Megatech Night Flyer 2 Channel Illuminated Remote Control Airplane

Reader Reviews
If you want to get started in RC Airplanes this is a pretty good choice because it works and it is inexpensive. I took mine out and got some really nice flights. It has a pretty good range on it. This was with no wind and I recommend you make your first flight session in no or very little wind. When the wind kicked up I had trouble getting it to fly. About the batteries. There is a little battery that you put into the plane to make the prop turn. This can be charged up from the included hand-held transmitter/controller in about ten minutes which is very convenient.(You dont have to go home to charge it back up, just plug it into the transmittter for 10 minutes) The transmitter itself requires 8 AA batteries so make sure you buy some of these. And I recommend rechargeable ones. Durability: This kind of plane needs to be superlight and this one is. The fuselage is a light plastic and the wing unit is a styrofoam. But is reasonably durable; I have had numerous crashes and it is still intact. But the props break sometimes and it comes with 3 extras which you will need. After multiple crashes my plane is still in good shape. Overall: Decent place to start because it is super cheap and it flies. Its going to make you want to upgrade to bigger and better. Makes for a nice saturday afternoon adventure for dad and the kids. Read all the instructions and tips before you fly. It makes a difference. They even have a telephone number you can call and they call it the free flight school. Kind of neat but I didn't need to call it. Flight time: I get somewhere around 10-15 minutes of flight time before it needs a recharge. This probably varies a lot depending on how you fly it.
