You get what you pay for part deux...

Here are some pictures of two of the cheap RC planes I just imported from my contact in China. They look real promissing out of the box, but I've yet to get them to fly more than 20' or so before hitting the ground -- don't fly them on your street, you need a park with space.

The red one is a low wing configuration...
The yellow version is a top wing type...


I was hoping they would fly as good as my Fastlane Arrow Flight that I got at Toys-R-Us for $20...The yellow one is close, but not as good -- see my attached comment for my pros & cons list. I still haven't had a good chance at trying the red one.

Update...I flew the yellow one at my favorite field today and it actually flew OK. PROS: it flies and is controlable, CONS: the throttle is either on or off, no stepping like with my Fastlane Arrow Flight; And, the props are brittle (I've already broken one, while my Arrow Flight has hit pavement several times with no issues)
