A Legendary Bomber in Your Hand
The North American B-25 Mitchell holds a special place—the rugged twin-engine medium bomber that made its mark across the Pacific and European theaters, most famously in the Doolittle Raid. VolantexRC has faithfully recreated this warbird in a compact, 400mm wingspan format, stripping away the complexity and replacing it with the modern XPILOT stabilization system. It’s a slice of history that actually flies well.
Twin Power, Zero Frustration
This high quality 400mm wingspan micro RC plane is built from durable FLEEX EPP foam. It is designed to take the hits that come with learning to fly. It features twin 3CH control, paired with a new-generation VolantexRC transmitter featuring a dedicated "One-Key Aerobatic" button for effortless flips. The dual motor setup features counter-rotating props, ensuring a straight tracking line on pavement or during a hand launch. It’s the ideal purchase for the absolute beginner looking for something cooler than a trainer, or the seasoned park-flyer wanting a pocket-sized, micro-warbird for the backyard.
Note: The VolantexRC B-25 is a 3-channel RC airplane. The three channels control throttle, elevator (pitch), and steering (yaw). Rather than using a traditional rudder, the model turns by varying the differential thrust between its twin motors.
Since the plane lacks ailerons, it cannot perform axial rolls or fly inverted. However, after real-world testing, we found it to be highly responsive and beginner-friendly. If you're looking for complete control authority, we recommend a 4-channel model with full moving control surfaces.
6 Key Features
1. XPILOT Stabilization System: Built-in 6-axis gyro provides a rock-steady flight experience. It automatically corrects for wind gusts, making it exceptionally forgiving for first-time pilots.
2. 2.4GHz Radio System: Comes with a dedicated, ergonomic 3-channel remote. Features a built-in "One-Key Flips" function, allowing novice pilots to perform instant aerobatic maneuvers at the push of a button.
3. Dual Counter-Rotating Motors: The twin 120-size brushed motors are paired with counter-rotating propellers. This eliminates the torque pull to the left, ensuring the plane takes off and flies straight, whether you are using the landing gear or hand-launching.
4. Durable FLEEX EPP Material: The airframe is molded from superior, expanded polypropylene foam. This material is far more resilient than standard foam, meaning you can bounce it off the grass (or the occasional wall) and keep flying.
5. Ready-to-Fly (RTF) Packaged Right: Open the gorgeous, collector-grade box and you’re almost ready to go. It comes with the plane, installed electronics, radio, LiPo battery, and a USB charger—just add your own 4x AA batteries for the transmitter.
6. Quick-Release Propeller System: Spare props are included, and swapping them out is a breeze thanks to the included quick-release puller.

Required to Run:
-
4x AA batteries (for the transmitter). These are NOT included.
Important Operating Notes:
-
Trim Before Flight: While the gyro is incredibly helpful, make sure to trim your elevator on the remote before your first launch.
-
Wind Caution: While this micro plane can "handle a little bit of wind," do not attempt to fly in winds exceeding 10 mph (16 km/h). Under 3mph is the best. At this tiny scale, it acts more like a kite than a bomber in 10 mph wind.
-
Takeoff Preference: You absolutely can take off from a paved road using the included landing gear. However, for beginners, an "air toss" (launching it from your hand) at full throttle is far easier and reduces the risk of scraping the nose on rough asphalt.
