One of the sleekest looking platforms out there that not only lives up to it's reputation, but just looks right all round.

I've been having a bit of a rough patch the last few days and for some reason your "some of the experts already here" made me laugh out loud. I really appreciate what you do. Don't ever stop making videos.

beautiful ..just beautiful for a gorpo and a sunset flying session

[kevalinopicks]

Another Volantex beauty! Guess we will be seeing this sloping soon! Think this will be on my Christmas list. Thanks for another great video, Andrew.

Looks like a joy to fly! I wish I had a floaty plane like this and a large enough space to fly it. I live in one of the most crowded cities in the world and I am stuck to smaller, more agile airplanes.

Great video Andrew! All of your efforts to enlighten us heathens is much appreciated! Amazing scenery! Merry Olde England on a sunny day, wow!

[DugWagner]

The plane was a delight, but the music you used made me grab my guitar, and play along! I enjoyed this more than most, which says a lot!

[Raketemensch]

Such a baller ending to pinpoint land with the flaps, then pick it up and address the tail cam. I've been researching what my ~2m "battery bus" is going to be, and I think this is the winner. Super efficient, while also capable of carrying massive battery weight, and also readily available with lots of 3d printable FC/inav mounts. I have a couple of bucket-list flights that I want to be able to complete (circumnavigating a few islands), and I think this is the wing that's going to get me there.

[thedoble]

Wow, you made that maiden hand launch look easy! Thanks for the video

[btbplanevids]

Looking good without the silly 'tundra tyre' undercarriage (that was never going to work, with the high thrustline). I'd ditch the tailwheel as well, which would clean it up even more and help with the CG too.

[DavieRooker]

You've done it again, another top model and top flight. A bit of a letdown that there was no catching involved....lol. If I was a betting man I would next? I've got 2 maidens to do and the weather here in Scotland is foul at the moment.

[didactylosdiddy]

That is impressive on the ground and simply majestic in the air. Yep much better without the wheels but nice to have the option for those with proper flying fields. I presume that you will be sloping it at some point in the near future.. love it

[WildCaptures]

Great maiden, you can see that plane a half a mile away! You need some wing bling LED lights for some night flying : )

[upperechelon]

Another great video Andrew. Hmmm. 5.5 amps at about half throttle cruising speed. Looks like this is a definite aerial mapping platform. I suspect you might get a little more practicality if you dumped the large wheels. Most are probably used to hand launches anyways. Like the way the big landing gear comes off with just two screws. Ironic isn’t it that it takes off as good, if not better, than with the large wheels on. I would go as far as to say that this is an ultimate, affordable mapping platform. Volantex hit another home run with this one.

Greetings from Florida USA.

[roncannoles]

Thank you for another great review! Although, l think a 1600 would suit my situation better, I really enjoy seeing these larger ones soar. Great time to be getting back into RC planes.

[Romychs]

Bought at spring Ranger-2000, after watching your videos. It flies great. But this one is a bit more interesting, if I bought it now, I would choose this one! Thanks for good review!

[julianhumphrey]

well i am finally getting a Ranger 2400, having given up all attempts at flying FPV, its just not for me i wanted a large los plane, this 2400 has become hard to get, but a chat with Arxangel has lead me to buying his near new one

[reefer]

Nice plane, all of the models, for relaxed cruising :-) surprising it took off better on one wheel? great vid thanks for sharing

[bravogolf]

Stoked to see this video, and posted the same day my V-R2.4k arrived in the post. No regrets and this one is going straight to the workbench for assembly. Looking forward to the now obligatory slope video. lol

[olliea]

Really good review, andrew! What a beast of a bird. I reckon it could thermal forever!
