GoolRC QF008 787 Airplane Miniature Model Plane 3CH 2.4G Remote Control EPP Aircraft RTF RC Toy

My child is big on airplanes, when I came across this one I was a bit apprehensive but got it because of a fellow reviewer. I must say my child loves this plane. It’s lightweight and easy to use and assembled. Bonus points for the extra parts provided.

The plane looks great assembled, but will not fly. Terrible tail heavy design. The elevator is either full up or full down. Will stall immediately once it leaves the ground, and then crash back down a split-second later on its nose or tail. If you can get it to stay in the air (I could only manage this with 7 grams of nose weight added) it turns poorly on the proportional thrust. Very disappointing.

I got this plane for one of my boys and a different one for the other. Especially compared to the other one, this one has been effortless. He picked up flying it within a few minutes of trying, it handles gusts of wind without being tossed around too much, and it lands and takes off smoothly even on a dirt baseball diamond. It’s been sturdy, with the biggest weakness being the tail and the two engines (cosmetic only), which come off easily to prevent them from breaking during crashes. No motor issues, and the one occasion where styrofoam broke it was easily fixed with superglue. The one downside is battery life, so I ordered a couple of extra batteries. Very good plane for someone learning the basics.

I rarely submit reviews, but after seeing some of the unwarrantedly abysmal reviews, I decided to submit one for this product. The plane comes in several pieces, so a greater than typical amount of assembly is required for a model this size, but if you are diligent (use foam safe CA/adhesive!) and pay attention to detail it will look and fly great. It is surprisingly detailed in fact (down to an authentic Boeing logo decal) since I doubt it is a licensed product and the end result is a very scale looking and flying model. It is styrofoam as is typical these days as several have complained about, but the type used is strong and durable. It is inherently stable and the gyro works well to keep the model level in flight. It's easily one of the best flying small scale models I've flown, certainly for 3 channel. It would be ideal for somebody new to the hobby.

My 8 yrs old wanted that RC plane. It started well working, remote control , and plane was working good. After couple of use the landing gear bended, then motor of plane malfunctioned. It is just working itself when turn it on. Overal product was good other than technical issues.

My 8 year-old grandson requested this '787' plane and was thrilled by it, doing many loops around a baseball field. It is made of tough foam, and the tail is held on by magnets that avoid damage. You screw on the wings and the circuit board, charge the battery and attach it, install the wheels and tail, and take off. One hard landing knocked off one of the jet engines, but it was easy to glue back on. The child had experience with online simulators and had no problems controlling the plane. The elevators are independent for climbing, descending, and turning, and differential motor speed also turns it. Highly recommended.

Not recommended to lending on the grass (parts can easily fall off), better on something hard

Very hard to control, no power, cannot fly in 1 mph winds battery falls out of case a lot, hard to install and the flaps are inverted. DO NOT BUY.
