It was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 carries the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II. The C-17 commonly performed strategic airlift missions, transporting troops and cargo throughout the world; additional roles include tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop duties. Review: Great Flyer - Tough Little C17 - I bought this product because I wanted the two-motor differential control. I'm keeping it as a C17 because it flies VERY WELL. No, it doesn't do loops and rolls, but it does get off the ground well (Performs a JATO - Like take-off from a standing start.) In the air, throttling down will level the airplane out. Turns are gentle, with a turning radius of about 20 - 30 Feet (10 Meters or so). Landing is simple - Aim the airplane at the runway and gently throttle down to establish a good glide slope - and it will land well. Flying time is about 10 Minutes on a charge. It takes about 30 - 40 minutes to recharge - so I recommend extra batteries. It does come un-assembled - so some assembly is necessary. My plane came well packaged, and everything was straight and true - no flight trim adjustment was necessary. Awesome given the plane has the scale anhedral wing. Hints: Read the building instructions before building, and trial fit everything before gluing. I nearly glued the rudder fin on the fuselage - this is meant to be a "friction fit" to allow adjustment. The manual's instructions for setting this angle based on the local altitude was spot on. This plane does take a large field to fly in - A baseball diamond, soccer or football field is ideal. Not for small backyard flying. Pluses: Lots of Power to climb, long flight time, relatively easy to fly. Durable - The EPP foam is strong and takes a lot of knocks. Minuses: Did not come with glue. I used FoamTac, - Use foam safe adhesive to assemble and repair. When landing - at very low throttle settings, using the right / left controls will cause the plane to surge in the turn direction. Best to come in with a small amount of throttle. I would not recommend this for a complete beginner. It would be great for a father-son project. It does take some skill to fly. Fly in a large clear area for the first flights. For the money - it is a great little flyer and looks realistic in the air! Review: Its okay. very cheap quality - I ordered this as it was reviewed by some instagrammer. when I opened the box, it is packed very well but the overall quality felt very cheap, the remote also felt very cheap. Assembling the plane takes some time as it is straight forward but the fuselage and the wings are so delicate that you may break something. Wiring up the motherboard to the wings was a challenge as it was very delicate. The screws are so small that you really have to pay well attention during the setup. Plane flew decent but not satisfactory. This could have been at $20 price for the build quality and the setup. I returned it after a day ## Features - It adopts high efficient pneumatic contour design to ensure good flying features and stability, better gliding performance. - The fuselage is made from durable EPP foam, this special material is very resilient. - Powerful motors make the model could take off from the ground easily. - 2.4GHz 2CH airplane, including 4 directional flight, ascending, descending, turn left, turn right. - Easy to fly even if you have never flown a model before. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08M674762 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Are Batteries Required | Yes | | Batteries are Included | Yes | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion Polymer | | Best Sellers Rank | #383,302 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #528 in Hobby RC Airplanes | | Brand Name | GoolRC | | Color | Black, Blue | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 87 Reviews | | Included Components | RC Airplane Accessories, Remote Controller, Spare Propeller, Propeller Wrench, USB Charging Cable | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Manufacturer | GoolRC | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 840.00 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 192.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | WAM1218677217566CR | | Material Type | EPP | | Model Name | C 17 | | Model Number | C 17 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.
