Air Hog Blue Sky
As a kid I loved remote controlled anything; boats, cars, and even a submarine. Still at 20 years old, I still love them. The Blue Sky from Air Hogs quickly became my next obsession.
Nothing beats the exhiliration of being behind the controls of a speedy air plane. The Blue Sky is my first take at a remote control plane and I didn’t have much faith in my abilities to control it. Air Hogs made it incredibly easy to control the plane, with a little throttle and a light throw the plane takes off.
What could be better? The plane has a built in camera for spy missions! Okay, maybe not spy missions but it is definitely awesome to reviewing footage after you crash. I flew it in Central Park (anyone see me?!) and was quickly asked to stop. But not after I accidenlty flew it into a tree, a trailor and a water foutain.
Incredibly rugged, if I wasn’t able to break it no one can. After the flight was done, I took it home to watch the videos (coming soon!). For a $70 toy, the camera took some great still shots and even better video.
Overall it’s a great toy for the beginner or expert pilot. Well built to take any punishing crash landings, the plane is NOT controlled with an IR controller making the range between plane and controller large enough to have a great time. As with most Air Hogs planes, you can charge it in the field with the controller.
With some more practice I’ll be on the government’s most watched list. Or at least get some great footage of NYC from up top!
