recently purchased one of the Flyzone Playmate Mirco RC planes. Primary reason was for the Anylink Module so I could pick up one of the HeliMax 100CP's and use my A9...... The combo was selling for $10 more than just the Anylink.
Didn't expect too much from the plane as it is 3 channel and well foam... I am pleased to say I was having a blast tossing it around the front of my house. That little 130mah battery was giving me 10 minute flights and I was able to do some loops and some tight spiraling descents. Haven't flown planes for a long while and I was amazed at how comfortable I felt flying one again - Exponentially more so than my helicopters.
Third flight and I was coming in for a landing and when I was about 4 feet off the ground (grass landing) I lost everything and she went in. Being so light there was not a scratch on it. However nothing was working - trouble shooting seems to indicate the speed controller went tits up as when it tries to arm I loose all power. Sent an email to Flyzone. If it is a throw away I am out $10 for the plane but I had fun flying it.
Wish all the bind an fly stuff was not Spektrum... I have a spektrum for my cars and I hate the thing and I so love the feel and function of my A9. I am not really happy with the way the Anylink module interfaces with the A9. Kinda clunky and looks to be prone to damaging the radio if you are not careful.
Now I am thinking about pulling all my old planes out and getting them ready to fly again. Also been reading up on Giant Scale gasser planes
