HobbyZone Champ RTF Micro RC Airplane by Hobby Zone

[194TRAXXASRC]

Cool plane!! and great video!! I might get one as my first RC plane. Any ideas or opinions on this plane on a good way to beggin and land my first flight..Thanks!

[RCAirman3562]

Sick plane, so gonna get 1!!

[bobbybaseball17]

nice i have one...i subbed 2 u!

[tntcaliente]

Nice landing

[BLIZZARDSTORM98]

It has good turning capability and is great for it's price!!! It's nice and light and probably one of the best beginner planes out there where you can fly in your backyard or even a basketball court once you get really good!

[BLIZZARDSTORM98]

I just bought one. The wing broke off cause it's cheap foam and only crashed it once softly in grass! It still is a good plane that does cool flips!

[robbie2737]

@BLIZZARDSTORM98 How much does it cost to get the wing fixed? I was thinking of getting this...Thanks

[BLIZZARDSTORM98]

@robbie2737 Hey. It doesn't cost much. The reason why mine broke off is cause i did a nosedive from attempting a bigg front flip. I also got a new tail and battery. If you go to a hobby store they will replace it for you and it will only cost like 3 bucks!

[robbie2737]

@BLIZZARDSTORM98 3 bucks? thats it? I'm in...thats a fair price...I've been a Heli guy,but looking to get into Planes..thx again

[Airsoftkid852]

Cheap

[josephphamoldman]

i lost mine when flyed it

[REDROCKETHOBBIES]

@Zs18999

Yes it's one of our most popular trainer planes. It's not crash proof and will get damaged if you crash it, but it is a very stable and nice flying platform for the price. We currently have a free extra battery promotion going too which is nice. Thanks for your comments.

[Zs18999]

@REDROCKETHOBBIES Hi I was looking for a beginner RC plane and so when I looked around on different forums I found this plane. Is it good for a person who has little experience about flying RC Planes?

[birdwatcherlj]

I have one. They are very durable, but do not have the best service. My champs' prop cap fell off, but it did not matter. I crash landed it on a pond one time. The plane was under water for 2 seconds but then flew out. Then it stopped working. I waited for it to wash up and it was not working when I got it out. The next day I tried different procedures to get it to turn on and it worked. :-)

[TheRandomguytom]

@birdwatcherlj holy crap you serial??? thats epic cant wait to get the plane now!!!!

[birdwatcherlj]

@TheRandomguytom yup, ima' serial. but i flew it like 400 feet away. ofcourse ah was bein' a complete IDIOT and ah flew it in to the forest and went a lookn' but NOPE, ah didnt find it. So ah got mahsealf a supah cub. I CRASHD' IT DA WEEK AFTR AH' GOT IT AND WENT TO DEE HOBBYSTORE AND PAYD 50$ BUCKS TO REPAIR IT AND AH'M A NEVA EVA GONNA UNDA ESTAMATE DA WIND AGAIN. no, i am not texan.

[Biodude377]

Never having flown an RC plane before, I picked one of these up two weeks ago and have enjoyed flying it tremendously! It's very sturdy, very easy to fly and very forgiving!  It definitely does NOT suck despite what another reviewer said!

[ACIsrock]

my aunt has this plane, how much?

[Walleby1]

Is this plane easy to fly?? Is it good for beginners?

[Articdruid]

I'm getting this plane on Tuesday i cant wait :D

[robbie2737]

@Articdruid Did you get the plane...How is it? considering buying one soon...Thx

[hlh3rd]

After buying and now flying the Champ for a couple of weeks, all I can say is Wow! My first couple of flights were kind of rough, and I made most of the typical newbie mistakes. Despite this, the plane held up perfectly, and now my flights and landings are much smoother, and I accomplished this in a very short period of time. Those who say this plane sucks or is junk, are too stupid to do just about anything. 52outbound probably doesn't even know how to use toilet paper to wipe his butt.

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

i like mine but i tihnk mine has a few probs in this vid the plane can flip and all of that if i attemted that in im it comes back to earth in a huge crash

[dumpster988]

i have this plane and i love it yes it breakes i had to buy a new ruder but it is really simple to fly and is great

[hlh3rd]

I've been interested in trying an RC plane for a few years also. This nice little plane is the perfect thing for me to get started. This plane is inexpensive, seams pretty user friendly, and replacement parts are also inexpensive and easy to order on line when something does break.

The main thing that held me back was seeing video, much of it on YouTube, of larger, more powerful, and more expensive RC planes turned to unusable piles of balsa and foam in seconds after a crash.

[itakeyouthere]

The first rc plane ive owned. & I never looked back...

[MrSpideradam]

Anti-Crash Technology any good or not? o ad both first flight and second bothc act both crash

[52outbound]

no i bought the real thing and no i didnt know how to fly but thats the point of it to learn how to fly and i did read the manual

[DustOffUH1]

@52outbound you're a complete liar, and fool. This plane is an AWESOME plane. I had a few "mishaps" when I first started flying, and it wasn't damaged in the least!

[skagui1]

the champ rtf 3 channel or four channel

[sykescalvin09]

@skagui1: 3-channel

[codienneosh]

I LOVE the idea, but how about a set for the cub?

Also, all the floats I've ever seen have been bare aluminum. It would be nice to have that color as a base.

I plan to get a champ one of these days, but right now, even in micro sizes I'm getting crowded out of house and home by airplanes. I'm not complaining, except to say that I've got no place to put the durned thing if I get it.

Hmm... I can store floatplanes in the bathtub!

[traindc]

the first time i took it out the tail top tail came of thanks! there goes 98$ can i fix it or will you fix it

[BobbyJEL101]

So is there a difference between this and the parkzone micro j-3 cub? Will they both work with my dx8? I'm thinking so...

[SkatingIsMyWayOfLife]

I just got mine today and took it on its first flight in a big field unfortunately it only lasted about 8 seconds a small breeze came out of no where and took it away straight into a tree the tree cut both wings off I ordered new wings but my propeller looks bent weird when I have it apart and the body off its still glued down and the prop shaft looks straight is it just how its made? does anyone know if the prop looks like it kind of angles down like mine looks completely straight vertically

[1viva]

@SkatingIsMyWayOfLife Poor you, that's a bummer!. I'm sorry to hear that! :-(

[Kiwideno]

@SkatingIsMyWayOfLife if no one has answered your question then when the plane is sitting on the table on the landing gear the the prop shaft should be straight, and in level flight it will be slightly down.

[SkatingIsMyWayOfLife]

@Kiwideno thanks that answered my question



[londonjig]

How do electric planes accelerate while in air?

[52outbound]

i dont suck that piece of crap does DONT BUY IT NO MATTER WHAT REASON

[EDGEX24]

ii just got 1 today and i took it to a local field and "attempted" to fly it haha the wind "which was like 20 mph today" took it and carried it 1000meters or so. i found it after like 20 min. i heard the noise. nothing happened at all it is very durable. this is my first rc plane

[52outbound]

@EDGEX24 mine was destroid within a week

[communion99]

instead of the 3.7v 250mah battery, can i use 3.7v 450 mah battery? i use those for my mini helis.....

[RyanJ3772]

Got this little plane today. Boy does this plane rock.. Flew it in some pretty good wind for this little plane (10mph maybe) Was able to get some good flights in. Did some flips to show off to the little kids at the park. Just ordered 2 160mah batterys for it.. If you break it then you must suck at flying this little guy can take some crashes and is pretty easy to get out of a crash by letting go of the stick and pulling up. to slow down.

[everythingboy13]

is it worth th emoney lik e80 nucks on ebay with an dextra 160 mah batrery included along wit hthe stock battery

[skaterjerk9]

Hello. I'm really into Avation and I wanted to get into these "micro rc planes". Is this really good for a beginner (I only flew rc helicopters)?

[N4161X]

@skaterjerk9 yeah realy stable small movements are the key use to have this now i have a huge aprentice rtf

[traindc]

1:02 nice little touch and go.

[BBLACKAZ]

My dog chomped The Champ on approach to land...couple K9 marks... that didn't stop The Champ! DURABLE

[175myles]

I bought one today, haven't had much flight time but I parked it in a tree, crashed into my car and landed it upside down a few times then I started getting the hang of it (Mind you this was all at night and all I could see was the bright red LED)

[52outbound]

i got it as a bigginer plane and it broke in the first week

[175myles]

Can I use 4x 1.2v Nickel-Metal Hydride 2450mAh batteries in the plane?

[Rcflyyer1]

this plane taught me to fly and built up my confidence! Recomend Buying

[hl2vshalo2]

this is possibly the best plane you can get to learn RC flight. it was one of my first, and i highly reccomend it to everyone. its a very laid back plane when flying, and is a huge joy. should you get any parkzone ultra micro planes, the champ's battery and remote is fully compatible.

[TRAPBOULTERNAS]

i got this plane for christmas

[chrisallen1074]

The champ is one cool plane. I would recommend it to every one of all ages. please feel free to view. ChrisAllen1074

[spyhunter2010]

is this a good choice for beginners? the last time i was told a plane was good for me it ended up smashed. i have a small field surrounded by trees near my house and this looks like a good flyer.

[patemansmith1]

@52outbound i crashed mine into the celling and it fell hard on the ground and it survived

[REDROCKETHOBBIES]

@52outbound We have sold hundreds of these planes and had very good feedback. You must have had a very hard crash.

[patemansmith1]

@REDROCKETHOBBIES im new to the hobby and well i got the parkzone night vapor and the hobbyzone champ i ant gunna fly the champ till i get good with the vapor but would this plane be good 4 me any tips?

[sommertyme]

@patemansmith1 just make sure you wait for a breeze-free day.

[CooLKiD640]

@52outbound its not the plane that sucks.........you suck if u crash it i just flew min like 5 times today and dont crash it so........

[sommertyme]

@52outbound I have nothing but rave reviews for this airplane. It would take utter negligence and carelessness not to have a good experience flying this awesome little plane.

[GFLYYER]

@52outbound This plane is the best! give it one more chance!

[Xobeohs98]

@52outbound let me correct you, "DO get this plane. it DOESN'T break and it ROCKS"

[monsterjam42]

@Xobeohs98 i just got this plane and crashed it into bushes, concrete, trees and it only has one or 2 tiny scrapes of paint come off

[letam0ule]

@52outbound

You suck man!

[benadrylp]

@52outbound you must have no idea how to fly rc and didn't read the manual or you bought a knock off.

[SpartanDara117]

@52outbound lol ur not supposed to crash. I mean how hard can you slam this thing it to the ground? it literally floats

[52outbound]

dont get this plane it breaks extremely easy

[MrAirbuster57]

i just got this plane saturday, and i would like to learn how to fly it.

[djflying225]

I am amazed at the abilities of this rc plane, can't wait for it to arrive!

[57250tr]

I want this 9x more then I did before watching this

[airsoftkid65]

my parent are buying me this on blackfriday for the discounts but i cant wait ibought FS1 to practice and im doing great this seems like a great plane!

[santatigerclaus]

OUTDOORS?????

[toadpoker]

Needs a BNF.

[zyx514]

would u recommend this for a very good two channel flyer?

[BubbaThing]

whats better the slov or this

[gosuperman]

I thought this could not do acrobatics, but the video shows a basic one?!

[canamwing]

Instant Classic! This will bring the people in the hobby for sure. Great product all around!

[usermichael8077]

Is the transmitter that comes in the Box,,the same as a Dx5e.

will there be range issues with the stock transmitter.

Thank You

[legomastter13]

@usermichael8077 range is about 600ft

[PerPanBanan]

kupilem sobie takiego i jest idealny do nauki latania ;) polecam ~_~

[fishycomics]

Thank you for this Video, and link will keep in mind if I ever get one.

[Themostflippinawesom]

Fuck!!! Do bit fly  when there wind just lost mine

[attananightshadow]

[Themostflippinawesom]

Just tried mine for the first time all i can say its a beast its fun and champ is the champ! Plus my first flight i did a loop :p recommend to all beginners

[sovietluigi]

getin one thursday. one question, how long does a charge last?

[theprotolight]

@sovietluigi The charge lasts 6-9 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes to charge.

[jessedrouin5111]

i got one today after my dad got a really nice alpha trainer at a yard sale for $25 it was such a steal lol this plane is teaching him how to fly since hes not that great with a controller

[slantedpierce]

Got 1 a few weeks ago and love this little plane!

[DanBell47]

Nice & stable. I want one.

[1viva]

Wow! is this the real flying speed or has the video been slowed down?. Love the fact that it seems to be somewhat of a slowflyer!.

[Dovalencia7]

i just got that darn plane today and havent been able to fly it yet i dont know if there is something wrong with it

[theprotolight]

@Dovalencia7 Did you plug in the batteries for the controller and plane and are you sure they are all charged?

[natepayne2007]

just got mine today love it had a few light crashes but i was flying like a pro before the battery lost its first charge.

[productionvideos27]

is that hard to fly?

[wolfknifelasertorch]

i don't think this comes in bnf but it is the same price as a bnf j-3 micro cub from parkzone and it has a dsm2 rx so it could be bound to a spektrum tx. other than price it looks identical to the j-3 micro to me. minus the classic paint job and faux motor on the j-3 that is. Oh and Availability isn't until mid-may.

[1994Juggernaut]

@wolfknifelasertorch You're right it is similar to the UM J3 Cub from Parkzone but it is a little bit bigger and if I'm not mistaken I believe there is a real airplane called the Champ made by Aeronca. Also the HobbyZone Champ uses the UM 4-Site prop which is meant for slow flying so the Champ is probably a bit slower than the UM J-3, which would be good for beginner pilots.

[1viva]

@1994Juggernaut  Slowflyer did you say?!. GREAT, that's what I wanted to hear! ;-)

[etivac13]

what's the difference between this and the cub?

[ramis182]

cool plane, does it come in a BNF?
