Arrows RC Bigfoot - Fun and agile!

When this was on sale I got one. It's a very nice high wing RC plane with flaps and navigation lights which is all I need in a bush plane.
I've replaced the stock ESC to an Avian 30A to make it 4s compatible.
I fly mine with a 4s 2200mAh battery using a Spektrum NX10.
Technical data
Wing-span (mm): 1300
Empty weight approx. (g): 1310
Length (mm): 1060
Battery: 3s 2200mAh

I have graduated from the umx cub S
BTW, your videos are great!!

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them!

[@garyvale8347]

I also own the Bigfoot and actually learned to fly with it last summer..... it's my favorite high wing 3S trainer type plane, with flaps .......if possible, I would be greatly interested in seeing a video of exactly how to access, remove and upgrade the ESC for 4S LiPo capabilities ....and now that I have a bit more experience, I know I am not the only one who would like to see this plane, with a bit more power...thanks much for the informative video .....

[@SunriseRCAviator]

I can't remember exactly how I replaced the ESC but often one have to remove the front cowl plastic piece to be able to remove the ESC and replace it.

What the CG for 3s 2200?

[@looneytunes47]

im amazed that the eflite Valiant is more capable to fly slower than the Bigfoot ive seen some Super Slow Flight on the Bigfoot before stalling.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Valiant is lighter so it will fly slower in my experience.

[@BillKisel]

Do you think that those leading edge spoilers have much impact on the flight envelope of this plane?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

It's difficult to say without removing them. But it's a fantastic flying machine so I guess the wing is done the right way.

[@cardocube]

Did you glue the wing struts? I didn't see the clips.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

No they had good tension without clips so didn't put them on this time.

[@aragorn318]

Are you using spektrum batteries and the xt-60 adapter?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

As I swapped ESC I use the IC3 connector to my Spektrum batteries on the Bigfoot but on other planes I own I use the XT60 into the IC3 on spektrum batteries.

[@greglewis20]

Husky, BugFoot, Timber Evolution??
What should I buy??

[@SunriseRCAviator]

I would pick Bigfoot as the most fun but the Turbo Timber Evo is such a complete package and flies great so as always very difficult to choose. That's why I have both.

[@greglewis20]

I am looking for next step plane. I have an instructor and I bought a NX8

[@SunriseRCAviator]

If you haven't looked at the Hobbyzone Apprentice S2 it's a great step from the UMX planes. Very easy to fly but still enjoyable when you gain more confidence.

[@CrocaDucks]

How easy was it to swap the esc?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Pretty easy.

[@greglewis20]

You mean the 1.2 meter plane?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Yes

[@looneytunes47]

Did you change out the Esc when you went to fly it on 4s?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Yes I put in an Avian ESC.
