@@Quadcopter101See if you can get it to bind to a Raidomaster. This thing does look cool. It's available everywhere for about 60 bucks under a few different brand names.
I had the Air Hogs version of this thing called 'Storm Launcher'.. sadly discontinued but simply fun and cheap! I might have to grab one for nostalgia's sake. They fly great for what they are.
My drone was land air sea. First I had it on land. Then it flew away. And then it landed in the water. It even had a submarine mode that was't mentioned in the manual.
1 thing that we found with the working plane is that it uses MT99XX/F949G protocol so you can run it on a Multi Radio with recent firmware. Only needed Ailerons reversed on the Jumper T-lite v2.
This is amazing!!!! I just have to get one of a these babies !!!! Thank you for such a great video just like all of your videos are... ..stay safe out there
I got this along with another beginner rc plane, of the two, this one is far easier to land and control. I would absolutely recommend this as the plane to start with.
Nope. I've upgraded to a new(er) top of the line $80 Akaso V50 camera (I'm just not an Apple/DJI/GoPro kind of guy). It records 4K @ 30fps. But for most of the time, I simply use 1080p @60fps (such as in this video).
@@Quadcopter101 I used to use a Yi camera then a Firefly 8s but a few years ago I upgraded to an Osmo Action and it is just so good. It was well worth the money for the EIS alone and 4k@60fps which I use for most of my videos. I do love my cheap budget action cameras especially to play around with. I'm also not an Apple guy so I use a Pixel 7 along with a Lumix DSLR and my Osmo Action. I used to hate DJI as well but it is impossible to hate them now because my Mini 2 is just so good and affordable. Nothing in that price range comes close to the Mini 2.
@@Quadcopter101 yep and with the Mini 3 and 4 both having RID included even though DJI didn't have to include it just makes the Mini 2 more appealing. I was more of an Autel guy but my EVO died last year but I got many years of use out of it. I really needed a new drone with good range so when the Mini 2 Costco bundle came up at $399 with an extra battery, carrying case and SD card I simply couldn't pass it up at that price
A question Me Old Mate! The Banggood sales site blurb shows that the plane can be driven in reverse if flipped over in the drink. (I presume it would be best to do that since with the props in the water you'd want to unload the motors a bit.) Is that just another case of BS from the Bimbo Brigade in the Banggood Art Department? Or does the manual show how to achieve it? Possibly throttle held down and 1 of the shoulder buttons held down for a few seconds like on the XiaXiu H650 Paptor(sic) Land Sea Air that we have from Bangers? 🤔
It's possible. It's just for emergency so you don't have to wade into the water if you crash. Push forward on the pitch to go forward. However left-right control is reversed when upside down.
Ah! So you just continue to drive it forward, NOT in reverse as implied by the arrow on the picture in the sales listing? You would have to be VERY careful doing that to dodge burning the motors/driving transistors from the heavy load on them with the props in the water! 😱@@Quadcopter101
this seems quite superior to the yf350 in terms of flying despite the yf350 strongly resembles mini xpv which was one of the best fliers back in the mid 2000's, far better than the storm launch that this kf603 looks closer to, had a sort of stealthy/batwing look to it being black too. of course the elevator on the kf603 is the main reason while it seems there is also better power to weight ratio and less wing width making the roll momentum snappier, different cg.
Mine is arriving today. I actually purchased it to fly inside in a basketball court. Do you think it will fly slow enough? Thanks, your videos are very interesting.
To slow it down, pull back on the elevator stick, and reduce the throttle to maintain altitude. Watch how in the video I can fly very slow circles around myself by doing this.
I bought the plane you are reviewing and somehow I lost the rod that controls the flap tail wing,!would you happen to know where to find parts for the plane
My mate received 2 of these earlier this week. Tested his - worked fine. I picked up the other 1 and opened it up today. Can't get the plane to turn on!!! We tried to lodge a ticket last thing today because the claim period was running out. No working camera to hand and 👿 Banggood will not allow a ticket to be lodged UNLESS a photo (at least) is included. Have to do another trip out the bush in the morning with a camera and hope that the ticket can still be lodged! 🤬
@@Quadcopter101 Yep. Both units are the 3-battery package. Tried 4 batteries, including cross-checking on the working unit. Switch seems to click but just won't turn on so no other tests can be done. The electronics are glued shut so we'll have to wait on Banggood for what they will do before going in with the wrecking bar. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Better update this! The dud one turned out to have a bad receiver battery lead. Not easy to fix but eventually got it bodged up without wrecking the airframe. Fun to fly when the wind dies down - a bit wonky when the storms come through! 😉😊
@@stratoleftOdd sort of comment - but certainly you will always have to scale your selection of flying toy to suit the current wind conditions. No wind - little toys like this. Blowing a gale - switch to high power to weight wings and twins on multi cell batteries. Surprising how much breeze our little Eachine/AtomRC Flying Fish twins can handle on 3s. 😉😊
I always wonder who are the genius’ who create these fun/cool toys. I loved flying drones but the guys at the flying field near me hate them. That being said I understand their stuff is way more valuable so it’s not worth it to fly around them.
so what if they hate them. it's a flying field. where else are you to go with people who hate them less? I've found far more hostility outside the flying field. Also depends on the flier, keeping a certain cushion between your paths and others locations so they have less reason to whine....not spying on/trolling people etc.

@@erikrasmussen5804 yes it did. You can specify between 2 and 3 batteries so I chose 3.

id love to modify with longer battery life and maybe switching over to elrs and fpv. wonder if you might consider doing this?
cool vid, thanks!
This bird always flies past the trees, my birds love to rest on branches
this looks so much fun to fly :D
I would like to see a video where you fly it in the ground effect for an extended period.
Soo... which one is better in your opinion? The last one without control surfaces or this one? i want to buy one for the summer...
I like this one better. The control surface enables it to do very short takeoffs, along with very slow flying if desired.

I just got one today and flipped it about 40 yards from me and it came back with decent steering upside down
@@billwalker632 Thanks Bill.
What happens when it flips over in the water? Are you stuck in the middle of the lake or is there a way you can flip it over by the controller?
The propellers work in the water too. You drive it back to you like a boat.

How about on a windy day prob not so good right?
It will still fly. It does have stabilization. I had a wind about 5 mph from my back when I flew it in the field.
Now the old Air Hogs version did not have gyro stabilization. I could see that one being a problem.
Just like flying in general. I wouldn't.
I was hoping you might try the "it can even come back to you if it lands in the water upside down" :D :D
Can you turn off the auto-leveling or is it on all the time?
All the time. This can't do loops.
Liftoff at 11:50 mark.
You think this can put a VTX on it for FPV?
Nice 60fps footage
that's actually pretty cool.
Yes it is. I enjoyed flying it very much. I'm keeping this one.
