It's hard to write a bad review of such a pretty plane, but the one I received deserves it, unfortunately. Binding and set-up went fine, and I took it out for it's maiden flight. Take off was straight forward and I flew it up to about 3 mistakes high... Did a loop, a couple rolls and then from level flight, the rudder drove hard left and the plane spiraled into the ground. I could SEE the rudder deflected, but no response to the stick. It was a total loss. I didn't even bother to strip the electronics from this one. Bummer.
Update:issue has been resolved. Receiever/ESC was replaced. I'm no expert on the reason for why, But she now flies the way it should out of the box. No fault to Amain. But I greatly appreciate the help they gave to me in correcting the issue as best as they could. Now that I can fly it, amazing bird. Alot of fun. 4 stars because I couldn't fly out the box and required maintenance. 5 stars to Amain Hobbies for offering help when I didn't bother to ask.
Fun, scale detailed plane. It doesn’t do any one thing spectacularly special but is stable and a good flyer. Great size between a UMX and a meter plane.
Micro Draco 800 mm is an excellent RC. Amain Hobbies is an awesome company to order from, great communication, very fast shipping and excellent prices. My go to hobby online hobby shop.
Great little plane fun to fly gets off the ground fast!
