volantexrc RC Plane, 4CH Remote Control Glider Airplane RTF with 6-Axis Gyro, 3 Modes & Aerobatics Easy to Fly, 2.4GHz Radio Controlled Aircraft for Beginners& Adults, Ranger600 Stunt, Black

I bought this right before going into the hospital for back surgery. I came home and checked it out the best that I could. I plan on giving this as a birthday present for my grandson. I got it working in the house. It has been raining ever since and I can’t try it out. It sure is a great starter plane for any level of airplane flying. It seems to ease right in with the controls. I didn’t want to fly it in the house as it is pretty big so I just had it in take off mode. Great value for the money. Straightforward functionality making it great for ages 12 and up.

holy smokes, is this thing fun! Battery life: 30ish minutes of battery life per flight, its fantastic Build quality: crashed it multiple time, at high speeds and not a single failure Durability: many crashes, no breaks Control: the beginner mode makes flying easy Weight: lightweight makes it easy to control, but strong winds makes it struggle Speed: fast enough for a beginner

This is the best rc plane for your money on amazon. It’s a pusher prop plane so if you land the plane on the nose you won’t break your propeller and engine. It’s fast so you need a large place to fly around in like a soccer field without too many trees because you have to be able to see it while you’re flying. Also you don’t want to lose it or crash in a tree already. We bought extra batteries and a charger. The charger and batteries that came with it aren’t the greatest, and it’s cheap to buy a 5 pack of batteries and it comes with the charger that can charge all 5 at once for faster charging. The plane flies well, it helps if you have someone to throw it for you for take off. There’s three modes: beginner, intermediate, or expert. Basically they progressively turn off functions of the gyroscope and allow you to do stunts. Being in intermediate or expert mode you should only try if there’s basically no wind. Probably don’t fly the plane at all if the wind speed is 10mph or more. The plane has 4 channels which is an important feature for an rc plane. Planes that don’t have 4 channels can’t fly as well and are unable to roll. This plane’s 4 channels control pitch, yaw, roll, and throttle. If you want a plane that you’ll be able to keep using, and you can buy spare parts if it breaks, this is a very good buy.

I bought this plane on a decent sale partly to get something I could try out and also use with my elementary school son. The plane is OK depending on what you want to do with it and if you're willing to repair it. On the first flight, we happened to go out to an RC flight field where a lot of experts had rather nice planes and one of them checked this one out and helped us adjust it. The expert summary was about a three stars for the price; essentially "good but a toy." Flight modes: Beginner and intermediate are indistinguishable to me. I don't bother with beginner unless I'm letting my son fly it because the intermediate mode makes flying the plane incredibly easy. Expert mode is a completely different story. It immediately becomes much more challenging to fly to the point where I keep trying to master expert mode and crashing a lot. My current self-generated training exercise is to fly it up to about 100'-150', cut the power and glide to a landing in expert mode. Durability: Decent? It's made of lightweight styrofoam. I have crashed it a lot and sometimes pretty hard. The position of the propeller helps keep it flyable because I've been able to rebuild the nose with gorilla glue and packing tape pretty successfully. However, I also glued the wings back in place because they were starting to lift off. The tail can be problematic because the rear elevator on mine completely separated. I currently have it attached with tape, but too much tape overwhelms the motor's ability to drive the elevator. I also managed to crash in a way that dislodged the circuit board from the belly of the plane, pulling the rods that control the back of the plane out of place. I pushed these back in place and got it basically flyable again, but that was concerning. Overall, it's decently durable and repairable, but it does break upon crashing, just not to an inoperable degree immediately. Flight time: pretty good, possibly because I spend a fair amount of time running across the field and picking it up. Having two batteries means I can end up flying on and off for almost an hour. Kids: My son was able to fly it in the beginner mode with intensive supervision. He needed guidance keeping in the right parts of the airspace, but found the experience enjoyable.

My 18 year old son loves this airplane. We bought this twice because the first one got stuck in a tree when my husband flew it. My son was able to fly, twist, turn, and do barrel rolls. Little pricey but it provides hours of fun and lasts a good while.

For a product costing this amount, I am very disappointed to say the control had a MAJOR MALFUNCTION. While flying the plane, the control malfunctioned, the plane flew up and in circles and eventually it flew away. This was a Christmas gift, and we are disappointed. We attempted multiple times to regain control of the plane, however nothing worked, the plane did not respond AT ALL to the controller. At the very start of the flight, we had no issues, but it soon malfunctioned. This was also the FIRST FLIGHT we took with the plane. We are willing to update this review if we receive a replacement or refund, however we have been told there is “nothing they can do”.

This is a really neat little airplane. My husband loves this gift. He flys it several times a week. A good adult flying airplane Battery last a good 45-60 minutes

I have a bunch of RC planes... Everything from the UMX Turbo Timber to a $1k+ 3 meter carbon glider. I bought this little guy because I wanted to walk out the door and fly something around me (very tree laden) front yard whenever I wanted. It needed to be small and it needed to be a pusher prop because I was sure I was going to crash it like 200 times. Let me tell you it may be my best RC purchase yet. I crash this thing into trees at least 3x per battery and it just keeps going. I'm not sure what foam it's made of but it seems indestructible. Probably because it weighs as much as a paperclip so there isn't much mass to stop when I bounce it off a tree. Depending how high I hit the tree, I can often recover, pin the throttle, and keep flying. Hilarious. It's also nearly impossible to stall so good for beginners. Since most of my flying is yanking and banking around trees, I did adjust the linkage and trim to give myself like 75% up elevator authority and only 25% down... Who needs that anyway. Huge help to make it turn on a dime. I will say, this thing does not like wind, particularly gusts. Its so light that if you go to turn crosswind, it'll just get pushed and you're gonna be fighting to get it back to you. Still good fun through. Buy it.
