The Volantex RC Plane P51D V2 RTF is a compact WWII-style warbird built to make learning to fly as relaxed as possible. With a 400 mm wingspan, EPP foam construction and the XPilot 6-axis stabilizer, this Volantex RC plane gives beginners a smooth first experience while still offering enough performance to keep experienced pilots entertained.
Why the Volantex RC Plane P51D V2 Is Easy to Fly
Inside the P51D V2 is the XPilot stabilization system, a 6-axis gyro that constantly works in the background to keep the model stable. It smooths out small stick inputs, helps the aircraft self-level after turns and makes windy conditions feel more manageable. For a first warbird, that extra layer of stability makes a big difference in how relaxed each flight feels.
VolantexRC Flight Modes for Every Skill Level
This VolantexRC model offers three flight modes that you can switch from the transmitter:
-
Beginner mode – Maximum gyro assist and limited bank angle to keep the P51D V2 level and predictable.
-
Intermediate mode – Reduced assistance so you can fly wider, smoother maneuvers while still having a safety net.
-
Expert mode – Minimal assist for pilots who want to fly the warbird more freely and enjoy faster passes.
As your skills grow, you simply move up through the modes. There is no need to buy another trainer; this single Volantex P51 can stay with you from your first takeoff to confident solo flying.
Volantex P51 Design Features and Durable EPP Airframe
The P51D V2 is molded from high-density EPP foam with carbon reinforcement in key areas. This material choice keeps the aircraft light and flexible enough to absorb everyday bumps, yet stiff enough to track cleanly through the air. Working ailerons, elevator and rudder give you full 4CH control, so the model feels like a real warbird rather than a simple toy.
What’s New in the Volantex P51 V2 Upgrade
Compared with earlier versions, the Volantex P51 V2 focuses on easier handling and longer service life. The XPilot gyro is tuned for calmer responses, the EPP structure is more robust around the nose and wing roots, and the power system is optimized for better thrust at typical cruising throttle. Together, these changes help new pilots enjoy more flights with fewer repairs.
Efficient Power System and Longer Flight Time
A high-efficiency gearbox driven by a 1020 coreless motor provides the P51D V2 with strong yet controllable thrust. Paired with the included 3.7 V 400 mAh LiPo, typical flights last around 12–15 minutes on mixed throttle. The dedicated USB charger is designed for single-cell packs and offers stable, balanced charging to help the battery last longer.
Propeller Saver and Beginner-Friendly Details
A propeller saver hub allows the prop to pop free in a nose-first landing, often preventing damage to both propeller and motor shaft. Combined with the flexible EPP nose section, this makes the Volantex RC plane P51D V2 far more forgiving for new pilots who are still perfecting their landing technique.
One-Key Aerobatic and One-Key Takeoff
Once you are comfortable with basic circuits, you can experiment with the one-key functions:
-
One-key takeoff – Activate the function, advance the throttle and gently toss the airplane. It will climb out and settle into a stable attitude by itself.
-
One-key aerobatic – At a safe height, press the aerobatic button and the aircraft performs a preset roll or loop, then returns to level flight.
-
One-key U-turn – After being configured according to the manual, this function can bring the airplane back toward you when you lose orientation.
RTF Package – Ready to Fly in Minutes
This is a true RTF (Ready-To-Fly) package. The Volantex P51D V2 comes factory assembled with the motor, servos, XPilot board and linkages installed. All you need to do is charge the battery, install the landing gear and add four AA batteries (not included) to the transmitter. For many pilots, it is one of the simplest ways to get a warbird into the air.

FAQ
Q: Is this Volantex RC plane suitable for someone who has never flown before?
A: Yes. The combination of XPilot 6-axis stabilization, three flight modes and one-key takeoff makes the P51D V2 very beginner-friendly. Start in Beginner mode, keep your first flights high and upwind, and follow the steps in the manual.
Q: How much space do I need to fly the P51D V2?
A: A medium-sized park, sports field or open grass area is ideal. Although the wingspan is only 400 mm, it is still a fast warbird, so having room to turn and climb comfortably will make your first flights easier.
Q: How long can one battery last in real use?
A: With mixed throttle and gentle flying, most pilots see around 12–15 minutes per charge. Flying at full throttle or doing constant aerobatics will shorten the flight time. Many owners choose to keep several 3.7 V 400 mAh packs on hand.
Q: Does the model support DSM or S-BUS protocols?
A: The built-in control board is equipped with DSM and S-BUS interfaces. Please refer to the English manual for wiring diagrams and compatibility notes if you plan to connect an external receiver.
Q: Are spare parts and accessories available?
A: Common items such as wings, props, landing gear and chargers are available as separate parts. For frequent flying, it is a good idea to have at least one spare propeller and an extra flight battery.
