This is the E-flite Leader 480 Park Flyer Airplane Kit. The nimble Leader 480 is the fun-to-fly sport plane that is ideal for anyone interested in precision aerobatics. Its light wing loading will put any intermediate pilot at ease when flying on the slow side of the envelope. But for those who really want to wring it out, the Leader’s symmetrical airfoil and classic pattern plane lines allow it to fly precision aerobatics with the best of them. Assembly is so simple, it could easily be flight-ready in a single evening. Plus, it's small enough to put in the backseat or trunk of a car and fly most anywhere park flyers are allowed.

E-flite Leader 480 Park Flyer Electric Airplane Kit (1090mm)
THIS IS MY FIRST PLANE AND IT HAS VERY GOOD FLIGHT CARACTERISTICS, GOOD FOR FIRST TIMERS. ALSO IT HAS A VERY LARGE BATTERY CAVITY AND I AM USING THE 3200 MAH BATTERY IN IT WITH NO PROBLEMS CONCERNING BALANCING, YOU WILL GET ABOUT 15 MINUTES FLY TIME WITH THE BIG BATTERY BUT IT WONT HOLD A KNIFE EDGE, LOOPS,ROLLS,SLOW SNAP ROLLS CAN BE DONE. FOR ME THIS IS A PERFECT FLYER BECAUSE OF THE FLY TIME I CAN DO SEVERAL LANDING ATTEMPTS WITHOUT WORRY. ALSO IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL HARD LANDINGS WITH NO BREAKAGE EXCEPT FOR TALL GRASS TOOK OUT A PROP. I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFULL FOR YOU

Prices are good. Variety is good. Customer service is good. Unfortunately waiting time for items is slow. It’s been over one month and have not received my plane yet.
