This is how Hobby King describes the H-King Skipper All-Terrain Airplane:
"Quite possibly the most versatile plane ever...the H-King Skipper!
Capable of taking off from and landing on just about any surface including water, ice, snow, grass and more, the Skipper is a truly versatile model. Add to that its super low wing loading and high-performance brushless power system and you've got yourself a model that is an absolute blast to fly!
The pre-installed 40A brushless power system provides plenty of power, just what you need for getting off of the water or grass take-offs. This abundance of power adds to the fun factor in the air, providing unlimited vertical performance. The large control surfaces allow for a fast roll rate and excellent elevator response making the aerobatic flight a big part of the Skipper's wide flight envelope.
Constructed from low-density EPO foam, this model is very lightweight yet maintains a high level of durability. The wing halves are joined with twin carbon fiber spars providing excellent rigidity. The fuselage of the Skipper is molded in a "flying boat" shape allowing it to easily take off, land and cruise on the water. This smooth, low-drag design also lends itself very well to use on snow and grass.
The Skipper comes in Plug and Fly form meaning that the brushless power system and all servos are pre-installed, you will simply need to add your own 4CH radio system and 3S lipo battery. Assembly is a breeze requiring gluing of the horizontal stabilizer only. You can have the Skipper built and ready for flight in as little as 15 minutes.

This is how Horizon Hobby describes the E-flite Opterra RC Plane:
"The Opterra™ 2M Flying Wing is the collaborative effort of George Hicks and Mike McConville - two of model aviation's premier aircraft designers. Together, they have created some of the best flying RC Airplanes in the world. This one is no exception. Its lightweight construction, long wingspan and efficient aerodynamics give it a wide range of capabilities that includes everything from sport aerobatics to soaring. It even gives you the ability to put yourself in the pilot's seat with FPV gear while using a GoPro Hero 3, Hero 4 or similar class camera to record HD video at the same time.* This Bind-N-Fly® version comes with the added benefit of a Spektrum™ AS3X® receiver that features optional SAFE Select technology."
