ANTSIR Remote Control Plane F-22 Raptor, 2.4GHz Durable Foam Rc Airplane with Smart Gyro/LED Lights/3 Rechargeable Batteries, RC Jet Glider Toy Gift for Kids Boys Girls 8-16 Year Old (Blue)

My 10 yr old son enjoyed being "Maverick" when flying this plane, and I was really impressed at how simple this plane was to fly. My son had no experience flying an RC airplane before, but does drive RC cars. We only flew it when hand thrown, on a day with a light breeze. Also, we did go down to a grassy field (~6 soccer fields long) so we had plenty of room. I was really surprised at how the plane can climb and move through the air because it is so light. The build quality was nice in that the plane is very light, and they added a collapsible nose rubber (to absorb any nose plants into the ground). However, the front wheel has much to be desired, as it isn't straight and doesn't lock into place (like the rear wheels). It fell out a few times (luckily close to where we landed) before it sheared off on one landing. However, I am still able to use the broken front wheel (see photos). When flying, the plane climbs very quickly, however the turning radius is very large. Luckily we were in a large open space, but even then, it did see them that plane wasn't turning and was drifting further out. However, this could also be due to the lightness of the plane and the wind at the time. I don't think 400' control is an exaggeration as I really thought at one point we would just lose control and the plane would come crashing down, but we were able to turn it and have it come back. We crashed the plane several times as it cannot recover from too much of a dive, but as I mentioned earlier, the rubber nose seemed to help control the impact and there was no damage to the plane itself (other than the front landing gear). However, after a few flights, my son was able to get it to somewhat glide down (only nose diving around 3' from the ground). Although the lights on the plane seem cool, I don't think we'll ever really get to see them as we'd probably only fly this during the day. Battery life is great - we flew for around 15 minutes total before we had to change out the battery. I liked that an extra battery is provided (as well as the extra props and landing gear). Note, there is no on/off switch so it tries to pair as soon as the battery is connected. Overall, I think this is well worth the cost and is an easy plane to fly for most ages, as long as there is plenty of space to fly in.

For the price it’s really worth it. Very very easy to put together and get flying. The directions are clear and simple. Each battery lasts about 15m. Watch out for trees cuz they are deadly. Also stay clear from people since it can be a projectile if not careful. The nose is rubber material so no fear when crashing. If you know youre gonna crash cut down the throttle. Overall it’s fairly fun and it took me about 20m to get a good hang of it. I recommend if you want to get this as a gift for a child or get it for your own enjoyment. It comes with rechargeable batteries for the plane. The remote needs 3x AAA batteries.

flies very slowly and I had to tape a propeller back together. After I fixed it over and over again, The engine stopped working after having it for 2 months

This remote control airplane is shockingly good! I completely expected this thing to be a disaster considering it’s $25. I assumed it would be extremely difficult to fly with terrible controls and would disintegrate the first time that it crashed. Quite the opposite, though. We took it to a large parking lot and both both my eight-year-old and six-year-old were able to fly it pretty well and they crashed it a number of times each time surviving the impact without hardly a scratch. The front wheel bent slightly, but it bent right back and one of the engines did pop off, but that was due to one of the kids accidentally pulling on it and we were able to glue it right back on and it’s good as new. It comes with three batteries, which is outstanding they come charged as well which is great so the kids didn’t have to wait. Could they have flown the plane immediately without my help? No. But they picked it up very quickly with my help and they freaking LOVE this thing.

This is a far cry from the Air Hogs Skybusters I grew up with a decade ago. Same principle, but done correctly. Electronics: the gyro noticeably alters flight characteristics. It handles wind and breezes surprisingly well. Motors have plenty of power, I was actually surprised with the speed. Detachable batteries are wonderful, and they even give you two chargers. If you had more batteries, you could fly this thing all day. The lights on the bottom were also an awesome feature I didn't know I needed, but it makes a lot of sense, so flying in total darkness is a possibility. My one gripe if any is the transmitter, I don't have much confidence when I'm using it. I wish it wasn't so blobby-looking. Maybe some sharper corners would make it look cooler. Flight experience: I've flown plenty of 4 channel aircraft before, and this is a true 2 channel plane. No rudder or elevator, just forward and yaw controls. That said, I was pleasantly surprised with the speed. To go up, you increase thrust, and if it tries to stall, just turn to one side and it instantly levels out. It's easy to land where you want it, and I even got to where I could land it so close I could reach forward and pick it up without moving my feet. The only gripe I'd have with the flight performance is the plane more than once would be flipped by a gust of wind, and once on it's back, there's no way to recover it in flight, unless you're really high up. The only thing you can do is cut power to reduce damage on landing. That said, the plane is extremely durable, and I haven't managed to damage it with normal flying. Things I love: Excellent value. Two batteries and two chargers, also. Tons of fun for $50 Gyro. It makes flying even in tougher wind much easier Faster than I expected Extremely durable. The only way to break it is to step on it or set something heavy on it Biggest issues: once you assemble the vertical stabilizers, the plane does not slide back into the box, making transport a little more tedious than I would like. Flipping onto its back in midair (only if it's windy) Stickers don't come off, so you either like them or you don't (fine for kids, but I prefer a more plain look) Should you buy: Yes. You can fly it basically anywhere, parking lots (empty, preferably) or a youth soccer field (where I did most of my flying) but any open space will do. Kids would not have trouble flying it, as long as you remind them not to let it get too high up, or too far away.

It uses the two props to turn. No tail rudders or wing flaps so it turns in a big radius. But comes with adapter to charge all three batteries at the same time. Bout 5 to 7 min flight time

Oh wow. I've been buying and flying these lightweight foam RC planes for 30 years. This model and build quality is by far the best I've seen yet. For under $40 this is some of the most fun you can have or expect. The capability of the plane has exceeded my expectations. I recommend this one to everyone. I love the sleek outer skin of this foam, as it's way more aerodynamic, faster and climbs higher and faster than others in its class and for the same money. Buy this one! You won't regret it, I promise.

I have owned a number of 2 channel planes and this is by far the best one in terms of overall performance, quality and durability. Very satisfied with the purchase. I reinforce the weaker points with surgical tape and have glue/tape ready for repairs. It's not a question of if but when you have to fix broken parts on rc planes. This airplane already came with additional tape reinforcements pre-installed and the EPP foam is denser than average for its class.

It's so much fun to play with this, and the signal reach is wide; more importantly, I broke the plabe one time, and fixed it with super glue, and it's back to new because of its smart design and choice of material!

This is not not good very very bad

but i did not received only 1 battery and not did not receive the right lipo charger

سيئة و خامتها فليين ذي اطباق الجبنة. من أقل حاجة بتتكسر.. وبتتفك من بعضها.. مهما لصقت فيها مش بتتحمل

Very bad quality and I received it with one battery not as advertised …
