VOLANTEXRC RC Plane Trainer Sport Cub 4CH Remote Control Airplane with Prop Saver, 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer & 3 Modes to Fly, Radio Controlled Aircraft RTF for Beginners & Adults (500mm,Blue)

I bought this plane last year. I've wanted once since I was a kid and finally got around to buying one. The gyroscopic stabilizer is great. Beginner is pretty fail proof, intermediate allows you to do some tricks and fly tighter turns while still being forgiving. Expert is hard, but I'm also no pro. The ailerons are a huge factor in making this great. A friend bought one without them and it's much less fun. Something to note, I have flyed a lot and gotten pretty good, but I have crashed mine probably 50 times flying in too small of an area in my backyard, a few at full speed. It held up very well and I was surprised how long it lasted before a crack. After many many head on collisions it did eventually crack the foam in the nose, but was easily repaired with some clear gorilla glue. Still flies great after the repair. If your more careful than me and fly in fields I would not be surprised if it never breaks. The prop is pretty durable and pops off if crashed. This is good since the prop won't break. The downside is it can be easy to loose them. I've debated spray painting one high visibility orange to make it easier to find.

Even though this plane is made of styrofoam, it's pretty durable! My dad bought one of these and on his first flight crashed it into a light post, and it didn't take much damage at all. Later on, he found he was losing control of his plane when he flew it, possibly something wrong with the electronics. But he sent it back and got a replacement at no charge! The different flight modes make this much more fun and easy to fly than it would be otherwise. This plane takes off within just a few feet and climbs great. The expert mode is really fun, although I generally only use it when the plane is at least 100 feet in the air. I often lose control in expert mode since I'm not too experienced, so this plane should have crashed dozens of times if it weren't for the different difficulty modes. I simply switch back to beginner mode and it straightens out of its tailspin or nose dive or whatever, which makes me more comfortable trying out complex aerobatics and risky maneuvers (as long as the plane is high enough). Anyway, this is an absolute joy to fly and has really helped break the monotony of quarantine. My dad and I often fly together. We make sure we pair our planes when they're both on the ground, though. Every once in a while, one controller pairs to both planes, so we always make sure our controllers are paired to the correct planes before taking off. I would recommend this plane to anyone!

I purchased this for my grandchildren, 9 and 12 years old. They have a lot of fun with it. It is hard for them to control and has suffered multiple hard crashes. The nose cracked after one particularly hard crash (picture). I used super glue to repair. After a few more hard crashes, the nose broke again about half an inch from the first repair. This time I used epoxy and reinforced the repair with a lamination of cloth. While it is difficult for the young ones to control, it has been well worth the money for the experience and fun they have had. Disclaimer: I have no previous experience with RC aircraft. Added Info: After several sessions the 12 y.o. has done loops and vertical stalls, the 9 y.o. is able to make extended flights and land without hard crashes. Excellent beginner aircraft.

Great rc plane for beginner or even someone with a little more skill. Extremely durable, just might need to buy more props. Get several people together flying them is even more fun. We even try to crash them, which we do... put the prop back on and away you go! GREAT PLANES!!!

This little plane is amazing for the price. 10 years ago this would have been crazy expensive, and this tech wasn't mature enough to be viable....they had tiny RC planes, but they were difficult to fly for your average pilot. The beginner mode and intermediate mode work very well and make flying this little plane a breeze. Any one who knows the basics of flying can fly in beginning mode. I flew it on expert for a little bit, to do some aerobatics, I don't recommend it unless you are VERY experienced. It was really squirrely in expert mode and can get out of hand in hurry, and the wind even a little bit can really mess you up. I have only flown this plane 3 times, once in my front yard, twice in my alley behind my house using the dirt road as a run way. It needs to have a smooth runway or it will nose over. The wheels are very small. I took it off in a track I made with my truck tire and that worked fine, but I wasn't precise enough to land it in the track for both flights back there and it nosed over on the landing from the bumpy road, it landed fine on the black top on the street in front of my house. The good news is NO Damage. I also dropped it from shoulder height while removing the battery, also no damage. The flight times are very long, I didn't notice any decrease in power before I landed and was up each time for several minutes, I didn't time it but it felt like I was flying for a while. Half throttle is more than enough power for normal flying, it still gains altitude even slightly below half throttle. To sum it all up, I highly recommend this plane to any one who knows the basics of flying RC.

I had a smaller version of this plane before and loved it. Super durable, was able to fly that thing no problem on expert. I recently had the wind take that plane and crash it till it wasn't repairable. So I bought this plane. From seeing it, its the same set up as the last one i had. But first flight almost lost the thing in the tops of trees. I tried a few different batteries on it and all of them did the same thing. Plane was extremely hard to control even on beginner. Im not best flyer but i know how to fly rc planes after years. For some reason, this one is very difficult. Not a fan of it at all. Me personally i don't recommend purchasing.

Very nice starter rc aircraft. Bought for granddaughter who wants to transition later to the real thing. Nice features for learning without aircraft destruction.
