Also single usb battery charger doesn't work. I bought a multiple battery charger that works fine.
Otherwise plane flies well. With low motor output (about half previous full output) am gaining experience in slow flight maneuvering.
DOWNSIDE, I have had several of this type of plane with these small batteries and thin wires, a couple of them for many years. After about three flights and being very careful when removing battery, one wire from the battery lead broke just past the motor and another broke for one of the ailerons. I went ahead and repaired them but concerned about these thin wires doing this again.
This plane is super fun. The safe mode is excellent for me. Love that option.
I wish the tires were bigger to roll over pebbles and sand easier. Even being so light it sinks in sand.
I took off with the controller NOT in safe mode and was able to get around for a bit till I got disoriented, close to a tree, cut the throttle, hard banked away and it glided into the skinniest, twig of a tree I've ever seen...broke the top shift instead of the motor shaft. Order a few of those and back in the air...in safe mode. LoL. Got 3 batteries through before the breeze picked up and I could no longer keep control.
Absolute blast with this plane.
But I want to say just how great it is dealing with AMain Hobbies. I have just had one of the worst Customer Experiences I have ever had in dealing with one of the major RC companies (which shall remain nameless but I'm sure you can guess!) It has been a breath of fresh air to deal with AMain and their Customer Support. THANKS!
