DEERC F16 Thunderbirds RC Plane,3CH Remote Control Airplane Fighter Toys,2.4GHz 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer RTF Glider Aircraft Plane with 2 Batteries,Easy to Fly for Beginners Kids Adults

This remote controlled plane is very easy to set up, and great fun. While it is a toy, please note that it can fly very fast, isn't the easiest remote control toy to fly, and the plane is made from lightweight EPP foam (polypropylene foam) which is easily damaged if the plane is crashed. It is very susceptible to wind and gusts, so ensure your first flight attempt is on a calm day in a large open area. This toy is more suitable for adults or older children with some experience with piloting remote control toys.The plane itself is very easy to assemble, just peel the backing off the adhesive strip on the vertical stabiliser fin, and carefully press it into place. The landing gear presses into the slots at the front and rear, and the plane is complete.This unit comes with 2x lithium batteries for the plane itself, so you can double your flying time by switching batteries, but no batteries are provided for the remote which requires 3x AAA cells. A screwdriver is provided to open the battery compartment on the remote, and a USB-A charging adaptor is provided for the lithium batteries which have to be removed from the plane to charge. The plane is dual motor, and comes with 2x spare props.The instructions are not perfect, so this may be of assistance:- The plane automatically powers on when the battery is connected- When powered on, the LEDs under the plane will flash indicating pairing mode- Ensure left throttle is down/off, & turn on the remote control using the large middle button- Before pairing, ensure the plane is immobilised to avoid accidental take off- To pair, move the left throttle all the way up and all the way down- LEDs should stop flashing to indicate pairing was successfulI tested this plane on an empty football and cricket oval on a calm day, and it was a lot of fun. The cricket pitch in the middle of the field made for a perfect runway for taking off, as the plane needs at least 10-15m to get up to speed (it's probably best to launch these small RC planes by hand). It handled a minor crash landing fairly well, without any notable damage (pictures taken prior to flying, it looks a bit more worn in now!). I flew it for 5-10mins on each battery, I'm not sure what the maximum flight time is as I wasn't game to push my luck and run out of battery during the flight. The plane is very fast, and the controls are very sensitive, so this is best suited to older teenagers and adults, as crashing it at full speed may total the plane due to the EPP foam construction.

This F16 turned out to be a really fun little plane to fly, especially once you get used to the controls. The rear flaps are a real game changer – they make it feel like a proper RC jet rather than a simple styrofoam glider and give you much better control in the air. You do need a lot of open space though, because even with the extra control it’s still quite tricky to fly and any wind makes it noticeably harder to keep on track.The included wheels technically work, but in practice they’re more trouble than they’re worth. Runway takeoff mode is possible, but because the wheels don’t steer the plane tends to veer off course unless you have a very wide, long, perfectly flat hard surface. I ended up taking the wheels off and just hand‑launching it, which works much better, and the wheels are likely to pop out and go missing anyway when you inevitably crash.Build quality is where the compromises show. The nose snapped off on a not‑very‑hard landing into soft grass, which was disappointing for something at this price, even though it was easy enough to glue back on and it still flies fine. A bit of internal wire framing or reinforcement would make the foam much stronger and feel more worth the money. As it stands, you’re paying quite a bit for something that’s a lot of fun but very easy to break, so I’d recommend it for patient beginners who understand they’re buying a fragile foam trainer rather than a long‑term, durable RC jet.

For the 3CH plane:It needs about 10 meters to take off, or you can throw it like a paper aeroplane. The rear wing that moves up/down is essential, it makes it actually usable. The flight time is pretty good given that you would only really keep it up in the air for maybe a minute or three before landing and swapping from kid to you so you can fly too!.The landing gear survived its first day without problem, as did all the propellers. At one point the plane got taken up by an updraft and was above some tall gum trees and I was fighting to bring it back. I regained control lucklily and it didnt become owl food.The remote requires 3x AAA batteries to my annoyance. I prefer AAs.The loop the loop button also worked fine, much to the delight of the kids. This is really the base model plane you need. Nothing less!For flying space we probably used up an area of 2x basketball courts so you dont really need that much space.For the 4CH plane that also looks like an F16.This one is harder to fly. More manouverable. I couldnt make it 'roll' despite moving the appropriate joystick. it is a harder plane to fly than the 3CH and my 6yo kept putting it on a tree.

This is great fun and very easy to fly. The plane is polystyrene. You just need to slot in the self adhesive tail fin, push the wheels on their axles into plastic slots in the base. The small batteries (you get 2 which is nice) are quick to charge and just connect into a lead in battery slot on the underside. I didn't have anywhere for a runway take off but it is easy to launch with a gentle throw. The nose is flexible so running into a wall or tree trunk means the plane pretty much bounces off. I got stuck in branches a couple of times so don't fly higher that your longest stick or pole than can knock it down! I didn't time the flight time but somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes. Note the plane is super light so you need a pretty still day or the wind will simply blow it away. Great fun.

This super-light RC foam plane is awesome! We took it to our local sports oval to try it out and were seriously impressed at how fast it is. It goes so fast and so high that it’s hard to keep track of it. Controlling it was easy and we had it doing loops. As you can hear from the video, it sounds like a really big mosquito!! It would make a great gift and comes packaged in a sturdy and attractive box. The plane is made from very lightweight polystyrene foam and a soft rubber nose cone. It also has a row of small green lights under each wing that would look very effective at night time. Excellent fun for young and old!
