Hi! If your using the recommended power setup with the Avion escs it's a good setup. I built mine when the great planes motors were still available but the motors your using should be the equivalent. My recommendation of the 22x10 prop by xoar is definitely one thing you will want. I used hitec servos and in the elevator I used a D951tw digital. As I mentioned in the other post it needs to be a very hi torque servo. My setup used a powersafe receiver as I fly Spektrum, 20400T I believe is what's in mine. As for the landing gear motors they can be a little temperamental. I would recommend using a jp controller over the one that's supplied. It doesn't hurt to get an extra motor or two for back up although I've only had one fail in 3 years. I actually have one now thats a little intermittent that needs replaced. I ran 12s and I put the escs in the main fuse and ran long wires to the motors. That may seem counterintuitive but it makes more practical sense and the escs can handle it. Reach out if you need anything else 😊

@@davidsnyder238 Thank you for your help! What is the part# Jp controller? I bought the SPMAR20410TS receiver and the SPMXAE1120HV ESC.I was going to use the A6320 servo for elevator. The motor wire from H&H will be $60.00 did you buy theirs or from another place like Lowes they have 25 feet for 17.00 dollars? What is your opinion of the light set Lightersiderc is using? Iam old and just started flying 3 years ago. Iam not a very good pilot but I love to fly, I wanted a big plane hoping this one will be okay for me.

@@edwinmclean2591 I would highly recommend using a higher end servo other than the Spektrum for the elevator. The torque specs even though they are recommended really aren't enough. I used 10 gauge wire That I had bought from Amazon, your going to need at least 24' and it would be good if you had a little extra. You will also need I believe 3.5mm make and female bullet connectors, roughly 12 male and 12 female if I remember correctly since you will want to be able to disconnect the booms from the wings wich mean you need to be able to disconnect the motor wires. I created extensions from the motors into the booms then ran the wires from the esc's in the fuse through the main wing and then they could be connected and disconnected to the booms for transport. As for the part number for the JP controller you will have to buy that from JP or another distributor as Horizon does not sell them. The light set that lighterside is using is top of the line. Im sure there are alternatives although I have not looked into them. I dont have lights in mine so I havent researched them.

@@davidsnyder238 Thank you so much I will do all that!!I really enjoy building planes! When I was a kid, my dad had line control planes, and I always told myself I would do R/C when I retired.

@@jettechdonatkins thanks Don!

@@ModelAV8RChannel this is my second one. I had utterly hundreds on the first one. Flew it to death and finally sold it as a trainer. Then turned around and bought the new one and put the tricycle gear back on it.

@@jcb6713 it was a beautiful Saturday for sure. Nothing else went quite right that day but the Cessna sure did.

@@Cadillacstsv06 I had to switch it up with the Cessna. That was actually an associated RB10, my daughters 😁

@@JeffsCustomRC thanks buddy!

@@WildBillFlysRC thanks for watching Bill! Nothing else went right that day but the Cessna was shining and flying bright.

@@JeffinLowerAlabama it was a beautiful morning for sure Jeff. Thank you! ☺️

@@slap-nutzrc7145 gotta switch it up sometimes 😁

@@timjoostens8887 always a favorite Tim 😍 it just flies to good.

@@rlbutterfield thanks Randy!

@@victorrcjets7660 thanks buddy, sometimes you need to have a relaxing high wing day once in a while 😁

My field is definitely not an ideal location for that big girl. But it's what I've got! Lol fly big or go home right? Thanks for compliment and watching, I appreciate it.

I wish you could hear it in person Ray, the fans are way louder and your right, that sound! It wasn't my best maiden admittedly, but any flight you can land with no damage I'll take it. It did definitely look amazing in the air. Hoping to have many more flights and better video soon. Thanks my friend.

@@reckemroysrc3764 thanks buddy, I guess we know now it worked to.

@@payitfwdrcl6171 thanks so much Brad! A little hairy for a maiden but I'll take it! I'm taking it a day at a time, but making the best of it.

@@davidsnyder238 ❤

@@stephanbinder3829 yes there were a few hairy moments during that flight but I got it worked out. It sounds like you have done some big projects yourself. All the build details for mine are listed in the description of the build videos. Finding batteries is difficult for this one as maintaining the cg is a challenge and space is limited. Good luck on your F-4!

@@davidsnyder238 What packs are you using. Good advice regarding perfect power: ChinaHobbyLine, 90C Racing Series. The power of those packs is insane. But they are heavy... more than 6S can be manufactured by customer request, I allready have 7 and 8S packs. Yes, I prefere electric conversions over turbines 🙂

@@stephanbinder3829 the power system and fan setup is 14s, I'm using 4, 7s dingy graphene 9000mah batteries. That 3:30 min flight came down with about 35% of the batteries left. Those batteries aren't produced anymore. Because of the amp draw 8mm connectors have to be used. Also, battery placement is tricky. As big as that jet is there's not nearly enough room where you have to put the batteries. C rating is less important than mah rating and dimensions in this one. Also, weight isn't really an issue with this jet. I have about 12lbs of batteries in it and you saw how it flew. A half pound either way would make zero difference.

@@stephanbinder3829 I've often thought a helicopter style battery that was long would have been better for many reasons but no one would manufacture one that would fit in a mah rating that high.

@@davidsnyder238 I need to review your build videos regarding the packs... just read you are using 128 edfs... I think, they are to large... from what I saw on their page, 2x 120s (I am using eJets Jetfans only) should fit perfect... also in regards to the weight. what is the takeoff weight?

Not gonna lie Adam it was a challenge with our limited airspace at times. My trim switch for my elevator mix was opposite of what I thought and trying to get it trimmed correctly was a nightmare. Lol it was also 100 degrees outside which adds to the excitement. Outside of that the Schubeler fans had gobs of power and the jet handled even better than I could have hoped. Future flights will be better now that I've worked some things out. Thanks for the support my friend!

I have a long way to accomplish the man, myth legend status Fred but it was a good day! Definitely hairy in a few places but I'll take the win! Thanks my friend for the kind words!

Thank you!

@@mikessi thanks my friend, a little touch n go in a few places but I'll take it!

Well said Mike!

​@@gblyndensrandomreviews why thank you good sir 😊

It was a little hair raising at times and if you look close you can see there is some grass hanging from that near miss before the go around. Fortunately there was no damage or issue and I obviously corrected that approach for the landing! Its hard to tell but that flying location isnt big enough for a jet of that size so it takes a minute to orientate the size of the Skymaster to the location. Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully there will be many more flights to come!

Thank you so much, definitely had a few trim issues that I had to work through. Not a lot of space to work with at our field and unfortunately no paved runways anywhere. Sometimes you have to just make the most of what you have. Im sure future flights will be better especially now that I know what to expect.

Thanks my friend 35% left on the batteries. I'm sure once I can just fly it without trying to trim and work it out it will be better!

Awesome David 😁

@@CvoHobo thanks David! Scared me to! Lessons were learned lol and the next flights will be much better

@@roachcoachhelis6387 thank you 😊

@@JeffinLowerAlabama thank you Jeff! More to come!

@@victorrcjets7660 who you calling a novice lol. Actually the gear are fine. I need to adjust the brakes though. And yes it can get slower, have to finish adjusting the flaps. That was the issue I had during flight

@@davidsnyder238 Congratulations brother! You know I am just joking 🙃

@@victorrcjets7660 lol I know 😁

Dude. That was awesome. Those EDFs seem to push that thing around well. I was not expecting that! Wow! Holy cow! This stuck it to the naysayers, for sure!

@@FlyWithFrank It has gobs of power for as big as it is. It even surprised me. The biggest isue aside from working out some trim with flaps were my nerves lol. Im sure flights from now on should be much better. I would have loved to have been at your big runway to fly it! As far as I know there isnt anyone else who has done this.

Thanks buddy! Glad its finally over lol

I couldn't agree more che. Way to go Snyder. When it was hitting the tall grass. I I thought ohhh shit. But the go around was perfect. Butter landing too. Nice job bro 👏 👍🏻 😊

Thank you my friend, it eats up sky fast! Hopefully my next flights are much better!

@@rlbutterfield thank you Randy!

Thank you my friend! This has quickly become one of my favorites!

Our club field is on the back of a landfill. Ironically I have more airspace when I fly from home at the carrier, of course I only have 150' of runway at home vs 600 at our club field!

HSD USA, XSRC jets, and if you don't mind waiting a bit Turbines rc has them overseas. The two US sources gave been low or out of edf stock for a bit but I recently had a great talk with the owner and found out there's new stuff coming, new jets, and stock. It's just taking a bit. Turbines RC still had some T33s in stock in case that's what you're looking for buddy!

Thanks Bill, it's been a minute since we did this. Big T-28 made it easy. There are a few planes and even jets I'd do this challenge with if Jeff ever did it again. Thanks my friend for checking it out! Happy 4th!

Thanks buddy! This is a jet you would love!

Thanks Chris, it's a great bird!

This jet you would spend your money and never stop flying. It's ridiculous how well it flies out of the box, I wish you could see it in person. The little I can show doesn't do it justice.

Thanks buddy!

Thanks Fred! That HSD fan is really impressive. I can't get over the performance. It's hard to see in the video but the vertical performance is off the chart. Gotta love qualification day when getting video taken lol! Adds to the effect!

Thanks Bill, yes the range is just across from the flying field and tgey were qualifying today.

Thanks Don! Since this is the HSD it's the stock setup, HSD 650kv 120mm fan and 160kv esc. The jet is 67" span. It's a great size!

Dude I can't wait till you can hear it in person!

Just a few little things but this has definitely been one of my best out of the box experiences with any jet or company. I have other HSD planes but as far as jets this thing is just next level Tim.

@@davidsnyder238 yeah looks like it.

Yes, Yes it is Chris! Thanks!
