DEERC F35 Thunderbirds Brushless 4 Channel RC Plane for Adults Remote Control Airplane EDF Fighter Jet,2.4GHz 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer EPP RTF Hobby Glider Aircraft Plane Easy to Fly for Advance Player

This is actually my second unit of this exact DEERC F35 model, as my first one took an absolute beating while I was learning to fly in standard expert mode (Mode C). The EPP foam airframe on these jets is surprisingly resilient and survived plenty of hard lawn impacts, but after enough rough landings while dialing in full manual acrobatics, I decided to pick up a fresh replacement to have a clean plane in the air.The brushless 7400KV motor and 30mm EDF setup give this micro jet plenty of punch, offering plenty of vertical thrust for punch-outs and fast passes once you get it up to speed. Flight Modes A and B keep the gyro fully active, which makes launching and cruising extremely docile, but Mode C completely unlocks the elevons so you can pull off sharp loops, rolls, and tight aerobatic maneuvers.​Because Mode C removes the pitch and roll limits, the jet turns into a fast, highly responsive acrobatic plane that requires quick stick inputs to keep steady. Having two included 550mAh LiPo batteries is great for keeping flight time going, though keeping your distance in mind is key since the micro receiver range is best kept within a reasonable park-flying radius. If you stick through the learning curve on manual mode, it becomes one of the most entertaining micro EDF jets in this price tier. Additionally, this will attract onlookers and plenty of questions.

DEERC models always bring serious build quality, but this F35 Thunderbirds EDF jet takes it to another level fr!! the brushless ducted fan setup sounds amazing spooling up and gives this fighter jet insane thrust and speed in the air. having genuine 4-channel control means you can pull off actual high-speed passes, sharp rolls, and banking turns instead of just floating around like a basic beginner glider. the 6-axis gyro stabilization is the secret sauce here. it locks the jet in straight and level even in breezy outdoor conditions, giving you massive confidence on hand launches and preventing accidental tip stalls. the high-density EPP foam build is ultra-durable and takes rough grass landings like a champ without cracking or snapping wings. the Thunderbirds red, white, and blue livery looks razor-sharp cutting across the sky, and having dual flight packs included gives you plenty of airtime at the park. solid engineering, killer jet performance, and tough construction. 10/10 purchase fr!!

I love this plane.It was super easy to assemble and set up. The tail fins need to be installed and the optional landing gear can be popped into their mounts if desired.This plane looks fantastic. The details and colors are great. I also really like the molded plastic parts for strength and appearance.The canopy is also the battery tray, and it clips into place without the need for tape or pins of any kind.The belly hangs low at the back which helps keep the servo arms off the ground during landings which is great.The tail elevators have a fabric hinge that looks much more durable than the foam hinge many similar options have.This flies great and can be hand launched with a hard throw. It does need quite a bit of speed to gain altitude. I would also recommend moving the push rods up a hole to get more throw on the control surfaces, because in the factory location it is quite tame and has a wide turning radius.The controller is pretty good but the star of the show is definitely the aircraft.Unfortunately mine was missing its nose cone but I 3d printed one out of TPU easily enough.Overall this is a great value and I definitely recommend it.

I'm going to start this review with the bad things about this aircraft, because I know that's what I always come to the reviews to see. The reason I deducted two stars from this plane is mostly due to the controllability. While I generally had good control of the aircraft once I got it to launch - a gentle breeze was able to turn the airplane significantly... like I could be in the hardest right turn the plane is capable of doing, the slight breeze arrives, and the plane suddenly jerks to the left. I don't mean just being blown by the wind - that's really unavoidable for an aircraft this lightweight - the airplane physically tilts and turns in a direction that I'm not telling it to go, which makes me scared to fly it on all but the most windless days. The other issue is power - while it does use a genuinely brushless motor, it's still lacking in power a bit. To hand launch I needed to throw it a little faster than all other RC airplanes I've flown, which is why there were so many failed launches at the beginning of my video. Once I got the hang of it, launching was easy.The motor is truly brushless - literally the tiniest brushless motor I've ever seen, but definitely brushless. Unfortunately, the design isn't repair friendly for electronics - so if the motor breaks you won't be able to repair it without breaking into the aircraft, first.The aircraft has a built in gyro stabilizer, which is active in modes A and B on the controller - I strongly recommend sticking in these modes. You can try to do acrobatics in C mode, but the throttle isn't really enough to do easy flips without stalling. From other experiences I've had with DEERC aircraft, I decided to fly without landing gear, which gives you a bit better performance.The controller is a classic gaming controller design that fits well in the hand and requires 3 AA batteries and a small screwdriver, which was not included.The nose of the aircraft is a very lightweight rubber. My other DEERC aircraft come with a slightly thicker nose than this one - but the aircraft is still fairly robust and survived some crashes and being retrieved from two trees, already.Maneuverability is a bit less than I was hoping - I do a few wide circles in my video and these are the tightest circles the aircraft is capable of doing, so make sure you have a wide open space to fly in.Assembly is easy and you attach the tail fins with a thin strip of double sided tape (included) - however, this tape doesn't hold them on too well - in one of the crashes in my video the fin ripped off when I tapped a branch and I lost control of the aircraft. I'd recommend gluing them in (hot glue or a very tiny bit of gorilla glue - super glue may melt the foam). Once the nose and tail fins are attached, you won't be able to store the airplane in the box it comes in anymore, which is also a bit of a disappointment - but it is a really awesome looking plane.If it weren't for the glitches I've been getting where the plane jerks suddenly, I'd rate it 4 or 5 stars. I think it's due to breeze, because I felt a breeze around the time I saw the aircraft turn significantly, but it might be an issue with connectivity with the controller, too

This really has a ducted fan setup and flys do smooth. Long battery life and really good flight performance. Very durable and super realistic as well. Includes remote, battery and charger. excellent value for your money if you want to try out Rc flight at a low entry point.

If you are an RC enthusiast, this is the plane for you. The Gyro that this thing has makes it so much fun to fly and stunt with it handles with so much ease of control and if you know what you're doing it's super easy to maintain altitude the brushless motor is really top-of-the-line. It is by far one of the nicer models that I own. The adjustable speed really gives it a precision that is impressive. I cannot wait to get back out there and fly it some more.

This F35 looks awesome in the air. Assembly was basically zero effort—snap on the landing gear, charge the batteries, and pair the transmitter. Controls are 4-channel, so you get full pitch, roll, and throttle control, which makes aerobatics really fun once you get a feel for it. Definitely make sure you take it to a large, wide-open park or field because this thing covers ground fast and needs plenty of room to bank and turn. Solid build, reliable range, and very satisfying to fly. I would definitely recommend.

Super happy with the looks and quality of this DEERC F35 DUCTED FAN RC airplane!! Most of the ones I have are fake ... in that they have propellers pushing or pulling the jet rather than a ducted fan which is much cooler looking, sounding and behaving. This F35 is really nice to look at from a few feet away. Up close and you can clearly see the foam construction and that's ok. Its meant to be viewed from at least a little distance.NOTE: I have not flown this yet and I'm a little nervous to as its too nice! LOL. I will probably wait for my brother to come to town to fly it as he's a much better RC pilot than I am. I want to keep this one in nice shape! :)Also, I'm wondering if there is a way to convert this to work with a full size RC transmitter? I would prefer that over the game style controller this comes with. But perhaps after trying it I will feel differently.Some of the other things I like about this set that some others may or may not have:1) 4 Channels! This is a must have for true, realistic control.2) Brushless motor. Speed counts for a ducted fan!3) 2 Batteries. Swap out on the field and double the flying time!This is an EXCELLENT value as its packed with great features.

This is about the best flying DeeRC plane I've used yet, and I've had five so far. While a little more power would be fun for climbing, it has plenty for a nice hand launch takeoff and climbing. For a jet, this plane has a really nice turn radius. I also noticed that it has a very predictable rate of descent that makes smooth landings really easy. I have a thick grass lawn, so I leave the landing gear off and flare the plane right before touchdown for a soft and predictable landing. I also like that the battery compartment has plenty of room and top-loading is easy and convenient. The plane comes with two batteries, so you get a decent amount of flight time when you head out. I really like DeeRC's three levels of gyro support on the transmitter. Level 1 limits flight control, level 2 gives you a wider range of flight control, and level 3 has no restrictions. Make sure you're in a wide open area and have some extra altitude when you start using level 3 as it's very different than the first two levels. The last thing I want to point out is how great this plane looks! Very sharp styling.
