4 out of 5 stars You would believe a man can fly!   May 7, 2008
I'm into rc planes, so I couldn't resist the idea of a flying superman. Clever, the cape is delta wing with two electric motors for differential control. It's durable, it hit the ground a few times. Once I got it balanced out (needed two plastic disks at the back of the cape)so it wouldn't nose in with a full charge it can fly. Light or no winds, and a large soccer field is required for maximum fun. Sometimes the motors would cutout just before a hand launch, but with a light toss it can gain altitude (full throttle). Only disappointment is the requirement for 8 AA batteries for the transmitter. Should have been nicads (4) and a cigarette plug in charger like the Parkzone products from Horizon Hobby.


3 out of 5 stars R/C Flying Superman, Really flies.   August 15, 2007
Is a very funny toy, really it flies, but you need to get some practice and patience to fly it. Needs a little wind a more wind make your superman crash, needs too a very large open area, is for children over 10-12 years age or for adults with a lot of patience, be careful, if it drops and crash (2-5 times) very probably gets broke.


4 out of 5 stars If you know R/C its good for you, if not get and Areo Ace!   March 9, 2007

**If you have NO R/C flight knowledge dont NOT get this get an AirHogs Areo Ace! You will love it and you cant hurt them.

Ok this item is a 2ch diffrental thrust r/c plane er.. superman. It will fly, and pretty fast too! Its basicly a delta with two pusher motors, and a Sanyo 120mah Nimh pack, it gets about 5 mins of flight time, the control range is great for a product like this 27mhz not sure of the CH #. It flys fast and range cut out at about 200' Alot of potential for upgrades to real hobby gear.

I found the item to be well made and easy to use. It was a clever idea and my grandson enjoyed it a lot. Using Amazon was also a plus, no crowds to contend with.


4 out of 5 stars Not for young kids   January 13, 2007

GOOD PART: This thing will fly high,soar on currents, and is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. I would recommend it to someone with at least SOME experience! The controls are touchy and it will spiral to the ground if you hold too long. It's pretty tough and will take some hard hits without damage. BAD PART : I only got eight good charges out of eight AA batteries and am experimenting with charging from a 12V mower battery. Rechargeable AA's ("Pure Energy") are available from a Canadian company. A great plane for kids is the little bi-plane from "Air Hog". It's practically bulletproof, easy to fly, and doesn't eat up batteries.
