The Giz Wiz, Week of February 19, 2012, Netcast 1404 - Our 7th Anniversary Show!

DateFebruary 18, 2013 CommentPost a Comment

Leo and I both loved the Air Hogs Battle Tracker that came out last year. Right after I talked about it on the Giz Wiz, Leo immediately ordered one. Here's the original Netcast about the Battle Tracker: http://gizwizbiz.squarespace.com/dicks-blog-log/2012/8/9/can-you-make-the-remote-control-helicopter-outwit-the-rc-aut.html.

At this year’s Toy Fair I was excited to see what was new from the Air Hogs division of SpinMaster Toys. Inside their 'invitation only' showroom, I found a nifty little gadget called the Air Hogs Elite Helix X4. It’s not just a new helicopter; the Air Hogs Elite Helix X4 is a high-performance Remote Control quad-copter heli. Here are some details from Spin Master: Utilizing state-of-the-art 2.4GHz radio control, gyro stabilization, and 4-ducted fans, the Helix X4 is aggressively maneuverable and incredibly fast! Built with two distinct control modes, beginners can easily learn to fly, while advanced pilots can work to master flight. The Helix X4 features incredibly crash-resistant materials protecting the rotors and delivering superior durability. Its full 4-channel control enables the Helix X4 to easily outfly any obstacle and charging is quick & easy using either the controller or the included USB charge cable. Air Hogs brings you the future of flight with the Elite Helix X4! Age: 12+ Suggested retail price: $89.99 Batteries: 8 AA. It will be in stores August, 2013.

Thanks to ABC News producer & cameraman Peter Martinez, here’s a bit of the Elite Helix X4 in HD Video:  http://youtu.be/LapQlhjDC4c
