My parents gave my brother and I a “Toy” for Christmas: Hasbro Power Air Surfer Skywolf RC airplane’s. They told us that it had been years since we got a toy and they decided we needed something fun. What a very appropriate present! I’m an IT Architect and have started a business this year with 3 partners, which is going very well, but it’s been full of tension. My brother is a captain for a major airline and flying is business to him. Wonderful choice by the folks!

I flew mine last night in their yard and found that it actually flies! This morning I took it over to the local park and put a full charge on it and flew it around. It seems quite underpowered, but does fly. I’ve since come home and taken a heater to one of the spare props to give it a bit more bite. I’ll see if that gives enough performance boost so I can keep from holding “full back” on the stick.

An update: I’ve fixed up my Skywolf and it’s flying like a dream now. First, I installed the “tweaked” propellor. Next I straightened out the control arms to the rear elevons which put them into a slight up pitch at rest. Finally, I tapered and taped the leading edge of the elevon to cut down on drag. I can now fly my Skywolf at “cruise” speed and straight and level at full power results in a slight climb attitude.
