In this video, I perform the maiden flight for a New Beginner RC Plane, the Arrows RC Pioneer 620mm RTF Trainer Plane. You will see me fly this powerful Beginner RC Airplane for the very first time and hear my thoughts on how it went.
Here are the Review Notes:
Pros:
- Ready To Fly (RTF) out of the box with everything you need.
- 2S Power on a compact trainer plane for more fun after you learn to fly.
- 4 channels to properly learn the fundamentals.
- Stability and dynamic flight modes
- The box can be used as a carry case for protection over time.
- Large and cool landing gear for a variety of terrain.
- So far, this appears to be on par with or better than the Hobbyzone Sport Cub S2 and is comparable quality to the excellent EDF Jet value, Arrows Viper 64mm EDF Jet.
Cons:
- The servos do not appear to be super smooth and precise, but they still look good for this application.
This is how Hobbyzone describes this new RC Trainer Plane:
"Modern beginner pilots are often faced with a daunting task: learning to fly in a limited space without an instructor. For those pilots, Arrows RC has the answer! Introducing the Arrows RC 620mm Pioneer- a micro bush-plane with BIG performance!
As a proper "all-rounder", the Pioneer has a classic high-winged tail-dragger design- allowing for predictable handling characteristics. The pre-installed ESC and flight control system eliminates the need for complicated wiring harnesses and setup.
Switch between stabilized and optimized gyro flight modes and the Pioneer will suit pilots of any skill level. Oversized wheels and robust EPP foam construction allow for rough-field operations- just plug in the battery, let the gyro calibrate and fly!
With all the exciting aircraft Arrows RC is releasing, there`s no better way to start than the Arrows RC 620mm Pioneer!

This model airplane is a trainer, an evolution of the project we made some time ago, the Joytrainer, that airplane was big and cool, it was based on the Simple Storch by Flitetest, some people...
Justin skimmed over a small but important step! The GoPro power cable needs to be soldered into the 5 volt power source going into the FPV video transmitter on the drone
