START FLYING FOR UNDER $60.Byline: -Addison Pate Grown-ups and children alike are fascinated with the marvel of flight. Unfortunately, airplanes, both big and small, generally carry hefty heft·y adj. heft·i·er, heft·i·est 1. Of considerable weight; heavy. 2. Rugged and powerful. See Synonyms at heavy. 3. price tags. Now, Hasbro HASBRO Hassenfeld Bros. (toy company) has introduced a more reasonable alternative to high- priced flying machines. The Power Air Surfer Radio Control Airplane airplane, aeroplane, or aircraft, heavier-than-air vehicle, mechanically driven and fitted with fixed wings that support it in flight through the dynamic action of the air. has a suggested retail price of $59.99, whereas other planes and their remote controls cost at least $250. The Power Air Surfer is a durable remote-control airplane based on the concept of a glider. It is made with strong, lightweight foam that can endure multiple crashes without breaking. The simple remote contains three buttons, on each for turning left and right, one to switch the engines on and off. There are two remote frequencies, allowing multiple planes to fly at the same time. The height the plane can travel greatly depends on battery strength and available wind, but generally it can climb as high as 300 feet. The twin engines give a solid 30 minutes of flight time before recharging is needed. Though the Power Air Surfer is recommended for children 8 and older, the younger the child, the more likely he or she is to crash the plane. Even older operators will want to have lots of space to fly this plane. It needs at least 100 feet to get enough altitude altitude, vertical distance of an object above some datum plane, such as mean sea level or a reference point on the earth's surface. It is usually measured by the reduction in atmospheric pressure with height, as shown on a barometer or altimeter. to turn, and with the turns and dips that can accompany flight, it's it's 1.
