The VOLANTEX BF109 4-Channel RC Plane RTF brings one of the most iconic WWII fighters into a compact, beginner-friendly package. With a 400 mm wingspan, a light EPP foam airframe and the XPilot gyro system, this warbird lets new pilots experience smooth flights and easy aerobatics without giving up the realistic look that aviation fans love. Designed by VOLANTEX and factory-assembled as an RTF set, it is ready to fly shortly after opening the box.
Easy to Fly for Different Skill Levels
At the heart of the BF109 is the XPilot 6-axis gyro stabilizer. It continuously smooths out your inputs and helps the airplane stay level in light wind, so first-time pilots can relax and focus on learning basic stick movements. The system offers three flight modes:
-
Beginner mode – Full assist and limited bank angle to keep turns gentle and predictable.
-
Intermediate mode – Reduced assistance that gives you more freedom for wider turns and gentle climbs.
-
Expert mode – Minimal assist so experienced pilots can enjoy more dynamic warbird-style flying.
A simple switch on the transmitter lets you move between modes as your confidence grows. You do not need a second trainer — the same VOLANTEX BF109 can stay with you from your very first flight to more advanced patterns.
Realistic 4-Channel BF109 Warbird
Unlike basic toy aircraft, this model is a 4-channel RC plane with working ailerons, elevator, rudder and throttle. That means you can bank and turn like a real fighter, line up low passes and practice coordinated turns as your skills improve. The molded panel lines, scale markings and transparent cockpit make the BF109 feel more like a miniature warbird than a simple trainer.
One-Key Aerobatics and Assisted Takeoff
When you are ready to try something more exciting, the BF109 has built-in assistance for common maneuvers:
-
One-key aerobatic – At a safe height, press the stunt button and the airplane performs a preset roll or loop, then returns to level flight.
-
One-key takeoff – Follow the steps in the manual, advance the throttle and gently throw the airplane. The XPilot system will climb out and stabilize the model for you.
-
One-key return – After configuration, this function can help bring the aircraft back towards you when you lose orientation.
These features give new pilots a way to enjoy aerobatics without having to master every stick movement on day one.
Outdoor Range and 2.4GHz Remote Control
The included 2.4 GHz radio system offers a control range of up to about 656 ft (200 m) in open areas. Multiple pilots can fly together without interference, making this BF109 a great choice for weekend park sessions or small flying meetups. The transmitter layout is simple and clearly labeled, so even first-time users can quickly understand the basic controls.
Efficient Gearbox Power System and Battery
A high-efficiency gearbox driven by a coreless motor provides smooth, controllable power for both training circuits and faster passes. Paired with the supplied 3.7 V LiPo battery, you can expect around 20–40 minutes of total flying time when using two packs and flying on mixed throttle. The USB charger included in the set is designed for this battery type and makes charging straightforward at home or at the field.
Durable EPP Foam and Practical Details
The BF109 airframe is molded from EPP foam, a material known for its flexibility and impact resistance. Small mistakes on landing are much less likely to result in major damage. The model also includes dual propeller options so you can choose between a 3-blade prop for scale looks or a 2-blade prop for efficient everyday flying. A simple landing gear set allows for both hand launches and rolling takeoffs from short grass or smooth surfaces.
