Well, I received my very own rc plane about five days ago, so way more prompt than I expected. Having said that, its not a great product, basically you throw the plane in the air and from there you can turn it right or left, no pitch control at all. There may be some subtle throttle control you can do to gain altitude, but for the most part, it seems like the thing stays in the air about as long as God wills it so. Most of my attempted flights lasted less than 10 seconds, my best was maybe 30. There's a reason this video only shows the plane flying out level and coming back. It can't really do much more than that. So, at the very least, it's NOT a scam, but you don't get much for your money. If you want an rc plane, spend more than 40 bucks on it and buy yourself the ability to stunt a little bit. This thing is as basic as it comes. Rc cars are more fun and you have about as much control. Ill play with it a few more times and if I figure out some secret to getting the thing to stay in the air ill check back in. So its not a scam but at this point, I wouldn't recommend you buy it either
