- I love RC ultra-micro parkflyers. They are so convenient; you can fly them almost anywhere, parks, baseball diamonds, parking lots, some of them even in your backyard. They are also relatively inexpensive and easy to store, thanks to their small sizes. The new ones made out of EPP or EPO foams are quite resilient and almost indestructible (unless you manage to fly them into a tree or under a moving car).
I am especially enamored of World War II mini warbirds, since they harken back to a very active time in aviation history. Previously, I have reviewed three 400mm wingspan ready-to-fly (RTF) mini warbirds, two from Eachine (F4U Corsair and T-28 Trojan) and another one from Volantex RC (P51D Mustang). In case you have not watched my reviews of these mini warbirds, here are the links:

When I saw this Curtiss P-40 Warhawk mini clone with 384mm wingspan from WLtoys/XK, I had to buy it. I found it least expensive at AliExpress from the seller “Lynette Store” (this following link is NOT an affiliated link; I am just providing it for your information and convenience):

There was a $5 store coupon when I placed the order, and the total I paid was $53.22 shipped to my door (to United States). Considering that this is a ready-to-fly (RTF) package that comes with everything you need (except the four AA batteries for the transmitter), it is an amazing deal in my opinion, IF it flies well.
In this first video, I am doing a “tailgate review” of this mini warbird. Is it going to live up to my expectations and perform as well as the previous mini warbirds from Eachine and Volantex RC? You have to watch the video!

I purchased one of these only just today. It has yet to be delivered. It will be my very first "War Bird", and also my very first 4 channel aeroplane. Wish me luck, lol! P.S. Have a Happy and Safe New Year Everyone.
Does it fly inverted I have a XK rare bear and it flies inverted perfectly
bend the main landing gears forward away from CG and it will help, the same thing happen to my Eachine mini Corsair.
Thank you, I will try... once I fix it (I crashed it and broke the motor mount). 😕
Thanks for review. Just ordered this, already got the F4U and the Mustang.👍 Hoping it will bind with the TX16s like the other warbirds?
I was able to bind it to my RadioMaster TX16S. I was able to find the protocol by trial-error (E119), however, I was not able to program the 6G/3D switch. It is always in 6G stabilized mode. I will make a video soon about the binding process and fly it with the TX16S, when we have some dry weather in Massachusetts. Cheers!
@@PropsWheels Hey, thanks for the reply and update. Fingers crossed you get some good weather soon mate.
Thank you Mate, you too!
The same plane here it does not want to fly. When doing a hand launch it glides a bit and lands immediately… fully charged battery and why just why… anyone!!!
Until the dog in the park chews it to shit.
