Not only do they fly,but they are awesome!!There are many many threads on this plane do a search for it.The only thing I did to mine was to add flying wires,they are pretty much a necessity.You're really gonna like this plane.On my first one I bolted the wing on,but on the second I stuck with the rubber bands,they are plenty strong enough and much forgiving when you bang it in hovering or just having fun,and you will bang it in because it flies so well and fun.Have a ball!!
