volantexrc RC Plane, 4CH Remote Control Glider for Beginners & Adults

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.

Easy to fly. Good quality

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.

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.

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

Flys well.

This plane is awesome. I’m a new pilot had very little problems learning to fly it. I was flying in medium mode after 15 flights. Many crashes in tall grass. No damage. I hit driveway once and took out a small chuck in nose area. Put tape on it and still flys like a champ. I will buy another then move on up from there. Love it

It’s decent the acrobat Button does not work. It’s not enough power and if you do not be careful with the motor, it will burn out. I had a propeller break and the motor was on for about five seconds and after that it burnt out after a few more flights for some reason, understandable for what I’ve done but still, and if I take it up near the mountains, it does not have enough power to fly at all if you go a little below the mountains where there’s more pressure it will fly, but not the best would get for your kids if you live at a pressurized zone because it is durable and flies decent once you do get it up flying
