Tyco R/C Sky Force Review

I’ve been on this remote control vehicle kick recently. It started with the mini r/c helicopter, but those are hard to fly so I wanted something a little easier for when I don’t want to concentrate so much. So, I was thinking of getting an r/c airplane but they are expensive even for beginner models. Then I stumbled across these Tyco R/C Sky Force planes. They are essentially foam glides with little engines attached to them. I like them a lot. They are a little to big to fly indoors and they are very light so I can only fly them when there is no wind. However, they don’t take a lot of room to fly so the park around the corner from my house works great. There are only two controls which give it more power (or less) and turn. You toss them gently while giving a little power to take off and then they fly for about 10 minutes on a charge. For being made out of foam they are pretty well constructed. I crashed mine into trees and bushes multiple times with no ill effects. If you’re looking for a fun little toy to play around with but don’t want to spend a lot of money I’d recommend trying out something like this. No, you can’t do tricks or anything, but it is fun to just fly them around for a while.
