Read First Before Buy ParkZone Ember 2 RTF Aircraft
I have been playing with those $30 Air Hog planes for a couple years now. The Ember 2 is definitely worth the higher price. I became adept with it after only an hour or so. I can now do loops, fly it inverted, and land it gracefully. Having an elevator control means that I can get it on the ground when it encounters a strong wind at altitude. It is flyable in light breezes, unlike the Air Hogs.
Almost all my flying time with this one has been on rough gravel in the desert. I crashed it quite few times at first, including power dives into the rocks, with no real damage to the plane. When I crashed it upside down while flying inverted it broke the prop, bent the prop shaft, and--I thought--destroyed the rudder. As it turns out, it simply tore the hinge tape on the rudder. A quick trip to the local hobby shop got me a roll of hinge tape, a new prop, a bottle of foam-safe CA glue (just in case), and a new prop shaft, all for under twenty dollars. If I had needed a new tail assembly, they had them in stock.
I had a problem with the transmitter binding to the plane and called Horizon Hobby tech support. I left a message rather than sitting on hold. They called me back in a couple hours and walked me through the fix. I was very pleased.
Two years later: After two years of intermittent use, this thing is still great fun. I have broken no more parts, although I have gone through a few batteries. I have crashed it dozens and dozens of times. I like the challenge of flying it in light breezes, something I can't do with my RC helicopter.
