how easy is this to use as a solo? Also anyone know how it compares to the professional clay hawk do all?

Don't know how it compares to the professional clay hawk but I've not had any problems operating it by myself. Probably has a lot to do with your weight, I weigh about 220...oh, ok 230....all right 233! If your rich, get one that costs more, you'll probably get what you pay for but I'm very happy with mine. See my review.

If you have any kind of a sense of balance you can do this solo, but you will be going for the longer shots, since you need to get your foot replanted before you shoot just for accuracy. I have done a few shots that way. It's definitely easier with someone else launching.

It's a little difficult. You have to almost 'kick' the release pedal (downward---you step on it). It takes a lot of pressure to fling a target. It helps to have a second person step on it for you, but it is possible to do it yourself. Just hard to do it and take aim.

It's easy to use solo other then it's like shooting close up trap. A second person would be easier. I had knee replacement surgery and within 2 months of the surgery I was using thus solo it wil fling doubles just fine takes a few birds to get the hang of it. Mine was well worth the money

Yes easy to shoot from. I use a bow and very stable. Buy some 550 chord and d rings leave your stuff on the ground then pull them up. I just pull up my back pack and bow then tie them off. Everything I need is there.

I would recommend the Avid Fast Track Solo. There is even a version that comes with an educational version of Pro Tools. Also, well under 200 bucks.

easy to fly, yes. Worth the money, maybe. I suggest you go with the Syma 107 helicopter first. It's $5 cheaper, little longer flight time, and slightly easier to handle.

It's honestly about the same size as a hatchet and not terribly different from a hatchet. It's going to out chop and generally out perform something like the fiskars x7, but only because it has more leverage and weight. This is a good tool, if the only thing you plan to do is chop, hammer and kill. It's pretty bad at splitting, not designed for it. If your only concern is its chopping ability, this will out do anything in the under $40 price bracket. If you want to do other things for the same price, get a husquvarna or something.

well in my opinon the norse hawk by cold steel throws well the head has a point so even if you over rotate it should stick. but i find that all my cold steel hawks throw well. i have the trench hawk norse hawk trail hawk and frontier hawk

Think you'll be fine. I only really had experience with cheap 30$ birds and a lot of call of duty helicopter flying, I you have a big room you'll be fine, hardest par is learning to launch it, get it off the ground quick with some immediate right bank and after that it flys pretty smooth, parts are cheap and it's easy to fix

Understanding that you will probably go through many tomahawks over the course of throwing them as a hobby, you could do worse than this one. I think it would hold up to quite a few throws, even the damage I did to mine wouldn't stop it from being a good beat around thrower. It will stick on either the blade or spike side (which is good for your self-esteem). The handle is a little long for throwing (in my opinion). I'm not sure which product on Amazon I would recommend to learn. Any of them that are heavy enough, will be just fine.

I haven't used it extensively. I tried to do some chopping and made some feather sticks and it seemed to holds up pretty good. The only problem for me, it's a little bit hard to sharpen this knife with regular sharpening stone. I found out the best way is using the Diamond Pen sharpener. This is due to the unique curved shape on the middle of the blade. If you're experience maybe you can get by with a smaller, like 1 inch wide sharpening stone. But at the same time, that curved is very helpful to carve feather sticks. So it has it's pros and cons.

They both have a DX4e transmitter. If your skill level is good, I would recommend starting with the Blade Nano cpx. If this is your first Collective pitch help, get this one first. This one is bigger, so it will not be as touchy to the controls as the blade nano cox. I have both and the Blade Nano cpx burns motors quick. If you get the blade nano cpx, get a Horizon Hobby brush less upgrade for it. The Blade Nano cox is almost Indestructible. I crashed it so many times and it still flies. The blade MCPx has tail blowout problems and is a little less powerful in stock form, You are more likely to break stuff on the MCPX. You should probably get a DX6i if you plan on staying in this hobby. With this, you can adjust almost anyrhing. I find the pitch not enough on the DX4e for me to do 3d flying while on the Blade Nano cpx, it is adequate. If you get this rtf, enable the expo on the DX4e. You can see how to do it on my review of this helicopter. That expo is makes the heli have a mushy feeling and it is not the best. Believe it or not, I am still flying with the DX4e. I will upgrade yo DX6i soon.

If you are now good at flying a 4ch fixed pitch heli without any mishaps, then yes this would be my recommendation. I started on a trex 450 but wished I started on the 500 because it is more stable.

I have never flown a quad although I want to. This one is fairly easy to learn and it's small enough to learn indoors where you can control the wind a little better. It's not like those cheap $50 airhogs with the dual blades so it is a little bit more responsive than one of those. It is actually very nimble and I find myself getting it into trouble with a wall or something easily but if you take it slow initially (at least for the beginner heli pilot like me) you can learn a lot and it's very fun. The only thing is that I try to keep a couple of skids on hand because I haven't gotten too much practice landing easily. The parts for it are very cheap though so that's a plus.

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.

There are a lot of reviews on this axe so i can only speak from the axe i received. The hatchet side was sharp right out of the box and will make quick work of anything really; of course i sharpened it after the first test because that is just what i do. The spike side however was pretty blunt, I would recommend sharpening that side if you can/are not happy with it; it did work right out of the box just not to my standards. I personally would recommend wrapping it with a longer piece of paracord, if you do a youtube search "how to wrap paracord on a tomahawk" and you can choose what method works best for you. Hope that helps! There are a lot of reviews on this axe so i can only speak from the axe i received.

Absolutely I've ridden them more In single kingpin setup more; just it's really wide and low so it completely changes the ride of the board. Slows it down a little but high speed carving is fantastic. The feeling of these gullwings in single kingpin format feels as if the wheels are both turning outward just by a mm like there's dragging just a tad but it still cruises like a steam roller, I hope this helps if you have any more questions feel free to ask; I'm more then happy to take the time to answer them

As Katie has stated, it's a single unit, and very well balanced. Removal of the spike would most likely throw off the dynamics. If you are looking for simply the cutting edge and no spike, try the Cold Steel Trail Hawk. It has a nice, wood handle, good cutting edge, no spike.

The wheelyBird throws the clays in only one spot. "same elevation and direction". It must be manually changed, and CAN NOT BE UPGRADED LATER to add the up/down left/right function. The Easybird a little more heavy duty, the standard unit is also only one direction, but can be upgraded to allow continuous direction change or a quick change and than stationary. The two upgrades "up/down unit" and "left right unit" can be added separately. When combined gives a real nice pattern of clay. I took the stand off my easybird and mounted it on a wire mesh wagon i bought off amazon. Leave it on the wagon when i shoot, does great and makes it easy to load and carry to sight
