RC Airplane, 2CH RC Plane Ready to Fly, 2.4GHz C-17 Remote Control Airplane with 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer Globemaster III Military Transport Aircraft for Beginners Boys Kids Adults Patent Pending

UPDATE 6/19/35: Had and issue and customer service took care of it AND followed up they everything was well. Updated review from 4 stats to 5.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this as a gift for a 9-year-old who wants to become a pilot. He had been playing flight simulator games for almost a year now (X-Plane). So, what better birthday gift than a remote controlled-plane, right? I knew that a RC helicopter would not be something he would enjoy.First, one must clearly understand that each city may have laws that regulate where RC planes/helicopters can or cannot fly. So, be sure to operate this at a park where they are allowed. Some may require a "pilot" license.Second, unlike a helicopter, a plane requires a small runway for take off and landing.The plane was operable right out of the box and the controls took some getting used to, but once we had it figured out, we were able to perform some stunts (like flying it upside down for a few SHORT seconds -- this plane design does not lend for some flying positions).What amazed us was how FAST this plane goes! The only down side is that the battery only lasts for a few minutes (about 30 mins), but those minutes are worth while for the children who get to play with it.Although the plane felt light (and as a result, flimsy), it was relatively durable during the few times it landed hard (the boy did not yet know how to pull up the nose for a softer landing). I CAN imagine it potentially falling apart when hitting trees at specific angles and speeds, but for the price I paid, that would be expected by me.Overall, not bad of a plane. The boy is happy, and so is my wife and I. Hopefully, this will help support his dream in becoming a pilot.

The airplane is a one time use product, broke after the first flight, in search for a good RC airplane that doesn’t break after one use.

Great remote controlled airplane, (VERY) long range capability. So use it in a large open area free of structures. If you don't want to lose it in trees or on a rooftop.

The media could not be loaded. Been flying this rc plane for about 3 weeks now and its actually not bad for my first one! Started out just tossing it in my backyard but now im taking it to the park down the street where theres more space. The foam body is tougher than it looks - crashed it a few times learning to land (oops) and it only got a tiny scratch that the included glue fixed right up. Battery life is decent - got about 35 mins of flight time before needing a recharge which isnt quite the 40 they claim but still pretty good. The remote control works fine up to maybe 400ft away (tested it at the soccer field) and i havent had any issues with it cutting out. Love that its ready to go straight outta the box cause i wouldnt know how to put one together tbh. The automatic stabilizer thingy helps keep it steady - saved me from a few nose dives when i was learning lol. Few quirks tho - sometimes the landing gear gets wobbly after a rough landing and needs adjusting, and the battery door is kinda fiddly to open. The propellers are good quality but grab a spare set cause you might bend one learning to land (speaking from experience here). Nice that it looks like a real cargo plane, my kid thinks its super cool. Takes a bit of practice to get the hang of taking off - found out the hard way you need to throw it just right or itll dive straight into the grass. Makes for a fun weekend activity when the weathers good and nice that i didnt have to spend a fortune to try out the hobby.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Broke easily, hard to maneuver in the air because it is so light

My husband is an airplane fanatic and loves to study them and watch videos about them, especially the accident videos because he likes to determine the causes of what went wrong and see if he can determine himself the causes before hearing about it. At one point he wanted to be a pilot himself but alas, life leads elsewhere. This was a no brainer and the amount of time he spends with it, studying it and learning all he can about it makes him a happy camper. He enjoys flying it around and learning the ins and outs of it and it has rekindled his love even greater than before, so much so in fact that he is hoping to take some lessons and learn to fly small craft. In fact, I will be buying more of your products after this with different models.Considering that you can fly multiple crafts at a time and have them not interfere with one another has made him even happier because he feels it is like a pilot learning how to do it for real in the real thing.

The media could not be loaded. Well, we tried. After 3 mins the airplane caught the wind and was stuck in the tree. Than we went to the school yard to lose all the tires (horrible directions) engine falling off and propeller falling off. Why I gave it a 2 ⭐ just because for the 45 mins we did fly it, it was fun. But can't use it Again.Happy extra parts came with so the team knew there would be issues.The whole thing was falling apart and so fragile. Not ideal for kids or clumsy adults. No made to last.
