I actually own one of these, but I'm trying to figure out if this is FAA approved? I know someone mentioned flying Allegiant, but we're flying United.

Yes it is. All strollers are compliant. You just check them at the gate and then pick it up after your flight. Btw, I love this stroller!

It is a very cool looking & fun plane, but takes some patience to learn to fly it as a beginner. Maneuvers pretty quickly due to all the wing surface and short fuselage. Go for it, but "learn" out in a non-wind day & big tall grassy area until you get used to landing it. Have fun!!

I flew a s107 for a short time then moved up to the msrx ,there is a small learning curve,if you have patience it shouldn't be a problem. I have now moved on to the blade mcp x

I have yet to get a successful flight out of mine, and I've flown my night vapor and larger scale Sensei and home built foamies pretty well. Part of it may be this one being more sensitive to the wind. But I haven't damaged it... Yet.

Sorry! Just checked and found that FAA sent out a memo to airlines saying that passengers should not be using personal seat extenders. In flight personnel have never commented on it or stopped me from using it.

Check specs on DJI.com. I do not fly farther than I can see it. I have read accounts of in excess of 2000 feet altitude. If you exceed range and fly in GPS mode the aircraft will revert to "go home" mode and fly back to where it took off from and land. If you haven't bought yet consider the dji phantom vision II. It's awesom

I like it and it makes me think I could fly a big plane if necessary. Maybe just my ego though. I have flown a couple of small plane but never pursued my pilots license. I think it is realistic.

Dont listen to these nerds. Of course it flies, its an airplane! It doesnt come with the radio, you have to buy all electronics yourself (radio, reciever, motors, servos, and speed controlls). Dont forget the tilt rotors which require an extra channel and motors. If youre inexprerienced I found that this is easy to fly with 2 heli gyros. So, yea.... I know its probably too late but go ahead and buy. Dummy

This is a very stable aircraft. It also has the power and performance to do the aerobatics you mentioned. Adding floats will limit this somewhat but the Beav' can be coaxed into exciting performances. This is model will not disappoint. IMHO FlyZone hit a home run with this model.

I have this plane and it is great. Full function of aielerons and flaps if you want them. I'm an intermediate flyer and had no trouble handling it.

We'll yes as all r/c planes. Please don't buy this plane. After one flight the plane doesn't work. Transmitter works of a range of about 3 feet and ducted fans burn out. Spend a little more money on some thing like a cub or some sort of trainer. THIS PLANE DOES NOT WORK!!

Although I saw it clearly pictured in one airport's TSA warnings (was it Spokane?) I've never been questioned about it in years. I carry so many pieces of electronic junk (chargers, cameras, etc.) that there may be a distraction factor working for me. At this point, I don't worry about it, if they take it, I can get another one. Knock wood, they'll probably confiscate it on my next flight...

There were two very old updates but Microsoft stopped support for the simulator itself about 5 or so years ago. There are tons of companies and individuals who are creating fantastic planes (PMDG, QualityWings, Captainsim) and sceneries (aerosoft and lago). Tons of Payware and freeware that is all high quality. It can be as real as going on line and having a real ATC supervise you from takeoff to landing or just fun. Great community.

Sorry not sure what your asking. I bought 2 niether one would fly. Returned both.

I would have to say yes. I don't think there is such a thing as FAA approved. Each airline has their own requirements. I have used Skykennels to ship on American and Delta with no problem. I'm sure that it will be fine on any airline.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

Summing up from the others as well as with my own additions. * Two on-board video cameras, one is 720p with "photo" ability. * Video sharing on YouTube. * A community of users. * Flight data graphics. * Due to streaming video, I can fly virtually, as if from the pilots seat-- I can see what the Drone sees, in real time. * Multiple flight control options. * I can set up the control range from tame to wild, such as for indoor or outdoor flight, or my own preferences. * It is tough, but easy, cheap, and quick to repair. * "Augmented Reality" games. * Open source software-- e.g., I can use the 60Beat Game Controller besides my touchscreen (iPad, iPhone, Android, etc). * Open source software-- e.g., The AR.Drone can autonomously track an object. * It flies "large" not like a gnat-- something experienced r/c pilots appreciate. * I can pre-program flights so the AR.Drone flies itself. * Indoor and Outdoor shell. * I average just over 11 minutes per battery charge. * Lasting fun: there is whole industry of customizing these because the owners use their drone a lot more often than the $50.00 quadrocopters. * If I run low on battery, it informs me and lands itself if I do not respond. * If I fly out of range, it hovers, and waits for me to move closer to reconnect. * If I take my hand off the controls, it station-keeps at altitude. * It knows its altitude, and ground speed and transmits that in real time as well as records it. * Because of the above, there is one last important point the AR.Drone has over the others: The users all wish their friends had one, because with two or more flying, games just happen.
