VOLANTEXRC RC Plane 3 Channel Remote Control Plane Fighter Spitfire with 6-axis Gyro, 2.4GHz RTF Radio Controlled Aircraft Easy to Fly for Beginners Boys Adults Kids (76205 RTF)

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.

A nice RC airplane to start off with, but the landing wheels leave a lot to be desired, broke them off several times landing on flat surfaces. They need to get more integrity where connects to the plane, had to superglue them on several times.

This plane is so light and durable!! The one thing is the back wheel falls off very easily and you have to tape it on or replace it. Ours fell off and was never seen again. The design is perfect because the propellers are positioned in a way that protects them from crashes. It is super easy to fly and is so so fun!! It does what it’s supposed to and you have fun doing it!! It is a perfect RC plane for beginners!!

I took my son out to test flight this in a open field on Christmas day. We went through all precautions and when the plane took off, I was like, "Wow it flies pretty well!" It had a good amount of power and worked pretty well..at first. However, my son told me, while he was flying it, the propeller had seemed to stop mid air, while it was still climbing, so he banked left to turn it around and help it glide for a soft landing. He glided its way down to a soft landing and ran over to it. The propeller had popped off but it was an easy fix! We put it back on but the propeller was not spinning and we thought it was jammed. We look into the motor and found it fine, it just wasn't spinning. My son then said, "Hey, is that smoke!?" Pointing at the battery cabin. I said it was probably our breaths from the cold, but we started smelling something like burnt wires and stuff and quickly opened the cabin. We saw the battery slightly, we took it out, it was burning hot, and unplugged it quickly before it would've possibly exploded!! Just a few more seconds of looking at the plane would've gotten us to the hospital if we didn't notice. We smelled inside the aircraft as well, we found out that something burned in there as well. It barely lasted a flight and the actually motor spinner only for a few mere 8 or so seconds. It was absolutely a very heartbroken christmas.

This RC airplane is an absolute blast! As soon as I took it out of the box, I was amazed by its sleek design and sturdy build. Made of durable foam, it can withstand minor bumps and crashes. The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up, even for beginners. The flight time is impressive, and the airplane performs a variety of stunts with ease.The only minor downside is that it can be a bit windy outside, which can affect the flight stability. However, on calm days, it's a joy to fly.Overall, I highly recommend this RC airplane to anyone looking for a fun and exciting hobby. It's perfect for kids and adults alike!

This thing is sweeeeet. I have zero experience with rc aircraft but I've been wanting to buy a plane after playing midway. Easy assembly. Pop the batteries in and pop the wheels in, fire it up and ready to rip. First flight lasted 1.5 seconds haha. Hard crash, zero damage. Next two flight trippled in time, same crashes with zero damage. Within 20 minutes I was flying this thing around my yard doing loops and low slow passes close to me. What a blast! This just opened a huge hobby for me.
