A lot of fun. Nice price for a small transmitter ready model.
A great little motor glider that is great for flying in tight spaces like a park, but it does best on a small and gentle slope. When a very gentle breeze hits the slope head on, i get some really nice flights and don’t have to touch the throttle very often, if at all. Is it good for learning..ehh, maybe. If you do choose it as your first model i will say this, it is fragile and won’t tolerate nose in crashes or kart wheels for very long. ai would highly recommend flying over some tall grass. I always recommend buy a quality R/C simulator first. Fly all the aircraft you want until you are doing great with the basics and able to fly under full control. If you crash, just hit the reset button and you have a new model. You can also fly when it’s raining, snowing or those days when you can’t make it to the field. Overall, I really enjoy this airplane and have had many great flights with it. It has a lot of great features that are very impressive, especially when you consider the price.

Great for beginners-but read review
Well designed- got it linked up to my spectrum radio in a jiffy - just be aware it is a bit on the delicate side - however I have crashed a couple times and no damage as it is so light - I am also impressed at the flight time depending on how aggressively you fly it - Also not recommended necessarily by the manufacturer but I used 250mah batteries (as I had them already). I usually get tired of flying it before the battery does. Also I am an RC Quad flyer, this was my first plane - got it right away. Also I FPVed my plane- added 6 grams Also since this plane is delicate- I would recommend a few hours on a simulator if you or the person you are buying this for never flew before.

Cheap fun and relaxation
If you have a transmitter, all you need besides this are a few cheap little batteries and a charger to fly it. It's very easy to fly (use SAFE mode if you're new to flying) and glides very well. It's more engaging, IMO, than the larger Night Radian that I found boring. And it's easy to grab and go have a little fun with for a while. Also light enough that you don't need to register it with the FAA, etc. It's a very simple little plane, a joy to fly and can be flown like a normal plane (but is limited to loops, no rolls because no ailerons), used to slope soar or even catch thermals -- The latter very impressive for a plane this small. It has a tiny little brushed motor but that's all it needs and climbs like a champ. Simple is good. These are made my E-Flite, a brand under the Horizon Hobby umbrella, but buy it here instead. I bought a different, more expensive model direct from Horizon Hobby when it first came out, with a faulty aileron servo after one flight, and they sent me a new servo and expected me to figure out how to install it (and provide my own servo glue) on a brand new plane instead of simply sending a new wing that I could install in a couple minutes. When I asked for the latter, they didn't even bother to reply. Rude. With Amazon, you just send it back for a replacement and don't have to deal with any of that foolishness. That said, this is such a simple plane that you're unlikely to run into any defects.

Fun in calm wind and an experienced pilot
Fun little plane to fly, but skittish in the wind. (given its size, that's not surprising) It climbs very quickly and can drop just as fast, so a new flyer would probably not enjoy it nearly as much as someone who as more time on the sticks. The SAFE works great, so it is relatively stable, but just not with a breeze. I'm looking forward to many enjoyable flights with it and the need for such a small battery provides a LONG flight time if you don't run the motor the entire time. (Get to height, and glide down). Overall, it's a great buy and would recommend it! (For FrSky users, you will need a module to bind to it.)

Worth It!
Second or third one I’ve owned. More durable in better hands. Needs whose Nate, oops, nose weight. Good flyer, indoors and out.

Great all around airplane
Bound right to my transmitter, don’t buy the usb e flight charger because it will burn up the charger if you connect it to a usb charger with high output. Do yourself a favor and buy the spektrum charger!!! Do it now!!! I run the response on elivator and rudder on highest throw hole on plastic arm. Really should only be flown on calm day. I have 3 batteries one is a 200mah and I suggest buying that over the standard 150mah I have yet to break a prop after about 30 flights. My 6 year old broke the wing in half, a little epoxy fixed that. With a pickup with the kids and dog taking up all the room this thing sits on the front dash well out of the way till you get to the park. I always struggled with my planes blowing out the back of the pickup or getting damaged on transport… My video I took while flying!!!

Do not buy unless you plane on spending another $150 days on batteries charger and controller
Absolute mockery from f a sales tactic. The add makes it seem like there’s a basic controller included in the sale (video on YouTube said there would be) there’s no controller. Controller to use the plane cost just as much as the plane! Didn’t come with batteries and I guess Amazon sells the plane but no battery compatible with the plane so it’s off to horizon hobby to buy batteries and wait a week! All I was looking for was a simple almost ready to fly slow flying plane and here I was given a project rc plane to assemble and piece together parts. Im either returning this fail of a rc plane kit or putting it on the shelf until I feel like swapping a different motor esc and receiver in because no way was I ever spending $100 on a controller to fly an $100 plane.

Easy to fly.
Flies great in a small park area. Easy to fly for beginners. Easy to fix.

This airplane doesn't come with a remote control. I order one from Amazon which was not compatible with the airplane. Manufacturer asked buy Spektrum which is not available in India. I ordered one from Dessertcart and found it as prohibited item in India. Can someone help me in buying the remote control to fly this airplane?

Size, wingspan. In photos looks similar to Radian 1 or 2. In practise its about 1/2 size and I find the presentation misleading.
