Lutema Avatar 2 Hovercraft review

My son received the Lutema Avatar 2 Hovercraft as a birthday present. We were really excited to try it out. Unfortunately this the one of the worst toys ever designed. Lets start with the fact that there are three instructions manuals that all give a different set of instructions on how to sync the controller with the helicopter. None of the manuals are actually for the model we have since the descriptions in the manual do not match the controller or the helicopter. The box claims that the unit comes with a wall charger adapter, which it does not. The instruction manual also states to charge the hover craft to plug the USB into the wall charger that doesn't exist. It also sort of mentions that you can charge it by plugging it into the controller, but it is not clear on this. The instructions also state that there should be a red and green light to indicate the Lutema Avatar 2 Hovecraft is either charging or fully charged, which it has neither. After following the vague instructions for syncing the controller from three different manuals, we finally got it to sync ONE time. We were able to fly the hovercraft for about 5 seconds before it lost contact with the controller and began to fly on its own. It crashed. After repeating the same sync instructions a dozen times we could not get it to sync again. I read through the instructions one more time, repeated the SAME steps as before and it sync again. This time I was able to fly it for about 5 second before it became unresponsive to the controller and landed and crashed again. After trying to sync it again for 5 minutes we gave up. I followed the QR scan code in the instruction for "How to sync your hovercraft". This took me to a video of a different model of hovercraft as the controller looks nothing like mine. The instructions are the extra steps we are doing to sync it. So we try again and guess what it syncs. We fly it for about 5 seconds before it again loses contact with the controller and begins to fly all around on its own until it crashes. We are now unable to get it to sync at all. We are trying to charge it again in case that is the issue but really, this toy and the instruction are a piece of crap. If your products has the following issues, its a piece of crap: Doesn't have what the box says is included. Has multiple manuals for the wrong model. None of the instruction fit your model. The instructional video is not for your model. The instructions are written by someone in China. If the Lutema Avatar 2 Hovercraft actually worked I think it would be really neat. Unfortunately we will likely be taking it back since we can not get it work in the least.

Possible wing from flight MH370 found.

A portion of an aircraft wing has been found on Reunion Island that may be part of the MH370 plane that went missing March 8th.  The plane was last seen on radar turning off course.  No debris has ever been found and million of dollars across a dozen country have been spent looking for the wreckage on the ocean floor.  Conspiracy theorist has come up with all sorts of outrageous thoeries of government cover ups to terrorism and alien abductions.

Maybe this wing will come up as a positive match and family give these family some closure as they know what the final outcome was for the plane.  It may even lend a clue as to where the plane went down.  Only time will tell what the researchers will find.

Jake's Wayback Burgers Irving

A new burger restaurant called Jake's Wayback Burgers opened in Irving.  This restaurant is located on Riverside and Royal next to the 7 Eleven gas station.  This burger restaurant opened only a few days ago.  I work about a quarter mile from this location so I decided I would give it a try.

Before I give you my review you must know that I went into the restaurant with extremely high hopes.  The food looks amazing and I was sure this was going to be my new favorite burger joint.  I went to the restaurant July 15th.  The first thing I noticed was that I was the only person in the restaurant that was a customer.  There were about a dozen Wayback Burger executives that were admiring the restaurant, taking pictures and discussing business.

I stood in front of the cash register for about 2 minutes while an employee was doing something with the cash register.  It was awkward because she never acknowledged me.  I could see that she was busy doing something but I felt like I was being ignored or that she just couldn't even see me past whatever she was doing.  A simple smile or something like "I'll be with you in a second" would have been nice.  No big deal right.

Next I ordered the Burger of the Month the All American Burger.  I got the combo 2 which is a side of fries and a medium drink the total was 11.64.  I started to regret my order as I saw two fairly small patties hit the grill.  I got my drink and watched as my burger cooked.  After cooking for about 4 to 5 minutes they put the fries in the fryer.  The burger was done but the fries were not.  I had to wait an additional 3-4 minutes for the fries to finish cooking.  Timing these a little better would have made me a lot happier.  Instead of about a 5 minute wait time, I had about a 10. When I got to work I find a pretty average sized amount of fries, nothing close to what you would expect for almost 12 bucks.  The fries were pretty tasty, cooked just about perfect to my liking.  They are soft medium thick fries.  The burger was good but nothing special.  In fact the extras such as the friend jalapenos were lacking flavor and used sparingly.

So how do I rate Jake's Wayback Burgers in Irving?  The food by itself was pretty good.  It wasn't what I hoped for but it was tasty.  The fries were just perfect for how I like them.  The price was too high for what I got.  I would happily return if what I got was around 9.50 but for 11.64 I just simply cant see my self going back often.  Plus there are atleast half a dozen burger restaurants within a few miles that are cheaper or better.  Five Guys, In and Out burger, Wendy's, Steak and Shake and Whataburger are some that come to mind.

You Cant Win This Answers

KPLX is currently running a contest called "You Can't Win This".  The object of the contest is to get all 5 questions correct.  The problem is, there is only one time a day around 7:20 A.M. that someone gets a chance to answer.  And the problem is, even though the first 3 questions have been answered, some people continue to call in and "guess" the wrong answers.  I guess these people have not listened to the show at all since the first three question have been answered and they don't change.

So to help out maybe this list of the questions and answers will keep people from calling in and wasting a guess on answers that are already know.  Here are the first 3 answers and the question for the fourth for the You Cant Win This contest on KPLX.

1. What is the first thing you know?
Old Jed's a millionaire(Beverly Hillbillies)

4. A singer, a baker, and a thug, what is missing?
Answer is unknown at this time.

Lily Camera

I came across this incredible flying camera.  By placing a target beacon on yourself, Lily will follow and record video of you.  Lily will take HD video at 60 FPS and 120 FPS at 720.  Lily has a flight time of 20 minutes.

The amazing part is that you simply toss Lily in the air and she begins to fly and record video of you.  There is no controller needed.  You can set the distance she flies from you before hand and with a push of a button you can make her hover in the air while still filming.  She is also water proof so you can drop her in the water and watch her take flight even from the water.

This new little toy is amazing.  You can pre-order them for 599 right now or they will be 999 once they come out.

Check out this video of Lily in action.

Goliath Grouper from Kayak.

I've never Kayak fished.  And I have never caught a Goliath Grouper.  I certainly would never think about trying to land a big Goliath Grouper in a Kayak.  This is a pretty cool video.  Im glad these fish are making a come back.  They were wiped out in the 80's and 90's from over fishing, but now with protected status these fish are making a good come back.
