I want to order Volantex mini ranger (1380mm)
Is it advise able to order RC planes from Aliexpress?
This is the first time I am ordering from Aliexpress.
Also is it better To avoid free delivery ?
Kindly suggest.

I suppose it will be a large box but under $ 100 value.
Shouldn't be a problem (I have not ordered RC plane from China)
Why don't you look at fixed wing in Rcdhamaka & Rcbazar the first sells Multiplex brand RC planes get an easy star as it is your first. The second sells a wide range of planes. Visit both stores will take you at least 2 days!
Contact Karthik or Sanjeev at RCdhamaka they will help you if not busy.
On the flip side if you still want to order from Aliexpress be ready to wait for 30-45 days (60days sometimes) as it is likely to get checked by customs at GPO.
If ordering from Aliexpress choose the free shipping its free safe but takes long.
BTW aliex does have buyer protection so if your parcel never arrives you can raise a ticket with seller and most likely get a full refund if it does not reach you in the time specified by the seller.

Volantex mini ranger is a crappy aeroplane, flexes like crazy, extremely poor performance
