Hawk Eye

From Air Hogs comes the amazing Hawk Eye:

As you can see, it has a one-of-a-kind design that allows it to move easily and steadily. With the Hawk Eye, you can take pictures and videos and upoad them straight to your computer! You can manuver it around and see what the Hawk Eye sees right from your computer. It's very similar to one of my recent posts, the Drone, but it costs less. The Hawk Eye goes for about $60.00-$100.00 depending on your store. I haven't got the chance to buy it yet because I still haven't sold my phone! But I might get one soon, so count on it!

Ipod Drone

Behold, the newest and hightest technology RC vehicle, the DRONE:

The Drone uses 4 copter blades to give it lift. After it takes off, you control it using your iTouch, iPad, or iPhone. The cool thing is, you don't even have to watch it. It has a camera built into it and you see what it sees on the screen of your device. It has a HUGE range and is super cool. You control it by tilting your device in the way that you want it to go. You can fly multiple Drones at a time which makes it perfect for mid-air battles. The copter protecter is removable, but it's recomended to stay on to ensure that the propellers are safe. I haven't bought one because I don't have an ipod touch, iphone, or ipad (which STINX) but the reviews are really good. They cost $299.00+ but they're definately worth the pay! Great for those people who have everything.

RC Super Powers

Here's something worth watching:

The thing I like about these guys is that they make all their planes and fly them. Another thing I like is that they crash alot :).  Now unfortunately, they don't sell planes, but they sell designs for their planes so you can make the planes that they fly! They're not very expensive, all you need is a little time to build with. Their designs go from about $10.00 to $13.00. If you want more videos and want to buy a design, go to rcsuperpowers.com. Enjoy!

Kopter Krazy

Okay, so the other day, I went to a really cool RC place called Kopter Krazy and I bought a couple things. The first thing I got was a micro helicopter, no bigger then the palm of my hand called a sky king or u-control and it only cost $20.00, but he gave me 5 bucks off (for reasons that I don't know) . I got the red model of course because who doesn't like red? I couldn't wait to get home and crack it open. I got home, opened it up and it came with the helicopter, 3 Chanel controller, built in headlights, and instructions booklet. I put in 6 double As into controller and started charging. It takes roughly 20 minutes to charge. I was surprised on how powerful it was. It went up, and down (when it hit the ceiling). I was being careless and crashed. I tried again with more success, but I had to adjust the trim because it was turning to strongly right and it worked fine after that.
          The next day, I woke up and started flying again, but with an epic crash, the outer covering smashed. I put it back together with time, but  the headlights weren't in quite properly, but it still worked. Later when I wanted to fly, it wouldn't even turn on. I put it on the charger and it started charging, but it still wouldn't turn on. I got online for support, but I couldn't find anything. I gave up the thing and went back there and my dad bought the droid of all micro helicopters called, the S107. It is BEAST!!! It can remain stationary in the air, it can go forward and backward, has a light that flashed from red to blue, and it emits a LOT of air, making it VERY powerful, I LOVE it! But unfortunately, I can't fly it without my dad's permission, but it is fun!
         If there is anyone who has a helicopter that they don't want, please leave a comment because I would LOVE it!
