This review is from: Estes Sky Ranger Mini Park Flyer RC Airplane (Toy)

For about 19.99, you pretty well get what you pay for. The Sky Ranger Mini Park Flyer looks great and has good power. The rudder control is designed to prevent crashes due to over-input - it does this by returning rudder to neutral if the rudder stick is held left or right longer than 1.5 seconds. A good concept until there is wind to counteract! Ideally, this airplane should be flown in near complete calm.

Another ideal feature is the 'breakaway' wing...the wing snaps in place, however, after only a few landings in which the wing breaks away, the plastic mounting plugs start to wear away the soft styrofoam wing in which they are imbedded. The result is a wing that fits looser and looser with every less-than-perfect touchdown. Eventually, the wing must be either glued on or attached with rubber bands (common for many hobby-grade RC airplanes). Aside from this problem, it takes hard landings well, but should definitely be flown over a grassy area.

Although this plane isn't the most durable (not made from EPP foam) it's very powerful. It can handle a 3-4 mph wind which most planes of this size would be no match for. Experience will be you best ally when it comes to controling this bad boy. Thankfully I bought two of these when they were $20 at walmart. Get one if you can!

This review is from: Estes Sky Ranger Mini Park Flyer RC Airplane (Toy)

We bought this for a birthday present for our l0 year old boy. After 2 short flights and landing softly the motor doesn't run smooth anymore. The propeller comes off after each run. We were very disappointed. If it would work better the toy would be fun to use.
