DEERC 3CH Amphibious RC Plane for Water, Land & Air, Remote Control Airplane Flying Boat Toys,2.4GHz 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer RTF Glider Aircraft Jet for Kids Adults Beginners Boys

This set comes with an instruction manual, charging cord, screwdriver, 2 replacement propellers and 2 batteries. The plane is made from a dense foam and is very light weight.Because of the weather I wasn't able to take it out to fly, but I managed to take out a lamp in the house. This plane has a lot of power for its size, I can't wait to get it outside. If you like flying drones this will be a step up, I promise you, I highly recommend this plane.

I've been flying RC airplanes forever, but I have a friend who just can't catch on. Took this one. to the park. and he could actually fly on his own. EUREKA!As to the tumble part, this is the big plus. It's so light it doesn't even get damaged.

This one impresses me a lot. It's only the second amphibious plane I've owned, and the first with 3-channel controls.Having that third channel, which controls the elevator flap, is quite fun. It means I can climb or descend without altering my throttle inputs, and that makes for some great fun at the park, especially because I like to fly kinda slow.Most importantly, I am really enjoying landing on the water and taking off from the water. We have man-made a lake near me that was built for the use of model yacht enthusiasts, and that's where I've been sailing and flying this thing.It's cool as heck when park visitors see my DeeRC plane skimming around on the surface of the lake, assume it's just another radio-controlled boat, and then get a big surprise when it lifts off and starts flying!As always, DeeRC has provided a complete package here, and the workmanship on this foam flyer is top notch. Very glad I ordered this thing!

Versatile and easy to setup

I’ve had a few micro RC planes, and they all function similarly, but this amphibious RC plane is a first for me. My son loves these planes because they’re easy to fly, and I love them because they’re cheap. When he breaks one, it’s not a big deal.This plane flies like any other dual-prop micro RC plane. The pitch is always up, so if you’re giving it full power on both props, it climbs. Reduce power, and it starts descending. There are no ailerons or rudder. Control is achieved by varying thrust between the left and right props. Both props at full power make it go up. Full power on the left prop turns it right, and vice versa.What makes this model unique is that it’s amphibious. You can take off and land on water, which is a big plus for me. My son often crashes planes into water, which usually causes more damage than falling out of the sky. These planes are hard to break unless you fly into a tree or obstacle. Even from a high altitude with no battery, it glides down softly. It can handle hard landings because it’s so light.Today, my son and I tested the plane. He controlled it easily since he’s flown many similar planes, but we were excited to try it on water. I’m happy to report it can take off from water, although it takes a little time to lift off. It lands on water just fine too. If it flips during a water landing, which is easy to do, the props can touch the water and provide enough motion to bring it back. If it’s far from shore, retrieval could be tricky, but close to the shore, it works great. The remote’s range is on par with other planes we’ve used. You can fly it a good distance and maintain connectivity. Even if you lose connection, it glides back down safely for retrieval.There are some downsides. Because it’s so light, wind is always a concern. On a calm day, it’s super easy to fly. With a light breeze, you’ll need to fight the wind depending on its direction. It flies fast with the wind but struggles to return against it. Your best bet is to fly low and come back. In strong winds, it becomes very hard to control and wants to blow away. Since it always points up while flying, strong winds can generate lift without motor power. Without ailerons, you can’t adjust the wings to counter this, and the plane can keep climbing. We’ve lost a couple of these planes in strong winds, so avoid flying high on windy days.Battery life varies. On a calm day with basic flying, it lasts about 15 minutes. If it’s windy or you’re doing lots of maneuvers, the battery drains faster.Overall, for 50 bucks with a coupon, it’s a great value. It’s easy to fly, can take off and land on water, and is a lot of fun. There’s no steep learning curve like with traditional RC planes since you’re just adjusting thrust between the props. It’s simple and enjoyable to use.
