This plane could be the best, but it depend on what you are looking for. If you are wondering how to get into flying rc planes, this RTF (ready to fly) is a great way to start. The kit includes everything required. Plane, Transmitter, Receiver, 1300mah 3s Battery for plane and even a charger. In this video I review my entire experience with the unboxing, assembly, flight and some tips to enable the new pilot some success.

Thanks for being a great mentor! Bought one 3 weeks ago and mainly watched your 1 - 5. And a couple others. Used your setting. Had my 9th flight and nailed my first landing . It was hard but the front wheel didn’t cave in and flip because I reinforced it yesterday after watching your video! That’s again and warm wishes.

Great video! I used to enjoy trying to fly my Ranger. Damaged, stowed and forgotten. I dusted it off and put it back together today. Your video helped me to effectively complete the rebuild.

Great thorough video, thanks. One thing to add: BPhillips says to check alignment of the vector, should be straight on, sometimes they glue with off kilter a bit.

This was a great video! This is one of my favorite planes. Floats and wheels. My favorite is the front landing gear its awesome on hard landings!

Really nice 'how to' video. There is a LOT to cover - and not slip up about something. Like on the wing spar deal - very good that you edited to show that the missing wing spar was the issue. Excellent review !

Great guide, assembled one on the weekend, fms manual leaves a lot to be desired, your guide was invaluable to me

Your videos are great man!! I just ordered the ranger! I’ve been in the fence for the last year about making the jump to planes but with your videos it’s definitely gave me that bit of confidence to pull the trigger on it! Thanks again man i definitely look forward to learning all I can and keep the great content coming!!

perfect video, answered all my questions... I was having troubles with the elevator being straight and screwing that clevis in works just how i needed thanks!

Super detailed Will. Excellent. Really glad you talked about the limitations on the RTF TX. Better transmitters have the ability to make planes fly better/different with simple programming. Very well done my friend!

I love this plane my friend and thanks for those parts you sent me. your a true friend and I appreciate that. Im going to get it back up soon. so easy to fly no worries just fly but dont do what I did and get to nuts and nose dive by no paying attention to what your doing. Thanks again and I appreciate it. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great little through and through video step-by-step from start to finish I thoroughly enjoyed that everything you possibly needed to know to get it up and running and a few very great tips on the surfaces and transmitter.
