This is a very good 2 channel plane, however it's really not intended to by flown outdoors, it's just to light and any small breeze will take the plane with it.

In terms of performance under the wind is very similar to the parkzone Ember, they are very light, so in order to fly them comfortably outside you will need 0-3 mph wind conditions.

The plane is very very slow, this enables you to fly it in small spaces, it's much bigger than other indoor planes, but due to it's stable fly characteristics and simple 2 channel control, it can be flown almost any indoor space.

I highly recommend this plane for indoor flight only, unless you are in a no-wind location.
