  • Easy to fly, fun!
Color: Sport Cub
This little plane is amazing for the price. 10 years ago this would have been crazy expensive, and this tech wasn't mature enough to be viable....they had tiny RC planes, but they were difficult to fly for your average pilot. The beginner mode and intermediate mode work very well and make flying this little plane a breeze. Any one who knows the basics of flying can fly in beginning mode. I flew it on expert for a little bit, to do some aerobatics, I don't recommend it unless you are VERY experienced. It was really squirrely in expert mode and can get out of hand in hurry, and the wind even a little bit can really mess you up. I have only flown this plane 3 times, once in my front yard, twice in my alley behind my house using the dirt road as a run way. It needs to have a smooth runway or it will nose over. The wheels are very small. I took it off in a track I made with my truck tire and that worked fine, but I wasn't precise enough to land it in the track for both flights back there and it nosed over on the landing from the bumpy road, it landed fine on the black top on the street in front of my house. The good news is NO Damage. I also dropped it from shoulder height while removing the battery, also no damage. The flight times are very long, I didn't notice any decrease in power before I landed and was up each time for several minutes, I didn't time it but it felt like I was flying for a while. Half throttle is more than enough power for normal flying, it still gains altitude even slightly below half throttle. To sum it all up, I highly recommend this plane to any one who knows the basics of flying RC. ... show more

  • Great value. Be patient before first flight
Color: Blue
Be patient before flying. Take time to understand the controls and how the plane is trimmed out through the controller. Test gliding is a must before powered flight. 6-axis stabilization system should basically bring the test Glide in on a soft Landing pattern. Do not fly in heavy rain until you're confident and familiar with this planes capability and how to control. If not, chances are you'll lose it or put it up in a tree or on top of the building. This plane is very responsive and flies extremely well. However you do need to be able to control it. Extremely durable. A great buy for a beginner. Just be smart and have plenty of room more than you think ... show more

  • This is a My First Airplane only! - but a very decent My First Airplane
Color: Ranger 600
Images on Amazon of this product depict ailerons. The airframe is clearly designed for aileron servos and control linkages. The box even looks like it's designed for something with aelerons. The power train with gyro stabilization and tramsmitter come in similar sized airframes with 4 channels for the same price point. So discovering that this model was 3 channel in the initial unboxing was quite disappointing. However, this Ranger 600 3 -channel is quite appropriate for a 1st time flyer. Out of the 3 different models in this..."category" that I have flown (400mm P -51, 500mm Supercub, 600mm Ranger; all 1S lipo powered gyro stab RTFs) it is the only one whose "expert" flying mode is comfortable. "Expert" mode on these things simply means "gyro off" I.E. regular DIY flying. The Cub and the P -51 are so small and light that the gyro is kind of necessary if there is any air movement at all. This thing, however, is actually completely flyable with no gyro. The upshot is that, although I personally was less than enamoured with this model because it was not exactly what I thought I was going to get, and I personally don't need a "my 1st RC airplane", I can confidently say that this would be an excellent choice for someone who wants to find out if RC flying is for them. Out of these Top Flight/Volantex/Eachine single cell lipo gyro stab planes that I have tried, this is the one that goes from training wheels to no training wheels with ease; making it a great confidence builder to get to a hobby grade aircraft. Out of the 3 I have tried, this one is the least fun to fly for my son and I, but - again - we werent looking for a 1st plane, we were looking for more planes. Also worth noting that this Ranger's glide characteristics are far less..."glider-y" than the larger models with the same moniker and form. This turns out to be a good thing as the radio range on these planes is not great, there is no failsafe on the receiver, and the thing weighs 55g - less than 2 oz! - in the air, so catching thermals with it would not be a good way to continue owning the plane. If you already have RC experience, you will find this plane quite lackluster. If you have never done this before, you will find this plane to be a great introduction to the hobby. ... show more

  • Great Park Flyer
Color: Ranger 600
I've had 2 other airplanes almost exactly like this called The Sky Cruiser of which they no longer produce. Since I couldn't get another Sky Cruiser I settled for what I thought would be a cheap knock off. The wings of the Volantex are not removable. The con being the storage box is kind of bulky. The pro is the wings can not come off in flight. (The cause of death of my last airplane.) I didn't expect much from this plane but figured it's under 100 bucks so it's worth a shot. Well this plane flew perfect right out of the box. No trim needed to be added so I didn't have to tweak the flight control push rods at all. My other planes also needed weight to be added ( 2 nickels taped in the nose.) I flew this plane on a day with a bit of wind so I only did several short flights so I didn't push my luck. The plane only has rudder and elevator so it doesn't turn on a dime. So be sure you have room for a wide turn. Power off it has an excellent glide ratio. The plane is made of a very durable foam, so it will take a licking. The nose hatch is also foam rather than plastic and is a bit cumbersome to remove, but once you get the hang of it it's not bad. It's also supposed to have an auto return function which is not mentioned in the instructions at all. Speaking of the instructions, they are not the best. I really wish Chinese manufactures would at least have people with good English skills write for them. The transmitter has 3 modes of gyro assist Beginner, Intermediate and expert so I would say this would be an excellent first airplane. Over all, even with some of my gripes, this is hands down the best park flyer I've ever flown. ... show more
