RC Plane 4CH RC Airplane Upgrade Spitefire V2 Fighter Remote Control Airplanes RTF Ready to Fly Sport Toy for Beginners Adult with Xpilot Stabilization System & One Key Aerobatic

Two minutes into the first flight and I knew this Ranger was the right choice for me to get into RC planes.My son and brother both recently got into flying but their planes have to maintain a pretty high speed to stay aloft which made me nervous to learn on.This thing can cruise slowly which makes learning to fly much easier. I had it in beginner mode which makes the plane level off automatically if you let off the steering, but can also perform acrobatics in the moderate and advance settings.After going through both batteries over about 40 minutes of flying I feel like an experienced and confident flyer.The plane is built to take falls and it could likely hit a person directly at full speed without injury. Its not at all intimidating and needs a small space to fly in. The rear-mounted propeller is so helpfull when landing, no prop damage like a typical plane. So FUN!

My Son absolutely loved this! You better be educated on the flying part BECAUSE it FLYS!!!!! It’s hard to see once it’s up there with the clouds lol but no really it’s Great but you need to be experienced!

I’m a semi-experienced RC pilot, and bought the Volantex Spitfire on semi-impulse. I love the appearance of the Spitfire, and it’s place in history - “Never have so many owed so much to so few,” is the of debt gratitude owed to the Spitfire pilots by the people of UK.So, it’s a sentimental plane for me, and I wanted it to work. And it does! Out of the box it flew fine in beginner and intermediate modes, but in the expected “driving” mode where stick displacement must be held to maintain bank or pitch attitude. A little up elevator while banked makes it turn on a dime, and leave 5 cent’s change. The stunt button works amazingly well, but it’s very hands-off. The plane is doing the flying.At full throttle in level flight in either assisted mode, it oscillated in the roll axis indicating too much gyro gain on the aileron channel. The simple fix was to move the aileron pushrods from the middle to the outer hole in the control horns (see photo). This reduces aileron authority, effectively reducing gyro gain. Roll axis oscillation was almost completely eliminated after this adjustment.Flipping it into “expert” mode caused immediate pilot panic. The plane shot straight up. Thankfully, flipping the switch back to intermediate made it “straighten up and fly right” (any more WWII references and I’ll have to pay royalties).However, I really wanted to fly it myself, rather than have it fly itself. The problem is that the center of gravity (CG) is too far back. I moved it forward by putting four 3/4” wire brads in the motor compartment. The motor hatch is on the underside of the nose. Insert a broad flat screwdriver or the corner of a credit card into the seam in front of the battery hatch to pry off the foam compartment cover (more like e plug, really). The foam will temporarily compress adequately to remove it without damage. Prying from the propeller side of the compartment would probably damage the foam of the plug. Re-insert the plug by putting the propeller edge in first, and compress the battery edge enough to pop it back in place.The wire brads work well as ballast, since you can add them one at a time, and they stick to the motor by magnetic attraction. Four seemed about right for my plane, others may vary due to sample variance in paint thickness or foam density. The is a tiny model, and small changes in weight can make huge differences in handling.With the CG shifted adequately forward, in level flight the model can be switched to unassisted flight with no change in attitude. It then becomes super responsive to control inputs, so you’ll need to develop a gentle touch while you become familiar with the “real” Spitfire. The assisted modes are available at the flip of a switch to bail you out of imminent crashes.In full manual mode, I have learned to make it do split S’s, rolls, loops, and once I managed a sloppy Cuban Eight. There doesn’t seem to be enough rudder authority for hammer heads, and inverted flight will stay out of reach until I have mastered it on a less sensitive, larger model.If you’re flying on grass (recommend for crash protection), don’t bother with the landing gear. I had several damage-free “CFIT” incidents (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) before planting it VERY solidly nose-first, which snapped the nose. A field repair with a small hot glue gun had me flying again in 15 minutes. Hot glue will add weight quickly, which is critical on a tiny model. If you’re patient, foam cement will make better repairs and add less weight per crash.So in summary, this model exceeded my expectations after the minor modifications described above. It’s beautiful to look at stationary, and even more so in flight. It flies a long time on one battery (I’d guess at least 10 minutes, but I didn’t time it). Get a handful of extra batteries and fly it all afternoon.

Thing is bad ass

It flies terrible it advanced mode. It reacts to sharp and quickly; you have to be on top of it every second. It's nice to be able to relax when you fly. This seems to be a common problem with the small war planes. I have two of them. One nice thing is you do have rudder control in beginner mode on the Corsair. Some of the other war planes do not, like the yellow A10 and A28. They are fun to fly but I would not recommend them for beginner pilots. Get an above the fuselage wing to start out. Oh, it can handle numerous hard crashes which is awesome due to haw squirrely it flies.

I liked how it got here on the day that it was supposed to. But I did not like how when I tossed the plane in the air. It just went out of service and couldn’t connect to the controller so the plane just kept flying farther and farther away. If I could, I would get my money back and never look back at this company again it is supposed to be rated good but it’s not.

Surprising what about 100 bucks can get you these days. Compares favorably with the ParkZone (RIP) P-51 I've had for years, but comes with a fancy gyro that makes flying easy even on breezy days. The gyro has a few modes that lets you adjust flight characteristics to your skill level. The pop-off prop is a great feature.

I can test to it by accident done crashing into two trees done crashed it to The ground a few times it's still just keeps flying you just about to propel the back on it check the flaps and she just takes right back off flies all around it's a tough well built a little airplane for the price and I've recommended for anybody that a beginner like me to start out with RC plane as be the one to start out with it's a nice little airplane and it's worth the money is it's very very well built and like I said I'd buy another one if I had to but this one's been a tough little airplane
