VOLANTEXRC RC Plane Trainer Sport Cub 4CH Remote Control Airplane with Prop Saver, 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer & 3 Modes to Fly, Radio Controlled Aircraft RTF for Beginners, Kids and Adults (500mm,Blue)

This is the first RC plane I've ever owned and it is SO MUCH FUN!!!! There are 3 modes: Beginner (pull upper-right side switch towards you), Intermediate, and Advanced (push upper-right side switch away from you). Beginner mode makes jumping into this hobby a breeze. The stability control system keeps the plane steady and makes it extremely user friendly for ALL! I found myself in intermediate mode after 20 minutes in beginner. After another 2 hours and a couple crashes I am now operating in Advanced mode which is challenging. The stability system in this mode is turned off and so the flight controls are very responsive, making the plane incredibly acrobatic.This plane can take a beating! I've nosed dived into the ground, crashed into a tree, landed it in a swamp, and it's still going like new. Although I've had to reinforced parts of it with super glue and duct tape. It is so light and glides so well that the flight time between both batteries will easily last 45 minutes. And it charges in less than an hour! I can't recommend this enough. Right out of the box you'll be flying this thing in a matter of minutes.UPDATE (7/25/20)Just nosed dived into the sandy part of a baseball field and the nose snapped right off but all the flight controls and throttle are still operable! I’ve been repairing the aircraft with epoxy resin and have experienced no degradation in flight performance. MUST HAVE!!!!

I bought this plane last year. I've wanted once since I was a kid and finally got around to buying one. The gyroscopic stabilizer is great. Beginner is pretty fail proof, intermediate allows you to do some tricks and fly tighter turns while still being forgiving. Expert is hard, but I'm also no pro. The ailerons are a huge factor in making this great. A friend bought one without them and it's much less fun.Something to note, I have flyed a lot and gotten pretty good, but I have crashed mine probably 50 times flying in too small of an area in my backyard, a few at full speed. It held up very well and I was surprised how long it lasted before a crack. After many many head on collisions it did eventually crack the foam in the nose, but was easily repaired with some clear gorilla glue. Still flies great after the repair. If your more careful than me and fly in fields I would not be surprised if it never breaks.The prop is pretty durable and pops off if crashed. This is good since the prop won't break. The downside is it can be easy to loose them. I've debated spray painting one high visibility orange to make it easier to find.

I purchased this for my grandchildren, 9 and 12 years old. They have a lot of fun with it. It is hard for them to control and has suffered multiple hard crashes. The nose cracked after one particularly hard crash (picture). I used super glue to repair. After a few more hard crashes, the nose broke again about half an inch from the first repair. This time I used epoxy and reinforced the repair with a lamination of cloth. While it is difficult for the young ones to control, it has been well worth the money for the experience and fun they have had.Disclaimer: I have no previous experience with RC aircraft.Added Info: After several sessions the 12 y.o. has done loops and vertical stalls, the 9 y.o. is able to make extended flights and land without hard crashes. Excellent beginner aircraft.

Even though this plane is made of styrofoam, it's pretty durable! My dad bought one of these and on his first flight crashed it into a light post, and it didn't take much damage at all. Later on, he found he was losing control of his plane when he flew it, possibly something wrong with the electronics. But he sent it back and got a replacement at no charge! The different flight modes make this much more fun and easy to fly than it would be otherwise. This plane takes off within just a few feet and climbs great. The expert mode is really fun, although I generally only use it when the plane is at least 100 feet in the air. I often lose control in expert mode since I'm not too experienced, so this plane should have crashed dozens of times if it weren't for the different difficulty modes. I simply switch back to beginner mode and it straightens out of its tailspin or nose dive or whatever, which makes me more comfortable trying out complex aerobatics and risky maneuvers (as long as the plane is high enough). Anyway, this is an absolute joy to fly and has really helped break the monotony of quarantine. My dad and I often fly together. We make sure we pair our planes when they're both on the ground, though. Every once in a while, one controller pairs to both planes, so we always make sure our controllers are paired to the correct planes before taking off. I would recommend this plane to anyone!

Bought this to fly with my 9 year old and 11 year old. Even in mild wind it’s difficult to fly. The beginner mode and gyro help a lot but we crashed alot more than we flew. It is a tuff plane though. Battery life is ok. Think I over paid…
