GoolRCWLtoys XK A160 RC Plane, 2.4GHz 5 Channel Brushless Remote Control Airplane for Adults, Stunt Flying RC Aircraft with 3D/6G Mode and 2 Batteries, Easy to Fly for Boys and Girls

So before taking your plane out for a flight theres some tips and preflight tricks you can do to better enhance your flight experience. First off is that even with the battery tucked into the nose the plane is a little tail heavy however just a few grams of weight in the nose will take care of that and bring the CG right on the mark. As well adjusting the link horns on the servo throws of the rudder to lessen its athority will help lessen the chance of the spiral stall of death some reviewers had a man by the name ground control rc goes over that in his detailed review. Slight reinforcement on nose cone and bottom connecting front wheel arms will help keep front landing gear intact little longer as well keeping the model itself in one piece since it is a very well detailed plane. If you want to have the ability to turn on and off stability using the XK transmitter will do the trick even though it doesnt have hobby grade gimbals it is a decent RTF transmitter, however with the flight board on my purchase i was not able to bind it to my hobby grade trasmitter on the XK Wltoys protocol like many reviewers show. Instead i was able to bind it only on the V911s E119 protocol setting up my own rates on a switch only catch is that stability mode is still engaged almost working like spectrums AS3X assistance. So if you want to fly it with a flight board that doesnt bind to the XK protocol on hobby grade TX than you ll have to use to provided remote. All in all it is a well built and capable J3 Cub not for young age fliers unless they have flight experience under their belt. As well happy to buy from GoolRC since never had a problem with products and esp customer service from them.Edit 09May24Also from Ground Control RC you can add Wing Cuffs i made mine out of poster board 40mm X 64mm to keep the least amount of added wing surface. The key is to have the cuff come out 10mm from the leading edge of the wing with the width of the cuff being 64mm.Edit 13Aug24As you can tell i first started with returning all the surfaces back to OEM. I came up with a theory after observing that in this updated FC motor setup with the 2S Lipo was just providing enough output power to climb out. Since a J3 Cub style of flight is relaxed and not full throttle thru out the flight. I Found and tested several flights now using a Ovonic 3S 500mah 30c and verified normal temperature readings on pair of them and enjoyed the relaxing flights of my litely modified J3 Cub A160. In the additional picture it can be observed that i did have to slightly open the battery slot inside the plane, reinforced fwd landing gear and cut out some cross members on both Batt bay and FC bay to allow more air flow to keep temps stable just in case. Now that i have added these adjustments it flies like a dream using the stock TX or even more refined flight on my RadioKing 4 in 1 TX.

I dislike this plane because it is uncontrollable. The good thing is it kinda floes and it looks good but it is garbage it wont turn or go up. I say this piece of garbage should not exist.

Giving three stars based on the difficulty in assembling the wings as one spar is too long, and the locking yellow twists are too short and one broke while locking it. The wing gyro wires/connectors are not marked as to what plug connects to what plug. There are absolutely no directions as to what screws go where so it's a guessing game when the screws are going into soft materials that the plane is made of so be very careful when guessing what screw go where when assembling the plane. Assembly instructions don't identify spare parts either/ We haven't flow it yet but will try it on a calmer day. The plane is good looking and seems sturdy thus the three star rating. I will update my post as soon as we fly it. Hoping the left- and right-wing gyros are properly connected, if not disassembly will be required and as stated the wing lock downs yellow in color are not long enough and one is broke so they and a wing spar will need to be replaced,

I'm a 50+ year RC pilot who has flown about everything there is. Received this as a gift so I don't know where it was purchased. First let me say this is not a beginner's plane. After reading many reviews and watching videos it was apparent that the plane is tail heavy and needs to be balanced. That is why so many speak of the "death spiral". A tail heavy plane will easily tip stall into a spin and you have to know what you're doing to recover from it. I took the cowl off and glued a penny to the inside bottom to balance the plane at about 1/3 of the wing cord from the leading edge which is standard on Cubs.I have many flights on mine without any crashes. Our club field is at 5200' above sea level but the plane will take off a dirt runway and fly fine. It's a bit heavy and at our altitude it flys faster than scale. The radio works fine and I fly my with some assist from the gyro. The battery lasts 7-8 minutes.The scale detail makes this almost a display quality Piper Cub.

It does extremely well if you HOT GLUE A PENNY IN THE FRONT OF CROWL! Its a lot more stable in the air and isn't tail heavy. It also has a special reminder that due to "ic electronic materials" it has a different receiver board that's better! Looks identical to the A280 P-51 Thunderbolt receiver board. Just different frequency. It flys like it too! It's a really good plane for Beginners (NO DOUBT)!!! YOUTUBE videos aren't too impressed with its flight, well I don't think they have this new receiver board in it!

I’m so upset I bough this back in October for my for Christmas and now I’m unable to return it. When we opener it was broken and when I mean broken, it’s completely unusable! The pieces are missing, screws are missing . Broken arm supports. The motor was seizing. The directions are missing. It’s total garbage!!! The star is there because I had to put one but be aware!

I should have watched several Youtube videos before I bought this product. It is a great looking plane for sure. It seems to have consistant problems with randomly going into a death spiral to the ground which is unrecoverable. I attempted to fly it and it crashed EVERY TIME! I am an intermediate RC Helicopter pilot, this should have been easy to fly....IT IS NOT. I wish I could have returned it, but the plane got broken on the first flight. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!! I am ready to smash it up and throw it away.P.S. This is the FIRST negative review I have ever submitted anywhere.......

I had seen a ton of videos online showing numerous issues with this plane. I took a chance on it though, and I’m glad I did. It flew perfectly. I had no issues at all. Stabilization worked flawlessly. Was very pleased.
