This is a picture of my air hogs biplane. I bought my air hogs biplane about two years ago when I first became interested in RC flight. It's a great little plane to introduce anybody to the hobby of radio controlled flying. These little radio controlled biplanes are practically indestructible. You can crash an air hogs biplane multiple times with little to no damage at all. If you're thinking about getting into RC flight, I highly recommend starting with one of these little jobbies. This air hogs biplane is what I started out with to become familiar with the concepts of flying,

 My air hogs biplane takes about 20-25 minutes to charge. The transmitter serves a dual purpose. Not only does act as a radio to control the plane, it also recharges the plane's internal lithium polymer battery. Air Hogs says that you should get over 10 minutes of flight time on a full charge. I have been able to achieve 20+ minutes of flight time with some throttle management. Mainly because you don't need full throttle the whole time are flying.

 Thrust vectoring is a simpler concept than it might sound. Understanding this principle will help you to steer your air hogs biplane while in flight. This is how it works:

 First, think about the airplane flying up in the air in a theoretical straight line. When this is happening, both the left and right propellers are spinning at the same speed(RPM). Now lets say you want to steer the plane to the left. OK, When you push the steering lever on your transmitter to the left, the motor on the right hand side of the plane begins to spin faster(Higher RPM). When you decide to turn right and push the steering lever to the right on your transmitter, the left side motor on the plane begins to spin faster and the right side motor then spins slower(Slower RPM).

 When you are done turning, simply release the steering lever on your transmitter and it will return to neutral. Thus allowing your planes motors to spin at the same RPM simultaneously.

 Remember, you can't steer the plane unless you have some level of throttle applied. The system is set up to allow you to steer ONLY if you have throttle engaged. Don't let all this information scare you. These planes are great fun and will take many "crashes". I've crashed mine dozens of times with no serious damage. It's all about having fun.

 In association with using thrust vectoring for steering, fine adjustment can be made with the little trim dial located on your transmitter. What this does is adjust the RPM ratio of the propellers when steering lever is in the neutral position. As the video suggests, use this to obtain a straight flight path.

On the tail end of the air hogs biplane you will see two control surfaces.

 The horizontal stabilizer ( Elevator = Up/Down ),

 and a vertical stabilizer ( Rudder = Left/Right ). 

These can be adjusted manually to trim in your air hogs biplane flight performance.

 I would recommend leaving these alone for your first flight until 

you can see how it will perform in the air.

 Don't worry about all the technical jargon if you don't understand it all. If you end up purchasing one of these, just have fun. It made me feel like a kid again and would probably do the same for you.

 The air hogs biplane weighs just 19 grams. That's only about 2/3 ounce! Extremely lightweight but will still fly in light winds. Such as 5mph or less. Being such lightweight, I chose not to apply my included decals.

 There are three frequency channels spin master decided to use. They labeled them A, B and C. All three are within the 27 MHz band. This means that three different planes can fly in the same area at the same time. Also included in the box are some little aluminum stickers intended to be used for balancing the plane level from front to back if you so find the need. I never used mine. Flies great out of the box.

I bought mine for about $35.
