Do not buy this....It does not even fly...it broke the first time I tried to use it...it doesn't have enough lift power to keep it in flight.

Having seen my share of toys as a parent of six children, I don't recommend the B-29 Bomber. My son purchased this toy with a $50 gift card he received for Christmas. The shipment time was excessive & then the B-29 Bomber broke immediately after he flew it the first/only time. This was an absolute HUGE disappointment for him. If it weren't for the fact that the minimum rating is one star, I wouldn't have given this bomber any at all. Hope this helps.

Debie,

I bought one of these for my son and I to fly. You may not realize it, but this price from James is fantastic. And no, I don't work for James, I'm just a hobbiest. This plane sells for well over $100 elsewhere.

It was easy to assemble and flies great! The radio range is very good. We fly the plane in distances up to 150 yards away. The neighbors come out to watch us fly it and several others in the field behind our home. The field is about 90 acres large.

As the instructions say, don't try to fly it when there is a breeze, at it is very light and easily affected by the wind. Wait until it is calm, around 6pm.

The only problem we had at first was, the controller wouldn't work at a range of more than 5 feet from the airplane. I thought it was the battery. I took the wing off and inspected the antenna and wiring.

I found the connection between the motors and the controller, which you plug together when assembling the plane, was not a good fit. I squeezed the connections together better and that solved the radio problem.

We liked it so much and the price is so good that we bought two more in case we destroy the first one.

Also, that gave us a couple more batteries to have charged for use. Now we can fly the plane for an easy half an hour, simply by replacing the battery with a spare when it runs down.

One caution. Stay away from trees and don't fly it too high. When the battery gets too low you will lose radio contact with the plane and while it won't crash, it will glide... a long way. This happened once to us and I had to chase it through a swampy area and into an adjoining field to retrieve it.

Repair is simple. Use the cement supplied with the plane. Apply to the broken area and simply press the pieces back together, then put a piece of the supplied tape over the seam. It will be stronger than before the breakage!

God bless.

This plane is made of styrofoam. I paid $60 plus $11 S&H and on its first flight crashed and broke. It is flimsy and not air worthy. I expected more than a pice of styrofoam and cardstock for this plane and for the cost. I will say the vendor did ship another model but it too is part styrofoam and broke to piece on its first flight. I would not buy this again.

I gave it a one star because the computer would not go on until I rated it something. I got this toy for my son as a christmas gift and did not open it until christmas. On Christmas day he opened it and wanted to fly it and it would not work. When I went on line to Amazon.com I found out that I could not return it after 30 days. So now I am stuck with a plane that does not work after spending >$50.00's for it, can't get it worked on, plus I had to buy my child one to replace it. I went to a hobby shop to get this one so I can have it worked on when something happens to it.
