This one can do that too, but it can also sit on its wheels, build speed along a flat surface and climb away under its own power, which is a considerably better moment to be standing next to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is quick enough to fly proper circuits rather than short hops, with the built-in gyroscope helping to keep everything settled between your inputs. That is the difference between a remote control plane that comes out twice and one that comes out every dry weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCharge the aircraft battery using the supplied USB cable, fit two AA batteries into the controller and the RC aircraft is ready to fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo propellers sit on top of the wings and turn in opposite directions, cancelling out the twisting force each one would create on its own. Control is two-channel: the throttle sets speed and climb, while steering works by driving one propeller harder than the other so the aircraft turns towards the slower side. There are no moving control surfaces like a conventional model aircraft, so there is less to bend, jam or adjust after an awkward landing. A 3-axis gyroscope runs in the background and holds the aircraft level between inputs, making a fast radio controlled plane much easier to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for everyday use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fuselage is moulded from lightweight EPP foam, with ABS propellers. EPP foam compresses on impact and springs back rather than cracking, which matters given how most flights end while you are still learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 34.2cm long with a 24.8cm wingspan, the aircraft is large enough to follow comfortably against the sky while remaining light enough for a child to carry to the flying spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage \u0026amp; space\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe propellers and landing gear fit before the first flight and stay on afterwards, so the aircraft stores flat on a shelf or back in its box between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGround take-offs need a flat hard surface such as a path, tennis court or quiet car park, since the wheels are too small to roll through grass. If a suitable runway is not available, the plane can also be launched by hand. Once airborne, it needs open sky well away from roads, trees, buildings and overhead cables, ideally on a calm day. A large park with a paved path running through it gives you both options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft length: 34.2cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWingspan: 24.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: EPP foam fuselage with ABS propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl system: Two-channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency: 2.4GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl range: Up to 120 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStabilisation: 3-axis gyroscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanding gear: Fixed tricycle, three wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake-off options: Ground take-off or hand launch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft battery: 3.7V rechargeable lithium (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlight time: Approximately 10 minutes per charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharging: USB cable included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eController batteries: 2 × AA (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer age marking: 14+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: EN71 and EN IEC 62115.
