This review is from: Estes Turbo Thruster RC Jet (Toy)

This plane is about as fragile a remote-control airplane that I've ever seen!

After 5 minutes in a 200 x 200 yard field, I had to stop and repair both wings and the tail fin. And I've had lots of experience flying styrofoam R-C planes...

Stick with Airhogs products, their styrofoam is much more durable.
