What to do with donated plane.

[islandlife]

A friend of mine gave my kids a rc plane on the weekend, however he could not find the transmitter for it.
I'm wondering what the best course of action is if we want to fly this thing. The only other air tx i own is the rtr one that comes with a sport cub s2.
The plane is a wltoys xk a300

Any advice is appreciated.

Keep in mind most WL Toys are starter RCs and it may not be worth your time and money. But if you want to fly it, I think your only choice is to replace the radio.

First I would make sure the battery is good. It looks like it's USB rechargeable and those batteries are not very robust.

If you can find the same radio from WL Toys you will need to bind the receiver to the radio and it "should" work. Or you could just buy and inexpensive radio & receiver and toss it in there, which is probably easier.

All depends on how much you want to make it fly.

I guess the question really is, is there a relatively cheap radio/receiver that would be worth using with this thing. Or just not worth the time and money?
Ill give it a good look over this evening, it does have a 2s battery in it, no idea what the connector is, or if the battery is usable. The plane overall looks like it has barely been used.

You could always run with it in hand making vroom vroom noises.

Yes, the children already have that method figured out!

@GBLynden might be able to suggest something.

Here are the guts.
Not sure how a guy would bind a replacement tx if one was able to be sourced.
And to run a different receiver i suppose the elevator and rudder servos would likely have to be replaced as well, as they seem integrated.

Not all radios bind to all receivers, they have to be the same technology.

If you replace the radio with the same factory one, you can (in theory) bind it to the existing receiver. I say in theory because I'm not familiar with WL Toys radios at all. Check the docs if you can find them online. If you buy a new radio I would get the TX and RX with it.

Most servos have 3 wires, not sure what's happening there? They look like stamped steel too?

Is there a receiver in there?

The more I look at this, @Chubaka might have a good idea.
