Read First Before Buy HobbyZone Main Wing Champ

From my understanding, I am writing a review of the Champ main wing, not the plane. But I would like to talk about flying the plane too. With that said, I am really pleased with this product.

The wing came in a white box that was packed with a filler brown paper and the wing was perfect and in mint condition. Although it is a darker orange than my original wing, it is more than what I was expecting. I agree with others that say it's a pretty steep price, but that's something to expect when you're really in the hobby.

Now, for those that think this is an "easy to fly" rc plane, it's not. Unless you live in nevernever land and there is NO wind, not even an occasional breeze, around your house or park or wherever you fly, it'll be quite an experience trying to learn to fly with no control. This is a light-weight, hobby grade, remote controlled aircraft. It requires a large area with no wind or a large gymnasium. The foam, remote, battery, and even the ultra-micro servos are high quality for the scale they're in. These components are legitimate and need to be understood before ridiculed.

As with every area of R/C, you will spend well over the original price of the product, some more then others. Something that doesn't leave the ground (such as remote controlled cars) requires less for repair finances. But, with planes and helicopters, a crash is a crash and 99% of the time you'll have to spend money to get back in flying condition. If you are going to really invest in learning how to fly, my advice to you is to be patient and don't expect to be an expert just because this is a learners' plane.

Although I own other R/C devices and have even built some myself, because of the small scale it is hard to fine tune this plane. I would suggest bringing it into a hobby shop and having a professional tune it for you. That way you aren't trying to fly something that can't even fly straight on its own!

All in all, I found this a good buy and I love flying this plane. Good luck on your future flights!
