Storm Launcher
Revolutionary R/C Storm Launcher is an all in one car, plane and boat!
You'd be wrong by mistaking the Air Hogs Storm Launcher for your typical run of the mill radio controlled boat, when infact this revolutionary R/C Storm Launcher is a mix between a boat, a plane and a hover craft!
When I first whitnessed the Storm Launcher in action I thought "So whats so good about it? it's a radio controlled boat?!"; that was up until the point where it's driver drove it up the pond bank, over a plane of grass then into the air to perform a loop the loop before smoothly landing his Storm Launcher back in the pond.
The Storm Launcher Remote Controlled Boat and Plane scoots around on the water surface like a boat and at your command can take off and fly - and boy can it fly!
The Storm Launcher can go also fly vertically up into the air at an amazing speed and can twist and turn in all directions!
This all in one boat/plane/car is a true James Bond mean machine and is capable of 3D flight such as hovering like a harrier, and is also capable of cruising around quite happily at all sorts of speeds, performing loops and rolls with ease.
If your into crazy Radio Controlled cars, planes and god knows what else then it might be worth checking out the gravity defying Zero Gravity Wall Climber R/C jeep car which can scale walls!

crap
I bought this for my son who is ten and it lasted for two drives. the battery lasted only about ten to fifteen minutes. It totally fell apart. He didn't even get to drive it long. It went up and the air caught it and brought it down crashing it hard and breaking it. What a waste of money.

Spactacular Storm Launcher
It is the best toy I ever had. It's crazy and fun it can go on water land and even fly. Ashame on you people you just need to be more carefull with it sure it is made of styrofome who cares at least it can fly drive on land or on water. But for me it is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grow Up
The Storm Launcher is very fast and flies so YES IT MIGHT GET DAMAGED BUT IT IS EASY AND FUN TO FIX.
To truly enjoy this toy, follow these simple instructions:
1. Read the instructions
2. Practice at safe speeds in a safe place
3. Expect some damage and fix it with styrofoam glue and packaging tape
4. Don't expect a $100 toy to be indestructible.
5. If you destroy the vehicle, you can buy another one without the RC Controler and Batter for fairly cheap
Enjoy!

Piece of Junk
I bought the storm launcher for my son for christmas. He went outside and played with it for 20 min till it cracked the back wing. then after driving it on the street it tore up the styro foam bottom. WHAT A WASTE OF $100.

Air hogs storm launcher
Storm Launcher is a flimsy piece of styrofoam crap. You must be very gentle with it or else it will break easily.
Probably OK on water but DO NOT USE on dry land.
Hard landing will break it easily.

I had to get one after i seen my friends
My friend recently bought one of these so we took it down the pond, I was amazed with it! It's so maneuverable on the air, land and ground. I was a pro at flying it in no time at all!

This is a great item. You have to be careful when you start out. After all, its a powerful little plane (etc) and if it didnt have any guts it wouldnt be any fun. Husband has repaired his 4 times now and has just gotten new props and a second battery. Great fun, but watch the wind.
