WOW big disappointment with this kit. Bought it because it was supposed to be ready to fly. The clutches were so tight I had trouble trimming the elevator out. Same problem with the ailerons. Wing cables were too short and had to add extenders. Radio did work and would not program so had to switch to another radio system. The plane flies great when you get passed the glitches. If I didn't have to send back to HK I would ask for refund. bought lots of Hobby King before but this time my experience was really bad.

VERY, VERY, VERY, good beginner plane! I would suggest at least a little experience on a sim or out at the nearest club for some stick time, but if your looking for a great, slow, plane than this is it! I have enjoyed it very much and will until something fatal happens. :) Hope this helps future beginners in their future, fun filled, hobby of RC aircraft!

Guys, I can't even write a review on this airplane. It's so good, beyond compare of any other plane IN THE WORLD. I added lights to mine, handled it fine. Added a GoPro, handled it fine. I literally call it "old reliable" ITS SO GOOD, you need to get it.... GET IT!!! Whenever I want a nice, relaxing flight, guess which plane I take out to show the friends and family? Old Reliable. By the way, no need for flaps on this bird.

Super nice flyer ! A tip : If you will use optional servos for flaps , DON'T hot glue or C/A them into the slots as said in the manual, if a servo burns up you wouldn't be able to replace it without damaging the wings....simply use some double sided tape to secure the servo and use normal tape over the servo.

This is the best plane for a beginner. The only dislikes I have are
1) The small cockpit opening once you moved past beginner makes it a challenge to add anything like FVP or OSD without having to cut open a new door somewhere
2) The wing attachment. Great if you have a car big enough to transport the plane fully assembled but if you have to take the wings on and off every time you go for a flight it's a nightmare
It's a great plane though so worth every cent to make up for the two issues above :-)

Great first plane! Great value! Easy to assemble, the 2 wing screws are a little hard to align. Only had a couple hours on a cheap simulator. First throw was the scariest. But it flew well and is quite stable. And glides awesome too.

Great, simply great. I love this plane and I am really enjoing it. It's great to fix and great to mod. The only problem I had so far was a broken servo after a month but I had some serious crash meanwhile. I really would advice the Bixler 2 to everyone. Now I am going to buy one for my father too!

got the plane a few weeks ago and storm have finally finished . flew it today as a first plane for me and had to spend an hr setting up the trim so it flew. did a figure and flew for a minute and then crashed. the two half of the plane split aprt cos of cheap glue but overall fun for a beginner
also very easy o fix if you have leftover glue ,paddle pop stick and some oldd rubber bands lying around
