Hi Nate and Abby I just knew how you would love the xk x450.Also you would give the best tutorial,which I have now watched a half dozen times .WELL DONE
Hi! I sincerely seek your advice. i have completely no experience with RC planes or Drones at all. Between the X520 and X450, which will you recommend for me to get considering my absolute zero experience? pls kindly include product's durability to survive crash and control distance into your recommendation if possible . Thank you very much in advance !!!
I’m 40ish an got this for Christmas an love it!!! I fly in my front yard in a subdivision. Take it up in drone mode an throw it into plane mode above the houses. Flys so easy in safe mode yet i can still get it to cyclone spin. Not sure how I stumbled onto this channel but you have a loyal subscriber in me! Thank you for the always unbiased reviews you guys provide for the RC hobby!
I have to say, been watching for years, bought a couple things you’ve shown. I have done boats, cars, planes drones and helis. This looks like the most fun of anything yet. Definitely a winner!
A very big thanks to Nate and Abby for doing the best video on the xk x450 ,I knew you love it .I have one on order and I can’t wait,I bought one for £100 on EBay in UK .This last 10 days or so you have brought some fantastic RC to air THANKS
Sold! I'm in Australia, so I didn't use your link, but signed up on Patreon instead. YOU got me into RC planes. I bought the Eachine P51 from your video, and now this. My collection has begun, and it's all your fault.
Out of sight wow, just what I have been waiting for.... great Drone/Plane OK Nate on order can't wait this is just what I have been waiting for....Something I could learn on and do a little of everything with one model....
Okay...so I'm learning that "easy" to fly for you doesn't mean that I won't crash it. I crashed it on the maiden flight. Bought another one. Crashed it. Fixed it. Flew it well. Went out again. Crashed it. They're not forgiving when they crash. So now I've got two of these, both broken awaiting parts.
10/10 for enthusiasm and energy, I like this plane and even though I am 61 and should be checking on Cricket scores and what next door's cat does to my vegetable garden I'd much, much much rather be out and about with something like this so I am going to make one! ( I'll post the results on TH-cam-somehow!) Thank you so much for the inspiration-your latest subscriber!
I watched this video and ordered the plane for myself. I came on December 14, 2019. I love it. I does meet my expectations fully. I have not pushed the red button as yet, but wish to get used to it for several flights before I go to 3-D mode. A great plane. Lots of fun.
Wow that's totally sick!!! :-) When you did those pirouettes in vertical flight, the first thing that came to mind was, *"O COOL! WASHINGMACHINE MODE!!!"* because it looked like the agitator in a washer. ;-)
You were so right yesterday when you said don't miss today's video! This is so cool! I've been holding back on making purchases but this is a must have for me! Thank you for this and all your videos!
Lol, Hey we love this hobby and are always looking out for everyone. On one side of the fence, we do our best to share the duds. On the other side, if something is awesome we are more than happy to share it with everyone 👍⚓😃
watched a lot of your videos ... Enjoyed them all .. great channel... only time i disagreed with you was with the mavic mini ...but i understand your frustrations with it .. i choose to overlook them.. Just wanted to let you know that i purchased a few aircraft after watching your videos and i was not disapointed ... Thanks for all you do....
I know this video is two years old but I'm just finding it and every time you and Abby geek out on a plane I buy it and your evaluations are spot on I've ever time said yeah this is everything Nate said it was... Absolutely love your channel keep it up just how you are doing it... God bless
Finally your video on X450 is out!!! I sincerely seek your advice. i have completely no experience with RC planes or Drones at all. Between the X520 and X450, which will you recommend for me to get considering my absolute zero experience? kindly include product durability to survive crash and control distance into your recommendation. Thank you!!!
Nate! I just bought one! thanks! I thought I asked that you and Abby are to only show what not to buy? but No here we go again! LOL great Job keep up the great videos. Abby needs to fly more!
The last time you told me to buy something was that little army guy surfing on the two prop drone, board flyer thingy!! I bought it. Now I will buy this. I want to get into flying but have limited capabilities. YES!! This is so cool. Thanks for the vid and your enthusiasm guyz.
Fun plane! XK keeps rocking the RC world for most fun on a budget (them and WL Toys). I have the XK X520, the other one you mentioned that you reviewed, and it still holds up. Having fun seeing you guys doing the mini-unofficial-plane-week!
Fun video and looks like a fun plane to fly. Interesting that you said for a drone flyer to get into planes. Our Buddy Rick let me fly his XK X520 while in North Carolina and I was HOOKED! I had 10 drones but now only fly 1 just to video my plane flights. XK does make some really durable fun planes, I should know, I crashed mine at full speed with FPV into myself and a light pole. Videos are embarrassing but funny. This one looks even more durable and fun! I may pick one of these up for my Son In Law for Christmas! Thanks for the review!
At first I thought it was just gonna be a convergence clone, but it adds another neat feature to the vertical flight regime, while retaining incredibly crisp transition and flight on such a small platform! Is actually pretty impressive
The camera on the X520 also never amounted to much (except for filming ground whizzing by most of the time) so it will be kinda the same for a possible camera version of this one; those swivels they have installed can't be pointed straight forwards and always point down: no use. Using something like a small SQ camera, a 808 #16 camera or a Mobius Mini would yield much better results.
Yes, you are absolutely right, among all the full scale as well as toy scale evtol models this model is highly balanced in all aspects including manuoerablity, l wish to make a two seater real evtol like this, All the best sir 😄
I own an XK X520 (the other one y'all refer to), and it's great. But I haven't been really excited about an RC much of late. I am halfway through this video and I know I will get one of these. And soon, before the price goes up. :)
Not sure which is better the Plane or Nate's reaction. LOL. Even after the file loss it didn't take long for him to get excited. Nice video. and YES I want one now. Nate get Abby one please.
Yep, looked at your videos over time, got the xk x520, then the carbon cub s+ both of which are excellent, want to try Quads and spotted this on your channel,... so just ordered one of these. Keep up the informative reviews, they're great !!
The X450 is definitely a fun model! I flew a couple batteries today at the park and had a group of little kids running after it. The adults think I am a pro pilot when all I am doing is hitting a few buttons, lol. Thanks for the video review, going to watch and see if I can get any pointers ;)
Fantastic “ pass the time “ plane/drone 👍👍 just been on banggood and the transmitter has got on the left hand side ‘Stuck Mode’ 🤣, would that be ‘Stick Mode’? i.e. mode 1 or mode 2? A lot of people fly mode 2 nowadays, but I’m old school and fly mode 1 but couldn’t find any reference on the site to see if the controller was switchable? Could you find out? Thank you, 183,000 brilliant! Well done to you both! 👌👌👌👍👍
Wow wow and wow. I guess I will have look into this one too. I may have to stop watching your videos (not going to happen) cause everything I see I want one too.
Great review on a great VTOL guys. Defo a 'must add' to my list. I thought the XK X520 was great but luv the look and actions of this one. Cheers guys .. stay safe :)
Great review! I just ordered one. Can you tell me if the transmitter it comes with will work for the xk helichopters? I recently purchased the XK k110. Thxs!
Just think. If you could go back in time just 25 years with this thi6 , people would swear you bad some reverse engineered alien technology. Quads or drones wer6not affordable or common at all It was 49mHz and u2mHz stuff.Big pull out antennas. Just a few frequencies and pretty much one at a time. Or, Congrol Lkne. Remember that? Yeah. Our hobby has exploded exponentially. FPV, 5.8 gHz , a camera, transmitter and a color monitor for under $50. Or use your phone. Just amazing. And now ya gotta do s fantastically favorable review. So. I will probably get one. I think Ebay and Amazon should send YOU a Thank You card for what y'all have enticed me into getting. LOL
My 450 lasted one flight. Now both flaps are broke off and one of the motors snapped off. 2 of the crashes were caused by the v-mde sending it into a wonky spin and twice it just dropped out of the sky in winged mode. My 520 is still good to go. It flies on 3S too...
That is certainly an interesting aircraft! Does it just use it's ailerons as elevators, or does it use the rear engine as an elevator? Or does it tilt front motors up and down to give you something similar to elevator control? I assume it is using differential thrust give you rudder-like control...what genius came up with this?!
Hi TheRcSaylors, thanks for sharing, love your work/videos. At 5:35 mark, seems something is also being entertained in the sky, (cough cough) the cloud that looks like something trying to look like a cloud. Then the butterfly, which probably was a sign from them. Anyhoo, enjoy yourselves.
Love it! This one looks great. What I like about vtol is you can fly it from your front yard. It doesn't need a long runway to take off and land, just go in drone mode take off the back in same mode to land. Can it take of and land in vertical mode as well? I believe this maybe one of the coolest rc products I've ever seen on your channel.
I really like this, it looks very good, I have been thinking about getting a plane and deciding on what to get and this is perfect,thank you for the video RCSAYLORS
the articulating motor/props are pretty cool! When can we get that same technology on Camera Angle for quads! As pitch increases so does camera angle and vice versa!
I bought this on your recommendations. It it easy to fly and will do unreal acrobatics. BUT the front servos are horrible. First flight, took it up about 40 feet. Did some banks, rolls, vertical climbs, diving to 20 feet letting go of the stick, it leveled out perfectly. Figured it was time to land and see where the battery was. Flipped the switch & the plane whined loudly & death spiralled into the ground. I killed the thrust before it crashed but even after the crash the plane was still whining. It was the port front servo. It was extremely hot. I unplugged the plane and removed the cowling. The servo motor had swelled the servo casing. Tookn it apart and sure enough it had chewed several teeth on the gears & when it over heated it melted the plastic casing. I thought odd, it must be s bad servo. So off i went to order more props & servos. I ordered 2 of the front & rear servos. Two weeks later. I changed out the servo & went flying. This time I kept it simple. Took it up to 30 feet & flew a figure 8 banked it back to me. Then leveled it out. Throttled down to 20% and flipped the switch to hover. Same thing death spiral to the ground. This time it was the servo I didn't replace. Ok the two that came with it were bad. I had a spare. I swapped it out. Went out again, and hovered to 20 ft switched to flight mode went out 40 feet and banked back. Switched to hover and poof instant death spiral. I have 2 metal gear replacements on order. If you buy this plane, don't fly, it till you replace the front servos. Or you will be very disappointed.
I have the same problem as Very Wise, my house is looking like a hangar in an air show. However keep up the videos guy, I can always build an extension 😂
I think this will be my next plane, I got loads of MJX drones so I need a nice interesting plane, this vector thrust plane is cool and interesting at a decent price, looks like fun.
That was one nifty plane. A plane, a quad, an acrobatic flyer definitely one to get.Maybe with all that fancy acrobatic flying you were doing a 🦋🦋Butterfly mating flight.🦋🦋. Then when you were holding the plane, you broke💔💔 the poor Butterflies 🦋🦋 little heart. 😊😊😊. ⚓👍👍💖⚓⚓.
I own the XK 520 VTOL. What I don't like about it is the fact you cannot fly it like a drone. This appeals to me not only for my RC club, but in drone mode, I can fly it around the house. By the way for some of you folks that ask or want to place a GoPro on everything. Please, not with this. There are much smaller cameras like the Mobius mini at 22 grams.. I just ordered my XK X450...
It is great. It is helping me with my plane flying skills and when I lose control I can throw the switch. I like amazing stuff because it helps me have more fun.
Great video! I have one ordered. I hear you have to avoid the 1300 mAh upgrade batteries due to larger size that will not fit without cutting out foam.
Add another to my want list. Not to impress as I mostly fly in an empty field. Well, the hawk and the other wildlife might be impressed. lol. It just looks like a lot of fun.
Hi Nate, Abby. Was hoping you'd done a revof this. I saw another review by someone else. It looked crazy fast. Definitely not a small or medium sized backyard. It's no Night Vapor, Duet., or Twin Explorer. Those are doable This looks really fast. Maybe install an AIO camera for some FPV action. I wish they were a little cheaper. Black Friday? Can't wait that long.

Thank you very much in advance !!!
Mine drifts a lot on the horizontal mode. How do I get it to hover
I love flying mine, it's so stable, and over 13 minutes flight time. Very durable and well built,It costs less than 180 dollars.
I’m 40ish an got this for Christmas an love it!!! I fly in my front yard in a subdivision. Take it up in drone mode an throw it into plane mode above the houses.

I have never owned a RC plane, boat, car or drone. I absolutely love this channel. You are fun to watch

WOW guys. I agree. The drone/plain is something else. Many thanks for shareing. Made me smile Big time. Great Job as always Salyors. Xx

how much it was cost when you buy it?
Wow that's totally sick!!! :-)
When you did those pirouettes in vertical flight, the first thing that came to mind was, *"O COOL! WASHINGMACHINE MODE!!!"* because it looked like the agitator in a washer. ;-)
That was awesome, I'm going to get one ASAP.
Fantastic video
You were so right yesterday when you said don't miss today's video! This is so cool! I've been holding back on making purchases but this is a must have for me!

Wow, another winner from XK! The takeoff capabilities of the X450 and what it can do in the air are amazing!
Finally your video on X450 is out!!!

Nate! I just bought one! thanks! I thought I asked that you and Abby are to only show what not to buy? but No here we go again! LOL great Job keep up the great videos. Abby needs to fly more!
I may not be the most perceptive person in the world, but I think the RC Saylors REALLY like this one!!! LOL!!!! This is really freaking cool!!!!

Oh, and SERIOUSLY, Abby? With JEANS? Don't make us pull your AMA card! :D
YEP..............thats pretty cool , all it needs is GPS for return to home and an FPV camera :D
And full acro tricopter mode....
josh akers and Some more money
That's so cool! It looks so.much fun! What a great flyer!
Fun video and looks like a fun plane to fly.

Very smart to pick one up tonight. We just added a second one to our cart 😉👍⚓😃
@@TheRcSaylors I just ordered one. I mean, I went to gmail to check for the receipt and saw your tweet notifications. That thing is awesome!
This is my second VTOL because of you two, and I haven’t even flown my first one!!!! But I am definitely flying this one. I love the “drone mode”.
Not sure which is better the Plane or Nate's reaction. LOL. Even after the file loss it didn't take long for him to get excited. Nice video. and YES I want one now. Nate get Abby one please.
Nice, I like the fact that you don't have to take off vertical. My old one blows over in any kind of wind.
Just got mine today, of course its raining, cant wait to try it.
Awesome plane. Im getting one. So cool. Watch you guys all the time.
Yep, looked at your videos over time, got the xk x520, then the carbon cub s+ both of which are excellent, want to try Quads and spotted this on your channel,... so just ordered one of these. Keep up the informative reviews, they're great !!
I would love one of these. Are the big a powerful enough for a tiny camera? Would be cool to see some stunt footage.
The X450 is definitely a fun model! I flew a couple batteries today at the park and had a group of little kids running after it. The adults think I am a pro pilot when all I am doing is hitting a few buttons, lol. Thanks for the video review, going to watch and see if I can get any pointers ;)
I own one of these and I love it!!!
Fantastic “ pass the time “ plane/drone 👍👍 just been on banggood and the transmitter has got on the left hand side ‘Stuck Mode’ 🤣, would that be ‘Stick Mode’? i.e. mode 1 or mode 2? A lot of people fly mode 2 nowadays, but I’m old school and fly mode 1 but couldn’t find any reference on the site to see if the controller was switchable? Could you find out? Thank you, 183,000 brilliant! Well done to you both! 👌👌👌👍👍
would love to see you guys do a video of the two of them flying the jjrc and the X KX450 version together
Wow wow and wow. I guess I will have look into this one too. I may have to stop watching your videos (not going to happen) cause everything I see I want one too.
That is so cool, looks so well thought out! Performing flawless which is nice to see.
This is on my Christmas list, great video guys!
I fly mine in the back yard! I love it!
Great review on a great VTOL guys. Defo a 'must add' to my list. I thought the XK X520 was great but luv the look and actions of this one. Cheers guys .. stay safe :)
Thanks again for another great video!!! Purchased just now!!!
Love it!!! I bought the last vtol you guys reviewed.
That is awesome! Id get one for sure if I had a place to fly it.
Plane person VS Drone person
X450 : I'M ABOUT TO PUT THEM INTO THE PEACE 🥰
Great review! I just ordered one. Can you tell me if the transmitter it comes with will work for the xk helichopters? I recently purchased the XK k110. Thxs!
So many plane videos, love it!
We are having a very fun week, glad you are enjoying the vids 👍⚓😃
That is what I need! To look like a PRO!!!! Love this video. Awesome to see your perspective on a second day. 😀👍✈
Bang Good is using your video on there site. Excellent giving you more exposure
Just think. If you could go back in time just 25 years with this thi6 , people would swear you bad some reverse engineered alien technology. Quads or drones wer6not affordable or common at all
It was 49mHz and u2mHz stuff.Big pull out antennas. Just a few frequencies and pretty much one at a time.
Or, Congrol Lkne. Remember that? Yeah. Our hobby has exploded exponentially.
FPV, 5.8 gHz , a camera, transmitter and a color monitor for under $50. Or use your phone.
Just amazing. And now ya gotta do s fantastically favorable review. So. I will probably get one.
I think Ebay and Amazon should send YOU a Thank You card for what y'all have enticed me into getting. LOL
Totally AWESOME!! Thanks Saylors!! 💟👍😘
Super Cool, got to get one soon.
Looks like a fun airplane/VTOL ... cool!
Crazy fun, very impressive 👍⚓😃
I can already see that this is way better then version 1.
My 450 lasted one flight. Now both flaps are broke off and one of the motors snapped off. 2 of the crashes were caused by the v-mde sending it into a wonky spin and twice it just dropped out of the sky in winged mode. My 520 is still good to go. It flies on 3S too...
Very very Cool!!!⚓️⚓️⚓️Nice to see Nate excited about something. 😂
This is now my everyday flyer!, from now on
That is certainly an interesting aircraft! Does it just use it's ailerons as elevators, or does it use the rear engine as an elevator? Or does it tilt front motors up and down to give you something similar to elevator control? I assume it is using differential thrust give you rudder-like control...what genius came up with this?!
cool looking jet great show
OMG! This is so much better than both e-flite Convergence and mini Convergeance.
XK are becoming a serious contender to Horizon Hobby ;)
Hi TheRcSaylors, thanks for sharing, love your work/videos. At 5:35 mark, seems something is also being entertained in the sky, (cough cough) the cloud that looks like something trying to look like a cloud. Then the butterfly, which probably was a sign from them. Anyhoo, enjoy yourselves.
Looks like fun, Thanks guys.
Love it! This one looks great. What I like about vtol is you can fly it from your front yard. It doesn't need a long runway to take off and land, just go in drone mode take off the back in same mode to land. Can it take of and land in vertical mode as well? I believe this maybe one of the coolest rc products I've ever seen on your channel.
Im assuming auto stabilization means no elevator/rudder? Great model...but if so...an elevator would be beneficial for sure...
...thank you .....just ordered 1 😃👍
yea nate ive done a night flight with this 450 on my channel. amazingly bright lights nice one. .
I really like this, it looks very good, I have been thinking about getting a plane and deciding on what to get and this is perfect,thank you for the video RCSAYLORS
Can you guys suggest an FPV camera that I can put in this thing?
the articulating motor/props are pretty cool! When can we get that same technology on Camera Angle for quads! As pitch increases so does camera angle and vice versa!
It Rocks!
Donut flop..... awesome plane love it...
it's beautiful thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for tuning in 👍⚓😃

If you buy this plane, don't fly, it till you replace the front servos. Or you will be very disappointed.
Half way watching your video il orderd one, thanks Nate.
You will have so much fun 👍⚓😎
O Abby your doing a fantastic job with that camera
I have the same problem as Very Wise, my house is looking like a hangar in an air show. However keep up the videos guy, I can always build an extension 😂
I think this will be my next plane, I got loads of MJX drones so I need a nice interesting plane, this vector thrust plane is cool and interesting at a decent price, looks like fun.
That was one nifty plane. A plane, a quad, an acrobatic flyer definitely one to get.Maybe with all that fancy acrobatic flying you were doing a 🦋🦋Butterfly mating flight.🦋🦋. Then when you were holding the plane, you broke💔💔 the poor Butterflies 🦋🦋 little heart. 😊😊😊. ⚓👍👍💖⚓⚓.

I own the XK 520 VTOL. What I don't like about it is the fact you cannot fly it like a drone. This appeals to me not only for my RC club, but in drone mode, I can fly it around the house. By the way for some of you folks that ask or want to place a GoPro on everything. Please, not with this. There are much smaller cameras like the Mobius mini at 22 grams.. I just ordered my XK X450...
It is great. It is helping me with my plane flying skills and when I lose control I can throw the switch. I like amazing stuff because it helps me have more fun.
Great video! I have one ordered. I hear you have to avoid the 1300 mAh upgrade batteries due to larger size that will not fit without cutting out foam.
That does it! I am buying one!!
Wow that's cool,awesome video.
Add another to my want list. Not to impress as I mostly fly in an empty field. Well, the hawk and the other wildlife might be impressed. lol. It just looks like a lot of fun.
That is so Kick-Ass
I have the Convergence by E-Flight. I don’t think it will do those same tricks. However it is a blast!
Hi Nate, Abby. Was hoping you'd done a revof this. I saw another review by someone else.
It looked crazy fast. Definitely not a small or medium sized backyard. It's no Night Vapor, Duet., or Twin Explorer.
Those are doable
This looks really fast. Maybe install an AIO camera for some FPV action.
I wish they were a little cheaper. Black Friday? Can't wait that long.
That thing looks like stupid fun 😜
