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.

My grandson was not impressed, it broke on the first flight !!😡 It was not cheap price wise , but it was obviously made cheap

This plane flies fast! Careful on those landings because the propellers will break if you crash too hard. There are extras in the case, but after my son crashed too many times we ran out of replacements. I emailed the company, and they sent me more right away since I had just barely purchased it. Thanks for the great customer service!

If you’re into fast, zooming airplanes, this one is super cool. My son loves this plane because it goes really far and really fast. It’s made of foam, so it’s super light, but also pretty tough. We’ve had a few crash landings and it still didn’t break! One time, it even got stuck in a tree, but we got it down and it was totally fine. That foam material is awesome for surviving crash landings! Heads up though: it’s not easy to control at first. It definitely takes practice, and because it flies so fast, it can easily end up in a tree or on someone’s roof. So I highly recommend flying it in a big open field like a park or soccer field where there’s plenty of space and no trees or houses nearby. Once you get the hang of flying it, it’s a blast!

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Plane is very durable made of foam . I’ve crashed it many times and haven’t had any issues that I couldn’t fix with the glue that was sent with the kit . I didn’t accidentally drop the controller and the thumb pad broke off . They promptly sent me a new kit to replace it with no issues ! Plane is a blast to fly , easily can get up to an hour of flying if you have both batteries charged . Controller has no problem with distance , I’ve flown it as far as I could see it with no problem. Motors are strong and you can gain altitude very quickly which is fun to kill the engines and pull up at last minute. This is my first rc plane and after a few flights I had the hang of it. Highly recommend!

Really forward heavy and won't take off on its own. When you throw it, it flies for a few seconds before crashing. Def not worth it.

Great plane but it broke on its first flight.
