Ive had this aeroplane since late 2007 and would highly recommend it as a first time flier for kids and adults alike.

The good: You can expect flight time 12-20 minutes from a 20-30 minute charge, very durable Ive crashed many times weakest point being the tail but any damage can be easily repaired with sellotape. Normal flight height its about 1.5 - 3 meters but with a light headwind I got high enough to get out or radio range about 15 meters ( holding the control above my head 2.5m). Has a trim function on the control for straight flight.

The bad: Indoor or very light wind ONLY. On my model even with the trim couldnt quite get straight flight at all speeds. Tail heavy flight can lead to diving and rising like a sine wave, correct by throttling out or doing a sweaping turn. The direction control system wont allow high accuracy (works best by tapping rather than holding).

Just flown it now got 15 minutes flight, 3 years on and it still makes me grin, fantastic fun at a bargain!!

Take looking at the Silverlit X-Twin Speedy Plus when available as a faster larger alternative, buy in store to avoid high delivery cost.

This was about the only plane that I brought my son that actually flew! Its not great outside when its slightly windy, but on a calm day it doesnt fly too bad and its easy to control and doesnt smash into pieces when it crashes!

This is an ideal Indoor Flyer appropriate for this time of year. Takes a lot of knocks and I would receommend it to anyone as excellent value for money.

Also excellent fast servive from Amazon

Wow. Love it !!! Easy to control, fast, long battery time. What more do you need ? Totally recommend it

We have had great fun flying this Biplane, excellent value for money, I wouldnt hesitate in reccommending this to anyone. Great purchase.

I adore this plane!!! It is so fun and easy to fly. The one problem with it though is the fact that it can only be flown in VERY light wind. I have lost mine :'( because the wind took it and it went into some tall trees! The only other oroblem I had with this plane was with the wing column coming off. I fixed it simply by replacing the wing column with a toothpick and holding it in place with hot glue. overall great fun for great value
