I bought this x450 Its awesome. Im from Woodstock Ontario and now live in Pittsburgh P.A.. I love your drone reviews. 100 thumbs up. I buy drones because of your reviews. And everything ive bought because of you reviews has been great. I can watch you all night long.
This is an amazing new drone plane!!! It is acrobatic too. It is durable. I do not do well with planes...but this thing is amazing. Glad you had help plane mode.
Pleased to hear you on the mend. What a cracking toy and so robust it survives Captain D's lack of flyin ability ....... which is similar to mine! Thank you.
It looks like they sent you two right vertical stabilizers! Won’t matter in drone mode much or even stabilized flying but will probably mess with manual flying should you ever attempt it. This is a great toy. As others have said, fairly fragile and the plane mode stalls into a stability ruble so you have to fly it close to full throttle most of the time (the plane mode on this isn’t a bad EDF trainer)
I wondered why an experienced UAV flier was having so much trouble with this after the XK X520/420 and other Vtols have been out for so long. Then a search showed that though every man and his dog has had a crack at (& almost universally endorsed) the 520 you don't appear to have done so. Don't feel too bad about your first attempt. My first (& first plane) flight of the 520 lasted 1.5 seconds! ;-) Now covered in tape & glue but still flying and I love it. This looks a bit more delicate but for someone with the right skills will probably be another good-un.
That's really fun! I fly drones and now I'm trying airplanes, I bought a glider made by XK, as a starting point. The main difference for me was to understand that the Right Stick makes the airplane up and down the nose and the Throttle gives power and drones are different. But it's worth it! I think you should keep flying airplanes and drones
wow, very cool! Loved this little toy kkk. When I go I'll get one of these and hope it is really resistant to the kkk. Enjoying: congratulations on the channel and videos, I'm seeing you straight :)
Hi Captain Steve, good to see you back and I hope your eye is better now. I've just bought one of these and I'm not sure it makes a great deal of difference but you definitely had the tail fins in the wrong way round (slanted inboard at the top rather than out.)
I'm glad to see you've reviewed this one. I had the Convergence and it dropped out of the sky on the first flight and I sent it back and didn't buy another one. This one has much better flight times as well as the hover mode. The Convergence was way overpriced.
Good review. I looked at the Convergence a while ago. The X450 is about 130$ cheaper and it comes with a radio. Might have to pick one up. It could be a lot of fun. A break from flying my helicopters and drones.
Thanks for your very good explained Vidio , i have the E Flite VTOL mini but now i buyed the RTF version and one retail set of props . Best regards from Alicante Spain :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I enjoyed the video. I have the Eflight Mini-Convergence that is similar in size to this plane and flys better than the Convergence. Horizon Hobby improved the transition programming and it performs and flys great. Also, it has SAFE which is a big help during the transitioning process. SAFE allows an inexperienced plane (or quad) pilot to have relaxing fun. I am glad your eye is doing better.
I tend to agree. I also have a Mini Convergence and it flys much better than the larger convergence. Also and this is a huge plus for us RC pilots. It can use the same multichannel radio as our other planes. I can also control the length of flight by the battery I use. The FAA won’t let us fly FPV anymore at sanctioned airfields so that is going to make some people move to quads. To me LOS flying is LOS flying
Nice job on the multiple camera angles. I looked at the Convergence and the Mini for a long time but they both have mechanical and stability issues. This is going to be my fifth XK aircraft because they're pretty close to the best RTF company in the business. If it helps, I almost always fly winged aircraft in FPV. It's much more intuitive to me and I seldom crash. It's when I try to fly LOS like the old guys that I wind up hunting for parts in the grass. :)
Awesome flight! I have the XK 520 its a little larger and it can handle the wind much Better with larger brushless motors.. XK has awesome quads and planes...cheers!
I worked at bae systems at samlesbury uk the airfield was fully operational as an emergency landing strip At lunch time one guy used to go flying his rc jet plane it was very big but it was faster than a scalded cat it was stunning and boy could he fly it how do you fancy an rc jet captain Get better soon god bless you
Nice video as per usual . Would really like to see you take up the challenge of flying planes. Would love to see a review of the hobbyzone carbon cub s . It does have GPS so that should make it easier for you 😊.
Looks like fun. Definitely should leave the airplane mode to the experts. Those guys definitely know how to fly their planes. I still can’t figure out how they get all of them into their cars without damaging them.
I just ordered one from Amazon. It will be here Suday. Thanks for the video how to use it. I was originally going to order the X 520, but I picked this one instead, but I figured the KK 450 might be better.
Could we enquire if your X450 is still in flying condition. All our X520 V-tols (2 years+ old) are still flying each weekend but our X450s almost always go home to wait for parts! :D
the one I got died while hovering for 1.5 min. that is the total flight time it has by the way. perhaps I got a bad one but, my mini convergence is still flying
I like this. I think it would be nice to have another Plane besides my Apprentice which I love. The Price is right for sure. I think a extra battery or two would make it perfect. It is different to go from Drone to Plane as your friends showed. They're good with Planes. I still am careful with my big plane and I've managed to break everything but the Fuselage and motor so far. So yeah I have a few spare parts if I need them. Glad your eyes is getting better.
New angle of fun made available here !!! - thanks to Cap'n Steve (obviously!) for introducing this ..... emmmm, 'quadplane' ?? ..... and the other flying field Steve for his obvious excellent RC fixed wing flying skills 😍😍👍👍 - enjoyed 😁
All the reviews say the same thing. GET IT. To fix the overextended motor pods, just disconnect the battery. Then, gently pop em back horizontal. .UN PLUG FIRST.
Try again and look for some option to click on to allow it to be shipped to the US. I've heard people mention this often and eventually they figure it out. I think the website is not designed well.
Wauw 👍🙂 This beautiful quad-plane is on my list for now! Thank you for this review, I am very much impressed with the apparent quality. Seems to fly pretty fast too. Have to talk with my wife I guess 👍
Hi Captain am from a Island with lots of wind my question is if it will be difficult to fly and also how high it can go and how many minutes it can stay in the air thank you.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks, actually I looked at Banggood site and its a little cheaper and they ship to the US. But thanks for the video. The drone/plane looks fun.
Hi captain drone, glad your eye is starting to get better... lol they may fly the plane mode better then you but you definitely crashed it better then them lol.. I really like that, it looks great fun to fly 👍
That seems to be a nice little plane , drone , kite ? , whatever but anyway it looks neat . I've never flown a plane before , do you think this would be a good one for a beginner Cap ?
Very easy for beginner if no wind (then it doesn't push the nose down). Also don't do like me and get your right joystick movement mixed up with up and down (too many years of flying FPV).
I hear you I couldn't see that going any better for myself! U as I know to stay in the areas we know, I will call it on your 1.5 eye balls as I called it on Super glue on my fingers once
Their website states doesn’t ship to USA. Too bad I really wanted one. I had the eflite mini convergence and it was crap. Gave it away after two flights.
Brilliant video and great to see you trying something new. More of this plz. - But maybe a little unfair to the drone/plane to start out in 15 m/sek wind, (it's a little windy) cause you rarely do that with drones. Love your plane comrades trying to "fix" things, but most of all,,, that drone/plane looks like level two for most RC pilots. Maybe you should introduce a "level" scale ;)
cool - with me the axis of the motor nacelle is broken. He is brutally fast in jet mode! with me the axis of the motor nacelle is broken. He is brutally fast in jet mode! When Chrash was the gondola represented - crack was broken
Yeah, flying a GPS quad is a world easier than flying a RC fixed wing. My club mates I have utmost respect for their flying skills. It's a different world. Steve, you gave it your best shot and the craft seemed to survive!?😂
I had thought about giving up on my DJI drones I have three and going with this but I don't think I have the capabilities of flying something like this back to d j i I love my standard 3
Hi Steve, I was getting quite miffed at you constantly saying “ quad mode “, but then I realised you had an eye injury, so I can understand you were seeing double in certain aspects of the flight. I know it’s been a year but I just wanted to comment...you know?
I am a beginner at drone flying and today the wind is blowing at 20 km/h and my Eachine E58 would just fly in the direction of the wind. It was nearly impossible to have any control, even with max trimming. Is this normal? Much appreciate your help.
Ahhhh .... HOW can it be in "Quad Mode" when it only has THREE MOTORS??? Isn't it more CORRECTLY be called "Multi Rotor" mode?? Can't stand reviewers that can't even get nomenclature correct.

Great drone/airplane. I love the shot of the front props dropping when it goes into airplane mode.

I do like the fact that this has a 50-odd gram buffer for repairs & an AIO fpv system.
Hi Captain Steve, good to see you back and I hope your eye is better now. I've just bought one of these and I'm not sure it makes a great deal of difference but you definitely had the tail fins in the wrong way round (slanted inboard at the top rather than out.)
Oh, I'm sure I did.... I'm sure a noob when it comes to planes :-)
Nice flight, Thank you for sharing!!
Very nice
Really cool
I'm glad to see you've reviewed this one. I had the Convergence and it dropped out of the sky on the first flight and I sent it back and didn't buy another one. This one has much better flight times as well as the hover mode. The Convergence was way overpriced.
If someone could come out with a form factor like this with GPS it would be killer.
Good review. I looked at the Convergence a while ago. The X450 is about 130$ cheaper and it comes with a radio. Might have to pick one up. It could be a lot of fun. A break from flying my helicopters and drones.

Cool little plane and great review.
great vid,,,,,,,,,more planes please
Just got mine. Was perfect out of the box. This thing is a steal for $110!
So fun flight... That's mighty drone for naughty piloting. Btw I glad your eye get well back n had quick recovery
Woah! It's acrobatic and fast!

I fly RC planes here in the UK , winds are ALWAYS 15 to 25mph minimal lol, usually it's 25 to 40mph, the vertical mode would be funny in that lol.
Looks like fun, however i think i prefer GPS drones. lol. Good to see you are on the mend Steve.
