Top Race RC Plane – 4-Channel Remote Control Airplane for Adults and Advanced Kids – 20-Inch Wing Span, Stunt Flying with 6-Axis Gyro Stabilizer – Ready to Fly with Spare Propellers, Easy to Control

Great park flyer for begginner to intermediate level
Got this for my 11 yo son as a replacement for a 3-channel simpler plane which started falling apart after meeting the ground a few too many times.It has everything to start playing (RTF means ready-to-fly). It comes in a box in which you can carry it when you go to the field. It has one battery which lasts a few minutes, you can buy more if you want. The charger is USB and can only charge one battery.It is small enough that you can fly it on a football/baseball field. My backyard is not big enough though. My understanding that you don’t have to be a member of AMA to be able to fly this (I think you do if you have much larger planes). It is sensitive to the wind but you can fly it as long as wind is not too strong; it’s funny how you can make it stay still (relative to the ground) when flying against the wind.This plane has 4 RC channels: throttle; elevators (on the tail allowing you to raise or dip the nose), ailerons (on the wings to make it roll left or right and make the plane turn) and the rudder (on the tail making the nose move left or right to help with the turn).Having controlled ailerons allows you to make aileron roll (which turns out is different from barrel roll!) so you can’t do that with 3-channel planes.The controls are very user-friendly, they offer 3 levels of complexity, there’s a switch on the side of the controller. The simplest one is the most stable one but doesn’t allow you to maneuver too much. So you can just make it ascend or descend and make very wide turns. Next one allows for more control of the plane while still providing some stabilization (the plane has sensors and a microcontroller onboard which makes adjustments to the appropriate control surfaces to keep the thing level). The most advanced level gives you full control over the thing and you can move control surfaces to the max.My son usually uses level 2, I used level 3 a few times and almost wrecked it so try to stick to level 2.I would say that this can even be a 1st RC plane, but you can also opt for a simpler and a cheaper one. This is the 3rd RC plane I own, I wrecked the 1st one very quickly and 2nd one is pretty badly damaged after all the falls. So it’s probably better if this nicer plane is not your 1st.Its propeller snaps onto the motor so that if it smashes into the ground too hard, it comes off instead of breaking. I don’t know if it helps or not, never had the propeller break before, but did lose one when it came off after hard landing and we couldn’t find it in the grass. The toy comes with 2 spare propellers though.It is much more sturdy than it looks and feels, mostly because it doesn’t fly very fast and we always fly it on a field so when it falls it’s on the grass which provides a cushion. Still, after 1+ years, as my son got carried away with trying to do an immelmann, he slammed it into the ground at full speed and the wing completely broke. I will try to to repair it or even get a replacement wing, but I also ordered a new plane from the same company, P51, with similar controls but a bit faster and more difficult to control.

Good little starter RC plane
Bought this for my husband so I’ll let him carry on from here…To begin with the supplier, Dollar Deal, got the plane and extra batteries to me quicker than expected. I’m a first time flyer so didn’t want to spend a lot of money on an RC plane in case things didn’t work out. After watching several videos of the twin (Volantex Sport Cub 500), I decided to go with the Top Race TR-C385 ’cause it was on sale :-). My first time out I tested the safety prop feature (tree x 2) and the ability to repair the plane with hot glue (tree with many branches). The plane is pretty durable. After finding a more open field I finally settled down and have enjoyed the plane very much. It is fast, easy to control and have been able to do flips and rolls without difficulty (I’ve read that some have had problems with rolls). Where I live here in the NW I have to land on grass so I’ve made skis for my wheels and hope they will skid on the grass without any problem. Speaking of the landing gear, my only issue is that I wish the landing gear was bit sturdier. Otherwise I look forward to improving my flying skills on this neat little plane. Oh, and like other reviewers have mentioned, don’t forget to put your name and phone number on the plane, just in case…

Aereo molto bello facile da guidare adatto ai principianti

Era un regalo para un niño de 9 slob. Nos fans Nuevo que fuera difícil para él pero no. Se lo pasa genial haciéndolo volar. Eso sí, necesita mucho espacio.
