Sure, r/c aircraft are cool. I mean, what could be cooler than flying turbofan r/c jet fighters or hovering Cobra helicopters from a distance? How about arming them for dogfight and air to ground attack? Now that would be cool. And Air Hogs is doing it with the Sharp Shooter.

Now granted, you’re not going to turn your buddies R/C copter into a fireball, but how awesome is it that R/C flyers can fly remotely and when coming upon a target of opportunity, knock it down with a kinetic missile dart? And it’s not just a best guess firing solution either as the Sharp Shooter deploys missiles on target thanks to an LED locator. And the double, counter rotating helicopter blades provide excellent stability in order to keep on target. Both missiles also fire independently so the pilot can fire and forget and move on to another target of opportunity.

Comes with Sharp Shooter helicopter, controller/charger, Targets, missiles and instruction sheet.
