This review is from: 2-Channel RC Super Sonic Radio Control Airplane (Toy)
I was looking for cheap twin engine RC airplane for some time and found this the best value for the money.
It really flies and will survive hard crashes but it is not an airplane for beginners. The radio allows controlling the RPM of the engines in only 3 steps: off, low and high. Left-right direction is controlled only like full left - straight - full right. With the direction this is not such a problem but doing the same with the speed so that the plane is not going up or down but straight can be a challenge. If you can fly RC aircraft and are looking for something cheap which flyes on little space and does not need any maintenance, this can be interesting. I am not expert but I can fly an RC airplane with proportional control reasonably well. I had hard time to keep this in the air at first. It can be learned but if you have never flown anything, this one will be too fast and requires the pilot to do too many things just to keep flying straight. If you are serious about RC...Read more

The plane is made for beginners so it's fairly inexpensive. The engines are pretty good and sufficient enough to get some height and distance. The construction is glue and two sided tape so you have to use a little bit of care with it. Don't fly it into trees and your ok. As long as you purchase this as a beginner you should be happy. If you are expecting to do some aerobatic stunts then you will probably need to add several hundred dollars to your budget and not even bother with this little guy. My son (5) loves it and gets a big kick out of playing with it and that's all I cared about.

This review is from: 2-Channel RC Super Sonic Radio Control Airplane (Toy)
This is the second RC airplane I have purchased. The first one was a complete disaster but I wanted to give flying toys another chance. The controls are very easy. Fast, slow, left, right... thats about it. I don't think this plane is able to take off from the ground, I think it's too light. So my first try hand launching I followed the instructions in the box, so I launched with props at full power. This caused the plane to go straight up in the air and then nose dive. So you need to launch at slower prop speed and gradually increase your altitude. This plane can not handle the slightest wind... my day was very light winds and it still caused it to turn hard from the wind. It survives the little crashes great. I crashed over and over without any problems except for the battery case coming off the bottom. I found that clear packing tape worked much better than the supplied plastic piece. The nose cone is durable foam which holds up great, however, if you nose dive too...Read more
