Brother 101. You taught me how to fly drones about 20 drones ago. I learned to trust your advice over the years and buying this as my first rc plane will be no exception. I got away from the flight hobby about 2 years ago... need some stick time! Thanks for what you do man.
I love your reviews, here in the UK the weather is often too wet to fly, but it is great to watch you flying your models in the desert. I have just bought a Volantex 600 and it flies great on the hills of the South cotswolds. Thanks for the recommendation.
Got this for my kiddo. Love this dang thing! First plane was AeroScout mini. Honestly,id say this is better for rookies comparing the two. The gyro function makes it so much easier to enoy flying for veginners. My 8year old loves it
Excellent video. Thank you because I am highly considering this one. Did you have to make any changes on any of the controls for this so that the servos would move the elevator or rutter to make it fly better?
The initial climb makes me think the battery should have been farther forward. I did not know the 959 did not have gyros. I'm glad I did my research first. I almost bought it and would have been disappointed. I want one for training friends, so gyros are a must.
Hi, I love your reviews, I recently bought one of these after watching. I notice you having problems with your one key return feature - it appears that on reading the manual you need to set this up before take off - and before arming the throttle control.I Mike
Excellent video Quadcopter. I have a question for you since I am very interested in your Sky King glider also that you were showing on the ground. Do you have a video of that that one on youtube also? How would you rate in compared to the Volantex 600? My big question is who is the manufacturer of the transmitter that came with your Sky King model? Thanks for any info. I am just trying to get back into this hobby.
Actually, I have quite a few videos of my F959 ua-cam.com/channels/90A4JdsSoFm1Okfu0DHTuQ.htmlsearch?query=f959 It comes ready to fly with its own WLToys transmitter. But I fly it these days with my T8SG multi-protocol transmitter.
I forgot to ask you but do you feel the EPP foam on the Volantex RC is better than the EPO foam on the sky king? I was just wondering what you thought about these two types of foam. Also, did you feel on the Volantex model that the transmission distance was too limited with that 100m distance as advertised? Thanks again. I am on the verge of ordering one or the other today.
I put the tiny AKK A1-OSD AIO FPV camera on the nose of mine, it's fun! This camera gives me flight time+pilot name+voltage in the OSD which is nice. Needed two 1" screws into the rear of the fuselage to offset the weight.
@@protonus Neat FPV solution. Also where & when did you get yours? The Gearbest link is useless - never in stock & never ship. They do swallow your money quite speedily though! ;-)

That volantex stabiliser is pretty good and the range of planes is also pretty neat. One question though. The original 761-1 allowed one to do loops in the mid-stabilised mode and yet on both this review and the previous 761 review you switched into the manual setting to do that(?) Have they changed the settings or were you just demonstrating the manual mode?
In the review of the V761-3 Piper Cub, I switched it to mid-stabilized mode and it wouldn't let me roll it. I automatically assumed that it wouldn't let me loop it also. But really, all of these V761's are great trainer planes. The stabilization systems are neat, but not really needed. Simply letting go of the pitch roll stick quickly levels them from their dihedral alone.
Can't disagree with that last The stab systems are great for beginners as a confidence booster but hardly necessary unless the wind gets feisty. I have to admit I never did manage to roll my Trainstar in any mode except when getting it to launch upside down. But I was looping it on the first flight in stab 2
Does it fly without the motor running? If it doesn't fly very long or very far without the electric motor running, then how can it be labeled and classified as a glider? A true glider (sailplane), is designed to fly almost continuously without a motor by only using thermolifts' and air waves.
Nice video 👍 and great flying. By the way, do you know, is this plane able to bind with Jumper Tx? If does,ay I know which protocol should be using? Appreciate your help in advanced
has anyone tried modifying one of these? They fly decently with the assists off, but it needs a little more rudder and elevator authority. More deflection would be nice, But I am considering adding 1/4" length to the control surfaces. But I worry that maybe the tiny servos won't move larger control surfaces. But if they could, that would grant it much more control.
I have a question. I just bought one of these and the elevator controls seam to be working in reverse. When I pull back it goes down, when I push forward it goes up. Is there any way to change this?
Yes, and it should be an easy fix too. Connect the plane to the controller, but do not arm the motor yet with an up/down on the throttle sick. Instead hold the elevator stick up or down and hold it in that position for a few seconds until you hear a beep (that should reverse the control). Then arm the motor with an up down movement of the throttle stick to set the controls. It should work normally now. Note that the other controls for yaw and roll can similarly be reversed in the same manner.
I bought one today and I listing an hour after I got it as it wouldn't turn and the gyros are a curse as it flew 7.8 miles away because the bloody gyros kept it in the air. I will never get one of these gliders again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is considering it

Great video . I bought this glider but didn't have a clue about flying it. Now I do ...thank you for the information.....
Quadcopter 101 is my favorite rc channel...been watching u sense i started getting into rc planes,thanks for ur vids
Love the video, have recently bought one of these to go with my Trainstar, both great little trainers as you say.😊

Excellent video. Thank you because I am highly considering this one. Did you have to make any changes on any of the controls for this so that the servos would move the elevator or rutter to make it fly better?
Nope. I always demonstrate how the plane or drone flies out of the box.
The initial climb makes me think the battery should have been farther forward.
I did not know the 959 did not have gyros. I'm glad I did my research first. I almost bought it and would have been disappointed. I want one for training friends, so gyros are a must.
The 959 doesn't have gyros but it does have auto leveling, cost half the price, and is bigger.

Looks a great slow flying plane for a beginner.

Hol long is thing flying? The battery is very small. ^^
Can you use your own transmitter for this?

Hi, Thanks for the review .... I wonder if it glides well too motor off ??
Thank you for your fine review! Great footage!
Fantastic demo! I've ordered one!
Wonder if the Jumper can bind to this.
I have got this plane and love it very easy to fly .
Me to😀
What are the main differences between the ranger 600 and 400....is it just size or are there other features that 600 has over the 400?
I am confused about this being a glider. I never heard the motor turn off and fly on thermals.
Could you make a video on how to connect another controller to it?
Look like it could be an interesting FPV platform.

@@theoztreecrasher2647 I got the plane, the camera, and the batteries all on Amazon!
@@protonus Thanks, but unfortunately those that are reasonably priced do not ship to Australia. The Australian Amazon site is pretty pathetic yet.
wich one is better this model or the duet s2?
Sir, do you think it’s possibme to add an AIO fpv camera to this without any issues? What’s the range of thr Plane?

I think the range is about 80meters or something
How does this compare to the A800?
How long does the battery last for
Will it do a roll?
Actually have one on order

Glides very well for the price !!

My up seems not to be working ): Anything I can do about it?
Is there any movement of the elevator when you push the right stick up or down?
@@Quadcopter101 Hey, yeah I found it out, the 2 little rods that pull and push where both trough one hole, I separated them and it worked worked :D .
Nice video 👍 and great flying.

Nice flyer.
Woohoo first.... Finally
Dooley Curl no no I’m first haha 😂
Congratulations. You were the first to say First. You win a shoutout in a future QC101 video. Again, congratulations!
I have the same plane just different brand and it is great
brilliant
Not bad
Nice 👍
Nice Air
Anyone else do Ranger Racing in Ireland
Nice
Its pronounced A JA YEE A BEE O DOON
First and first to like to beat it up
