 Not durable Jun 02, 2008
With much excitement my 9 year old daughter was eager to fly the plane. The first few runs were great; however, when we went to fly the plane later it would not fly correctly. We recharged the battery according to the directions and now we cannot get it to even start. Calling the manufacturer today and hoping for a receptive response. It is easy to operate but definitely not the most durable toy.
 Junk Aug 25, 2007
This airplane is a piece of junk. Worked for 40 seconds and failed.
I still have not gotten my refund.
It should be rated with - stars.
Made in CHina?

A total waste of money May 14, 2007
This flimsy plane lasted for two very short "flights" (7 seconds) before the crash damage rendered it useless. I bought a Firefly for my daughter's birthday. It was the "big" present, out of all her presents - the one she was looking forward to the most. Out of the box I noticed that it was kinda flimsy - very thin styrofoam wings. When discharging the battery as instructed by the manual, by holding it in hand while powering the props, I noticed that about halfway through the charge, in "climb" mode for both engines, one engine seemed to have less power (I noticed it more by sound rather than revolution or pull).
The next day we tried it out. I told my 8 year old daughter I'd fly it for the first few flights until she could watch and learn the controls and their effects enough to control it. Our first flight lasted 5 seconds, until the plane turned and took a nose dive from about 3 feet off the ground. When I picked it up, I noticed a slight nick in the wing behind one engine and surmised that the wind must have flex forward enough for the prop to take a bite out of it. The second flight lasted two seconds - enough time for the plane to turn and dive, again from about three feet off the ground. The second crash broke the tail. That was it. I paid $50 for 7 seconds of "enjoyment". I know Megatech has a replacement guarantee, but what fool would pay this company another $40 for another 7 seconds of "enjoyment". Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
Lacks Durability Jan 02, 2007
I cannot comment on the performance of this plane. It broke immediately out of the box. It is way too fragile for most younger (and probably older) pilots. My eleven-year-old and eight-year-old sons were a couple of disappointed chaps that Christmas afternoon.
Did not get my utils Jan 15, 2006
This plane is not worth nearly $80, maybe $20. After many easters of styrofoam planes I don't know why I thought this one would be any different.
My son got this as a Christmas present. It took about an hour to completely set up, and charge and deplete the battery 3 times as suggested. Anyway the plane took off and rose to about 10-12 feet and about 15 yards away then nose-dived out of control directly into the dirt. It was about 30 degrees. The wing broke in half and one of the horizontal stabilizers broke off. All of 5 seconds.
The concept is great, but the styrofoam is very thin and crisp. Easily breaks. Do not recommend.
