Sorry about that, I may have overreacted a little bit. I just do this for fun and the love of the hobby,,, nobody pays me to do this,,, and still sometimes I get people giving me a hard time about something I'm basically doing for myself and sharing with anyone else that want to enjoy it. I have a professional grade video camera that has amazing zoom capabilities ... but most of the time I'm the only one at the field and have to use the GoPro if I want to record my flights. Also, to your comment directly "bring the plane down...", this was a maiden flight, I do all maiden flights up high, exactly 3 mistakes high. That's pretty normal. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

I'm sorry I wasted your valuable time. I'll check with RUclips and see if I can get you a refund on what you spent on this video. But seriously, this channel is about me and my passion for my hobby, I don't get paid to do this ... if it does not meet your standards I would recommend not watching.

That's Harriman TN. It was pretty cold that day but I couldn't wait :) Weather here is normally pretty mild ... but we do have some cold days in the winter.

Yes, this is Eastern Tennessee,,, this is a lot of snow for this area. This was fairly early on, we got a few more inches after this. When we left CA, one of my selection criteria for a place to live was "no snow" ..... so, for me, this is enough.

It's a spektrum 8 ch rx. I'm using the built in gyro that came in the plane. I have a 10 ch Spektrum RX with AS3X+ on the way ... when it gets here I'll take out the Freewing gyro and give every surface it's own channel and then do some fancy mixing like tailerons.

@ I feel like as long as we use spektrum rx with antennas/satellites on freewing planes, we won’t suffer from signal loss like what other pilots have dealt with on their freewing models. The stock gyro looks pretty locked in! Thanks for responding, I def subscribed. I’ll prob save up and get this over the 70/90. 80 is a good size for this bird

@@allensrcadventures how to calibrate the esc?

It sure is. It’s a skill builder.

This spot is right behind my house.where i learned to fly. There is only one direction for takeoff and landing. Very tight area for 80-90mm jets for sure lol

How did those 7700s run?

@deantobe they are doing good for me.they are the yellow label lihv 4s 7700 x2. I have around a dozen flights on them and have good power with longer flight times of 5 minutes with mixed throttle management.

@ I’m about to get some. Thanks for the reply. Love the Zeus too!

Its on the slider, I can open or close it any amount I want.

@allensrcadventures where n how much?

@@TheMrskydog In my workshop and I have two of them

@@allensrcadventures can ya send me one, and I'll pay ya Tuesday?😁

Yeah, I noticed the strange sound too just before the first takeoff .... but I sent it anyway :) I'm going to check it out though.

I suspect heat too ... it only seems to happen towards the end of longer videos. It was a cold day .... but it was in direct sunlight. Maybe I need to make a little GoPro umbrella :)

Well, it has not been available that long? Got mine on Saturday - please post your results!!! 🤭🤡

It's likely always going to run out of stock very quickly. That's no reason to not order it. Back ordered mine after the first batch went out of stock very quickly. Got mine from the second batch. Order Date: October 13, 2024 Delivered: November 11, 2024.

Nothing to look out for, it's a pretty perfect model.

@allensrcadventures thanks

1.6m wingspane ... and probably just as long

@@allensrcadventures ​​⁠ sorry but it’s an Embraer aircraft. I used to work for them. It’s a Brazilian company.

@ I know that. I thought you were playing some strange internet game where you just shout the name of an aircraft manufacturer …. I was trying to play along.

@@allensrcadventures lol not this time

Thanks for the info, I knew he was from that club, I just didn’t catch the name.

You're crazy Bob, it's always moving ... just not a lot.

I landed it at the same speed as far as I know.

@@allensrcadventures cool thank you for the reply! I have found that when going to a bigger battery it can make a plain harder to land it is good that the jet handles the extra weight well!!

The video thumbnail shows it on top, the one on the bottom is just a little forward of that. They weigh so little that they have no real effect on CG.... none that I notice anyway.

I have the AS3X+ for flight surfaces but have not done the nose wheel steering.

I don’t think I understand the question? Yes, I landed after 3 minutes. Thats what I do on a maiden flight… then I check the battery and start adjusting the timer accordingly. Are you thinking I should have just flown until the battery was dead and then do a dead stick landing? That seems like a bad idea.

@@allensrcadventures so how long of a flight time did you get up to with the 4000 with testing?
