It actually comes with a 1S 500mah LIPO not a 1S 400mah LIPO.

@JN24185 6 месяцев назад

FYI, it does the throttle elevator mix in both 3D and 6D.

@GroundControlRC 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, I gave a pass on this one so hopefully those that watch this video won't end up buying one.

Another nice small fun plane. I'll add this to my want list :)

Very nice mini P40 👍👍👍

Thank you Martin! It sure is a tiny one ;-) See you in the Air!

@longjammeriii3323 2 года назад

Hi GC rc it's a nice looking warbird but I think I'll stick to,my Eachine micro planes as they are so reliable especially on my Tx16s, thanks for sharing with my best wishes from Alan in the UK 👍👍🤗🤗.

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Hi Alan and thank you! Yes, the Eachine Micros are better and Fully Configurable with the TX16S. Wise choice ;-) See you in the Air!

@kelvinbloomfield1375 2 года назад

hi ground control. nice looking plane . was a bit concerned on your first flight the prop brock off? is it a pusher prop plane? as cant see the full spec on it yet .in your opinion, how does it compare to the p51 and the fu corsair mate?

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Hey Kelvin! It's a tractor motor and prop. It did a bit of a tip stall there didn't it ;-) Yep, when it hit the ground it snapped the prop in half. Definitely not as good as the Eachine Mini Warbirds. This one has a smaller wingspan as well at 384mm instead of the 400mm the Eachine Mini Warbirds have. So it also has higher wing loading as not as good slow flight capability. The biggest problem with this one is XK chose to do Elevator Mixing with the Throttle ;-) I've never seen that before and it's not good. See you in the Air!

@SteveGergetz 11 месяцев назад

Hi! Did you ever find a protocol on the modern multi-protocol OpenTX/EdgeTX radios that will bind with the stock flight controller/receiver in the XK mini warbirds?

@GroundControlRC 11 месяцев назад

Hi Steve! XK uses many protocols just like all these other branded micro planes. I think they just use whatever they have or can acquire. Sometimes the protocol is supported in OpenTX / Multi-Module and sometimes not. I have since retired the XK A220 P40 but I was using Protocol V911S / Sub-Protocol E119 for that plane. I believe that's the same protocol I'm using for the XK A280 P51D. The XK J3 Cub used MT99XX / A180. You just never know. Some of these boards will actually use an external satellite receiver though so that may be an option. It would be nice if that was always an option ;-) See you in the Air!

@SteveGergetz 11 месяцев назад

@@GroundControlRC I had been using the FlySky FS-A8S RX to bind to my XK T28 and XK Spitfire for the past 1 year and that was working fine, and since I just recently bought a new Radiomaster TX running EdgeTX and containing the latest multi-protocol RF module, I can now ditch the RX and bind directly to the stock AIO FC board. Thanks for your help!!

@rodgerhunter1591 6 месяцев назад

Hi enjoy your videos how do I set up the gyro switch on a tx16s edge TX got it bound but can't turn gyro off and I did notice the elevator mix with the throttle and I haven't even flown it yet Thanks again your work has really helped me in my return to the hobby

@rodinvillarosa2924 2 года назад

Looks like XKs got another J3 Cub Tailspin Club member.

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Hey Rodin! So you remember that J3 Cub ;-) The XK Labs are doing some fine work aren't they ;-)

@theKeppis 2 года назад

These planes seem to be pretty solid, had to pic up the P-51 at my hangar too ;) But at 7:53 it might have G-stalled though on its wing in a slight tailwind, or something, I don't knoe. Small size and scale do not usually match when it comes to great characteristics 😅 also the ailerons being at the side, not at the tips on the wings can affect to some point.Or maybe there were some thermals affecting the plane. I found the gyro modes unusable, well, atleast in indoors 😂 Gyro affects the flying too much perhaps. But it's fun to watch these reviews those have some real thought out in them :)

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Thank you much Keppis! Yes, these inboard ailerons are sometimes problematic. I guess they put them so far inboard so they can use a singe servo without the need for rigging. I've also found that they frequently dial in too much rudder which can stall it in a turn since these lightweight planes have very little momentum to maintain their speed. They're fun to try an keep in the air especially in manual mode ;-) See you in the Air!

@Vindolin 2 года назад

It's interesting that you say that yours was the quietest mini gearbox plane you've flown because the one I got today rattles like mad as if there are some teeth missing. I took the motor apart but couldn't see anything :(

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Hi Thomas! Yeah, there are definitely some differences in these planes and they way they are assembled. Apparently, the person that assembled mine got the motor and gearbox aligned very well ;-) The Mini Cessna and Mini P47 I have are the same way, very noisy. I use dry lubricant on those gears and it does help.

@skully366 Год назад

How does this compare to the eachine ones? Better aerobatic ability, im assuming?

@GroundControlRC Год назад

Good Question. I actually gave a pass on this one. I think the Eachine Mini Warbirds are much better. I also think the Eachine Mini P51D is the pick of the litter. Very stable and it has the best thrust to weight ratio of any brushed motor plane I've flown to date. The Eachine Mini Warbirds will also bind to a Multi-Protocol TX. Flying them with a Hobby-Grade TX makes them so much easier to fly. I've been eyeing the TopRC Hobby 450mm Wingspan Warbirds. I think that extra 50mm on the Wingspan may make those even more stable. I hope that helps and I'll see you in the Air!

@baldeagle1337 2 года назад

I have this XK P40... A bit hard to turn it, when i try to turn with ailerons.. Then it does not turn sharp like the Eachines, so i need to use the rudder for sharper turning.. So this p40 definitely need the rudder.... Also this one's prop just easily pop off...

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Yes, I found that you can't really fly this one bank-n-yank as it really needs some rudder to turn well. The prop does come off fairly easy on impact but I would rather that happen than damage the gearbox. I couldn't believe how quiet and smooth the gearbox is compared to other Micro Planes with a motor and gearbox ;-) See you in the Air!

@baldeagle1337 2 года назад

@@GroundControlRC Yep! Damaging the gearbox is worse than popping off the propeller... I just want to tell you that someone glued the propeller on the connector then fly the p40 on full throttle and then rush a wall... And i see the gear has been shredded

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

@@baldeagle1337 Hehehe....I guess that's one way to keep the prop from coming off ;-)

@jaimemacias826 Год назад

Hello i had a A-800 and when the plane was fling well if not wind, the plane does all aileron input and was in spiall down, and crashed.The motor broked, and the wing too,I repaired it and in other fly it does the same action itself I think that is a issue gyro of these planes. It is my particular opinion. this was my experience with hk planes..

@GroundControlRC Год назад

Hi Jaime! I've never been a fan of the XK Gyros Systems. They always seem to do something that makes things worse ;-) See you in the Air!

ok, i used a nine eagles brink in this plane, and with this MANUAL brink it flies very well.i like nine eagles tecnology rc.@@GroundControlRC

@allencrafts-cardboarddiy2469 Год назад

hello, I have a question,how fast it can go🤔

@GroundControlRC Год назад

These Micro Planes seem to fly fast because they're so small but I'd guess 25mph-30mph.

@ccf3726 2 года назад

just change to a eachine or volantex 400mm mini warbird receiver board and everything solved . i got mine changed to volantex main board and fly perfectly fine.

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Hehehe...I wish they would have used one of those boards from the beginning ;-) I think doing what you did is going to be the only way to have this one flying extremely well. Those Volantex/Eachine Mini 400 boards are fantastic ;-) See you in the Air!

@MONTY-YTNOM 2 года назад

@@GroundControlRC can you buy those boards then ?

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

@@MONTY-YTNOM Yes, you sure can and they are well supported on the Multi-Protocol Transmitters with all Gyro Modes working. Here is a link to the Board from the Volantex Sport Cub 500 www.banggood.com/EAR411-4CH-Receiver-With-Gyro2pcs-2g-Servo-for-Volantex-761-1-761-3-761-4-Sport-Cub-500-RC-Airplane-p-1662300.html?p=WE081047791920140372 You might have to make some modification though as the size may be a bit different than the stock board and you never know if they used the same socket for the Aileron Servo.

So the XK A160 J3 Cub, is a fantastic plane. This one, not so much.

@GroundControlRC 6 месяцев назад

I didn't have any luck with the J3 Cub either and didn't recommend it. I'm glad the J3 Cub worked out for you.

@acche-rc 2 года назад

Is this better,worse or the same as the eachine p51?

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Good Question ;-) This is not nearly as good as the Eachine Mini P51D. The Eachine Mini P51D is my 2nd favorite Beginner Plane of all time and the Volantex Sport Cub 500 is my all time favorite Beginner Plane. This one is pretty far down that list. I hope that helps and I'll see you in the Air!

@alexM1a 2 года назад

Does it fly good with the original controler?

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

It does with some practice. It's pretty twitchy going from a Hobby-Grade TX to a Toy-Grade TX so I have to learn all over again to be gentle on the controls. I can fly it pretty well in beginner mode with the Stock TX but Manual Mode is a bit of a hand full ;-) See you in the Air!

Fix all the problems with a brushless motor and a new receiver. Do these people who design these things ever actually fly them? When is your assistant going to fly on cam? ✈

@GroundControlRC 2 года назад

Hi Jack! Yes, I think at the very least the Receiver/Gyro Brick needs to be replaced. One of my assistants has already flown on camera when she was 4. She flew the FlyBear Red Baron Biplane and did a fantastic job of Piloting ;-) They do a much better job of landing than I do so now it's just off camera for them ;-) See you in the Air!
