1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money, November 24, 2002

If your looking for fun, don't waste your money on this plane. I had read all six of the review listed for this airplane and saw only one poor review, so I got it thinking everyone else was right about it. I have been flying model airplanes on and off for 12 years now. This is a very poorly designed aircraft. The Battery box is located in the bottom of the nose. Which makes the latch that holds it on subject to any less then perfect landings. In two flights I have broken this latch both times. Which was fine the first time since it comes with and extra latch, but now what? Landing gear would have save this problem along with broken props and triming after takeoff. The 3 cannel that it comes with offers no reverse servos switch. I say no to this product and would suggest a Vectron, blackhawk which is land linked but is far more entertaining and for 1/3 the cost.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Toy, November 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: - Megatech Megastealth 2 RTF Flying Wing with 3 Channel Radio - 9901 (Toy)

This toy was extremely terrible and poorly made. We could not even get it to fly. It broke on the first landing - expect the same if you purchase it. This plane is actually a $230.00 piece of foam and tape that breaks and does not fly. My son and I were very dissapointed. Not even worth a nickel.

Very upset.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks Cool When It Flies, But..., July 24, 2002

This review is from: - Megatech Megastealth 2 RTF Flying Wing with 3 Channel Radio - 9901 (Toy)

Very durable plane. It has to be considering how many times it crashed. I have only had three flights for 30 - 45 seconds out of approximately 75 - 100 attempts. The rest of the time the plane nose dived as soon as I hand lunched it. It doesn't seem to have the power that everyone else claims it has. I have replaced the motor and gears with Megatech replacement parts. In addition, I made sure the battery is charged. However, the plane still doesn't want to fly.

Finally, because the battery compartment cover never wanted to stay on, I lost it during one of the crashes. There were even a few times that it fell off before the plane crashed.

All of this is very disappointing considering how much the plane costs.
