KFRC KF603 Amphibious Land Sea Airplane Flight Test Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2023
- This amphibious three channel RC plane can take off from water or land, and is very fun to fly. I had a blast reviewing it! It's a QC101 keeper. You can find it here ban.ggood.vip/14bPz or here in the USA on Amazon amzn.to/3tMoynW
Pros
- Ready to fly, no assembly required. All needed equipment is provided, with the exception of three AAA batteries for the receiver.
- Weighs only 75 grams. This plane does not require registration in nearly all countries.
- Available in red or blue, and is constructed of crash resistant EPP foam.
- Differential thrust three channel airplane.
- By design, the plane maximizes ground effect lift to provide very short takeoffs from ground or water.
- Fully gyro stabilized. Can be flown easily by beginner pilots.
- Can be flown indoors or outdoors. Its speed and short turning radius allows it to be flown in small areas. This would also make a great indoor winter gym flier.
- Comes with THREE 3.7V 800 mah batteries, each capable of providing up to 15 minutes of flight time (I got 12 with aggressive flying).
- Controller has up to 150m range. However, you likely won't be able to see this little plane further than about 70 meters.
Cons
- Brushed motors. They will fail someday, but as it's a plane, they should last a reasonable time.
- Battery bay requires a small phillips screwdriver (provided) to open and close it.

Do you know where I can find batteries
@@erikrasmussen5804 The battery size is 902540 (9.0mm thickness, 25mm width, 40mm length). The following should work. amzn.to/49uNzTA
I was flying it today and it's a fun airplane
Sold, ordered using your link. I live in Florida between the ocean and Indian River, should be fun.
Keep up the good work. Always entertaining and informative.
Wonderful review as always,Thanks much!
Awesome ! Nice little flyer, thanks for the fun !
This is amazing!!!! I just have to get one of a these babies !!!! Thank you for such a great video just like all of your videos are...
..stay safe out there
Greetings Quadcopter 👍👋😀.
Wow 😲 a very cool drone. Fly's wonderful and so fun.
Thank you so much and God bless 🙏
Great review! Thx
I got this along with another beginner rc plane, of the two, this one is far easier to land and control. I would absolutely recommend this as the plane to start with.
Looks like fun!
I was thinking a great outdoor snow bird! Super cool ! I like it too!👊🏼✌🏼💯😃
this looks so much fun to fly :D
I had the Air Hogs version of this thing called 'Storm Launcher'.. sadly discontinued but simply fun and cheap! I might have to grab one for nostalgia's sake. They fly great for what they are.
I had one too.. fun times!
Mine arrived a couple of days ago. How cool is this little plane! So awesome to fly. Love it.
IKR? I really like mine. It's a keeper.
@@Quadcopter101 just ordered one for my flying partner. Thanks for the review - I would have not even considered lookin at one of these!
Hi did your rc plane come with three battery's
@@erikrasmussen5804 yes it did. You can specify between 2 and 3 batteries so I chose 3.
I would like to see a video where you fly it in the ground effect for an extended period.
id love to modify with longer battery life and maybe switching over to elrs and fpv. wonder if you might consider doing this?
cool vid, thanks!
Nice 60fps footage
Wonder if it could carry an all in one vtx, would be fun to FPV.
My drone was land air sea. First I had it on land. Then it flew away. And then it landed in the water. It even had a submarine mode that was't mentioned in the manual.
put ur finger in ur ass now the drone will go to space😂
that's actually pretty cool.
Yes it is. I enjoyed flying it very much. I'm keeping this one.
I was hoping you might try the "it can even come back to you if it lands in the water upside down" :D :D
First 😊 great videos
I like this one a lot! It flies great. I'm curious. Are you still using your old trusty Mobius camera on your hat to film?
Nope. I've upgraded to a new(er) top of the line $80 Akaso V50 camera (I'm just not an Apple/DJI/GoPro kind of guy). It records 4K @ 30fps. But for most of the time, I simply use 1080p @60fps (such as in this video).
@@Quadcopter101 I used to use a Yi camera then a Firefly 8s but a few years ago I upgraded to an Osmo Action and it is just so good. It was well worth the money for the EIS alone and 4k@60fps which I use for most of my videos. I do love my cheap budget action cameras especially to play around with. I'm also not an Apple guy so I use a Pixel 7 along with a Lumix DSLR and my Osmo Action. I used to hate DJI as well but it is impossible to hate them now because my Mini 2 is just so good and affordable. Nothing in that price range comes close to the Mini 2.
I think that you'll be seeing more competition this year for the Mini2, especially with the RID requirements for >250 gram drones.
@@Quadcopter101 yep and with the Mini 3 and 4 both having RID included even though DJI didn't have to include it just makes the Mini 2 more appealing. I was more of an Autel guy but my EVO died last year but I got many years of use out of it. I really needed a new drone with good range so when the Mini 2 Costco bundle came up at $399 with an extra battery, carrying case and SD card I simply couldn't pass it up at that price
Mine is arriving today. I actually purchased it to fly inside in a basketball court. Do you think it will fly slow enough? Thanks, your videos are very interesting.
To slow it down, pull back on the elevator stick, and reduce the throttle to maintain altitude. Watch how in the video I can fly very slow circles around myself by doing this.
I have one of these
1 thing that we found with the working plane is that it uses MT99XX/F949G protocol so you can run it on a Multi Radio with recent firmware. Only needed Ailerons reversed on the Jumper T-lite v2.
That's great info. I've been wanting to run this with my T-Lite. Thanks!
@@Quadcopter101 No prob, Old Mate.
Will it do a flip?
You think this can put a VTX on it for FPV?
A question Me Old Mate! The Banggood sales site blurb shows that the plane can be driven in reverse if flipped over in the drink. (I presume it would be best to do that since with the props in the water you'd want to unload the motors a bit.)
Is that just another case of BS from the Bimbo Brigade in the Banggood Art Department? Or does the manual show how to achieve it? Possibly throttle held down and 1 of the shoulder buttons held down for a few seconds like on the XiaXiu H650 Paptor(sic) Land Sea Air that we have from Bangers? 🤔
It's possible. It's just for emergency so you don't have to wade into the water if you crash. Push forward on the pitch to go forward. However left-right control is reversed when upside down.
Ah! So you just continue to drive it forward, NOT in reverse as implied by the arrow on the picture in the sales listing?
You would have to be VERY careful doing that to dodge burning the motors/driving transistors from the heavy load on them with the props in the water! 😱@@Quadcopter101
I just got one today and flipped it about 40 yards from me and it came back with decent steering upside down
@@billwalker632 Thanks Bill.
What happens when it flips over in the water? Are you stuck in the middle of the lake or is there a way you can flip it over by the controller?
The propellers work in the water too. You drive it back to you like a boat.

Liftoff at 11:50 mark.
How about on a windy day prob not so good right?
It will still fly. It does have stabilization. I had a wind about 5 mph from my back when I flew it in the field.
Now the old Air Hogs version did not have gyro stabilization. I could see that one being a problem.
Just like flying in general. I wouldn't.
Storm Launcher!
I had so much fun with mine!
I always wonder who are the genius’ who create these fun/cool toys. I loved flying drones but the guys at the flying field near me hate them. That being said I understand their stuff is way more valuable so it’s not worth it to fly around them.
But surely an exclusive Club like that has fences and armed guards to keep unwashed peasants like us well downwind of their sensitive noses? 🙄😜😁
Hello kamusta na 👏🏻
maboots!
Why, on Earth, did you decide to smack the aircraft into the bank?
My mate received 2 of these earlier this week. Tested his - worked fine. I picked up the other 1 and opened it up today. Can't get the plane to turn on!!! We tried to lodge a ticket last thing today because the claim period was running out. No working camera to hand and 👿 Banggood will not allow a ticket to be lodged UNLESS a photo (at least) is included. Have to do another trip out the bush in the morning with a camera and hope that the ticket can still be lodged! 🤬
Did you try one of the other batteries, just to make sure that it wasn't a faulty battery?
@@Quadcopter101 Yep. Both units are the 3-battery package. Tried 4 batteries, including cross-checking on the working unit. Switch seems to click but just won't turn on so no other tests can be done. The electronics are glued shut so we'll have to wait on Banggood for what they will do before going in with the wrecking bar.
Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Better update this! The dud one turned out to have a bad receiver battery lead. Not easy to fix but eventually got it bodged up without wrecking the airframe. Fun to fly when the wind dies down - a bit wonky when the storms come through! 😉😊
@@theoztreecrasher2647 And how is wind conditions not a major factor against flying ANY PLANE in general?
@@stratoleftOdd sort of comment - but certainly you will always have to scale your selection of flying toy to suit the current wind conditions.
No wind - little toys like this. Blowing a gale - switch to high power to weight wings and twins on multi cell batteries. Surprising how much breeze our little Eachine/AtomRC Flying Fish twins can handle on 3s. 😉😊
First
Yeah not registering anything
This one doesn't need it.
@@Quadcopter101 I said anything
@@Gta2O13 Good for you! Do the traffic cops pick you up often for driving an unregistered vehicle? 😉
@@theoztreecrasher2647 yeah they hate when I fly my drone outside my car driving down the highway. 😙😚
@@Gta2O13 Not what I meant Rastas! I take it that you do not register your car to drive it on the highway either? 😁
Gotta fight for your Freedumbs mate! If you give "Them" an inch they'll take a mile from us true patriots. 😉
You can’t pin me
Your credibility is shot after taking advantage of the customer service reps over that crooked DJI deal you pulled.
Looking forward to eliminating you from my watch list.
I have no idea what you are talking about? The last DJI that I've reviewed was the Spark in 2017.
What's that got to do with anything? See the blank looks on your other podcast, where you keep bragging about your Mavik scam... You have no honesty. Some poor rep probably lost his job after that stunt you pulled. You're gone. Don't ever respond to me again.@@Quadcopter101
I don't own a Mavic, and do not do podcasts. I think that you've mistaken me for someone else, or someone else claiming to be me.
Some other "Bill" who sounds like Sylvester the Cat?@@Quadcopter101
My name is not Bill. Seriously, you're mistaking me for someone else.
First
Congratulations. You were first to say First. You win a shoutout in a future QC101 video. Again, congratulations!
@@Quadcopter101yay!
