Ember 2 RTF Reviews
Fantastic Plane, buy now
By Douglas Leppard (Orlando, FL)
I have played with many RC airplanes and helicopters, both cheap toys and more expensive ones.
The Parkzone Ember 2 and Vapor are at the very top of my list. I love trying to fly, but on all of my previous planes I just didn’t do well. I must admit I play at it and don’t get super serious, just don’t have much time.
But the Ember2 and Vapor made it possible to fly and be successful at it. Both of them are unbelievably easy to fly but are able to do some very great things.
THESE ARE NOT TOY LEVEL PLANES. I bought the Ember 2 then the Vapor. The Ember 2 flies faster and can take wind better than the Vapor. I have done loops with the Ember and all kinds of various maneuvers. It has a feel of a good airplane and not a toy.
The Vapor according to my scales weight 3/8 of a once and have a very small motor and servos to control this plane. It is a very responsive plane but also you can do loops and many other tricks. The Vapor can almost fly straight up, but not quite, but you can have it almost dead stop inches from the ground and then pour on the power and pull out of there.
The Vapor is a no wind airplane. I do fly it outside but there has to be no wind and even the slightest breeze makes flying hard. The Ember2 is its cousin and you can fly it in very minor breeze, it is best to fly in a no wind situation. Both planes have the same receiver, motor, battery and can use the same transmitter. Buy one with the transmitter then buy the other one in the Bind-N-Fly version which is cheaper and doesn’t have the transmitter which you share with both planes.
These planes use the DSM2 technology for the transmitter/receiver. The planes learn which transmitter to listen to. I range is far, never gone far enough to get out of range.
These planes are RTF ready to fly out of the box.
As far as being tough. They can take a lot of abuse. I have crashed them often. But because they are so light they tend not to break. I have broken the Ember 2 because it goes faster and is heavier, but there are plenty of spare parts and easy to fix. The Vapor I broke the prop and got a $3 replacement which just screws on.
I can barely fly the Vapor inside my house, just really not enough room. But it flies outside great with no breeze. I did take it to work and flew it in a meeting room and then on a dare flew it down the middle of our large building, got quite the crowd.
So don’t hesitate, buy it now!
Great starter plane (for indoor flying, that is)
By P. Lemaster (Montgomery, AL United States)
Excellent plane. Much better than any Air Hog -type plane we’ve tried (even though the Aero Ace planes were pretty good, considering). We really wanted a gym flyer like the Vapor but also wanted some ability to fly it outside as well. Truth is, this is virtually impossible with this plane unless there’s no breeze whatsoever. However, still an excellent flyer, given no wind and it’s definitely faster than the Vapor and more airplane like in it’s handling (the Vapor is pretty awesome in it’s own right though).
We would recommend this plane to any parent/grandparent who wants to get their son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter a “REAL” flying R/C plane for the cheapest price possible. Don’t waste your time or money on anything below this as we have already tried most of the Walmart/Target toys and would have easily paid for this one by now (maybe several times over).
As always, be sure to check out You Tube reviews as these are usually the best way to get a sense of how hard or easy these things are to fly.
Love this plane
By Freezing in the USA
I have flown many a RC plane. 3 channel and 4 channel and this is a 3 channel plane. Very easy to fly and loads of fun, has alot of control. THis is the RTF (Ready to Fly) version so it has a simple yet sufficient remote control transmitter included. If you have a DSM2 transmitter already just get the BNF version. This really isn’t a toy so much as an actual RC plane and if you crash it can break. If you fly over grass your alot less likely to hurt it in a crash though. The only other downside is that as with all small planes like this it really can’t take much wind so save your flights for windless days. This thing can fly in fairly small areas but get some practice in a wide open field first. Overall this gets 6 out of 5 stars from me.
