RC Float Plane Ready To Fly Review

RC Float Plane Ready To Fly
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This electric RC float plane is similar to a Wilga 2000 float plane with some variations, most notably in the cowl shape and in the elevator design. This plane is nicely made, easily assembled and can be ready to fly within a couple of hours if you're mechanically inclined. It is not ready to fly out of the box so do not be fooled by the title of this product. Assembly and adjustment are required. Also note that the aileron servo needs to be moved to the horizontal position before being hooked to the push rods. This can be done by unscrewing the control arm and re-attaching it in the correct position, but be careful removing it. Have fun following the directions. :) My box was missing the wing screws, and the plastic ends for the push rods are flimsy, connect with caution. Other than that, have fun!

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.

RC Airplane Super Sonic Review

Another purchase for my grandson and although he is enjoying playing with it, it is a mess. Plane is all styrofoam and had to be put together. First time he flew it, it flew for about 10 seconds and crashed down nose first. Pushed the nose inward and all the wings fell off. Lost the landing gear. Had to keep repairing it with packing tape. Antennea broke off of the radio controller. All this happened within the first half hour. Wouldn't recommend this at all. But the grandson loves it. lol

Super Sonic RC Model Airplane R/C SYMA 9399 Training Plane ARF Radio Control Aircraft Review

Super Sonic RC Model Airplane R/C SYMA 9399 Training Plane ARF Radio Control Aircraft
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What a total disappointment. It is so true, you get what you pay for. If the total cost of the plane with S&H was $20.00 I could see, but no, I paid $32.60. Virtually Indestructible was used to describe this plane. What exactly does "Virtually" mean. The nose on the A/C bent up on the first flight with a fairly easy landing. By the end of the third flight the little black nose tip and the entire front end were a crushed mass of bend up strudy foam. And get this... The solid foam construction, well this gave way and the electronics pack w/ the battery were up in the front of the A/C as well. And to beat all the horizontal Stab broke.
I know, I know, you're thinking yeah right... I have been flying RC a/C for years. I was going to introduce my son to an A/C he might be able to handle. Heck, his father couldn't! The first flight was a beautiful long graceful flight. Perfect landing. The next two attempts, the plane never got ten feet off the ground before winging over into the ground. No, Not pilot error! The A/C was trashed out in less than 10 minutes. Oh, and the battery, what a joke! We got one flight. Less than ten minutes. Needless to say...Do not waste your time or money on this product. It is a let down. Bought mine at [...] Don't make the mistake I did...

The glider can fly nice and long, but it is very fragile. Glue the wings and insert the rear elevator (wing) upside down, and throw it gently straight forward. Avoid any hard surfaces or pieces will fall off when it hits the ground. The foam material quality is for packaging, not for toys.

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.

Easy Star Electric, RTF (colors may vary) Review

Easy Star Electric, RTF (colors may vary)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I asked friends about a simple plane to fly for a beginner they pointed me to the Easy Star. When I saw the price of the RTF (Ready to Fly) model I about $%*% my pants! It seemed awfully expensive for an airplane made out of foam.
I quickly realized why it was so expensive. The radio system is excellent. This isn't something someone put together with parts from Radio Shack. This is a quality plane made with above the bar parts.
Everything from the plane itself to the electronics will blow your mind. The wingspan is large enough to impress friends. The receiver is 4 channel and the servos are micro so this setup can be moved into another plane as your level of experience and tastes change.
I have crashed this plane once and my friends have crashed it twice. Well, to be honest, I have crashed it more than 10 times to varying degrees. But the only time it broke I just glued it back together. Now it is nicknamed FrankenPlane. You can barely see the cracks where I glued it, the foam hides them well.
If you are a beginner and you know you will crash, get this plane.
TIPS - When checking the center of gravity (you will see what I mean in the instructions if you are a complete newbie) make sure to hold it by your finger tips under the wings where the lines (you mark) are at, not the body of the plane. The wings.
Put a small piece of tape on the front and back of the canopy.
Glue in the tail and rear wings instead of using their included double sided tape.
Check and RECHECK the elevator (up and down flap on the tail wing) to make 100% sure it is moving up or down the way it is intended to! I didn't and it turned out the up/down joystick was BACKWARDS so on my first flight I promptly ran it into the ground. Because the radio system is top-notch, switching it is as easy as reversing a plug in the transmitter and the back is screwless so no pulling out and putting back in 8 screws like on other models.
Make sure you are 3 (three) miles away from any airfields that might have radio controlled planes flying on them. I found a perfect field to fly in and it turned out that a radio controlled air field was only a little over 1 mile away. That was my only big crash (from about 200 feet). Once the plane got about 1/2 a mile away from me it began to take its instructions from someone else at the airfield.

The Easy Star was designed for first-time pilots in mind, and offers incredibly stable flight characteristics and durability. Powered by a powerful Speed 400 motor mounted on the top so a hard landing won't break the prop or hurt the motor. The Easy Star flies with little input and has the ability to recover easily. Made from Multiplex's durable "Elapor" foam, the Easy Star will take a tremendous amount of abuse without breaking. And, if it does break, it is easily repaired with CA (super) glue. Even after many crashes during the learning process, the Easy Star will be ready for more and is sure to still be around to teach someone else to fly when other trainers would be ready for the trash can!

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.

If you are new to a flyer, I recommend getting a simulator. You can get a cheap 6ch simulator control on ebay for $23. I am a new to RC airplane. I crashed this plane 4 time before it would fly. Remember to fully read the manual before moving flying it etc like triming. The last trip last me 30 sec before it crashed 20 feet from a dive. It was my fault. I fully repair the crash using the provided glue. This a a very good price for 4 channel 54" powered glider. The down side is it could have come with LiPo battery. 9.6V is not
