Page 3: Flying, Conclusion
Flying
Flying the Sky Rider isn't hard, it just takes some practice. Once you get the hang of using the throttle and turning, it becomes pretty enjoyable. There's always a learning curve with flying toys, but since the Sky Rider is durable, crashing isn't that big of an issue... And you WILL crash it. Landing is pretty interesting since you can actually just catch the bird out of the air or let it fall to the ground without a problem.
Mechanically, the bird is very sound. The movement is smooth and flight is good. It is a pretty big flying toy, so it must be used outside. That's a plus since it gets people to actually go outside.
Conclusion
It's nice to see when companies put out an enjoyable product and the Sky Rider 111 from Arctic Hobby is a good gift for someone that likes electronics. It's also a good way to get someone to get outside for a bit. Arctic makes some very interesting products and it is nice to know that the Sky Rider 111 works as intended. It is an excellent gift. Just make sure you can handle crashing during the learning curve. The price is about $35 and it falls inline with other products of this nature.
