VOLANTEXRC RC Glider Plane Ranger600 Stunt 4 CH Remote Control Airplane RTF with 6-Axis Gyro & 3 Modes Easy to Fly, 2.4GHz Radio Controlled Aircraft for Beginners & Adults (White)

If your looking for a beginners plane for your kid or grand child look no further this is the one ! My grandson who just turned 12 was flying this thing in "beginners mode" like a champ the very first time. Granted he's experienced flying drones but this is a whole different animal. The plane is very light and sturdy. The motor is in the back instead of the nose so its protected from nose dives and busted propellers however he didn't nose dive once with the gyro stabilization which keeps the plane flying level and straight when your not turning, climbing or diving. It comes with 2 batteries and depending upon how you fly the battery can last longer or shorter because you can control the speed of the motor which besides saving battery life it also gives a beginner more control over the plane. You can fly slower and have more time to correct mistakes and learn. As you get better you can fly faster but of course that means using more battery power. It’s fun to get the plane up to 300 feet or so, cut the engine and let it glide back down nice and slow. The battery can last for about 15 to 20 minutes, again depending upon how fast you fly and for how long. The battery takes only about a half hr to charge. I bought 2 extra batteries and two extra charging cables so he can fly for over an hour and he can charge 3 out of the 4 batteries at once. The best time to fly is low wind conditions 5-7 mph or ideally no wind. This plane is extremely light so it doesn't take much wind to effect it. Early evening when the sun is going down the wind is usually dying down or some days when its over cast its calm all day. The day my grandson flew his for the first time the wind was about 5-7 mph and he did fine. We were on a 3 diamond baseball field surrounded by trees. He kept the plane lower to the ground so it was less effected by the wind. Later that day we went back at 6:00 pm when the wind was almost nonexistent and the plane flew much more smoothly and we could climb higher. Get this plane its fun for everybody !

This is the best rc plane for your money on amazon. It’s a pusher prop plane so if you land the plane on the nose you won’t break your propeller and engine. It’s fast so you need a large place to fly around in like a soccer field without too many trees because you have to be able to see it while you’re flying. Also you don’t want to lose it or crash in a tree already. We bought extra batteries and a charger. The charger and batteries that came with it aren’t the greatest, and it’s cheap to buy a 5 pack of batteries and it comes with the charger that can charge all 5 at once for faster charging. The plane flies well, it helps if you have someone to throw it for you for take off. There’s three modes: beginner, intermediate, or expert. Basically they progressively turn off functions of the gyroscope and allow you to do stunts. Being in intermediate or expert mode you should only try if there’s basically no wind. Probably don’t fly the plane at all if the wind speed is 10mph or more. The plane has 4 channels which is an important feature for an rc plane. Planes that don’t have 4 channels can’t fly as well and are unable to roll. This plane’s 4 channels control pitch, yaw, roll, and throttle. If you want a plane that you’ll be able to keep using, and you can buy spare parts if it breaks, this is a very good buy.

What can I say. Very fun 15 mins. Plane controls well, had a lot of fun flying it until it got jist a little far downwind and controls stopped working. Watched it fly away and away and away with no chance of finding it. Im still giving 4 stars because until it went bye bye rhat was really fun. But one star removed because i do believe I lost control while still relatively close. Was it worth $120 for 15 mins, mayne not but still a great little plane. Would buy another of I could afford it.

THIS is a plane for all beginners. I will say this is my third plane and I had three successful flights. I was a bit skeptical after watching videos about which planes were great for beginners, and testing and badly damaging the first two.The first plane was very light, which turned into a fight in 5 mph wind and not being able to land in the field that I was flying, but instead landing in the road and having someone run over it.The second plane was very big, it had big wheels, I could fly that thing well in pretty high winds, had one successful flight in 20 mph gusts. Until one day during takeoff i nose dived into the ground.The reason these two stories are important in because my maiden flight with this plane was the best of both of my first two planes. This plane was a little difficult to fly in the 10 mph winds, but I still maintained control of it, even though it is as light as the first plane. I got a LOT of altitude, which was a bit scary if I’m being honest (the higher it goes the higher the winds). I was able to cut it into the wind and then the scary part..... I had to nose it down to bring it in closer for my preparation for landing. The most awesome thing happened though, I did NOT have to pull back to get it level! It leveled out perfectly as soon as I put it back center. I had three successful flights, with a little wind, it was awesome to allow the glide effect and just enjoy the flight time.I recommend THIS for anyone’s first plane. You can tell the durability from others like it, and it definitely has a forgiving flight stability that allows the beginners to understand the flight patterns.Update: i took a risk in 15-20 mph gusts, I would not suggest doing such a thing for beginners, the plane was all over the place, I thought that I was going to lose the plane at one point but was able to recover. Had the battery entered into low power mode, I most like would have lost it. However I was able to make a pretty rough landing. The plane is fine, I did get it back in the house in one piece. VERY durable, even after wrecking into a tree. VERY worth the money to learn how to fly.My experience level is now 20 full hours of flight.UPDATE 2: I have flown this for more than 80 hours now. Probably going to need to get some battery replacements at this point. I’m not getting the 15 minutes of flight any longer. It’s more around 10 minutes on two of them, I’m not sure if the third battery is ever getting charged. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. But this plane has definitely served THE purpose. It has taught me a great deal about flying. I’m now waiting on a larger scale of this model of plane. It’s still in great working order and I’m still as pleased as I was with the maiden flight. I’m moving up to a 1400mm model that seems to be the next step. Although I’m very shocked at how well this particular model can do tricks (inverted flight for a few seconds , sort of air stalls, loops, etc.) it still lacks maneuvers because of the lack of ailerons. Again, I’m going to keep this running until the rudder falls off, it’s such a fun little plane that is so durable and is easy to fly in 25 mph wind (for the more advanced flyer). I’m now ready to move on to the knife edge, air stalls, snaps and other such tricks.

Flew great for 30 seconds then shut off. Batteries tested good. Plugged in again all controls worked throttle up propeller it ran for 30 seconds then shut off.???? No good has issues.My other volentec running strong after 2 years.
