    Honestly, Airhogs are really cheap and break easily. Go to ebay and look up syma s107, you should be able to find one for $24 and they are as good as you can get for a mini helicopter.

    that's funny. Santa brought our 9 year old the exact same one. Make sure you wait 15 minutes before you plug the damn thing in to the USB for the download/charge. If not, you'll be sorry. After about 6 hours of practice, he's got it down pretty good. If I can figure out how, I'll post one of his videos. Once it's up and running, it's a great toy. The Hawk Eye was a cool $50 btw.

    What do you mean wait 15min? Mine doesnt charge right I guess? When you plug it in the green light is on steady but never flashes? Then when you fly it you have limited distance and if you hit pic/video button it just drops.

    Something sounds skrewie. Ours doesnt do that. Take it back to Wally World and get a new one. If you dont wait 15 minutes for the battery to cool off before charging it overheats the USB port and bad things happen to your PC.
