Customer Reviews

Toy... But fun as heck!
This little RC plane/boat/vehicle is great!

Easy to control, even for a beginner as it has two control levels to make it more intuitive depending on your flight experience.

It goes on the land (short grass, asphalt, dirt, etc), water, and flies taking off from the previously listed media. If you just want to fly you can make your battery to last longer by hand launching it.

Very durable, other than these small issues:
- Propellers aren't that durable. However, you can buy replacement propeller sets from Spin Master (1-800-622-8339) for $2.95 + $1.95 s&h.
- Motor screws that hold the motors in their housing and the propeller guards to the housing come loose and could get lost easily (make sure to tighten them).
- Elevator (rear flap) is not made of the same foam as the rest of the Storm Launcher so it is less durable. If you do crash it, just super glue it back together and use thin packing tape to skin over the repair.

Overall, I give this little RC "toy" 4.5 out of 5 stars. Minus the half star for the propeller, motor screws, and elevator (rear flap) issues.

Storm Launcher
The remote conrol is very difficult to manuver and master. The blades break easy and are hard to change out. The toy is very fun and can do amazing things once you get the hang of it, but it takes a lot of practice. Hence, you need to know how to fix it before you can fly it well.

bought my second storm launcher
First off, the SL is not very durable. My first SL broke beyond repair. If you take the time to learn how to drive it and slowly make your way to full flight it will last much longer. If you don't learn the basics first and immediately try flying, your SL won't last long. It has a lot more power after taking the prop guards off so I hope you learn how to fly quickly. My skill level has improved to the point where I'm not worried about breaking the new one.
