  • Wow. That plane flys nice. Why don't you make your customers planes fly like that? Anyways, save your money don't buy unless you want to be screwd over.

  • this plane is really bad , useless engine not powerful enough to even take off ! a waste of money don't buy !!!!

  • @giles503 Yea, just set the trip low put it on and trim it up. do this multable times and it will go as fast as you want.

  • i tried flying mine and i could never ge it up is it me or is it the plane

  • @pvtmeives hi i had the same problem as you ... its not you its the plane

  • banana hobby i am disapointed in that plane it isnt worth the 100$s i flew it and it banked left and i didnt turn it left dont buy it

  • Glad Pete can fly this one... This is one of only a couple of planes I'v e given up on and thrown away, basically a piece of junk which doesn't really have the power to climb to altitude and fly reasonably with the motor it comes with and doesn't fly well with stronger motors.

  • i brought one of these, it was awesome, handled realy well, then (i live in christchurch New Zealand) the christchurch earthquake brought and end to my corsair, as a T.V fell on it. And they are very hard to get a hold of in ChristChurch now, and was wondering how much it would be to get one from U.S.A

  • how long is the battery life?

  • @AlphaKennyl +15 min

  • mine recked on the first day lol

  • this same thing is on ebay for $160

  • wow.... foam rc

  • my one has elevator problems and the motor isnt powerful enough to go up !!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah right. i bought this plane, and it flew like crap. he didn't tell you all the extra things you have to do before you fly it. like the tail is to heavy, the nose needs to be weighted, the trim all needs to be adjusted before the plane even hits the air., its underpowered. crash resistant, ha, it went up ten feet and crashed breaking the laminated wood support in the gullwing. the prop gear box is cheaply made broke, first crash from ten feet up pushed the wood prop support into the plane.

  • @rob6364

    I have to agree with you 100%.This was my newest plane and it lasted about a month.I managed to get one good flight then it was never the same afterwards.Most of the plane is just glued together.The motor is mounted to a wood stick and the stick is glued to styrofoam.That I think is the biggest flaw.You get what you pay for

  • thumb up if this plan used to kill king kong right

  • dont buy anything from them. they are crooks and dishonest company. they sell reject products. Pete only want to sell but they never want to fix or give refunds. by from parkzone or hobbyzone.

  • Can you do loops and fly upside down with this plane?

  • The ailerons wouldn't move on mine and when i turned it on it started smoking inside. Turns out the circuit board was fried. The battery was too. Didn't even get to fly it after waiting 2 months. But i'm ordering a circuit board and a battery pack so I hope everything is going to work just fine.

  • i just got the same plane today fly's great keep up the great flight reviews pete

  • Ordered this plane and it arrived in just 8 days via USPS, travelling over 3000miles. Beautiful plane, flys great. Thanks BananaHobby :-)

  • i wish i had his job so bad! he just plays with airplanes the whole day and gets paid. i bet his friends make fun of him. they make fun of me for playing with ¨airplanes¨ but screw them thats like almost my dream job haha

  • "Professional Lifetime Tech Support only at Banana Hobby" support my ass!

    purchesed RTF plane. Regulator burned at first fieldtest. And there is NO WAY to contact them by phone or email. THERE IS NO SUPPORT. DONT BUY SHIT FROM THOSE LOOSERS

  • If I had a plane I would fly it to the moon and get some cheese.

  • how much flight time does this have on average?

  • Hey I've just purchased one of these and I must say R/C has come a long way in 25 years since I last flew. Unfortunately on turn in to final approach I stalled it, my fault,c.o.g. was wrong, I hadn't put the battery far enough forward. Now doing repairs to the engine mount spar, is there any down thrust built into these. Cheers Rob.

  • ive herd bad things about this company

  • @McDonaldsSuck123 No shit! Made that mistake myslelf to purchase from them.Regulator burned at first try.And there was no way to get responce from them.

  • I've heard so many bad things about this company.

    If you type "banana hobby" on google, on of the first options that comes up is "banana hobby complaints". That says alot.

  • I think it's quality control issues. I've yet to get mine in the air, as the control surfaces had little authority. Also, I'm a crap pilot ;) but some extra work was needed out of the box to get everything to move properly, and remain straight and level in resting position.

    Setup aside, the plane itself seems of good quality, and the canopy can fit a generic 3S lipo as high as 1800mAh in capacity, it actually seems to be cut for it. I put mine on lipos straight away!

  • Oh, the planes themselves are fantastc, I had one. They are aerobatic and fly great.

    But Banana Hobby has such a bad reputation for taking money and then not delivering anything. I want to warn people to look out for them.

    Type banana hobby on google; one of the options that will come up will be "banana hobby complaints". That says alot.

  • this plane comes with a bigger propeller and a smaller one..im new to rc planes to and want to know wats better

  • what are the size of each one? I guess one of them is 1080 (10x8) but the other one?

  • a shorter propellers.. yeah but just want to know which is better

  • bigger is slower

  • Don't do business with Banana Hobby. Taking money without sending a product is stealing. Thieves! Don't answer phones! Send out fake shipping information. Just google the company for pages and pages of bad reviews

  • I 2nd that. Been waiting 2 weeks for mine.

  • I've been waiting for more than 4 now. Still waiting! Tracking number is fake. I'm in the process of filing a small claims suit. Banana Hobby should be served sometime this week. Maybe a judgement will help this kid learn the importance of honesty and good customer service.

  • I can't thank you guys enough for these comments because i was going to order from them, but i will do business elsewhere

  • @ryansaif I got a different plane and I got mine about 1.5 weeks later. The only way you can get in touch with them is to use the online tech support. I did and I got someone but I did wait 30 mins. so if you know what you are doing they are cheapest place on the web for these types of planes!

  • Im from Costa Rica im ordering this plane tomorrow, I hope the order is shiped in a fast way thanks for this awesome review!

  • Hola... jaja por fin alguien a quien pedirle un poco de ayuda!, quisiera saber si se puede hacer vuelo invertido con este avion...se puede????

  • im 13 years old and im from finland. can you say how long it takes to bring that corsair to finland?

  • i would say 7-10 days also me i dont like dynam products there are better plane out there you just have t pay a little more

  • get a parkzone plane. they are much better than these. i am 14 and i have a t-28 trojan.

  • I'm 12 and got one of these for my birthday and its REALLY cool. I'm used to cheap 2-channel rc planes and i used realflight G4 demo to learn how to fly a 4-channel lol. Now i can do outside loops and barrel roles and i can land this plane perfectly. Its a really good buy and it handles great so if you want a good first or just another rc-plane this is a good buy!

  • do u include transportation???

  • r u going 2 have a shop ???or just stick with the web???

  • Pffft...toxic much? Having done a bit of research on these types, I reckon the price is reasonable and note that these sellers are one of the few that have bothered to do full reviews with easy access to it via youtube. Take a chill pill, dude! Foam planes break (note the spelling) so do balsa/ply and monocote variants.

  • do u have a shop ..not included the website

  • No shop as of yet. Soon!

  • @bananahobby thats right no shop and no SUPPORT either!

  • hey i just bought a hobby zone super cub and i went out and flew it today and i was in the air for about 3 min then i crashed it into the ground and i broke it in half and these planes are pretty cheap and look awesome and i was wondering if it is a good beginer plane

  • If I were you, i'd stay with the super cub. Even though you broke it in half, that's nothing a little glue and packing tape cant fix. I did the same thing to mine. I glued it up, taped it up, and it was back in the air in no time. These planes are really meant for someone who is trained enough that they can adapt to whatever they're flying.

  • hey bananahobby i am going two place my order in two weeks when i have the money but this is my dream plane i have always wanted a cheap BIG plane not a little $20 3'' long plane but i always crash what ever i fly, trying to land wheather its a helicopter a plane or what ever so any tips on landing THIS particular plane?

  • You just want to always keep in mind that airspeed is your friend. Carry enough air speed on a landing approach and use small stick movements to guide a landing.

  • The largest aircraft we carry at a great price would be in the TW range. Check out the TW Cessna.

  • @bananahobby

    what is the flight time on the regular battery on this plane? and would it be possible to order a upgraded (more powerful) battery for this plane? i ordered one last week and im very excited to get it.

  • @bvm1986 chink is not going to answer. He is too busy ripping people of. Dont buy shit from him! And to answer your question: you get up to 10 minutes. And Yes you can buy li-pol battery with more vhoom.

  • @bananahobby I have a question. how much training do i need to make an inverted flight with this? (i can do it in the FMS flight sim with the Extra)

  • umm yes is it good for your 1s time rc plane

  • Thank you!

    Do you recommend that for a beginer? :)

  • my friends dad got one and it completely shattered from hitting the ground

  • Nice looking plane, just placed my order =) Great flying, nice review...should be a great 2nd plane...with the super mini cub being my 1st!

  • Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions! Happy Flying!

  • i have this one its amazing plane...i crashed it

  • Comment removed

  • what does it mean if the red light on the transmitter is flashing?

  • It means the transmitter batteries are too weak. Get some new alkalines.

  • How do you build your planes so well pete ?? When I built my TW cessna, it was quite asymmetrical and the back wheel totally of the center axis of the fuselage. Maybe I just got a defective package.

  • Comment removed

  • How did you learn to fly?

  • My dad taught me.

  • how high does this one go???

  • the ailerons on my plane moves just a very little, how do you fix that?

  • The movement doesnt look like much, but it will sure roll the plane. If you adjust for more throw, it will just crash.

  • Thank you for answering! It is a deceiving view to see the control surface not move enough to the eye. In the air, it is plenty enough!

  • well where the servo connects to the horn thing, put the connectors higher up on the horn so it has more leverage!

  • thank you

  • Thanks!

  • Whats the name of the song?

  • how long will it take to ship it to europe? ive been waiting for 1 week

  • Shipping to Europe can take as long as 2 to 3 weeks. Can be as fast as 10 days as well. It all depends on your local government as well.

  • ok, thank you, but i got it and it took 1½ week. Im really happy with the support from your website too!

  • ´can you land on grass with this if the grass is on a soccer field

  • As long as the grass is groomed short.

  • Comment removed

  • Just wanted to know if my servo has been sent. I have spoken to you guys 3 times now and I have not gotten any confirmation whether it was being sent or what! I have NOT flown the TW748 plane since the day it came because of this defective servo! What's going on down there??!! This is bad customer service you guys are showing. You guys are BBB Accredited??? If you guys don't get me this servo very soon I will have no choice but to return the item for refund.

  • It was shipped on the 21st of May. It shows DELIVERED to your residence! Thanks for your patience!

  • My plane was taken care of and sent. Thank you very much.

  • It just slides rite in there eh Pete :p

  • LOL

  • You should sell parkzone planes :)

    Or just do a review on the parkzone trojan t-28, your reviews are awesome and there is no good video reviews on the trojan.

  • hallo is the TW748-2 mustang P51 no good because i find no reviews about this one. i really like it can you tell me is the P51 good flying thanks pete.

  • I have not reviewed that P-51 as of yet. Thanks!

  • Cool!  Where did you send the PM to?

  • Comment removed

  • I sent the pm to you here in youtube. :) Hurry my shipping please I want to fly it already. :)

  • I will check now! Thanks!

  • I didn't get a message with an order number to track your order?

  • I sent you a PM regarding my order number.

  • Can these be upgraded and modded?

  • Sure can! You can go brushless and lipo if you choose!

  • hmmmm...

    not good for me cos i not have credit card...

  • im from malaysian...

    where i want to buy this???

    please help me..

  • We sell it on our site. We ship worldwide as well!

  • hi i m from germany can you tell were i can get this plane. and by the way your a great pilot greetings from bavaria.

  • Thanks for your comment! You can get this on our site! We ship worldwide and have regular customers in Germany.

  • What is Brushless Vs. Brushed?

  • Brushless motors are more efficient and have more power in most occasions. =)

  • It's a great plane. And VERY NICE video.

  • Thank you for the comment!

  • very cool video can you make a review of the su 47 and the products can you send theme to mexico thanks

  • We ship worldwide! I will ad the SU to the video list.

  • Not bad for $100.00 and looks like it flies great!!!, but I prefer the Parkzone Corsair, it comes brushless, lipo and 2.4 ghz, obviously more money tho!!!....I will check out ur website

  • Thanks!

  • Do you wholesale to hobby shops?

  • We sure do!  Thanks!

  • Great....I dont want to say the name of my hobby shop here in the comments, can you give me an example of the wholesale price would be on this corsair in a private message or an approximate percentage of savings? Thanks, Dennis

  • ola maravilha de video como seria para mandar os aeromodelos para o Brasil como seria o frete

  • Você pode realmente tirar o frete diretamente no nosso site. Obrigado!

  • Hey Pete. Just had my maiden flight with this model and WOW! I'm no pro but she made me look like one! Perfect performance and control. Best buy ever!

  • Thanks for the comment! It is so awesome to hear that you are loving your Corsair! Enjoy it my friend and get a video up if you can!

  • They are available on different frequencies. When you place an order, there is a comment box. Write clearly in the comment box that you need the 2 to be shipped on separate frequencies.

  • I don't know where you can find one for that cheap. Maybe ebay?

  • Yes it sure is!

  • but as i said for $99 starter plane you cant beat it just dont have you hopes high and expect and uber plane for $99 and youll be fine i am very happy about my purchase

  • Thanks for the comment! For the price, this is a great plane to have fun, sport fly or learn with!

  • .i still wish i would have known about the parkzone model i would have got that one first only because i feel like im advancing very fast and now i have to go out and spend more money for more power rather just investing in something that its been a month and to be seems under powered ..for a first purchase it is a great buy :) 4/5

  • You can just buy a brushless motor and esc combo and a lipo battery for about 60 bucks and there you go! Parkzone plane is another 200 bucks.

  • i have to say i bought this as my first airplane and i thought yeah $99 prolly really crappy..right? i was wrong it flys nicer then i thought it would and as a novice very easy to fly...

  • hey how much is the shipping for ur planes

  • You can ad to cart on our site and it will give you the exact shipping amount to your location.

  • I had the chance to see one of these fly and got to honestly get a little stick time on one (this is a good 2nd or 3rd aileron plane not for the first time pilot. but once you have mastered Ailerons easy to fly!

  • It sure is fun to fly! Thanks for the comment!

  • what material is it made out of? fome or plastic?

  • It is made of EPO foam.

  • I noticed that it is a stick type mount. Is it actually 10mm like the GWS ones? I was thinking of getting a GWS motor mount a sticking a brushless motor on it. It looks like a good airframe.

  • Yep you sure can use a brushless! It is a stick mount!

  • Is there a brushless you would recommend?

  • I want to buy this!!! is it good for a first 4 channel?? ive flown 3 channels for a while, and i want something with ailerons. BTW, all my planes were "toy" planes.

  • Honestly, go with with something more expensive if you want to step up to a 4 channel. Get a Parkzone T-28 or corsair. Their about 160$ more but the reliablility is more.

  • Thanks, but the RTF version costs 280 bucks!! my mom will never let me buy something that expensive. Thanks anyway!!

  • You get what you pay for! ;) The t-28 ive seen for 224$

  • Thanks, but the RTF version costs 280 bucks!! my mom will never let me buy something that expensive. Thanks anyway!! I will probably go for a cessna or citabria. They are cool too!!!

  • That is where this aircraft excels. It is under 100.00 and the performance is just excellent! Aerobatics are fun as well!

  • This will be a good transition from a 3 channel. It is made of EPO foam so crash resistance is much better than regular foam. If you have basic 3 channel knowledge, this will be a great next step!

  • How is the range? I heard that this is just a basic 27mhz transmitter and does not work properly on some. Does it come on differnet 27mhz channels, or is it just 27mhz. Have you had any range problems, cut outs, etc? Thanks!

  • I have test flown on all the stock gear. I have not had any issues with the stock gear. If there is an issue, please let me know!

  • I've heard that it's just a plain 27MhZ Tx and that it's range is horrible. I don't know if that's a rumor, or what.. Please let me know!

  • 27mhz works just fine. In the video I used all stock components that comes in the package. Whether its 27mhz or 72mhz, if there is a radio issue, we will resolve it. Thnanks!

  • So what happens If I fly this plane, and it goes out of range and it gets completely ruined?

  • It will not go out of range. Any aircraft on 27 or 72 or even 2.4, it is like clock work for the pilot to range check the aircraft on the ground before flight. If there is a range issue at that time you will know. Contact me and I will resolve it.

  • Thanks pete.

  • Anytime!
