This ready to fly three channel flying model of the A380 includes 6G stabilization, and bright LED's for flying at dusk. It can also do loops! Find it here bit.ly/A380Airbus
Pros
- Good looking 540mm wingspan flying model of the Airbus A380. Comes with a display stand for showing off your airplane at home.
- Weighs only 106 grams with installed battery. It does not require registration in most countries.
- Powered by four 716 coreless motors. These motors are generic, and widely available should they need replacement.
- Ready to fly with its included transmitter. Transmitter provides up to 200 meters control range. Aircraft motors stop when signal is lost from the transmittere to prevent flyaway (I verified this).
- Three channel controls includes throttle, pitch, and yaw control. Yaw is achieved through differential thrust of its motors. Pitch control is achieved through servo control of the aircraft's elevators.
- Constructed of impact resistant EPP foam.
- 6G stabilization makes this airplane very easy to fly. Pitch angle restrictions may be turned off if desired, allowing the airplane to do loops.
- Uses very common 3.7V 550mah battery.
Cons
- It's a big airplane powered by little 716 motors. Don't expect much acrobatics from this plane. It's intended for true beginner fliers, helping them to learn the basics of flight.
- The little 3.7V 550mah battery is a bit small to power this plane for very long. Expect flight times of under 5 minutes. You'll probably want to buy additional batteries to keep flying. Fortunately similar batteries to the stock battery are cheap and widely available.
- If the battery is plugged in, there is a power drain, even if the switch is turned off. Always remember to unplug the battery when not flying the airplane. this is an important habit to learn for all RC vehicles. Unfortunately I forgot it for this flight ;-).
