This one looks nice. If it stays at the $69.99 price point, I think Rage will have a winner. They should do some different colors, make it better for people to fly them at the same time.

Looks like just what i was looking for, for my daughter!

Is this a Mode 2 Tx configuration?

What protocol does Rage use on their Transmitters/receivers?

Their own

Mode 2 it is. Notice how the left stick is sprung closed. Non-Proportional Throttle.

It is proportional throttle control.

I love micro stick planes like this!

[QUOTE=Jason Cole;40597843]It is proportional throttle control.[/QUOTE I I stand corrected, Jason. Now, I want one, too.

I just pulled the trigger on this. I will swap the brick to a Spektrum from the Vapor HP that I got on black Friday sale. The Vapor HP has not impressed me at all, and at the price I paid, it was totally worth it just to get the brick receiver. I did the DSM receiver and 2S 180BL swap on the Rage Staggerwing, and that plane is great.

I'd be on this like white on rice if they had a Frsky ACCST protocol version. I'd probably still get it if they had a DSMX version. I don't like having a unique transmitter for each toy I own. Very comfortable with my every day Tx - and I even have DSMX module for when necessary.

Its not difficult to remove the stock receiver and install a UMX DSM receiver. When the RTF is price is so low, its worth the swap, IMO. Or in the case of the Rage Staggerwing, the PnP airframe with servos and motor is something like $75. Add your own DSM brick and you are up to the same price as a Horizon UMX.

You could always recover some of the cost of the conversion by selling the stock Tx and Rx. There are others like myself who are always looking for cheap R/C gear for scratchbuilds.

First, this little plane is just terrific. One does have to actually fly it and it is fun. here's 2 tips if you buy one:

• Cover the bottom of the wheel openings in the foam carrying case. so that the somewhat delicate foam wheels don't protrude below the bottom and get damaged when you slide the foam case into or out of the box.
• Beef up each wheel by gluing thin card stck on at least one side the wheels or even a bit of Scotch tape will help.

This plane wiil ROG from the box it came in and can climb vertically. It is a heap of fun. I'd like to try it outside but I wonder about the range of the transmitter.

I got a replacement motor but I can't get the old motor out of the holder!!
I even tried heating it, stuck solid!

What now???

I just got one for an old friend to fly. This thing is way overpowered. Any ides how to slow It down for my old flying buddy. I was on the lowest throttle setting and it flew nice. One click down and it would shut off. On click higher and it was like a rocket. Very narrow "slow cruising" throttle range. HELP
