Maneuverable and Responsive Piloting Both of these vehicles feature a wide range of motion and are made for tight maneuvering. The remote control features two joysticks that control vertical and horizontal movement. There is also a trim knob that helps adjust the orientation of the helicopter in flight. The plane boasts a range of 500 feet, and is best used outdoors. Meanwhile, the helicopter has a range of 100 feet and can be flown either outdoors or indoors.
Taking off is the toughest part of piloting these aircrafts. The helicopter, in particular, requires a delicate touch while getting it airborne. A little too much throttle will make it spin out of control. However, once in the air, the vehicles prove to be quite maneuverable. With enough altitude and a little practice, it's possible to perform barrel rolls and other stunts with the airplane.
The remote control has been designed with convenience in mind. It contains a cable that is able to charge the vehicles without an A/C socket, meaning that you can "charge on the go." The aircraft are outfitted with light-weight Lithium Polymer batteries, which can provide impressive run times in spite of their small size.
Sturdy Construction Withstands Tough Riding Although the plane's EPP-foam chassis might not look like much, it is designed to take abuse. The helicopter is equally sturdy, and can withstand repeated collisions without damage or distortion to its rotors. This allows inexperienced RC fliers to fly their aircraft without having to worry about crashing, making this an ideal toy for "pilots"" in training. The helicopter also has a high-intensity LED searchlight and flashing navigational lights, making it possible to fly at night.
The aircraft design does have a few flaws. For instance, it's a bit too easy for the plane's rudder to become crooked, which causes it consistently turn in one direction. The helicopter also occasionally has issues, as its rotors are prone to jamming. Fortunately, MegaTech has included an extensive troubleshooting guide with the package, which address most of the problems you may experience.
What's in the Box 1 Sky Trooper remote-controlled helicopter, 1 remote-controlled airplane, and instruction guide.

I didn't have very high hopes for such an inexpensive remote control flyer, so I can't say I'm too disappointed. However, even for the low price, I would not recommend this. The throttle worked fine on the airplane but turning it in the air was impossible. The flap on the back of the plane took more than a second to receive the signal from the remote control. Almost every time it went up the plane would crash by the time it tried to turn.
All the parts were obviously very cheap to make. ... Read More

The Helicopter rotor broke after a few crashes, within one day.
The airplane works outside if there is NO wind.
Don't waste your money on this junk.
Rating: - Waste of money!!!
In its first flight, the plane would only veer left. It crashed and broke. The helicopter has never taken off of the ground. It just spins in circles on the floor. I am very disappointed and would not recommend it.

I got this as a last-minute gift for my adult male children who are boys at heart! It reminded me of Christmases when they were little!! They played with it all afternoon! I liked it because it was quiet, and they liked it because it was more accurate than others they had gotten years ago! I wouldn't recommend this for a younger child because it is not made to be handled a lot. I think it would be great for an adult to fly the toy for the child, as it is fun to watch-not to mention that the adult ... Read More
