Beautifully side-stepping the CAA's new Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education scheme, Volantex RC's new 4-function Sport Cub looks and flies every bit as well as a far (far) larger model, yet only carries a fraction of the weight. In fact, at 57g all-up it comes in almost 200g under the CAA's benchmark 250g registration requirement. In isolation that particular advantage isn't overly impressive however what makes this Cub rather special is the fact that it's so solid in the air, even in a breeze. Equipped with a finely tuned, switchable, 6-axis gyro stabilisation system this little model laughs in the face of turbulence and will have you utterly amazed by its speed range and STOL performance. Offered at a pocket money price, ready to fly, with everything included in the box, the versatility of this model for both indoor (sports hall) and outdoor (small field) flying is almost limitless. Put one on your prezzie list, get a group of friends together and get flying the best looking, best performing little high winger you've ever experienced.
This plane is sold in red and blue. You are looking at the listing for the blue plane. Most promotional images only show the red version, so we have included them so you can get a better idea of the product - the function of the two models is identical, it's just an alternate colour as in the first two pictures.
Spanning a suitcase-friendly 500mm, supplied with a four-channel 2.4GHz transmitter, single cell LiPo battery, USB charger and spare propeller, all you'll need to buy is 4AA batteries for the transmitter. Get one and enjoy the best R/C bang for buck you've had in ages.
This product makes a great gift as everything is included in the one box - the rechargeable battery is included, the radio handset is included and the charger is built into the handset. You just need alkaline (Duracell or similar) AA x 4 to complete.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Each plane we have has been test flown in the factory before being boxed up and sent direct to us. Each one is in full working order and will therefore fly perfectly. Please ensure you make your first flight on a still day on an open field with a grass or similar surface to minimise damage should you crash.
