Product Description
Product Description
An exciting development of Silverlit’s best selling X-Twin mini planes, the amazing Air Acrobat features an undercarriage, and elevator function too. Now you can take off from the ground, and perform impressive loops upon command, with this sensational stunt plane. The attractive Air Acrobat gift box includes a fully assembled aeroplane supplied ready-to-fly, complete with a pre-installed 3-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 Air Acrobat 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).

I was tempted by this plane because it has 3 channels, in theory offering a greater degree of control than you get with common 2 channel toy RC planes.
However, in practice the elevator at the back of the plane didn't really work - the planes natural attitude was to currve towards the ground. This could be avoided by constantly pulling back on the stick to go up, but as soon as you tried to turn the plane the natural downwards curve re-asserted itself, and the plane would crash. It couldn't be kept in the air.
I returned mine to Amazon, who I'm pleased to say accepted it for a refund (with a credit note).
If you want a 3 channel plane I'd recommend spending a little bit more and getting something like the Erc Mirco Spitfire - I bought one of these instead and it flies well, controllable and entertaining. It's more fragile, but then as you can control it it doesn't crash so much, and also spare parts are available.

ok you cant call this plane bad it dos fly well and fast and the 3-ch remote lets you do cool stunts but the problem starts when you crash because this plane is fast and has a pointy nose it is not as tough as the x-twin plane that have a 2-ch remote the nose gets dirty and the wheels fall off and get lost on the first flight but over all not a bad plane

This plane flies like a dream and goes pretty fast, it has bigger and faster motors than other X-twin planes so it also goes higher. The batteries last for a long time - more than 15 minutes - when in the instruction manual says that it only lasts for 5 minutes and charges in 50. This is also untrue as it charges in around 20 depending on the discharge from the previous flight. So overall I think that this is one of the best planes out there for its price and is well worth the money lots of fun!!
