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

This plane is awesome! I've flown it now a few times with no issues. I have experienced 15 minute run times per battery. There are usually breezy conditions where I live and the plane still performs well due to its flight stabilization gyro system. Out of the box the plane was trimmed well with a slight upward bias which is helpful for new pilots. It can fly really fast and very slowly under control. The stunt features are cool and make you feel like a boss until you learn how to do it on your own. Highly Recommend this plane to beginner pilots.

I bought this VOLANTEXRC 4-Channel Fighter for my husband for Christmas, and it has become a total family favorite. I actually purchased a different RC plane from another site for more money, but this one is the favorite by far—the performance and durability are unbeatable for the price. The Highlights: Built to Last: This plane is incredibly durable. It has survived quite a few crashes and even two separate trips into the trees! While we’ve had some minor issues from the impacts, they were super easy to fix, and we were back in the air in no time. Intuitive Controls: This plane is incredibly easy to use. My husband taught our 7-year-old how to fly it pretty quickly! The controls are responsive and simple enough for a child to grasp, making it a great bonding activity. Crucial Warning – Flight Conditions: Avoid the Wind: Do NOT fly this in any kind of wind. Even a slight breeze can cause it to drift if you fly high enough. That’s actually how we got it stuck in our first tree - the wind pushed it out of range, and we couldn't recover it. It’s light, so it’s best for calmer days. Value for Money: Compared to the more expensive model I bought elsewhere, this is a much better value. It’s tough, easy to repair, and provides hours of entertainment. Just keep it in an open field on a still day!

This RC plane is fantastic! It was available for less than $100 during prime days and I’m blown away that you can get a genuine working airplane for that price. It comes with two batteries and if both are fully charged you can fly the plane for about 35-40 minutes. The plane also has a beginner mode and expert mode, where an internal gyro will help stabilize the plane in beginner mode. It also has one button aerobatics like barrel rolls and flips. It also has a quick takeoff mode to help get the plane up in the air. The body is very sturdy styrofoam and the propeller is designed to break away in case of a crash. Keep your eye on where the propeller is if this happens! Fortunately, the plane comes with 4 propellers… two dual blade and two quad blade. I highly recommend this, it’s been so much fun and after a session or two with the plane it starts to feel much more natural flying it. Go to a local school with a football field and have fun!

first off, this plane is NOT for beginners, but it is really really good at teaching your rudder and Alron coordination. second off, this things servos are quite responsive, and the roll rate in advanced mode is decent, but it does not do a knife edge without you changing the linkage on the rudder. Since adjustments for the control surfaces are NOT adjustable on the transmitter, I mechanically adjusted it myself by moving the linkage from the farthest out hole on the servo horn and the farthest in hole on the control horn. this plane is made out of quite durable foam, the nose section is strong, but at a fault because the motor box slowly gets pushed in due to repeated crashing. if you are going to crash, try to crash on the grass because if you crash on the concrete, you WILL break a prop and shaft adapter. I would say that the removable prop on crash feature is amazing. the vertical power and performance is impressive for having a brushed motor. the 4 bladed prop on this plane produces more drag and looks more "scale" but the two bladed prop in my experience gives a little more performance but looks less scale. I love the patriotic color scheme in the "miss America" option. makes me go hell yeah. the gear has been great, although on the second flight, I landed hard and tore the gear off. luckily, I jus used some hot glue and it was good as new. ground handling is great for a smaller plane, the gyro is perfect, the top speed of this plane is probably around 25ish MPH, which is not blazing fast, but it is nice. the parts that I do not like is the lack of flaps, proprietary receiver and Esc combo, brushed motor, and no motor area reinforcement. one flight characteristics I would want to warn any buyers about is if you are flying inverted and try to stay inverted and pull out of a loop, the elevator authority is NOT enough, and you WILL crash upside down. besides that, this airplane does tall if you yank and bank, and you do not always have time to power out of it. VOLANTEXRC, if you are reading this here is what can turn this from a four-star review into a five star "you must buy" 1. include a plug and play option for cheaper, ideally $70-$110 that allows you to use your own receiver. 2. try to make a brushless conversion kit so customers don't have to buy the $199 brushless version of this. 3. add flaps for slower flying. 4. more control throws. 5. sell official spare props for under $5, they will definitely have a chance of selling like hotcakes. OVERALL, this is definitely worth a buy. seriously, one of the best smaller planes on the market, as your second or third rc plane. go buy a high wing trainer if you are looking for a first rc plane.

Bought this for my husband he loves it! If flies easily and is very stable even in wind. Its does not break easily and is perfect for the money. You get quite a bit of time out of the battery for flight and its size is perfect to transport to fly in different locations. I will definitely be getting another one for myself!

I purchased this for my son for Christmas. This was his big present and he was incredibly excited about it. Having charged all the batteries, we took it out to fly. The plane never left the ground. Once my son raised the throttle the plane began to slide - yeah, I said slide. The wheels did not easily roll and eventually the plane's wheels caught on the concrete and the plane up-ended slamming the prop in the concrete. No big deal, right? Just slap another propeller on there and try again. Nope! The impact, despite being very slight caused the engine to dislodge from how it was glued into the styrofoam just enough to cause the gear going into the engine to not perfectly line up with the gear coming out of the propeller and subsequently, the engine gear proceeded to grind the teeth off the propeller gear. This made the plane completely un-useable ever again. It took all of 10 seconds MAX and the plane was complete trash. Sucks for me because we waited until the weather warmed up to try out the plane and now Amazon won't let me return it. Don't look at that look of disappointment in your child's eyes like I did. Buy them something else.

It's enjoyable to fly and glides well. The batteries last pretty long approximately 30 minutes each. After the second time flying it, however, the left wing broke off and two of the four propellers broke as well. Overall my son enjoyed it but I highly recommend purchasing the insurance.

This plane worked better then I imagined and has taken a beating. Its been 10 years since I have flown rc planes but was able to pick this up and fly it almost immediately without a hiccup. Had the 60 sized version of this plane and loved it and love this one as just as much. Its fast, and tracks fairly well even in a slight gust. The expert mode is too much and almost uncontrollable so I fly it on normal and medium. Its fully capable of flying in a sizeable back yard if you are good with rudder input at full throttle. It can be flown slow but do not recommend if you are a beginner and have a hard time with feathering the throttle. I fly this in my back yard around trees to have more fun. If you are a beginner use the 4 blade prop, it helps with slower speeds where as the two blade prop needs to be flown faster. Either way, you wont be dissapointed.

hard to fly with any wind.it is crash friendly.great starter plane

My first RC Plane and it seems great to learn with. Durable, since I’ve crashed it several times already. The propeller saver does its job perfectly, but does break if hard enough of a hit. There are spares but I will definitely need more. The stability is incredible for such a small light plane.
