The nuclear thermal bit was pure gold 😂
You could say it was a… THERMAL nuclear bomb
I'm crying 😂
Best non corrupt Rc channel! you guy’s inspire me so much.
Thank you!
@@TailHeavyProductionslol
I would love to see you guys give it a bush conversion. The wings might be too big clear anything narrower than a desert, no problem, just cut the wings in half on each side. Weight reduction + faster. Anyway, that's enough from the armchair engineer. Great Vid!
Also like your mom.
The "your mom" jokes threaded throughout was priceless.
Hotliners really re-lit the RC plane spark for me. Something about that whoosh, and crazy speed momentum.
I have a Multiplex glider that seems to have about the same handling characteristics. I have rebuilt it a number of times following some "unfortunate incidents" that came about due to its floaty behaviors near the deck and its puzzling attraction to dropping a wing like a hipster dropping $3900/month to live in a downtown apartment over a coffee house.
If you fly it like it will bite you, it will reward you with "the swoopies" (a type of a sound it makes motor-off at low altitude after a long power-on dive) and some really impressive 3/4 into-wind performance. It climbs like a homesick angel with power and flap. It will do nice power-off loops after a solid dive, too.
Just watch that downwind turn to base - keep the throttle on and pull only a moderate amount of G - then, be prepared for some forward stick and flap to force that nose towards the deck.
You know I only watch these videos to see Bailey….And see Timbers crash.
The most honest RC review EVER!
Thank you so much for such an honest review, pointing out the key flaw of the high weight. I'm bad with money and I would have bought it because it looks so good, then been sorry. You saved me a few hundred dollars. Please keep on with this style of having true reviews, and not just fan videos. It really sets you apart.
Show that twin timber tow that ended up in a tree haha
almost 30k good luck guys!
I'm in Colorado. My ASW 17 will fly for a good 45 mine off the edge of lookout mountain before I'm board and bring her back.
If you want to thermal hunt pick up a 6610 and turn on Vario. We play with this in the plains and catch some amazing pre-storm thermals when thunderheads are growing!
Also, yes, bigger better elevator servo! She brings on the speed fast!
Can never have too many mom jokes! Another super entertaining review! Now I want a glider…thanks guys. 👍🏻👍🏻
That was fun to watch! Nice review. You really put that glider through it's paces. I just maidened mine a couple weeks ago. I agree with everything you said. Its fun, powerful, and doesn't glide great lol. The setup is the coolest part of this glider. Other than the heavy ass metal rods, its well thought out. Clips together pretty well and the styrofoam box works perfect to transport it.
I've been waiting all week for this.
that was so funny I was laughing the entire video. keep up the amazing videos!
This is my favorite RC channel!
I love the bush conversions you guys do. Looked interesting what you showed at the end.
this. desire to know more intensifies
This "Glider" is unbelievably durable, I have crashed mine a number of times heavily, and the only thing damaged are the stupid wing locks, and the very heavy wing spars.
You would not think it, looking at those wing spars, but they bend easily, on the treads, so be sure to have a couple of spares. But once in the air its a lot of fun
Great video guys!
Gotta love this channel
Outstanding! Your mom jokes had me rolling 😂
Great video!! I’m liking the looks of that Viper sneak peek!!! 😮
Love the honesty 😂
Okay click bait you got me, now what…🤔…..totally worth it, cool video 👍
Loled multiple times. Thanks!
You can use a strong, thick rubber band to hold the wing release switches together while you pull on the wing to take it out if you are alone. I love my.ASSWIT. 😂
Great video!
This video is for me. Thank you.
We need more videos a week 😢 it sucks having to wait a week 🤣 love your videos lads, keep em up
Hilarious you put out s glider video the day before I go pick up a Vista Grande EP 100
The wooshing noises turn quickly into flutter noises and then elevator and rudder departing the ASW17 noises. I loved the 2 I had. :) RIP asw17 #1 and #2. On a fresh pack it can hover for a few seconds.
Lol that STOL/Bush flying RC Jet at the end of the video😂
👀
Yo very cinematic... ESPECIALLY that shot of the dog
Love your Videos ❤
I wonder who taught the kid how to launch the glider by the wing. Great video.👍
Everyone of those mum jokes made me laugh 😂
I got one second hand for cheap and had to re-hinge the flaps and ailerons. Did it with dubro plastic hinges and hinge set to get it perfect. Anywayyyyyys, when I go into a dive and pick up too much speed, the wings start to flutter and the ailerons lose signal for a second until i bleed the speed with the elevator. So sketchy, i still like flying it at sub-flutter speeds and i really enjoy its authority! +1 on 150 travel and crow🎉
ENUF with the Mom jokes 😂
great production, good information, this channel should have 100k subs........
Thanks!
That edf at the end though.. :D
I had this pos. I put it into a dive and the two front plastic wing pins broke this turning the glider into gull wing while also bending the wing spars.
More glider videos! Scale, DLG, etc.
Hi folks
I don't quite agree with you.
This glider has its faults, yes, but it also has some important qualities for a beginner (it's virtually indestructible!). 🙂
And as long as you know how to adjust it correctly (by exploiting the thermal cambers on your Tx radio programs) and balance it (my Rx is inside the fuselage and the Lipo must be very far back in the cockpit) it will glides perfectly well, which is its objective.
FMS ASW-17 is one of the best quality/price ratios in Europe for less than 330€ RR, well ahead of Multiplex, Kavan and Volantex, for example.
In comparison, MPX Heron (one of the best EPO glider) is around 450€ RR. Same for Kavan TwinShark.
If it doesn't have a motor it's either a toy or too expensive 😂 loved the mom jokes!
“Our lord and savior Josh Bixler” “Give us thy daily battery packs”
I had a powered glider with folding prop it was 3 channel rudder elevator and throttle I spent more time on throttle trying to keep it in the air than actually gliding because when I let off throttle and up elevator it just wanted to dive rudder wasn’t a problem i even reversed the elevator servo thinking that was the issue it just wanted to dive so I gave up got rid of it and got a simple 2 channel slope soarer that I just tossed off the highest hill at park and no problem
The mom jokes on this one 😂😂
Volantex Phoenix has the better offer with a fuselage out of PVC very, very stiff compared to foam.
Your right except for one important point, the volantex has a very weak engine mounting surface, unless you strengthen it with glass or epoxy it’s guaranteed to crack !
Great entertainment - and I don't even RC... yet, but you may persuade me at this rate.
It sounds like this would be a lot of fun to fly as a slope soarer.
So much fun! The metal rods make for a well balanced super strong air frame!
When you recording this, when there's snow on the ground? Its August and everywhere else in the US it's 135 degrees.
Love your vids! 🍻
Thanks! This review was filmed over the span of about 5 months. We don't like to rush our reviews out and prefer to fly the plane a bunch and truly learn what it's like to own it before giving our thoughts. 👍
My math folder is double the weight of those wings…
my math teacher gave a lot of homework
Will you do a full Rewiew about the Flex innovations Twin Otter?
👀
So when does the Viper tail dragger video drop???
Another fun mod is slapping a 64mm EDF on an eflite Aeroscout running 4s. I did after burning up the stock motor. She's pretty spicy now and everyone at my club loves it!
Those "your momma" jokes... lolz!!!
I think you need to replace that spar with a carbon fiber spar. 😁
What size? 3k weave is probably best for this one.
And, I noticed at the end of your video you mentioned this one would stay in your fleet for a long time. I've watched your videos... how many of your planes survive for a long time??? 🤣🤣
Could you rate the X-Fly Alpha jet 80mm it would be a dream
First good review. I was able to get 7 flights out of mine. In my opinion this model has some serious design flaws. True it is not a thermal seeker, way to heavy. The wing spring locks are brittle plastic and will break. The wing assembly and disassembly is a pain in the. My main problem was with the horizontal stabilizer. I was in a power off dive and when I started to pull up the stab. Slid forward and I lost all pitch control. The hor. Stab. Needs a screw in it to hold it in place. Thus total destruction. After two emails and three weeks, FMS responded with glue it back together in broken English. So this was my first and last FMS product that I will ever buy. Sorry for the rant. The e flite night radian is so much better than the 17 in every aspect. ASW 17 parts for sale.
Love swusssssh on the lowpasses😊 fun like allways. Never tryed a glide before , but it looks like fun . Hava a nice day
When will the bush conversion for this glider be coming ??
Every club has some nonse with a powered glider going around at 20mph saying this is skill but it isn’t it’s just you can’t fly at speed and you can’t get lift either. This glider would be perfect for that type of people
6:43 - 6:50: Respect.
The thumbnail XD
If I where to buy an rc plane tomorrow what do you recommend? I’m looking for something durable and can handle a lot of abuse. Maybe some type bush plane?
Well if I were to buy an RC plane tomorrow it would probably be something like a giant scale tailwheel aka a Luscombe, but if you are looking for one that’ll take some abuse on a budget, we still stand behind the FMS 1300mm or 1700mm Cubs as good ones for taking a beating. 😁
Hilarious! Apologies to moms everywhere 😂
How does this plane compare to the Arrows SZD-54 released a few years ago? That plane is my go-to with many of the same features.
Please more gliders/motor gliders reviews. I'm sick of 4/6min flight per battery. Kkkk
So it's basically a Spirit O 76 with an electric motor? Been there done that still have the glider.
Hahahaha. Good time moms are a good time mon! Brick shit house - classic!
Foam is the bane of my existence, but I love watching your videos!
I wrote a comparative test in a French review between this "glider" and 4 other foam glider. My conclusion about this ASW17 is only price and easy flying are positive. But it's not really a glider, it's an airplane, build as an airplane with glider look. It's not crash proof as other Multiplex gliders, but the worst is about flying without motor. As we can see in this video, all aerobatics are made with motor ON. This stone need it, but I made a lot of aerobatic with mpx glider, with motor OFF. Nothing to compare. (Please note all Mpx gliders needs 12mm CG backward). I was thinking to use this ASW17 for my rc glider school , but I've no place for it.
This vs the Multiplex Funray!!!
Catchy thumbnail.
Is the fox 3000mm worth the xtra $$
Yeah, you gotta watch out for those nuclear boomer thermals, lost my favorite thermal glider to one!
Lol ... keep this up!!! Perfect mixture of education, market overview and FUN
4:56 basically compression
TBH rocket start glider would be a really cool idea, if they can get a long burn motor in there.
PS: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT VIPER
Did you review the plane? Sorry I was busy laughing. 😂
the criminally overweight part had be dying
One thing that you didn't mention, but maybe because it's obvious, for $300 and RTF in about 10 minutes, you can't really get a better looking glider for that price. Now here's a question for you guys: Do you like this more or less than the FMS Fox? Or are they just about the same?
On a long drive home from vacation, , tail heavy Productions!!
Add floats.
Half an hour to set up a High Start?
Side note. Small child is not included in the kit.
How do you guys feel about the ASW 28 from Tower Hobbies?
I want to get it as my first glider
Anybody else tried it?
either that, this one, or the SZD-54 from Arrows. All great starters.
@@snoriverrc3842
I will look into that one
"Our lord and savior Josh bizler"
I am beginning to think tail heavy likes to tell tales about FMS!?
Tell me you haven’t been watching Tail Heavy’s videos without actually telling me you haven’t been watching Tail Heavy’s videos. You go first….
A new “tail heavy” profile
More info in today's upload...stay tuned!
How does it compare to the conscendo 1.5?
Different missions. Conscendo Evolution is a sportier acro mixed with gliding design - whereas this one is purely meant for gliding but doesn't do it well.
@TailHeavyProductions haha. I think the conscendo is better, I've flown the new umx one and it's has an excellent glide slope. I can launch it from my hand, no throttle, and it can go about 200 feet.
The glide ratio of the original Conscendo beats the Evolution and the UMX by a long shot as it's much lighter. If it was still for sale, the original is all we'd suggest for an intro to gliding/light acro plane. Bear in mind how far a plane will glide after you throw it also changes with how firm of a launch you make.
Yeah, just one last comment, not to annoy you, the conscendo lineup is really impressive overall. Considering, and yes my throws are regular, but firm. Thank you for the great comedy in your channel. Instead of listening to drawn out boring explanations, you bring interest to your reviews.
hi mate
Bro doesn’t like pure flying, you’re missing out.
I’m joking, but it is a lot fun to do when you’ve been doing it for a long time.
A 1500 3 Cell is better for flying thermals
Sounds like it needs to be put on a diet. Loose the aluminum for carbon, lighter motor and battery, along with anything else you can lighten up. See if you can get better glider performance out of it.
would be nice
lmao👍🤠
Lmaoooo
hell yes, 666th like...
And hey even if i cant rly fly glide at least i slide. Into ur DMs. Come here, sweetie.
Hahaha
5:30 😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
I didn’t see you flying it as a sailplane you were just doing acrobatics nonstop. So how hard would it be to get it to altitude and show us how it glides or not. How heavy is it compared to another powered sailplane with similar wingspan. Just saying it’s heavy means nothing. You continually bashed the plane but said it was great fun and will keep it in your arsenal for a long time. I’m confused by this entire video.
Beware the exploding plastic spinner that will happen and wreck the gilder as the motor will rip out of the nose when the prop hub breaks whilst powered up.The spinner then becomes unbalanced and rips the motor from its mounting. Spinner hub needs to be aluminum not plastic.
