Here at Torqued Magazine we love Remote Control vehicles. And we love vehicles that can be used by beginners, intermediate, and pros. Which is every thing that the Horizon Hobby Champ S+ is. This R/C plane comes with a remote control with 3 settings that gives you the options to put the aircraft into various flight modes for various levels of expertise. We found this super helpful as we tested it with various pilots and each one had great results flying it within their skill level. Another huge and I mean huge plus for this aircraft is the safe technology.
This little guy has GPS inside. This means that it can sense its orientation in the air and if you’re ever in trouble and headed straight to the ground. You can simply press the red button on your remote and the aircraft will right itself and fly in a circular formation until you’re ready to take control again. That is simply amazing to us. Gone are the days of buddy boxes and crashes due to inexperience. We have this technology to help beginners and experts. Did we mention it also has the technology to land itself? Yes you heard that right it can land itself.
We really enjoyed this plane, it did everything we asked of it and more. We had multiple people test their skills with this plane and everyone of them loved it. It really is a great value for what you receive. It is a smaller plane with a wingspan of 27.3″ but it is pretty mighty for its size. It’s 280 mAh battery can give you flight times of up to 12 minutes. Below are the key features from Horizon Hobby for this product.
