 This toy is not for children November 13, 2006
13 out of 18 found this review helpful
We bought this for our son's birthday and it was his big present. He's a superhero nut and had been begging for this since he first saw it. After we had it put together and charged it up we went to walk outside. He dropped it a distance of about 2 and 1/2 feet and the it broke OFF at the knees!!! Much crying insued. After a quick trip to get glue we tried to fly the darn thing. It never flew. This should be more correctly termed a glider at best and definately not for children under say 14 or so.
We were able to return it thank goodness. I must say this is just another in the long line of large Mattel products we have bought that are not put together well and do NOT stand the test of play. Such as the The Batman Batcave (falls apart), The JLA watchtower(won't stand up), the mini Batcave (falls apart) etc. etc. I think we have learned our lesson.
Very disappointing! November 10, 2006

Looks great, but NOT worth the money. My son begged for this toy - and it was a big dud. Almost impossible to fly - I think once out of 50 tries were we successful. Made out of flimsy material, it chipped and scraped right away.
Do NOT buy this toy!!!!!!
 Superman Flies! September 23, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
First, let me say, this is the first RC plane of any type that I have ever flown. After thouroghly reading the instructions last night, this afternoon I took Supes on his maiden voyage. I did have some crashes, but after about 10 - 20 minutes of trial and error, I started getting some decent flights. I admit I was skeptical at first, but this thing actualy does fly! It does have a tendency to veer to the right, but once I got the hang of it I was able to fairly easily compensate for it by steering in the other direction (I have not tried using the included weights to balance it yet). Keys to a successful flight: 1) needs a LARGE open area: for example, we used a soccer field 2)wind must be relatively calm 3)follow the instructions for proper release/launch. When you're flying you'll probably want to keep it over a soft grassy area, Supes earned a few battle scars landing in the road (nothing major though). I must say, my son and I had a blast watching him fly!
Note: It may be a little too difficult for younger kids to fly themselves.

My son earned this toy by winning a gold medal in his TKD tournament.. We hqad to have it overnighted due to his excitement!
When it arrived we charged it and finaly got to take it outside to fly.....well, we took it outside. This is a joke! There is no way with our current laws of physics that this thing can fly. We added the weight stickers to balance teh man, as per the instructions..we charged it every few minutes, as per the instructions...but nothing ever happened except the spiderman would nose dive as soon as it was released....Oh...did I mention the tears from my son? Overall, I would say that this was the worst purchase that I have ever made in my life. We have hidden the spiderman in the attic so it will not bring up any bad memories with my son. Maybe one day he too can get it from the attic and disappoint his children.. Buyer .. beware!
R/C Flying Superman - Up, up and away.... July 3, 2006
24 out of 25 found this review helpful
I am an avid R/C enthusiast - I couldn't wait to try this toy and see if it really flew! So here is the scoop....
1) There should be almost NO wind present if you want any chance of a successful flight - resist the temptation to fly in gusty or strong winds. 2) The right and left controls are VERY sensistive - a turn requires about one second of control input - any more than that and the turn will become a massive SPIRAL - it looks cool - but you may only get one chance to see it! 3) Fly in a LARGE open area.. Bottom line - very cool toy - It does fly, in fact it looks very cool in flight. It is very quick for a plane like this. If you have low wind, go easy on the controls and have a big area to fly it in you should have a blast - if not, choose something else so your not disappointed.
