The Preditor drone RC plane is easy to assemble and comes with screws and a screwdriver to easily and swiftly assemble. I was able to build and fly this plane in about 5 minutes out of the box. It works and Flys great, it is easy for young kids or newer flyers. The durability is amazing, this thing can really take a hit before breaking. Flew mine into trees, bushes, fences, the ground.... and it has held up perfectly with only miner imperfections. Even with some larger aerodynamic imperfections this thing still Flys like a champ, but with less maneuverability.
People giving crappy reviews are most likely not reading the instructions or letting their small children put it together incorrectly (make it a family project, that way it reduces wait time and bummer summer disorder). Out fo the box the plane must be assembled and the motors connected to the flight computer board. These are easy to connect red and white wires that just need to by clipped into the corresponding sockets. If you have fat figures it might me slightly difficult to connect but just push the board through the bottom of the plane to get better access then simply push the plastic tray back up into the aircraft (if the wires are put into the incorrect slots the controls will be backwords, but just undo the screws and switch the wires to the correct socket). Battery life is great for lightly hobby flying; however, if you love to fly you'll find yourself taking a 20-40 minute water break while the battery charges a couple times an hour, so it would be recommended to buy a second or 3rd battery so you can rotate between new and charging batterys without taking an extended break. Keep in mind this is a beginner flyers plane, so don't expect to do loopy loops and a ton of tricks as this plane does not have the aircraft dynamics to pull of such maneuvers, but it does easily stay in the air and is fun to fly through lineral plain maneuvers. I would definatly recommend this product for family's, young kids, and new rc air plane flyers.
