ninja2059 - (November 06, 2006) Initially my heli flew backwards and continuously spun. After adjustment of the potentiometer it started to stable up. there is a fine line for this because of the different speeds. I found that once i had it stable in the air (with a bit of left turn on) it still wanted to fly backwards. This was compensated by more power and by golly did she fly. Sorry people but patience is required for this one. All of this was done on its maiden flight. I also found that using a large board on grass with the tail rotor overhanging works fine. When landing give some more power just before the ground and it hovers quite well enough for you to land. Saying that though it might be just the fact that

lordazar - (October 06, 2006) The airblade is uncontrollable. I was not able to operate it in the house because steering was horrable. Nor was I able to control the airblade when operating on pavement. The best that I could do is flip it. When placed in the water it flopped and splashed and twirled and nothing more. Also, the wheels are NOT airtight because there are several factory cut holes underneith each wheel. And the wheels are filled with white styrophone. Also note that 60 feet of radio control really sucks.

Tony215 - (11/18/2009) I purchased this fan about 14 months ago. This is a nice fan although a bit pricey ... until it quit working. I contacted Lasko customer service to get a new CGFI plug that can be replaced easily. Lasko advised me that the only option to fix this was to buy a whole new fan. DON'T Buy this fan unless you want to throw your money away because Lasko isn't going to help you when it breaks!

StanOnt - (04/23/2009) We have had the same negative experiences as others. I bought this for my grandson as a dad-'n-son toy. It lasted an hour before it stopped working. Emails to the manufactuer, Learning Curve (Thomas and Friends); and Johnny Lighting were totally ignored. BTW, you can buy wooden Thomas tracks at the Dollar store for a fraction of the price of Learning Curve offerings!

gaylab - (04/21/2009) Doesn't do anything but clank an annoying sound of grinding toy gears - oh!, and it has a catchy tune it repeats as well that makes you want to smash the whole thing with a mallet!!!! wouldn't recommend!!!
