Ready to Fly
Because flying can be dangerous, the Robotic Air Defense is made with impact-resistant material to stand up to long days of play. The amazingly light stealth wing styling is inspired by actual stealth planes. The robot features a twin turbo engine design and comes ready to run on a built-in, rechargeable 7.4-volt lithium ion polymer battery. In the case of more than one flying robot being in use, the remote control provides two separate channels. This robot also includes a first aid vehicle repair kit and a detachable blaster, and a XPV fuel system that also charges USB devices. It is recommended for kids ages eight and up.

Rating : - XPV shadow hawk much better
I purchased two of these at Amazon. The first never flew, it only nosed into ground and then broke. The second I had some spectacular flights and was able to actually do barrel rolls and high speed passes. These planes are, however, extremly fragile. Even minor crashes would cause the stabilizer to become unglued. I was only able to keep the second one flying with lots of tape and glue. The flight times are also quite a bit shorter than the XPV shadow hawk.
