Air Hogs and Estes RC

I have purchased two Air Hog Hawk Eye Blue Sky camera planes. They fly pretty well and each has a camera capable of taking avi movies in flight. I have "hopped up" one of them by removing the stock props and substituting propellers from an Estes X-81. They are somewhat bigger and have a deeper pitch. I had to cut a little out of the Blue Sky wing to make them fit. I bought the Estes X-81 from Big 5 sporting goods and it came with extra props. Props for this neat rendition of a Blue Angels F-18 are also available from the Estes web site. I am going to order more of those props. When I have a chance to fly these planes, when it is not so windy, I will post reviews on this blog.
