Your a joy to listen to! You have such enthusiasm for the craft. Thank you!

[@tango9944]

Excellent review... Impressive how this plane can handle the wind, much better than the more expensive one I have. current price under $75. looks like fun, consider getting one. Thanks.

[@johnusjohnson8972]

What a fantastic little plane that is, makes me wanna fly fixed wing again. Nice job

[@QuadDoc]

I don't think I've seen you have so much fun and I watch almost everything you put out!! Maybe you should fly more airplanes! Love it Brother!!

[@wyorocker82716]

I have the apprentice s and I ordered this for 77 bucks, it looks better than the sport cub s. Great video.

[@jasoncurrie1979]

Will you plz review the XK A900. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE A600 BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO MADE OF EPP FOAM. I trust you and your channel and I had the a600 but the EPS phone didn't hold up for me

[@brianevans4]

Thanks so much. I have been investigating this plane and was about to ask you to do it and then you uploaded it! Great. I am definitely going to buy one. I just need to save a bit! I had a 3ch F949 and now I think I'm ready to move to something like this to learn 3d stunts and maneuvers and just for fun 4ch park flying!

[@lespaulr6]

Just ordered one of these & found your video !! Great display of the capabilities!!

[@geofkane2365]

Great demo and commentary. It was good to see you showing the controls.

[@agriculturalquadcoptermiss6510]

I needed to see it flying in the WIND and that little guy ROCKS thanks !!

[@jeffmullinix7916]

I just bought one of these about a month ago . I have not tried it to fly it yet but I will . I think it will teach me better skills at flying .

[@michaelgardner8688]

I bought one after watching your video, it's great, I am pleased you gave instructions on how to connect the ailerons. Thanks great videos.I Mike from UK

[@arashpirzadeh7808]

Michael Gardner What is the fly time?

[@ivanchan3305]

The sharp turns at 14-15min are nice ! Short radius turn !

[@Quadcopter101]

+Ivan Chan That's all done automatically with it's gyro and accelerometer system. That's why I really like this airplane, I think it's so cool :)

[@ivanchan3305]

+Quadcopter 101 Also can play in small places

[@jst4curiosity704]

Amazing features and stability for a $109 RC airplane.. Would like to see you fly it with the gyro stabilization and accellerometer off.

[@Quadcopter101]

+jst4curiosity That's what I'm going to do today. I did a test flight of it already though (no video). You get into trouble, just press the button, and it immediately levels off. It's really amazing. Am going to try to demonstrate that today.

[@syedadil1012]

your commentary is very awesome. it feel like i have myself bought this

[@arashpirzadeh7808]

Is the battery upgradable to 500mAh or 1000mAh? Is this more cost even than having a couple of 350mAh?

[@billsomrak]

Brings back memories of my single channel r/c days with fixed wing trainers. They were all high wing aircraft with plenty of decalage (higher angle of attack on the wing than on the stab). I remember flying on windy days where it was all I could do to keep the nose into the wind, and watch it ascend vertically, and when I either cut throttle or the fuel ran out, it would descend (mostly) vertically. One thing I have to question about this aircraft ... what of some kind of LVC warning? If you fly a Lipo past a certain voltage level, you'll ruin the battery. On a quad, usually they have flashing LEDs. I saw no kind of warning system. Pretty limited amount of travel on the rudder .. when you do get to flying in manual mode, that would make doing "hammerhead stall turns" more difficult ... but then, you'll probably have other things on your mind than doing any really advanced maneuvers. Not surprising that someone finally put a decent flight control board into a fixed wing aircraft ... its about time. I agree it will make for a great beginner's airplane ... as long as they remember to keep it UPWIND at all times, they should be okay. Thanks for the review ... Cheers!

[@thafactor24]

no disrespect bro but model airplanes wasn't this easy to fly back in the day

[@billsomrak]

+thafactor24 You're preaching to the choir .... I know EXACTLY how hard it was to fly R/C airplanes "back in the day", since I flew them "back in the day" (my 1st single channel transmitter used TUBES and required a large 1 1/2 volt battery for the tube filaments, and three 67 1/2 volt batteries to make up the B+ supply).

[@thafactor24]

Bill Somrak wow lol that was way before my time 😀

[@dheller777]

Looks like you had a lot of fun, and that's what it's all about. Great flight time also!

[@ianlavender7185]

Excellently talked thru video. Even I could understand LOL. I have one unboxed as yet. I'm a drone flyer so it must wait it's turn. I'm trying to build my kit form S550 hexacopter from parts including ground station using a PX4 flight controller.

[@RickyX64]

That's really awesome!! Plane looks great too!

[@FrogBoy138]

It's out of stock wonder for how long. It says Package Contents: 1 x Airplane, 1 x Set Wing, 2 x Strengthening Rod, 1 x Battery, 2 x Charger, 2 x Blades, 1 x Manual. Is everything I need in the box even the transmitter. Your the best Quadcopter 101 for taking so much time to answer all of us.

[@Quadcopter101]

+Tony Badurina Yes, mine did. But let me ask GearBest to confirm that.

[@fungusfoong9080]

Wow.....this review might just make me try a rc plane ! Thanks...

[@MartinFluteCompany]

Great Video, thank you! btw...in reading about it I found it has a brushless motor, even better than I thought!

[@BadChizzle]

I’m time traveling back to tell you I may get this one. You know... for my first winged aircraft. I like it!

[@Quadcopter101]

Yep, even today it's a very good plane.

[@robsonmenezes1006]

Caro amigo que aviaozinho show de bola que vôo presionante mesmo no vento forte ele plana que é a beleza também o motor é de respeito brushelles.😍👀👀👍👏👏👏👏👊

[@christophenotteghem2235]

hi nice test but i have a beginner question: what is the differnce between 6g and 3g mode in the behaviour of the plane? in fact could we see it on the remote an item which show the mode of flight 6 or 3g? thanx a lot

[@Quadcopter101]

There is no indicator on the remote. But it's very noticeable how the aircraft behaves between 6G and 3D. In 6G mode, the aircraft is using six gyro and accelerometer sensors to automatically stabilize the aircraft. It can not tilt over, nor bank left/right nor pitch forward/backward greater than about 30 degrees. This makes it very easy for beginner fliers to avoid most crashes, even on windy days. But 3D mode turns the stabilization off for expert pilots. In this mode the aircraft can roll and loop and do other acrobatics. But its also much easier to crash.

[@OuelPacla]

very nice feature for its price and size. i remember how toys like this would cost more than twice. and it's a mini. you can put an AOMWAY integrated video and transmitter on top of it and it's an instant FPV. I doubt it can carry a mobius though.

[@kanarimentos7056]

hi 101 have question how much weight of the battery did you try to put battery 400mah or 500

[@RuudyL]

Nice plane, handles the wind well, I have a few with that "safe" mode, Like the way you forget which button is which, I am always giving verbal comments, saying "read the instructions" lol, but with as many models you fly, I would get confused too. Great flight time, and most likely can carry a Mobius too

[@Quadcopter101]

+Ruudy L I don't know about a Mobius, but maybe an 808?

[@jamessdavidson96]

Love the video!! I see them on Amazon for around $100 bucks,... I hope it is as easy as you say, I'm ganna buy one! (never flown an airplane, I'm a quadcopter dude)

[@PilotRod]

Have you reviewed the Sport Cub s RC plane haven't heard of that one and a safe technology on it

[@russellouimet9192]

That transmitter looks a lot like the XK Alien. I wonder if the two are interchangeable. Great videos 101. Keep it up.

[@SkydiveDriver]

Neat looking plane. Your right could fly it in the back yard. But 51.00 for shipping is a bit high. Nice review thanks

[@LiveLNXgaming]

could i cut out a hole where the front window is and mount a small FPV camera so i could fly from cockpit view?

[@Quadcopter101]

+LNX Gaming I'm sure you could do something like that. But recommend keeping the total weight of your system under 20 grams. Although it lifted the 808 keychain camera, I don't think that it could lift much more weight.

[@LiveLNXgaming]

Ill keep that in mind and check the weight of my camera system befor i get this. I have some FPV quadcopters but have never flown a traditional RC aircraft and would like to get into it and graduate to long range large aircraft to do some 5-10km flights some day.

[@marymartus8232]

Is it true that the gyro stabilization doesn't turn off completely when switching between 3D and 6g? I noticed that in another video. It was still reacting to movement in both modes.

[@Quadcopter101]

Auto leveling is turned off to enable loops and rolls, or other acrobatics. It's still stabilized against wind gusts. But is it working now with the quick press of the button instead of the long press?

[@chrisbeard7538]

+Quadcopter 101 can you do a review on the Yuxiang 668 quadcopter.

[@christophenotteghem2235]

i notice a double beep when i choose the the 3G mode and long beep when 6G is set ;)

[@brian_gonzalez]

Hi Quad 101 -- how would you compare this plane to the WL Toys F959 "motor/glider" in terms of ease of use & overall experience for a fixed wing newbie -- if had to go with only 1 - which one would you recommend ?? Thx!!

[@Quadcopter101]

+Brian Gonzalez That's a tough one as I enjoy flying them both. Actually, I would start with the cheaper 3 channel 959 (throttle, elevator, rudder). It's a tough bird, and a great intro to fixed wing. But if you find that you like flying fixed wing, consider upgrading later to the A600 to start into 4 channel flying (ailerons).

[@brian_gonzalez]

+Quadcopter 101 thank you -- please continue giving us your great vids -- I have 7 quads bought on your recommendation -- I enjoy them all - thx!!

[@iride1999]

I live in Ireland how much would shipping cost?

[@danghongquan1001]

whats the wind add?

[@marymartus8232]

Were you able to turn off the gyro stabilization. I followed the manual, but I still can't seem to get it to turn off. I pressed the right stick down for 1 second, and it stayed on, just like yours did in the video. I tried other things too, with no success. Suggestions? -coptergirl

[@Quadcopter101]

+Mary Martus Mary, quick press works. Not long press.

[@Quadcopter101]

You'll hear a short beep. Watch how I go back and forth between 3D and 6G modes in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqKvhIOtiJpgarM

Hey friends what the best drone can i buy it for 80 dollars please tell me !?

[@bloodybotter]

I'm looking for a clone for the x5c-1 but one without a camera. The bayangtoys clone has a camera. Do you have an idea on which clone I should buy which doesn't have a camera? Thankful for answer!

[@brianevans4]

+bloodybotter FY326

[@MartinFluteCompany]

+bloodybotter I agree with Brian...FY326 Q7...same as Brian mentioned but he left off the Q7 Quadcopter 101 has a link to buy it, I think it cost less than 30 dollars and it's ready to fly.

[@MartinFluteCompany]

+bloodybotter the only way to tell of the board will be red or green is look at it when the battery is out, you can see it in there without removing a screw. All the ones I have with a red board fly great and have good range but many have complained about the red board. On my channel I have a distance check on the red board and brought it back to me after it hit 120 meters.

[@StormyDog]

+bloodybotter Not really a clone of the X5c but far far far better is the HT F801, I think GB has it on sale for < $36 right now.

[@fishstick7375]

Would this be a good beginner plane

[@Quadcopter101]

Yes, it would be an excellent beginner's plane.

[@rcplanes3131]

Seems a perfect parkflyer !

[@JeanCarlos-jy5dj]

whats the flying time?

[@MartinFluteCompany]

Three Questions my friend. 1. How are the transmitter controls set up? Mode 2 ? 2. How much assembly required. 3. For an absolute beginner RC pilot, what's easier, this or a very stable beginner quadcopter?

[@Quadcopter101]

+Wobble Copter Mode 2. Need to plug in the aileron control wires, and screw on the wing with one screw. I like this as it practically flies itself in 6G mode. But you can put it in 3D mode to practice 4 channel flying. If you get into trouble, just press down on the pitch/roll stick to go back to 6G mode, and the airplane will automatically right itself.

[@MartinFluteCompany]

+Quadcopter 101....OK, in flying 3D if I get into trouble push down on the pitch roll stick. I'm always in trouble with my wife, will pushing down on the pitch roll stick help me out there. Hope it has a 6g wife option, lol.

[@thafactor24]

+Wobble Copter here's a tip get rid of her your life will be much better this is coming from my experience lol😃

[@MartinFluteCompany]

It's ok to keep them as long as we can remain "man of the house" which I am, I do the dishes any damn time I want, usually right after dinner, lol

[@ivanchan3305]

Is it a good idea to practise with this when I frequently fly FX803 ?

[@Quadcopter101]

+Ivan Chan The hardest thing to learn is maintaining orientation, and you should have that from flying the FX803. So yes, I think you may be ready for this.

[@adamwoodward2003]

is am thinking of buying a model plane. is this a good starter plane????

[@Quadcopter101]

+Adam Woodward Although it is extremely easy to fly because of its automatic gyro system, it is a 4 channel aircraft (throttle, rudder, elevator, and aileron) which may be confusing to a new pilot. Two channel aircraft (throttle and rudder) are very good beginner aircraft, and can be very inexpensive kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5fJdXaMhp2Fes0 Two channel are good for beginner pilots as they help the pilot learn to maintain orientation on the airplane when its coming and going, yet don't overburden the new pilot with too many controls.

I'm sure I will like it. It will be mine first plane. So will be new experience for me. For now I had just quads. But I doubt that neighbours will like it. ;)

[@Quadcopter101]

Make sure to fly it in a field. Airplanes generally need more room to fly than a drone as they're always moving forward.

[@juraskreanto]

What is the flight time of the model airplane?

[@Quadcopter101]

about 13 1/2 minutes

[@toddy2519]

I clocked it from TO to landing and the flight duration was 12 mins 21 seconds. It's not a good idea to deplete a lipo battery too much less than 3 volts...2.5 volts would be maximum, otherwise, the battery could be damaged...even catch fire. Using 3 volts as the maximum is much better!

[@rogerpaull6178]

can't you just add a flight controller to any rc home built plane and get this same auto leveling?

[@Quadcopter101]

+Roger Paull It's not just gyros for auto leveling. It also has 3 accelerometers that sense turbulence and sudden wind gusts. That's how I was able to do those snake turns and vertical landings so easily in the wind. They do make auto-leveling boards that you can add to your model. If you shop for one, make sure that its "six axis stabilized" (3 gyros for auto leveling, and 3 accelerometers for wind gust corrections)

[@Quadcopter101]

+Roger Paull By the way, I'm going out today to fly a gyro stabilized only aircraft (B-17 bomber) today to show the differences. Keep an eye out for its upcoming video ;-)

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

[@DrTeddyMMM]

Wondering, what happens when the craft gets out of range?

[@JAYYVOO]

+MrTeddyMMM It stops responding. Or, on better planes, there will be a warning.

[@DrTeddyMMM]

+Daniel Scott It stands to reason if it gets out of range that it will not respond to the controller. Does the craft continue on its current flight path? (buh-bye)...Drop out of the sky like a rock? (where's my dust pan)...Or, return to its starting location (that would be a nice failsafe)?

[@JAYYVOO]

+MrTeddyMMM Hahaha. For this model you will experience delayed response times, then it will bomb out of the sky :)

[@DrTeddyMMM]

+Daniel Scott I see, so if you try long range flights keep a dustpan handy.......Doh!

Due to your fine video here, I got one of these. However, it will NOT enter into 6G mode. I've calibrated the gyros, etc. When I push down on the aileron stick, I get a beep, but the plane stays in 3D. Anyone have any ideas ? am I forgetting something ? BTW, when I apply throttle, the elevator moves up quite a bit; that doesn't seem right. Anyway, looks like i've received a faulty bird . . . Thanks, Bob p.s. I've contacted customer service.

[@Quadcopter101]

+bobclarie You need to press it quickly, and it will switch modes with a short sounding "bedeep". If you press aileron stick too long, it will give a longer beep, but do nothing in terms of switching modes. Listen to how the beep should sound with a quick press of the aileron stick as I switch back and forth multiple time in the following video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqKvhIOtiJpgarM

[@bobclarie]

+Quadcopter 101 Thanks for getting back so quickly. I re-watched the above mentioned video. Even with the quick push of the aileron stick, it will not switch to 6G stable mode. I get the same "bedeep" sound as on your video. Unfortunately it starts up in 3D and will NOT switch to 6G, gosh darn . Any other ideas ? Bob

[@Quadcopter101]

bobclarie How do you know it's in 3D mode and not 6G mode? (note that there is no indication on the LCD screen to tell you which mode that you're in).

[@bobclarie]

+Quadcopter 101 When I hold the plane, and move it around, there is absolutely NO corrective movement from any of the control surfaces. The servos remain totally quite . . .

[@Quadcopter101]

bobclarie Did you plug in the aileron servo wires into their connector wire plugs? This is a very important assembly step that is missing from the directions (bad on XK's part). There is a cable attached to the main circuit board that has two plugs attached to its end. You'll need to plug the aileron's servo wires from the wing into the plugs of this cable. And the wires are not coded which plug to insert. Thus you'll also need to verify that you inserted into the correct plugs by tilting the aircraft right and left. When tilted right, left aileron goes up/ right aileron down, and vice versa when tilted left.
