I've bought in the past few model airplanes and have failed miserably ever when flying - nothing but frustration. This aircraft is incomparably awesome easy to fly and it's addictive :-) Even with the cheaper batteries flies it perfectly and if you do not constantly at full throttle and turning loops, one creates almost 30 minutes by a rechargeable battery. There are three important rules to be observed 1. There must be absolutely no wind. 2. Start the beginning of the hand in a meadow and trees shun 3. If you end up (intentionally or not): Gas way This can really everyone ... and it's great fun.
