Get ready to take off on your next adventure with this must-have RC plane today! Review: It is important to know that this is pricey - This plane is fun to fly! Must get it! It produces lots of thrust to fly, and I like the sound Review: Easy to Fly, Durable, and Tons of Fun - This RC F-16 has been a huge hit in our house. My son absolutely loves it, and I was impressed with how easy it was to get flying right out of the box. Setup was straightforward, and the gyro stabilization really helps keep things smooth and controlled — especially for beginners. The batteries charged quickly and lasted longer than I expected, which meant more actual flight time and less waiting around. We were flying from a hay field with pretty tall grass, so we used the hand-throw takeoff method — and it worked perfectly. It launched easily and climbed smoothly. What surprised me most was how well it handles light wind. It cuts through a breeze confidently and maneuvers with precision. It’s lightweight but doesn’t feel fragile. In fact, during the learning phase, we had a few nose-first crashes (part of the process!), and it handled them without any visible damage. On top of all that, it just looks cool in the air. The scale fighter jet design makes it even more fun to fly. Pros: Beginner-friendly and easy to control Quick charging with solid flight time Durable EPP foam construction Handles light wind well Two takeoff options (great for grass fields) Great value for the performance Overall, this has been a fantastic outdoor activity and a great introduction to RC flying. Highly recommend for kids (and adults) looking for something fun and surprisingly capable. ## Features - EFFORTLESS FLIGHT WITH GYRO STABILIZER - This beginner rc plane is equipped with a cutting-edge 6-axis gyro stabilization system, providing significant stability for effortless control, making it perfect for beginners and experienced pilots alike.

Does it have a name brand receiver?** A: The receiver in this plane requires that you either use the transmitter that comes with your plane or a transmitter that uses “Open TX” protocol. I use a Jumper T12 transmitter, which uses the Open TX protocol. The setup for the Volantex planes with an Open TX transmitter requires a pretty intensive learning curve and is not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, you cannot use any of the Spektrum transmitters (DX6 etc.) with the Volantex planes, as Spektrum does not support the Volantex protocol. The little transmitter that comes with the Volantex plane is actually not bad. With practice, you can even learn to fly your Volantex warbirds in “experienced mode” with this little transmitter. **Q: can i put a spektrum recever in it?** A: I was wondering the same thing, but unfortunately, I don’t think Spektrum makes a small enough receiver to fit in it, plus, you would have to remove the little foam cover on the bottom which is glued in place, and I haven’t done it because I’m afraid it will ruin the plane. Just realize they stuffed a lot of electronics and technology into a very small space, so to be honest with you, I think you’re better off just leaving the plane as it is and using the included receiver and transmitter and just have fun with it. As nice as it would be to be able to link it to your Spektrum receiver, I just don’t think it’s worth the hassle. The included rec/trans actually work really well for a $120 rtf plane. I’ve had zero issues and have gotten close to 1000’ feet away and not lost control. Hope this helps…happy flying **Q: question..how many batteries come with this plane..???** A: It come with two batteries. **Q: Can someone tell me the density of the epp foam used?** A: I can't tell you the density, but it's solid enough to withstand many crashes. It will chip but hasn't looked like breaking despite some spectacularly bad landings including one into the side of a my van. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is important to know that this is pricey *by A***R on 2 August 2026* This plane is fun to fly! Must get it!

It worked well the first time out although it was a little underpowered. My grandson made a number of short flights of less than a minute each, getting familiar with the controls. The second time out, he made a few quick flights and it seemed to be working properly. He was comfortable with the controls, so he made a longer flight around the field and after a couple of minutes it quit responding to the controls. It continued to fly straight and level even when he reduced the throttle to zero and set the elevator control to bring it down. It ending up landing in the street. The only external damage was a broken propeller. When we examined it more closely, the wiring inside the plane had overheated and the insulation had CAUGHT FIRE, To see the damage you had to open the battery cover. I have attached photos to the review that I sent to EXHOBBY expecting to get a replacement for a CLEARLY DEFECTIVE plane. One picture shows the burnt wiring. The other two show the top and bottom views of the plane showing the exterior in almost new condition. This wasn't the result of a crash or other misuse of the plane. When they received my information, they replied offering me an unspecified discount on the purchase of another plane. I requested a replacement and they quit responding to my emails. They were sending me sales emails, and read receipts verified that they received my follow up emails. The read receipts indicated the email was being forwarded to Hong Kong, so I figured I had no further recourse with an overseas company. I ended up having to buy a replacement plane for my grandson from another brand and seller. The purchase of this plane was a compete waste of money and only disappointed my grandson. This product is UNSAFE and the seller doesn't give acceptable support.
