4.0 out of 5 stars R/C Flying Superman - Up, up and away...., July 3, 2006

This review is from: R/C Flying Superman Figure (Toy)

I am an avid R/C enthusiast - I couldn't wait to try this toy and see if it really flew! So here is the scoop....
1) There should be almost NO wind present if you want any chance of a successful flight - resist the temptation to fly in gusty or strong winds. 2) The right and left controls are VERY sensistive - a turn requires about one second of control input - any more than that and the turn will become a massive SPIRAL - it looks cool - but you may only get one chance to see it! 3) Fly in a LARGE open area.. Bottom line - very cool toy - It does fly, in fact it looks very cool in flight. It is very quick for a plane like this. If you have low wind, go easy on the controls and have a big area to fly it in you should have a blast - if not, choose something else so your not disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superman Flies!, September 22, 2006

swiftgabe (Hampton, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: R/C Flying Superman Figure (Toy)

First, let me say, this is the first RC plane of any type that I have ever flown. After thouroghly reading the instructions last night, this afternoon I took Supes on his maiden voyage. I did have some crashes, but after about 10 - 20 minutes of trial and error, I started getting some decent flights. I admit I was skeptical at first, but this thing actualy does fly! It does have a tendency to veer to the right, but once I got the hang of it I was able to fairly easily compensate for it by steering in the other direction (I have not tried using the included weights to balance it yet). Keys to a successful flight: 1) needs a LARGE open area: for example, we used a soccer field 2)wind must be relatively calm 3)follow the instructions for proper release/launch. When you're flying you'll probably want to keep it over a soft grassy area, Supes earned a few battle scars landing in the road (nothing major though). I must say, my son and I had a blast watching him fly!

Note: It may be a little too difficult for younger kids to fly themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a flying superman, June 8, 2006

This review is from: R/C Flying Superman Figure (Toy)

This toy is very fun. It takes about an hour to learn to fly it and to properly weight the wings. You definitely need a litle wind to keep it in the air. Do not be discouraged by the crashes in the beginning. Make sure you fly it in a big open field - it is a pain to get it out of a tree. Be patient and have fun. This toy is great for all comic fans and for r/c beginners who want an inexpesive and duarble r/c plane.
