LEAMBE 4 Channel RC Plane, Ready to Fly Aerobatic Aircraft, Easy Control for Beginners, P51 Mustang RC Airplane for Adults Blue

Good Job

I think this plane is great. I love how it flies and the set up was easy. The bright color makes it easy to spot against trees and when it lands in deep grass. Easy to control and maneuver. Rugged enough despite lightweight. Flies fast enough and the battery charge lasts long enough for me to enjoy. My only criticism is the battery compartment is small and not always easy to close.

This RC plane is an absolute blast to fly and delivers an incredibly smooth and responsive experience right out of the box. It handles beautifully in the air, with great control and stability that makes it fun for both beginners and more experienced pilots. The design looks fantastic, and it really feels like you’re flying something special when it’s up there cruising around. That said, the excitement came to a quick halt when it met its first tree—the crash unfortunately ended its run right then and there. While it might not be the most durable option out there, the sheer fun and performance it offers before impact definitely make it a memorable experience.

We love these planes. I bought two of these aircraft: two separate colors. One for my son and one for me! For his birthday you know what I mean? Never flown an RC plane before. The beginner setting was safe enough. We used this in a parking lot, no soft grass landings. The plane is just styrofoam, yet took a beating. The nose is all chewed up from straight down crashes. The front section split apart at a seam. The wheels broke from the styrofoam. Everything was glued back with crazy glue. Everything works fantastic. I'm thinking of adding some spray foam back to the nose to give it body. I kept flying it after it split and no problems. I'm quite amazed at the beating they keep taking. We also broke a ton of propellers in the parking lot. I bought several packets of more props. A thing to know about the controllers is, if you buy two or more, they seam to have a way to connect to the first aircraft that responds back. So if you buy two, and you turn them on near one another, one remote can end up controlling both planes. Just need to power off the remote and disconnect the battery a bit away from one another. This happens every time we go out to fly. No big deal though. We mostly fly now in intermediate mode and love it. The plane dances across the sky. We also crash much less now. Soon we hope to use expert more often but expert is definitely for experts. Love them, buy them.

This plane, and frankly any of the other similar versions of the same (whether it be from Leambe/Volantex/Rage RC), all perform exceptionally well for their size. They can take a bit of wind, the stabilization handles exceptionally well, and boy can they take a beating. I now own two, this model and the Corsair from Rage RC. Both fly about the same, can't tell much of a difference. This one can fly marginally slower than the corsair due to the wing structure. As for the abuse, I flew this one at about 2/3 throttle into a goal post trying to be fancy. It connected with the inner leading edge of the right wing, prop flew off, plane spiraled about 20 feet away.. slapped the prop back on and away it flew. Both this and the Corsair have taken enough abuse that eventually the wing assembly began to separate from the fusealage. In both cases, I took a hobby knife to them, made a clean cut along the seam, and using Foam-Tac glue, I tacked both wing assembles back on and they both continue to be a joy to fly. What's great about these little planes, is you don't really need much space to fly. Once you've developed your skills enough, they can be flown in a pretty small space. Of course, having more room is more enjoyable, but not necessary. To try and simulate a test on how much load the wings can bear, I took my corsair into a vertical nose dive from ~100 feet up, at full throttle, and pulled out of the dive at about 20 feet off the ground. Zero issues. I love these little planes. Two of my buddies have since purchased a similar version (from Leambe i think?) and they both love em. I've since started getting into larger planes (my first being the Carbon Cub S2) which is also a lot of fun to fly, but in a way, I think I like these little ones better simply due to their versatility. Anyway, enough ranting. I hope this review helps. I know it would have helped me before buying, but if you're interested at all in trying out RC planes, for ~$100-$110 all in, these are incredibly fun, and boy howdy do they look good flying. If you do purchase, check out some of the 5-pack battery/multi-charger combos using the 400mah battery packs. If the connecter looks the same, they'll work, and will let you enjoy flying near continuously for an afternoon. Great starter planes, I hope this helps people make an informed decision. Just keep in mind, the other 400mm planes are all basically the exact same thing should you like another model better. good luck have fun
