Is this a good plane for $65

RE: Is this a good plane?
 

Sorry, I can't help! I've never heard of this plane, where is it advertized? I guess this doesn't really matter, as obviously if I haven't heard of it, I certainly haven't flown it! The price appears awfully cheap!

Could it be this?

If so, purely going by the description and image i'd say no, looks like a cheap toy to me.



Whats your budget?
What kind of space do you have available to fly in?


Maybe we can point you in the right direction [8D]

You are not going to find a good RTF plane for $65. You may find a nice toy.

You definitely need to provide a solid link to the info if you want an in depth evaluation.

Edit to add "RTF" to please Kiswa. :D

If they only want $65 for both the plane AND the radio, then my guess is that it's not much more than toy. Places like this are where the expression "You get what you pay for" comes into play. The marketers of toys such as this do a great job of describing them so that they sound like the are great planes, but when they come out of they box they are still nothing more than toy that won't last too long. Save your money and buy a "real" plane.

The first link is it.

2 ch radio, probably throttle and rudder. Claims it will go 300 meters high (@900 ft) I doubt it but why anyway. Dismensions don't appear to be correct in ad. Stay away unless you have money to burn. If so, send it to me. j/k

RE: Is this a good plane?
 

What about the Sky Raider Mach I or Mach II? They're only about $55 at my LHS and from what I've heard very good planes.

Actually, I'm going to make a post about the Mach II so... don't bother replying to that, reply in my new post instead (I want opinions). Sorry. :)

RE: Is this a good plane?
 

Are they complete with radio and everything

RE: Is this a good plane?
 

No.... Okay, I see your point.

But you didn't say that in your original post! :)

RE: Is this a good plane?
 

OK Kiswa, I updated my other post just for you.
