Sky Viper Vector Stunt Plane

Great fun. I call this this futuristic RC fighter plane the X-2000 Vector. It looks like it could be part of the rumored Aurora program. Something that could fly up to the edge of space. It could be by the Northrup Grumman company or something if it were real. Flying time aint bad. I cranked the holy bastard up as high as I could in the sky and when high enough I did rolls and loops with it. When doing loops it goes even higher still. Supper fast. Almost a mini version of hypersonic. Very realistic and futuristic hundreds of feet high. To land it ; very straightforward; just cut the throttle all the way down down and just let it glide in. just run the flaps with the right lever to turn it and just glide in in with the jet engines cut. Leave flaps in neutral position with the right lever in the middle unless your turning. Just beware; the plane responds and steers more to the flaps when turning with the right lever than using the thrust vectoring/differential thrust steering turning with the left throttle lever being moved left and right Either one will work but its more responsive with its turns with the right lever for the flaps. When I fly it I like to pretend that I am engaging in dogfights in space. When flying it i like to act like a big KID. That's how much fun it is . After all it turns loose the eternal kid in me ; right? Flying this thing would turn loose the Big Kid in ALL of us.

From the perspective of a 13 year old aviation “geek” I got this plane December 2023 and it flew amazing. Its slim design and durable material protects it from rough landings. Unlike the other planes I have ordered like a 130$ 4 channel P-51 mustang, This plane has been better than all of them. It is very easy to control even with a simple remote and if you are advanced like me you can preform some crazy maneuvers. Even 1 year later and getting stuck in a tree for 1 whole week it still can fly like it is brand new. Some things that I dislike about is the landing gear being week and made out of plastic not foam. Also the propellers always break or fall off a fix to this is to change the landing gear design to protect the propellers from hitting the ground.

This plane was never even flown. The battery included in the package is not strong enough to allow the plane to fly. I don't recommend buying this until the problem is resolved. I have received 2 so far that are defective. Plane pictured with 3.7v 1200mAh battery, received with 3.7v 500mAh battery. BIG difference.

A friend of mine awhile back purchased some gifts from this company for my nephews, being gel blasters. I was shopping for another gift for them and stumbled upon this and thought it looked unique and interesting and wasn't just another Gel Blaster (We have 3 already now). I've been extremely impressed by this little plane, and my nephews have picked up how to operate it quite quickly. I remember getting toys like this back when I was younger (31) and remember none of them performing anywhere near as well as this. Had I had this when I was young I don't think I'd have needed another remote control plane or anything similar. It's quite a powerful little plane, and for the price I definitely was NOT expecting it to perform as well as it has. It takes off with no issue whatsoever, immediately soaring upwards and being able to fly similarly in performance to some higher end planes. Controls response time is extremely quick, which I wasn't expecting and I was expecting there to be some delay but it works almost immediately. Construction is fantastic being made out of foam, so it works well as a little starter plane when learning how to use it, or as just the only plane you could use if you just want something to pick up and mess around with and aren't really into such a hobby. Comes with tape which can be used to repair any damage it sustains, and the nose of the plane is made of some sort of rubber(?) material which bounces back if it's hit on the nose, so there's no issue with running it face first into something when learning how to land it.

This was a gift for my 12-year old nephew. It performed perfectly for take off and the flight. The landing was "touchy". I feel that the unit should have a bit of automation to teach young "pilots" how to handle this difficult task. Unfortunately, he crashed on the first flight and the aircraft was damaged.

The following review was written by the account holder's 11-year-old son: I purchased this plane about a week ago, and it came right on time. Only, it was missing the charger! Thankfully, I own other RCs, and so had the right charger. I took it to the park to fly it the same day and was very impressed. The loop and roll stunts are easy to use, (I looped into the goal in the video I attached) and it flies very fast. It is very durable, so don’t worry about crash landings. The only problem I had was that battery life is short and I can’t use other batteries that I have because they are too heavy. I can’t seem to find batteries of the right size for sale, and so will be reaching out to the company to ask about that. A word of advice, take off the landing gear and throw to the plane to launch. Otherwise, you will have to have a very, very smooth surface to take of on. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and would definitely recommend this plane to anyone who can handle high speed and a whole lot of fun! Update: I have now found a battery that works: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095799C1L/?coliid=I3IPEENJ67TKGW&colid=SFLWJB3KEVOE&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it The only problem is that about 45 seconds before the low battery alarm, because of the small amount of added weight, it will be very hard to make the plane climb.

Do not buy. This was our second time purchasing this plane. The first was a Black Friday sale at Target and with winter weather it wasn't flown for several months. In this model one motor was reversed so all it would do was spin into the ground. Thought that we would give it another chance and found this one at a reduced price because it was a return. In this one the motors were in the correct direction so we gave it another try. With a fully charged new battery it had no power. The best it would do was float a little and then glide down to the ground. The videos on the internet show a speedy well flying plane but not ours. A waste of time driving out to the flying field. Perhaps another buyer might luck out and get a good one. I wouldn't bother. Will return this one.

It's okay, but harder to control than others.
