Pass This One By - Made a Mistake on the Stars January 29, 2007

In my opinion, I've been flying radio-controlled craft since 1957, when my control had electron tubes and batteries as big as a telephone.
This plane is made of an easily broken styrofoam product. You simply cannot fly it without sustaining some damage. The only control you have is engine speed and left-right rudder. You have no flap control for lift, so you control this by bending the styrofoam flaps. As you might expect, they don't hold their position, and the plane repeats the problem.
It's a lot of gadgetry for the money, but it can't fly in any headwind over a couple of miles per hour, and I mean 2-3 mph. Any crosswind at all wreaks havoc. The flying time on a calm day may approach 2 minutes, and any wind will cut into the total flying time. Also, this depends on high quickly you get it up to about 50' and start flying. Any struggling cuts into the flying time, also. The wings are held on by one small screw on each side, so the remainder of the holding power for the wing and other parts is double-sided sticky tape. After a few flights, everything from the canopy to the wings starts loosening up and going down hill.
You can get it off the ground and fly it, but the frustration level is very high. By the time it's properly lauched and straightened into a flying path, the battery is dead. Then it's: charge the battery for 10 minutes, re-insert the battery, bend the flaps again, lauch and hope for the low headwind and no crosswinds,and, finally, total frustration will set in.
Save your money and, if you need a Jet or Turbo-jet, just spend the money. If you're a beginner or have never flown a turbo/fan jet, then try a traditional aircraft.
