F-35 RC Plane

We bought this as a Christmas gift for our 6 year old who is crazy about airplanes. It is very simply (and somewhat cheaply) made but has everything necessary to get the job done.I have no experience with RC planes and found this very easy to fly. I got the hang of it almost immediately, taking off from the ground. it is fast enough and maneuvrable enough (turns sharply) to be entertaining. One battery charge lasts about ten minutes of flying. Our son is a bit intimidated by it, so I end up doing all the flying. it might be better for someone a bit older.Of course there have been some crashes, but it is very durable from my experience. The only issue is that one of the wheels/landing gear fell off during flight and was lost. Good thing it comes with a replacement. I used hot glue to secure the replacement along with the other landing gear.The biggest issue with it is that due to the light weight, it can only be flown when there is little to no breeze. If there is even a moderate breeze, the plane becomes difficult to fly and is at the mercy of the wind direction.Unfortunately, I left the plane outside in the rain by accident. I dried it and the controller out in rice for several days, it doesn't quite work the same anymore. Whatever gyroscope mechanism it had for stabilization seems to have been compromised. I am actually curious to know how the gyroscope works, because what I know as a gyroscope has moving parts but this does not seem to have any moving parts other than the the two motors.The only other thing I would say is that you will need a large open area like a field/park to be able to enjoy using this. Flying it in your back garden or on the street is likely to end up with it crashing into a tree or into your neighbours house/yard or on top of a roof.

Light weight and super fun to fly around the backyard!

This plane is a really good bang for your buck! You can hand the controller to anyone and they'll be able to fly, it's that easy. Plus, despite how light it is, it's very durable. I've crashed it dozens of times by now and it's in perfect shape. Would make a perfect gift for plane enthusiasts!

These are inexpensive two axis control planes. The kids love them and have crashed them literally hundreds of times and they still work. Broke props and went through all the spares, but that's expected.Works great in low winds. Great for beginners

The material is super cheap I wouldn’t have paid more than 20$ for this is cheap material and lasted a day my son liked it so I guess I’ll give it 2 stars
