As just an idea. What if you made an airplane that lands like on a aircraft carrier and you can add a string to stop it. Idk I’ve always wanted see someone do it
I actually did sometjing similar with my Radian. I have a large property, but the radia justfloats forever, so I cant get it down in my field withlut hitting the fence. I put a rope between 2 posts, and a wire dangling down from the plane. Worked ok, however the rope was too high, so it was harder to get it to stick. Was quite fun though.
@@bowenbrown awesome
Great idea! I think Flite test has something like that, but these guys would put on a good show for sure!
So good! My dad had a rc-shop for 25 years so i grew up with it. Since i kinda lost touch of the hobby, you guys made me go back to it. Got myself a turbo timber and started bush flying it myself. The old man was with me this week and now we’re flying together again. Keep up the great work guys! Thats the spirit that keeps the hobby fun!
That's super awesome that you got back into it! Thanks for the kind words - keep on flyin' outside the box! 📦✈ -Zach
Thanks, i will for sure!
I would love to see an Ultra Lite, epp, indoor, Funnycub inspired plane, build larger and more rugged.
Who would have known that the RV-8 may have been a good bush plane! Keep up the good work.
For real!, where can I buy one?
That plane has a very good canopy for fpv😀👍 Would love to see some fpv bush flying😎
Now that is a next level idea friend!
"There's no room here. We'll try it" LOL

You said give you some bush flying ideas so here is one. I’m sure from all the planes you’ve flown over the years you have a decent amount of electronics. Make you’re own bush plane flight test style using everything you’ve learned from all these planes. Maybe you will end up with a nice flyer? Keep up the good vids and see ya next upload!
Thanks for the idea! We do plan to do this again soon, but for now if you haven't, check out our videos "Walking My Giant Plane" and "RC Short Landing Competition". They both feature STOL scratch builds we and some of friends of ours did under the same mission. 😀👍 -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions thanks will do !
You guys are amazing with your bush style flying. Honestly, I applaud you for your willingness to put those planes through their paces. Just pure fun without consequence. Thank you for doing the daring for us. Cheers.
Thank you!
Watched ALL of your vids! Love your videos!
I know this was posted a long time ago, but wow! You guys are such awesome pilots, I really love watching you attempt these crazy stunts and flying in such unique places.
Way Cool! I did a Bush conversion on my RV7, with Hobbyzone Carbon Cub Tires and Wheels, bigger tail wheel...
I want this plane for this reason.
Ok I need one of these even more now!
Awesome!!! Fun fun fun,, thank you guys! As always!!!!
When I saw all the trees, the hand pointing then attemp number one, I clicked so fast lol
Love the new video thanks!
Great video! Keep the bush flying videos coming. I love it 😀
Woohooo! Fun video guys 😁👍
Great flying.
Honestly, incredibly skillful flying - inspiring stuff!
Look at the Flex in that landing gear, nice!
Hey man your content is awesome and inspiring! keep it up man!
Love what you guy's do! Keep up the great work :D
Appreciate the comment and will do! - Ben
The RV-8 planes is sweet in real life and in RC form and the carbon fiber gear is super cool in itself. I’ve never seen somebody bush fly an RC plane before but I always had the idea in mind mind, was just always too scared of breaking my only plane to try it, but you guys might have pushed me over the edge into finding a place to try it somewhere
That’s awesome! Give it a shot - it’s a blast.
Best quality documentaries for RC on the platform
Very nice video!
A very BADDASS conversion indeed guys I love it!!
Loved the video thankyou. How about water-skiing a model aircraft?
Thanks! Check out my old channel, RedDevilSquadron, and you'll see a video titled "Multiplex Fun Cub Water Skimming on Wheels" 😀 -Zach
I've got the same rav 4 with all the mods and it gets me everywhere mate ! Love them !! This was a cool video , I'm already looking up one of these planes to buy😆
So damn tempting!!!!
Nice video... 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks a lot..
Great video!
Pretty cool stuff. I’m new to the hobby and really enjoy it but not confident enough yet to try 3D flying especially. You guys make it look easy.
Looks so fun! Wooden prop?
I love to see when you guys turn other normal plane to bush planes and flying them in small spaces. Maybe you could turn a corsair or something to a bush plane. It is so cool when you guys mod other planes. Love the videos!!
Very nice fellas! That gear is TALL! My fav was the actual BUSH...er...tree landing!
We add extra height to the gear since our carbon fiber isnt super stiff. It actually flexes out to absorb impacts instead of sending it straight to the air frame like all other CF gear does. Since ours flexes and returns, we add height to avoid any issues with prop strikes during that flex/squat. The big bush tires adds to the height here though haha!
very nice 🔥🔥
amazing vid!, I would be keen to see what you guys would get up too with a timber x..
Damn waterskiing with wheels seems so hard. Gotta try that one myself one day.
Nice and funny video boys. Wish l could have that scills. Love the videos you make. And they trigger you to try every thing . Merry xmas to all of you . From a carpenter in north of europe.
A good Bush fly idea is i think to test the new funcub nd and then compare it to the old one
Ok, Just hear me out on this, what if you took the motion RC b-24 liberator and Eachine mini p-51’s and bf-109’s and did a recreation of a battle in WWII Europe
The upgraded rv8 is so much better than that one it’s just crazy how far planes come in a year
could you make a building tutorial for a stol plane maybe the mudgy made out of wood styro... ore you design one yourself i heard you know some engineers.. WOuld like to build it myself!
Great idea! Both Ben and I will be the first to admit we are not avid builders (reference the look of our scratch built foamies for proof)...so for this reason if we did a build video we'd definitely reach out to some of our friends who are more experienced in those arts. -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions Some diy bush planes would be awesome. Cheap diy foamies tend to be more fun for me because I have zero issues crashing them into things. A model as expensive ( from a students perspective) as the Rv8 or Turbo Timber triggers an instant restriction in my brain.
A funcub style plane cut from EPP would be super awesome! ( And indestructible)
@@dodo3441 yes definetly i mean i am also a stunden and do part time jobs to buy me ecpensive bushplanes but if i dont really want to fly them out of my comfort zone cause they are easy to crash...
Awesome video as always lol!
Where did you get that cool CF bush plane landing gear??!
Thanks! Check out the video description
something that i think would be cool to convert to a bush plane is the arrows tecnam2010
I think I need trhat plane in my life!
I grabbed this gear from critical rc can't wait to try it out.
Just wondering what wheels are you guys using in this video, I found critical rc wheels to be far too expensive. Thank u tail heavy, and thank you critical rc.
Sweet! Unfortunately the wheels we used are discontinued.
@@TailHeavyProductions bummer. Thank you.
Great video as always! When you fly around trees, have you ever experienced signal issues with 2.4 ghz? I think I have sometimes, if the plane is more than 100 feet away and there are branches between me and the plane. But it looks like you are usually closer to the plane.
Thanks! Nope.
Did you have a gyro in this plane? Nice idea I would like to try sometime 🙂
Make a bish mod for the eflite p51 1.2m its super light
Love your videos. I'm going to purchase the RV8 from tailheavy and wanted to know what size debro wheel to buy. Would it be a 3.5" tire with the carbon fiber landing gear?
Thank you! I’d avoid DuBro bush tires, they’re very heavy. Try Timber tires.
Amazing flying add always. Just curious can you fly out inverted from a hover?
Thanks! Yep 👍 -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions was just curious. I don't think I've ever seen that. You guys are great rc pilots!
So, were the carbon struts and the wheels the only mods you made to the RV-8?
BTW, very impressive flying/bushing. Way, way beyond my skill level but very fun to watch.
Thank you! Yep, that's all we did for the bush conversion. 👍-Zach
So … how many battery’s and recharges were required to film this fine sequence … ?
yall need to design a light wing loading park flyer bush plane with 3d printable suspension landing gear out of foam board and release plans.
Pretty stinking’ rad!
Does Critical RC also make a landing gear for the Funcub?
Nope, check out their website for their full set of products. Link in description 👍-Zach
More info on brand and type of tires please for ordering.
These tires are discontinued and can't be purchased. Sorry. 😥
Wow totally bad ass , what model is yours? How much?
Thanks! Check out the video description 👍
Would you consider this plane to be a throw around plane? I'm interested in 3d, scale, stol, all that stuff.
It definitely excels more at sport and 3D than it does bush flying but it will do the bush flying you saw in this video no problem. 👍
What is the music in the field montage
Where the hell do i get the landing gear in europe? Has anyone an idea?
Can is break easily and is it made out of foam? because I'm a beginner and i want an easy to fly rc plane
I'd take a look at the Aeroscout or Carbon Cub S 2. This is not a great plane for a beginner.
@@TailHeavyProductions Thanks!
Do you have a part# for the wheels?
Unfortunately, we do not as they are discontinued.
Can you let us know how big the tires are in inches and possibly weight
What prop are you using for this? The stock prop?
Initially the stock 12x5 wood prop until I crashed it into a tree and broke it. 🤡 Now it’s an APC 12x4.5 because it’s all I had left as a spare. -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions - with the 13x4 being common/popular with the Timber line I'm curious how it would perform on this plane with your bush mod. As hard as I've been looking at the TT Evolution you have me seriously considering this plane instead
@@grege2383 You'd love the RV-8! Originally it replaced the TTE for me only on the 3D side of things, but now it replaces it in all aspects for me with this new gear mod.
The RV-8 uses a 6s set up so putting on a larger prop would lead to high temp issues. The great thing about the 6s set up is out of the box it gives a true 2:1 insane punch out with cool temps...in other words, I never even considered needing to replace the prop for performance or temp reasons. -Zach
Is this plane rtf ?
Watching this video I think it isn't rtf. But i think now that this plane is very beginner friendly, isn't it?
Music is too loud.
could you consider removing the disturbing music?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪
