Product Description

Flies Over 100 Yards On One Charge! -- Requires No Assembly! -- This tiny little (10" wing span) plane packs real flying power. Simply hold it on the charge rod of the provided charging device for 10 seconds and give it a gentle toss. -- The E-charger will fly on its own for up to 100 yards. With a little practice you can learn to make your E-charger do stunts. -- The E-charger is also surprisingly durable-with its solid foam body: it can hit the ground again and again and still be ready to fly. Charger requires 4 "AA" batteries (not included). Styles may vary.

I think this plane is pretty cool. It does break easily, however super glue will fix most breaks. My son just turned 6 and he can get the plane to fly for a long while. I've been concerned a few times that it may get stuck on the neighbors roof. This is a neat toy that you will enjoy as long as you don't expect it to last more than a week or so of repeated use. I do wish they sold the planes alone without the charger, to save a little money when replacing.

This review is from: E-Chargers Micro Plane Vortex (Toy)

We purchased our (two) hogs at wally world for about ten bucks each. The charger uses 4 AA batteries. The directions say to charge the airplane for about ten seconds, and to let the motor cool down for about two minutes betwen flights (cough... "flights"). You plug the charger into the plane, push a button, and the prop starts to spin up. In theory, you then throw the airplane and it flies away under prop power until the charge on the motor trickles out (about 20 seconds). In practice, the plane flies like a rock, only not as far.

I was not very happy with this product. I guess you get what you pay for....it does not fly like it claims. It basically takes off and does a nose dive. My son was really excited to see it fly and then he was let down.
