Top Race Remote Control Airplane - RC Plane 3 Channel Battery-Powered - Radio Control Airplanes for Adults and Kids 8+ - Easter Gift Toy - Easy to Control Electric Planes with Propeller Saver

I got a similar looking trainer when I was maybe 12 years old and couldn't control the thing for the life of me. after a few very short out of control flights, it was done for.This trainer is surprisingly easy to fly. With the beginner setting, it's impossible to turn too hard. As long as you are gentle with the throttle, you will easily be able to control it. After 1 flight, I switched to intermediate and it was still pretty easy to control. I couple of flights later, I switched to advanced mid flight once I thought I had enough altitude for error and immediately did a nose dive when trying to turn. It smashed into the ground but aside from having to snap the propeller back in, it was unscathed.Aside from the wheels not really being able to turn, I was able to take off from the ground on the sand of a softball field. The first couple of tries were a little rough on takeoff, but the third takeoff was smooth and strait. I failed to nail any of my landings but I felt like I got close.The setup is super easy. I didn't even look at the instructions. Just pop the wheels in, connect the battery, load your 4 AA batteries (not included) into the controller, and you're ready to go.I didn't bother charging the battery before flying and it lasted about 10 or 15 minutes out of the box. I forgot to bring the second one with me. I'm charging them as I type this so we'll see if I can get more juice on a fresh charge.To sum it up, I think this is a great starter plane. I don't expect it to last too long but I was impressed with the ease of use and it's a lot more durable than it looks. And successfully taking off from the ground was an added bonus that I certainly wasn't expecting after reading some of the reviews. I had so much fun that I may upgrade to a more advanced plane after this one dies. I would definitely start with this one though.

Great plane flies in total control. It flies like warbirds series that are only 400mm this is 500 so it flies more stable but the roll rate is slow so make sure you have some altitude or you’ll roll nose first in the ground. I give it 5 stars only thing mine didn’t give me low voltage tone it just slows down or the motor just stops but I was able to Glide it down with out any power and it didn’t stall it just floats on down. This is a true park flyer small soccer fields base ball fields and parks it perfect

Great little starter plane, easy to fly in all the stabilization modes. With no wind, turning off the stabilization enables some great aerobatics and shows some good flying characteristics.Props have a tendency to pop off with the smallest of prop strikes, so if you flip while landing you'll have to walk out and find where the prop went.Landing gear leaves something to be desired, main wheels are not placed far enough forward of the CG and the plane has a tendency to flip at touchdown as a result. Best bet is to either put bigger wheels on it or to make your own landing gear.All in all, great little starter for those new to the hobby.

My initial impression was I expected the aircraft to be larger. Not by a lot, but the aircraft is fantastic anyways. I recommend getting two or three batteries so you can stay out longer and have less waiting time in between flights. They're not difficult to swap in or out. Also this kit comes with 3 propellers that pop-off in collisions. This is a safety feature prevent the propeller from breaking... but you have to find it after recovering the craft. I wish they had brighter colored propellers. Thus far I have broken 2 and lost 4. Which means you should also consider immediately purchasing replacements (which I looked for at local shops to no avail) and order from Amazon.The controller has three modes for controlling the aircraft. I was unsure about the feature initially, but the physics and design of the whole aircraft comes together perfectly. It took some practice and I was able to fly confidently in Beginner mode. It's a setting on the controller that won't allow you to over-correct or turn too hard in one dimension or another. I experimented with beginner mode for a bit and it was limiting, but fun. I prefer to keep the throttle around 30-40% for a slower and longer flight to enjoy the skies. I also tried the auto features such as roll and loop which work excellent. I would not recommend an attempt in strong wind though(10-20+mph, head on). But it does generally handle the breeze quite well.The pilot will immediately know the difference between beginner and intermediate once you toggle the switch. It turns very hard, responds sharply, and can sometimes feel discombobulating as it maneuvers in intermediate control. When you relax on the controls the gyro stabilizes the aircraft by leveling the wings, allowing you to throw the craft into a fit of fury and come out the end flying straight and lofty into the open air.The final setting is Advanced mode where there is no assistance. The the comfortingly smooth flights from before no longer exist. No gyro or computer holds your hand. It requires a very delicate touch to fly smoothly, too much and "upside down" is only one position in a million you've potentially placed your craft into.
