With a 4.5 rating out of 5 on Amazon, whilst the Multiplex RTF Easy Star remote control plane is designed for first time pilots, user reviews suggest it takes a little more skill. Multiplex are argued to make some great products and this quite pricey RC airplane is argued to be one of them.
This toy comes as an RTF (Ready To Fly) not ARF (Almost Ready To Fly) remote control plane. This is important if you are purchasing a RC plane as an ARF will need considerable skill.Therefore this plane only takes some basic assembly and requires no skill.
Multiplex Easy Star RTF Features:
– Stable flight characteristics.
– Durability.
– Powered by a speed 400 motor mounted on the top so hard landings won’t break the propeller or damage the motor.
– It does as stated by user’s require a little skill to fly, but has the ability to recover in flight quite easily if a mistake is made. Made from Multiplex’s durable “Elapor” foam, if the Easy Star does break it can be easily repaired with CA (super) glue.
The Easy Star Electric RTF RC Airplane Includes:
– Installed Hitec HFS-04MG Receiver.
– Battery: 1200mAh 7.2V NiMH.
– Hitec Neon-SS FM 72MHz 3-Channel Transmitter.
– Servos: Two Installed Multiplex Tiny-S Servos.
– Installed Multiplex Multicont X-08 ESC.
– Hitec CG-207 2Amp DC Peak Charger.
Multiplex RC Airplane User Review Advantages:
– The radio system is argued to be excellent.
– This is a quality plane made with above the bar parts.
– The receiver is 4 channel and the servo’s are micro therefore the setup can be moved into another plane as your level of experience and tastes change.
– The wingspan is argued to be seriously impressive!
– Having a top-notch radio system will mean that switching it is as easy as reversing a plug in the transmitter and the back is screw-less so you don’t have to unscrew 8 screws like on other models.
– Very nice simulator software available for this model on Internet.
– It can be used as an FPV (first-person view) pilot who use a real-time video camera in the plane to fly it, while the pilot is on the ground.
– The plane is very fast because it’s so aerodynamic and many maneuvers like loop the loop or flying upside down will become second nature after a little practice.
– You can modify it to take longer wings from other planes.
– More powerful motors and lipo (lithium polymer) batteries have upped its performance greatly.
– To land on water if you can find some scrap foam, shape them into floats, you have a float plane!
Multiplex RC Airplane User Review Disadvantages and Advice:
– You should glue in the tail and rear wings instead of using their included double sided tape.
– Place a small piece of tape on the front and back of the canopy.
– Make sure you are 3 miles away from any airfields as it can be flown great distances and some users have stated that once the Easy Star Electric RTF remote control airplane is maybe half a mile away, the plane began to take instructions from someone else at the airfield.
– Put your telephone number and name on it so if it flies off into the woods someone will hopefully find it and return it.
WARNING: This thing is MASSIVE so keep kids at a safe distance.
