A560 RTF

Amazing performance

I bought this A560 trainer to learn. First time pilot here. I ended up buying this kit without the controller because I wanted the AT10ii transmitter. This way I can easily switch between different aircraft as I grow into this hobby. First time assembly was a breeze. In order to work with the AT10ii though, you must upgrade the receiver. I bought the R9DS receiver and PRM-01 telemetry module so I could get battery life alerts. Everything is basically plug n play with a little research and reading all the manuals. See my pics to see how I mounted everything. So far I have several hours flight time now. It's amazing how much confidence you gain from the flight controller. I programmed the AT10ii to match the stock controller switches so changing modes is fairly easy. The AT10ii even displays what mode you're in. I normally takeoff in beginner mode, do a few passes, then switch to more advanced modes to practice different tricks and landing. Despite what other reviews say, this thing is TOUGH! I am a total beginner. So I crash, a lot. I have full-throttle dive-bombed the runway, a fence, a boulder, the runway, the runway again, and a bush. Each time I crash, I fully expect this plane to be beyond repair, but a little hot glue or some of the reinforced packing tape (comes in the kit) and your up and flying in no time. Its way more abuse than a delicate balsa kit is capable of sustaining (I just built a Dumas Waco YMF-3 and there is absolutely no way it could fly after a crash without serious surgery). I have broken the A560 wings, ailerons, fuselage multiple times, and 3 propellers. After a quick repair, it still keeps on going! I know by the end of summer it'll be mostly hotglue and tape but that's the whole point of a trainer.. learn the hard way and don't trash a much more expensive plane trying to learn. The motor has taken several direct hits and it's incredible how tough it is. Needless to say, I really enjoy flying this plane. The YouTube videos dont oversell how much fun it is to do all sorts of tricks. I never thought I'd get so into this hobby, but it's so much fun! Obviously, I have a long ways to go in learning to fly, but I just had to write this review because the toughness is really incredible. I would recommend extra batteries (one of my worst impacts caused a LiPo to puff up) and extra propellers and O rings. Trust me. You'll need them if you're new to the hobby. It's worthwhile to calibrate it too (see instructions) otherwise you'll be trimming like crazy and switching modes does funky stuff without a proper calibration. One other thing: if the plane does a weird wobbly dance in the wind, you need to adjust the linkage on the aileron servo by moving the connection point to the furthest inside hole (there's a YouTube video on it) .. 100 percent resolved. You lose a little bit of travel angle of the aileron, but its still very nimble.

Excellent

comme je le disais cet avion et genial il et solide maniable tres facile a piloter avec different mode de vol 6 aux total genial donc aussi bien pour ceux qui debutte que pour les pilote confirmer il et fourni avec une valisette etanche qui permet de le transporter partous quelque minute suffise pour le demonter et aller voler sur votre terrain favoris de plus fourni avec 2 batterie et franchement je peut dire que je me suis pris quelque crash et franchement il vole toujour les piece sont toute disponible facilement sur le site officiel Radiolink je recommande fortement

Top Flugzeug für Anfänger!

My son has many model planes and is very good with flying all kind of different models. This one never even lifted off and broke directly in half, fragile construction which holds together only with some clips on top. Very disapointed! He had planned to even make a presentation in school for it. It just looked too good and the reviews were too nice. No idea for what reason???? Made in China
