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.

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.

This is a neat little plane, flies nicely, but it was not long lived -- after about a dozen flights (charges), the tail motor mysteriously suddenly slowed down and quit mid-flight. The rudder still works, and I made sure everything was charged. Don't know if the problem is the controller or the plane. Another reviewer had the same happen, so consider carefully -- I am going to buy a different brand!

This is a great item. I bought mine at Toys R Us and paid 50 bucks so Amazon is the way to go if you want to save money. The plane is somewhat durable and knowing how to fly remote control airplanes first is a must in order to enjoy it to its full potential. I have the ability to do figure eights in my living room. The battery life is excellent. 10 minutes of flight time consistently. You do have to be extremely careful flying it and land it carefully in a soft spot. It does not take off on its own and must be gently hand launched. If you are good enough, when the battery does start to go you can fly it back to yourself slowly and catch it avoiding crash landing it.

I just got this plane two days ago for my birthday. I charged it up and flew it right away. I had a blast. I crashed alot, but it was still fun. The next day I try flying it and its rotor spins slowly and then turns off. I try it again and it doesn't turn on. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm quite disapointed. For 40 dollars you think you'd get a plane that would last longer than two days. I also didn't like how they put indoor plane. I noticed it could fly outdoors, and if crashing to much was the thing that broke it, it sure would of helped flying outdoors in wide open space. Not flying around vases and chairs in my living room.

This is an amazing little indor plane,
it flies beautifully, it's a slow flier, it does not have much range, but if you have some space to play (indors) is a LOT of fun.
You wont regret buying this plane.
Personally I fly this one at work in the company loading area.
It's a blast to play with it.
I cant be happier with my purchase.

I just bought this plane on sale from radioshack for $20. It is a joy to fly and is extremeley manuverable. Other than this plane i have only flown an air hogs havoc and a havoc cyclone. The controls on this plain are simple, intuitive and produce clean reactions from the plain. if you have never flown a radio controlled vehicle, this will take some getting used to. The plane looks rather flimsy, but it has survived many crashes by me. hopefully it won't break in the future. The only downside to this plane is the lack of elavator controls, but that isn't a surpise for a product in this price range. A great plane for fliers of all ages and skill levels.

Gave this product as a gift on Christmas. The remote control broke after playing with it for a few minutes - very disappointing, as we were looking forward to flying it. Extremely fragile plane, also.

Very easy to fly and works indoors and outdoors. Suitable for older teens and adults as if can be fragile.
