4 Channel RC Plane, Remote Control Airplane Cessna Ready to Fly, Brushless Motor 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer 3 Flight Mode Stunt Flying, Easy Trainer for Beginner & Kid

Out of the box, the plane was mostly assembled. I just had to attach the wing and the landing gear, which took all of about ten minutes with the included screws. The battery charged in a reasonable amount of time, and the initial pairing with the remote was straightforward. For a first-timer, the self-stabilization mode really does help keep it level in the air; it took some getting used to the controls, but it wasn't overly sensitive. My step-daughter had a go with it too, and she picked up the basics pretty quickly in the stable mode. The plane has taken a couple of minor bumps on landing, and the foam body has held up without any cracks. The brushless motor provides decent power for getting it airborne, even in a bit of wind. The different flight modes offer a clear progression as you get more comfortable with the controls.

We have had this out at our local park a few times with the kids and it's a lot of fun. Battery lasts a decent amount of time and comes with two to extend duration. This is made of thay hard styrofoam which is obviously light weight but can break easily. It is reinforced with a bit of a skeleton set of thing metal tube's to keep it operating correctly and provide it some weight at the same time. This is definitely not a plane I expect to last a long time, but as long as we take care of it, I do feel like we will get a season or two out of it. Flying the plane is fairly simple with the gaming type controller it comes with that does what it needs to do. I like that the left knob allows me to lock in the speed up or down without having to continually press it as it holds in position vertically. All things considered, fun toy for all ages but definitely requires adult help throughout the process.

Very cool albeit very lightweight plane. If you can find a large clear area (parks with grass work best) on a day where there is little or no wind this thing is a blast to fly. I have crashed it a few times and no major damage which is reassuring. The look of the plane is also very cool and the box art is well done, this would make a great gift to anyone trying to get into the hobby!

Front landing gear broke on landing made cheaply

When I was a kid I really wanted an RC plane. They were very expensive (and still are) for entry level investment. I feel like this checks all the boxes of a low cost of entry with really good build quality for the price.If you're looking for an entry into the hobby with a low entry level cost I would give this a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I am very disappointed with the HAWK'S WORK 4 Channel Radio Controlled Airplane. The Sales Price Plus the Classic Cessna design looks Great, The Electric Motor and Controller look quite capable, that is the end of the good stuff. The Poor Qualities of the Flight Controller are at the heart of the problem.In the many tries to fly the airplane it seems the maximum control distance is about seventy-five feet, maybe less before it looses the radio signal and dives for the ground. I own over fifty similar Airplanes, not a single one has these types of issues. The Manual Travel Inputs on the Radio Controlled surfaces is a couple of Millimeters at best, the flight controller on the other hand has the ability to move them to the extreme limits - making flying this Airplane all but impossible.Hopefully Hawks Work will correct these issue in the future, for now I would avoid this product and look for similar products that feature XPilot or another proven flight controller, especially for the Beginner RC Pilot.I gave the HAWK'S WORK 4 Channel Radio Controlled Airplane a full Two Stars Across the Board. The Airplane is designed really well, the Foam is Durable, The Electric Motor and Servos are Capable and reliable. The Radio Control & Flight Controller are Sub-Standard taking out the remaining three Stars.

This flies OK, but the servos have a bit of trouble returning the control surfaces to their neutral point.It was calm enough this morning to take this out and give it a test flight.Before the test flight I checked out the centering on the control surfaces and their movements.They move a bit sluggish and don't have much travel, but this can actually be good in a trainer style plane.While testing it, I noticed that the control surfaces tended to not return all the way to their neutral point, and you had to give them a little counter input to get them back to neutral.I could not identify any issues with the push rods, this seems to be caused by play in the servo and/or servo horns.I took it out for some test flights and with the gyro inputs turned on, the sluggishness and play of the control surfaces was not a problem beyond a tenancy to yoyo up and down or wag its tail a bit.With the gyro turned off, you could defiantly notice the play in the servo controls, but at the same time it also gave you much more control over the control surfaces.It flies OK, with the gyro turned on, it is somewhat beginner friendly, but not as good as it could be.The plane can take a less than perfect landing with almost no damage beyond a few minor dents in the foam.I didn't have a landing hard enough to damage the propeller so I don't know if that hard of a landing would cause problems with the motor or motor mounts.The motor seems to have plenty of power, this thing will climb very well, and it could get out of range fairly quickly.It flies best at about 1/2 throttle.The range was OK, I never had it get out of range, but if it did, it would be hard to see at 200 meters.The controller is too much like a console gaming controller for me, but the younger generation may find it better than the old boxy style RC transmitters.
