Schools of Mega Fliers have arrived at Mastermind! The new and improved RC Gigantic Flying Inflatable FISH that actually swim around your house! Check them out on our Website
This very interesting concept has made quite a splash as a new and innovative RC toy. Kids and adults alike find the Mega Fliers to be extremely fun and fascinating to watch swim around a room like a real fish. What's amazing is that there are three types of fish to choose from! Choose between a Great White Shark, a Clown Fish, a Big Mouth Bass, or even collect all three and create your very own GIGANTIC AQUARIUM!!
The Mega Fliers are over 5 feet long, use helium to float and remotely activated parts to move through the air. The remotely activated moving parts include the tail fin and a ballast pod that runs on a track along the belly of the fish. The weight in the ballast can be adjusted manually to create the perfect balance, allowing your fish (when motionless) to float steadily in mid air at one particular height.
The fish itself requires some assembly out of the box. Once you have filled up the body with helium from a party store, grocery store, (really, anywhere balloons are sold) or from your own helium tank (sold separately), you attach the dorsal fin and two pelvic fins. Next, you add the ballast and track to the belly of the fish. Each one of these parts is attached to the body of the fish by sticky tape that comes with your Mega Fliers. Finally, you must attach the tail fin and motor that will eventually propel your Mega Flier as it swims through the air.
Once your Mega Flier is prepared for flight, you will need your controller (included). Mega Fliers come with a very effective RC controller that is also very easy to use. Instead of using INFRARED waves to control the fish, this remote uses RADIO waves to wirelessly control the motorized parts that make it fly. This means that, unlike an infrared remote that requires the user to be within the line of sight and relatively close to the fish; with a radio controller, you can actually fly your Mega Flier fish from a greater distance, more accurately, with fewer disturbances from other frequencies in the area and even around corners!! The radio controller is great if you want to have your Great White Shark swim around a corner to scare an unsuspecting friend, sibling or parent!
Printed on the box that your Mega Flier will come in is a brief description of the species of fish that you have purchased. I think that this is a great addition to the packaging because it adds to the learning experience of this amazing RC concept. Whether you are discussing the gigantic flying fish with a neighbor or your child, the featured anecdote will surely add to a very interesting conversation.
Notes:
• Ballast pod requires 1 AAA battery (not included)
• Radio Controller requires 2 AA batteries (not included)
• When not in use, make sure to tie down your Mega Flier with the ribbon provided so it doesn’t float away.
• All assembly instructions can be found online at the Mega Flier Website
Happy Playing!
