RC Thunder says:

I’m 11 years old and I want a trainer for under $150 and my parents say I
should get something smaller well just not a huge plane but easy to fly and
this came up would you also recommend getting a new battery or no

Gamestyle2004 says:

To keep the questions from coming THIS IS A BEGINNER PLANE

RC Thunder says:

I bought it and it weighs a feather SOOOO lightweight and also the wheels
are a little small so can you get new bigger ones?

hamster ruler says:

Will the plane be able to fly in manchester in England because it is always
windy? Or will it be really hard to fly (it will be my first rc plane)!

RC Thunder says:

After flying multiple times this is amazing but it’s so sensitive to any
wind I’m taking off of cardboard but you know that’s fine and it can take
off of dirt and short grass

RC Crazy says:

40 mins the battery takes to charge i have the champ 

Minecraft King says:

nevermind

Patrick Forster says:

how long is the battery

Minecraft King says:

how long does it take for the battery to charge

coolbananaman MC says:

how long does the battery last and also how long does it take to charge

Simmzi - Norsk Minecraft & Mer says:

Battery time?

Minecraft King says:

what is a good flying field

erricko says:

lol camera angle made me scroll up a couple times…

Jordan Long says:

What’s the average flight time? Also can’t you hand launch it and land it
in grass?

mikedrz says:

I didn’t even get to fly this before the elevator broke. I had it on the
roof of my car while plugging in the battery, grabbed my Dx6i and the
slightest breeze caused it to roll down the windsheild tail first.

After I reattached the servo linkage and tried to fly it, the plane would
only stall and dive repeatedly.

Does anybody know what angle the elevator should be at when neutral
(midstick)?

Also the servo’s stopped working from one landing in the snow.

zack welch says:

I got one of these and liked it but the rudder in the back is paper thin
and easily broken it is hard to repair with normal tape as the rudder is
mainly held on with tape and a few foam connections but overall good plane

snowy511 says:

FTLOSM yes the motor does point downward, very normal. Also youll notice
that most motors are of set to the right, think it h as something to do
with the rotation but not sure, happy learning and dont forget, keep it
high so you have plenty of room for errors.

clavern adams says:

Is this a good beginners plane

Dj Petty says:

Yes my prop is the same way but it flies fine very easy to fly..but what
would be a good bigger and little bit faster plane to go to

snowy511 says:

Clavern, if you want to learn how to fly rc this is a great starting point.
I started with this and its very forgiving, tough and fun. If you are
thinking of getting into the hobby this is a great starter and it wont
break the bank if you decide its not for you. Highly recommended

Sean Eman says:

subscribe plzzzzz

clavern adams says:

Is this a good beginners plane

Ch2is86 says:

Hey, I have seen some review saying that the radio would not bind with the
airplane. Have you had any problem with that?

electricrc68 says:

cool! this plane looks like fun! i just got the micro t-28 by the way. but
i cant open it until xmas. 🙁

rcflightschool says:

@pudge1015 He said it…

David Shevchuk says:

I want to get a Champ, but I can’t seem to find the flight time. How long
does this fly on a single charge?

AussieVR4 says:

Thanks for another upload rc flight school now flight demo :)))

crazybuilder37 says:

Where did u find it?

Nacho Diaz says:

how long does it take the battery to charge?

cameron dates says:

cwents1 says:

@Rhys7137 it is a rtf (ready to fly) plane so it comes with everything even
AA batteries

Mitchell McDonald says:

47TheHitman says:

Dear Santa, I know there is a world recession going on, but my short
wishlist consists of the Traxxas Summit with extra Lipo battery, Traxxas
Spartan, and an RC heli with 4 channels.

ww3869 says:

The tail is indeed very weak! Mine broke 3 times out of the first 10 times
I’ve flown this plane, and the main wing broke during that time also.

nic de graaf says:

I have flown this plane the flight is around 7-10 minutes depending on what
you are doing with the plane this is around the time you would get out of a
micro flyer

ramis182 says:

I’ve flown a champ, and lemme tell you, it’s dead easy to fly, but it’s
tail heavy, so nose weights or moving the battery forward is needed, I
think.

Battlerobot says:

can it bind up to a spektrum radio like a dx6i

LessThenPro19 says:

Got it today cant wait for tommarrow!

Pyrosmania Comedy says:

will its hobbyzone transmitter work with the parkzone airplanes

snowy511 says:

Guys order online, get yourself some scotch double sided tape and ca glue.
Parts are dead cheap, I’ve had my champ for 3 months and its still looking
good

raul trejo says:

hello i have a question i went to my local hobbytown store and asked wich
plane its better to start with between this champ and the ares gamma 370
and was told that the 370 was my best option because im a beginner and i
like to know if someone can agree with that please help thank u in advance

carson22able says:

thats not durable i barely hit the ground and the wing ripped off

LessThenPro19 says:

i did a loop box stock

194TRAXXASRC says:

@rcflightschool could you fly this plane in the wintertime? Pleasy reply
A.S.A.P Thanks:)

rcflightschool says:

@47TheHitman haha

mickvk says:

I grew out of my Champ and wanted a little more power. Decided to try the
upgrade I’ve read about. I put in a Nine Eagles Solo Pro motor (NE 4902002)
and I’m very happy with it. Flies much faster and can pull a decent power
loop. Used to like it, now I love it!

snowy511 says:

David, my champ will easily do 10-15mins on a battery if I’m not to
throttle happy. I’ve learnt to fly on one and would recommend to anyone.
