Product Information
Full details
The Top RC Focke-Wulf FW-190 RTF 400 RC Plane is designed for hobbyists looking for an easy-to-fly, pre-assembled model aircraft. Its key benefit is the switchable 6-axis gyro stabilization, making it accessible for beginners while offering aerobatic capabilities for experienced pilots. A potential caveat is that Mode 1 control is standard, which may require adaptation for some users.

FAQs
What does 'RTF' mean?
RTF stands for 'Ready To Fly'. It means the aircraft comes fully assembled and includes almost everything needed to fly, typically just requiring battery charging.
What is Mode 1 control?
Mode 1 is a common transmitter configuration where the throttle and rudder controls are on the right stick, and the elevator and ailerons are on the left stick. This differs from Mode 2, which is more common in some regions.
Can I switch the gyro modes during flight?
Yes, the 6-axis gyro stabilization is switchable, allowing you to transition between beginner-friendly modes and expert (gyro-off) mode during flight.
What is the purpose of the clip-on propeller?
The clip-on propeller is designed with a 'prop saver' mechanism. It detaches easily upon impact, preventing damage to the propeller itself and the motor shaft, which is common in crashes or hard landings.
Is this plane suitable for flying indoors?
Due to its 400mm wingspan and potential speed, it is best suited for outdoor flying in large, open spaces. Indoor flight may be possible in very large, unobstructed indoor arenas.
How do I perform aerobatics?
To perform aerobatics, ensure the 6-axis gyro stabilization is turned off. You will then have full control for maneuvers like loops and rolls.
What happens if the plane crashes?
The EPP airframe is impact-resistant and designed to withstand minor crashes. The clip-on propeller will likely detach, protecting the motor. Inspect for any damage and reassemble or repair as needed before flying again.
Troubleshooting
Aircraft does not respond to transmitter inputs
Ensure both the aircraft and transmitter are powered on. Check that the LiPo battery is adequately charged. Verify the transmitter is within range of the aircraft.
Gyro stabilization seems ineffective or erratic
Confirm the gyro is enabled (check manual for activation). Ensure the aircraft is correctly oriented and level when the gyro is active. Check for any damage to the aircraft's control surfaces.
Propeller detaches during flight
The prop saver is designed to release the propeller upon impact to prevent damage. Ensure the propeller is correctly seated on its mount for normal flight. If it detaches frequently during normal flight, check for damage to the propeller or motor mount.
Short flight duration
Ensure the LiPo battery is fully charged. Inspect the battery for any signs of damage or swelling. Avoid aggressive flying, which consumes power faster.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready-to-fly out of the box
- Beginner-friendly with gyro stabilization
- Durable EPP construction
- Good flight duration for its size
- Capable of aerobatics in gyro-off mode
Cons
- Mode 1 transmitter as standard
- Limited spare parts availability might be a concern for some
- Requires a clear, open space for safe operation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Charge the Battery: Connect the included 1S 400mAh LiPo battery to the USB charger. Allow it to charge fully before the first flight.
- Install Battery: Carefully insert the charged LiPo battery into the designated compartment within the aircraft.
- Pair Transmitter: Ensure the transmitter is switched on, then power on the aircraft. The transmitter is pre-bound to the aircraft.
- Undercarriage: Attach the fixed demountable undercarriage by clipping it into the designated slots on the underside of the fuselage if you intend to use it for ground takeoffs.
Compatibility:
- Transmitter: The included transmitter is a Mode 1, 4-channel, 2.4GHz system specifically paired with this model.
- Battery: The plane uses a 1S 400mAh LiPo battery. Always use compatible batteries to avoid damage or safety hazards.
Care:
- After Flight: Allow the LiPo battery to cool down before recharging. Store the battery in a LiPo-safe bag in a cool, dry place.
- Cleaning: Wipe the EPP airframe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Storage: Store the aircraft in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the propeller is undamaged and securely attached before each flight.
