HAWK'S WORK 4 Channel RC Plane, Remote Control Airplane Cessna Ready to Fly, Brushless Motor 6-axis Gyro Stabilizer 3 Flight Mode Stunt Flying, Easy Trainer for Beginner & Kid

It’s good for beginners if you keep it on the A setting

This flies OK, but the servos have a bit of trouble returning the control surfaces to their neutral point. It was calm enough this morning to take this out and give it a test flight. Before the test flight I checked out the centering on the control surfaces and their movements. They move a bit sluggish and don't have much travel, but this can actually be good in a trainer style plane. While testing it, I noticed that the control surfaces tended to not return all the way to their neutral point, and you had to give them a little counter input to get them back to neutral. I could not identify any issues with the push rods, this seems to be caused by play in the servo and/or servo horns. I took it out for some test flights and with the gyro inputs turned on, the sluggishness and play of the control surfaces was not a problem beyond a tenancy to yoyo up and down or wag its tail a bit. With the gyro turned off, you could defiantly notice the play in the servo controls, but at the same time it also gave you much more control over the control surfaces. It flies OK, with the gyro turned on, it is somewhat beginner friendly, but not as good as it could be. The plane can take a less than perfect landing with almost no damage beyond a few minor dents in the foam. I didn't have a landing hard enough to damage the propeller so I don't know if that hard of a landing would cause problems with the motor or motor mounts. The motor seems to have plenty of power, this thing will climb very well, and it could get out of range fairly quickly. It flies best at about 1/2 throttle. The range was OK, I never had it get out of range, but if it did, it would be hard to see at 200 meters. The controller is too much like a console gaming controller for me, but the younger generation may find it better than the old boxy style RC transmitters.

This is a nice starter plane. Flies great in low wind.

Low quality parts with a spotty receiver. After diy the missing landing gear and gluing together the broken nose cap. The plane flew ok but wind was no match and pulled it quickly out of range. Added a star as this may be a good plane I'll have to try and find it to know though.

Out of the box, the plane was mostly assembled. I just had to attach the wing and the landing gear, which took all of about ten minutes with the included screws. The battery charged in a reasonable amount of time, and the initial pairing with the remote was straightforward. For a first-timer, the self-stabilization mode really does help keep it level in the air; it took some getting used to the controls, but it wasn't overly sensitive. My step-daughter had a go with it too, and she picked up the basics pretty quickly in the stable mode. The plane has taken a couple of minor bumps on landing, and the foam body has held up without any cracks. The brushless motor provides decent power for getting it airborne, even in a bit of wind. The different flight modes offer a clear progression as you get more comfortable with the controls.

There is no such thing as a true "beginner friendly, RTF" RC airplane. There's a pretty large learning curve for those that are inexperienced with the hobby. Out of the box this, like every other plane, will need some tweaking and tuning to get it to fly correctly. That isn't the fault of this airplane, but the norm for RC airplanes. Nothing is perfect out of the box. Be prepared to learn and do lots of research. This one needed a lot of adjustments in the turnbuckles to get the controls level. This instructions clearly lay this out, so a newbie should be able to manage it without too many issues. Upon testing I could easily tell that the micro servos in this plane do not have enough torque to get a full throw of the controls. That's not all that out of the ordinary and it limits the range of motion of the controls which is GREAT for new pilots, but will leave experienced pilots disappointed because it's rather tame in the air. So much so that you need a lot of open space to allow for maneuvering, more than you would for other small planes. It flies well and is very easy to control in the air. Battery life is adequate for the size of the model and the gyro is a bitch twitchy in testing, but is totally fine in the air. If you are new you will crash and crash a lot. Foam can be repaired with packing tape and hot glue. Break it, fix it, fly it again. If you get the bug to fly more you can progress onto bigger and better and building your own. I think this little plane is totally fine for beginners. If you so choose it can be gutted down the road and have new electronics installed in it to get more fun out of it which is what I ended up doing rather quickly. Servo upgrades really bring this airframe to life, but will require a new receiver as the stock one doesn't have the power to really move anything else. I am pretty happy with it and will be giving it new life into the future.

Para mi sorpresa, vuela estupendamente. Y la ayuda del estabilizador funciona perfectamente. Gran compra por calidad/precio

Being a part time plane/drone hobby guy for 30 years I was impressed by the quality of this plane it was well formed and the gyro system/radio gear was very good, the brush-less motor was decent. I was disappointed when I opened the box to find no instruction manual and a third battery. Immediately I thought I had a previously returned item but as it was almost Christmas and the plane was for my son I wrapped it up and hoped for the best... When it was unboxed we had a closer look and realized the rudder would not line up straight even with full trim, so I crimped the push rod a little to correct this, after pre flight checks were made we went for a flight over a 3 acre paddock where we usually fly... after 7-8 minutes we were very impressed on mode c without the gyros on we could perform various stunts and were having a great time... then disaster, there was a breeze but nothing we couldn't handle even with a 2 channel plane but all of a sudden the radio gear lost control except for throttle and rudder so we spent the next 20 mins or fighting to bring it down. Sadly we failed and the plane went so high on the wind it must have landed a few miles away. so lost on Christmas eve :( I should have returned it for an unused/returned item, if I had I think we would have really enjoyed this addition to our collection for years!! highly recommend just make sure you receive what you paid for... I'll probably buy another!

The Plane broke 3 times one for the motor one for the plane and one for both it was fixable but still it’s Made out of styrofoam it IS NOT DURABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY other than that the 10 minutes of flight time I got was fun so 🤷🏼

This is the first time flying an RC plane. So, we are beginners which is what this plane is aimed at. All in all, we had a lot of fun and we look forward to the summer to try it out again. The assembly was very easy. Because of the material, the plane is very robust. It looks great. We watched a few videos online just to get some tips and an idea how to operate it. Very useful. We struggled to get the plane in the air from ground up. This is due to the ground surface being in a condition. So we opted to throw it. That worked for a short time. The wind plus with our inexperience, we couldn’t get it in the air long enough. We practiced enough until we were able to do two loops before crashing. The fun stopped shortly after because of the battery. Now, we did experience a few issues. Firstly the front wheels went missing. We assume during one of the crashes and we only noticed after we got home. No spare wheels unfortunately. The other issue is the mechanics that move the wings flaps got jammed a few times. We had to open it up and correct it. You will notice this if the plane refuses to go in the direction you want.

The HAWK’S WORK 4-channel RC plane is a fantastic introduction to remote-controlled aircraft. It’s easy to fly with its 3 flight modes, and the brushless motor provides good stability and control. The gyro stabilizer is a great feature for beginners, ensuring smooth flight. It’s an ideal option for kids and adults looking to get into RC planes, though it can take a little practice to master.
