  • Finally, after 5 long days I got to fly for the first time in 2025!
    Taking it nice and easy with the UMX Radian, it didn't go so well, but at least I got to fly.
    Happy new year everyone, I hope 2025 will be a good year!

    Those 1s 3.7 Volt tiny lipos are very sensitive to the Cold Weather I have experienced when Flying the Hobbyzone Sport Cub S2. It has been very Windy here in NE Pennsylvania in the past couple weeks but I did get a couple RC Flights on New Years Eve morning when the Wind was relatively light for a little bit of time and it has continued a Windy streak and Cold since that December 31, 2024. I miss RC Flying at my Town Park only 50 Yards from my home. I think the Windy and Cold Conditions are going to be a Staple here from what the Forecast Show up to Martin Luther King Day in about Two Weeks. Happy RC Flying Alex and Stay Warm in Your Continental Winter as well 😊🛩💯👍🏿

      I thought about the battery as well, but I flew it in my Vapor a week ago in similar temperature and got 5 minutes easy.
      And I had this happen with other batteries before, I think it might be the motor or gears.
      Yeah, I'm ready for at least a couple more months of cold here, that won't stop me from flying. Wind might 😄

    nice plane, ive been lookat similar ones 👍👍😎

      It's the cheapest E-flite plane as well, really fun when it works right, if you have a dsmx radio go for it, really nice to fly around on a calm day.

    I wonder what happened at the end of the flight?

    • @A.M.-RC
      @A.M.-RC  Месяц назад +1

      It might be an excuse to convert it to a brushless motor 😂 Just need to figure out if it's possible.

      @A.M.-RC gut it and ad a new ESC. Definitely!!

    • @A.M.-RC
      @A.M.-RC  Месяц назад +1

      ​@@FlyTimeRCmain issue is that the receiver, servos and esc are all one unit. I might look into a similar size one from a brushless UMX or maybe someone has created a separate ESC that plugs into this. I have some googleing to do now 😂

    • @FlyTimeRC
      @FlyTimeRC Месяц назад

      @A.M.-RC oh ok. Maybe get the umx turbo timber esc? It's like that

      Might be a bit big, the fuselage on this is tiny. I did find someone that made it 2s brushless. Down the rabbit hole I go 😄

    Oh I was curious to see how this flies after seeing it all over the sales websites. Maybe the cold weather was causing the issues, but it seemed to fly ok👍

    • @A.M.-RC
      @A.M.-RC  Месяц назад +1

      I thought it was the battery but it's not happening with other planes, it might be the motor or gears. It's an easy flyer, very relaxing to fly.

    Maybe battery is just a little weak or it's the cold?

    • @A.M.-RC
      @A.M.-RC  Месяц назад +1

      I flew the Vapor on this same battery and it worked fine, temperature was similar. I think it might be the motor or the gears inside, I need to open it up and see.
      Plus these little brushed motors tend to not live that long or lose performance over time. It did sound a bit loud.
