  • Why pay more for the same features when you can get an Autel x-star premimum drone!

    This is the fourth Autel x-star premium that I have purchased. 1 for myself and one for each of my nephews. This drone provides outstanding video and stills using a 4K camera. it is extremely easy to use without a great deal of learning or flight time. those who have watched it fly were amazed and many asked where they can get one. It is a great deal for the price as it is comparable to drones which cost twice as much.

  • Easy to fly - lots of fun.

    This plane is a great set-up for the beginning pilot. It is easy to fly. My best advice is to stay in wide-open spaces so you don't park it in a tree. It weighs almost nothing so if it gets hung up in a tree it is very hard to get down. Trust me. Keep a soccer ball handy - that his how I retrieved mine. But, wow what a fun thing to fly. The panic button will instantly stabilize the plane and it is fun to do stunts in advance mode and then switch it right back to beginner so you don't pile it into the ground. My unit has sustained several crashes - sometimes with no damage, sometimes with damage requiring epoxy to get it back in the air. If you hit hard on the nose, it sometimes dislodges the motor (easy to epoxy). A nose-in can also dislodge the propeller shaft gear (the bigger one) from the motor gear. A simple push with a ball-point pen will slide the propeller shaft gear back into place. I also bought floats for my unit which I do not recommend. The plane cannot handle ANY water splashing on it. Mine got a tiny bit of water inside the cabin (where the electronics are) and I thought I had ruined it. After a day of drying, it coughed back to life but I think I was lucky. I have since coated the electronics with dielectric grease to keep out moisture but I have not ventured back out on the water. I left the floats on however and actually hand launch it and land it in the grass with the floats. I would recommend this plane to anyone. It is a blast to fly and makes even a mediocre pilot like me feel like a pro.

  • Sport Cub S

    Very easy to fly right out of the box. The 3 flight modes are a great way to learn how to fly. Beginner mode will keep you from making a flight mistake and putting the plane into the ground. Once comfortable with beginner mode, easily switch to intermediate mode to be more daring. When ready, advanced mode is a fast, no holds-barred acrobatic flight. You can switch between modes while flying with the flip of a switch. The best part about this plane is the panic button. If the plane gets too wild, push and hold the panic button and the plane will right itself, flying straight and level with a slight nose up attitude. This plane does get blown all over the place in small winds so calm days are a must. Great product and a lot of fun. If you already have a controller, you can buy just the plane and save $30.

  • Easy and fun to fly but the battery connection is very poor as well as the velcro.

    I like the plane and it is easy and fun to fly with in a light wind but the battery hookup is very poor and easily put in wrong. There doesn't seem to be any diode protection if it is hooked up backwards. Sometimes it will just get the battery hot and bend the 2 very small connector pins which happened to me. The last time I got it hooked up wrong the battery connectors were ruined and the plane connector was fried. I soldered a new plane connector in but it had ruined one of the servos which would only work in one direction. The servos are part of the esc so it is very expensive to replace the whole board. If the connectors were a different to make it impossible to hook up backwards it would solve this problem. The Velcro that holds the battery in is to weak so I replaced mine. It probably is the easiest plane to teach yourself to fly so I would still recommend it.I actually own 2 of them and have binded them to the same transmitter.

  • Sport Cub review

    The plane is easy to fly in beginner mode and very maneuverable in experienced mode. It recovers nicely in panic mode. I have not crashed it yet but it seems very durable. A very good choice for first RC plane.

  • Micro size....MEGA- fun!

    This Kit/combo is incredible...... small but not too small ( 24" + wing ) and with features usually only found on much larger planes, it flies like a much bigger model. I hadn't flown RC in quite some time but this models features allowed me to start in an "easy" mode and get comfortable flying and then switch to a very snappy and aggressive mode as I gained my confidence back. This plane literally flies great right out of the box..... with a quick charge and some minor and easy trim adjustments in flight, I was quickly feeling comfortable in the air with it. I would recommend this model to ANYONE thinking about learning to fly RC or just get back into it . My 12 year old daughter has never flown RC and was able to move it around the field with ease after a little instruction. I was skeptical about this models size and weight but I have to admit it is GIANT ball of fun...forgiving and durable and so far trouble free. I've flown it quite a few times ...in open fields ( on a calm day...a must, as it is very light!) and in a fairly tight tree lined yard....no problems either way because it has plenty of power ( and ailerons!) and can be flown just as easily slow or fast . Best of all...the combo gives you 3 batteries- and trust me, you'll love being able to use them all each time you fly this awesome plane.

  • Definitely for beginners

    This is a neat little plane. I bought it as a travel plane cause I do a lot for of traveling and don’t want to be away from flying for too long. I had to set this up with full rates to do anything more than fly in a circle. Should be great to expose the kids to RC planes.

  • Great trainer very bad battery connector barely holds battery.

    I bought this plane to teach my grandson how to fly, I myself have 3 other much bigger planes that are not for beginners all have wing spans of over 50 inches anyway I ordered 12 more batteries and only 3 batteries barely stay connected, my finger tips are sore from trying push the battery and the planes connector together this connecter is garbage and needs to be redesigned or replaced with something better, other than that it's a great trainer.

  • This is the plane for learning RC flying.

    I dearly wish I had this plane when I was learning to fly RC. Back in the day it took three airplanes to learn. Some pilots even more. With the 'SAFE' self leveling technology in this plane it takes the worry out of learning to fly. The plane will virtually land it self if you shut down the throttle. Just don't fly it outdoors in the wind and it will treat you right. It flies very slowly and if the throttle is kept at about 1/2 it is very predictable. The plane really does not like to be flown at full throttle. Good for indoor flying in a large gym with some practice. The best part is that your are learning on a full 4 channel airplane which is a good thing. With the three settings for the gyros it will grow with you as your skills become better. Even after you know how to fly it is a great plane just to do some relaxing flying with. Great little airplane and Horizon's customer service is second to none. Parts are available from them on their web site but you should only need batteries. This plane can be bound to any Spektrum transmitter that is DSMX or DSM2. the plane will fly much better on a Spektrum DX6I or higher transmitter. I happen to have mine on a DX9 and it MUCH better than the factory RTF one.
