The Air Hogs Helicopter - What You Need to Know!

The Air Hogs Helicopter - What You Need to Know!

Rc Helicopter

My Air hogs helicopter Office Scramble!

Not being a morning person, my morning traffic scowl was put to the test recently when, upon arriving at the office, I found the whole staff scrambling around, some cowering under tables, and some just plainly enjoying themselves - chasing what seemed to be a large buzzing blue bug with bright colors and a flashing LED light!

Turns out our techie had brought in an air hogs helicopter, an indoor electric micro RC helicopter from SpinMaster. If you're not familiar with air hogs toys, you're in for a huge treat. This toy is probably the World's smallest remote controlled helicopter, similar to the Picco Z chopper, and fits into the palm of your hand, comes in super funky colors and ideal for indoor flight only.

In case you're thinking well, indoors only, it may get lost among the furniture etc... that's not the case, the air hogs helicopter comes standard with a flashing LED light that you can use for location purposes, and they also buzz, more like a large insect or bug.

The toy our techie had was an iridescent blue, slim line with dragonfly-like eyes with dragonfly wings to match.

As bothered as I was, let's face it, I love my morning scowl thank you very much; I couldn't help noticing just how nimble this machine was, it could literally fly in any direction, land on almost any surface and take off in like manner.

On closer investigation, I discovered that air hogs helicopters are made for ages 12 and up but honestly, any intelligent 5 year old can handle this bad boy with ease and glee, truth be told!

Whilst my morning rituals the moment I hit the office involve sipping the bitter coffee brew from the coffee maker before addressing the office, this morning was different and, with the remote control I'd wrestled from the manic depressive tech in my hand, I too became a Nims Island iguana that morning, running in all directions, dive bombing the temps and putting Gracey, our office Golden retriever, into cardiac arrest!

At first hand, I was kinda apprehensive attempting to fly such a tiny object around the office and into solid walls etc. I mean, air hogs toys measure just over 6 inches in length! However, these toys are really durable; they can take a lot of wall crashes or fall from the ceiling onto the floor and they're good to go again and again.

I was able to fly this toy as high as 10 feet within the warehouse, much to the amazement of Juan, our forklift operator, who swears by his ancestors to get a few for his brood, and he has a few!

These toys, especially the helicopters, are really fun toys for the whole family or, as in my case, the whole office.

The biggest drawback I got was, Air Hogs toys can be pretty addictive and, with Corporate breathing down my neck, I may as well kiss the bonus check goodbye, considering all the time spent monkeying around with this snazzy toy!

Time to undertake an employment performance evaluation on the techie responsible for this toy; someone needs to tell him how unproductive air hogs toys are!
