We received the Spirit: Riding Free Deluxe Feeding set for free to play with and review. Opinions of this toy are 100% our own. also, I am a member of the Netflix #StreamTeam and as such receive free Netflix and other products throughout the year.

I have never seen an episode of Spirit: Riding Free. Eva is the one who has watched it and she enjoyed the show. When the Spirit: Riding Free Deluxe Feeding Set arrived I asked her if she wanted to give it to a friend because they were a bigger fan of the show. she said that this toy, she’d like to keep. It looked like fun and she had liked watching that episode of Spirit: Riding Free on Netflix and will probably go back to it. She’ll also be more apt to want the Spirit: Riding Free The Adventure Begins Book because included in this set is the first few chapters of this book. If she reads it and gets hooked then she’ll probably want the whole book and want to go back to watching the series, too. Eva certainly liked the toy which you can see in the video below. After that is the official description of the toy and what is included in the box.

Review: Air Hogs DR1 FPV Racer Drone

Air Hogs Drone

We received the fun and exciting Air Hogs FPV Race Drone for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

So, after Sweet Suite this Summer I contacted Spinmaster about some of their great toys. I really wanted to get back to working with the Air Hogs line. They have some fun drones and RC land vehicles, too. I have a bunch of them that I love to fly. I was thrilled and surprised when I opened the box and discovered the DR1 FPV Race Drone. This little drone is a super fast powerhouse.

I’ve used it a number of times and each time I get better and better with it. I started off in the beginner mode. I was having a tough time completely controlling it and then I switched to expert mode and it worked much better for me. I was even able to snag a pretty cool video. I flew the drone and let Andrew wear the googles. He loved it! The Googles are fantastic. They allow you to see what the drone sees in real time using your phone and the FPV app.

I noticed after a few times that my rotors were picking up cat fur. So much so because of my crashes that the rotors weren’t spinning fast enough to lift up the drone. Luckily you can easily pull off the rotors and clean then off. That got the drone speeding like crazy. I was glad to find that out and make the quick fix so we could get back to flying.

Here is the official description of the DR1 FPV Race Drone: Race through the skies with the Air Hogs DR1 Official FPV Race Drone! You’re in the cockpit with First Person Viewing (FPV)! Download the free app to a smartphone, place it in the headset, and start piloting like a DR1 drone racing professional with a livestream from the camera on the drone. Auto-takeoff/land, barometric pressure height lock and beginner/advanced modes make flying effortless for any level of pilot.
