Speed /height
5/5

Amazingly superbly immense!, I was a little sceptical at first before flying this Mechanical bird, but once it started flapping it’s huge wings you can straight away sense the amount of power and once you let it go, it really goes!. you WILL need a very large open field to fly this, but it’s well worth it your own giant bird, under your control.
Handling
  3/5

As you can imagine it’s a giant bird, with flapping wings and everything else a bird needs, so it is a little difficult to control, especially as, like me, your probably not going to be anywhere near used to flying a bird!, but you can pick it up just about quickly and that will allow you to at least to do the basics and enjoy it, landing is a bit of a difficult task though

Looks

4/5

Large patterned wings and tail, both very bright and colourful with a birdlike feather effect and a foam protective body, and bird like ‘head’; a pretty good looking bird, the pure size of the wings is enough and, especially when it’s in flight it' does look like a real bird, amazing.
Price
4/5

for the size, power and pure flight ability it’s well worth it and i certainly haven't seen any other bird, let alone one as good as this, well worth shelling out for.
Control Range
5/5

As i said previously you will need a very large field to fly this beast so you can imagine you will need, and indeed do get amazing range a good 30,40,50 foot away and in the air and you’ll still have it under control, very very good!.
 Battery Usage
5/5

a build in lithium battery with a plug in charger that will charge in a similar time to most things, leaving it over night will give you a fully charged battery, and a good half hour at least of full on flapping at top power!
Controller
4/5

Pretty normal and simple controller, up down, left right, faster slower. Simple to hold and use, wit ha very large Ariel.
Over view

All in all this is an immense, huge and powerful VERY enjoyable RC bird, looks great, a decent price for a pretty original and amazing thing, good battery life, and well worth getting 5 out of 5 from me, Buy it, put it together, enjoy it, you will not regret it!
