Absolute riot

Feb 24, 2024

Upgraded the ESC to 50A Aerostar before flying, as the stock ESC has a habit of exploding. The amount of power on 4S is bonkers and it flies very well. I use a 1800mah 4S battery and the CG is good.
, on a discount its a very good first 3D plane.

Very fast delivery. Model was packed safely. A shame that the elevator is not detachable.

Defective ESC

Dec 29, 2022

Nice plane. well constructed. My only complain was the malfunctioning ESC. After the second crash I figured out that the ESC would "brown out" after a few seconds at full power. I replaced it with a 60 amp ESC and it works fine.

Flys great!!

This is a mild flyer on 3 cells, but a entirely different beast on 4 cells! I was not really able to do the 3 D fly you see in the video until I went to 4 cells. If you you experience a motor vibration with the 4 cell just remove the spinner as it’s not really made for the increased RPMs. Other than that, it a beautiful plane, flys fantastic and at a price point you can’t beat!

Excellent plane after a little bit of tweaking

Nov 13, 2022

I had previously left an unfavorable review on this plane due to an incident I had with it last year. I spoke with HobbyKing customer support and they were amazing to deal with. This is an updated review based on a second Voltigeur that I ordered this year.
**Disclaimer** Do not try to run the stock motor and ESC on 4S. I've had 2 of these planes and both ESCs burned out QUICKLY on 4S. If you plan to use the stock equipment, stick to 3S - it will still do most of the 3D maneuvers.
I opted to put my own motor/ESC in this plane to ensure I could use 4S....holy cow, the extra power wakes this plane up tremendously. I highly recommend doing this if you want to get maximum performance.
When I first got this plane, I hated it. The flight characteristics did not meet my expectations. However, I quickly realized that it was me and not the plane. I was trying to fly this like a foamie and that is NOT the way to do it. Treat it like a balsa plane and it is AWESOME. If you slow it down, it is very stable and fun to cruise around. Hit the top end of the throttle and it will whip around like no plane I've ever flown. Another great thing, it can take a beating. I’ve crashed this several times and was shocked how little was broken. Just bring foam-tac with you and you’ll likely be able to do field repairs after most crashes. The main weakness is the carbon fiber landing gear. I broke mine on a landing that didn’t seem that rough, got a new one, and broke that one within a week. I opted to make my own aluminum landing gear and that has worked out great. If you're landing on grass, ditching the wheel pants is a must.
This airframe will do pretty much any 3D maneuver you throw at it and will also do some of the XA stuff. Just a quick list of moves I was able to master with this: harriers (inverted and rolling), hover/prop hang, knife edge (best knife edges I've done, it locks in like it's on rails), flat spins, elevators, waterfalls, rolling loops, knife edge flips, crankshafts, and suicides. The plane has excellent characteristics in high alpha maneuvers, just be sure to keep a sharp angle of attack or you'll get some nasty wing rock. One thing that amazes me is how hard you can flip this plane around and everything stays solid. I've come in at full speed, yanked it straight up, put full rudder in, immediately swapped to full down elevator, and blasted the throttle as it violently whips around in the sky. Most of my balsa planes would have snapped in a few pieces, this thing handles it with zero problems.
This plane does great in windy flying. I've taken it up in 15mph winds and it was a blast (very hard to land, but it was fun in the sky). You will get pushed around like any other lightweight plane would, but it can zip through the wind easily on 4S.
Overall, I went from hating this plane to it being one of my favorites. Every time I go to the RC airfield, this plane goes with me. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to practice 3D tricks before attempting them on a more expensive, fragile plane.
Just a few tips on what I had to do for dialing it in. This plane likes the CG just at the neutral point or a hair forward. The stock battery tray would not allow me to get enough weight to the rear for this. I ended up making my own tray by gluing a piece of 1-ply that runs from the battery tray to the wing spar (glued onto the wing spar). If you cut little notches at the wing bolts, you can still remove the wings for transport. With the rudder, it seems less throw can be better for certain maneuvers. I had it going the full deflection and it would do odd stuff for knife edge flips and flat spins (full deflection works great for knife edge flying though). I dialed it back to about 50% deflection and it did a lot better for those maneuvers. I found that the elevator needed more deflection, so I installed a longer servo arm. I would also recommend installing the horizontal stabilizer with a thin bead of thick foam-safe CA glue. I used foam-tac on my first voltigeur and a small crash ripped the stabilizer off (the glue held very tight). With the CA, it seems to just pop loose in a crash which is MUCH easier to fix.
