I'm not trying to thread crap or anything but I'd save my money and stay away from these cheap $75 airplances. Chances are you'll have more fun burning this money with gasoline and a match.

It's one thing to have a negative comment about this particular plane, but a blanket statement based only on the price doesn't help much.

This is a mid-level Estes kit. I have no idea if it flies well or not, but they generally don't make crap.

Walmart's original price on this was $129.

I think this looks like a decent entry level RC plane for the money. It looks pretty cool from the picture. I agree that Estes should be of decent quality. For $75 you can't complain too much. I would rather pay $75 and have it destroyed by my reckless flying than spend more to do the same. As for setting my money on fire, I don't have money to burn so that would not be very fun.

Yeah, and keep in mind the low cost is also because this is Wal-Mart. I'm sure it's about 30% more anywhere else. Interesting find!
