they have them in red and blue (this is the blue one). To my knowledge, this is the ONLY "micro" plane on the market with 4 channels (throttle, rudder, elevator, and ailerons). The package (controller, charger, batteries, plane <complete with motor, servos, esc, Rx>
is $179. It's got a wingspan of 410mm (16.14 in) and a length of 335mm (13.19 in) and a weight of 27 grams. It's actually built to scale (1/24) with all parts TO that scale (including the width and length of the ailerons).
I think they also have some kind of cable/device (?) that allows you to link their transmitter (2.4Ghz spread spectrum) to YOUR "usual" controller so you can temporarily "convert" your trusty familiar stick-box to 2.4Ghz and use it to control the plane. That's a nice feature and not something most people would think about adding, but if you think about it, you're probably used to the way your controller feels and moves, the resistance points, smooth points, etc... so with this "converter" you don't have to get "re-learn" another Tx's "quirks".
I personally think the plane is SUPER neat because it's got all 4 "standard" channels instead of being like MOST micros that only have 3 (rudder, elevator, and throttle). I'm thinking about it just because it would be something I could fly up and down my street (i have almost NO traffic going by my house, even though it's in the middle of town) and chase the neighbor's 20 cats [>:] Right now I'm using a Mini-XPV from Walmart for this, but it's only a 2 channel toy plane and kinda hard to control (but it's still embarassingly fun
)
