The Losbenco RC B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber looks like a cool option for introducing kids (or even adults!) to the world of remote control airplanes. Here's a breakdown of my experience:
Pros for New Pilots:
Easy to Fly:
This plane is advertised as beginner-friendly, and for the most part, it delivers. The lightweight foam construction makes it fairly crash-resistant, and the controls seem manageable for beginners.
Ready to Fly:
A big plus for beginners is that it comes ready to fly out of the box. No complex assembly required – just charge the battery and take off!
Cool Appearance:
Let's face it, the B-2 bomber design is pretty neat. It will likely capture the imagination of any aviation enthusiast (young or old).
Things to Consider:
Limited Maneuvers:
While advertised for stunts, the plane's capabilities are more suited for basic flying maneuvers. Don't expect anything too acrobatic.
Short Flight Time:
The battery life allows for short flights, which might be frustrating for more eager pilots. Be prepared for frequent charging breaks.
Durability for Learning:
The foam construction is great for beginners in terms of crash resistance, but it might not hold up to super rough landings or constant bumps.
Overall:
The Losbenco RC B-2 Bomber is a decent option for getting beginners interested in RC airplanes. It's easy to fly, ready to use, and the B-2 design is a nice touch. However, keep in mind the limited maneuverability, short flight time, and potential durability concerns for very rough landings. This might be a better fit for younger kids or those wanting a basic RC plane experience before moving on to more advanced models.
