What a total disappointment. It is so true, you get what you pay for. If the total cost of the plane with S&H was $20.00 I could see, but no, I paid $32.60. Virtually Indestructible was used to describe this plane. What exactly does "Virtually" mean. The nose on the A/C bent up on the first flight with a fairly easy landing. By the end of the third flight the little black nose tip and the entire front end were a crushed mass of bend up strudy foam. And get this... The solid foam construction, well this gave way and the electronics pack w/ the battery were up in the front of the A/C as well. And to beat all the horizontal Stab broke.
I know, I know, you're thinking yeah right... I have been flying RC a/C for years. I was going to introduce my son to an A/C he might be able to handle. Heck, his father couldn't! The first flight was a beautiful long graceful flight. Perfect landing. The next two attempts, the plane never got ten feet off the ground before winging over into the ground. No, Not pilot error! The A/C was trashed out in less than 10 minutes. Oh, and the battery, what a joke! We got one flight. Less than ten minutes. Needless to say...Do not waste your time or money on this product. It is a let down. Bought mine at [...] Don't make the mistake I did...

The first day my son took this out it landed hard and broke the tailwings. I glued those back together. We went out again a few days later. It was flying great and didn't even land hard and the other side of the tailwing broke. When we went to leave, we noticed that the nose had completely disappeared, so now it's useless. Pretty expensive for only 2 flights. Very disappointed.

I put the batteries in the remote and it promptly started to smoke. I opened the remote to find that the batteries had melted! Also, the antenna was broken within minutes of taking it out of the box. This is a piece of junk!

Please spare yourself the misery and disappointment of buying this airplane and expecting it to fly.Your hopes of any fun are instantly dashed as you open the box.This airplane...I wish to dispute it's claim of "Power" as it will never fly under it's own.Flight time is reduced from a claim of over 10 minutes to a solid "0" minutes.So is the fun factor.As it sits in front of you on the ground trying to run more than 1 minute on a full charge,frantically paddling air to move itself,you realize that it will never be more than a abomination and embarassment to the Wright brothers,and their legacy of making flight history.Throwing it {Hand launching it} will not help,only prolonging the inevitable. The shame I feel,I wish on nobody,save yourself-Do not under any circumstances purchase this plane and expect anything but heartache and regret.For your own good you should heed this warning or you will suffer my fate.My Model 9399 is currently deposited in Pierson TWP. Landfill.Imported from china,all the way to an American dump for the next 165,000 years.

Great plane at a great price. This plane is not for beginners. It can be flown, but it is tricky. I recommend a grassy field because your first crashes will be bad. After that, controlled flight, figure eights, etc. I was very grateful that the in-flight battery is rechargable.

First of all, this plane will not fly in any wind whatsoever! Which really means indoor plane. I have seen this plane described as indestructible-what a joke!! I tried flying this plane outside with no wind and still no success. After three flight attempts the main wing was in two pieces. I have repaired the plane, but will not waste any more of my time trying to fly it! Much smarter to put your money towards a higher quality trainer. But, if you really must have this thing, mine is for sale "cheap"!!! Here's my number: 701 426 6289

They battery life was not very good but I liked flying it. You need now wind to fly it, will just crash. When there was now wind it flow so well. I had a few crashs nose first witch bent the nose in word i puled it out and put some fome in there and put the nose back on and fly's better. If you crack it just use some tape it will still fly fine. It is a great beginner plane.

Purchased this for my grandson. He had a great time learning to fly it. Durable. Continued to be usable, even after many crashes.

This aircraft is both cheap and not worth the money. When it arrived the package was torn and the wings were damaged from the seller. The landing gear is so flimsy that it can barely leave the ground. The very first flight the black nose cone broke off and the left prop fell off the wing, from a simple landing. When you can get it to actually fly the battery only lasts about 10 minutes.
This is an extremely cheap made aircraft and i will never order another one again, after this I'm going to stick to flying helicopters... I was that dissappointed in this piece of junk.

This is the cheapest way to get into radio control model flying and the product is more than a toy: easy to assemble and fly.
