Only remotely resembles an F-16, but still a cool toy, uhh, for the kids I mean.

#1 Agreed. They got the wings all wrong.

Where is the orange tip? The air force might shoot me down.

#1 and #2 - the wings are all wrong because instead of equipping the toy with an jet fuel powered afterburning turbofan they use a cheesy battery powered plastic fan.

Years ago I was actually involved with manufacturing jet engine that went into F16. I have that what-is-this-sh*t expression when I first saw this thing.

Found some cool videos of jet R/C planes on youtube. Uses real gas turbine engines and looks like something that would be shot down if flown over restricted airspace.

I am an F16, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

These are pretty fun. My nephews have had two or three different Air Hog planes and now have some of the Air Hog Helicopters. I have been impressed in that they are pretty sturdy for styrofoam.

I agree with #11. Air hogs are durable and fun toys. We take our boys to the park on a Sunday morning with two or three r/c planes and have a blast. Surprisingly good value. As for it not looking like an F16, I agree with #4. You need more wing surface area when you don't have a jet engine.

Not a bad price for a crash and burn plane.

This one is known to pretty much suck, certainly not worth 30.
Snag an Aero Ace for the that kinda money, the sport in particular.
