Volantex 400mm Warbird RC Plane Tips after flying for a year

In this video I talk about my experiences with two Sport Cub 500s, a Spitfire, P40 and Me BF109 which are all Volantex 400mm warbird series radio control trainer planes. They have all been amazing if you want flying with no worries about crashing. They are proper little flyers that allow you to try more difficult modes as you improve, although 'Expert' mode is generally regarded as pretty much uncontrollable on such a small plane so effected by the wind. The other two modes though are great, useful, and easy to get to grips with. My three sons all flew the Sport Cub first time out no issues as they have used similar controls in games such as GTA. If you understand the principle of four channel control, then you'll be ok. Left stick forward is throttle, sideways is rudder for tighter turns, right stick is sideways for ailerons and left and right turns, and elevator to go up (down) and down (up). You can launch and fly on say 75% power and just use the right stick only and fly happily like that even.

As I think of more tips (if I do) I'll add them here. Please feel free to add your own tips in the video comments. For example you can trim the planes further using the wire connections and the holes they go into under the control surfaces (I've never needed to).

Music from YouTube Barge and Desctructoid. At 7:35 I have had to add an additional blur in YT Editor to cover up my details under the P40 but it also obscures the servo horn which had only three horns out of four remaining but it only needs two, so still functions.
