable weekend at my friends' house, and we played this game about a dozen times. I'm hooked! We played with as few as two players (though the game recommends a minimum of three) and as many as five players, and it was always fun and balanced. The players varied in sex and age: boys and girls both, from five to forty-five. Everyone had a great time!
Each game lasts from ten minutes to thirty minutes, and the game permits a wide ragne of styles from aggressive to defensive. When you've mastered the strategy of the basic game, you can make it harder by choosing particular planes play with (actualy historical WWII fighters), each one adding individual special abilities. Not only does that provide you with an advantage, but if forces you to think about your opponent's advantages.
Game play is a mixture of strategy and guesswork. There are no dice, so there's no random chance, but you don't know which maneuver cards your opponents have, and how they'll move. You're forced to make guesses about what's most likely. That adds quite a fun mix to the challenge of forumulating your own strategy given the maneuver cards you've drawn.
I also like the high quality of the game board, game pieces, and cards. The instruction manual was well written, too, and it didn't take very long at all to figure out how to play.
All in all, an absolutely fantastic game! Highly recommended!

Hands down, Front Porch games are quality. Wooden boxes, metal pieces, well thought out and fun to play for the entire family. It's great to be able to sit down and play a game with my grandsons and feel challenged as well. This is one of four Front Porch games I own, and a favorite with all the boys.

Air Hogs Red Acro Jet Review

Air Hogs Red Acro Jet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Acro Jet is made by Silverlit (silverlit-flyingclub dot com), so I expected it to be really good. It's NOT! I have three and each has different flying characteristics, but all bad, severe porpoising (uncontrollable up-down jumping), death spiral, etc. etc. Tried lots of things to improve it (weight on nose to change center of gravity, cutting front wing canards to different lengths, etc.), nothing made them worth flying. Stay away from this one. Get the Jet Set instead; see my review of the orange one.

My son and I enjoyed putting this Pontoon together and it has been well used since assembly. The only minor drawback is that the tail wing does not stay in place very well and falls out very easily.

Best-Lock 750pc Garage and Vehicles Review

My son owns Lego's and these are nothing at all like Lego's. They will work with Lego's. The quality is very poor and the pieces will not fit together all of the time. Some pieces will have excess flashing still on them. Some of the pieces are warped and unusable. Some of the directions are color illustrated, some are not. I had to throw several pieces away as they would never work. That being said, I ended up with a large amount of pieces that did work properly. Although I wasn't able to complete what was illustrated, it made my Lego collection much larger for a very low price. Some of the pieces in these sets are not in normal Lego pieces, but work with them. Thus, giving you a unique piece. All said and done I am happy about my purchase. I got these when they were 70 percent off. 'A+' for Amazon's shipping and handling as always!
