- SYMA X550 RC Plane, 4 CH Remote Control Airplane with High/Low Speed, One-Key Takeoff/Landing, Stunt Flight Modes, Army Model Plane Gift for Kids, Beginners & Adults

This RC plane has been fantastic, consistently works great, 8 year old took almost no time to figure out how to fly it. Longer battery life would have course be nice but at this price point it delivers.

Love it! Simple to control for my 5 and 8 year old kids. Would be great if it had a bit bigger battery, but it's perfect for the little trinket it is.

Es bastante divertido pero un poco complicado de controlar al principio, pero bastante entretenido👍

This was a big hit at Christmas. Although the model is smaller than I expected, it was easy to operate and had excellent battery life.

Great toy with a little drone experience

My 7 yo grandson and I have both flown the 3.5 channel Syma 107 helicopters. I wanted to try a 4 channel so bought him a Syma X550 which is patterned after the Army V-22 Osprey. With the 4 channel system it has the ability to fly sideways which is the difference between the 4 channel vs the 3.5 channel which cannot fly sideways. It was opened on Christmas morning and flown in the house. I anticipated a learning curve as it would be more like a real helicopter with the 4 channel. I put on the prop protectors and would highly recommend using them. We started flying without reading any instructions. It needed some trim adjustments which we didn't figure out how to do until watching at several YouTube videos. Our learning curve was more complicated without better trim, but fun as we had multiple wrecks with no damage. The 3.5 channel relies on only the right stick for Left/right (=rudder) control whereas on this drone the left stick serves this purpose. The right stick tilts the drone to the left/right (=ailerons) allowing straight sideways flight. Being used to the right stick for turning, it required practice to acclimate to using both sticks together to get correct turns. My grandson and I were both having fun and were determined to get flight down. I would highly recommend being smarter than I was. Go to YouTube to learn how to adjust trim and flying will be much easier if it is trimmed out to begin with. For an absolute beginner or someone more easily frustrated I would stick with the 3.5 channel helicopters at least until one has some flying experience. One might learn on this model but it definitely requires more patience.

This RC helicopter is very fast the rotors are crazy it very durable atleast with guards inside the house on the controllers smaller than a ps4 controller, the buttons for up make it go vertical and then move around forward. you gotta stablize it from flying into the walls automatically or land it right away. I definitely like it but it's just crazy to control.

This osprey replica as a drone is just amazing the battery also lasts for a good 15-20 minutes of use, but that is with flying outside going about I would say 5-10mph maybe even more which is a decent speed for a drone like this. It is also very easy to use if you have never flown a drone before. It is a great value for its money it has not broken on me at all over the 10 uses.
