That pretty much sums it up.

If you find one of those 25 dollar airplanes, let me know....

Here you go. $27.99, but their last flier had it for $24.99

The quality is way up there with what you would normally associate with at least a $30 R/C airplane! About as good as a $49.99 helicopter.

Don't fly downwind or you may never get it back. Turning is by differential engine "throttle", so you may be able to complete a 360ΒΊ turn before it flies out of range.

Well, this plane appears to have better characteristics than a normal 'toy' plane, the reveiew says it flies well, which is more than can be said about the similar plane I had a year or two ago. I currently fly a FMA Direct Mini Skysprite as one of my planes, and I can say that I really enjoy flying it, but it is a more conventional plane with one main motor with a very small motor with tiny propeller in the tail for steering.

Honestly though, I am not an old bald guy, I can tell you that, and I have a very limited budget so I really evaluate whether something is worth it or not. This looks like it could be worth it, it seems to fly alright, but do keep in mind that this is most likely a mass assembled aircraft, not an plane that relies on its quality to give it a good reputation. Of course this doesn't mean its bad, just be warned about it. You might as well buy it though, with that price, and the fact that if it is even marginally successful, it will have been worth the money.

So, go ahead if you want.[sm=thumbup.gif]
