Amazon.com Review
Junior aviators will enjoy flying the Air Hogs Switchblade, a unique remote-control plane that hovers like a UFO and flies like a jet. Designed for ages ten and older, this marvel-of-the-skies transforms in midair with the push of a "morph" button that propels it forward from a hovering position with incredible velocity. Ideal for play in a neighborhood park or spacious backyard, kids can put on a show with this remote control plane.  | Switchblade Ages:10+
Requires: - 8 "AA" batteries (not included)
- Screwdriver for battery installation

The Switchblade can hover in mid-air and then transform to fly like a jet. View larger. | 
Plug the charge nozzle into the plane's charge port and the plane will be ready to fly in 30 minutes. View larger. | Prepare for Take-Off
With a 17-inch wingspan, durable polyfoam construction, and black-and-yellow designs, this remote-control plane can hover in mid-air and then transform to fly like a jet. The remote control features a throttle, direction toggle, trim knob, and "morph" button, making it easy for junior aviators to pilot the Switchblade from up to 300 feet (91 meters) away. Before take-off, adults should install the controller/charger's eight "AA" batteries (not included), then plug the charge nozzle into the plane's charge port. In approximately 30 minutes, a flashing green light on the controller, indicates the plane is ready. First-time pilots then adjust the controller's trim knob to make the plane hover, rather than spin. Take to the Skies like a UFO
The Switchblade is ideal for use in a neighborhood park or spacious backyard. Pilots can position the plane on the included launch base for take-off, or simply release it by hand. Arrows on the plane's body show what direction to rotate the plane's wings so that the propellers are facing opposite directions. When the trim is properly adjusted, the plane will ascend with ease. Fly with the Stealth of a Jet Plane
The plane's steady ascension is a marvel to watch, but it hardly compares to the sudden midair transformation that takes place at the touch of the "morph" button. Instantly, the plane shoots forward with remarkable speed. From there, it's up to you to steer it safely. The Switchblade should be piloted over grassy areas in temperatures of 45 degrees Fahrenheit or above for safe flying and optimal performance. In the event of an accidental air collision or landing mishap, a piece of tape is usually sufficient for repair. The plane also comes with four replacement propellers which should be installed with adult supervision. What's in the Box
Switchblade remote-control plane (Black & Yellow), controller/charger, controller antenna, launch base, wind speed/direction ribbon, four spare propellers, and instruction manual.

 It's a fixer uper, but when all is said and done, it flies great. July 28, 2010
T. Weiler (usa)
I bought this Switchblade at a Target on Clearance. I quickly discovered why. It was a HORRIBLE flyer out of the box. After tossing around some ideas, I decided to do some research, and I found my problem on RC Fourms. The soldered wire on the motors of the plane had broken off. After fixing one motor, I took it out and it flew EXPERTLY...untill a heavy crash knocked out the other motor wire. Fixed that up and now I'm waiting for conditions to be optimal for another flight. I see it's potential, and it's very high. If it's on sale for less than thirty dollars and you have a soldering iorn, go for it, BUY IT and fix it up. I promise, you won't be dissapointed.
