    @f16xl if you’re still interested in RC planes, look at the ones TUPL sent, those are the ones I’m planning on getting

    1. No prob
    2. It should be included on the planes' Amazon pages but I'll try to get one sometime later
    3. No and no (it comes pre-assembled and I've never seen modifications on them, really the only things you have to put together are putting the propeller on the plane and optional landing gear, both of which simply snap on)

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover 1. Thanks
    2. May I have a photo of the remote
    3. Did you have to put it together (if not have you made or seen someone else make modifications to it)

    There's more which is listed below, just cut that one off to avoid crossing the world limit
    Supermarine Spitfire
    Bf-109
    Fw-190
    Another Spitfire
    That's all the 500mm (I think) single-engine RC Warbirds. There are more, but these are the ones I think you'll enjoy. I can give you advice in the future if you need any, but here's one big tip I can give you now: read the reviews. Volantex is reliable, but things don't always go perfect with RC planes, they can be a bit finicky.
    A few more post-purchase tips:
    -If you do get one, keep them close when in air, fly them nearby instead of far out. Of course, you don't want to hit anyone, including yourself, but you don't want to lose it either. Low flying is acceptable once skilled, but high flying is normally a no-no, try mid-level flying. Just whatever you do, always keep track and control of your plane.
    -The charger cord has a red light, if it's on, the battery is charging, if it's off, it's done. If the light is off, make sure it's unplugged, these batteries can be damaged and potentially dangerous if overcharged. Also keep them out of sunlight/heat, so don't say bring them in a car trunk while at the store or set them near a window.
    -The two-bladed prop will give you the most power and speed.
    -You shouldn't need the landing gear unless you have a planned landing area, I've personally never used them in flight.
    -Always make sure the switch on the remote is in beginner mode (if you're looking at the controls, the switch will be in it's closest-to-you position, if you get it you can show a picture of the remote and I can explain to you what I mean)

    @MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 In that case you're still in luck, high power referring to the motor.
    VolantexRC is exactly in your price range, take this P-51 for example.
    There are others like it, but Volantex is the brand you want. If this will work, I can give ya a list of the others.

    @HuskyDynamics01 yeah, but I want to check other options first, if I can't find anything better, then I'll get it

    Have you taken a look at Flite Test? I don't have any direct experience with them but they look cool and are pretty reasonably priced for being fully DIY.

    VolantexRC. They're great, but high-power so try not to fly out of range.
