Best Toys

The Air Hogs Company has come up with some amazing toys during their 10 years of existence. This one is just their newest endeavor and is another great design. It is available in a yellow and black model and a red and gray model. It is a morphing flying machine that takes off vertically and can hover like a UFO. Then with the press of the Morph button on the remote it changes in the air and then is able to be flown like a jet. To get this plane in the air you can use the launcher that is included or you can use your hands. It can be flown in either mode alone if you so choose. What more could a kid ask for but to have two toys in one!

This best toys 2009 choice is powered by batteries and includes a remote control, a plug in charger, a launcher, 4 extra propellers, an instruction booklet, and a built in LIPO battery. The LIPO battery is charged by plugging it in to the remote. This built in LIPO battery is used on the plane itself to help with power and performance since it is so lightweight. The remote uses 6 AA batteries which are not included. An on-off switch is located on the bottom of the plane. The plane can be morphed when not in motion by either using the button on the remote or by pushing a button located on the plane itself. A warning on the box states that this item should only be used outside. Recommended for children ages 8 and up it is made of indestructible foam that can take a beating. Until you get the hang of flying an Air Hogs Switchblade it may take a few headers into buildings, trees, fences, and the ground but it is a very durable toy and is able to take the abuse.

Air Hogs has always made unusual flying machines and this one is one of the best. After determining what space you are going to fly one of these top toys of 2009, maybe in your backyard, in a local park, or possibly at the local high school football field, you need to decide what motor configuration to use. The motor located on the wing is adjustable from hover to forward flight. Take your time to get use to the controls. Eventually you will get the hang of the controls and be able to maneuver this plane wherever you want it to go. With practice you will soon be flying, hovering, and landing with no problem. If you are landing properly there will be no need for the extra propellers that are included in the kit.

This amazing transforming stunt flier comes in a handy, reusable carrying case that is a great place to store your plane. The Air Hogs Switchblade has an attached handle. The plane has a wing span of 17 inches. It has a range of 300 feet and flies at a frequency of 27.045 MHZ.

The Air Hogs Switchblade with its ability to launch, hover, morph, and fly is two great toys in one. It is so much fun to fly you may want to get one for your child as well as one for yourself so you can share in the fun!
