This is quite the fun item.

I have three boys from 18 down to 6 and they fly these all around the house. It took the youngest a couple of days to get the technique down, but now he's a pro. They appear to be a bit flimsy, but they have actually sttod up to some " battles." Great item. Charge isn't letting ng, but it's to be expected for the size and weight.

Good small orb to play

The Air Hogs Supernova takes awhile to get to learn how to use this toy since there are quite a few tricks. I took me awhile and it was hard to control. It is light and easy to charge however I feel the battery does not hold much since it is very small. I wish it charging it was faster too.

I had better luck watching the videos online to get tips. Definitely a toy to use inside the house since it is so small.

Cool Concept

We were excited that Family Rated allowed us to try the Air Hogs Supernova for free. We watched the videos and read the instructions several times. Advice: don't show your children the product until after you charge it because it takes a long time to charge. The drone makes an annoying loud sound. I know most drones do but, when you play with them outside, it's not so bothersome. This toy is intended for indoor use only, so the sound was too loud even for me. I could see my youngest (5 year old) was a little concerned at first but, surprisingly, he got over it and wanted to try playing with it. We did everything the video and instructions said to do. We didn't have a super fun experience with it as others that have tried it did. It was rather difficult to navigate and to get it to stay within our hands like the on the video. It seemed rather delicate and definitely had a mind of it's own. After a while, everyone was just not so interested anymore as we got tired of trying to "get it to work" as it was supposed to. We are a family of five and my kids ages are 11, 8, and 5. We are completely thankful that we were able to try this product. This is not something I would purchase in the future.

Air Hog

We received our Air Hog and immediately it was taken out of the box and played with. Not only does my son love it, but so does my husband and my nephew. It's a big hit at our house. I love that it has the plastic "bubble" around it which makes it safer to play with indoors, however I wish it lasted longer before having to recharge. The only downfall we found was the play time before having to replug it in. Other than that we love it and will be purchasing one as a Christmas gift for our nephew now!

Lots of fun

This is a super cool flying orb that the user controls with a series of hand movements. We read the instructions and watched a quick video to learn several hand gestures to make the orb do different tricks. It is a bit of a learning curb so we started off by flying the orb indoors to keep it contained and easier to locate.
The orb has a flight time of about 5-7 mins on a full charge. We let it charge for about an hour between flights. We really had fun chasing this flying orb around and making it do cool tricks. It was great family fun.
I received the Air Hogs Super Nova, Gravity Defying Hand Controller Flying Orb for free to provide my honest opinion on my experience with it.

A lot of fun to fly and do tricks

My family has become somewhat obsessed with flying devices so when we received this AirHog you control with your hands we couldn't wait to fly it. I have girls and boys and it was great for them both but keep in mind the flying time is only around 10 minutes per charge.

Flying this with your hands is a lot of fun. It has 4 sensors around it and 1 sensor underneath that registers your hands movements. So besides going up, down, left, and right you can do tricks with it. I'm not that good yet but did notice with a simple move of both hands the light blinks blue and your now in trick mode. I think I've gotten it to do a few tricks but only on luck.

I actually prefer using my hands to fly things but the sensors on this definitely need a revamp. It worked really well but after a few uses one of the sensor covers came off. I snapped it back in but it seems to fly weird sometimes. It's a really cool toy and comes with extra blades if you lose any. I would buy one of these again because my kids love it.

Fun toy once you get it figured out!

This is a fun little toy once you learn how to play with it. I do not recommend it for really little kids. At least 8 years old. It is kind of fragile so it could easily get broken. So far it hasnt but we have been really careful with it. Once you get it charged up. Takes quite awhile to charge, several hours. After it is charged you can then play. Another thing I do not care for is you do not get much play time. Usually about ten minutes or so. Then you have to recharge.
You are supposed to be able to do tricks with it, but so far we havent figured any out! You are suppose to direct it with your hand movements. With practice we got better and better at. It is pretty entertaining for the small amount of time you get to play with it. But then it's time to charge it again for the next round.

Take some time to play.

This is definitely a cute product. The video seems seamless to play with. Though it does and can be time consuming trying to learn all the in's and out's of this toy. But after getting a handle on it, it was entirely a very cool toy to have around.

Fun flying toy

The instructions were eassy to follow and my boys understood how to fly the Air Hog. The video that was on the Air Hog website made it easy to understand how to fly. My boys quickly discovered that they could do many tricks.

My boys felt like this toy needed more space than we had in our rooms to play with it. They wish they had a big open room like a basketball court as the Air Hog kept crashing into things. The sound that it made was way too anoying and loud and I wish that it had a mute button.

My son loved it- all that matters

I recieved this product for my honest review. From first glance I was concerned because I had no idea how we would control this.
My son was super excited about it immediately, saying how cool it was.

We opened it up, read the instructions while it charged and wait.
It took several tries before we got the hang of it, personally I would rather use a controller but my son who is 11 got the hang of it and love it. He immediately started trying to figure out the tricks and seeing how far he could fly it.

The downside is the charge doesn't last long so I felt like as soon as he was getting into the tricks, we would have to charge it again. He likes it though and has played with it every day since we got it.
