You’re probably attracted to R/C flying for the chance to perform dramatic maneuvers with a realistic low-wing model. But first, you have to master the fundamentals — which is faster and MUCH easier with a high-wing basic trainer.
Will you need to buy two planes to reach your ultimate goal? Not if your first is the Flyzone Switch.
Start in the trainer configuration to learn essential skills. Then “switch” to the low-wing sport configuration for more adventurous flying. It’s quick, simple, and requires nothing more than what Flyzone already includes in the box.
The Switch offers the ideal combination of durability, agility and versatility. It will always be one of your favorite planes!

why does people want to start with trainers? id say its better to start with the wing design that youre going to fly in the end and dont waste time learning a plane youre not gonna use. i started with a PZ extra 300 and flew it easy peasy first time and then didnt have to buy another plane after 2-3 flights, or having a hybrid like this that isnt really great in either designs.
trim is where you adjust servos or anything else so your overall flight is better
Where can i buy one of these sets??
I really enjoy your reviews!
Bloody difficult to find the price….Goodbye
i love the RC
by Scott the RC man
thank you so much Eric, you are the inspiration that led me to start flying rc planes. please check out my channel soon and if you can please do a review of the e flite zero
Nice airplane
How much you paid for it?
Well, I’ve been out of R/C for about 30 years and a lot has changed. Seems that almost all planes are styrofoam now. Not much balsa used anymore? You made a comment that the 2.4 ghz radio won’t interfere with other planes on the field. Is that for all of the 2.4 radios? How is it that they won’t interfere? The old Futaba, Airtronics and Tower Hobbies radios all had frequency flags to be sure we wouldn’t interfere with other planes. That would be really cool not to have to worry about that. Our 13 year old daughter just bought her first plane – a Skynova which I like quite well. Didn’t see this one before she bought hers. Thanks!
How long does it fly on a single charge?
But your voice sounds like a turd
Does the radio that comes with this plane have a buddy cord jack port and have you tried to use a Spectrum radio alongside this?
love the video i am going to get started on my rc planes cause they are soooooooooo FUN!!
Thanks for watching and the comment. I appreciate it.
Eric, Did you have to add any weight to your Switch to achieve a Good CG??? We added 1/4 oz. to the Spinner, and 1/4 ounce of lead under cowl!! lol. Flies GREAT Now!! Even towed up a glider on flight 4! =)
This is exactly what I need. But it costs wayy to much! Can’t afford that.
Needs a price
i may well go with this, as i’m a newb who just joined a local club with all turf landing. maybe put some larger tires on it. it’s good that it’s landing gear is out in front of the airfoil’s leading edge, for the grass landings. i like that it’s switchable, since i’ve mastered much of the aerobatic maneuvers on the simulator…now on to the real thing, up we go…
what is the cost
Maybe a super cub or a micro would be best
ailerons are very hard to start on.
I have this plane. It’s pretty cool, but there are two problems with mine. First, the tail wheel is VERY flimsy and is a well known flaw in this design. It breaks repeatedly in normal use. Second, my battery charger does not work properly. It seems to charge the battery, but it gives an error code at the end instead of indicating a complete charge. I bought a new battery and had the same result.
good review but the charging system sucks i just got mine today. the charger is effed up and i cant plug the battery in the esc
WTF
awesome vid
Nice job Eric. Liked and subscribed.
Is this plane good for beginners? I want to start flying but don’t know what plane to get
nice plane
Gawd that thang is ugly!
hey eric another great video im brand new to flying have logged lots of hours on a simulater rf 6 . im pretty comfortable handling the planes on a sim i can hover do high alpha’s knife edges, but i want to start slow on the real planes as a sim i dont think will match the realism, do you think the switch would be a good starter plane. i like that it comes rtf with a controller and battery and everything else just wondering if you think it would be a good trainer in the trainer mode.
my very first 4ch plane and its still one of my favorite… in fact i bought a second one and use it for practicing new tricks and lots of in flight footage .. im actually debating putting floats on my first one 🙂 great review 🙂
Can you make a tutorial for putting floats on the switch? Thanks
Recently purchased this plane – 1st electric plane I’ve bought, been flying ‘gas’ rc for 30+ years. I flew this plane for the 1st time in the ‘trainer’ configuration today, and I must say I was delighted & impresed as well. Will try ‘sport’ config tomorrow. Thanks for vid – visuals are always helpful & informative, good review. I think I choose a great first electric park flyer :). Now i see there’s a bipe mod – I’m tempted!
maybe tell electric fliers they will want several battery packs so while they are flying another pack is charging…
I enjoyed the video. It has been about fifty years since I flew control line models. RC was just too expensive in those days! Seeing how easy it was to convert from high wing trainer to low wing sporter caught my interest. Thanks for a very informative video! One question, though, is the electric motor speed variable?
how much
fair at best, but electrics are too light and without proper wing loading they all float like leaves, shoot higher:)
@joehandsome99 How much could that air plane cost? with everything ready to fly, remote e.t.c
how do you do that rolls
I want to buy this Switch RC Plane, can you tell me the cost and process.
4:59 this what you came for
Or make it a biplane.
hey great video, now I want the plane, cool Just got my son a remote c airplane and we can’t wait to fly it.
were do you fly your planes looks like a street
wow……………..amazing
