VOLANTEXRCRC Plane FW190 Fighter 4CH Remote Control Airplane RTF with Aileron, Gyro, Aerobatics & 3 Modes to Fly, Hobby Radio Controlled Warbird Aircraft for Adults, Beginners, Boys (761-17)

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!

This is a good second plane or maybe a starter plane. My son started with a plane where speed also controlled elevation so there were only two controls - one for speed/elevation the other for turning.This plane has an elevator so speed and altitude can be controlled independently. So it’s one step more complex than his starter - but only one step. There is no rudder or aileron so it’s not too complex. I like the propellers on the side and not up front so that when you crash it doesn’t damage the propeller. The foam is durable. The battery door is a bit tight so I just broke it off.Don’t expect perfection - realize that it’s a decent deal for the price. If you want perfection you’ll have to pay more. But this is a lot of fun to fly and a great first or second plane. I’d give it a 4.75 if I could.

Great RC airplane, it constructed with styrofoam but it is detailing is very nice. Radio control is easy to use. Comes with spare props for the plane. Great for someone who wants to try the hobby with out spending a lot. Comes also two rechargeable batteries.

I am an experienced RC pilot with over 65 planes since I started 10 years or so ago. Recently went to college and moved into a dorm and couldn't bring any of my big planes with me. However, I bought this little guy, and I'm glad I did. It flies well; the gyros work amazingly, having flown it in 25mph steady winds. Mine came with two batteries and 3 props (Ordered the FW-190; I'll add pictures to this review at a later time.) and with both batteries on the 3-bladed prop, I got about 35~45 minutes of flight at half throttle, which is insane! Its extremely durable (the controller is NOT DURABLE AT ALL) and handles crashes well. No tip stall to either side on both beginner and expert modes. The rudder has great control response, as does the elevator, even with such small amounts of travel. Ive suggested these little planes to a few of my newfound friends, and even those with zero experience are getting very good at flying them. Couldn't recommend them enough. Id buy them only on Amazon though, as if something does go wrong, you can return it unlike sites like Alibaba, where I see these sold for cheaper. But in the 5 that were purchased (one by me, the rest by friends), we've all had great experiences. All of us have different models. They do behave differently, with the Corsair being very unhappy at slow speeds, the P-51 doing well at low speeds but having some stall issues, and the Spitfire model being an all-around great aircraft with the eliptical wing. All of us get similar flight times in similar flight conditions, with the longest-running two being the Spit and Mustang lasting the same. The P-40 flew really well but didn't like the wind as much, and the slowest was the Zero. It still flew nicely, however. Definitely buy this whether your a young kid looking to get into the hobby and toss a little foamie around your little league field or an older guy looking for something cheap and small to toss and boss at the club field! 10/10 will buy one again. More than likely the entire rest of the lineup!

100 dollars for jack crap wasted 100 dollars on this and I was so excited to fly it but next thing you know my 7th flight it dies so I replace the battery and the throttle does not even turn on nothing only flaps there's no warranty or anything just don't get this plane get a horizon hobby plane with a warranty there cheapest one it the carbon cub s2 for 300 plus the battery and charger just get that it's much better
