Cute set4
This is a cute train set and my son likes putting the pieces together. My son just got this for his 2nd birthday and likes playing with it. At 2 though he doesn't quite have the skill yet to keep the train on the track all the time and gets frustrated by this. I think an older child would have better control, thus not an issue. He's able to put the track together so that is a plus.

thomas the tank enginge/duplo lego4
Children just turning 2 will have to have help with this toy, but as they learn to put things together, they will be able to use their imaginations and combine this with other lego toys to make whatever they like.

wonderful fun!!5
This is the most wonderful thing ever!! My 2 yr old son just adores it, he sits and plays with it for hours.. He doesn't yet grasp how to put the pieces(i.e. train. station, etc.) but he loves taking the track apart and putting it back together!! And that is very good since my 1 yr old daughter doesn't think it belongs together! He is putting it back together as fast as she is breaking it! (very durable as well!) After reading some other reviews I thought there was goingo tbe virtually no track to play on, but there was much more thenm I was expecting! It is a great toy and we all love it!

Fragile and weak plastic structure1
Out of the box and ready to fly? If you like going in one direction. It is adjustable but there is another trick that cost you more time. Any impact against the rear rotor and the mainshaft will snap right after the bolt assembly. This was a mistake from the beginning. I now buy pre tested from the Factory helicopters with aluminum frames and landing pads. It is well worth spending an additional [...] dollars to have a quality helicopter that flies correctly right out of the box.

This is a training chopper4
This chopper is higher quality than expected. However you really cant steer it but it is great for getting the basics down. It can go up really high, but other than that its all about keeping it stable. You really cant expect alot for under $[...]. if you want one you can steer make sure its at least 4 channel device. this is my third chopper, and this one is the best for the price, the others were steerable, but 2 times the price at least. This is also a outdoor chopper, and will not work in wind. I rate it high because of its construction, and power, it is a great traning tool to teach you how to keep a chopper stable instead of spending a couple hundred on a chopper and breaking it.

It is only 40 bucks but......4
Can't beat it for 40 bucks...3 hrs of charge for abotu 7 min. Goes up and thats about it. Ive crashed it alot but still goes. I do have alot of fun with it, but there is no REAL control, you basically just play keep up and try to not crash it.

An Nice Piece For The Bat-Fan Of The '60s4
Although this Hot Wheels diecast is nowhere near as accurate as it's companion piece, the 1:50 scale 1966 TV Batmobile, it's still a nice little replica. Informed sources claim that it's based on the old 60's Aurora model kit, scaled down, and a visual comparison of the two does show several matching details.

To be truthful, the toy should more accurately be described as 1:30 scale, as it is larger in comparison to the Batmobile than an actual 1:50 scale toy would be, but if it was in scale to the car, it would be tiny.

While some shapes and proportions are a bit off, it's still a nice looking piece that represents the bike seen in the 1966 movie, and most of the television series, pretty well ( this design was actually the second used - in an early episode there was a far more generic looking cycle, used only once ).

Robin's sidecar go-kart is included and is held in the package by a piece of monofilament, but have no fear; once the filament is removed, the kart can be secured in place in the sidecar on a small post.

Despite it's size, this is more of a display item for the adult collector, rather than a toy for a modern child. While the bike and go-kart do roll, the steering is fixed, and a child would probably be less than enthused about playing with it (especially since there are no accompanying figures of Batman and Robin.

Still for the adult Batman fan, it's a nice little replica that will look very attractive sitting on a shelf or desk.

My 10 yr. old son is a huge fan! You can't go wrong with Bionicles-very interesting and imaginitive play.5
My son absolutely loves Bionicles! This was for his 10th birthday and he has been "hooked" on them for at least 2 years, so it has not been a short lived fad. Yes, they look a little creepy, but when you understand the story line and the character, it's not so creepy anymore! I'm a Christian parent who does watch out for those toys and characters that seem demonic but I have not found these toys to be a concern.

Great Purchase5
My 5 year old son has recently become enthralled with Bionicles. This particular purchase was just the right incentive for him. He was able to put most of it together himself. The little ship this bionicle rides on was a bit harder and he asked for help with that, but I was pleased at how his excitement for this toy helps him figure out the instructions and accurately build things. Of course, it does come apart, but for my son that is part of the fun. He likes to switch the weapons and masks around and has a great time mixing the bionicles up. This is a toy I would buy again.

Great for what it is5
This kit is a great first step for people who want to start designing their first rockets without instructions. It's widely avialable for $40 online and has enough parts to put together about 5 rockets. If you look at what you get for $8 a rocket I think you'll find this kit is priced well. If you are truly an advanced rocket builder you will want to go another route, but this works well for starting designers.

Not what it once was2
There was a time when I was a kid when the Estes Designers Special was the scratchbuilders dream. Unfortunately, time has passed and things have changed, and the once sought after Special has become something of a junkmans special. Estes includes some cool items in the set, (mine had the transition for an Astron Avenger,) but for the most part they pack it with stuff that they're having trouble moving elsewhere. A grab bag would be a cool idea, but at this price I expect something better than a garbage skow.

Inspires Learning5
This is a great educational "toy." The book has so many models to build, each illustrating a different concept. The color coding of the parts and their durability and ease of use are brilliant. This set inspires my 10 year old son to build other inventions. Hours of focus and learning!

My son first started with the Snap Circuits Jr and now loves the Snap Circuits SC-300. Snap Circuits are far superior to other electronic kits. Color coding of parts and modular building on a platform make the Snap Circuits sets immediately accessible to the child (and even adults!) and allow independence right away! The book gives projects in increasing difficulty. Just an amazing set!

Educational and fun....what a parent likes5
My son loves it. He is in middle school, but this is his first exposure to electronics. I wished they had a little more explanation about certain components and what they do and what their purpose is. Luckily I was able to explain but not all parents will be.

Great Product5
I purchased this kit for my oldest son and he was excited with every project that he build. Now my youngest son is now asking me to purchase a kit for him. I strongly recommend this kit to any parent that wants their child to learn the basics of electricity.

Super Cub RTF Electric

Product Description

Anybody can have a good time flying the new Super Cub RTF. It comes right out of the box with everything you need included...even batteries for the transmitter. The Super Cub is equipped with 3-channel control that helps provide a true-scale flying experience. Throttle, steering and pitch controls allow you to learn the basics of RC flight, safely and simply, while still having a great time flying. Meanwhile, the instantly recognizable scale Cub design makes you feel as though you're flying a full-size pleasure plane. In addition, the Super Cub comes with all of the features you expect from HobbyZone, including X-Port expandability. Its durable Z-foam construction makes the Super Cub incredibly strong and easy to repair, and its unique trim scheme makes it look great in the sky and in your hands.

HobbyZone’s Innovative Anti-Crash Technology

The latest breakthrough in RC flight, Anti-Crash Technology™ (ACT) makes teaching yourself to fly easier and safer than ever before. With ACT, anyone can fly.

Here’s how it works:

Two sensors on the Super Cub.,one on the top and one on the bottom of the fuselage, monitor the position of the plane in relation to the ground. When the plane is flying level, the top sensor sees the sky, while the bottom sees the ground, and they tell the onboard computer that the plane is flying correctly. If the plane enters a dive and the sensors detect that the plane’s orientation is incorrect, the system will automatically correct the control inputs and help prevent the plane from crashing, allowing you time to regain control. ACT lets you fly without worry. And once you’ve gained experience with your Super Cub, you can turn ACT off for more complete control and increased maneuverability.

Product Details

  • Brand: Hobbyzone
  • Model: HBZ7100
  • Dimensions: 4.90" h x 15.40" w x 49.50" l, 6.35 pounds

Features

  • Realistic scale features in a teach-yourself-to-fly plane
  • Powerful 480-motor offers great climb rate and power
  • 3-channel radio system
  • Steerable tail wheel for easy turns on the ground and controlled takeoffs and landings
  • Two transmitter-selectable flight modes, ACT "on" or "off"








Customer Reviews

Great beginner radio controlled plane4
As noted by all the other reviewers, the Super Cub is a great plane for beginners and novices. It's durable and has a large 480 size electric motor and propeller. See the other reviews for all the details.
It doesn't include the newer technology brushless motor or Li-Po battery though.

What no one mentioned however is that anyone thinking this kit contains EVERYTHING a beginner needs to "teach yourself to fly" is in for considerable frustration and expense. The included manual gives only rudimentary flying instructions and the CD is basically good just for preparing the plane for flight. Without the help of someone experienced in flying a radio controlled plane, it is virtually impossible for a novice to fly any R/C plane without subsequent crashes and even possible complete loss of the plane.
Successfully flying this or any R/C plane requires significant training, skill, and quick reflexes as well as considerable open space (something like 20 acres or more), smooth takeoff runway (we're talking golf green or better), and decent landing area. In some ways learning to fly an R/C is more difficult than a real airplane since your view is third person, outside, and the plane's movements can be very quick and erratic.
Thinking a 12 year old can just be let loose with this kit and somehow learn to fly is naive at best. The promotional material with this kit is just not accurate.

With those precautions in mind, beginners can have realistic expectations as well as a lot of fun with this Super Cub learning to fly.

Best Trainer, PERIOD.5
If you are thinking about getting a trainer. Get this one. It's the best! Nearly indestructible, super easy and cheap to fix, fun to fly, big in size and fun too!

Within an hour I was doing loops and touch and gos. The anti-crash technology really does work, you just need enough altitude for it to have time to do it's job. It saved me many times. The control surfaces can be adjusted for more aggressive handling and tricks. It looks and sounds goods flying too. It takes off from smooth surfaces nicely and solo hand launches are very easy and risk free. It climbs well, and glides nicely too.

The plane itself does incredibly well with all kinds of terrible landings, crash landings and roll overs. The body and wings easily survived a hard nose dive into the ground! I flew it hard into a big evergreen tree, with the motor running full bore as it chopped it's way down to the ground, and it was fine except the motor. You can beat the heck out of this plane and keep it in the air for minimal repair costs. However, the motor does not do well hitting things hard and will be damaged from a straight on impact objects. But as motors are only $10.50 and are easily replaced, it is not really a big deal. Keep a spare one on hand. A new motor is like two Starbucks mochas, and the motor will last longer and bring more fun than the mochas! All parts for this plane are super cheap, available at my local store or on line and easy to swap out. This is perhaps the best part. You can wreck it time and again and won't have to pay a lot to restore it to flying condition.

It's made of foam which you might think is cheap. But the truth is that this is the best material for a trainer. It is strong and will easily tolerate abuse that balsa plains would disintegrate from. Why destroy all your hard work when you can learn to fly relaxed knowing a bad crash is easily recovered from for $10 to $30. Many crashes will result in no damage at all - it just depends on what part hit what surface. The motor is the most fragile part in my experience.

For $160, it's a great value.

What else to get with it? You'll probably want a total of 3 batteries and two 12v chargers so that you can fly without having to stop flying waiting for charges to finish up. Fly one battery and be charging two at the same time. Buy a few spare props, motor and cowl as you'll certainly damage them if you're new at this. I would also put bigger wheels on it so it can roll on rough grass surfaces without nosing into the grass.

The Super Cub is a five star plane, and I'm a picky guy who's demanding. If I am satisfied, it means it is really good!

Best 5
Great RC airplane. I had no previous experience and flew it with 10 mph wind the second day until battery ran out. If inexperience like me buy extra propellers.

Customer Reviews

5-yr old son loves this!4
My 5-yr old loves this boat! He and his dad have a lot of fun using it at a pretty big pond at one of our village parks. The only down-side is the actual amount of time it can be used on one charge (about 10-15 minutes). I think this was mentioned by another reviewer, so it was nice to at least know this ahead of time.

Fast is an understatement!4
This boat is fast! I purchased it for my 9 year old son for Christmas and he loves it. The boat is extremely fast, with nice sharp turns, responds to the controller immediately. Highly recommend this RC boat. Durable too, as one time the propellers got caught in some plastic netting, we got it free and nothing was broken or damaged. Seller is excellent to deal with. Only negative on this boat: the battery. Battery loses charge each time you use it and it only gives you about 30 minutes play time before it runs low.

Fun Little Boat4
This is a very fun, fast little boat. I am enjoying it very much. Easy to put together (battery pack, install the antenna mast (a plastic tube), and screw in the antenna on the sending unit.) It goes fast and is easy to control.

Controls are very simple, really just two switches: left engine one/off and right engine on/off. The control box has: go, forward on the left control and right or left turn on the right control. The left control switches both engine to full on (no throttle control, just full-on/off) and the right control shuts off one engine or the other (left or right), to turn. It turns quite tightly (without a rudder.) But by "pulsing" the left or right control, you can make the boat execute broader turns. It gets up and planes almost instantly. It's quite fast. At the beginning of a full charge, it might be doing the advertised 25 mph. 15 mph is more like it most the time.

The good: Price! Runs well, easy to use, seems to have good RF range, fast, tough hull, ships very little water. Be sure to pour out the water and leave it open to dry out between runs.

The negative: Short battery life. I'd guess I'm getting 15 minutes of operation with a full charge. It takes about 5 hours to charge. I have been looking for spare battery packs and couldn't find any. I ended up buying parts and I will be making my own battery packs (try BatterySpace.com and Radical RC online.) Runs on a set of 6 standard "Sub C" cells, wired in series, with a shrink wrap around it and a connector used for Tamiya RC cars. The RC hand unit requires 8 AA cells.

This is the best Estes5
Yesterday was a sad day. A rocket eating tree took my Estes Big Daddy and would not give it back. This has always been one of my favorite rockets, which is why I am here ordering another one. This rocket flies well and is truly exciting to launch. As a second or third kit project, this is the one to get when you are ready to move up to something a little bigger. (I do NOT recommend the Executioner, Estes' other big rocket, as it is a little too much rocket for the recommended Estes engines, and tends to fly like a drunken pig. Of course, that is just my opinion, your mileage may vary.)

Now for a cool modification ... if you REALLY want to turn heads at the next club launch, get the Aerotech RMS 24/40 hobby line reloadable hardware. Then, load it with an E18-4. There are two changes you MUST make to the rocket for this to work well. First, add 20 grams of weight to the tip of the nose cone (epoxy and ball bearings work well). Second, you can't use the Estes paper wadding. Get yourself a Nomex flame protector or something similar. It is important to note that once you make these changes, you can NOT go back to Estes engines ... the rocket is now too heavy for them.

This is what I was flying when the tree got my Big Daddy. And I have to tell you, even the old hands at the launch were going 'What the %&!# was that" when it took off.

Where Was This Beauty in 1966?4
Hot Wheels has done it again. This little 4 inch beauty captures the contours and details of the original Batmobile, not perfectly - but better than any other toy company has before.

There are a few inaccuracies. For example; the 'antennas' beside the central beacon flare out like wings rather than standing straight up and down as they should, and the 'rocket tubes' just ahead of the trunk on the car are severely shortened ( although I believe this was done for child safety reasons ). Also the bat emblems on the doors are out of scale, and the gold cross shaped 'laser/radar antenna' on the hood is a little big. But considering all the details they got right ( down to the tiny "Batphone" in the cockpit ), and the fact that the overall shape is spot on, I can live with the minor flaws.

This toy, along with the 1:50 scale Batcycle, and the fantastic 1:18 scale Batmobile - all from Hot Wheels - are a '60's Batman fan's dream come true.

Customer Reviews

Great for electronics work5
I have used this product for 5+ years and owned my own for 2+ and have not had any problems with it. It works great for holding anything from XLR's to 1/4" jacks to circuit boards that I'm drilling/soldering. It clamps fine, even after years of use and is adjustable to almost any angle. If you are soldering on it, you want to be careful not to touch the iron directly to the jaws for too long since they are a type of plastic, but it has no problem holding 1/4" jacks that are 200+ degF. I would recommend this for anyone doing work on cables or small circuit boards.
