Is this plane RTF? If it isn't, please what do I need to make it fly with controls in my hand? I'm a begginer with no clue atall.

You can get the Radian as either RTF version or Plug and Play version. RTF is minor assembly but otherwise ready to fly with included DX-5 transmitter (probably an AR 500 receiver)(Cost is $249.99). Supply your own radio and battery for the Plug and Play version, otherwise ready to fly (Cost is $159.99).

The PNP means plug and play. You need a transmitter and receiver and battery. It costs about $160. RTF means ready to fly. It includes transmitter,receiver and battery. It costs about $250. Get some help on your first flight. It is a excellent flier.

This plane is a good start if you are a beginner. You will not be able to fly this without some help from an experienced flyer. You will need a radio system an help to set up an trim the airplane.

We had a very difficult time getting this bird off the ground as a beginner too. This was a poor choice for us, but the guys who were very experienced were drooling talking about how amazing this glider was. Agreed. It was fun watching others flying it. I would not recommend for a newbie. There are other better alternatives for entry level planes.

It is RTF if you purchase the model with that comes with the transmitter and receiver. You will lots of wide open space for landings.

Negative. Flies like a quad-copter. Mine flew great for a day, the there was a communication failure between the plane and the remote. Had to return it.

The RTF version came with controller w/ AA batteries, single port battery charger (DC), 1 eflight lipo battery, and very limited parts. I purchased extra parts and have only had to replace the flybar so far.

On the ground you aim it straight down the run way. When you race the motor it starts moving forward at that point the rudder controls it side to side while moving down the runway.. in the air you can make banked turns using the ailerons and a little UP elevator so the nose don't fall and spin and crash. IF you have never flown RC you WILL crash. Get some time on a simulator first.. This plane flies great. BUT its capable of stunts. It's NOT a trainer..for more help contact me at chiefredelk at gmail dot com..Put RC air plane on the subject line. Be blessed, Chief.

Yes, the controller that came with your Champ will work. It's a 2.4Ghz DSM2 controller. The Champ is a three channel plane but the controller will bind and control a four channel aircraft like the Spitfire. Wholeheartedly recommend half rates for your first flight. The throws on the Spitfire are severe compared to the Champ. Rolls and loops are faster on full rates but the lack of expo on the stock controller makes it a bit twitchy for new pilots IMO.

Sorry - this plane doesn't fly at all. It only moves on the ground and the propeller spins. I thought it flew too when I bought it.

BNF is Bind and Fly, which means you can bind it to your controller and fly. It has one battery and no controller. My suggestion is to purchase a Spektrum DX5e transmitter with it. They are a good price point and very cheap controllers often are incredibly hard to use. If you've ever flown cheap planes you get from electronics stores, they feel like that. Also, get extra batteries!!

no, also, it's RTF (ready to fly package), but you will have to assemble wings to the main fuselage and glue in tail, but everything is included. only little assembly required that is.

The model I purchased does not come with a transmitter or receiver. It is otherwise ready to assemble wings to body and fly. There are models available with everything necessary to fly. That model is designated "RTF" ready to fly

Yeah it's a really good simulator and pretty realistic. I bought a pretty decent joystick for it too to enhance the experience. You can get one for about $20. I like using all the different plane options, and it'll also teach you patience because dinner flights last pretty long. Overall I like it a lot. You may want to take other opinions though because I don't really know much about flying or how nice other simulators are.

It uses two thumb-sticks, and several toggle switches. Definitely takes practice if you have never flown an RC plane before.

it takes a while to learn to fly. it moves very fast. it is much harder to fly than mcx2. have patience

My understanding is that for an. RC plane it is very forgiving and good to learn on. But it is not a toy and certainly does not fly itself. The advice I was given seems sound: find someone with some experience to show you the ropes. There are apparently . many RC clubs around the country you could contact. Also, be prepared for the thing to crash, sustain damage, and need to be fixed. It's not super difficult, but it is something you need to be ready for. That's just sort of "the nature of the beast" for radio controlled planes, at least as far as I understand it. It would be the same issues with any other plan you might purchase. Hope that's helpful for you! My understanding is that for an. RC plane it is very forgiving and good to learn on. But it is not a toy and certainly does not fly itself.

The manual just basically tells you how the controls work...the main thing is make sure you're in mode one and not mode two on the remote... the top left Silver button switches the mode...mode one is much easier to control...you can fly it in light wind or inside, but I would start outside in no wind to get used to it first

I have been hand launching plane. It's way cooler. I agree with Kevin though, if you have been flying micros, this is a step backwards, this plane does not have ailerons.

I found a just plane only deal on amazon, unless you can find a plane only, you will have to buy a arf kit or rtf kit.I installed a1400kv brushless motor and 2.4 radio and it flys great.

There's minimal construction required, and everything's provided in the kit. If you'd permit me to provide a little advice? This is an awesome & expensive hobby/airplane! If this is your first time flying, I'd highly recommend purchasing a computer software package that comes with a USB joystick, much like the one that came with this airplane, this investment helps you learn how NOT to wreck this awesome aircraft! Good Luck and Enjoy!
