Volantex VOLANTEXRC RC Airplane Remote Control Airplane TrainStar Mini 2.4GHz RC Plane Ready to Fly with 2.4GHz 3CH Control, 6-Axis Gyro Easy to Fly for Beginners (768-1 RTF)

This i a Great Plane for Intermediate wanting to move over from high wing trainer planes.This P-51 is very easy to assemble if you know how to put a RC plane together. Although the instructions suck so you will need to know how to put a plane together. Screw the horns into the control surfaces. Just use 2 screws per horn. Assemble the airframe (wing onto fuselage, horizontal and vertical stabilisers onto fuselage). Charge up the flight battery with the provided USB charger and you are ready to go. Pre-flight check to ensure that the control surfaces move in the right direction. If you need to reverse ailerons after switching on the model and transmitter, ensure you keep the throttle at zero, then hold the aileron stick (right stick) over for a few seconds to correct them.In the air this P-51 has a good turn of speed. Complimented by the gyro stabilisation system this is good for relative beginners through to expert RC pilots who want a small plane to keep on the passenger seat.This is a RTF version = Ready to Fly. This includes everything in the box for you to take out and start flying. All the components are included, ie; the model with all the radio controls and the flight battery. Also you get the transmitter but this does not come with (AA) batteries.Instructions suck but i will tell youP.S. if you looking for Batteries Purchase the (Tattu 800mAh 7.4V 45C) as this has a Higher capacity & higher voltage... got 7 minutes out of the battery and the plane was much faster. and has a snug fit so it won't move.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BJZZYBY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My first warbird so far. It came earlier than I thought but I didn't have the time to go pick up my mail with all of what's going on now. I'm happy with the purchase and it is what the seller and someone here described which eased my worry. I can't wait to get this up in the air to try out the different modes. The assembly is pretty easy had it put together in about 30 minutes. tested out everything and it looks like it's a go. I wonder if I can get a battery that can give me around 10 - 20 minutes of flight (but I can probably manage that by not gunning it with the throttle).*UPDATE*I flew this at the airfield earlier today, and this plane handles the wind and fights it like a champ, I taped the nose cone to the spinner for some reinforcement after learning that the nose cone can come off during flight. It flies beautifully in intermediate mode and beginner; it gets a little squirrely when in expert mode but it's awesome to fly. I did crash it and got it stuck in a bush and it was totally okay, only the screw that held the wing in place came loose after the flying. It's a great plane to have. I do recommend replacing the stock batter with the one the other customer linked. I used those batteries and got nearly double the flight time (I got around 10 minutes of flight when I wasn't at full throttle.) I will definitely get more of those batteries.

Waste of money. Complete garbage, one landing, not even hard,broke the fuselage in half, instructions are garbage, no spare parts given, I would of had more fun burning $150 in my backyard then fly this POS. Don't buy it!

I like the affordable price for a warbid rc but the assembly was a little confusing because the manual was lacking details. I had to watch an unboxing video on youtube. I find that the switch to toggle between beginner, intermediate,and advanced a little cumbersome and touchy which lead to a couple of crashes. I wish there was a spare spinner to go with the spare prop.

Others have already discussed some of the short comings of this plane, so I'll focus on it's quality and value. I bought a HobbyZone AeroScout about the same time as the Volantex P51 768-1 (750mm wingspan). The 768-1 is 150 bucks, and the AeroScout is 200 bucks. There is no comparison relative to value and quality; the Volantex is a toy by comparison to the AeroScout. Both are the Ready To Fly versions.First, the AeroScout is a true beginner's plane. Both planes have flight stabilization, but the high wing and overall design makes it so much easier to fly than the P51, even when the AeroScout is in expert mode. The P51 isn't too bad to fly once you've had some flying time (thanks to simulators), but it should not be billed as a beginner plane, no matter what those YouTube RCers say (they are expert fliers).The AeroScout is much bigger. The design of the wings' airfoil was well thought out, and it works well. In coordination with the receiver's gyro, the plane is crazy stable and predictable. The wings on the P51 look to be pretty scale, which doesn't give the beginner much help.The AeroScout comes with a low end Spektrum transmitter, with good feel and build quality, and a high quality receiver. The Volantex comes with a transmitter and receiver similar to the sub-$50 RTFs, toy-quality; it doesn't function nearly as well as the Spektrum system. Most important though is that you can accidentally reverse the control surface servos EVERY TIME YOU POWER UP THE TRANSMITTER! I don't understand why they even gave the transmitter this function, it is specific to the plane and receiver, and all the servos and pushrods are in place. It should simply have been set at the factory like the AeroScout, or the cheap WLtoys XK A100 Jet for that matter. Another head scratcher is that Volantex threw in an extra channel, possibly so you can add flaps? But the plane has no room for flaps, and it would be a nightmare to modify the single servo ailerons to add flaps.The most tell-tale difference between to the two planes is in the build quality. The AeroScout has real heavy duty landing gear, solid construction with serious carbon dowels for strength. The parts fit together perfectly and all the control surfaces are aligned without additional tampering. The wing structure and attachment are high-quality, everything just fits well right out of the box. The P51 on the other hand, is a bit of a joke at its price point. First, I got 2 four-blade props, but a spinner for a twin blade prop. The props feel like they came out of a plastic model kit, very brittle, and I immediately broke both on not too hard landings. I replaced it with a better 2 blade prop, no breaks now.It honestly seems like the bag of hardware you get to build the plane is packed by simply taking a handful from a mixed bucket. You have to guess what goes where, because there is no indication in the instructions, which are poorly written on the build side. Not only did I get many extras of everything, but some didn't seem to go with this plane. Lots of extra servo arms for some reason. The wires from the servos are poorly routed and so long I had to make numerous modifications so they didn't hang up the servo arms. The scoop on the bottom of the plane greatly impacts the wing installation so the wires have to be long, but can't be adjusted. The wing is just hard to get on, as the receiver and the wire plus get in the way.As many on youtube point out, the landing gear holders on the P51 are poorly designed and will break without mods. All the control surfaces had to be adjusted to get straight. One aileron is crooked, just came that way. All the electronics, battery, charger, and motor are lower end, toy-level; the AeroScout is all hobby-level parts, clearly more expensive. If the P51 cost $75, it would be a good a value; given the 150 price tag, if it had the quality build of the AeroScout, it would have to cost $400. As is, you get so much more plane with the AeroScout.
