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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

This $50 R/C airplane is the favorite go-to plane of mine, I have 4 of them as I needed parts from crashes so I just purchased another plane, I added LED lights from www.banggood.com and then fly it at night. Easy to assemble with E6000 clear flexible glue, USB charger for the batteries, the electric motors and the lights plug into the receiver circuit board. The range is so good with this plane that you'll lose sight of it so be careful as it can get away in the wind!

I liked the speed and design. It looks cool! I was able to teach my 12yr old son to fly it on his own. It is not high level hobby grade but based on other purchases I have made this one meets my expectations.
