You're swimming in the lake, enjoying the summer sun. The blue sky smiles down on the shimmering water – peaceful and refreshingly cool, its green waves lapping up against the brown shores. Suddenly a flash of white zooms by you; its twin propellers beating against the water, churning it up into a violent frenzy as it leaves behind a wake of white froth. Its sharp angles catch your eye; a shining, ivory hull reflects the sunlight for a brief moment before disappearing into the black water. Before you can regain your senses, it's become a tiny white dot, lost in the myriad of colors floating in the afternoon.
The High Wind NQD RC Racing Boat is an awe-inspiring fusion of performance and design. Its twin 380-Type motor propellers give you top-notch speed, while its sleek hull and aerodynamic body provides increased control and maneuverability in the water. However, the High Wind isn't simply all function with no form – it comes to you coated in an immaculate white with either blue or red accents lining its keel, and bold NQD logos flanking it on either side. Included also a display stand, so that you can look good both in and out of the water!

3.0Kinda fun and cheap!!!!2009-07-09PROS High Speed Durable Easy to ControlCONS Longer Battery LifeBEST USES Scaring Ducks etc Lake PondComments about ZZZ - High Wind Remote Control Boat, Blue:
Well, I got this boat so that I could pester the geese and ducks that hang out in the community pond behind my house. The first thing that I noticed was that the boat is extremely light. There are two small electric motors that control the two props independently and a NICD rechargeable battery pack. Ok, here's the skinny: I'm giving this 3 stars and not a 5 because the boat is kinda fun and it is really cheap, but the batteries only last for a good 10 - 15 minutes and then they have to be charged for 5 hours. The charger that is supplied with the battery pack is not a smart charger, so you have to make sure that the battery is only charged for 5 hours and not more. It would be convenient to get a wall plug timer and set it to cut the power to the charger after 5 hours, otherwise you have to make sure to remember to unplug the battery before the 5 hours are up. Also, i wished the boat had a reverse function, so if you get stuck you might have to get it unstuck manually, but it's a [$] boat for cripes sake, so it is still fun. Anyway, for [$] you get a boat that is pretty fast for about 10-15 minutes. Hey, it sure does the trick in scaring the geese and ducks, so I'm happy with my purchase. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

4.0Great Goose Chaser2009-07-09PROS Well Constructed Long Range High SpeedCONS BEST USES Comments about ZZZ - High Wind Remote Control Boat, Blue:
The boat is fun and fast, except if you are a Canada Goose. I use it to chase them off my pond and they hate the little ..... I'm goose-less at the moment and wish some would return cause it is fun to chase them around.The boat goes fast and turns well. Don't know about battery life because the geese leave way before the battery runs down. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

5.0Works really well in ponds2009-07-09PROS High Speed Easy to Control Durable Long RangeCONS LeaksBEST USES Comments about ZZZ - High Wind Remote Control Boat, Blue:
My son got this remote control boat for his birthday. We are very pleased with it. We have a large pond and it works really well in it and the boat goes pretty fast. I would highly recommend this boat. You do have to buy extra batteries ( I think we have four) since it uses up the batteries pretty fast. Overall it is a good boat. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
