Larger than the typical parkflyer, but easy to fly due to its glider style
slow flying when the motor is off. Yet it has plenty of power to climb high
where you can learn to fly and have room to make mistakes. The radio is a
high quality Spektrum 2.4 GHz type so there is no chance of channel
conflict.
