- b***e (85)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseEverything from the seller was excellent and was as advertised. Thank you. The postage was £5.95 too much as the courier firm, HERMES, has a rubbish service. Late, no updates, parcel tracking was nothing sort of useless and no apology!!!! Might I suggest you change your courier.

Possibly the best camera ever at this price
My second of these. They are everything you would expect from the Lumix T Z ( Travel Zoom) range.
Seriously , the best compact I have ever owned. I have had several to compare. This is the best TZ, its far better than the TZ50, even though it came out before it. Far better.
Get one or two.
Wonderful

At £8.99 you would be daft not too have a couple
I had a couple of these when they were £24.99 from Argos. When they broke, which they did eventually I used the parts on models I make to fly indoor, so nothing was wasted,
I thought they were OK at £24.99 , not bad value. I saw others on eBay for £40 to £80 and I remember thinking I would not spend more than £25 on one.
Then I logged on at they were £9.99, ordered a couple and then £8.99, so ordered more! At £8.99 it's a bargain.
The head is the weak part. In flying and crashing it, the head will break off the body fairly quickly. The RC is in the head and providing you mend it by gluing the head back on before you fly it again or the wires will break and you will lose radio. Mend it with tape or super glue. The glue I used was Bob Smiths Super Gold from servoshop
In delivery I have had two arrive with heads broke off. So far they have glued back on. I did ask for an exchange, but Argos said they did not. They could offer a refund on the printing and pick up of the broken item. At £8.99 I can use the parts and so as there was no exchange for another I did not bother them with the return process.
£8.99 - take some tape and glue when flying it. The RC can be taken out and used in another model when it is broken. Whats not to like at £8.99 POST FREE

Playmate of the Month! Playmate of the Year! Excellent Model Aircraft
A few years back my own R/C model store used to sell the Fly Zone models which were distributed by Ripmax at the time.
I picked this one up on eBay on sale as old discounted discontinued stocks at a 1/3rd the original £79.99 selling price. So, firstly it was exceptional value.
The only problem and it was to be expected as this was OLD stock, the motor battery and dry cells for the model were none working. The dry cells had started to leak and really would have been better removed before the sale. The FlyZone Li Po 3.7 120 ma batteries were always a little hit and miss and this one did work, but for only a few seconds after charge. It was old and had lost its capacity. This is not a complaint as the stock was old and the discount price made up many times for the state of the batteries. On a 150 ma 3.7 Radian 30 c pack I can fly the model for over 10 minutes with ease. Battery times indoors could probably be stretched out to 15 minutes on a battery. Outdoors in dead calm the slightest turbulence or wind and the model is worked harder needed more power and many more input stick corrections and so the length of time the model runs is less. Indoors once trimmed on 1/3rd throttle or less the model cruises around very much like a tissue and dope early KK model. The outline is vintage, but the build of the model and RC is latest spec.
To fly the FlyZone Models you need either a Tactic Radio Set or an AnyLink by Tactic which fastens to your own Spektrum or Futaba and enables you to fly the Playmate from your favourite Transmitter, yes your own!
By plugging into the Trainer socket the Any-Link becomes the master TX and you the Slave TX, be it DX 9 or 8 or 6 or Futaba or Sanwa… any radios. The Tactic Any-Link will work with any with Radio’s
The Model?
It is a great flyer. Only in light winds outdoors as if you are not used to flying you could lose it in a breeze. A beginner could learn to fly on it. Calm days over long grass if you get in trouble just throttle back and let it land its self. It never breaks if trimmed out to glide. It almost lands its self.
Excellent – There’s discounted stock out there. Google ‘Playmate’ or the Yellow Super Cub version, buy one, fly one and enjoy! I am. 6 stars out of 5 (Spinal Tap Star system)
Good luck.
