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, Kids and Adults (500mm,Blue)

The best slow flying clam RC plane not really capable of stunts but smiles all day. Can land nice and softly

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.

I have a few rules for you.Don’t bother if you do not have at least 1 full clear square acre free of trees.If you live somewhere windy then do not bother. A slight wind will send this thing flying and the auto-level software will bug out, it bugs out all the time, and won’t let you turn so you go flying into the trees.I have a lot of space, but the space is surrounded by trees, and this thing is always stuck in a tree. In fact, it’s outside in a tree right now.All of that said, it’s barely over 100 dollars and is a lot of fun. I’m not mad it’s in a tree because it’s so cheap. The thing is sturdy. Half the time it’s in a tree so get it out by throwing sticks at it. It can tank damage. I’ve had several hard landings, ran it into a grill and a mower as well. All that happens is the propeller flies off. Would be cool if they were bright orange so they were easier to find.I took 1 star because the flight training software is really bad and has caused at least half my crashes. It limits hard turns and seems to counter my rudder?

This item is great I loved it and flew it till the battery died and almost stalled into my yard. But landed

My brothers and I ordered these in the same week and all three of us had to recalibrate the gyro immediately. Initial flights it would not turn left. Had to recalibrate numerous times before it would turn and fly correctly. Not sure if these were bad batches but all are the same.

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.

The wheels fell off while flying, front propellors broke off, and the wing broke on the first landing. Waste of $50

I'm an expert RC flyers, I have flown many complex RC aircraft, including multi engine, and jets. I got this to use on vacation. It's not bad for the price. Because of its small size, I would not consider this a "Trainer". It's relatively easy to fly, but there are easier (and bigger) ones out there. You'll want something bigger. It can be difficult to teach yourself how to fly a model airplane. That's because left and right controls reverse when the plane is coming toward you. This is a skill that can take about 30 minutes to master. If you have someone to help you, that's the best, but they are also simulator programs that you can run on your desktop computer to train yourself. The product is manufactured in China, and in some cases, the instructions gonna be a little comical to read. It's sad that they have eliminated the ability for users to comment on a review. In the past, customers were able to help each other with these comments. Sadly, those days are gone. Sometimes, manufactures, would respond to reviews to help a customer as well.
