I got this plane as a present from my girlfriend and it flies great. The flight time is nice (about 8-10 mins) and looks great in the air. The battery charges on the remote so it makes it very convenient....although it means you have to buy more double A's. Mid-flight it seemed like the differential thrust (rudder) was routed backwards so I landed it but realized that the radio cannot be modified. I recommend the bind and fly version since I do not know too much on how I will be able to change the differential thrust now.
