How is the ProRide on an airplane?

According to the manual, it is approved for use and will fit on airplanes. It is 14.5" at armrest height, most US carriers have a seat width of between 17.5 and 18" in economy, so you should be good.

We check ours with our bags. Because it doesn't fit through the security X-ray so they have to screen it. Which is added time and a pain.

We have used it on 8 flights so far. It is fine in the sense that it fits on the plane (we had it rear-facing) and it works the same as it would in a car. The downside is the weight of this carseat means it is not easy to haul this carseat onto the plane and through airports between flights (we strapped it to a cart to go from one gate to another). The other downside is that the person who sits in front of you won't be able to recline their seat on the plane at all and this may upset them (but this is probably true for most carseats). I would take it on a plane again.

We use this in Florida and the ProRide in Manila. The material of the Performance Sport is actually better because the Pro Ride we have is a bit felty. As long as we have the AC on in the car, the kids are okay.

Hi...I, personally, liked the pro glider version better. It seemed less plastic-like and more like something that he could use much longer than the "my first" version. My son, who turned 3 in May, received his for Christmas and he loves to ride around on his.I hope this helps! I know he will enjoy it.Thanks!

ONLY difference is the pro-pilot folds up for storage, while the co-pilot does not. Oh and one cost more than the other but not that much.

Definitely. I travel with it regularly and haven't had any trouble. Fits nicely in the overhead or under the seat.

No worries, I've put this guy under almost all major commercial aircraft without a problem. The RJ's are a little tight, but that is just the nature of the smaller seat tracks on those planes.

Pro flight instrument is used to show aviation instrument info.. if you want to show a map with gps location you can export out and show on a monitor

gets on plane quicker which improves pull and speed when cruising keeps it from bouncing as much.

Negative. Flies like a quad-copter. Mine flew great for a day, the there was a communication failure between the plane and the remote. Had to return it.

I've always carried it on planes overseas and domestic. you won't have any problems

It was my first plane and i had no help learning to fly. It handles well in the wind (although you should NEVER try to fly in any wind if you are learning), and it is easily repairable should the worst happen. I crashed mine 3 times before i had a successful flight and it is still in decent condition. Mine had a rudder trim problem from day one that i had trouble diagnosing as a first time flyer, But other than that it is one of the best planes a beginner could have.

I believe that anyone can fly this plane. I have been flying planes and helicopters for a few years now and this is one of the best planes I have bought for the price. Make sure you buy some extra batteries ( I bought a 4 pack of 180 mAH 3.7v) and I'm glad I did because I have even more fun flying. But back to the plane. You also need a controller that is compatible with the aircraft ( something like dsmx 2 technology) what's good about this plane is that if you break it you can buy basically any part required to fix it. It is pretty durable if you take care of it. Definitely a great buy and we'll worth the money... also it can fly in pretty gusty winds for how light weight it is. If you or someone you know is a beginner, tell them to get this plane

This plane has loads of power and it can carry a go pro. however mounting it will be a challenge. I personally use a Mobius 1080 P cam on my planes for flight footage and the come out great. Advantage is the Mobius lays flat unlike the Go pro which will cause a lot of drag and may affect aerodynamics of the plane. If mounted in line with the fuselage, it should not be a problem. I have mounted the Mobius on the fuselage, wings, even the tail of my planes.

I'm not sure, but it can fly faster than I can run. I would say around 15-20 mph flying full out and level; a very rough guess. As I said in a previous review, you can get better stunt performance by adjusting the link from the servo to the elevons (combined elevator/ailerons). If you move the link further towards the tip if the servo arm and/or down the horn to the elevon, you get more change in angle of the elevon. I had mine all the way out on the servo and 1/2 way out on the horn until yesterday. I moved the link to the tip of the horn yesterday. Extreme control but also very touchy control. Takes some getting used to. Does a nice flair for landing though. The plane flies great and is a great trainer, but speaking from experience, DON'T FORGET THE "SAFE" (aka "Oh CR@P") BUTTON if you get into trouble.

Do whatever you feel comfortable with...REMEMBER you have to BALANCE the plane for any MOD to fly properly!

Def fine for a plane. My son said they were great and that was the primary purpose for them. Never a complaint
