5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good In-Door Flyer But Less Than a Durable Toy, December 9, 2007

This is one of the few R/C planes that can fly inside your home. Comparing to the Silverlit PalmZ, this plane is much better looking and can be more precisely controlled. However, it is twice as expensive, has a little less thrust-to-weight ratio, and has shorter flight time.

The fun factor is very high for this kind of product (yeah, flying R/C planes inside your own home! How cool is that!). But for its price, I would expect something more durable. Though the plane can take on quite a few crashes, the styrofoam wings get dented, cracked, and chip easily. I would highly recommend that you protect the edges of the wings with light weight scotch tape immediately out of the box. Such a simple protection goes a long way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get Creative!!, January 19, 2009

This review is from: Megatech Avion Airplane (Toy)

I picked this rc plane up at Radioshack for 30$. When i opened the box, i laughed at the idea of a Styrofoam plane. I had just returned two broken mini copters and i was convinced this was another gimmic. When i read the manual it said that i was expected to fix all breaks with scotch tape and glue. Now, some would say that that is the exact reason that the plane sucks, it breaks easy. I saw it as a chance to be creative. I lined the edges of the top front wings with a single layer of tape. I then used some cardboard paper to reinforce the back rotor. I also ran two toothpicks through the two front wings and glued them in place to stabilize the wings. THIS WAS SUPER FUN!!!!!!! Since then i have crash a million times, and whenever a piece looks like its going to give, i work around it. After all these stupid modifications, the plane works flawlessly and has provided endless hours of indoor fun.

The product is an electric rechargeable airplane.On the first recharge after flight the on-off-recharge switch fell off. There was no response from the on line 24 hour help service.The phone customer service representative said if I paid shipping the company would send another plane. I agreed. That was over a month ago and still no new plane.
