First things first, let's talk about the paintwork. Hold onto your propellers, folks, because these planes are an absolute feast for the eyes. The attention to detail is so on point that even the Wright brothers would give it a nod of approval. Authenticity? Check. Style? Double check. Your imagination will be doing loop-de-loops as you admire the impeccable design.

But wait, there's more! If you're a rookie in the world of toy aviation, fear not "“ these planes have got your back. They fly like a dream, perfect for those getting their wings for the first time. Beginners, rejoice! You'll be doing barrel rolls and loops in no time, all while keeping the skies safe from imaginary aerial foes.

Now, let's hit a bit of turbulence and talk about the not-so-sunny side of things. Batteries, oh batteries! It's like trying to fit a giraffe into a phone booth. Those battery compartments might need a dose of magic to accommodate those larger-than-life power sources. But hey, who doesn't love a good challenge? A little finagling here and there, and voilà! Mission accomplished.

Now, let's chat about those wheels. Picture this: a graceful landing on the runway, wheels touching down in a triumphant touchdown... or maybe not. Unless you're blessed with a runway smoother than a baby's bottom, those wheels might just stage a rebellion. Landing on uneven terrain? Let's just say it's a bit like trying to salsa dance on roller skates. Grass landings? Well, you might as well prepare for a crash course in "How Not to Land 101."

But fear not, young aviators, for all is not lost! These planes are the Chuck Norris of the toy aviation world. They've survived more crash landings than a rubber ball dropped from a skyscraper. While they may suffer a few battle scars, they're surprisingly resilient. Quick tip: if things get a bit rocky, a dab of glue can work wonders in bringing your trusty steed back into flight-ready shape.

One thing to keep in mind: the more the flights, the more the thrill. It's like a roller coaster ride in the clouds, but with wings. Unfortunately, like all great adventures, this one has a shelf life. Around 20-30 flights is what you can expect before these wings tire out. And at around $5 per flight, it's like your own personal airshow with a slight admission fee.

So, in summation, folks, buckle up for a whirlwind of airborne fun with these little planes. They've got charm, they've got style, and they've got a bit of a bumpy ride. But remember, it's not about the number of landings; it's about the sky-high smiles they bring to your face. So go on, embrace the skies and let your imagination take flight! 🚀✈ï¸

This is the perfect balance of not spending a ton and learning to fly!! Different difficulty settings and ease of use is amazing. Only gripe is they should include more propellers. New flyers will run through the 3 you give way to fast!

I'm having lots of fun flying this little plane. Yes it is kinda small, the plane is about one foot square when looking down at it. A four channel plane, ailerons, elevator, rudder, and throttle controls for an aircraft this small is unusual. Then add a gyro to make it stable and easier to fly. Then add a stunt button, since the gyro is trying to stabilize the plane the stunt button makes it possible to still enjoy some loops and rolls. Even though it is cheating, it's still very cool.

I'm flying at the local school yard which is a soccer size field. This is enough, but a larger field is better, especially for beginners. All of my landings have pretty much been crash landings. Since I'm landing on grass, the wheels don't roll, the grass just grabs the landing gear and the plane does a forward flip and lands upside down. I do bring it in as slow and low as I can and just cut the power when it touches down. No problem, this plane is so light, it doesn't hurt with this kind of landing. No damage so far, after about a dozen flights, I'm still using the original propeller, which has popped off a couple of times on some rougher landings.

The kit I bought came with two batteries and I'm getting about 15 to 20 minutes of flying from each battery for a total of 40 minutes of flying time. In addition this plane looks cool and much like the real P-51 and it's a great value for what you get.

Nothing bad to say about this kit, only a comment that it is small and it is light so best to fly with no wind or low wind. All said it's a great little plane for so many reasons and at a great price. Pick one of these planes from this war bird series, buy it and go have some fun.

I never leave reviews cuz I absolutely hate writing. But these planes seriously deserve a review! I highly suggest them for any beginning or even advanced RC guy (like me). Easy to fly, fast, agile, and has the perfect mix of durability and aesthetics (they look so cool, especially if you love WW2 planes like I do). I've bought a total of 9 of these planes and I finally feel experienced enough to offer some good advice. So here you go:
1) Buy either the Corsair or the BF109. They fly the best -- especially the Corsair but they all fly slightly different depending on chance. I haven't had a plane fly poorly, but the Mustang did get a little shaky when going fast or when it was windy and the P40 Warhawk was super jittery. The Corsair is BY FAR my favorite though. I've had 3 and they all flew super good (crashed one straight into a fence and the other one I crashed so many times it simply became inoperable).
2) LEARN TO FLY THESE IN A GRASS FIELD. A BIG ONE! You are going to crash 100,383 times before you get anywhere near adept enough to fly these things in front of your house. But if you're doing it in a giant grass field, then you can crash them literally dozens of times and they won't break. Concrete, on the other hand, can wreck them in one crash.
3) Keep the wheels on. They'll break off from time to time -- to which superglue will mount them back on -- but they'll protect the battery cage from breaking. On the superglue note, it's awesome for glueing together broken wings etc cuz the planes are just styrofoam.
4) Buy extra props. They fall off on impact and don't break often, but they do crack relatively easily so you'll want extra ones trust me.
5) Have needle nose pliers on hand for removing the battery. You'll thank me later.
6) Before your first flight make sure the prop is on securely by gunning it while you hold it then dragging it backwards through the air. If that doesn't make the prop fall off, then you're ready to send it.
7) Make sure your controller is in easy mode on your first flight. Once you get better, go to intermediate mode. That's where I still am, and it's the best mode to fly in IMO. The one time I went into expert mode I drilled my BF109 straight into the concrete and it destroyed my brand new plane. Sucked.
8) When taking off, put the throttle on full, and huck the plane as high as you can at a 45 degree angle into the wind.
9) I'd just fly in circles using the right control knob at first. Then crash it into the grass and repeat. These planes are SO FUN!
10) Once you graduate to flying them outside your house try to land in grass. You basically crash land but it's better than crashing in the street on a failed approach. Then once you master grass, land on the street. But give it several weeks before going for a street landing. Cuz if you bend the shaft that spins the propeller that will essentially total your plane.
11) Land in the street by coming in fast and low. I'll come in at like half speed and once the wheels are down I'll cut power. My landings are now like butter and I'm breaking my planes WAY LESS.
10) You can fly these things almost entirely with the right joystick. Just keep the left joystick pinned (throttle) and fly the thing with the left one. Easy Peasy.
11) Once you're an epic pilot like me, you'll be chasing birds around and dive bombing the kids in the neighborhood. You'll be doing loops and barrel rolls and songs will be written about you that will be sung around campfires for generations to come. These things are awesome, GET ONE!

The Trojan is a little nose heavy which at first I thought might be a problem but as it turns out it's not such a bad thing for such a small airplane. It does need a good bit of uptrim for straight and level flying so I had to adjust the elevator pushrod. The Trojan flies like a much larger airplane and is not easily swayed off course by wind and turbulence. Very fun to fly.
