Well presented mate. A great selection . I have the A560 & love the quality of Radio link. I feature the A560 on my channel with various camera mounts that show off the 3D. Thank you for your input🦘🇦🇺🪃
Thanks - I have quite a few of these love the flying fish most of all, but perhaps not a beginner plane. Use to come with twin 1105 5500kv motors which on 4s made for a rocket ship. New seem to have 1105 4000kv. Still plenty of performance but those old 5500kv's made it a real cloud buster. Assume the 4000kv's have more torque? may be I should try some larger props...thanks again. Wish they'd do a brushless of the sport cub...that airframe flys beautifully
Great list, Tony. I've got several of those sub-250g planes and very much enjoy them as well. The XK P-51 is my night-stang. Use it for a cheap night flyer that lights up the sky! Question for you on the Radiolink D460 Turbot. What size 3s battery are you using? I fly it with the stock 2s battery (800 mah) and some similar sized Liperior 2s batteries that I picked up. But I usually find that most flying wings benefit greatly from extra nose weight, which I like to accomplish by using a larger battery. A 3s just might be perfect here. Thank you!
Thanks! I have a blast with all those planes. I use these LIPOs with an XT30 > JST Adapter: Tattu 3S1P 650mAh 75C Lipo with XT30 Plug: amzn.to/43OZkTn 2pcs GNB 3S 550mAh 80C LIPO with XT30 Plug: amzn.to/3mMsQbM 3pcs XT30 / XT-30 Male to JST Adapter: amzn.to/3IBPomY I like it with a neutral balance so I use 5g tail ballast weight when flying with these 3S LIPOs. If you like it a bit nose heavy you may be good without the tail ballast weight.
Thank You! Some of the test props worked very well indeed ;-) I'm not sure if it will handle 3S stock. It may be one where they pump the full LIPO voltage into the board.
@@tinkerzlab guy I saw with the 3s 700 said all stock but who knows but I know I’ve been running mine on 3s and 2s switching back and forth and no smoke or signs of any failure yet …just know not to use anything under 45c if I use a 3s …those 3s 300 30c just isn’t enuf esc gets super hot and battery
I like it better but it depends mostly on how you like to fly. I like the Eachine P51D 500mm because it has full manual mode and flies very well in that mode with a Hobby-Grade TX. The XK P51D only has the 3D Mode so you always have Gyro input. Those who prefer some Gyro stabilization will probably prefer the XK P51D.
@@tinkerzlab u never tried senior mode cuz you changed to the tx16 … on the stock transmitter it has a button on the right side next to antenna…6g and senior mode …u hit that is full blown diy flying .. it’s tuff but doable but I like having wind mitigation too
@@snauzze7007 I tried the Senior Mode with the Stock TX but it seemed to make the controls very sluggish as though the servos were responding very slowly. Nothing like flying with a Hobby-Grade TX.
@@tinkerzlab yea it’s tricky I tried it in low and high rates it’s doable but like u say a struggle …I keep it in 3d and high rates ..,figured out out to do all sorts of tricks in the wind … definitely love it in the winds better than calm
Hum...you may not realize this but this is a list of the best planes in which I've performed a review. How can I rate a plane I've never flown? Have e-Flite send me some planes to review and then I'll see how they stack up.

Thank You Much!
Thanks for the Picks... Gotta agree for the sub 250 out of the box RTF planes.
Thanks!
I think it's a pretty solid list as well ;-)
This list is spot on Tony !! I can't disagree with any plane on this list,nice job !!!
Thank You!
I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to test all these great flying plane.

I didn't realize they changed motors but I would think the 4000kv would indeed have more torque.
That Flying Fish is such a great flying plane.

I use these LIPOs with an XT30 > JST Adapter:
Tattu 3S1P 650mAh 75C Lipo with XT30 Plug: amzn.to/43OZkTn
2pcs GNB 3S 550mAh 80C LIPO with XT30 Plug: amzn.to/3mMsQbM
3pcs XT30 / XT-30 Male to JST Adapter: amzn.to/3IBPomY
I like it with a neutral balance so I use 5g tail ballast weight when flying with these 3S LIPOs.
If you like it a bit nose heavy you may be good without the tail ballast weight.
Thank you!
@@dandanthedandan54321 You are most welcome ;-)
Only thing I don’t like bout the a280 is the paint is peeling off on canopy and the sides close to lights
Yes, peeling paint seems to be an issue with a lot of these planes.
Can’t wait to see what you test out on that eachine warbird and I’m interested if it will handle a 3s stock with a 6x3 or 6x4.5
Thank You!

I'm not sure if it will handle 3S stock.
It may be one where they pump the full LIPO voltage into the board.
@@tinkerzlab I thought the a280 wouldn’t take 3s and I’ve seen someone running a 3s 700 120c in it … everything stock? How ?
@@snauzze7007 Yes, I've read post where they were using a 3S but I also think they were using a voltage regulator to lower the voltage to the board.

I’m surprised u like the eachine over the xk mustang wow …I wanna see you fly it on a 6x4 prop I’m figuring that’s what u tested on it

Not one eflite planes made it in there?!? Seems kinda bias considering some of the goody planes you picked.
