Worth Every Penny, Lots of Fun to Park Fly,

This review is from: ParkZone Ember 2 BNF (Toy)
I got my EMBER2 to "get my stick back" after not flying RC for 25 years. Great radio control airplane that's also a Very Good buy. It is unbelievably light, but can fly remarkably well in a light breeze (notice that I said "breeze", not "wind"). When the breeze gets to be light wind, you can almost hover in place overhead. Multiple inside loops are not a problem. Although the EMBER2 does fly "faster" than the Vapor, it is still quite docile and flies pretty much hands off when trimmed properly.It bound to my Spektrum DX5e with no problems. The supplied PZ transmitter works well, but for sure bind your EMBER2 over to your DX5e/DX6i if you have one. I give this feather of an airplane a five-star durable rating due to its amazing weight. I have nosed my into the grass a few times with little or no damage (be sure to check that the battery hasn't dislodged after this happens). If you are thinking about your first RC park flier or, like me, you are looking to get those old flying brain cells working again, this is a great radio control RTF package to get. I liked this little critter so much that I ordered it's big brother, the Slo-V, because these things are just plain fun to fly. Even when I get my chops back and start flying my Radian, I'll still be keeping & flying my EMBER2. If you get one you will be flying & smiling. Worth every penny.

This review is from: ParkZone Ember 2 BNF (Toy)
I doubt I could have chosen a better plane for my situation - most of the time I'm limited to flying in a outdoor lot surrounded by large trees. This has kept me from attempting r/c for years, but with the Ember 2 this is no longer an issue.Assembly couldn't be easier. If you've ever installed the landing gear on a drug store sheet balsa rubber powered plane, you already know what to do. Binding to the transmitter is simple and takes only seconds using the directions. I have no area smooth enough to attempt runway takeoffs, but gentle hand launches are all it takes to get into the air. I normally "tip launch" by holding the tip of one wing and gently "flinging" it into the air under 75-80% throttle. Once in the air, maintaining full throttle will have your Ember 2 nothing but a speck in the sky. Throttle moderation makes the flight times longer, and reduces the severity of crashes. Flight times are from about 7 minutes at near full throttle to as long as 10-15 minutes with the help of the wind and a steady hand on the controls. Warnings about wind: Yes, everything you've heard is true - small planes do not do well in wind and gusts, but since this is not a mass market toy, it is the possibility of adapting it to fly in higher wind by moving the battery forward and incorporating down elevator trim. With these modifications, the Ember 2 made a surprisingly good slope soarer. Today's flights were made in 7 mph wind with gusts to 10 mph. This is not recommended to those without experience. I appreciate the challenge of flying it in the wind, but it can be a handful. Not to mention, once the wind has it's way with your Ember 2, it may be further away than you think possible, and bringing it back safely can be challenging to say the least. Indoor flying is not something I haven't had the luxury of trying yet, but there is no reason not to expect this plane to do exceptionally well indoors after my experiences with outdoor flight. This is a precision device with lots of small parts which are delicate and need to be treated with respect. This is not to say the plane is fragile, but rather not to expect to thrash the ground repeatedly and expect it to respond favorably. It was built to fly, not crash. That being said, I've drifted into the trees a couple times and cartwheeled once and only managed to crack the elevator. The fact that the plane is light helps prevent it from having a great deal of destructive inertia in a crash. In a clear field of 4-8" high grass, you'd be hard pressed to cause any damage to the plane if crashes are done at 0 throttle. One of the most enjoyable gadgets I've bought in a great while. Wholly recommended.

This review is from: ParkZone Ember 2 BNF (Toy)
I have flown R/C airplanes for 25 years. There is no better beginners plane, it practically flies itself. Very high quality, robust. The perfect starter plane for my 10-year old child. In anything more than 5mph winds, you should stay on the ground. You can use a larger capacity (120-160 mAh) battery to both increase weight (and thereby air speed) and flight times.
