product description accurate. moderately small, styrofoam-weight, 30 minute maximum portable recharge - compensates for running out of juice easily. first time rc plane buyer. easy to maneuver with loops after practice with throttle. st-trim adds good feature and flashing red formlights make it easy to find at dusk or night. good range, attitude, and height. climes slowly but easy to keep high. durability: multiple full speed crashes without any noticeable deterioration. however slower than other models, and most likely lacks corkscrews. inexpensive purchase for novices as myself. exciting and fun. makes park-goers jealous. probably one of the better deals on amazon.

We bought this plane for our 11 year old son. It was a great purchase. It is fast enough to be fun, but easy enough for him to operate. It even survived a maiden voyage that ended up in the lake. Highly recommended.

you need a pretty large space to fly this, and it cannot compete against wind. it it fun to fly this at night , since the LEDs tell you its direction. it lives up to what the package says it can do(looping). i have even manage to do about 10 loops nonstop before i lose control and it levels out. i also like how it charges from the controller in 30 minutes.
now the downside. even though this is a sturdy toy, the right motor burned out. no matter how much i trimmed it, the right motor can only put out 50% power, rendering the thing useless.

Well my girlfriend bought this as a B-Day gift, thinking it would be a nice entry RC Plane to play with. Well to be frank the thing stinks. Sure it does "Loop De Loops" thats all the thing does, no matter what trim you set it to or what direction you have it pointed on the remote, or how much throttle it does the same thing, spin around and around and crash into the ground within 15 seconds. I tried it on different days in different locations with ZERO WIND so I know that's not the problem. Also it's Styrofoam and maybe 5 inches in length, it's nothing more than a glorified glider with two cheap propellers whose only purpose is to make it crash into the ground harder. As for the range... 500 ft is complete BS too, the one time I actually got the thing to stay in the air more than 15 seconds (was still spinning aimlessly in circles) it was out of range and crashed (I was only about 50 feet away max.) Do yourself and whoever you're buying it for a favor, and spend more on a better plane, or better yet just buy a big Styrofoam glider, its the same thing.

Novice RC fliers will find this plane fun and easy to fly. For the first-timer who needs a plane durable enough to withstand many crashes, and agile enough to offer the challenge of learning trim control and power application, this plane is an outstanding value. With no previous experience in RC flying, I still managed to get this plane aloft and relatively under control within the first 20 minutes of flying time. I am flying over grassy areas (which helps increase the plane's life expectancy) rather than more unforgiving surfaces like concrete or asphalt. Really a Fun Flyer!

I was not happy that this was so breakable. The propeller broke within a few days & when we tried to put a new one on, it snapped. It was not worth the cost of returning for a repair, so we returned it for a refund. It was too expensive of a toy to break this easy.

Bought this for my brother in law for christmas. He LOVES it! it's very very sturdy as he's crashed it multiple times including one time in his FACE haha. the battery lasts for him I think about 20 minutes or so for flying time. I recommend this to anyone!

I was a bit hesitant about buying another R/C plane online considering the one I bought last year did not take flight. But, my son wants to be a pilot so decided to try another model and manufacturer and chose the Megatech Interceptor after reading the reviews. I am now a believer...this plane took flight and with no adult intervention (unlike last year's model which took 2 adults, 1 ten year old and still no go). My son was able to put in his batteries and out he went to fly his new plane with no worries at all. So easy to use and fun, fun, fun! As a parent who has struggled in the past with figuring out how to put a toy together or how it works, I couldn't have found a simpler solution. This toy is almost ready to go as you take it out the box....I love it!

Nice airplane at a very good price; it was about half the price of the same plane in the local hobby store. It also arrived quickly. I'm sure our angel will love it!

I play with this with my young girls, its so much fun, up and down or turning it even does loops. Awesome plain!
