Hi,

I'm reviewing the new Skysprite from [link=https://www.fmadirect.com/site/home.htm]FMA Direct[/link].

The Skysprite is a mini Ready-To-Fly (RTF) plane with a 14 3/8" wing span. All the electronics, including a 27MHz transmitter, are part of the kit. The 3-cell, 150mAh NiMH battery pack is also included which will allow 5 minutes of flying time. The charger for NiMH battery is built right into the transmitter case. The transmitter operates on 6 AA Alkaline batteries (not included). This airplane is equipped with a unique, proprietary tiny fan in the tail to control yaw (rudder left or right). The motor for propulsion is on/off type controlled by a trigger on the transmitter.

The complete package includes the fully assembled plane, 2-channel transmitter w/ charger, spare spinner and propeller, front and rear landing gear, rechargable NiMH battery and wind tester ribbon.

An optional Skysprite Lipo Package is also available that includes a 350mAh Lithium Polymer Battery and Charger to double your flight time!
