LEAMBE 4 Channel RC Plane - Ready to Fly Aerobatic Aircraft, Easy Control for Beginners, F4U Corsair RC Airplane Best Gift for Kids

I kicked around buying this for a while. I flew bigger planes in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Wasn’t sure how this would go. To be straight, this is a squirrel little airplane once it’s in the air. But getting it there was simple. Landings were tuff. Took me 4 tried to do a 3-point touch down. I still can’t get a roll out, it tips up. But this was a blast and my wife said I was beaming. It’s definitely quick and the flight stabilizer works well. Good little plane to get back into the hobby.

Excellent beginner RC plane! My son and I have had a lot of fun learning on this plane. There is plenty of run time on the two batteries and range with the controller. The different settings make it easy to decide how much computer control you want. It is also easy to repair with super glue if you have an accident.

Bought one year ago from today and has me hooked on flying RC since then! Not gonna he most stable design of all the small airplanes but it doesn't matter if you fly with the stabilized mode. I get about ten minutes of flight time per battery and can fly one all morning

I was excited to get this for my grandson. I bought this for my 12 yr old grandson for Christmas. I bought it in October because I have 9 grandchildren that I bless. On Christmas morning he was excited to open and find one of the two RC planes I got for him.When he went out with his dad to fly it, the remote did not work...didn't even come on, one of the forward wheels was broken and it never flew. This plane was not work the money. I don't even know if it is a good plane...IT NEVER WORKED!!! Tragic... I am disappointed and so was he!!!I bought it so early that it could not be returned. So, I spent a $115 and had a disappointed grandson.I suggest you do not buy this plane unless you try it out first and test the plane yourself.As, I looked at the packaging, it actually looks like it may have been a return originally probably because it did not work.So Very Disappointed and will never buy another one.

This is a actually a piece of exercise equipment. When you're learning, every landing is a crash landing. Do your best to crash it near you or you'll be walking all over the place. But you won't mind the walking much because learning to fly this thing is so fun.-Only fly over grass if able - pavement impacts break propellers.-Make sure propeller is well seated before flying - press it onto the shaft firmly-Don't rev up the motor with the propeller spinning in the same plane as your face in case it flies off.-Don't attempt to takeoff from the ground, instead gently toss into the air and throttle up as this taildragger model is so front heavy, and without a nosewheel, any chip in pavement causes it to faceplant and shatter propeller tips. You can trim down and use slightly damaged props - make sure it's still balanced! If the surface is perfectly smooth takeoff is sometimes possible. If you use 1mm music wire to make new, longer, stronger main landing gear, you can takeoff and land more reliably - but if you want to learn to fly a plane that will do this reliably -DON'T BUY THIS PLANE.-The spring steel main landing gear get bent back after crash landings, and if you try to bend them back into shape too many times you'll break the wires. They'll break anyways after enough crashes.-Keep controller in "beginner mode"-Don't fly near trees. I lost mine 25 feet up a pine tree just as I was finally getting good. Luckily I borrowed a tall ladder and the plane only spent one night in the tree.-Lightly sand your propellers with 150 grit paper and spray paint white to help find the propellers after crashing if you're near bushes. Can’t stress this enough.-Since there is a deadzone in throttle stick between 0 throttle and some (but not enough to stay airborne) throttle, you'll have to learn where that lowest throttle position is to help you descend/ land in a controlled way. Being able to hear the plane's motor helps, and this is possible from >50ft away unless it's really noisy out.Learning basic control must be accomplished in steps:1 fly straight/ low level with constant throttle1.5 play with throttle settings - cutting power completely in flight is risky! Learn to adjust trim in flight.2 controlled crash landings3 turn big circles/ ovals - no rudder4 add rudder to turns (learn about how too much rudder will cause a stall and spin/ crash if you're flying too low to recover)5 turn tight circles/ ovals6 reverse turns/ figure eights7 learn to use elevators at full deflection up/down8 fly higher9 glide-Start by flying in a straight line, cut the motor, let the plane sink, even nose down to a degree, then pull back on the stick at the last second to cushion the crash landing. This can be a frustrating process.-Try flying in big circles next just be leaving the throttle at medium power and banking in one direction-Tighten down the circles by pulling back on the stick as you're banking, adjust throttle to keep from changing altitude too much-As soon as you can start learning how to move the rudder in the same direction that you're banking to make even tighter and more coordinated turns. Soon, you'll be always moving your left and right thumbs in the same direction in similar amounts and making nicer, predictable turns. Since the rudder stick works the throttle, you'll have to practice not changing throttle with your left thumb unless you mean to.-Learn to spot the yellow nose of the plane/ white propeller from far away to know when it's facing you - this will help you know when to stop turning and level out in a new direction-Fly really high and cut the throttle, play with the controls as you coast all the way down - this is really helpful in learning flying without worrying about the throttle.You can even dangle a string from the ceiling in your house and tie another string around the plane forward of the wings, the other end around the plane forward of the tail, and suspend the plane in front of a big box fan. You can play with the controls without running the motor at all, and go between expert and beginner modes, learn how to bring the plane back to stable as you fight the side to side oscillations that develop.Propellers from the Mustang fit my Corsair (Corsair props unavailable at this time) - order extras and also from the get go - so you can fly when you're free to without having to wait for parts that commonly break/ get lost. The landing gear seems so useless that when they snap you might just fly without them rather than waste money.

Easy to learn on, fun for all.

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!
