Megatech Phantom Jet 2-Channel Electric RC Aerobatic Jet #MTC 9613 Review

Ok, I normally don’t write product reviews but this one deserves some praise. The airplane is easy to fly and durable due to the type of foam, the lightness of the plane and the shape of the body and wings which are more structural than other planes we bought. My six year old son and I have a real good time with this in our backyard and the plane handles hitting the occasional tree, bush or other objects well not to mention a hard landing or two, three or more. And yes, it is still in one piece. This is much more than I can say when comparing to other planes we bought that were cheaply made or didn’t fly at all. The size and speed are perfect for yards although a little more room is nice if you want to do more acrobatic flights or for covering more distance. The twin engines are more than capable of powering this plane to do loops (full throttle), level flight (quarter throttle) and turns (the plane turns by varying the speed of the props). I was skeptical about the maneuverability of only using prop speed for control but was happily surprised on how agile the plane really is. The wings are configured for lift. The more power you apply the higher the plane will climb. You can get the plane pretty high too, cut the engines to produce a stall then get a cool nose dive where the plane’s wing shape automatically level it out for a nice glide approach. The charger is very convenient. Just open a door on the controller where a small cable is and plug it into the plane. It charges in under 10 minutes for about 15 minutes of flight. All in all,very satisfied with this airplane. Will probably be getting a second for my daughter so she and my son can fly at the same time.
Positives:
+Easy to fly
+Durable for a beginner
+Just the right size for neighborhood or small park flight
+Solid engine thrust and durable propellers
+Maneuverability
+The blinking lights are a great touch (the kids love it, especially when it gets a little dark!)
Negatives:
-I’ll write back when we discover one but in the meantime, my kids and I will continue to have many hours of fun with this airplane!
