This flimsy plane lasted for two very short "flights" (7 seconds) before the crash damage rendered it useless. I bought a Firefly for my daughter's birthday. It was the "big" present, out of all her presents - the one she was looking forward to the most. Out of the box I noticed that it was kinda flimsy - very thin styrofoam wings. When discharging the battery as instructed by the manual, by holding it in hand while powering the props, I noticed that about halfway through the charge, in "climb" mode for both engines, one engine seemed to have less power (I noticed it more by sound rather than revolution or pull).The next day we tried it out. I told my 8 year old daughter I'd fly it for the first few flights until she could watch and learn the controls and their effects enough to control it. Our first flight lasted 5 seconds, until the plane turned and took a nose dive from about 3 feet off the ground. When I picked it up, I noticed a slight nick in the wing behind one engine and surmised that the wind must have flex forward enough for the prop to take a bite out of it. The second flight lasted two seconds - enough time for the plane to turn and dive, again from about three feet off the ground. The second crash broke the tail. That was it. I paid $50 for 7 seconds of "enjoyment". I know Megatech has a replacement guarantee, but what fool would pay this company another $40 for another 7 seconds of "enjoyment". Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
