Default Infomercial Electric R/C plane

Hi,

I don't remember the brand, but I purchased a very small, very low cost
radio control airplane for my son and it was a failure. The wingspan was so
short that it needed to fly pretty fast and was underpowered to the point
that we never had any good flights. It used 2 props with differential prop
speeds to turn. forward stick added power to both props for climbing. Back
stick put both props to a low speed. It cost about $30.

I'm looking forward receiving the $104 electric glider with 3 channel
radio - ready to fly. What a great deal!

The Airhog AeroAce electric R/C is about 30 dollars, flies very slowly,
and
very well.
Being slow, it is easy for kids to learn to fly. Unfortunately, it
doesn't
like much wind.
It can be flown very easily in a gymnasium, though.

There are sites on the Internet with modifications and so forth. It's
become
its own sub-genre in the R/C world.
