Easy to Fly

Dec 31, 2019

This must be the ultimate beginners plane, easy to assemble, easy to fly. Being a medium size, it's great to fly around the local footy field. I love to take her up high then glide down, then a little power and touch and go landing. Also flies well at low level on slow speed. Battery lasts long. I love this plane.

Once I got it trimmed out it flies very well and fast.

Great little plane!

Oct 21, 2019

This is a well made, great little plane. It’s become my go-to plane. Perfect for an area the size of a baseball field. It’s very resilient, as I have been kind of hard on it. I would definitely recommend this plane!

Best park flyer

Oct 04, 2019

Haven't found another similar <1m wingspawn trainer elsewhere.
Very mellow and inexpensive flyer. Can tend to be tail-heavy, even with a 800mAh battery, therefore, don't skip CG balancing and just load a couple of coins in the canopy if needed – very stable and easy to trim otherwise.
Other than that, this plane is a joy to fly. Can be fast at times so if that's your first plane, please spend a couple of hours on simulator first to get yourself some muscle-memory.
Rolls and loops easy. After some practice, half of a soccer field is big enough to fly.
Design is eye-catchy and very easy to glue-back should the inevitable happens.
Would definitely rebuy again (had lost one on top of a tree as i was very very noob). I'll recommend you to not delay as some retailer told me this model is supposedly no longer in production and I haven't found another park-sized equivalent glider yet.

Good "extra"

Aug 05, 2019

A good "spare" plane. A little fast for small fields but easy to transport. So small it's easy to lose orientation at much distance; however when that occurs and it flies into a tree so hard the battery and canopy must be found in the tall grass, it suffers literally no damage even after being poked out the tree 20 feet above.
