Got this today! Watched the build video while I put it together. Took it out and let me tell ya folks, for this price, this little bruiser can't be beat! What a great little plane. The fact that you can change rates at this price point is remarkable. If you're new to the hobby, this little plane is a perfect way to break through the fear/financial barrier of rc planes. I'm a longtime fan and builder/buyer of Flitetest products and this one is no different than anything else I've ordered from this company... fun,functional and an incredible value! Thanks again FT crew for delivering the goods yet again!

As the others have said, fantastic bang for the buck. I got the kit, watched the video and it was ready to fly in less than an hour. First flight was on high rates, was able to take off and land successfully. Even on low rates I was able to keep it within 200 feet of my location. High rates will let you fly it in a large back yard. Sell done Flite Test!

Great begginers plane! Total blast to fly and it can be flown in small areas. Only issue was with the landing gear, they can fall off easy and are kind of cheap so be careful.

Flite Test Micro Freighter Electric RTF Airplane (390mm)
This was my first plane and I can say that the purchase was worth it all. It's incredibly easy to build, fly, and repair. It also takes quite a hit. I've crashed into trees, nose-dived into the ground, and broke a wing. It struggles in wind yet still hauls when it needs to. Take off is easy but landing takes some practice.

Great easy to fly plane. My younger kids 6 and 8 who have never flown had no trouble flying around and had a blast. We lost the plane in a tree, and after 3 weeks of wind, rain, and snow it fell out. We charged the battery and still flies with no problem.

Flite Test Micro Freighter Electric RTF Airplane (390mm)
I purchased this the day it came out (and was quite possibly the first one to buy it). I must say, this thing was amazing when flown. Building it was very fun and easy, and it flies beautifully. I highly recommend it for beginners, because it is very affordable, easy to build, and easy to fly. This surpassed my expectations by so much, and I am very happy with my purchase.

I got this as a starter plane and a little project for my son. It was amazing! I am a Paratrooper in the Army so he is familiar with the C-17 Globemaster III. It was easy to fly and even crashed it a few time and it did not break. Highly recommend if you are looking for quick fun or starter plan.

Flite Test Micro Freighter Electric RTF Airplane (390mm)
Fantastic product! Excellent bang for the buck! Shades of the original Air Hogs differential thrust RC planes - with the added perks of larger size, gyro stabilization and long flight times. Perfect introduction to RC flight because it teaches the fundamentals of orientation and throttle management. Beware: this is NOT a backyard flyer (unless you have a REALLY big back yard). It can get really small, really fast! Looking forward to using the electronics for future scratch builds, but the airframe is so indestructible, that I'll likely have to go ahead and buy a set (https://store.ftstem.com/flite-test-ft-stem-ez-power-pack-2-channel/).

It is very durable but it turns slow. My family and I love it. We fly it often. Great small plane.
