Falcon RC Plane
My "Falcon" on it's maiden flight.
What a dream to fly, so so smooth.
It was just too cheap not to buy..HKD$100. Flys great, far too easy for anyone with previous experience.
Too easy even for a beginner i bet!
Only problem is it's hard to catch, a turn is made by the motors, so when you turn….. one of the motors has to run, driving you up again. The only way to could land is to line up about 40 ft away 15ft up & just let go……..the plane glides sooo well all hands free landings were perfect!
(see the video)
So if your at the train border to china (shenzen) have a quick look around, some real similar models to this, great for x-mas presants…!

ooh, wow. im thinking of getting this plane. is it the same one on the hobbytron and boomerang website? this is my first plane, and i want to get the best one for a good price, so naturally im going to want to ask some questionns.
Throw your plane …
Throw your plane into a gentle glide, if goes down soft and smooth after 10-20ft then it's good. I guess that your plane is a little tail heavy, point the elevators down a little bit, did it help? If not, put the elevators back to zero and add a coin to the nose of the plane, did that help? Wish you luck learning
so, you move the …
so, you move the elevators up before a fly?
Yes , same as you, …
Yes , same as you, they go flat sometimes after i fly too.
Nice Flight, I …
Nice Flight, I already have one it calls super fly wing but it´s the same plane (chinese) , but when i make the handlaunch it goes in a dive, did you move the rear elevators up?? for flying?? because after i "fly" i noticed that the elevators were straight, (sorry for my english)….
Thanks, a good …

Just tape the stick …
Just tape the stick on top.
I had just enough weight to allow it to balloon a tiny bit, make's thermals easyer, just add some weight to speed it up for acro flying.
Not a bad idea! …
Not a bad idea! Thanks! When you say you used a twig, was that in the foam core or on top?
With the extra nose weight it flew brilliantly, did you add extra weight? I did find that I had a little too much weight in there at first and it was flying very fast! Tricky to land in a ploughed field…
I did try to take some videos but I had to do it myself with camera stuck to transmitter. Not much plane footage…
Tape will work fine …
Tape will work fine, i recommend adding some form of support/splint as well as the tape, like a lollipop stick, when mine broke out in the field i just used a twig, work's well.
I took it out and …
I took it out and had a blast .. it ended up with a broken wing but some packing tape has hopefully sorted that out!
I've added a bit of weight to the front to hopefully stop it climbing and then stalling.
Wow, loads of fun
[I'll let you know how the tape fix goes]
Good luck, have fun …
Good luck, have fun. Video it!
cool video.. I …
cool video.. I received mine 12 hours ago, built it but had to get some batteries, which I just got… unfortunately, it's now midnight!
Tomorrow afternoon I'll take it for it's maiden flight.
