Air Hogs mini Storm Launcher
This is the review that I just read about the Mini Storm Launcher:
Insane all-terrain action is guaranteed with the Air Hogs mini Storm Launcher radio-controlled vehicle. It takes to the air from land or sea with equal ease, and offers exhilarating high speed on any terrain. With twin motors for precise control, this is the meanest, most fun flier in the skies. It'll perform wild jumps and amazing stunts, plus it loops and banks — even upside-down!
Air Hogs R/C Mini Storm Launcher:
- Full function R/C flyer
- Durable foam construction
- Dual propeller motors
- Takes off from land or water
- Up to 3 flights on a single charge
- Range: 300 feet (91 meters)
- Frequency: 27.045 MHz
- Comes with a high power Lipo battery
- Additional batteries required for remote
There are a couple problems with that, the first is that the mini Storm that I have is about 12 inches long and about 9.5 inches wide.
There is a larger Mini Storm around 20 inches that does run on water, but the one I bought does not work on water.
The props are not mounted high enough and the water will hit the propellers and then the battery shorts out after a couple seconds.
So even though the thing looks like a boat, you can't use it on water. |
