VOLANTEX P40 WARHAWK 4CH 400MM BRUSHED w/GYRO EPP RTF
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter of World War II, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s main production facilities in Buffalo, New York.
P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps gave the plane, and after June 1941, the USAAF adopted the name for all models, making it the official name in the U.S. for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the original P-40, P-40B, and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.
A hero of the pacific theatre on WWII, with its legendary shark mouth cowl finishing is instantly recognisable and a must have inclusion in Volantex’s Mini Warbird range, ready for park flyers of all abilities to enjoy thanks to the integrated Xpilot gyro stabilizer system.
With a powerful gearbox and coreless motor, the plane is stable, agile and can even perform acrobatics via a single button acrobatics feature. Simply press one button and pull the stick to easily control the Spitfire and perform acrobatics.

Safe flying is YOUR responsibility.
Update 01/01/26: The laws have changed regarding operating drones and model aircraft in the UK.
What you need to do:
You must take a theory test and register with the CAA before flying most drones or model aircraft outdoors in the UK.
There are two requirements and you may need to meet both:
- Pass a theory test to get a Flyer ID.
This makes sure you know how to fly safely and legally.
- Register with the CAA for an Operator ID.
This registers you as someone who is responsible for a drone or model aircraft.
Most people get their Flyer ID and Operator ID at the same time.
It is against the law to fly a drone or model aircraft without having the required IDs.
You can also be fined for breaking the law when flying. In the most serious cases, you could be sent to prison.
The requirements are based on the weight or class of your drone or model aircraft.
Registration requirements for drones and model aircraft:
| Weight of drone or model aircraft | Class | Flyer ID | Operator ID |
| 250g to less than 25kg | UK1, UK2, UK3, UK4 | Required | Required |
| 100g to less than 250g; with a camera | UK0 with a camera | Required | Required |
| 100g to less than 250g; without a camera | UK0 without a camera | Required | Optional |
| Less than 100g | Not applicable | Recommended | Optional |
