 R/C Flying Superman - Up, up and away.... July 3, 2006
24 out of 25 found this review helpful
I am an avid R/C enthusiast - I couldn't wait to try this toy and see if it really flew! So here is the scoop....
1) There should be almost NO wind present if you want any chance of a successful flight - resist the temptation to fly in gusty or strong winds. 2) The right and left controls are VERY sensistive - a turn requires about one second of control input - any more than that and the turn will become a massive SPIRAL - it looks cool - but you may only get one chance to see it! 3) Fly in a LARGE open area.. Bottom line - very cool toy - It does fly, in fact it looks very cool in flight. It is very quick for a plane like this. If you have low wind, go easy on the controls and have a big area to fly it in you should have a blast - if not, choose something else so your not disappointed.
Superman Flies! September 23, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
First, let me say, this is the first RC plane of any type that I have ever flown. After thouroghly reading the instructions last night, this afternoon I took Supes on his maiden voyage. I did have some crashes, but after about 10 - 20 minutes of trial and error, I started getting some decent flights. I admit I was skeptical at first, but this thing actualy does fly! It does have a tendency to veer to the right, but once I got the hang of it I was able to fairly easily compensate for it by steering in the other direction (I have not tried using the included weights to balance it yet). Keys to a successful flight: 1) needs a LARGE open area: for example, we used a soccer field 2)wind must be relatively calm 3)follow the instructions for proper release/launch. When you're flying you'll probably want to keep it over a soft grassy area, Supes earned a few battle scars landing in the road (nothing major though). I must say, my son and I had a blast watching him fly!
Note: It may be a little too difficult for younger kids to fly themselves.

This toy is very fun. It takes about an hour to learn to fly it and to properly weight the wings. You definitely need a litle wind to keep it in the air. Do not be discouraged by the crashes in the beginning. Make sure you fly it in a big open field - it is a pain to get it out of a tree. Be patient and have fun. This toy is great for all comic fans and for r/c beginners who want an inexpesive and duarble r/c plane.
Not for young kids January 13, 2007

GOOD PART: This thing will fly high,soar on currents, and is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. I would recommend it to someone with at least SOME experience! The controls are touchy and it will spiral to the ground if you hold too long. It's pretty tough and will take some hard hits without damage. BAD PART : I only got eight good charges out of eight AA batteries and am experimenting with charging from a 12V mower battery. Rechargeable AA's ("Pure Energy") are available from a Canadian company. A great plane for kids is the little bi-plane from "Air Hog". It's practically bulletproof, easy to fly, and doesn't eat up batteries.

I found the item to be well made and easy to use. It was a clever idea and my grandson enjoyed it a lot. Using Amazon was also a plus, no crowds to contend with.
