Here is a micro RC airplane that can be enjoyed by the new beginner or the seasoned RC pilot.
As a beginner RC plane, the Parkzone Ember, with a wing span of 16.5" and a total flying weight of 0.7oz,is difficult to damage seriously, because of it's feather-like weight.
The light wing loading means the speed is low, giving more time to react and learn the "feel"of flying a real RC airplane and not a toy!

The Ember is constructed of foam and is a 3-channel RC airplane. The controls are fully proportional rudder, elevator and throttle. This is a BNF model and as such requires an RC transmitter. The transmitter should be a Spektrum or JR DSM2 type, on the 2.4Mhz frequency. The lipo battery (3.7V 70 mAh ) and DC charger are included.
It should take about 15 to 20 minutes to charge the battery.
In very calm conditions, the Ember can be a joy to fly in your own backyard or indoor RC flying can be enjoyed in a school gym or similar large indoor area.
Like all Parkzone RC planes, no glue or paint is required to get the Ember ready for flight- just charge the battery, bind your RC transmitter and go fly!

After reading reviews, I could find no negative comments at all! Beginners and proficient pilots all loved the Ember and gave it a resounding thumbs up! Comments on it's easy flying abounded, but please remember to fly outdoors in dead calm conditions only! The light weight makes high winds a real challenge.
