Reader Reviews I bought this thing thinking it would be a good entry level rc plane. Turns out it isn't very good. I've flown other rc planes and helicopters without much difficulty, but this thing is a pain. It basically doesn't fly in wind above 0.00001 mph. If there is any sort of wind, be prepared to have it crash when you attempt to turn away from the wind. Getting the plane to actually start flying is the hardest part. After a few launch failures the body of the plane actually broke in half! That was from crashing (propellers weren't strong enough to keep it in the air) from 5 feet in the air onto thick grass. I would have expected that from throwing it nose first into cement, but this?! The steering is ok at best, and trying to tap the joystick the correct number of times to bring it out of a turn is a chore. Save your money, it is not worth paying $65 for. There are much better rc planes out there for the same price.
