It sounds like an eBay special. I bought a RTF foam Cessna 182 on there once just to play around with in my neighborhood when I wasn't at the field. It was the biggest piece of junk I had ever seen. The aileron serve worked in reverse and there was no way to switch it on the cheapo transmitter. I thought about switching the wiring inside the servo but there were no screws holding it together, just glue.

It's unfortunate really. I wonder how many people think they can fly a plane with no experience or instruction, go out and by some crappy, generic airplane, have a trerrible experience and give up a hobby they might have really enjoyed had they just done it right.

As for foam planes, they aren't my favorite either but if it is from one of the reputable manufacturers they aren't so bad. At least the give you instructions that make sense and stand behind the product. I actually do own one foam airplane: the Parkzone T-28. It flys very nice and usually goes to the field with me every weekend along with all of my regular airplanes.
