Should I buy the Airhead AHTK-2 or the Sea Eagle 370 Pro? Price is the same. Which is easier to handle on lakes/ocean, faster and more fun?

I just ordered the Airhead (but from Walmart.com...where it was 80$ less) I finally found a review where one person had bought both boats (also the Sea Eagle 370 pro) and he swears the airhead is much better: http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/airhead-performance-12-travel-kayak-2-person-reviews (1th review Dont dimiss this one) Airhead has better material and tracking, seats are better and the bottom is more stiff. It even looks better. I also found some youtube videos and must say the seaeagle looks like it sinks in the middle too much. The airhead sidewalls also look much lower (easier to paddle and of course to get in after swimming). Some airhead might have problems with leaks (I will return it easely in the next Walmart if it leaks...), the SeaEagle is reported to look a little bit dirty after a few uses because the white color takes on black or blue stripes. I paid 400 with two 96" paddles, two life vests, electric 12v pump and a hand pump (for the extra psi)

I have the umx beast 3d and the sbach, so not exactly what you're asking about but fairly close. The beast (read biplanes in general) is a bit slower and easier to fly than the sbach. It will do any type of maneuver you ask of if, but only at about 80% of the quickness of the sbach. The sbach is simply a sharper flying airplane, with legitimately fast responses on high rate. I will say that I found the above qualities a bit intimidating when I first bought the sbach, and that was enough to send me back to the biplane for awhile. If it's a question of what your first aerobatic airplane should be, get the Pitts. If you're looking for a truly aerobatic, small plane, get the sbach or the yak. Hope this helps.

It's a little bigger than a 200 size heli. I would not buy this heli. Major problem with tail motor DOA. Mine was and 2 more were. Get a WL TOYS V912. You will be much happier with this fixed pitch heli. Same size, much better quality. FYI... If you already have flow 3-4 channel fixed pitch heli's. ...And you feel pretty confident, go for a collective pitch 6 channel. If you like this size, get a Walkera Master CP. Very docile for collective pitch heli. I own one and still fly it even today although I have advanced to more 3D capable heli's. It is a relatively inexpensive heli even in RTF versions ($150 or so). You will get much more enjoyment once you get over complexity of collective pitch flying.

Go to "seaeagle.com". You can see the exactly what the "PRO Package" offers.

It will be a challenge. If you think you are a good 4 ch flyer and can step up to CP no problem, you are in for a treat. It is tough, and it feels like you are learning all over.That said, this is a good flying heli. And it is hard to find a less expensive rtf 450 size. The flybarless system and 6 channel makes it fairly stable.First thing to do if you get this one is turn down the elev/ail EXT pot on the receiver. There is no stick banging allowed like you can with a 4 ch.

Single Blade Heli's seem to have better control, but they take some getting use to, and also some forgiving smacks. But they react a lot better than a dual pro. Now this is only my opinion. I have several of both, and prefer the single. Hope this helps.

I have a sevylor Tahiti-K79. The skeg is worth buying as it keeps the kayak moving forward instead of drifting. amazon had skegs last year I think. but maybe not this year. However I have information on the store they used. before. shipstore.com

those are two totally different helis.. I started flying with the s107 then stepped up to a fixed pitch Blade 120. next step up is a Flybarless, collective pitch heli.. much harder to fly. but a real ball once you get it.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

I only have my butt dyno and subjective opinion, however a 4 blade prop has 33% more water surface area to grip, and that can't be a bad thing. I also added a Sting Ray hydrofoil, and my boat (21 ft Chapparal, Volvo 5.7L 280HP outdrive) has never felt better. It hole shots flatter with a skier, stays on plane at almost 500 RPM less, at the cost of maybe 1 or 2 MPH top speed. I'll take that trade every time.

big ones,like you use for inflatable mattresses and smaller on the foot and back rest. I tried the pump from our mattress but took a while and wasn't really firm. Do yourself a favor and get the Sevylor pump. I got one for Less than $20 bucks and it's awesome quick and efficient. BTW, I absolutely love this kayak. I had everyone on the lake jealous. And it comes with the same or better oars that didn't come with any of the other kayaks I've seen. They had to purchase them seperate.

None...that's the same watercraft that I have...I bought the larger size and it was about 8" too short. I ended up going to my local jet ski shop and buying one.

Ahoy Dave,370 only choice...larger, thicker material, carries more weight better.........just a lot of fun....frineds with rigid shell yaks..laugh..until they try my 370.....most comfortable ride ever, track suprisingly well... buy the Delux, with blue strap seats. others totally worthless......Captain Lance..

Thanks for your reply, but I already purchased the emotion edge.. I really like the edge performance wise, but found that it offered little room for extra gear storage. Good for day trips or fishing though.. I also purchased an emotion comet 110, listed at around a foot longer it really seems allot bigger compared to the edge, the hull shape of the comet (flat on the bottom) also allows for ample storage for overnight outings...Thanks again for your input .

I am a novice, but I do recommend this heli, very easy to fly. I did go out on utube and made some changes they recommended to the tail rotor, better battery, lighter balance bar. I reversed the rotors to give more clearance but stripped out the screws and had problems after that. Very durable and fun to fly.

Yes it can be flown indoors and that is what I'd recommend at first so you don't have to deal with wind. Even slight breezes are annoying at first. Like a coaxial? Not exactly. The MSR is a step up from a coaxial in complexity but also in fun. The price you pay is in stability. If you just want to have fun, a quad is your best choice after moving up from a coaxial. If you want to learn to fly a RC helicopter, then the MSR is a good step in the right direction. I wanted to learn to fly a collective pitch heli so I worked my way up from a coax, then the MSR, MSRx, then MCPx. Each are more difficult to fly, but more rewarding and are progressions to flying collective pitch. I got my first quad after flying the MCPx for a while and it's a blast. I still fly the MCPx though depending on what type of entertainment I'm looking for that day. If you want indoor/outdoor fun with the stability of a coax, and you are looking at the Blade line of helis, I would recommend the Nano QX.

Absolutely. The deluxe seats offer better support and comfort, which is very important. I am glad I made the right choice. If you want to seat comfortably, go for the SE 370, which has a longer hull. The SE 330 is simply too tight even for 2 adults of 5'6". Hope you won't make the same mistake as I .
