Cabin crew doors to manual' and ˇ®seats for landing, please' are just some of the phrases you won't be uttering as you pilot your X-Plane about the skies. The X-Plane, you see, isn't your average radio controlled plane. Oh no. While most r/c planes are content to waft around under their own steam, performing the odd loop-the-loop and then crashing into a tree, the X-Plane has a whole bag of extra features under its, ahem, wing.
For a kick off, there's a built-in digital camera, allowing you to take aerial photos of your garden in order to plan where to plant your herbaceous borders. But that's only one of the X-Planes myriad selling points. How about the ability to drop a paratrooper, complete with opening parachute from its underbelly doors? Sound good? We bet it does but that's still not your lot. Once you've taken your aerial photos and parachuted a man onto the roof of the shed, you can then commence your bombing run, unleashing the devastating plastic missile payload onto the target area.
Sporting 4-channel digital proportional control, the X-Plane is a breeze to fly smoothly and there's very little in the way of aerobatics it can't do. Should you tire of dropping things on the neighbours and buzzing the ˇ®tower' (next door's bedroom), you can set to work on building a runway in your back garden, since the X-Plane can also take off from the ground. Chocks away!
