I'm new to r/c planes. Does this come with a controller? If not, can you recommend a good one for a beginner?
1186683
No it doesn't, and this is not for beginners. It is a micro, and is easily tossed around by the slightest wind. I would recommend a HobbyZone champ, or the Super Cub. Remember to get the RTF (ready to fly) version of these.

This does not come with controller. You can buy the rtf version if you want a controller. I use spectrum dx7
1186685
The RTF (Ready To Fly) version does. It is a basic 4 channel radio that does the job. But if you want to get a few more airplanes you may want to purchase a Spectrum radio.BTW you can learn how to fly R/C with this airplane, it is a great flying airplane, but I would recommend the HobbyZone Champ to learn, that kit comes with a controller.

this is not a beginner plane. I strongly recommend finding an AMA qualified field and instrustor to teach you how to fly first. If you have the basics down, then invest in one of the new Spektrum radios. I have the DX6 and it will bind to an infinate number of planes. The radio is only $200 and well worth the investment. I currently have 10 planes and 4 hellicoptors bound to it, not to mentions real flight similator. Sorry for my mispells, it is late in the evening for me. If you are truly new to the hobby, please buy a trainer first and find an instrustor. This hobby can be dangerous and I would hate to be banned because of a newbie decapatating a pedestrian. this is not a beginner plane.

No, the BNF airplanes do not come with controllers. BNF stands for "Bind and Fly" which means you must already have a controller. Look for airplanes that say RTF, or "Ready to Fly." Those usually have controllers. Also try to find a plane that has "trainer" in the name. The Ultr-Micro P-51D would probably be a little bit too nimble for a beginner. Good Luck!

No it doesn't, it come with everything but a radio. I'd go with a spektrum DX5E, so that you can toggle the low and high rates easily without having to program. :)

Yeah it's a really good simulator and pretty realistic. I bought a pretty decent joystick for it too to enhance the experience. You can get one for about $20. I like using all the different plane options, and it'll also teach you patience because dinner flights last pretty long. Overall I like it a lot. You may want to take other opinions though because I don't really know much about flying or how nice other simulators are.

Junk buy a naze 32 or a cc3d openpilot or go on nitroplanes.com they have one thats better for 19.95$

It's an intermediate user's kit that's sold with all components (avoids trying to figure-out what components are needed). If you're a beginner, I'd suggest investing in some good flight simulator software.

I said yes it comes with a controller but you have to buy batteries for the controller. The helicopter itself has an attached battery which charges to the socket. It is worth the buy!

Yeah, the 4 channel ones allow sideways flight (strafing), and the stick controls thus match other 4 channel rc helis. The MCX control is also DSM2 standard and can be used with other helis, so you could save money on another one by buying BNF (bind and fly with nor remote).

Whoever created the listing did a poor job on naming it. If should say Realflight G7 Heli/Airplane Flight Simulator with Transmitter Interface (meaning it does not come with a controller - it comes with the adapter you use to connect your current real transmitter to your computer via the trainer port.

I am very new to Quads and RC vehicles as a whole but I am learning fast. The Spektrum DX5e is a good controller and works great. I am now looking to get a controller with more bells and whistles such as electronic readouts on it such as timers, battery levels and various other things I've been told the higher end ones can do but I am still researching the DX7's and higher. The get kind of pricey so what comes in the RTF box is awesome....you can always upgrade later.

Dont listen to these nerds. Of course it flies, its an airplane! It doesnt come with the radio, you have to buy all electronics yourself (radio, reciever, motors, servos, and speed controlls). Dont forget the tilt rotors which require an extra channel and motors. If youre inexprerienced I found that this is easy to fly with 2 heli gyros. So, yea.... I know its probably too late but go ahead and buy. Dummy

I agree with Caleb's answer to this question. I own both the Champ and Mini Super Cub and both are great for new r/c flyers. Both are inexpensive and come with their own transmitter. The Champ is great for doing beginner loops and touch and goes. I learned much about flying from the Champ.

Try the Hobby Zone Champ. It is a great beginners plane. My son has had one for two years and we still enjoy flying it.

Yes comes with everything you need to fly and even a few extra rhings.. If it say RTF that means is will come with everything. Lastly people say radio is not good but trust me it works fine, i modified the left stick so its nice and smooth instead of clicking(you'll know if you have 1), i really recommend this modification and wont hurt anything

A Transmitter is the "remote control" if you will. You can get one on here as long as it is DSM2®- or DSMX®-compatible. I recommend the Spektrum DX6i because it will allow you to use it on up to 10 aircraft but keep in mind this will require setup that is a little involved and not for a novice. DX6i DSMX 6-Channel Transmitter Only Mode 2 I personally own this plane and the DX6i and can tell you it is not a good beginner plane. It is a bit touchy and fairly fast. Go for a top wing model like a super cub for an easy plane to fly. A Transmitter is the "remote control" if you will. You can get one on here as long as it is DSM2®- or DSMX®-compatible.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

It didn't. I sent it back to them and they tried to blame it on my crashing it. But it never flew. Only flipped over backwards no matter how much trim or forward thrust I used. I have been flying R/C for 40 years. I think I know what to do. They even charged me a 15% restocking fee without offering a replacement. I wouldn't do business with these characters. However, my friend has one that works fine. About 15 minutes a charge. Find a different vendor.

It does come with a controller board. 90 degrees? I do not understand your question, however, it does have pitch and roll capabilities. I use it on a phantom dji, not sure what other models does support.

Use a DX6i or DX5e. they are both good controllers tht are compatible with this airplane
