Great 1st/2nd plane. Goes together again with glue & tape; lots of possible modding/upgrading possibilities.

Not sure what you want to know about the Stryker but I bought one as a first plane/first electric having flown (sort of!) a Raptor 30 heli for a few

years. It cost me =A3140 ($240), I took it out the box, stuck the nose on, slotted the fins on and flew it first time on beginner setting no problem at all. Was able to do loops and rolls easily and just had a problem landing it

- but the all foam construction saved that. I think it looks brilliant in the air and has a good turn of speed together with close to 10 mins airtime per charge. It needs a good chuck to launch it to prevent it "mushing" and don't be

tempted to trim out the nose-up attitude it adopts 'cos if you do the plane will nose down when the motor stops, leading to a hasty landing! The only down side is that the supplied charger takes almost an hour to

recharge the battery but a couple of batteries would solve that problem and in any case it gives you a chance to get your breath back! Also you have to remember that it is just a large lump of foam so it can only be flown in a very light wind. Hope this helps - buy one, you'll love it - for that kind of money you can't=20 go wrong.

It's an awfully nice park flyer for the money. Parkzone has been on a roll lately, the Stryker is nice, the new P-51 mustang is nice, the Super Decathalon is a good plane. I haven't seen the Typhoon yet, it's just shipping to market.

The only complaint that everyone usually echoes is that the plane's body is sometimes difficult to make out while flying due to the camo colors used. A little bit of striping or decals to differentiate top from bottom might save you from crashing.
