🚀 Master Your First Flight with the Ultimate 4-Channel Trainer
Master the skies with the VOLANTEXRC Sport Cub 500, the aircraft that turns absolute beginners into confident pilots. Engineered with a realistic 500mm wingspan and the legendary XPilot Stabilization System, this park flyer offers the perfect blend of hobby-grade control and highly crash-resistant fun. While no RC plane is completely unbreakable, the Sport Cub 500 is specifically designed to be forgiving for learners, delivering a smooth, thrilling experience every time.
🎮 4-Channel Control: Real Pilot Experience
Unlike basic 2 or 3-channel toys, the Sport Cub 500 features full 4-channel control, including Ailerons for bank-and-yank turns and full aerobatic maneuverability.
- ✅ Full Maneuverability: Control Throttle, Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder just like a real scale aircraft.
- 🔄 One-Key Aerobatics: Perform professional-level loops and rolls with a single button press.
🛡️ XPilot Stabilization & One-Key U-Turn
The integrated 6-axis gyro stabilizer acts as your silent co-pilot, keeping the 52g plane ultra-stable in calm weather or light breezes (under 10mph).
- 🎓 3-Level Flight Assist: Switch between Beginner (Full Assist), Intermediate (Partial), and Expert (Manual) as you learn.
- ↩️ One-Key U-Turn: Never lose your plane again. Press a button, and it returns in the opposite direction of take-off.
💎 FLEEX FOAM (EPP): Built to Survive
Crafted from specialized FLEEX FOAM (Optimized EPP), this airframe is incredibly lightweight and highly crash-resistant. While not indestructible, it is specifically engineered to survive the everyday bumps and bruises of learning to fly.
- 🛠️ Propeller Saver: The propeller snaps off safely upon impact to protect the motor and shaft—simply snap it back on and fly!
- 🪶 Lightweight Agility: Only 52g flying weight, making it safe for park flying and easy to carry anywhere.
⚡ High-Efficiency Gear Box Power System
The 10mm Coreless Motor paired with a precision gearbox provides massive thrust while saving battery power.
- 🔋 Up to 15-20 Min Flights: Fly longer and master your skills faster on a single charge (depending on throttle usage).
- 🚀 Versatile Launch: Take off from smooth surfaces with the gear, or effortlessly hand-launch over grass for softer landings.

Reviews
Super Easy to Fly
"And a lot of fun. If you're on the fence, just buy it already. The foam is surprisingly durable, but get extra propellers and landing gears. Try to make sure the throttle is off if you're about to crash and it will probably be fine. It comes with two batteries, they last about 10 minutes each flying, which seems like a long time when flying. Excellent value for the money. I'll probably buy a more advanced model later!"

Fun easy flying plane.
"This is a great flying plane straight out the box. The 6 Axis Gyro makes the plane very stable in fact I rarely take it out of full gryo mode. It will fly slow if that's what you like and quite fast as well. I'm more of a cruise around flyer and get a solid 15 minutes per battery. "See photos" I added the black water based craft paint on the underside just rough the surface with a light sand paper it helps for plane orientation when your flying high. Added popsicle sticks to the landing gear, and yellow to the prop. I mostly hand launch the plane but it will take off on a relatively smooth surface. It's best to fly in little to no wind as in 5 mph or less. I would purchase this plane again it's great fun at a reasonable price."
Easy to fly
"Great plane, fun to fly! My son really liked the one touch stunts 😎👍🏼"
I was wrong it survived several crashes and was lots of fun
"The foam has some holes in it at the joints. These are already the weaks point. I was not happy when I opened the box, and jumped on amazon and left a bad review. But after taking it to the park and giving it a chance I have to say. I was wrong about this little plane. It flies better than any other rc plane i Have ever seen. My wife never flew anything before and had it down in like a minute. the landing gear is useless don't bother. hand launch only. leave it at home for display you will never find the tail wheel. We suck at flying and crashed over and over with no damage! but those holes seem to be getting bigger I think I will use some tape when they come off."
Fun to fly, great for beginners!
" This is my first RC airplane and it is very easy to fly. This is a 4-channel airplane so it has all of the control surfaces of the larger, more expensive airplanes. The airplane is made of a tough and durable foam. I have crashed it many times and it has not taken any damage. The battery compartment is very small so you are limited to the 360 - 380 Mah batteries. This airplane does not come with a camera, but I stuck a cheap $14 camera and VTX on just for the fun of it. I attached a picture and an FPV video so people can see what it looks like from the air. The Volantek Sport Cub 500 flies well even with a slight breeze. It's motor is not very powerful, but it has enough power for loops in intermediate and advanced mode. If you are just starting out, this is a great RC airplane to get."

- Does the transmitter have a range warning signal?
- Hi Jeremy, This depends on the model of plane that you are holding as well. If the receiver doesn't have signal lost warning function, it's meaningless for the transmitter to have such function.

- can the transmitter be used with other models?
- Yes, you can use the transmitter in our 3CH and 4CH Mini planes series. But not for the 2CH planes.

- The RTF version included both battery and Charger, the PNP version does not include battery and charger and Radio.
