This Radio-controlled plane has an easy to use motion-sensitive joystick and is well suited for learners. The revolutionary joystick controller makes controlling the plane simple and intuitive. Turn the joystick left or right and the planes direction changes. The plane has a shape-memory plastic construction so that the crashes and scrapes you have as you learn t fly dont end up with you wrecking the plane. These types of RC aeroplanes really teach kids about how planes fly - and there is many a Dad who loves flying them too!
