Great little 2 ch plane. This will live in my truck for opportunistic flying. The price is Great! If you want a plane that can be flown out of the box with no experience, crashed all day long with no real consequences and fits under the seat in your car, this is it. Plus, It's cheap enough to allow for some reckless play. I plan to get another so my son and I can dogfight. This would be an excellent gift for a kid (of almost any age) with no prior rc plane experience. Yeah, it's more of a toy than a serious rc plane, but if crashing results in laughter, not tears, I won't complain.A little tail heavy out of the box, but still flyable, just a little fluttery. I added some putty (designed for attaching posters to the wall) to the nose. Makes it fly a little faster, but more controllable and lets it handle a little more wind. Still a little tail heavy, so I might play with adding more putty. As is, it flies well in a small space (not a living room, but definitely in a good size yard). With more nose weight it might be faster and require more space. More nose weight will probably require more throttle and thus reduce flight time (use up your battery quicker).I like that the throttle returns to zero when you release the stick. If a crash is immanent you just let go and hopefully save the motors and props.Shakes off crashes well, and looks easy to repair. I've crashed it plenty and no damage so far. Probably won't hurt a car or building or person in a crash. Location of props makes it unlikely that they will break, but it came with 2 extras. The box makes a nice storage/transport case. Throw in some tape, a stick of hot glue and a mini lighter and you can probably make all your repairs in the field.Flight time is ok, but it came with 3 batteries and they charge fast, so I bet you could keep this in the air indefinitely as long as you have more than one charger (mine came with 2!).Landing gear doesn't stay in, so I haven't tried it, but you could glue it in. I'd use hot glue, then just heat the wire to remove it later if I wanted to. Flies fine without it, you just can't take off from the ground without it.The battery compartment is tight; requires some fiddling to get the battery and plug to fit. Probably the weakest element of the overall design. I worry that I'll wear out the thin wires in the plug with all the fiddling. I might remove the plastic cover and just use blue painters tape to hold the battery in place. That will make switching batteries easier while extending the lifespan of the plug wires.The lights are Awesome! I love that you can turn them on and off from the remote. I haven't tried night flying, ever, but I will! The lights are a different color at the nose than at the tail, so orientation can be maintained in the dark.Only one caution: LiPo batteries can be dangerous if handled carelessly. Even small ones can burn your house down. Learn how to handle them safely. Play responsibly!

Our 7 year old grandson loves flying this plane around his back yard. It flies slow through the air and is easy to control and keep close at hand. It can be hard to control if there is any wind which can blow it away from you so it is best to fly it when it is calm. It is durable and stands up to the carefree use of a young child. With no landing gear it still takes off from virtually any flat surface that is at least a couple feet long. You can also launch it by hand but our grandson likes to launch it off of different types of platforms and objects pretending they are an aircraft carrier or whatever. The three supplied batteries have worked out great, I just wished the battery compartment was a little bigger so it would be easier to install the battery, connector and connecting wire inside the battery compartment. All in all this has been a great purchase that has occupied our grandson for hours of fun and running around the back yard so far.

Surprisingly for his inexpensive as this is it is a lot of fun to play with. Wasn't too fancy with simple easy to operate if you're looking to get one I highly recommend you do

**NEW**Hack: Used a paper clip(s) to make my own landing gear replacement(s).Warning: if the controller is turned off or goes out of range, the plane will continue with the last input - and keeeeeeeps flying… which explains my first outing (story time below) when it went waaaayyyy outta range.Paper Clip story:The landing gear came off after the fifth outing. The plane flew fine without it, but we didn’t like that it would crash on the switch (which is located on the belly of the plane), and could potentially slam into hard or wet surfaces. So I found a small paper clip that was about the right gauge of the original landing gear, and it seems to work fine as an expendable replacement. And now that we’ve been at it a few times, the kiddo is better at flying longer (landing it less), and landing more softly, so we aren’t losing them as often. The landing gear slot doesn’t have a locking mechanism, so we the landing gear (replacement) still comes off, but I don’t have to get in as much of a tizzy because I know we can replace it. No, I didn't try making/replacing wheels cuz I didn’t have anything light enough (yet). You can’t do a rolling takeoff from the ground… but we couldn’t really do it with the original wheels anyway, so not that big of a diff.It’s been about a 30 - 45 min outing with the three fully charged batteries.**Original Review**The plane is super easy to fly. My seven year old learned to how to take off and land in a few tries. I was pleased that he was very interested in reading the instructions as normally he doesn’t want anything to do with books/learning. The pack also comes with spare propellers, three batteries for the plane, and two chargers (standard USB connector) for the plane batteries; you will need to supply 3 AA batteries for the controller. You have the ability to turn off the (what was once annoying) lights underneath the plane if you want to. We left ours on - it saved the plane! Recommend you write your name, contact info on it… the range on it is too good! 🤣Story time!!!So… we learned a good weather lesson the day after Christmas when the plane took off and didn’t come back. We were in a nice open park, no obstructions for 200 ft around. But once the plane climbed higher than the surrounding trees it was gone. The wind picked it up and the plane accelerated towards the edge of the park. I prompted my kiddo to bring it back, he showed me that he no longer had controls of the plane - we had lost the ability to control direction of flight. My heart sank. I aimed the camera in the direction of where I saw it last a few extra seconds and stopped recording. After putting on my best brave face, we changed our gears into a search and rescue mission. We reviewed the video - found a flash of neon pixel spiraling down (I had never been so happy to be proven wrong about something - the lights are a must when you’re looking for the darned thing), and launched our door to door campaign to recover our favorite present. After meeting thirtyish of our neighbors looking for our downed aircraft, I was about ready to call it quits, and started drafting the “lost airplane†poster in my head. That’s when the Boxing Day Miracle happened. I looked up at the next neighbor’s roof. No way! There was our plane. 750 ft away … it managed to land not in the trees, not in a yard, but on an street-side-eave of the last house we checked. It was a tearful reunion of joy.I’m not flying for a while. But when I do, imma write my “Return to…†info before takeoff.If you’ve got a way to track it… do it.

en indoor, comme dehors par temps calme, il est marrant et maniable, mais ça reste une puce de l'air.

So when we opened the box I was at first disappointed but it has turned out to be just fantastic after many flights for now 3 days it is still going so well our 7 year old grandson just loves this plane - after a few collisions it is still in perfect shape which I was genuinely surprised at! Great buy would not hesitate to buy another!

Eines vorneweg: Das Modell kann eigentlich nur bei Windstille betrieben werden, allerhöchstens bei sehr schwachem Wind, was am geringen Gewicht liegt. Die Lenkung erfolgt nicht aerodynamisch über Ruder (z.B. Seiten- oder Höhenruder), sondern über die unterschiedliche Ansteuerung der beiden Motoren. Dadurch sind aber sehr bewusst Flugfiguren steuerbar. Bei Vollgas und geradeaus steigt der Flieger enorm, ohne Antrieb gleitet er die Höhe mit Gleitinkel ca. 1:5 ab. Eine kontrollierte Steuerung erfordert etwas Gewöhnung und Übung, jedoch hat mein siebenjähriger Enkel dies in relativ kurzer Zeit gut behrrscht. Aufgrund des flexiblen Materials verursachten Abstürze oder Kollisionen mit Hindernissen bisher keine größeren Schäden, bei den Propellern sollte man vorsichtig sein und bei Berührungen sofort abstellen. Am besten man fliegt auf einem freiem Gelände oder in einer größeren Halle, in der Wohnung macht es überhaupt keinen Sinn. Das kleine Fahrwerk habe ich weggelassen, es fällt wahrscheinlich sowieso in kürzester Zeit davon. Ein Manko: Die winzig kleinen Akkus im Rumpf zu verstauen, ist ziemlich nervig, da der dafür vorgesehene Raum einfach zu klein ist. Da ist wahrscheinlich auch irgenwann mit Kabelschäden zu rechnen. Ich verstehe nicht, warum der Hersteller hierfür nicht 2-3 mm mehr Platz läßt. Man kann eigentlich mit den 3 Akkus recht lange fliegen, wenn man die leeren immer zeitgleich laden kann. Trotz des Mankos mit dem umständlichen Einbau der Akkus gebe ich 5 Sterne, weil das Modell trotz des vergleichsweise geringen Preises erstaunlich gut fliegt und widerstandsfähig ist.

Funziona bene ed è molto divertente. Vola meglio con una moneta da 2 o 5 centesimi attaccato al muso.Il venditore è stato esemplare nel mandarmi subito il manuale in inglese.
