RE: Any advice?
I tried one of the Outlaw planes and found that I couldn't control it no matter what I tried. When it was just a few hundred feet from me I could hear the motors cutting in an out even when I was giving them constant full power inputs. I also found that if there was ANY appreciable wind, I didn't have enough control.
I solved the problem by returning the plane and buying the Aerobird. It costs more but it responds like a real RC plane.
Good luck.
