LEAMBE4 Channel RC Plane - Ready to Fly Aerobatic Aircraft, Easy Control for Beginners, F4U Corsair RC Airplane Best Gift for Kids

New guy to the RC airplane world. I watched several videos on you tube in reference to this plane. Ease of use for a beginner, control, size and stability are what lead me to it. I was also able to get it on sale which helped some if I crashed it, which I have. The battery life is great in my opinion for such a small battery roughly around 10 minutes. Being able to use beginner mode is great and helps build my confidence while flying. Although the brushless motor will get up and help you speed across the sky if you want to. Make sure you have enough room to fly, you can take off from the ground or hand launch. The details on the aircraft are great. If you’re new to RC airplanes I would definitely suggest watching videos if your teaching yourself. Hand eye coordination is a must. It is great fun to start you out in the hobby. Once I get good with this one I’m going to move up to the bigger ones.

This is a pretty good little plane in my opinion. It flies great and it's pretty easy to do fun tricks without smashing it into the ground. Also, I definitely appreciate the option change the gyro, from having it on to being in full control of the plane. Now I'm not good at flying without the gyro yet, still need a bit of practice there but the ability to turn it on midflight to help avoid a major crash is pretty nice.BUT don't think that the gyro by itself will prevent crashing, it simply helps keep the plane level, you still have a lot of control and need to keep said control of the plane.Speaking of, I've accidentally smashed this plane into the ground real hard and real fast with it ending up with barely a scratch on it, ready to get back into the air(well after you put the prop back on). In my opinion this plane is great if you want to just have fun or practice flying rc planes without gyro assistance, it can take a hit. And if something does break(as what tends to happen in this hobby) don't let that discourage you, the fix can be as simple as foam safe super glue.One last thing, even though the booklet that comes with it suggest you don't fly in the wind(and maybe don't if you don't know anything about how flying works or you're trying to learn how to fly without gyro), you can totally take this thing into the wind, the planes motor has the power and you have more than enough authority of the control surfaces to fly through the wind with ease. Just make sure you don't let the plane get too far when it has a tailwind, and beware of gust when flying near the ground, they can be a one-way trip for your plane barreling into it.But yeah overall, really good plane!

Initial take off was hard for it on the ground as the wheels don't role the greatest and get stuck periodically. Broke first propeller on the concrete cause of wheels. Then I figured out I can just lightly throw it like a paper plane and works great. I have hit so many trees and few other things and it just keeps on going. Had to glue the wheel brackets back on and have had few holes from the tree branches I've took out of it and filled the whole with glue and still air worthy. Glad I am learning with this little guy to fly my big expensive jet . Lands ok on concrete. ATON OF FUN. Thanks will be buying all the rest of the varieties

I don’t want to leave a bad review because when it worked during the two times I took it out, it was great.. as far as handling goes. It’s not bad in minor wind for its size. It’s fast and zippy. Sadly, the prop saver won’t keep the prop on. You can change the piece connected to the motor, because sometimes that piece breaks, and by sometimes, I mean once per outing.. and I fly in a field with fluffy soft grass. I’ve made no hard landings. That piece is $3.99 for 2 at a hobby store. The prop is $3.99 for one. After gently changing the saver piece a couple of times, the motor no longer runs at speed and makes noise. I’m assuming it’s because of some motor damage from pulling on shaft.. WE ALL KNOW WHERE THIS THING IS MADE.. so expect thy kind of quality. The motor is not accessible and not replaceable. It’s sad that a plane that works so well has suck garbage components. I’d happily pay twice as much for top end electronics and an easily maintainable plane. Anyway.. I got it on sale for $80. That’s $40 per outing.. ouch!! I would have bought at least 3 more that I wanted really bad, until this experience. Oh well. I’ll just get a big P51 from the hobby store with retractable landing gear for $350. You def get what you pay for. Let’s hope a legit company picks up this design and gives a warranty.
