Rechargeable Radio Controlled Airplane

Comments about Rechargeable Radio Controlled Airplane:

I bought 3 of these, one for me and two for my nephews. We had a great time, but crashed all 3. Bought replacement wings at Harbor Freight cheap. Subsequent to this purchase, I bought the Wild Hawk. The Wild Hawk flies MUCH MUCH better. I downloaded a free RC flight simulator (FMS). This will help you be successful with any new RC plane. Practice on the sim before you fly! Looking forward to trying this plane again after I put it together again. Online videos of this plane show many people crashing it. This plane has two channels; 3 or 4 channels would allow you to control the plane much better. Advice--buy the Wild Hawk or the Piper Cub J3.

This airplane does not have any of the usual control surfaces like ailerons, elevators, rudder, or flaps. It works by having two motors and varying the speed. This requires larger areas to take off, land, and turn with little control. The construction is somewhat flimsy, but is usually repairable, so I give it two stars just for being able to repair it with tape after crashing. However, compared to other rear motor trainer style planes with 4 channels (costing closer to $100) it just does not have the control surfaces needed to fly in an average size parking lot, or long term usefullness. It is almost dangerous for beginners who may have a hard time keeping it inside their flying area if they get it flying at all.

I have owned four of these planes and have gotten friends to buy this as well. These planes fly very, very well. There is a secret though.. You MUST adjust the angle of attack on the tail wing. If there is too much of an angle the tail is going to force the plane almost straght up, then the plane will nose dive, this is refered to a "porpoise" effect. You want to adjust the tail so the plane will fly horizontal, with just a little lift at full throttle. Don't get discouraged with this plane, once you have this adjusted you will have a lot of fun with this thing. I am able to do touch and goes (I had to buy a better set of landing gear from a hobby shop to allow this) If you do crash, most of the time the damage can be fixed with clear packing tape, and your off in the air again. Sometimes we would have four planes up in the air at one time and TRY to crash into each other, it was a lot harder to do then we thought it would be. I think we only had one in air collision and the two planes recovered in the air and we kept flying. Great deal of fun for the money!

first off, i should of read the reviews. wasn't the brightest time in my life. more of an impulse buy. second, the directions don't make too much sense and are very vague. third, the flight... if that what you want to call it. i couldn't trim the plane enough to over come its horrible flight characteristics. anyhow, the 27.165 MHZ controller found a lot of interference from any CB in a 20 mile radius. anyway, not really anything you would want for a beginner. my son and i were pretty disappointed, but did get a good laugh on it's last glide nose first into concrete. all i can say is plastic shouldn't bounce that much.

first time i flew this plane it got away from me fast i was surprised at how fast it was.Of course the landing did,t go to well and as of now its hanging on the wall waiting for a new tail wing.I would recomend it for new flyers because it is an easy fly.

the 1st 1 i was flying at nite a wind came it was gone i could here it running 4 a little bit but the road noise got me.

I went & got a new the next day. it is best to fly in a park with no trees i get lazy & try flying it by the house to many trees but i love it . it gives me something to do.

i got this plane for my 13th birthday , it is a bit flimsy and "weak" but after about 5 , 5 second flights and one taped up wing it flew very very well in an open field .


it takes a while to learn how to land ... its harder than you think ! just glide plane down to about 6 feet and turn off the engine. i highly recommend taping the wings with clear packaging tape , and also never ever fly on a day with wind more than 3 mph...


when you get more familiar with this plane you will be able to do dives and even.. flips! yes flips! it happen to me accidentally when i i pulled throttle all the way towards the wind ... this plane is so so easy to fly when its in the right place at the right time .. this plane is also very durable, meaning if you total the plane, all you need is glue, tape, and you're flying again ... you wont be sorry! great buy!

I have never flown a plane in my life. took this out of the box broke the wing on first try. i fixed it and have had nothing but fun with it. it is not that hard to fly , i watched a couple of videos on you tube that helped a lot. i also got the p51 but have not dared to try that one yet. i want to get the hang of this one first. it is an excellent plane and i recommend it to anyone. has anyone had the battery catch on fire yet?
