XK A800 powered RC Glider (EASY TO FLY and CHEAP TO BUY) 

XK A800 AVAILABLE HERE: www.banggood.com/custlink/KGvyNtgEyr

I wholeheartedly believe motor gliders are the best birds to start with. You have all the power you need but can learn motorless flyinhg. Gliding teaches a pilot to respect and maneuver with the elements. A glider pilot can better control any airplane in strong gusty winds with nary a crash and smooth sailing. I taught myself using powered gliders so obviously my opinion is biased. But I can fly even little gliders like this in winds of up to 30mph without a crash or too much hassle without the need for massive updraft. My personal favorite is still a polyhedral foamie with a top mounted prop. Makes for near walkable slow flying speeds with long battery time or going straight to speck for a bit of thermalling for good bouts of time. I see them as a good all-around plane that you can enjoy in a multitude of environments. And gliders teach you to FEEL the wind as you pilot. Research famous pilots who safely landed planes with a dusted engine (i.e. Lake Huron). Prior glider pilots, many of them. It's due to their glider training that they knew how to respect and leverage the environment for a safe landing that other pilots could not muster. Yes pilots train for powerless flight but still remain dependent on engine thrust in all things. Prepare for the worst amd hope for the best!

Just flew mine today for the first time,this is my first plane as I usually fly drones,absolutely outstanding bit of kit,worth every penny for a learner plane,yet to try in 3d mode,lol.happy flying guy's 😃

XK is a good producer. Nice flight. A good plane 4 beginnerz 😁👍

Nice little glider. I wish it was larger though. I loved trying to thermal gliders like this. It’s so small I might lose it after 1000 feet. Beautiful flying airplane. I’m probably gonna get one!

Looks like a nice powered glider, although, maybe a bit underpowered. Perhaps a nice FPV Cruiser ;-) Thanks for the flight demo. See you in the Air!

Looks like a nice relaxing glider, capable of 3d like as well in 3d mode.I might get one, cheap enough as well.I am also considering the XK450 VTOL plane, something a bit more interesting to fly.

I have purchased one of those. Thanks for the review.

How many minutes is the flight time ?

Me too looking at this or the Sky King, I suppose I like gliders plus you cant beat the control authority of ailerons so I guess the A800 is the fave at the moment.If I can get it for around £40 I will be doing well (I think Aliexpress do it around this price.)

Thats cool.

Super video...❤❤❤. I ordered 1. For fun with my brothers son...

Unfortunately I know him well! I lost mine in a wheat field last Thursday! For the little that I managed to make it fly I had a lot of fun and I was on the first flight, I even came in for a maneuvering error without being damaged (neither I nor the model!) So easy to maneuver even for those who have no experience and totally harmless from a security standpoint. I hope to be able to recover it even if it is a desperate undertaking, I asked a friend to fly over the field with the drone but we didn't see anything, I lost eye contact for a ruined house and I couldn't see exactly where it fell: for his minimum weight I'm sure he didn't break completely, but finding him is another story!

Purchased this and it is great -or was sadly surfaces have stopped. But for the 4 flight I made it was good

Great little aeroplane, just wish I could source some spare batteries

Hi guys, looking at this model vs the sky king? Any thoughts? I'm just starting out with outdoor RC. Used to indoor heli. Just want something to train on then move on up when the skills increase. Any opinions are appreciated..

😊❤might buy this my friend, I have a question though: I know this is a speed 400 brushed motor, I usually aim to get brush less in most models😊Has yours proved reliable,?

On those reviews will be good you describe the weather conditions principally wind speed

Hello, i just bought an AK A800 and just flew it for the first time. However, on my third flight i panicked on a turn near a large tree and turned off the controller power, and then quickly turned it back on - why did i do that i hear you ask !?!?! The plane crash landed, but is Ok. However, now i cant stop the motor from running flat out when i connect the battery, even when the throttle is in the off position. Any auggestions on how i can prevent this problem? Thanks

In this case would you have longer flight time Mr Dom. Flying up and powering down?

Hi, first of all, great video, I just want to ask anyone to tell me where I can buy this rc glider because it was removed from bangood

Hello good video. I have a question I want to start in the hobby of planes but I want to know how to calculate the distance I have to fly it away for example in drones with GPS it tells you when you are flying far away and lose signal. In this airplanes how can you know the distance you can fly it

Queria saber pra que que serve os botões em cima do radio

Hello excellent video, i have a question i have only flown drones, but i want to start with hobby of planes too, the planes are more difficult to fly? As you have to keep moving the elevator so it wont be going down or climbing to high? And the rudder its to turn faster than the ailerons of the wings, because the ailerons of the wings are to turn too right? So it is difficult to fly a plane

Bonjour auriez-vous le mode d emploi de la télécommande,.? Pour le réglage du gyroscope. Les deux boutons au dessus de la télécommande ? Merci beaucoup

I wish this plane had a better motor (faster) ...most times I have to fly it at full throttle against light wind

Hey guys, I've heard or read, depending which advert you find that the Tx is mode 1 or mode 2. Is that true. Can you switch between the two. I am a mode 1 flyer.

I tried to fly mine today. Three or four attempts at takeoff by launching by hand. Exactly as you did in your video. With all three or four attempts, my model flew into the ground. (no damage, no broken propeller - yet). However, it did not fly straight out of my hands and hold a steady course of flight. Which brings me to my next question - is the plane supposed to fly out of your hands with a gentle throw and release action without any further control inputs from the transmitter? Or did you apply some up elevator to keep it on course initially. Not even the auto stabilization was enough to keep it from heading towards the ground. I've seen other vids on this, and now I've seen yours. What am I doing wrong. It should be so easy! If I release the model with a climbing angle, the stabilization takes over and applies down elevator. Should I release the model in a downwards direction so the stabilization applies up elevator? Bit lost at the moment.

What does it cost for that plane and what shop it’s called to buy the plane and one more thing what county did that plane come from

1. Can you shut off the motor with tx while it is in flight? 2. I know you are a very experienced rc pilot, but looking at the video, why is a glider fly so jerky and the terrible landing? is it due to the plane handling or maybe it is actually a super windy day?

I;ve been on the internet trying to buy obe of these in the UK but without success. Can you help please?

Do you think this plane will still fly if one would put a FPV system on it?

Is it mode 1 or 2

Alguém tem o estão do rádio em portugues

Bro, mine flew away on its maiden flight

I didn't know Rob Halford flew R/C.

Can this be flown on just rudder and elevator?

a dead cat on your mic would help with the wind noise

Je vous déconseille cet avion, les capacités de vol sont bonnes mais l'avion est totalement sous motorisé et la batterie de 300mah 20c n'offre que 2-3 minutes de pleine puissance. Cet avion lutte contre le vent il ne vol pas.

It appears to be nose heavy.

Discontinued!! :(

Warning because lipo discharger the plane lost singal

Doesn't glide for very long/far .....

Just bought this plane happy with a few others but this one stinks out of the box. Can't get the wings to snap together don't want to wreck it. No luck no luck. This plane sucks.
