Perfect for engaging the kids
The controls are easy enough that my 4 year old can control the plane.
The plane is nimble enough that I have fun flying it around the park while the kids chase it (they come out of the woodwork).
The plane is cheap enough that when it’s lost or destroyed it’s not heartbreaking.
Overall this purchase has gotten dozens of my neighborhood kids interested rc and aerospace. -
A Good Beginner Plane
Although my son is a good pilot, he wanted this as a safe fun flier in our cul de sac.
My only caution is not to fly this in strong winds. High winds means more throttle to bring back, which means higher flight, which means lost plane! Resist the temptation of flying in high winds with this one and everything will be fine! -
Ft freighter review
At first the plane counts no be controlled due to gyroscope issues but I reached out to the customer service and they sent me a new with no hassle at all. Hopefully the new one will work better.
