this aircraft is very fun to fly. it soars and stays in the air for a good amount of time. however, i left somthing sitting on top of the air plane when it was charging, (probably the contoller) and the thing broke. overall, this is a good airplane if you are not looking for a hobby like one of those gas airplanes.

I ordered 3 of these a few days before Christmas 2009 from [...] for $[...] each, with less than $[...] SH/Tax. FIFTEEN dollars folks! UPS delivered the planes 2 days later. I'd rank the plane higher except that I've only gotten to use it once. It is very easy to fly. It doesn't get as high as I would prefer, but it handles very easily and turns responsively to the controller. It isn't super fast. My major problem with the flying is that the tail seems to drop down a bit farther than I would have preferred...not giving it a totally level profile in flight. Anyway, if you can go and get one, it's a lot of fun and very easy to use. Other than to want to watch it taxi to takeoff, I would suggest just tossing it into the air to conserve battery charge.
UPDATE: September 17, 2010
The planes are fun to fly. It works much better if you just throw them into the air. It saves battery, as I noted above. Just be very careful with any wind. They are light and will do a high bank and be in a tree or on a roof--I've had to recover them from both. Also, if there are trees or buildings near you, it's easy for them to disappear in the background. An open field is best.

I bought this plane and at first thought it was junk. I was about to return it when I deciced to wait to see if I could get it going. Sure enough, it started working. The only bad thing is that it needs wind to start up. Yesterday I got it to launch off my Aunt Sheley's driveway turn left and go straight for about 45 feet. The only people I would not recomend this plane to are people that don't get a lot of wind.
