Key Features
- Fully Assembled Ready-to-Fly Design — This RC plane arrives completely assembled and ready to fly straight from the box, requiring only transmitter batteries to get airborne. This means you can enjoy your new aircraft immediately without spending hours on construction, making it perfect for those eager to begin flying without the technical barrier of assembly.
- Brushless Motor with Gear Box System — The upgraded 1806 brushless motor works in conjunction with an intelligent gear box system that boosts thrust and power whilst simultaneously saving battery life and increasing speed efficiency. This engineering approach delivers superior performance compared to standard brushed motors, ensuring more reliable operation and better value from your rechargeable battery.
- 6-Axis Gyro Stabilisation System — The integrated Xpilot 6-axis gyro provides three distinct flight modes with automatic levelling and stabilisation assistance, making this an ideal trainer aircraft for beginners. The gyro system dramatically simplifies aerobatic manoeuvres and helps prevent crashes by automatically correcting the aircraft's attitude when needed.
- Extended Flight Time Performance — With optimised power management from the brushless system and efficient energy delivery, you can expect approximately 20 minutes of continuous flight time on a single 7.4V 400mAh battery, and up to 30 minutes when flying with two batteries in sequence.
- Impressive Control Range and Signal Strength — The 2.4GHz radio system delivers a reliable control range of 656 feet with powerful anti-interference capabilities, ensuring your RC aircraft remains connected and responsive even in areas with multiple radio signals. This frequency is the modern standard for RC hobbyists across the UK and worldwide.
- Safety-Critical Alarm Systems — Built-in low battery and over-range alarms provide critical warnings that prevent loss of your aircraft, allowing you to react quickly if the aircraft flies out of range or the battery reaches critically low charge levels.
- Four-Channel Radio Control System — Full independent control of throttle, ailerons, elevator, and rudder gives you complete command authority over the aircraft in all three dimensions, essential for executing aerobatic manoeuvres and maintaining precise flight control.
- Durable EPP Foam Construction — The aircraft body is manufactured from expanded polypropylene foam, which is impact-resistant, lightweight, and forgiving during crashes, allowing new pilots to learn without expensive repair bills.
- High-Precision Digital Servos — Two ultra-lightweight 2g high-precision digital servos deliver responsive, accurate control inputs with minimal delay, ensuring smooth and predictable aircraft handling throughout the flight envelope.
- Portable Compact Design — At just 317mm in length with a 500mm wingspan, this RC aircraft is compact enough to transport easily whilst remaining large enough to be stable in flight and impressive to watch in the air.
Technical Performance
The TRAINSTAR STUNT 500MM delivers genuine performance that belies its beginner-friendly classification. At its core sits a purpose-designed 1806 brushless motor—a size specification that denotes the stator dimensions (18mm diameter, 06mm height)—which provides superior efficiency compared to brushed alternatives. This motor drives a smart integrated speed controller that combines electronic speed control with receiver functionality, eliminating extra components and reducing weight. The aircraft employs a 7.4V 400mAh 25C lithium polymer battery, a 2-cell (2S) LiPo configuration that delivers 25 times its capacity in maximum discharge current, ensuring ample power for sustained aerobatic flight and rapid acceleration. Build quality throughout reflects Volantex's commitment to reliable, user-friendly aircraft; the EPP foam fuselage resists damage from landing mishaps whilst remaining light enough for slow, stable flight characteristics. The four-channel 2.4GHz radio system operates on the globally recognised frequency that dominates modern RC aviation, immune to the interference issues that plagued older 27MHz and 35MHz systems. The 6-axis gyro processor continuously monitors and corrects aircraft orientation, providing automated level-flight recovery and reducing the control inputs required from the pilot—invaluable when learning aerobatic techniques. Overall, the engineering represents a mature, proven platform optimised for user satisfaction rather than competition performance, making it an exceptionally capable brushless RC aircraft for the price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the VOLANTEX TRAINSTAR STUNT suitable for complete beginners learning to fly RC aircraft? — Yes, this is an excellent choice for new RC pilots. The 6-axis gyro stabilisation system with three flight modes provides automatic assistance that helps prevent crashes and makes learning aerobatic manoeuvres significantly easier. The durable EPP foam construction is forgiving when you do have accidents, and the intuitive four-channel control layout is straightforward to master. Volantex specifically recommends this model for beginners through to experienced pilots, making it one of the most versatile trainer aircraft available from UK RC retailers.
- What battery does the TRAINSTAR STUNT 500MM require and how long does it take to charge? — The aircraft uses a 7.4V 400mAh 25C lithium polymer (LiPo) battery which is included in the box. This battery provides approximately 20 minutes of continuous flight time on a single charge. Charging time depends on your charger specification, but typically takes 30-60 minutes with standard USB chargers. The package includes a USB cable for convenient charging, and it's recommended to purchase a second battery to extend your flying sessions.
- How far can I fly this RC aircraft and will I lose signal in built-up areas? — The 2.4GHz radio system provides a reliable control range of 656 feet (approximately 200 metres), which is more than sufficient for recreational flying and small RC club gatherings. The 2.4GHz frequency is far superior to older RC systems and features powerful anti-interference technology, making it reliable even in areas with multiple other radio signals such as built-up urban environments. The integrated over-range alarm will warn you if the aircraft flies beyond safe control distance.
- Can the TRAINSTAR STUNT perform aerobatic manoeuvres and tricks? — Absolutely. This aircraft is specifically designed for stunt flying and aerobatics. The four-channel control system gives you independent authority over all flight axes, whilst the 6-axis gyro system provides automated assistance for complex manoeuvres. You can perform rolls, loops, inverted flight, and other aerobatic tricks, with the gyro providing stability assistance to help prevent crashes during learning phases.
- What makes the brushless motor better than a brushed alternative? — Brushless motors are significantly more efficient, delivering more thrust whilst consuming less battery power, which directly translates to longer flight times. They also produce less heat, require no maintenance of internal brushes, and deliver more consistent performance throughout the battery discharge cycle. The integrated gear box system further optimises the brushless motor's output, boosting thrust and speed whilst maximising battery efficiency.
- Is assembly required or does it come ready to fly immediately? — The aircraft arrives completely assembled and ready to fly straight from the box. No construction or assembly of airframe components is required. You simply need to charge the included LiPo battery, insert four AA batteries into the transmitter, and you're ready to fly.
- What is the difference between the V768-4G model and other TRAINSTAR variants? — The V768-4G specifically designates the 500mm brushless version with integrated gyro stabilisation and RTF (Ready-to-Fly) configuration. It includes all necessary components for flight operation including motor, speed controller, servos, battery, charger, transmitter, and receiver in one package, eliminating any compatibility uncertainties.
