This review is from: 4 CH 2.4GHz Radio Remote Control Electric RC US Navy Goshawk T-45 Jet Plane RTF w/ EPO w/ High Crash Resistance + Brushless Setup (Toy)
I find this to be a very nice well flying plane. Although it is not the best plane for a beginner it is a great plane as an addition to your Hanger. The kit is complete with all that you need to go flying. As expected it does require some assembly but that was expected, I was able to go flying in just over an hour. The plane is well constructed and parts I have found Are Available you just have to go to the Amazon seller, where you can find extra batteries and parts if needed. I have a extra battery for mine which makes it real nice to be able to fly more when out at the field. I would not suggest trying to fly it off of high grass better with a smother surface the landing gear are not designed for the high grass. All in all yes I would recommend this plane to some one that is looking for a nice Electric ducted fan. For your first airplane no, always learn with something with a bigger wingspan that a jet. Fast planes with small wingspans lead to fast crashes for beginners, but if you...Read more

This jet is very awesome! It is very easy to fly. It didn't break easily. Overall, I think this jet is really cool.

Defective and extremely fragile,

This review is from: 4 CH 2.4GHz Radio Remote Control Electric RC US Navy Goshawk T-45 Jet Plane RTF w/ EPO w/ High Crash Resistance + Brushless Setup (Toy)
The negatives:
1) Assembly manual in broken English.
2) No spare parts available on Amazon that I could see.
3) Nose extremely fragile: When practicing in the first ten minutes I ran the plane forward at about 8mph and the nose touched a curb and promptly shattered, alone with the front wheel coming unglued from the foam.
4) After making repairs I went off to a high grass meadow so that if it crashed it would be cushioned by 2' of springy crash. The first time I flew the plane it gained six feet before doing a spiral belly flop. After the "high crash resistance" advertised I expected such a slow and mild crash into high grass to be irrelevant but found that the main body was cracked and bent. After repairing this with tape I did another flight and it spiraled and did another crash without raising six feet off the ground and the main wing fell off out of it's pins.
In short it is defective EXTREMELY FRAGILE and even if it had arrived working the...Read more
