Ignore bad comments about GPS Features.

This is a long-discontinued airplane, but if you find one at a swap meet, do not hesitate. This is one of my favorites. It gets a lot of bad reviews because of the GPS and intelligent functions. JUST TURN THE GPS INTO Indoor Mode. " Use SAFE if you want to. It works perfectly. The plane is one of the easiest beginner planes I have ever seen. If you have one of these and hate it, contact me and tell me how much you want!

Even I Could Fly This Plane

I have flown little drones but never a plane. I wanted to keep things simple so I turned off the GPS. I bound it with my frsky x7/irx4. I checked that the sticks moved the control surfaces in the right direction. Then I checked to make sure safe mode compensated in the right directions. I set in down, gave it some throttle, and Woo-hoo! I'm flying! I flew the first 2 batteries in safe mode, then a battery in intermediate mode. Then I went home and ordered more batteries. The next time out, I only flipped it back to safe when I was in trouble. I've flown beyond my ability and crashed, but it's so exciting, I can't stop being a reckless fool. I've flown this thing for 5 months and I just replaced all the glued-up foam parts for 1/3 the cost of the original plane. It flies like new. I think my dog could fly this plane, but she is a border collie-your dog may vary.

Champ s + problems

Ok first i want to say if you are learning how to fly this will do the trick. But there are flaws with this plane 1 something is causing the plane to act like it hit the fence but just flys away at 65 feet and full speed 2 out of 4 have flown away ! 2 there seams to be something in the flight mode setup flight mode one hold full down elevator and switch to flight mode two the elevator moves up this reduction in elevator makes it all most imposable to bring the plane down while flying in flight mode 2 As i have had some as3x programing i think that the problem might be flight envelope for flight mode one and two are reversed for the elevator as the roll and yah are greater in flight mode two I have serval friends all have champ s+ all of them have the same problem some of them are bind and fly and some are ready to fly tec support refuses to check this out without you sending the product back i think this is a joke as they have this product there just get one off the shelf do a little product testing with out having your customers spend money on shipping
