Customer Reviews

This is a beginner's RC plane. It was designed particularly for that objective. I bought it for my son, who is new to RC.
It came with a defective engine, so I contaced the manufacturer and they told me to send it back. I did. They fixed it - no hassles, just really good solid customer service.
Once it was fixed, it flew like a dream. This is the most forgiving, very easy trainer imaginable. First, check out the manufacturer's site and watch the couple of brief instructional videos. They are rather a assist. The plane practically flies itself, controls are straightforward to manage with a low res setting for accurate newbies. The plane is so light that as lengthy as you fly in a park more than grass, you will in all probability sustain little if any crash damage.
Of course, being that light makes it suitable for only the lightest of wind. In a light breeze you can fly this into the wind and hold it virtually motionless. Also, it is 3 channel - throttle, rudder and elevator. No alerons, but that is ideal for a hassle-free trainer. Also, this is such a compact, light slow plane that it can be flown in smaller sized parks where a complete size RC would not be appropriate.
The battery is small but effortlessly accessible, and lasts a great ten minutes if not flown at full throttle. This is pretty basically, a awesome little plane.

I've owned two several RC planes prior to buying the Champ (to include the Commander II). This factor is the most entertaining I've had with a "toy" in so long. It doesn't take extended before you can really grow to be a pilot. Manuevering is quick and responsive. You can acquire altitude promptly so be careful on a windy day...you may well shed it! 1 of the ideal parts about owning the champ is that as soon as you get moderately proficient at flying you can fly in some fairly tight spaces. Being that it is a micro plane, it will take some harm also.
So far I have modified the wheels with some bigger soft wheels to assist landings in rough terrain or gravel...and it was straightforward. Just pop the wheel retainers off and switch them out.
No matter if you are an RC hobby enthusiast or new to it all...you will not be disappointed by this acquire.
