LEAMBE 4 Channel RC Plane - Ready to Fly Aerobatic Aircraft, Easy Control for Beginners, F4U Corsair RC Airplane Best Gift for Kids

This is a pretty good little plane in my opinion. It flies great and it's pretty easy to do fun tricks without smashing it into the ground. Also, I definitely appreciate the option change the gyro, from having it on to being in full control of the plane. Now I'm not good at flying without the gyro yet, still need a bit of practice there but the ability to turn it on midflight to help avoid a major crash is pretty nice.BUT don't think that the gyro by itself will prevent crashing, it simply helps keep the plane level, you still have a lot of control and need to keep said control of the plane.Speaking of, I've accidentally smashed this plane into the ground real hard and real fast with it ending up with barely a scratch on it, ready to get back into the air(well after you put the prop back on). In my opinion this plane is great if you want to just have fun or practice flying rc planes without gyro assistance, it can take a hit. And if something does break(as what tends to happen in this hobby) don't let that discourage you, the fix can be as simple as foam safe super glue.One last thing, even though the booklet that comes with it suggest you don't fly in the wind(and maybe don't if you don't know anything about how flying works or you're trying to learn how to fly without gyro), you can totally take this thing into the wind, the planes motor has the power and you have more than enough authority of the control surfaces to fly through the wind with ease. Just make sure you don't let the plane get too far when it has a tailwind, and beware of gust when flying near the ground, they can be a one-way trip for your plane barreling into it.But yeah overall, really good plane!

Let me start by saying this little guy is pretty much indestructible. I've flown on beginner and mid mode. Beginner mode is very stable, but limits turning angles. Mid is perfect. It allows you to take steep turns in any direction, climb, crash, whatever have you. I've flown in places I shouldn't... I've hit powerlines, which knocked off the propeller AND seared off the tail wing. I'll also recommend clear foamless gorilla glue, which does an excellent job repairing any part of this plane. I've broken and effectively fixed the nose, a wing, tail, both landing gears, and the list is continuing to grow while accumulating hours upon hours of flight time.The only downside is that the propellers do break easily. Landing is difficult due to its light weight. I recommend buying a couple four-packs of extras. I also tried the three-blade propeller, which is much more durable, but you sacrifice some speed and it has a little difficulty fighting the wind. (Yes, I've been flying the little fella in pretty strong winds lol).The expert flight mode, I'll switch on every once in a while, lose stability, do a barrel roll, then switch back to mid for recovering before I crash. Switching between modes is quick and seamless in-flight by the way!Great purchase and when I do eventually lose it in a tree too small to climb but too high to recover, I'll be saddened but will very quickly order a replacement.Yours truly,Maverick.

I don’t want to leave a bad review because when it worked during the two times I took it out, it was great.. as far as handling goes. It’s not bad in minor wind for its size. It’s fast and zippy. Sadly, the prop saver won’t keep the prop on. You can change the piece connected to the motor, because sometimes that piece breaks, and by sometimes, I mean once per outing.. and I fly in a field with fluffy soft grass. I’ve made no hard landings. That piece is $3.99 for 2 at a hobby store. The prop is $3.99 for one. After gently changing the saver piece a couple of times, the motor no longer runs at speed and makes noise. I’m assuming it’s because of some motor damage from pulling on shaft.. WE ALL KNOW WHERE THIS THING IS MADE.. so expect thy kind of quality. The motor is not accessible and not replaceable. It’s sad that a plane that works so well has suck garbage components. I’d happily pay twice as much for top end electronics and an easily maintainable plane. Anyway.. I got it on sale for $80. That’s $40 per outing.. ouch!! I would have bought at least 3 more that I wanted really bad, until this experience. Oh well. I’ll just get a big P51 from the hobby store with retractable landing gear for $350. You def get what you pay for. Let’s hope a legit company picks up this design and gives a warranty.

The ZHIKE RC Airplane is a fantastic gift for anyone interested in remote control planes, especially for beginners and hobbyists alike! This 4-channel plane, designed with a built-in gyro, is remarkably stable and easy to fly—even for those new to RC flying. My husband found it super engaging and loved how smoothly it handled in the air, with responsive controls that make it easy to perform tricks and navigate. It’s durable enough to withstand some bumps, so it’s perfect for outdoor fun without too much worry.It’s so great that my husband has 34 of them in the basement—just for him! No kidding! If you’re looking for an entertaining and exciting way to spend time outdoors, I highly recommend this plane for both adults and kids!
