VOLANTEXRC RC Plane 3 Channel Remote Control Plane Fighter Spitfire with 6-axis Gyro, 2.4GHz RTF Radio Controlled Aircraft Easy to Fly for Beginners Boys Adults Kids (76205 RTF)

I never leave reviews cuz I absolutely hate writing. But these planes seriously deserve a review! I highly suggest them for any beginning or even advanced RC guy (like me). Easy to fly, fast, agile, and has the perfect mix of durability and aesthetics (they look so cool, especially if you love WW2 planes like I do). I've bought a total of 9 of these planes and I finally feel experienced enough to offer some good advice. So here you go:1) Buy either the Corsair or the BF109. They fly the best -- especially the Corsair but they all fly slightly different depending on chance. I haven't had a plane fly poorly, but the Mustang did get a little shaky when going fast or when it was windy and the P40 Warhawk was super jittery. The Corsair is BY FAR my favorite though. I've had 3 and they all flew super good (crashed one straight into a fence and the other one I crashed so many times it simply became inoperable).2) LEARN TO FLY THESE IN A GRASS FIELD. A BIG ONE! You are going to crash 100,383 times before you get anywhere near adept enough to fly these things in front of your house. But if you're doing it in a giant grass field, then you can crash them literally dozens of times and they won't break. Concrete, on the other hand, can wreck them in one crash.3) Keep the wheels on. They'll break off from time to time -- to which superglue will mount them back on -- but they'll protect the battery cage from breaking. On the superglue note, it's awesome for glueing together broken wings etc cuz the planes are just styrofoam.4) Buy extra props. They fall off on impact and don't break often, but they do crack relatively easily so you'll want extra ones trust me.5) Have needle nose pliers on hand for removing the battery. You'll thank me later.6) Before your first flight make sure the prop is on securely by gunning it while you hold it then dragging it backwards through the air. If that doesn't make the prop fall off, then you're ready to send it.7) Make sure your controller is in easy mode on your first flight. Once you get better, go to intermediate mode. That's where I still am, and it's the best mode to fly in IMO. The one time I went into expert mode I drilled my BF109 straight into the concrete and it destroyed my brand new plane. Sucked.8) When taking off, put the throttle on full, and huck the plane as high as you can at a 45 degree angle into the wind.9) I'd just fly in circles using the right control knob at first. Then crash it into the grass and repeat. These planes are SO FUN!10) Once you graduate to flying them outside your house try to land in grass. You basically crash land but it's better than crashing in the street on a failed approach. Then once you master grass, land on the street. But give it several weeks before going for a street landing. Cuz if you bend the shaft that spins the propeller that will essentially total your plane.11) Land in the street by coming in fast and low. I'll come in at like half speed and once the wheels are down I'll cut power. My landings are now like butter and I'm breaking my planes WAY LESS.10) You can fly these things almost entirely with the right joystick. Just keep the left joystick pinned (throttle) and fly the thing with the right one. Easy Peasy.11) Once you're an epic pilot like me, you'll be chasing birds around and dive bombing the kids in the neighborhood. You'll be doing loops and barrel rolls and songs will be written about you that will be sung around campfires for generations to come. These things are awesome, GET ONE!

ABSOLUTELY amazing flew great crashed onto some old lady's roof the x pilot good. Getting replacement. Battery life latest like 25 minutes, worth your money. Controls are good too.

This toy has been great to learn how to fly although I crash it every time I take it out I still have fun. Landing gear is a little weak however I flew it right into a big tree when they broke so probably just used error

This RC airplane is an absolute blast! As soon as I took it out of the box, I was amazed by its sleek design and sturdy build. Made of durable foam, it can withstand minor bumps and crashes. The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up, even for beginners. The flight time is impressive, and the airplane performs a variety of stunts with ease.The only minor downside is that it can be a bit windy outside, which can affect the flight stability. However, on calm days, it's a joy to fly.Overall, I highly recommend this RC airplane to anyone looking for a fun and exciting hobby. It's perfect for kids and adults alike!

I took my son out to test flight this in a open field on Christmas day. We went through all precautions and when the plane took off, I was like, "Wow it flies pretty well!" It had a good amount of power and worked pretty well..at first. However, my son told me, while he was flying it, the propeller had seemed to stop mid air, while it was still climbing, so he banked left to turn it around and help it glide for a soft landing. He glided its way down to a soft landing and ran over to it. The propeller had popped off but it was an easy fix! We put it back on but the propeller was not spinning and we thought it was jammed. We look into the motor and found it fine, it just wasn't spinning. My son then said, "Hey, is that smoke!?" Pointing at the battery cabin. I said it was probably our breaths from the cold, but we started smelling something like burnt wires and stuff and quickly opened the cabin. We saw the battery slightly, we took it out, it was burning hot, and unplugged it quickly before it would've possibly exploded!! Just a few more seconds of looking at the plane would've gotten us to the hospital if we didn't notice. We smelled inside the aircraft as well, we found out that something burned in there as well. It barely lasted a flight and the actually motor spinner only for a few mere 8 or so seconds. It was absolutely a very heartbroken christmas.

The ZHIKE RC Airplane is a fantastic gift for anyone interested in remote control planes, especially for beginners and hobbyists alike! This 4-channel plane, designed with a built-in gyro, is remarkably stable and easy to fly—even for those new to RC flying. My husband found it super engaging and loved how smoothly it handled in the air, with responsive controls that make it easy to perform tricks and navigate. It’s durable enough to withstand some bumps, so it’s perfect for outdoor fun without too much worry.It’s so great that my husband has 34 of them in the basement—just for him! No kidding! If you’re looking for an entertaining and exciting way to spend time outdoors, I highly recommend this plane for both adults and kids!

This thing is amazing!!! Got it for my son’s 10th birthday. There is definitely a learning curve. A few things. 1. There are front wheels that need to be installed. We didn’t realize this for the first few days. This helps it land a bit better. 2. Spray paint your propellers a bright color so when they pop off at crash - you can find them. This dramatically improved my son’s expierence with this little airplane. It’s got so much pep. It flies way longer than the 15 mins it says.It does crash a lot. Mostlikely our fault since we’re newbs. It took a hard hit and kind of split. We will need to tape it together in order to get it back up and running but we love this thing. I just wish it was a bit cheaper so we could replace it. I got it on a deal for around $70 but it’s back up to $120 now. Highly recommend for your kiddos looking for a fun airplane.
