This is an electronic version of the airplanes we all bought when we were kids. You know the one with the rubberband that you rotated and then released. Just that this one will fly for longer, until it comes crashing down. The "adjustable flight patern" is done through the calibrations of the wings and the tail. you can make it go in big circles but like i said, this isn't anything special. A little bit of wind and your plane will hit the floor. Not worth the money.
