Sky Viper Vector Stunt Plane

A friend of mine awhile back purchased some gifts from this company for my nephews, being gel blasters. I was shopping for another gift for them and stumbled upon this and thought it looked unique and interesting and wasn't just another Gel Blaster (We have 3 already now). I've been extremely impressed by this little plane, and my nephews have picked up how to operate it quite quickly.I remember getting toys like this back when I was younger (31) and remember none of them performing anywhere near as well as this. Had I had this when I was young I don't think I'd have needed another remote control plane or anything similar.It's quite a powerful little plane, and for the price I definitely was NOT expecting it to perform as well as it has. It takes off with no issue whatsoever, immediately soaring upwards and being able to fly similarly in performance to some higher end planes. Controls response time is extremely quick, which I wasn't expecting and I was expecting there to be some delay but it works almost immediately.Construction is fantastic being made out of foam, so it works well as a little starter plane when learning how to use it, or as just the only plane you could use if you just want something to pick up and mess around with and aren't really into such a hobby. Comes with tape which can be used to repair any damage it sustains, and the nose of the plane is made of some sort of rubber(?) material which bounces back if it's hit on the nose, so there's no issue with running it face first into something when learning how to land it.

I had three, one's motor shaft that holds the propeller broke, the second one came broken in the package. the third one had the same problem as the first

The media could not be loaded. The following review was written by the account holder's 11-year-old son:I purchased this plane about a week ago, and it came right on time. Only, it was missing the charger! Thankfully, I own other RCs, and so had the right charger. I took it to the park to fly it the same day and was very impressed. The loop and roll stunts are easy to use, (I looped into the goal in the video I attached) and it flies very fast. It is very durable, so don’t worry about crash landings. The only problem I had was that battery life is short and I can’t use other batteries that I have because they are too heavy. I can’t seem to find batteries of the right size for sale, and so will be reaching out to the company to ask about that. A word of advice, take off the landing gear and throw to the plane to launch. Otherwise, you will have to have a very, very smooth surface to take of on. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and would definitely recommend this plane to anyone who can handle high speed and a whole lot of fun!Update:I have now found a battery that works: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095799C1L/?coliid=I3IPEENJ67TKGW&colid=SFLWJB3KEVOE&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_itThe only problem is that about 45 seconds before the low battery alarm, because of the small amount of added weight, it will be very hard to make the plane climb.

The media could not be loaded. From the perspective of a 13 year old aviation “geek” I got this plane December 2023 and it flew amazing. Its slim design and durable material protects it from rough landings. Unlike the other planes I have ordered like a 130$ 4 channel P-51 mustang, This plane has been better than all of them. It is very easy to control even with a simple remote and if you are advanced like me you can preform some crazy maneuvers. Even 1 year later and getting stuck in a tree for 1 whole week it still can fly like it is brand new.Some things that I dislike about is the landing gear being week and made out of plastic not foam. Also the propellers always break or fall off a fix to this is to change the landing gear design to protect the propellers from hitting the ground.

Very maneuverable and stable. long take-off distance which is why it is better to launch it from your hand. landing is very simple, but you only have about 10-15 minutes flying before the battery dies. other than those, it is a great drone and would highly recommend it.

Kept trying to fly into the ground. Was barely able to stay airborne

We had it charging with other items in a charger station. Something we've done with many other rechargeable device batteries. All of a sudden smoke was coming from that room and our fire alarm went off and when we went in the room the battery pack was in flames. We removed it from the charger station and put it out, but if it would have happened while we were not home, it could have been catastrophic.

My boys love this plane. They are the world’s most destructive boys when it comes to flight toys and this plane has survived many flights. The only complaint is that the charge doesn’t last very long - maybe 15-20 minutes.
