This is my first rc plane. Got 5 flights then the rear elevator broke. It's very thin but I did hit the water pretty hard a few times. Repaired it with some flex seal cement and back up and running. For the price it's a good.

If you’re new to hobby or experienced pilot, you won’t regret getting this thing! Easy to set up and easy to fly. Flying this plane is more fun than I ever imagined. Its maneuverability, speed, and acrobatic capabilities will leave you ordering more batteries. On top of that flight times are amazing. I struggle to not run her full throttle the whole pack and am still getting 15+ min flight times. Doesn’t take much water to land or take off and quickly became my favorite daily flyer. Get one.

Fun to fly… Fast for power level. Needed more glue to hold down canopy magnets. Takes off well from grass.

The plane is great, functions on water and grass perfect. There’s one problem that practically makes the plane un-flyable, now it could just be my receiver (ar637) which has safe and as3x, but I’m not totally sure. The problem is that a few seconds after takeoff, something happens that causes the plane to not respond to my roll input for about 3 seconds, then it comes back, and the process repeats. I’m not sure what causes this but beware. Without this problem the plane is absolutely awesome, great job Motion and Skynetic.

I have worn out more than 6 dragonflies over the years. Still have not found an easier land / water plane to fly. Hand launch is easy.

The plane flies well, but does NOT have unlimited vertical when using a 2200mah battery. I used to fly a Model Aero POLARIS...and while all dimensions seem similar, my motor was definitely more powerful than the one the Dragonfly comes with. The problem...you can't easily change motors without hacking the plane drastically. Also, to get the right CG...you have to move the 2200mah battery 3.75" aft...which means moving the ESC also. I built a rear and front barrier to keep the battery in position. Also, if you ever need to replace the elevator or rudder servo...a major Hack of the plane is required. So...it's sort of a disposable airplane. Just yesterday...Hobby King sent me notice that the Skipper is back in stock....for $40 less than the Dragonfly...they are identical planes, just different color. So overall it is a fun plane to fly, but the motor should be a tad more powerful to achieve unlimited vertical and faster level speeds.....again, I'm comparing to my broken 10 year old Polaris with a 2216 2100KV motor.
