First of all, I fly as a man in his late twenties for the past six months, an X-Twin sports, which I speak also of the FF. However, since I put a heavy box on him, I bent a motor shaft and made him unable to fly. Replacement was needed. And I came across the "DUET", priced similar to an X-Twin, but with elevator! So ordered and curious what since so would. It was at first glance a rather fragile-looking foam flyer (The X-Twins seem indestructible, they are almost too), especially the tail makes a pretty thin impression. Overall, the flyer acts was slightly but dün and a perfect finish. The remote control reminds a little of a gamepad and the battery is as large as 4-5 in matches around. Nevertheless, everything was in the package that you need to fly, even 4 AA batteries for the transmitter were there. So wait no wind (best chance you have in the late evening twilight) charged, the transmitter battery in about 40 minutes and went to the horse pasture around the corner. First of all: Starts the plane not in the garden on the road or the like, but it needs a lot of space (minimum approximately 100x100 meters). So attached battery on the plane, started with about 90% boost from his hand and ... he flies cream. I prepared myself for a trim-out before, but this was accounted for entirely. Good straight flight, jagged and simultaneously secure curves, it flies really well. The "Virtual Trainer" compensates for any slight gusts or the like well, an electronic gyroscope (as in the smartphone) ensures a very safe level flight, and even like winds or the like from. One can even ask him him a slight wind and levitate almost on the spot at about 20% thrust. The differential control works well if not very good, no comparison to the delayed and hectic X-Twins. I was cocky and tried a looping ... ON MY FIRST FLIGHT ... works ... 1A! Doppelloop ... no problem! The plane responds promptly to the smallest control command. One can say the plane flies view very easily, but you should know a bit how does an RC airplane, to practice so bring an X-Twin previously, -). I tried a low Überflug..RUMMS ... since the aircraft hanging in the fence. Surprisingly, not a scratch, the achsodünne styrofoam-like material is more stable than we thought. After about 5 minutes more, accident-free flight, I sat on the charge because the battery went empty (indicated by a pulsating engine noise), this was quite ugly in tall grass instead ... no damage. I summarize: - Very docile handling - Complete zusammengbaut and ready to fly - No trimming required (at least in my case) - Virtual Trainer "autopilot" funktionier good - At first glance, fragile, but "relatively" in use Robust - Range is ok (to about 70m it went) - Battery is very small and unfortunately stops just 5 minutes - Overall great for beginners over the age of 18 - For children, however, a little too complicated, I think, since 3 channels must be operated as an X-Twin is certainly the better choice, especially as the X-Twins are still robust (The DUET makes but 1,000 times more fun)
At the price overall a very strong buy recommendation
