Watch out for the trees
I received my plane and at first it wouldn’t pair with the remote. I notified the seller and they sent me a whole new plane. The new plane works really well. My first flight I got it stuck in a tree and had to use a slingshot led weight and fishing line to get it out. Even after sitting in the tree for a day it still flies. I have since flown it a few more times and it does pretty good. If it’s windy don’t fly it(that’s how I got it stuck in the tree) also make sure you’ve got a LARGE OPEN area to fly it. I have about 1.5 acres to fly mine and it seems small. I’d like to find a large field open field I Dont have to worry about trees or even making a turn as soon as I get it in the air. You will most likely loose the landing gear after a few crashes but I don’t take it off with landing gear. The tail broke at two places during one of my crashes1. at the plastic area that screws it into the body of the plane2. On the vertical piece about halfway to the horizontal taleI used the glue to fix the broken tail and will continue to put the tail back in the slot when it falls off because of the broken plastic piece.Over all this is a fun little plane and it does what it’s supposed to do.I don’t expect it to go on forever but we are enjoying it.

Junk.
Absolutely the worst RC plane I’ve ever bought. A waste of money. And asking for money back.

Fly the sky
My husband is an airplane fanatic and loves to study them and watch videos about them, especially the accident videos because he likes to determine the causes of what went wrong and see if he can determine himself the causes before hearing about it. At one point he wanted to be a pilot himself but alas, life leads elsewhere. This was a no brainer and the amount of time he spends with it, studying it and learning all he can about it makes him a happy camper. He enjoys flying it around and learning the ins and outs of it and it has rekindled his love even greater than before, so much so in fact that he is hoping to take some lessons and learn to fly small craft. In fact, I will be buying more of your products after this with different models.Considering that you can fly multiple crafts at a time and have them not interfere with one another has made him even happier because he feels it is like a pilot learning how to do it for real in the real thing.

Got My First RC Plane and Its Pretty Good
The media could not be loaded. Been flying this rc plane for about 3 weeks now and its actually not bad for my first one! Started out just tossing it in my backyard but now im taking it to the park down the street where theres more space. The foam body is tougher than it looks - crashed it a few times learning to land (oops) and it only got a tiny scratch that the included glue fixed right up. Battery life is decent - got about 35 mins of flight time before needing a recharge which isnt quite the 40 they claim but still pretty good. The remote control works fine up to maybe 400ft away (tested it at the soccer field) and i havent had any issues with it cutting out. Love that its ready to go straight outta the box cause i wouldnt know how to put one together tbh. The automatic stabilizer thingy helps keep it steady - saved me from a few nose dives when i was learning lol. Few quirks tho - sometimes the landing gear gets wobbly after a rough landing and needs adjusting, and the battery door is kinda fiddly to open. The propellers are good quality but grab a spare set cause you might bend one learning to land (speaking from experience here). Nice that it looks like a real cargo plane, my kid thinks its super cool. Takes a bit of practice to get the hang of taking off - found out the hard way you need to throw it just right or itll dive straight into the grass. Makes for a fun weekend activity when the weathers good and nice that i didnt have to spend a fortune to try out the hobby.

Relatively durable, FUN, fast, and easy to control
I bought this as a gift for a 9-year-old who wants to become a pilot. He had been playing flight simulator games for almost a year now (X-Plane). So, what better birthday gift than a remote controlled-plane, right? I knew that a RC helicopter would not be something he would enjoy.First, one must clearly understand that each city may have laws that regulate where RC planes/helicopters can or cannot fly. So, be sure to operate this at a park where they are allowed. Some may require a "pilot" license.Second, unlike a helicopter, a plane requires a small runway for take off and landing.The plane was operable right out of the box and the controls took some getting used to, but once we had it figured out, we were able to perform some stunts (like flying it upside down for a few SHORT seconds -- this plane design does not lend for some flying positions).What amazed us was how FAST this plane goes! The only down side is that the battery only lasts for a few minutes (about 30 mins), but those minutes are worth while for the children who get to play with it.Although the plane felt light (and as a result, flimsy), it was relatively durable during the few times it landed hard (the boy did not yet know how to pull up the nose for a softer landing). I CAN imagine it potentially falling apart when hitting trees at specific angles and speeds, but for the price I paid, that would be expected by me.Overall, not bad of a plane. The boy is happy, and so is my wife and I. Hopefully, this will help support his dream in becoming a pilot.

Quality of product
The aircraft itself is not built strong enough to sustain an inevitable crash that occurs when first learning to fly.

Great product and the best customer support
We purchased the plain for my son’s birthday. As we received the plan, my son unpacked and assembled and we headed to the backyard. The plane flights awesome as it is lightweight, but soon we learned we needed a lot of space as it went through threes several times. As the plain lost its landing gear, I contacted customer support to get a quote for additional parts for landing gear. Customer support was unable to get me additional parts, but Instead they send me a full plane free of charge. This is great customer support, going above and beyond!.. I really appreciate them as they kept my son’s birthday full of happiness and joi playing with the plane!..
