Product Description
Product Description
Fantastic fun to fly at full speed, and featuring excellent low speed handling characteristics too, Silverlit’s colourful X-Twin Jet has become a popular choice for both newcomers, and experienced modellers alike. This futuristic jet is remarkably robust, virtually moulded out of one piece of tough plastic, whilst providing the best possible strength to weight ratio, for developing your flying skills in the sky. The attractive X-Twin Jet gift box includes a fully assembled aeroplane supplied ready-to-fly, complete with a pre-installed 2-channel digital proportional radio control system, and an informative flight manual. Suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts, steer the model using differential thrust by simply moving the transmitter joy stick left or right, whilst operating the throttle to climb or descend. Easy to fly outdoors in calm conditions, and made of lightweight flexible foam to withstand the occasional heavy landing. The X-Twin Jet incorporates a powerful lithium polymer battery and will fly for up to ten minutes, whilst recharging direct from the transmitter in less than half an hour. The X-Twin aeroplanes are available on 27MHz bands A, B or C, to allow up to three different Silverlit models to be flown together. As colour and frequency varies, we are unable to guarantee which colour product or radio control band you will receive. Requires 6 x AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Product Description
Designed and crafted for speed and maneuverability, the X-Twin Jet closely resembles the shape of the iconic F-14 Tomcat. Powered by two propeller motors, the jet is suited to outdoor flight and is controlled and charged through a handheld radio control unit. The X-Twin Jet boasts a shell, engineered to withstand bumps and crashes for those who lose their nerve. It's also light - and so won't cause any damage if crashed inside. The body also conceals a high-grade rechargeable lithium battery giving it a longer flight time than most r/c planes of a similar size and enabling charging from the hand held radio control unit.

Its a great fun!
It does fly away with a wind so be aware :-) I had to use ladder few times already. Little tip here: when you attach something to weight down the nose (piece of wood) it is much easier to controll outdoor.
It seems to be rain resistant.
Indoor.. well.. you would need a 50 by 50 foot room to make full turn.
Battery last long time but the 15-20 minutes charging... (15 minutes flying) well why not to buy two of them or as a second - helicopter!
Have fun, you definetly will!

I bought this for my 8 year old son with concerns as we have bought several RC planes for him in the past which have always crash landed and broken in the first couple of weeks. But as he likes them so much we thought we would have one last go. This plane is fab as he can controll it himself. It charges up quickly although does not stay charged for long, but quite long enough for an 8 year olds attention span. He can manage it completely himself with no help from me on charging or flying although I do have to retrieve it from trees and hedges occasionally - adds to the fun. It has unfortunately broken today - the charger has broken at the end and he was distraught. He has had it a good 8 months and has probably flown it at least 5 times a week. So I am buying another one and one for his friend as a birthday pressie. Would throughly recommend it to parents of busy boys who love being outside doing.

this little plane is brilliant, it goes out far enough to get a good fly about, easy to manouvre after about 20 mins of getting used to it, 20 mins flying time per charge only 30 mins to charge, great fun for me and my 3 year old daughter, got it stuck up 3 trees and on top of a building on my first day, but after that no problems with the controls, excellent value for money.
