The E-Flite UMX Beast is a replica of one of the most popular airshow planes. Its small size, 15.7" in length makes this R/C airplane one that you can fly in your backyard. I was surprised at the power it had and cut through the wind quite well. The stability of the UMX Beast is unmatched in its weight class. The UMX Beast has about a 5 minute flight time with the included 2S 7.4V 120mAh LiPo battery, so as always I recommend purchasing an extra 2S 7.4V 120mAh LiPo for the UMX Beast. As with all E-Flite products, the replacemt parts for the UMX Beast are inexpensive and easily installed. You really have nothing to lose purchasing this R/C airplane as it is only $99.00, an incredible value.
