Definitely recommend for first plane
THIS is a plane for all beginners. I will say this is my third plane and I had three successful flights. I was a bit skeptical after watching videos about which planes were great for beginners, and testing and badly damaging the first two. The first plane was very light, which turned into a fight in 5 mph wind and not being able to land in the field that I was flying, but instead landing in the road and having someone run over it. The second plane was very big, it had big wheels, I could fly that thing well in pretty high winds, had one successful flight in 20 mph gusts. Until one day during takeoff i nose dived into the ground. The reason these two stories are important in because my maiden flight with this plane was the best of both of my first two planes. This plane was a little difficult to fly in the 10 mph winds, but I still maintained control of it, even though it is as light as the first plane. I got a LOT of altitude, which was a bit scary if Iโm being honest (the higher it goes the higher the winds). I was able to cut it into the wind and then the scary part..... I had to nose it down to bring it in closer for my preparation for landing. The most awesome thing happened though, I did NOT have to pull back to get it level! It leveled out perfectly as soon as I put it back center. I had three successful flights, with a little wind, it was awesome to allow the glide effect and just enjoy the flight time. I recommend THIS for anyoneโs first plane. You can tell the durability from others like it, and it definitely has a forgiving flight stability that allows the beginners to understand the flight patterns. Update: i took a risk in 15-20 mph gusts, I would not suggest doing such a thing for beginners, the plane was all over the place, I thought that I was going to lose the plane at one point but was able to recover. Had the battery entered into low power mode, I most like would have lost it. However I was able to make a pretty rough landing. The plane is fine, I did get it back in the house in one piece. VERY durable, even after wrecking into a tree. VERY worth the money to learn how to fly. My experience level is now 20 full hours of flight. UPDATE 2: I have flown this for more than 80 hours now. Probably going to need to get some battery replacements at this point. Iโm not getting the 15 minutes of flight any longer. Itโs more around 10 minutes on two of them, Iโm not sure if the third battery is ever getting charged. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. But this plane has definitely served THE purpose. It has taught me a great deal about flying. Iโm now waiting on a larger scale of this model of plane. Itโs still in great working order and Iโm still as pleased as I was with the maiden flight. Iโm moving up to a 1400mm model that seems to be the next step. Although Iโm very shocked at how well this particular model can do tricks (inverted flight for a few seconds , sort of air stalls, loops, etc.) it still lacks maneuvers because of the lack of ailerons. Again, Iโm going to keep this running until the rudder falls off, itโs such a fun little plane that is so durable and is easy to fly in 25 mph wind (for the more advanced flyer). Iโm now ready to move on to the knife edge, air stalls, snaps and other such tricks.

Easy to Fly, Durable, and Tons of Fun
This RC F-16 has been a huge hit in our house. My son absolutely loves it, and I was impressed with how easy it was to get flying right out of the box. Setup was straightforward, and the gyro stabilization really helps keep things smooth and controlled โ especially for beginners. The batteries charged quickly and lasted longer than I expected, which meant more actual flight time and less waiting around. We were flying from a hay field with pretty tall grass, so we used the hand-throw takeoff method โ and it worked perfectly. It launched easily and climbed smoothly. What surprised me most was how well it handles light wind. It cuts through a breeze confidently and maneuvers with precision. Itโs lightweight but doesnโt feel fragile. In fact, during the learning phase, we had a few nose-first crashes (part of the process!), and it handled them without any visible damage. On top of all that, it just looks cool in the air. The scale fighter jet design makes it even more fun to fly. Pros: Beginner-friendly and easy to control Quick charging with solid flight time Durable EPP foam construction Handles light wind well Two takeoff options (great for grass fields) Great value for the performance Overall, this has been a fantastic outdoor activity and a great introduction to RC flying. Highly recommend for kids (and adults) looking for something fun and surprisingly capable.

Literally CAUGHT FIRE second time using it!
I bought this plane for my grandson, based on it being easy to use with stabilizing gyros. It worked well the first time out although it was a little underpowered. My grandson made a number of short flights of less than a minute each, getting familiar with the controls. The second time out, he made a few quick flights and it seemed to be working properly. He was comfortable with the controls, so he made a longer flight around the field and after a couple of minutes it quit responding to the controls. It continued to fly straight and level even when he reduced the throttle to zero and set the elevator control to bring it down. It ending up landing in the street. The only external damage was a broken propeller. When we examined it more closely, the wiring inside the plane had overheated and the insulation had CAUGHT FIRE, To see the damage you had to open the battery cover. I have attached photos to the review that I sent to EXHOBBY expecting to get a replacement for a CLEARLY DEFECTIVE plane. One picture shows the burnt wiring. The other two show the top and bottom views of the plane showing the exterior in almost new condition. This wasn't the result of a crash or other misuse of the plane. When they received my information, they replied offering me an unspecified discount on the purchase of another plane. I requested a replacement and they quit responding to my emails. They were sending me sales emails, and read receipts verified that they received my follow up emails. The read receipts indicated the email was being forwarded to Hong Kong, so I figured I had no further recourse with an overseas company. I ended up having to buy a replacement plane for my grandson from another brand and seller. The purchase of this plane was a compete waste of money and only disappointed my grandson. This product is UNSAFE and the seller doesn't give acceptable support. DO NOT BUY!!!

Check out the update! Good for one flight, never to return!!!
UPDATE: The seller contacted me. After answering their questions I was offered a 25% discount on a new plane (plane only). The plane only so happened to be on sale at that time too. After receiving the new plane it was several days before it could be tested out. This time my husband made for sure to put his name and phone number on the plane before taking it outside. The whole family showed up to watch the first of many flights, hopefully. He tossed the plane up and it took off. It responded to all the controls and he thoroughly enjoyed flying it. He landed and took off several times. This was the experience we were hoping for the first time. I got this plane for my husband for Christmas. He had read up on it and wanted one so he and the grandkids could enjoy it. He read all the material and followed the instructions, not once but about 3 different times. The weather and wind conditions were not right so he would get it out of the box and go over everything again waiting for the weather to be just right. The day finally came when the sun was shining and the wind was 5 to 6 miles an hour. My husband, two of our grandchildren and one of our daughters went to an open area for the first flight. Sadly it turned out to be the only and last flight because the plane quit responding to controls and took off to parts unknown. We have the box and controller but no plane. We have even posted on Facebook just in case someone finds it. My husband was the only person to deal with the plane and he had done everything he was supposed to except to put his name and phone number on the plane before ever taking it outside. He does have drones but he wanted to try a plane. We are very disappointed in this product.

Great beginner RC plane!
Easy to control and surprisingly stable, especially with the 6-axis gyro. Itโs fun to fly and a great choice for beginners. Good quality for the price! My nephew loved it.

The right remote control airplane for beginners
This remote control airplane was the ideal purchase for beginners, which we are. It was easy to fly, although there was a learning curve. Itโs very sturdy and I know that from experience because there was a crash landing or two. But all in all, flying this plane was a great way to learn before buying a more expensive airplane. When receiving the box, was skeptical at the weight. But after opening it, I realized why. It is made of a lightweight Styrofoam that is painted silver. I think if it was made of anything else, it would not have flown as well. It did fly higher than I expected. We only used the takeoff from the ground and it came with landing gear for that. It also came with two rechargeable batteries that lasted about 10 to 15 minutes before the low battery alarm started flashing. The remote was super simple and easy to use. It came with extra propellers, which was a plus. I was also impressed with the packaging because everything was really secure in the box.

Excellent Beginner Airplane
After having experimented with a lot of entry level RC airplane products, I finally found exactly what I was looking for in a beginner airplane. Here is what I liked most: - It came ready to fly, straight out of the box. All it needed was for the transmitter (aka remote control) to have 4 double A batteries loaded, and for one of the batteries to be charged to 100%. There are optional landing gear that take about one minute to install or uninstall. - Binding the remote to the airplane was very easy. - Flying in beginner mode was a breeze. You do need to understand the basics of how an RC airplane is controlled, so watch a video on youtube before flying if its your first time. - The airplane is very light and the propeller pops off cleanly when it crashes. The foam used for the airplane's body feels sturdy and flexible. - It's surprising fast and maneuverable, even with beginner mode turned on. This would be a great toy for kids 8 and up, but I would definitely make sure to learn alongside and supervise kids up to 11 or 12 years old before you let them fly it without active supervision.

don't buy
It was fun, but then on the first flight, the wheels fell off, and then there where lost, and it kept drifting out of control, and it doesn't even use the front propeller it uses 2 small ones on the sides and the you have to hold the charger together for it to charge.

Great little plane
Having never flown anything before, I was a bit nervous with the first few flights, but the beginner mode on the gyro makes it pretty easy to fly. With the mechanical trims adjusted and a dozen flights under my belt it's very easy to confidently fly around the small park near my house, even in a decent wind For the first few times I would definitely recommend the largest field you can find in order to get comfortable with the controls without the pressure of dodging trees and light posts lol. And order a pack of spare props that come with the hub that goes on gearbox shaft. The hubs do wear out, and the props are easy to lose if you clip a tree branch. I painted the tips of a few props florescent yellow to make them easier to find in the grass. Switch it into intermediate mode and the controls get way more responsive, if it starts getting out of control, a quick flip of the switch back to beginner mode and the plane levels out.

Great trainer that's pretty responsive and lots of fun!
Pros - great trainer - simple set up - easy flying (just take your time and don't over correct like anything you fly or start at) - lightweight - replacement parts and dual batteries - inexpensive for an entry RC - fairly resilient after a few pretty big crashes Cons - lightweight (if it's at all gusty or windy don't fly this, I had to wait a week before testing it due to conditions) - wheels aren't sturdy (made of foam and also pop off kind of easily). One side wouldn't spin well, so while taxing would catch and tip over. Fixed this with some wd40 - unknown range. Not sure you want to try to find the outer limits, I was reading it'll just keep going and going and going into the sunset Overall - I'd definitely recommend this, I've had a blast learning for the first time with no real training. I have always wanted to get into and try this but didn't want to fork over too much money only to crash it out on the first few flights.

Awesome beginner plane!
Love this little plane and so easy to fly for a beginner. I liked it so much in fact, I ordered a soceond one. Seems very fragile handling it out of the box but it's surprisingly rugged. I crashed it straight into the ground at full throttle and the propeller popped off. Snapped it back on and took off again. Highly recommended for this price point.
