Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: NEED SPARE PARTS!!!!!!! Comment: This is a really neat piece of kit. No mucking around putting it together! - you just take it out of the box, charge it and FLY. It could have been the complete package if you could only get spare parts like wheels and props! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Fun Comment: I received my plane for Christmas, but this weekend (9th & 10th Feb) is the first time the weather has been suitable to fly it. My previous RC plane was a PowerZ, which didn't last 2 weekends but this claimed to be indestructable, so I was keen to test it. Unlike my last plane, this has no moveable surfaces, but is controlled by the twin engines. It took about a dozen attempts to get used to it, but once I found the technique, flying is a doddle. My plane has a tendancy to veer right, so it requires a bit of left throttle to keep it straight. I found that too much banking would induce an unrecoverable dive and too much full throttle would increase the climb and cause a stall. The trick is gentle, counteractive movements; this isn't a stunt plane. My wife and daughter have also flown it with varying degrees of success, but, despite a few nosedives, it's still in one piece. I think it's great fun, but you need a large open space(no trees), patience and hardly a breath of wind. It's so light, it would be impossible to control in any kind of breeze. Customer Rating: Summary: Doesn't Fly Comment: What's good about this remote controlled plane is that recharging only takes about 10 minutes - from the battery powered remote control. Some other r/c planes, cars, and helicopters takes HOURS! However, we can't get our plane to fly - and we've tried countless times. The propellers go round when you hold it, or the plane is on the ground, but when you let go - the propellers stop. Customer Rating: Summary: Avoid this fragile toy Comment: My son tried to fly the plane for the first time today - it failed to lift on a calm dry day and on the second "landing" into soft grass the propeller snapped in two. Unfortunately this plane falls some way short of the description on the box - it doesn't fly and is certainly not indestructible. In my opinion, it's very fragile - avoid it. Customer Rating: Summary: It really is indestructable Comment: but difficult to get the hand of flying it - especially when it's slightly windy - but it does what it says on the box ! First flight was on a beach.. crashed a huge number of times into cliffs, sand, my partner ! - and it still Flies (ideal!) - GREAT FUN FOR ALL AGES More Reviews
