well I can tell one to stay the h away from! I am an experienced flyer and know something about rc in spite of the parkzone owners smart ass comments ..I bought an edge 540.with 25 years under my belt i do believe I can handle it .but when it arrived it went to together rtather quickly but didnt work.okay I was the dumb one this time I installed the double aa batteries wrong.that should suggest the tx is cheap.. and I got that reversed and still no results.the tx works and the li po's indicate full charge..I havent flown electric just giant and sport gass but this toy leaves alot to be desired so dont buy it .
