Just a little demonstration on how cool these things actually are if you fly them right. Good for the money. If your plane wobbles left, right, left, right as it's flying, you can add some weight to it up front in the battery compartment. A nickle or a few dimes works well.. The plane should fly straight with some weight.

Oct 10, 2008 - well, nobody knows them better than someone who's gone through 4 of them like me!! hahaha.. lemme know if you want to know ANYTHING. You are most likely going to have to add a little bit of weight in the front cockpit. BeeBee's work great. It stops the plane from rocking back n' forth through the air. Again, lemme know if you have any questions bout it. It can be a bitch to fly the first few times.

Oct 10, 2008 - Time to dust off my red and black xpvI hate the fact that they dont have any rudders Let and right turns by use of engine power kinda sux but pretty cool how much air them tiny motors move
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - oh yeah, I don't like that they don't have rudders either but for the price I guess they aren't that bad.. they turn pretty good if you tap the left and right which you probably already know. I think i'm going to buy the "Stryker" jet.. have you seen them? $160 will get you everything. they can go 80mph

directorPlz Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Well it is just a toy, not a pro-class hobby vehicle. This is my first time playing planes, used to play 1/10 RC stadium truks.For barely 60 bucks, this thing is worth the money, got mine 2 weeks ago and wheels got off, now i have to catch it with my hands.I dont like the fact it cannot fly straight, always goes up out of my sight.
slammerbammer Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Actually , they should have wheels .. You didnt need to throw 'em But its fine too ! Either way works !
zmatt Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - I think yours flys better than mine, it takes a bit to take off and it does not climb very well, it keeps slowly descending when it turns even with full power.

Oct 10, 2008 - Storm launcher is better....!
hahaitzkevinxp Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - my plastic frame around the propellar snapped in half but its still intact. shud i just crazy glue it or remove theme? Also the foam in the front of the plane is chipping off due to rough landings. How should i fix that. To fly this thing you need allloottt of friggin space. shadow hawk 2.0 owns! lol nice vids!
hahayuranidiot Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - too bad you only get like 4 minutes of flight time with Storm launcher and 3 hours to charge the stupid battery. I had the storm launcher and returned it real quick after I saw how much power it uses.
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - yeah I agree with hahayuranidiot, I didn't like the storm launcher because of the flight time.. this XPV plane seems like you get a lot of time out of it before you have to charge it.
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - i'd try to crazy glue them or wrap tape around them because they protect the propellers. For the foam in front, just put strips of tape.. that's prolly the most you can do.

Oct 10, 2008 - i like the way u fly the plane and teach me some tricks
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - thanx, yeah it took me a few crashes before I learned that you have to do short and quick bursts with the left/right stick if you want to turn. Once you get that down, the rest comes easy! To do a barrel roll, get it real high, the hold to the right or left untill you want it to stop rolling.

Oct 10, 2008 - WOWi was gona buy that but alot of ppl said its not that goodi regreat listening to themITS pretty kool
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - yeah they aren't bad at all if you learn how to fly em' right. The people who say they suck are the people who haven't practiced with them enough.
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - yeah they aren't bad if you learn how to fly em'. The people who say they aren't that good are the people who haven't practiced with them enough yet. Good for the price.

Oct 10, 2008 - hey do you get the charger or not?
adam4731 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Do u know if the storm launcher is as good as this or worth it for the money??
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - yeah a lot of people don't know how to fly it so they just assume it sucks.. when you turn left or right, the KEY is to just tap it.. quick.. and keep doing it until you don't want to turn anymore.. Most people just hold it down and it cauzes it to crash.
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - I had the storm launcher and took it back because it only allowed like 4 or 5 minutes of flight time if that. It took a LOT of power to fly it and just wasn't worth the 3 hour charge that it took to charge it. I like the XPV plane way better.
bms77 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - the charger and batter are separate.. i think $30 for both and $40 or $50 for the plane.
halo7982 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - actually, I got the Storm Launcher and took it back because the XPV plane was better.. Storm launcher is more powerful and can do more stuff but the battery life is only like 5 min. and then you have to charge the damn thing for 3 hours.. Not worth it to me. The XPV plane lasts a while in the air.. I like it better
