when i was a kid back in the early 60's we flew control line and freeflight planes but never got to r/c because they barely existed except for maybe adults. i always wanted to try it and this looks like a good entry level. thnx.

As someone who's always wanted to try a radio controlled model, I've got to say this looks fantastic! I'm amazed how robust it is and how well it coped with the conditions. Really encouraging. 😎

“It’s flying backwards!” and the hurricane building just off shore was a nice addition to this very much fun video….Thank you!

I apologize if it was not your intention, but I think your video is one of the funniest on the web. I laughed so loud about everything, you made my day. So much that happens, so many crashes, so many more things... I love it! Thank you!

This guy is fantastic love how its so real with no editing gr8 plane for the beginner a little too windy for a light plane

Looks like a really good model for a beginner. Classic high-wing airframe, durable, and it looks like "expert" mode actually works. LOL, newbies should fly in calmer weather!

I love the learning and crash footage! I subscribed because you don't edit out the reality of the hobby.

Not the best day perhapse but very robust model! Andrew Newton also reviewed this on a calm day and it looked the perfect model for a beginner! Well done.

At our flying field we have a rule about not flying into the fence. 😂

This little plane flew very bravely in the strong winds and proved to be very sturdy.

Remember my first flight probably the most excitement of times during my many years of model flying inc. aerobatic comps Sadly after moving to Ireland an then to here in New Zealand couldn’t find a local club so haven’t flown for the best part of 20 years but still miss it

My first plane was a warbird, a Corsair ultra micro, no gyros, I learned pretty quickly because I was in air cadets and flew gliders before. This plane looks perfect for a beginner to learn the basics on.

Great for a sports hall, would be smaller than I would recommend for outdoors.

Perfect size for a city park.

The first 3 trials to fly this little sweety were so funny! The backwards flying in the wind was astonishing! Thanks for the entertaining video from a heli guy!!

Exelent entry level plane. Give me so much confidence

You get the best practice and skills flying in strong winds.

Great stuff. I am tempted but I think I'm getting too old to run after the thing when I crash it which is inevitable. Good video fellas, informative with a bit of a giggle. Loved it.

I'm very impressed. Seriously thinking of getting one. Also a fun vid. to watch. Talk about laugh, Trev.

Looks like fun.

That is one tough plane! Too windy for sure. Thanks for the review.

Cool video! I have an identical plane but the brand/model is Qidi-560. I love that little plane!

I'm Impressed!

That's too funny! Bravo to the 'beginner' pilot for getting it off the ground 😆

Hmm, on other hand, i think classic trainers like AXN Floater or Bixler would be better for a newbie. They are large enough to be stable and motor on the back is always a plus for crash resistance. Based on personal experience.

im sorry. i really dont think this should be a first plane. i deeply recommend the cheapest plane you should get is the mini aeroscout. it can fly anywhere its not big not not super small. ive been flying for many years and i still enjoy the mini scout. if you have hte money get the big scout but the small scout is good enough! regardless i loved the video!

I like it because they are fun to play with 🎉

The nearest thing to flying an rc blue bottle 😊

To limit the chance of damaging it would it be ok to keep hold of the plane and run round the field.

That was so much fun.

I bought one of the warbirds last year as my first RC plane and it was fun while the props in the box lasted. Sadly, the replacement props from the manufacturer (costing aprox £6 a piece) would break at the slightest incident. It actually proved quite an expensive little plane considering it's total flying hours (minutes).

Hey thanks Loving it big guy

Gracias !!!

If this video was intended to show how many knocks the model could take, then it's a great video.

Smaller the plane the harder to fly. Piper Cub 10ft wingspan with 26cc petrol engine.So stable and easy to fly.

At 5:15 I think you meant to say 'stick to the left, left aileron goes up' ?

Nicely made video! This plane is exactly what I am looking for. My question is whether the radio control device is also in the package? Some RC plane manufacturers say one should use one's smartphone as remote control. But I have no smartphone.

You made my day😂

Отличное видео отличной модели.

Looks like a lot of fun but where in the UK can a beginner learn to fly. When I was at school we just went to the local park and nobody said anything and we just got on with it . However, the world has changed since my youth so do we need permits and licences etc. Silly questions I know but I quite fancy one of those planes - how much are they?

The Fence works 😂

In the USA just buy a Arrows Pioneer. Same idea but much better. Been beating on one for 3 years and solid as a rock still.

Just looked on banggood, not available for shipping to the UK

Looks like a refined version of the Volantex birds, with its bigger wheels and steering tail wheel. And now we also know where these new Hobbyzone planes come from, just rebranded from these... Missed chance that expert mode still has no gyro assist, which would make these more stable with self leveling off.

Perhaps on a less windy day! Tough little thing though.

Well that was a laugh.

My 49 year old eyes would lose this really fast being so small. Having zero experience in these i can only go off opinion when i say the small size improves the durability but increases the learning curve in flight. I'd love to see this on a day without hurricane level winds (you know, cuz it's tiny lol)

this is like a bill dance video hahah

uhmm.....not your best mate! However, TOP RC make great little newbie planes, helicopters and drones! I will agree with that statement! Happy flying!

Thank you for the video but I think I'll get a drone.😂

A tad windy for a such a light/small plane! Good demo though!

Thats Cool Thats what I need always wanted too give planes a Go , Plus were got a good Park across the road it handled going flat out Into the fence OK Witch is what I would prolly do LOL 25 min flying Time Woohoo Sign me up , Imight get one Cheers

I would have thought that it would have been more sensible taking off with the wind rather than against it.

Do you know what a cross wind is?????

Cool little plane.....you should put a blooper video up. Just for fun. 😂.

Only $120 from China! Was expecting $29.95.

This is definitely not for a beginner. It is too small to be stable and too little to see it. I will rather go with something like the Multiplex Twinstar, a model plane who can practically fly by itself.

It’s too fast for an absolute beginner. It’s too temperamental for a beginner. I love all Aircraft,they are my passion.And thought that maybe I can get something out of this hobby by getting into RC models. But if this is the best beginners aircraft model! Then it’s not for me.

the only fence in sight for 100 miles ..lmao :)

Bet you the Mehican Cartels have fleet of these flying in their products daily. They probably have kids on payroll whose only job is to fly drones and RC planes daily.

Nobody will want to buy that after watching someone that can supposedly fly struggling to get it in the air and it’s not designed to take off from the grass its little to no chance in most places

I did not like mine. It snap rolls way too easy and does not recover as advertised. The props pop off mid flight and the replacements are on backorder until November.

It needs bigger wheels for the grass takeoff.

Rüüüüüüüüüdiger!!!

What idiot put that fence there? Hilarious!. Looks like a great small plane for a calm day though.

It's easier learning with a plane of 60 inch plus wing.

Seems a bit too windy for it! It was trying to fly as soon as you got it out of the box lol

Rebranded volantex cub

Ok indoors. Get something that you can see at 100 yards first.

7:37 😁

One small barrier in allll that open area, and you managed to hit it 😅

God had to take the piss with the wind.

advance the throttle slowly for take off like in real life then you wont stuff into ground

Talk about Tom & Jerry.

And these guys are experienced!?

I want to locate and buy a transmitter and receiver for micro mini servos. Where do I find one????? It seems that the micro mini servos use way less voltage

Could you not find a spot closer to the only fence in miles :)

Doesn't make it clear whether the transmitter is included in the package.

I'm really puzzled. I've been trying to post a comment that I thought might add positively to the debate on these planes. I post it and then very soon it just isn't there any more. Are comments only being published selectively? I think I'm going to give up as its too much effort :-(

Should have waited for a windy day to fly 😉

Not the best demonstration for beginners!

Dude,you can't fly this little plane with such a strong wind.These little planes should be flown indoors or in a almost no wind day.

Couldn't you have waited for a windier day? 😂

Sounds like you damaged the gear system with that fence hit, when I hard crashed my Rarebear I got the same grinding noise.

Too much wind for such a ultra light rc plane

I think that's way too skittish a plane for a beginner. When I learned to fly RC, I did it with a much bigger slower and more stable trainer design and had an experienced pilot do the takeoff and landing until I'd learnt to steer it in circuits in the air, high enough up so the other pilot could take over if things got hairy, which they do very quickly on a novice flight, hahahahaha! It takes time to get the hang of piloting remote control, especially when it's coming towards you and the controls are effectively reversed. These days could probably do much of the training on a flight sim like the free windows one from FMS. The advantage of a tiny plane like this one is that it's more durable and the startup cost is low, but you need both of those and more because it's going to be crashing endlessly and require spare parts a lot so in the end it's probably cheaper to buy a proper trainer or even go to a club and ask for a few lessons before buying this little one 😀

waaaaaaaaay tooo windy for that small of a plane

Flying into the only structure in the area?? The fence?? 😂😂😂

Everybody has an opinion…

Was this video meant to be satire? 😂

FYI way to windy for any RC airplane !!!

I had my champ for about 4 mins total before a huge gust of wind just took it away never to be seen again, still have the remote and box and now I am in fear of losing another rc plane :(

Not for beginners like you!

Not exactly a great idea trying to make it take off into a cross wind.

This is awful, a comedy of errors. You should have quit and filmed on a calm day

What was the hurry in putting out the video? I guess what I'm trying to ask is why did you guys not wait for a calmer day? What it showed a beginner is that it is very hard to control and is going to crash over and over even though you guys are supposed to be somewhat familiar with flying RC planes.....? Imagine if that was a beginner at the controls in that kind of wind the beginner would probably never pick up another RC plane again! I personally can appreciate your honesty, but maybe you could have finished the video up another day that was calmer to show that it makes a difference what kind of wind a beginner should fly in... wasn't that the sole purpose of the video ?? Can we please get a follow-up video perhaps on a calmer day😢

😂

So English 😂

What is the point of this video?
