The Havoc Helicopter is the type of toy that we all yearned for as kids. Despite being in our late twenties, my friends and I love these things. Amongst Air Hogs current line up of R/C planes and helicopters sits this small, ten gram, Styrofoam gem. It’s loads of fun and ready to fly out of the box for the nominal price of $30. Read more »

Air Hogs

Posted in The Random and Fun with tags , , , , on March 6, 2008 by generaleclectic

For those who are not familiar air hogs is a company (www.airhogs.com) that makes small radio controlled toys and Spin Master is the parent company (www.spinmaster.com) of air hogs. Stores like Target and Toys R Us sell them under the name air hogs. Most of their offerings are planes and helicopters but there are a few other types mixed in.

They are alot of fun for a $30-$60 price tag. I currently own three planes and one helicopter.  Everyone I know, regardless of age, who has gotten their hands on one has had tons of fun.
