LEAMBE RC Plane, 3 Modes Easy Control, One-Key U-Turn, Foam Material, Adults & Kids

If you are like me and remember growing up wanting to fly an R/C plane, but was hesitant because of the learning curve and fear of crashing it within 10 minutes of flying it, have no fear. I came across these by chance, and after reading all the great reviews, decided to take a chance. I figured with the value of the dollar these days, $100.00 wasn’t gonna sting as bad if I got 1 use out of it. I cannot give this product enough praise. If you are on the fence, I promise you won’t be disappointed. More than likely, once you’ve had the chance to fly the plane, you’ll be ordering another for a friend or family member to join you. These planes come with everything you need to fly right out of the box. I highly recommend purchasing additional batteries and another charger. I found a deal on here that came with 5 batteries and a charger for less than 15 bucks. The secret to these planes is in the tech. You have 3 levels of flight control making it suitable for extreme beginners to more seasoned pilots. The gyro allows you to get familiar with flying and as you progress gives you more and more control until you’re ready to fly manually with no help. The range is outstanding and the plane responds flawlessly. Beginner mode to intermediate mode is a quick transition. Intermediate mode gives you much more control and freedom, and keeps you engaged and wanting to keep flying. Advanced mode is why you never bought one in the first place, but now you have the ability to ease into it. I’ve had this for a few months and have crashed it multiple times, got it stuck in trees and it still flys like a champ. One other thing I do recommend is a tube of the styrofoam glue. The plane is made from a dense styrofoam and as durable and well built as it is, some crashes do more damage than others, but fear not, a little glue and you’re back up in the air in no time. Pull the trigger, you won’t be disappointed.

This plane, and frankly any of the other similar versions of the same (whether it be from Leambe/Volantex/Rage RC), all perform exceptionally well for their size. They can take a bit of wind, the stabilization handles exceptionally well, and boy can they take a beating. I now own two, this model and the Corsair from Rage RC. Both fly about the same, can't tell much of a difference. This one can fly marginally slower than the corsair due to the wing structure. As for the abuse, I flew this one at about 2/3 throttle into a goal post trying to be fancy. It connected with the inner leading edge of the right wing, prop flew off, plane spiraled about 20 feet away.. slapped the prop back on and away it flew. Both this and the Corsair have taken enough abuse that eventually the wing assembly began to separate from the fusealage. In both cases, I took a hobby knife to them, made a clean cut along the seam, and using Foam-Tac glue, I tacked both wing assembles back on and they both continue to be a joy to fly. What's great about these little planes, is you don't really need much space to fly. Once you've developed your skills enough, they can be flown in a pretty small space. Of course, having more room is more enjoyable, but not necessary. To try and simulate a test on how much load the wings can bear, I took my corsair into a vertical nose dive from ~100 feet up, at full throttle, and pulled out of the dive at about 20 feet off the ground. Zero issues. I love these little planes. Two of my buddies have since purchased a similar version (from Leambe i think?) and they both love em. I've since started getting into larger planes (my first being the Carbon Cub S2) which is also a lot of fun to fly, but in a way, I think I like these little ones better simply due to their versatility. Anyway, enough ranting. I hope this review helps. I know it would have helped me before buying, but if you're interested at all in trying out RC planes, for ~$100-$110 all in, these are incredibly fun, and boy howdy do they look good flying. If you do purchase, check out some of the 5-pack battery/multi-charger combos using the 400mah battery packs. If the connecter looks the same, they'll work, and will let you enjoy flying near continuously for an afternoon. Great starter planes, I hope this helps people make an informed decision. Just keep in mind, the other 400mm planes are all basically the exact same thing should you like another model better. good luck have fun

This was fun. Got it for my grandson who is crazy about planes and he loved it. We crashed the heck out of it and only broke one of the landing gear off, which I was able to repair myself, and it’s still flying. I’d but it again.

A lot of fun and easy to fly. Great for the beginner

Absolutely amazing. Hard to believe something so fun and well designed is available at this price point. Very impressed!
