Wonderful little airplane for beginners. My son, who is 9.5 years old, can fly it satisfactorily for about 30 seconds. You need a huge space without trees nearby, with ideal ground being grass to avoid wear during landing. The motor's battery lasts about 7-8 minutes of flight (more than 2 minutes is extremely difficult to stay continuously in the air). And of course, there should be calm weather....max 1 Beaufort. It fully charges in 15 minutes. For its price, I consider it a fair choice.
