5.0 out of 5 stars Not a toy! It's a hobby!, April 21, 2010

Got this plane for my 13 year old two years ago for Christmas. He has shown an interest in RC planes and we selected the SkyFly 2 after some research. No, it is not a toy! It does not come out of the box and fly like a kite. It takes practice, patience, and a lot of glue and package tape until you learn. We have had many crashes in the first year and were always able to tape or glue it back together. After the first month or so he became quite skilled at it. Once you learn this plane flies like an eagle!. A year later, it is still flying and we look forward to going to the field together whenever we can. He flies, I crash, but we have fun. Now 14 and on to 4 channel Piper Cubs

Two most important things: Do not try to fly in winds above 5 - 7 mph, and if you are really interested get a flight simulator for your computer that has the actual model planes on so you can get the feel of how they handle.

Bought this for my son's birthday. Battery indicator said the plane battery was charged; new batteries in the remote -- we have yet to get the motor to turn on. Major disappointment. We're sending the battery charger to the company under warranty. Hopefully that will work. Still...

Don't waste your time with this one!! Went to the hobby store to get a mini Super Cub with Anti-Crash technology for my son, his experienced uncle recommended. The owner convinced me the Sky Fly was better and easier. Got it home and the battery failed. Took it back. They took a battery out of another box. That battery failed. Plane is not forgiving and flies to fast to learn. Never had it in the air for over 30 seconds. Now there's no lift at all in the plane, store owner can't figure it out. Won't climb!! Best nose dives into the dirt we have ever seen when it did fly. Worst experience for my son and refused to fly the plane. I had to drag him to the park to fly it and he won't touch it. His uncle said this was an intermediate to advance plane. He had a difficult time flying. This must be flown in NO wind. What a waste for a beginner! No what a waste period. Truly this is a disappointing plane as it ruined a father & son experience and introduction into a new hobby. We went back and bought a mini Super Cub (ACT)and my son can't wait to fly it.
