Estes Viper RC Airplane with Motion Sensing Control Review

Estes Viper RC Airplane with Motion Sensing Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a very amateur RC plane enthusiast, I have tried (and crashed) several different airplanes from Air Hogs, Estes, and others. This is the only plane that I was completely unable to get into the air before it self-destructed. As another review states, the controller seems to lose touch with the plane. The "motion" controller is not really motion sensitive--it is only "on/off" for direction, which makes it very difficult even for an adult to try to fly, much less give it to a child. The plane always took a nose dive to the left as soon as it got airborne, no matter which direction the control was in. After an hour or so and many crashes later, it finally hit the ground with the wing and broke it off at the motor--completely unrepairable. We have an Air Hogs Jet Scream plane that I finally got comfortable with, and it is MUCH more durable and more fun that this Viper. No matter how many crashes with the Jet Scream, it has virtually no damage because it is so lightweight. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this plane, unless you really want to torture a 10 year-old and his dad.

Blizzard Glider ARF Review

Blizzard Glider ARF
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had two flights, fast but not super fast. I am still trying out props and adaptors looking for the right wattage for my setup. A 10x6 folding prop pulls about 300 watts, about where I want to be (a 9x6 fixed prop pulls about 400W). This was a time consuming build. A lot of fiberglass reinforcement has to be glued in slots provided on both the fuselage, wings and tail. All in all, I think I will be very happy with it. It is beautiful to look at, as fast as my skill level, and very stable in the sky. I recommend the "Blizzard" to anyone who has the patience and time to put two or three days into assembly. I think it is worth it.

The Blizzard is a high-performance Sport Liner model that pushes the envelope of the ELAPOR® technology. Built with the highest quality materials the Blizzard utilizes Glass Reinforced Plastic longerons and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic spars to give it the torsional rigidity needed for its high performance flight characteristics. When built with the recommended power pack the Blizzard has the power for vertical hand-launches, breath-taking high-speed passes and thanks to the thin 8.9% airfoil the Blizzard is no slouch when it comes to riding the thermals either.

Radian RTF Review

Radian RTF
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ok, you have mastered the RC simulator on your PC, and the Ember 2 in your back yard...THIS is the perfect plane for #3. Great great great. My daughter (10) flies it every chance. It is not fully acrobatic as described in the first review (no ailerons), but it will do loops and spirals. Get it to altitude, shut the power down and enjoy some great gliding.

Equipped with 3-channel control and Spektrum 2.4GHz radio technology, the Radian can be flown without the worry or risk of interference. Although a powerful 480 brushless motor enables initial launch, the propeller soon folds back to reduce drag, freeing the plane to utilize thermals of air to remain aloft, instead of batteries. That means flight times for this quiet and eco-friendly alternative are much longer than they are with traditional electric aircraft, making a relaxing day in the great outdoors even better. Like all of ParkZone’s innovative and high-quality aircraft, the Radian looks great right out of the box and provides pilots with the control and reliability they seek in a park flyer. The plane’s large 2-meter wingspan and elliptical dihedral design improve flight performance and visibility from the ground, while plug-in wings provide for easy transportation and storage. Not only does the Radian’s lightweight Z-Foam™ construction offer the perfect balance of weight and durability, it also makes repairs simple and quick. Since everything needed to get the Radian airborne is included inside, you are only minutes away from the ultimate soaring adventure.

Under powered for the size of plane it is. The NiMh batteries don't hold much of a charge .Maybe I just got a bum set! Not very likely that there were two bad batteries in thr same kit. I still have not had it in the air for more than a minute. I wish I had bought a Radian from ParkZone for a hundred dollars more.
