To answer your question about landing.

Most of these planes have a voltage cut off that will prevent you from applying throttle once the battery gets to a certain level. Just like most other electric planes. However the ones I have flown will still leave you enough power for some directional control. That is you can run one motor or the other but you can't run both. So you are in a glide with limited direction and no pitch influence at all.

I have flown a few of these. The HobbyZone outlaw was the best of hte bunch because it has the best glide of any that I tried. However I don't recommend these planes to anyone other than as toys for a little passing fun. They will fly and under dead calm conditions they can be fun.

The two channel T/R planes, like the HobbyZone Scout, Firebirds, Commander and similar planes give you more control. At least these planes can be forced into a spiral dive so you can bring them down. The two motor planes can't even do that.
