RC Airplane, 2CH RC Plane Ready to Fly, 2.4GHz C-17 Remote Control Airplane with 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer Globemaster III Military Transport Aircraft for Beginners Boys Kids Adults Patent Pending

UPDATE 6/19/35: Had and issue and customer service took care of it AND followed up they everything was well. Updated review from 4 stats to 5.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this as a gift for a 9-year-old who wants to become a pilot. He had been playing flight simulator games for almost a year now (X-Plane). So, what better birthday gift than a remote controlled-plane, right? I knew that a RC helicopter would not be something he would enjoy.First, one must clearly understand that each city may have laws that regulate where RC planes/helicopters can or cannot fly. So, be sure to operate this at a park where they are allowed. Some may require a "pilot" license.Second, unlike a helicopter, a plane requires a small runway for take off and landing.The plane was operable right out of the box and the controls took some getting used to, but once we had it figured out, we were able to perform some stunts (like flying it upside down for a few SHORT seconds -- this plane design does not lend for some flying positions).What amazed us was how FAST this plane goes! The only down side is that the battery only lasts for a few minutes (about 30 mins), but those minutes are worth while for the children who get to play with it.Although the plane felt light (and as a result, flimsy), it was relatively durable during the few times it landed hard (the boy did not yet know how to pull up the nose for a softer landing). I CAN imagine it potentially falling apart when hitting trees at specific angles and speeds, but for the price I paid, that would be expected by me.Overall, not bad of a plane. The boy is happy, and so is my wife and I. Hopefully, this will help support his dream in becoming a pilot.

The airplane is a one time use product, broke after the first flight, in search for a good RC airplane that doesn’t break after one use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is an excellent plane for the novice flyer. Customer support was great. I enthusiastically advise you to purchase this product. Bottom line-this plane is fun to fly.

Great remote controlled airplane, (VERY) long range capability. So use it in a large open area free of structures. If you don't want to lose it in trees or on a rooftop.

My husband is an airplane fanatic and loves to study them and watch videos about them, especially the accident videos because he likes to determine the causes of what went wrong and see if he can determine himself the causes before hearing about it. At one point he wanted to be a pilot himself but alas, life leads elsewhere. This was a no brainer and the amount of time he spends with it, studying it and learning all he can about it makes him a happy camper. He enjoys flying it around and learning the ins and outs of it and it has rekindled his love even greater than before, so much so in fact that he is hoping to take some lessons and learn to fly small craft. In fact, I will be buying more of your products after this with different models.Considering that you can fly multiple crafts at a time and have them not interfere with one another has made him even happier because he feels it is like a pilot learning how to do it for real in the real thing.

Broke easily, hard to maneuver in the air because it is so light

The media could not be loaded. Well, we tried. After 3 mins the airplane caught the wind and was stuck in the tree. Than we went to the school yard to lose all the tires (horrible directions) engine falling off and propeller falling off. Why I gave it a 2 ⭐ just because for the 45 mins we did fly it, it was fun. But can't use it Again.Happy extra parts came with so the team knew there would be issues.The whole thing was falling apart and so fragile. Not ideal for kids or clumsy adults. No made to last.
