Anyone know how it performs while on an airplane?

Great. I travel on airplanes all the time with them and dont have an issue. Should be fine.

They work great. I just recently raveled and had no problems. I even got some compliments.

Never tried it. You need a cigarette lighter type socket to plug it into or a 12volt outlet. Don't remember seeing those on any planes I've flown on. Sorry.

Hasn't happened to me. I always check to see if have position and altitude hold working as soon I start the flight. Worse thing was having one of the prop capnuts come loose and the propeller coming off at about 150 feet in the air. That possibility has been lessened on the new version with reverse threads on the clockwise props. Still a good idea to check tightness before each flight.

I took it with me on one flight and had no problems at all. The device was not entirely problem free, however. It's noisy, very noisy. It worked well for me for three months keeping the temperature of the insulin between 2 and 5 degrees Celsius. But then one morning I found that it was at room temperature and my insulin was cloudy. I'm not sure if it had been frozen or cooked. It hasn't worked since then.

I have not flown mine in a few months but if i remember right 10-15 min. And when it dies it cuts out qiuck with little warning and will drop like a rock! Still fun to fly and pretty rugged.

No. It uses its own headset. Also, planes don't allow wireless communications.

If you can hover it fairly ok, after some time it will need more power cause the battery's start to go down a bit but it should never have a huge change in flying with out a control input. If it's hovering or flying slow and descends rapidly with out your command it's a problem most likely... Best of luck

Mine never worked !!! I returned it received my money back. This plane is just awful !!!....I thought a wrote a review. Get a refund. ...

Yes! I have traveled with it on long international flights (about 16 hours with one layover). It's like any electronic device such as iPad, laptop or another smaller charger. I used it while on long fights with no problems.

No problems for me yet. Others have said that the tail will burn out no matter what battery you use and you need to let it cool off for a couple minutes between flights.

I have not taken it on a plane. However it folds up pretty small and is reasonably light-weight.

absolutely. i use it on every flight. i use it on the plane before takeoff and then again as needed. it is great. flying is so much more comfortable now.

I have used it under all seats on regular size planes, and under aisle seats in the smaller regional jets - for probably 200,000 miles so far. Occasionally airlines have an electronics box hidden under a seat, in which case it is very tight, and if the case is bulging full, I just take out the book or whatever is making the case bulge. I suspect there may be a problem under the widow seat of some of the smaller regional jets.

I did use it on airplane and noise isolation was acceptable. It is not the same as active noise cancellation but if you keep volume high enough and use right tips, you should be able to achieve decent isolation

Yeah, it works well. I have used it for overhead, vertical, and horizontal. So far the only complaint I have is the sensitivity settings. It almost works too fast.

I could never get mine to fly at all. One of the motors only spins up intermittently causing the craft to invert and crash. Just got it a few weeks ago but never got it to work.

Yes, have used mine on planes many times. And on the TX you can listen to MP3s at the same time you are editing a document.
