Volantex Saber - Brilliant Robust Acrobatic Foamie plane.

If youre looking for something more adventurous and have acquired good piloting skills, then this maybe for you. I am not an acrobatic flyer but i was looking for something to help me learn some basic manouvers. In the right hands i reckon that it is enormously capable but for the rest of us its a super robust serious foamie.It takes bumps and bangs quite well. Like i said i recommend this for a pilot looking to take acro seriously but if youre looking for something to just play with and have some 'juvenile 'fun there are other 'toy grade' planes that will give major bang for your buck, the best of which might just be the Swift One from Sky Challenger an rtf package which i will be comparing to this 'big brother' in a new video to be published soon. I'd love to hear your opinion on these types of planes - Happy Flying

Love this pane. Take off the gear and hand launch. it's a blast to fly!

I agree with you 100%, I just need to keep the expo rates really high

Got one of these 4 or 5 years ago for £56 and free delivery !!! and it was the PNP version.. Flies best on a 3s 1300 keep the weight down. Great intro to 3D flying. It's had a few knocks but still going strong with the original electrics!!

Hi, that’s great to hear- we’ve both had similar experiences with this little beauty - it is a great intro plane to 3D , happy flying 👍

Great little airplane 👍 mine is always in the trunk of the car and flown almost daily on my lunch break. I'm using a 4s pack with YGE 65 amp LVT ESC ($250) and is a bit over kill but it has more power than she will ever need and is a damn rocket.

@@JordanColeman-r8w crikey, that sounds like loads of fun 🤩, I think that I’ll give that a try, thanks 👍

Yes it's a nice plane, but the fuselage will break again and again. I glued it several times and had to add weight to the tail because of the large amount of glue it the front 😂
I love to fly it on windy days and hover above my head like a kite.

@@altermannfliegt3927 I’m sorry to hear about the braking fuselage, just like you I’ve repaired mine a good few times - I love uhu por . 😗

[@altermannfliegt3927]

@@rcpilots1291 I rarely use uhu por. Instead, I prefer to use foam safe ca. This makes for a nicer repair and is lighter in weight. Of course I use boiling water and steam.
