Default Flyzone DH Beaver Review

Hey gang

I have some people who want me to teach them to fly. I had heard these foamies are pretty indestructable so I thought I buy one to try it. This is my first "Foamie".
There are things I both like and dislike about it What I do like about it, it came wired with mini servos esc and so forth that I can later use in my Pats Curtiss Jenny or Pats Stinson. It has some neat lights on it The plane is somewhat a floater (Literally too) LOL. It has a neat little tail dragger landing gear for the rear also.

The things I disaprove of about this model is the elevator and rudder have no hinges. What they do have is thinly molded foam from them to the horizontal and vertical sabilizers after I get a few flights on the plane I am going to remedy this and cut them off to put in hinges.

It comes with a battery that there is no way you can plug into the speed controller and also the front landing gear is plastic covered in foam so I imagine it won't take many hard landings to destroy it.

All in all, would I buy it again, probably yes, simply because I want to use it to train others and gluing most parts back will be easy, ones that break like the landing gear, the first time that happens I will make some aluminum ones
