HorizonHobby.com Preview - ParkZone VisionAire

The ParkZone® VisionAire™ park flyer is specifically designed for sport pilots by 3D pioneer Quique Somenzini. Its wings are constructed of hollow Z-Foam™ material that has been reinforced with carbon fiber to create structures that are stiffer and lighter than solid foam. This rigid, lightweight airframe is paired with a powerful 10-size, 1250Kv brushless motor that delivers the vertical performance you need for an exhilarating 3D flying experience.
What makes the VisionAire model such a great 3D plane for sport pilots is the advanced AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization -- 3-aXis) System built into its AR635 receiver. The AS3X System works behind the scenes to counter the effects of wind and turbulence, using 3-axis sensing and flight control software tuned by Quique Somenzini. If you've never flown 3D before, this enhanced stability will give you the confidence you need to try high alpha maneuvers like harriers, hovers, torque rolls and more.
You can adjust the amount of stability the AS3X System provides or turn it off completely, but even 3D pros will find flying with it on feels completely natural. There are no delays in control response or limits on the control throws. You'll simply feel like you're flying an expertly-tuned model that goes right where you point it.
We meet with Quique Somenzini in studio to discuss the new ParkZone VisionAire. Stop in to hear what makes this model so incredible for the pilot looking to learn 3D flight!

Yes, the VisionAire supports any 4+ channel DSM2 or DSMX transmitter.

I have this plane and it makes me look like I can 3D. With the AS3X it flies like a dream. Landing is easy and it has more than enough power to go vertical with no problem. I love this plane wish I could afford the bigger one, but maybe someday.

Looking forward to the videos! I have 450! Flights on my visionaire since march this year and learned tons of stuff!!! QQ thank you sooo much! Ps: the VA has no problems after 450 flights and i take my plane apart every 10 flights on the field, beat plane so far xxx

[@warmfreeze]

This plane honestly doesn't need AS3x. it is stable enough in 3d without it in all honesty..this plane is honestly a dream come true.

Quique felicitaciones, hermoso avion buen video

[@pipeman451]

It does what you expect and then some. A good value and fun to fly

[@jaymillwall]

Looking forward to the new videos.

@Horizon Hobby just picked mine up from my local hobby shop. Can you please explain why the thrust line of the motor is offset up and too the right, instead of down and too the right? Great in depth video by the way..thanks

[@startazz]

Nice plane but I would of like to seen rudder flaps. ;-)

[@royboy6252]

Does the Visionaire support the Spektrum Dx7 (Not 7s) Transmitter?

[@patrickdistefano2539]

why is the C-Z Splendor so cheap? is there something wrong with it?

[@zachkantrow3073]

a friend of mine flew this successfully without any previous experience

Now I see some things that justify the higer price tag. Yet it falls short, in many area. Love the air frame, but do not like the proprietary spectrum electronics. Should offer something for the non spectrum guys. Although not a long distance flyer, the red and blue is a poor choice for visibility. Red = same as Black. Dark Orange and lime greens are the highest visible colors in the sky. Why not offer air-frame only? Hobbyzone has a MENTALITY of Sony during the 90s and GM during the 80s.
