Is The Disney Planes Wing Control Dusty Crophopper Radio Control Plane a Good Choice For My Child?

Four AA and two AAA batteries are required to power Dusty, and the small controls which fit over your child's hands control the toy's actions. What is really neat is Dusty becomes more of a playmate than a toy, since it moves however your child does. And unlike some other movie based toys, Dusty's voice is very clear, and accurately portrays the character in the film. This is also a toy your child can sit down and play with when not using remote control operation.

The toy measures roughly 11" x 6" x 11", and weighs about 2 pounds. On hardwood, linoleum and other flat floor surfaces, Dusty rolls perfectly, and even on low shag carpet. A flat concrete or patio surface is fine, but grass and heavy shag carpeting will probably not get the experience your child is looking for. The rolling plane's propeller starts spinning whenever he moves forward, and there are three preprogrammed moves your child can perform at the touch of a button.

Dusty can even call out flying commands like "Bank Left!" for your child and the toy to perform together, and what parents of forgetful children will love is the battery-saving automatic shut off which powers the plane off if your child forgets to.

The spinning propeller does not go fast enough to hurt or alarm your child if it is grabbed, and the bigger, more open area you have for your child to play in, the better. The Disney Planes Wing Control Dusty Crophopper Radio Control Plane is a great medium priced toy that will be a big hit for any children who love the Disney Cars and Planes movies, and is great for keeping your child active since his or her actions control the performance of the rolling plane.
