I was initially disappointed with the PalmZ because the rudder fell out of the copper coil on the first flight! (fixed with two dabs of glue) then the rudder kept jamming on the tailplane (fixed by snipping off a little foam) then I found it difficult to control.

After half a dozen flights I finally got the knack of the PalmZ and it's now my favourite Silverlit product.

This thing is amazing, it weighs less than dust and has taken hundreds of direct crashes with my walls. Charging is very fast direct from the controller itself and you get a good 5 minutes flying every time. You cant really fly it in the house or outdoors in any wind but give it a little bit of space and its great.

This plane is great fun to fly, it takes a little while to get used to it before you can fly it without crashing. Avoid flying in small areas aka indoors and outside when windy

This plane is so cheap and small you just have to get it its a bargain i got it and just played with it for ages its great fun! hey what you got to lose. It is a little hard to get used to but when you get it right its brill.

I'd hate for anyone to miss out on this little baby by readin the negative reviews. When you first fly it, it does 'just go in a circle and crash'...but with a bit of practice and by 'trimming' the controls...it is so damn fun to fly. I keep smashing mine into walls and its still going strong!
BUY IT!

As the other reviewers have stated takes a little practise but after a few flights these little toys are excellent. Great for plying indoors (circuits and figure 8s). I also have on of the helis. These are sure to be a big hit this Christmas!!!

These things just fly round in circles before crashing to the floor. Mine needed a tape repair before it even reached 3ft. It is now covered in tape on all pieces.

These are fantastic, you can fly it round your room and do figure of 8's, just takes at little patience and trim the plane well and i will fly no problems.......!! Just buy it!

Not sure if I've just been unlucky as well, but my plane also flies like it's drunk. The box looked like it's been in the wars and the flimsy plane was bent out of shape when I received it. There were also some stickers already affixed to various parts on the left side of the plane as well, either to fix a defect or to counter the right bias. If they were for the latter they didn't work because the plane does one trick at the moment which is fly hard right and down and crash. Following the vague instructions I've tried hammering the button which is there to fix the flight path and adjusting the warped rudder but to no avail. Pretty disappointing.

EDIT re above: The repair tape already affixed to the one I received was nowhere near the rudder, it was by the tip of the wing so it wasn't covering any copper wire. I tried trimming the rudder as well, with no sucess.

No offence, but the previous reviews cannot be taken seriously! The tape thats already on is covering the copper wire which controls the rudder, and the tail is supposed to be slightly off! (check the box) You probably won't get the hang of this plane on your 1st charge, i didn't, but once you "trim" your rudder with the controls, (read instructions) its easy to fly this and the only time you'll be picking this plane off the floor is to re-charge it!!! 6 minutes doesn't sound a long time but when your flying it round the dogs head and the kids are chasing it its brilliant. And it only takes 15-20 mins to charge.If these cost £50 i'd still buy one!!
