When I first got the E-Flite Valiant 1.3m for Christmas in 2023, both the airplane and I have changed and been through a lot.

The rotors self propel due to the way the air flows through them. The adults that were staffin …
Greg and I decided that our first review of an RC Airplane would be of Greg’s discontinued E-Flite Cherokee. He got that plane for his 9th birthday.
