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

I’m having lots of fun flying this little plane. Yes it is kinda small, the plane is about one foot square when looking down at it. A four channel plane, ailerons, elevator, rudder, and throttle controls for an aircraft this small is unusual. Then add a gyro to make it stable and easier to fly. Then add a stunt button, since the gyro is trying to stabilize the plane the stunt button makes it possible to still enjoy some loops and rolls. Even though it is cheating, it’s still very cool. I’m flying at the local school yard which is a soccer size field. This is enough, but a larger field is better, especially for beginners. All of my landings have pretty much been crash landings. Since I’m landing on grass, the wheels don’t roll, the grass just grabs the landing gear and the plane does a forward flip and lands upside down. I do bring it in as slow and low as I can and just cut the power when it touches down. No problem, this plane is so light, it doesn’t hurt with this kind of landing. No damage so far, after about a dozen flights, I’m still using the original propeller, which has popped off a couple of times on some rougher landings. The kit I bought came with two batteries and I’m getting about 15 to 20 minutes of flying from each battery for a total of 40 minutes of flying time. In addition this plane looks cool and much like the real P-51 and it’s a great value for what you get. Nothing bad to say about this kit, only a comment that it is small and it is light so best to fly with no wind or low wind. All said it’s a great little plane for so many reasons and at a great price. Pick one of these planes from this war bird series, buy it and go have some fun.

From 8 year old: This is my third RC jet and my favorite so far. Great for beginners and easy to fly. When it hits the ground the propeller pops off so it doesn’t break. Pretty durable. I hit a tree a couple of times and the wheel came off but I glued it with super glue. I can do barrel rolls, aerobatics, and take off on grass.

I grew up flying control line planes and always wanted to get into RC planes. I tried a few beginner planes 10 years ago and the results were catastrophic (destroying the plane in 30 seconds). I thought I would give the VolantrexRC plane a try given that it has built in stabilization. I have to say my expectations were low. Boy was I surprised! Plane (P-51) came ready to fly. I charged the supplied batteries and put 4 AAs in the transmitter and was ready to fly. I went to a football field with just a slight breeze. Put the plane in beginner mode and launched it. The plane flew beautifully, very easy to control and nice performance. Had a few hard landings, but the plane was pretty robust - the breakaway prop is awesome. The preprogramed aerobatics are very cool, just make sure you have some speed and are at a decent altitude. Recommend not installing the landing gear, slows the plane down and also snaps the mount if you do a hard landing. Just hand launch the plane with 70% throttle and you should be fine. Love this plane and cannot recommend it enough.

Excellent value for the price! Looks great & flies great!

This simple RC airplane is a real blast to fly. You can fly it in your street, a small park, a large backyard - it's great to do this with because it's so light you'd really have to work at it to damage anything. The pop-off prop is great, reattaches with ease and makes nose-dive landings easily recoverable. I flew it into a park bench and the wing just bounced off without even a divot in the foam. The control throws aren't great, the controller is pretty junky, but you're only paying like a hundred bucks for the whole package so it's more than acceptable. It's a great starter aircraft with the auto-stability enabled, it flies perfectly flat and steady and landing is a dream. (Seriously, it's super easy to land with stability on.) This particular model, the P-47, isn't very scale in appearance, but does have the elliptical wings that the famed warbird did, which makes it very prone to stalling and loss of control at low speeds - you pretty much need to keep the motor running if you want to maneuver, but no big deal once you get used to it. This isn't a precision model, so your CG may be a little off (mine was a little tail-heavy) and the trim functionality didn't seem great, but just a great toy to play with and the price is right. Get one, enjoy it, slam it around and take it places. This is a great 15 minute afternoon diversion on a still day!

Been an avid R/C pilot for over 20 years. Was an AMA certified instructor flying nitro and electric small and large models. Don’t waist your money on this plane. Stability and control response is terrible. If you have never flown R/C you will crash this plane. Not recommended for new pilots.

First, this is a great little plane that will get up and go. The problem is with the propellers. They break very easily. No propellers = no flying. Very disappointing.

They might be small, but they pack a punch and are super easy to fly .. my son was a pro in one battery

A good valued item. Very durable. It's quite impressive for such a small package, with the 3 different modes of flight. This plane is great for the beginner and for the experience pilot of rc aircraft . Very fun to fly, and extremely quiet. Fully aerobatic in mode 3. I've enjoyed every flight so far. Best to be flown in very light winds, or no wind for best results. Flight time is quite long up to 30 min if you are just slow flying. Worth every penny.

Absolutely fantastic! I was hesitant at first, with such a low price point. After watching several review videos from serious RC content creators all gushing about how great it was, I figured it was a safe bet. Oh boy, was it ever! First, the shipping. I ordered it Friday afternoon, had it Tuesday morning with the free shipping option. The item was sufficiently packed with some craft paper stuffed inside the Amazon box around the packaging box for a bit of padding. It arrived in perfect, unscathed shape. Checked all flight controls on a level surface (note: must use Expert mode on the controller to do this) and verified they were all free moving and returned to center, which they did, no adjustments required at all. The wheels take a bit more force than you might think they should to pop in, I don't recommend using your thumb! I braced the back of the wing in my one hand and used a coin to pop it into the slot, then installed the lock screw. Took it out to the park and flew it in 15 minutes right out of the box, only because I walked to the park. It flies AMAZING!!! I've never operated, let alone owned an RC plane before. My only piloting experience comes from playing flight sim games on the computer since I was a kid. So I understand the princepals of flying, but doing so with cockpit view and joystick and pedals, not an RC controller and watching from the ground. Yet, within 30 seconds, I was comfortably doing laps around the park. That said, I was flying in the "beginner" mode which has the flight assist feature. I definitely recommend starting here if this is your first RC plane. This little bugger is FAST and it's very easy to get a bit disoriented. Had 2 small crashes, plane doesn't have a scratch and the prop saver worked as it should both times, easy to pop back on too! This little plane is an absolute blast to fly and a great bargain way to enter into the world of RC planes.

When we received this plane, it didn't work right out of the box. However, I think it was a lemon, as the replacement plane works perfectly and is very fun.

Plane is very durable. Flew it into the side of a building by accident and it bounced right off and was back in the air after putting the propeller on. Extremely easy to fly for beginners.

These things usually break on me but it won't, batteries last for ages also awesome fun I love it. My 9 year old picked up flight with this plane in 10 minutes.
