ParkZone Ember 2 RTF Aircraft

 (27 customer reviews)

Well, I decided to get my first "real" plane, so I went to the hobby store, and tried to decide between a Vapor and an Ember2, I bought the Ember2.

First thing you notice, this plane is LIGHT! The cells for it are around 1/2 inch wide, and about 1 1/2 inches long, the stock cells will give you around 8 or so minutes of flight time.

This plane is super easy to fly, I was able to do landings, takeoffs, and hand catches within an hour of owning it, but as other reviews have said, wind is this things enemy.

I have been flying the Ember2 for about 9 months now, and I have had to do some minor repairs, but it still looks almost new, and it flies better then ever. The only real damage you can do is actively flying it into something, with the power off though, it has very little momentum, and will do no damage (usually).

I have now upgraded to the Dx5e Spectrum dsm2 transmitter, and the Ember2 is a dream to fly on low rates. I generally fly with the...Read more

I have played with many RC airplanes and helicopters, both cheap toys and more expensive ones.

The Parkzone Ember 2 and Vapor are at the very top of my list. I love trying to fly, but on all of my previous planes I just didn't do well. I must admit I play at it and don't get super serious, just don't have much time.

But the Ember2 and Vapor made it possible to fly and be successful at it. Both of them are unbelievably easy to fly but are able to do some very great things.

THESE ARE NOT TOY LEVEL PLANES. I bought the Ember 2 then the Vapor. The Ember 2 flies faster and can take wind better than the Vapor. I have done loops with the Ember and all kinds of various maneuvers. It has a feel of a good airplane and not a toy.

The Vapor according to my scales weight 3/8 of a once and have a very small motor and servos to control this plane. It is a very responsive plane but also you can do loops and many other tricks. The Vapor can almost...Read more

Excellent plane. Much better than any Air Hog -type plane we've tried (even though the Aero Ace planes were pretty good, considering). We really wanted a gym flyer like the Vapor but also wanted some ability to fly it outside as well. Truth is, this is virtually impossible with this plane unless there's no breeze whatsoever. However, still an excellent flyer, given no wind and it's definitely faster than the Vapor and more airplane like in it's handling (the Vapor is pretty awesome in it's own right though).

We would recommend this plane to any parent/grandparent who wants to get their son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter a "REAL" flying R/C plane for the cheapest price possible. Don't waste your time or money on anything below this as we have already tried most of the Walmart/Target toys and would have easily paid for this one by now (maybe several times over).

As always, be sure to check out You Tube reviews as these are usually the best way to get a sense...Read more
