Excellent Present
Good quality for the money, lots of fun (even in the house,) and a unique gift for my husband. He said the instructions were difficult to follow on the actual building of the airplane, with the video moving too fast to follow. But he figured it eventually and has enjoyed it indoors this far. We live in MN and this was a Christmas gift, so won't get a chance to take it outside for several months.

Great gift for people hard to buy for!
Bought for my Dad and brother as a Xmas surprise. Adults need "toys" to play with too! Creates fun and chaos indoors. #sweepstakes

Gift for grandson
Grandson is a pre teen and loves gaming and airplanes. He had a kit before (I didn't know) and he told me of experiences with first kit. He lost one airplane and one landed in a tree. Good memories of time with his Dad. I can't wait to hear how he does with this kit.

Great for a 15 year old!
Got this for my 15 year old for Christmas and now, 4 months later, he finally opened it up and has been playing with it non-stop! He figured everything out on his own and has started making his own planes to fly. He tells me it's easy to control. A charge gets 5-8 minutes of fly time. Pretty quick to recharge too (maybe 15-20 minutes).

Christmas gift
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad. He opened the box and was so excited from the beginning. The only reason why I gave this product four stars is because I wish there was a little bit more written information inside the package. I feel like that would appeal to multiple ages. The videos were really easy to follow and it was a hit as a Christmas gift.

Good idea but tricky to assemble & flimsy
Thought my techie boy at heart would love this. He liked the idea, but the assembly was tricky & end product looks cheap/flimsy. He didn't love it.
Response from merchant
We appreciate your feedback. It's important that the paper airplane be lightweight for the plane to take off and allow it to fly higher and for a longer distance. The paper plane is made from a crash-proof and nearly indestructible carbon fiber body and includes a nylon reinforced nose and motor mount for extended durability.

Looks GREAT!
It is a Christmas present, so the recipient hasn't received it yet. It does appear to be a wonderful gift for a male in his 30's.

FAQs
1. How long does the battery last on a RC paper airplane kit, and how long does it take to recharge?
The RC paper airplane kit offers approximately 5–8 minutes of flight time per charge, with a recharge time of roughly 15–20 minutes — so you can get back in the air quickly. That quick turnaround makes it easy to keep the fun going without long waits between flights.
2. What age is the RC paper airplane kit good for?
The RC paper airplane kit is suitable for a wide age range — kids as young as 10 have successfully built and flown it independently, while adults in their 30s, 40s, and 50s enjoy it just as much. It's described as challenging enough to stay engaging without being frustrating, making it a great fit for curious minds of all ages.
3. Is the RC paper airplane kit a good gift for someone who already flies drones or remote control planes?
Yes, the RC paper airplane kit makes an excellent gift even for experienced drone and RC pilots. What sets it apart is the unique combination of hands-on building and flight — plus the fact that the plane body can be replaced with a standard 8.5x11 sheet of paper if it gets damaged, which experienced flyers appreciate as a low-cost, creative twist on RC flying.
4. Is the RC paper airplane kit easy to control for beginners?
The RC paper airplane kit is considered easy to control even for beginners. Teens have figured out the controls entirely on their own without instructions, and users have successfully flown it outdoors — even on windy days — using their phone as the controller. It's designed to be intuitive enough for first-timers while still being fun for experienced hobbyists.
5. Can you make your own paper airplane designs to use with the RC paper airplane kit?
Yes, the RC paper airplane kit works with multiple paper airplane designs, and many users have started folding and flying their own custom planes after getting comfortable with the included kit. The motor and control unit can be swapped into new paper airplane bodies, which makes experimenting with different designs part of the fun.

About how long does it take to put the plane together?
Verified reply from Amy
Hi there! This would depend on the individual, but the assembly time should be only around 10 minutes - so you can quickly get to flying!

What happens if it flies out of range?
Verified reply from Leslie
In normal conditions, the range is approximately 60 meters (200 feet). In case you lose communication with your airplane due to crossing the recommended flying range, the module will automatically shut the airplane's motor allowing the unit to glide down.
