Engineered with a realistic 500mm wingspan and the legendary XPilot Stabilization System, this park flyer offers the perfect blend of hobby-grade control and highly crash-resistant fun.

"Its a great product at this price"
Excellent for beginners , flys
"Excellent for beginners , flys great!"
Sport Cub
"Great starter plane. . . I enjoy flying this plane first then move on to my bigger place es."
Super Easy to Fly
"And a lot of fun. If you're on the fence, just buy it already. The foam is surprisingly durable, but get extra propellers and landing gears. Try to make sure the throttle is off if you're about to crash and it will probably be fine. It comes with two batteries, they last about 10 minutes each flying, which seems like a long time when flying. Excellent value for the money. I'll probably buy a more advanced model later!"

Fun easy flying plane.
"This is a great flying plane straight out the box. The 6 Axis Gyro makes the plane very stable in fact I rarely take it out of full gryo mode. It will fly slow if that's what you like and quite fast as well. I'm more of a cruise around flyer and get a solid 15 minutes per battery. "See photos" I added the black water based craft paint on the underside just rough the surface with a light sand paper it helps for plane orientation when your flying high. Added popsicle sticks to the landing gear, and yellow to the prop. I mostly hand launch the plane but it will take off on a relatively smooth surface. It's best to fly in little to no wind as in 5 mph or less. I would purchase this plane again it's great fun at a reasonable price."
Easy to fly
"Great plane, fun to fly! My son really liked the one touch stunts 😎👍🏼"

- Does the transmitter have a range warning signal?
- Hi Jeremy, This depends on the model of plane that you are holding as well. If the receiver doesn't have signal lost warning function, it's meaningless for the transmitter to have such function.
