You look like such a happy person and your videos are actually entertaining. you are how all youtubers should be
Thanks Ethan! I love doing this!
Great video. I loved your commitment to getting it to fly indoors. This was the plane that got me in the hobby 4 months ago. When I got it I thought it would always be my only plane and how here I am looking to buy my 7th plane. Every plane that rolls in my wife’s eye roll a little more.
I totally KNOW the feeling. That's haw you get hooked :)
Hallo. Brian Philips,and Crow, Megan. I have,the p40 and I love 💕 it .. I lost my spitfire. Åh no, but I vil bye this plain. But . Brian Philips,rc , how come,s that I can't find the p51 RTF 750 mm. How come,s . plies, tell me.mvh Rene'Pedersen Danmark.😊. I love to see you r, video s . Wherry 👍.
Thanks!
Great video! You can learn something reading the manual throughly before flying your plane. 😂😂
The Chinese manual - LOL - you won't learn much there. From experience, they're some of the least helpful manuals ;)
By far, the funniest video ever!! 😂 incredible indoor flight 👏
Thanks - glad you enjoyed the indoor "Flights" ;)
Okay okay your husband has finally lost it... send him to the nut Hut...😅😅😅😅
Are you addressing my wife, or me???
BAAAHAHAHAHA , man when i first seen the mods i bursted out laughing so hard hahahaha
Excellent!!!
Enjoy your video. Trying to learn to fly and getting there with SAFE but it falls out of the sky without it. Is it stable in this mode or is it just me?
SAFE makes everything easier, but gotta keep speed up and keep the plane in a proper attitude so you can keep the wing providing lift. It's just a hard skill that takes time to learn - when you GET IT, you'll understand just how amazing the skill really is to have. I hope you get it soon!!! Keep at it, Tom!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks I will keep trying. Luckily it is a tough little plane.
That looks like it flies really well, another thing added to my "to buy" list 😂
Sweet! You'll love it, and if you have a HUGE enough house, you can fly inside!!! ;)
It's a long video to watch all of it, so the answer may be in it but anyway can anyone tell me if it is mode 2 and mode 1 as required? Thanks.
Mode 2 as I ordered it.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian.
This looks like a OEM knock off of the old horizon hobby one. Always thought the cubs are cool.
Nahhhh.... Of all the things Volantex RC could be knocking off, this would not be it. You gotta remember, Horizon Hobby and every other manufacture has made a Cub. They're just a popular plane, so everyone wants an RC version. Plus they generally fly well, since it's a good full scale design.
This thing looks nice....Almost Identical to the Hobbyzones Cub Sport S. Look at the Decal on the Rudder......Im lookin at mine now and the screen and they look exactly the same. Looks like a Copy. Defenetly Different but Dang does it ever look like a HH Knock off lol. Id like yo use the Gear and Wing struts from this and swap to my Cub Sport. The battery hatch is a better desgin than Hobbyzone as well as thr gear box. In some ways I think this seems more durable? Put the Hobbyzone rx into this make it 2s lights flaps Bush Wheels from the Umx Timber....lol. These Little knock off planes dont look half bad....Im suggesting a few to my cousin for his first plane. Imo looks better than The Sport cub S. That Decal on the Rudder lol Cant believe they Knocked that off lol. Thanks Brian and Camera Crew.......
Miller, it's not a copy of Horizon Hobby, it's a copy of a REAL one ;) I have the Horizon Hobby Sport Cub S, and it's way nicer, but this one will give it a run for it's money in a couple areas...
1) Cheaper!!!
2) Better Battery connector...the Losi Connector is a better style. More surface area than Micro JST PH...which means your lipo will last a bit longer (more cycles, and faster charge and discharge potential)
3) WAY more robust. Look how many times I crashed it!!!
4) Smaller...some would say this is NOT a selling point, but depends on your preference.
5) Did I mention Cheaper?!? LOL
6) This one will fly in more than a couple mph wind!!!
Sure, the Horizon Hobby planes are easier to and better flying in general, and they look more scale. They are more expensive to fix, but you CAN get parts. They have better packaging. Better landing gear, steerable tail dragger wheel.
I agree, good option for a first plane, or a 237th plane ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the reply Sir.....Did you notice how The decal on the Rudder is a Spitting image of the Cub Sport S lol?
yeah, but it's the same a as a REAL full scale too...
Here's just one example...
images.app.goo.gl/Y8Q8b7XPFD3U7iUk7
...the sport cub is super popular in full scale aviation circles too....not just in RC, but it is also super popular in our circles.
Just purchased this plane as my first RC and welllll on its maiden voyage it got taken by the wind and landed on someone’s roof 🤣 best part was trying to explain to the owner what had happened. Note to self do not fly in windy conditions!
For god sakes Do Not charge your lipo in your dog 😂
EXACTLY!!!
Dang Eddie Munster aka Brian, You Were A Bit Harsh On The Cute Lil Cub At 1st!? It's Kinda A Baby Carbon Z, Butt Nose Like A Kit-Fox & It's Almost An Exact Hor-Sport Cub In Orange & Not In Blue... LOL OMG Did Y'alls Torture Tested This One Really G@@D!!! I Think It's Most Hilarious Video w/Bloopers You've Ever Made! LMFAO Many Times!!! Thanks PS Price Went Up To $76 Butt Still A G@@D Deal... ;~)P
Not with the COUPON code ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Ahhh-Hahhh, Great Deal! Butt I'll Keep My Free Carbon Cub Z SS 2.1M & They Sent Me A 4K & 5K mAh 4s To Fly Her With Also... ;~)P
WHAT?!?! You lucky DOGG
Don't chop your right hand off...it might be handy for other things - LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yea, Yea, I Know, Like Typin & Workin My Lil Mousey! I Will Definatly Add A Throttle Cut On TX Also, Since I Gots A New CF 16" Prop For Her & I Don't Wanna Pull A "Brian" As You Did At 27:19 & Kill SomeOne or Thing While Explainin Beginner Safety Uses, Ohhh Master Dweeb You!!! LMFAO :~)P
I used to have one like this but a diffrent design shape but still the same type of motor with the gears but after some flying my gears started to melt and then basicly the prop wouldnt spin
I would definitely love to buy that plane. My wife won’t let me get any more planes and I’m trying to think of a way to buy it and not let her know I got it. So it’s gonna be hard for me to send away for it she’ll kill me. I wish my Hobby Shop carried it, this way I could just go buy it and not let her find out about it but knowing her she will. She is really freaking out with all my planes. She even gets upset when I send away for parts. So listen Brian And camera crew, what do i do? I’m actually afraid of her😂
I get it..New toy, dark out, bummer...but face it man, it's not for indoor flight no matter what you do! lol! ;) But I appreciate your enthusiasm for sure. Seems a little smoother outside than that gorgeous little yellow cub.
Nice better then spectrum
I wouldn't say it's better. There's tradeoffs on this compared to the Sport Cub S2 UMX, but this is a great plane TOO ;)
I kinda wanted a small glider, but this one looks great too! Bet it could thermal in lite conditions.
I have both this and the p51. With mine i have to plug the battery in then turn on controller to bind and set gyro's. The opposite of any eflite plane. Plus you can reverse controls pretty easily
I knew it!!! I had some guy telling me I was crazy, but you must have also read the manual!!!
They both fly very well for economy RC planes. I'm super impressed with the Sport Cub 500, in particular.
You actually reversed the servo earlier in the video when you where checking the surfaces... (15:11) I think you can hear the beep then the surfaces swapped
WHAT?!?!?
Yup. 15:13 stick right, ailerons left.
Good catch! Yep, he did. :-) But, he may have done it on purpose. To show how to reverse it back. But Brian, throttle in min, not mid position.
OohH-Yeeeeeea!
Can't wait for mine. Awesome scale touchdowns with hangtime flare Dude.
Unreal show Hotdog.
Thanks!
As always well done. Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends from hillbilly RC'n from Tennessee Edward and Gloria. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family
Thanks guys - Merry Christmas to you guys too! Hope you're out freezing your butts off flying too!!!
Oh my God I can't believe he put masking tape on the plane wings...yep.. he has totally lost it.. time to take him to the pawn shop...😆😆😆😆😆😆😆... and I bet he will break the prop off Beyond repair
...
Hi Brian thanks for the review looks just fine for a beginner....and delivery with minimal packaging 😂
Best wishes Chris
I was super disappointed there wasn't a highly protective self adhesive garbage bag...can I even call it an "unboxing"????? LOL
Indoor?
LOL - big enough space - sure ;)
This video actually made my wife laugh, especially when your camera crew said you were crazy! lmao
I'm glad to entertain you guys!!!
Hello Brian, is that ice build up on the elevator? It's 60 degrees in California! LOL. Another cool little plane. Now if it was a large C-130 in NOAA I would buy one. Great review, good little flyer.
Somewhere on the tube is a video of a bird of prey attacking an RC plane in the air. I forgot who won!
I've seen it too ;) One of these days, I'll get a Bald Eagle to attack a plane, and it's gonna be EPIC!
Yes, Ice Buildup FOR SURE :) You can't tell in the video, but my hands were like in major pain!!!
I have this plane! I seen somebody hook up FPV camera up to it. Also in some of your videos these little planes have an empty socket that u could utilize? Also I like the bag electronics are affected by saltwater and humidity I guess the bag is to help protect them from getting damp along their slow boat from China!
yes, that is fine to use for FPV camera, but really, you can steal power from the ESC, the flight pack, or any active channel, if you wish. Power to the FPV gear might be different than your flight pack, though, so double check this to avoid frying the pcbs ;)
I just recieved this plane in the mail today and mine were reversed. So thank you soo much for ur help.
I'm glad you didn't have to try to read the useless manual ;) Thanks for watching Chase!
Hey Bri. not your fault at all - a bit frustrating but as you say there may be customs reasons for it. Those H8 connectors you call Lowcee? can you link to a site so I can get some female connectors to make an adaptor for my charger
yes, here's a few links...
Can you buy Banggood? - bit.ly/3ebPSyp (this is the best I could come up for WITHOUT A BATTERY)
Amazon? - amzn.to/2CgzzD3
Awesome review! Seems like a great choice for a beginner! Would you recommend to get the Volantex RC - Sport Cub 500 or the Eachine Mini Mustang P-51D?
BOTH are good options, but I think the Sport Cub 500 just edges out the P-51. You could do either one, in my opinion.
@@BrianPhillipsRC so the VolantexRC-Sport Cub 500 is better than the P-51? because of the size?
i’m wondering this too, the sport cub 500 and this is what i’m looking at
It’s look great fly, does it’s transmitter can use with Volantex 768? And can this plane flying indoor around 10 meters square?
Yeah, it's great! That's gonna be a tight flying area, but possible you could. As for the transmitter....I don't know. They change the protocols, so even if you hear you can, you need to just TRY IT, or you're likely to be disappointed.
Kids, that's a plane that won't fly well indoors OR outdoors. It will fly only on TH-cam 😅😅
What are you talking about???
Hello Brian..I don't know what to say😂..I had to watch this review on the SC.500 again ... it cracks me up... cheers mate really appreciated...I'm trying my sc500 out in the morning in our large Wearhouse ... I'll definitely try a few control surface mods.... Thanks Brian. kind regards Dave 😁
Awesome! Did you fly it in the living room??? ;)
My God ...my God ..now he has turned it into a masking tape airplane...😳😳😳😖😖😖
yes
Glad to see you & your "camera man" back at it! I figured you would like the way the Sport Cub would fly but wasn't thinking you'd try flying it in your beautiful house! That was funny to watch! The outside flight was great, too bad it was so cold.
I have the same plane but in yellow & white, rebranded by TopRace for Amazon, TR-C385. Its really a Volantex 671-4 just like yours. I was blow away with Volantex's stability system. Like you mentioned, its better than SAFE. You have more freedom to do things but still have leveling. That makes flying so much more relaxing & fun.
Do yourself a favor and bind it to your Jumper with....get this....protocol v761, same as Volantex's model number. With the winter season here, take some time to learn something new, your Jumper.
I might just have to try that with the Jumper, especially on this little beauty.
Thanks for the advice, Bert105
how do you change the part that the prop attaches too, mines broken
Thank you guys. Hey was that the "Boyin" in the closet ? lol
Yep, good ole Boy-Ying ;) That plane needs to fly so badly!!! BUT, weathers gotta be GOOOD for that plane!
I ask myself, what Brian does with all these planes. Brian has basically every day another new plane. Where do you store all that stuff ?
Still trying to figure that out - everywhere!!!
That's what I call the patience of joab on your behalf and also the perseverance of the camera crew ( your good lady) providing us with a spectacular rc channel, many thanks, regards, Alan, uk.
She is a saint!
That's hilarious! I get some stuff from them sent to me the same way lol. The first time was a 10th scale truck. I was like damn not even trying to deter prying eyes lol.
yes, got another one today, glad it isn't for the kids Christmas presents!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC hahaha right
Where did u get it at
Please read the description :)
Hey Brian. Love your reviews, dont know how the camera crew hold it together like she does...lol. wondering if you could put a link down for the the Mucilage you use. Having trouble finding the right one. Thanks!
I can share it here for you. Mucilage is one of those magical items that's only found in the deepest recesses of China....
BUT, it appears to be out of stock at the moment...
hobbyking.com/en_us/clear-foam-glue-medium-cure-large-100ml.html
My sport cub reprogrammed itself to 3 channels. How do I get my ailerons back?
I had this happen on the Eachine P-51. Watch that video, right at the maiden....and I fix it there...but I can't remember what I did.
I listened to this multiple times and I'm sure I heard 7 huge sighs of relief from the chicken coop. Somebody gifted this plane to me recently. I'm looking forward to flying it once the plague turns loose of humanity and house arrest is finally lifted. I did get an Inum (transmitter needs some work) so I will be flying in the house soon enough. My wife is really really happy about that.
LOL!!!!!
Hey Bri. Bangood wont ship their Lipo batteries to UK - Those battery connectors are H8 !
I'm sorry Brian!
Is that easy fly too
Easy to fly, and flies GOOD too...you can have easy to fly and Bad flying. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it's a thing.
I orderd one an flew It 2 Batteries long... I'm a newbie and it was awesome! I hope the Motor can be easily changed when He died...
It can be, even if you need to cut it out, it will be an easy fix when you go to put it back.
Well, thanks to your video, I bought this plane and flew for the first time yesterday. It went really well, had a lot of fun. Now I'm checking the weather for the next calm day, so I can fly again. I flew whit no wheels on it and had to adjust the elevator trim a lot, I'll try whit wheels on next time. Thanks for all the fun. It's my first plane, sure won't be the last.
Great to hear! Wheels are going to be a bit amount of nose weight, so might want to keep them on ;) Good luck!
Bruh that windshield fluid looks like juice mmmmmm tasty no offense
I know, the purple looks good!!! BUT, it will kill you if you drink it :(...
ความพยายามสูงมาก บินในบ้าน ผมชอบเลย😮
You should try the RTH function. I’d like to see what it does. It’s probably just flies back in the general direction of your starting point or maybe just reverses direction. Either way it might be a good bailout option if you are flying too far away (and worried of a flyaway due to disconnect) or about to crash into a tree or building.
I don't disagree that it COULD be helpful, but I've played with features like this, and they always seem to give a very false sense of security. My primary concern is that when you get to flying a plane like this, you really have to fly it to overwhelm the wind, at times, and I fear this is the condition where one would end up trying to use a bailout feature...then you'll basically lose any chance of controlling the plane back to yourself, and instead you'll be 75 feet high in a tree somewhere.
Just my two cents. Don't mean to put you off Gimp Man. Maybe I'll give it a shot on a nice calm day to see how it work.
Brian Phillips You are probably right. Just like to see it. Besides it’s better you put it in a tree than me. lol
OK a trip to Walmart a pack of Post It Notes, you’re GOOD TO GO. FUNNY
Danny
Exactly!!!
You see I told him he was going to crack something..😅😅😅
I sure did
Really like your reviews. Do you know the size of the connecting pins for the 2 servos 1mm , 1.5mm or other ? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!1
No idea Sorry Alex.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks!!!
I flew mine a few times now, and really like it. It's not as agile as the Mustang, but flies nice and smooth. I already fly most of the time in Expert mode with it. I did have to adjust the landing gear, so it sits higher from the ground, as first landings the prop would often touch the ground, and pop off, even on a decent landing. Another issue that I have with this, and even more with the Mustang, is that it wants to climb out in Expert mode. I did trim the elevator to sit level with transmitter in Expert mode, so not sure if I should add some more down trim, or it's just a little tail heavy with stock battery.
Try doing a mechanical adjustment, then test in Expert mode...Beginner mode will basically ignore your adjustment, and if this continues, recal the gyro when you're done with the mechanical adjustment.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I could trim the elevator down a little more, either with the buttons or bending the rod. When you have your plane in Expert mode, and elevator stick centered, is the elevator fully neutral or slightly down? I'm a bit reluctant to make adjustments, as on low throttle, in Expert Mode, it flies pretty much level, and is very relaxing. When I add a little throttle, that's when it wants to climb.
another great video, thanks
have you reviewed the XK A430? Id love to see your opinion of that
Not yet! But I plan to do it at some point.
You should try to fly the Habu in the house. I’m sure the camera crew would be OK with that.
I need a bigger house...
FYI shipping regulations on batteries are different if they are "Installed" hence putting the battery in the plane and radio for shipment.
yes, someone mentioned that, and I didn't realize. Thanks for the heads up!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖
thanks!
@@BrianPhillipsRC อยากเล่น
I just bought this plane (under a different brand name) this Saturday. Today I crashed like 30 times and couldn't figure out why this plane doesn't want to fly. Then I remembered, that you reviewed this plane and saw your solution :D THANK YOU BRIAN.
So glad I could help you out Nico! Was yours WLToys or Eachine?
@@BrianPhillipsRC "Modster" - a rebranding from the biggest hobby store in the German/Austrian/Switzerland region ;)
Hello Brian😉😉😉🍻🍻🍻🍻😁😁😁Great video
Thanks Master!
...when you said, let's get rid of the elephant in the room..., i was like woohh,..who was he implying...
it's been a long time since we filmed, so I'm sorry I can't remember what I said...
Brian, it almost looks like the the horizon Champ that I have. That’s a super easy plane to fly. (In no wind)
This plane is very similar to the Horizon Hobby Sport Cub S UMX. The Camp is only 3 channel :) This plane, interestingly enough seems to edge out Horizon Hobby on a few details...but I still LOVE my Sport Cub S UMX. It's how I learned to fly!!!
thanks for stopping by Bryan!
come on Brian land it on the counter!
Can you do barrel roles and circle flips this plane? Also does it offer a safety switch to bring it back and lastly what is max flight time?
yes, in expert mode you can do any maneuver that the motor will allow enough power for. When in Beginner mode, you can let go of all the controls and the plane will level off and keep flying, provided you are carrying enough speed to keep from stalling. This is a GREAT beginner plane!
@@BrianPhillipsRC awesome I appreciate your fast response and help!
You kill me! So dang entertaining! Thanks for the good time.🤣
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
The battery is put inside the plane, because then it can be shipped as "built in battery" and less restrictions apply. The same battery outside the plane, stuck in one of the openings in the foam, would be considered a seperate battery, and then shipping gets more complicated. It's not logical, but sadly the way ii is. With my P51 mini Mustang 2 of the 2 batteries were in the transmitter battery bay, probably for the same reason.
That totally makes sense!!! I love learning new useless information just like this (seriously!!!!). TH-cam is such a wonderful place!!!
Thanks RC-Fan NL!
P.S. I'm working on importing some freight from China OR India, and it's insane how much work and money it's gonna take to get it from there to here!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah, some of those shipping regulations are a pita. Since these strict rules for batteries were applied, it's gotten harder to get batteries, and more often a BnF quad no longer comes with a battery, due to this. Because shipping cost with battery is much higher than without, unless it's "built-in". So if you like a spare lipo battery shipped, it's going to cost a lot, but suppose that same battery comes installed in a flashlight, it's all good, and it can be shipped with regular shipping, and just a warning sticker on the box, or so. It's the same sense as when you buy a foam plane from eflite or so, and a spare wing costs about half or more of the price of an RTF.
yep, kind of amazing how small the world has gotten. I can order almost anything and have it in a day or two....soon w will be talking hours with a new Amazon distribution center within a few miles, and a fulfillment center just a few more miles from there!
@@BrianPhillipsRC 2 days, that's great, here's it's more like 2 weeks, unless you pay for express shipping, that might cost more than the item you have ordered. Consider yourself privileged to get things this fast, and soon maybe even faster, considering the new distribution centers you mentioned. Not having to wait for weeks when you need something, is huge. Here you always have to plan ahead, to have the things you need by the time you need it.
I friggen love you guys and your interaction combined with your tenacity of overcoming such a small airspace that would barely even accommodate my Night Vapor. LOL I LOVE this channel!!!!!! I finally subbed even though I very rarely do that. My stomach started hurting at " It landed perfectly in the pantry!" LOL OK dude.. I'm sold. Going to your link right now!!!!!!!!! Thank you for this fantastic review!! AMAZING crash ability. I'm going to use this for FPV in my limited front yard/street. Even will put Night Vapor lights on it. Update.. It's $45.91 shipping plus the 78 bucks. Nope,,,,, Sticking with my HZ underpowered Sport cub S. Dang it!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you loved it! Thanks for subscribing ;) I want to have it flying better in the living room, but that huge BALL light in the dining room was a magnet for this plane. I think I hit it about 358 times! I was seriously contemplating getting out a ladder and pulling it up a few feet...the lights over the island move up and down, so I can actually adjust them out of the way, but they just didn't cause an issue!
If this plane was about 1/3 lighter, it would fly around with ease... Also, I think the pitch of the prop is a bit aggressive to fly super slow. If I heated the prop and bent the root of each blade a bit more flat, I bet I could make this plane an inside flyer. I just want to fly it on a nice day. I bet it'll be really fun out there!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I found this link, but it doesn't support you. Still might do it here. It has SOOO much more power than the SCS and durability. WOW!!!!

Picked up this exact same plane, wanted the Arrows Pioneer but is out of stock until possibly October per Hobbyzone.. absolute newbie except for flying a Mavic Mini drone (which practically flies itself). First flight I stuffed it into a tree-had to go home and get a pole to get it down..completely undamaged, went on to have a great flight.. flew it again today and had a good time, flipped into the grass a few times-again undamaged.. lots of fun, glad it's not a heaver/bigger (1.2+meter) plane.. nice and quiet, slow flies well-it like calm conditions... I can see a bigger Bush style plane later, but this is perfect for now..! recommend painting the prop to make it easier to find as it will likely pop off EVERY landing in grass-or trees ;)
Is there any way I can buy this plane online without the remote??
I don't know that you can. Sorry!
Great video, I like the way you explain everything I know it helps a lot more than just me😆😆😆 I have always liked those little Cubs, and I think if you had a barn you have flown it in there know problem. I'm weighting to see if someone make an A10,and you do a review on it. Those things are really and super stunty.
You mean an A-10 Tank Killer??!??!? (Horizon Hobby has a UMX offering)
As for an out building, or a barn - you're darn right, I'd be flying in there!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes the tank killer I seen one a long time ago in the Chinese version it was pretty cool. I just wondered if the protected it.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I ment to say perfected it
thanks!
This aircraft is going from beginner mode to expert mode in one twisted aileron servo
I'm sorry, but don't understand if you're making a comment, or asking a quesiton - please help me out here.
I don’t think that by indoor it meant at the house lol. Good job flying it haha!!!
LOL - I agree ;)
This or the t720 from omphobby as a first plane?
THIS - way better as a FIRST plane BUT the T720 has a brushless motor....but the servos are very susceptible to damage.

The windows in the house looks like nighttime
You mean to clean? To avoid hitting?
We love our windows. If I could change one thing about this house, I'd put in BIGGER, and MORE of them ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC i think they meant it looks like its always dark outside
Thanks Brian, you saved me a long way!
This plane was broken and after two years I found the time and desire to fix it.
At the flying field I noticed that the elevator was reversed 🤦
That was very strange to fly 🤣
You were able to fly with elevator reversed!!! That's incredible - you must be a very good pilot!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Not good, just crazy 😉🤣
I learned drone flying and fpv with fifty years.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I spent two hours with this slow rolling plane and it was so much fun, but no proper landing.
Now I need a bigger one.
Hi
just got this plane having never flown before and I'm loving it. Just a question when I put it into expert mode and throttle up it literally points to the sky and climbs. Is this normal and I should be counter acting it with rudder or is it more likely the planes not set right?
Looks similar to the sport cub s umx, did it fly like one?
It was similar in flight characteristics, but just not as low wing loading (disclaimer...I didn't actually measure and do math). This one is WAY more forgiving...I would' never have gotten away with crashing the Sport Cub S UMX the way I did with this little Sport Cub 500.
This one is cheaper, but technically, the Sport Cub S UMX DOES come with EVERYTHING you need...it HAS 4X AA batteries, while this one has only the Lipo.
Totally honest here, it's all about the scale lines for me ;)
Would you recommend this plane or Hobbyzone's New Sport Cub S 2 for a beginner? Love the videos! Very entertaining and educational!
That's a tough question. Horizon Hobby stuff is better, but more expensive. This one is more durable, but less scale looking, so I guess it depends on what's important to you.
Sport Cub S UMX RTF - bit.ly/2xN4WTO
Volantex Sport Cub 500 - amzn.to/36z22Or / bit.ly/3c3Yqqn BG
I hope you'll choose one of them, but they're both good for a first time plane. I feel like the Horizon Hobby slightly edges out this plane, but the price points are different.
Thanks for asking!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for your response. I'll have to give it some thought but I'm leaning toward the Hobbyzone model. Keep up the great videos!
I think you'll be happy with either, but I slightly prefer the Sport Cub S UMX...but my decision is due to the fact that I can use my DX18 :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Have you looked at version 2 of the Hobbyzone Sport Cub? Do you have any videos of the original Sport Cub? I watched your video on the Eachine Mini Mustang P-51D and really like that plane as well!
I like the 10mm motor vs the 8mm in the HobbyZone Sport Cub S, BUT I like the FPV camera cable and steerable tail wheel of the HZ cub s. It looks like the type of foam that bends back without creasing at first. Of course, that may make it a tad heavier negating the benefit of the 10mm motor. Doing a loop from level flight with authority is a good sign of decent power though. And the HZ comes with a 150mAh battery (although I use a 300mAh with the larger connector that comes with the Nano QX 3D quad copter.) vs. the 360mah with the Volantex. It has a better battery connector than the HZ also. The HZ ones suck A$$.
On a side note, you should REALLY practice some Jack Black impressions. You're almost there already! Cool.
I agree with many of your remarks ;)
As for the comparison. This plane is so much cheaper, it's kind in a "class of it's own"...but there's a bunch of cubs out there, and this one does fly well. I really like the Horizon Hobby Sport Cub S UMX, and Horizon Hobby Carbon Cub SS UMX, and the Champ, and the J-3 Cub, but they're all way more expensive (except maybe the champ...but that's 3 channel...).
Let me say, this plane flew in my living room, and the HH items did not - enough said ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC It's over 125 bucks shipped to AZ for me. I'm out dang it. I LOVE the plane, but can't justify that price. DANG IT!!!!!!!! What happened to free shipping?
You need to use the Coupon Code!!!!!!!!!! Isn't there a coupon code in the description????
@@BrianPhillipsRC I clicked on the link for 64.59, but when I get there and go to check out, it's regular price.
Check which location you picked....does that fix it?
Would you recommend this one or the Sport Cub S2 if you had to choose?
I would whole heatedly tell you that the Sport Cub S2 is better flying, and will teach you to fly better, BUT - this Sprot Cub 500 is a very VERY good value, and you will also learn a lot about flying from a Sport Cub 500 experience.
For some people, $20-30 is no big deal, and for others, it's the difference between making rent....so I want to be sensitive to this, while also being totally honest.
BOTH are a good choice. If you can afford the Horizon Hobby product, unless we're talking about a VTOL, they will almost always have the upper hand in a head to head fight....but they'll cost 10-100% more (and usually WORTH every penny).

Good luck with your tough decision!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian! Going to probably pick up a Radiomaster tx16s and the sport cub. Happy flying.
Did he just say use mucus..???😅😅😅😅😅

Wow ! What a tough little plane . excellent video and appreciate your details in explaining the ins and outs. Not sure my umx timber would hold up in the house like that...lol
I'm sure the Timber wouldn't, BUT it's bigger, and a way better plane. That's a hobby grade plane, and this is a toy grade plane, if you ask me :) Love them both for different reasons!!!
Theres that big of difference between toy grade and hobby grade? Was thinking toy grade didnt have the 4 channels etc. Kinda like the duet is huge difference from the carbon cub s+
That plane looked like you could do just about anything
Don't miss my point, I think we agree on this. First off, let me reiterate, I really think this plane is sweet, but I would definitely qualify it as a hybrid between toy grade and hobby grade only because it's RTF and the transmitter is somewhere between "okay" and "cheap"...but you bring up very good points, 4 channels, stabilization, and auto leveling, binding, (not like an RF direct link...with only one possible hard coded connection), and good foam. Size doesn't necessarily disqualify it from Hobby grade, but the build quality is a lot lower. Another reason it might qualify as Toy grade is serviceability. You'll be hard pressed to get parts, beyond prop, lipo, charger...not impossible, but you'll have to jump through hoops, whereas if you bought one of the competitors items, you might have a bit better luck for parts.
How come it never tells you how much it is on banggood
It does....on mine. I wonder if that's because I'm logged in? Keep in mind, there are Tariffs that have to be paid, as part of these items, so it's possible the site doesn't know what country you're in...but not sure. Sorry you're having issues Gary!
How would u put diesel in the tractor
Open the cap, pour it in.
hold the stick to the side to reverse
yes
I'm laughing so hard im crying!
I hope you're laughing WITH us, and not AT us :)
Merry Christmas to you and your camera crew :-)
Thanks Niels, and Merry Christmas to you too! I'll pass along the greeting to the Camera Crew :)
Well, great video, but I do not recommend to follow all instruction mentioned... Just like "beginner mode is all the way down" which could destroy your plane after only 2 seconds during your first flight. Best regards, Notanymoretrusting Fan
Okay
So cool Video
Thanks! You should get one of these planes - they're a blast to fly!!! (Check the description for link)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah, today i'll buy one of these i'm really hoping, that it will not instantly crash and be unflyable, because last Year I bought a mini Super cub from REELY (www.galaxus.ch/de/s5/product/reely-super-cub-rc-einsteiger-modell-rc-flugzeug-8509478?gclid=CjwKCAjwv4_1BRAhEiwAtMDLsq4zruBdRgsdXPL3QmaqK0cHzdeJjUROBoS8rYD7rKSeQIuKQJmdmRoCk-AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) but after 2 or 3 Flights all Wings were broken and the height Rudder broken.
Just short Question: If you would crash the Volantex Sport Cub on tar with the wings, would they brake then because I'll mostly Fly on tar.
Best Regards

Yep, that's right ;) You gotta know what you're getting into...and expect to get burned once in a while when you play with fire. I trust you agree.
Brian Phillips I’m always scared when I see the sticker on the package that says, “ dangerous LiPo battery” and I’m looking at the giant dent in the side of the box.
LOL
Looks like a good low cost flyer,Nice review 👍
This one is very fun, and actually flies good too!!! I LOVE when these things actually work!
its a geared motor sytem, very inefitient
It's a brushed motor, rather than a far superior brushless, but this motor is setup well.
Christmas present was early for you this year :-)
They're still coming too!!! (keep an eye out, I have three more I hope to complete BEFORE Christmas!!! Maybe more!
Thanks for checking in Arthur H!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Lucky you :-)
Best RC Vids for noobs. Also entertaining. Awesome job guys.
Fun little airplane
It really is!
