Hi Andrej, great flying as usual, my Excalibur doesn't sound like that, mate that's cool, would you share with me how you make your planes sound like that, I've tried different things on my wings but no success, thankyou and keep the great vids coming, all the best Andy..
Hi, sorry for the late reply. My Excalibur is as it comes from the box. It sound good because I fly fast and mostly because I use this (not so handy) camera setup: ruclips.net/video/tM2Jm36XRto/видео.html Thanks for watching :)
Well, THAT certainly woke me up! Great reflexes! Very nice how you were able to record the flight sounds without getting any wind noise on the microphone. Was it a calm day, or do you have a special technique? I used to do a bit of slope soaring with sleek carbon/composite gliders (just over 13' span). They looked and sounded beautiful - I loved the 'clean' sound as they cut the air - but I found recording the whistle in a 15 or 20mph breeze almost impossible. Probably needed all sorts of fluffy microphone shields and weird parabolic devices (and a lot more skill)... But then I'd have had both hands full and wouldn't be able to fly. ;-) Whatever. This is a terrific video - thanks for uploading!
Hi, I am using this spinner/prop combo: goo.gl/13AY5S goo.gl/RxBJvL You get much more power out of this motor with this upgrade. I wouldn't use the stock plastic prop adapter/spinner when using the upgraded prop - safety! I am using a Nanotech 45-90C 4s 2200 and a Turnigy Graphene 65C 4s 2200 mAh lipos.
Wow have never seen anything like that before. Nice flying and also great camera work. I couldn't see if you had folding props on them or not, and if not did you just use slope soaring to keep them going? Happy Flying
Excalibur je zelo trpežen (ima eno šibko točko na trupu za glavnim krilom, kjer sta odprtini za odzračevanje - ko to ojačaš je bulletproof), ima zelo močan motor in ESC, nima pa tako dobrih letalnih lastnosti kot Staufenbiel Cheetah, ki ima veliko boljšo aerodinamiko. Je pa Cheetah bolj delikaten avijon, predvsem trup je precej občutljiv, ne tolerira grdih pristankov (sam sicer še nisem imel problemov z grdimi pristanki). Če znaš lepo pristajat ti priporočam Cheetah, če pa še ne, potem pa ti bolj priporočam Excaliburja.
I assume you are flying the Excal on 4S, and the Cheetah on 3s? I have an Excal - and it's great. But I want something faster. I see the Cheetah R PNP is currently on sale for €240. Is it a good upgrade over the Excal? (and is that a good/great price?)I would want to go 4S, since that is mostly what I have... I would want significantly more speed though if I were to bother getting one. Thanks.
Hi, the Cheetah R is faster, has less air drag and a nice whistle sound. At the beginning I was flying with a 3s 2650mAh Lipo but now I am flying with a 4s 2200mAh 45-90C Nanotech lipos with the stock motor and plastic propeller blades from Lanyu-Volantex series of gliders - I think that they are 10x6 size blades. Cheetah is superior compared to the Excalibur which is a foamy. The only downside of the Cheetah compared to the Excalibur is that the Cheetah is more fragile, mainly the fuselage.
This is awesome. An entire video of those awesome speed runs that we all love to hear/see. AWESOME!!! :)
Thanks man, I am glad you like it :)
Yup! :)
LOVE THE SOUND, AWESOME SPEED AND POWER...!!!
Thanks for watching Johnny!
Awesome video for sure!!!
I just bought the V2 of this about 6 mos. ago and not yet put it together yet, it is next on the bench
nice flight .. today i had my maiden flight with the cheetah R .. Nice plane .. thanks for sharing .. good job .. grz from germany
Hi, I just watched your Hawk v3 video, man, that thing is fast! But I agree, Cheetah R is a great plane as well. Thanks for watching.

Cool set up for the camera, looks like I best step up my flying speed on the Excalibur then, thanks for the reply mate, all the best Andy..
superb video and top flying
Fantastic!#😊 this has made me really want an excaliber but I've only flown my Valiant 1.3 and aeroscout 1.1m 🙄
What did you do to get the Excalibur to rotate so fast? What are your rates and the connections points for the servo push rods?
Well, THAT certainly woke me up! Great reflexes! Very nice how you were able to record the flight sounds without getting any wind noise on the microphone. Was it a calm day, or do you have a special technique?

Hi Elli, thanks 😃
I am using this special technique 😆 ruclips.net/video/tM2Jm36XRto/видео.html
Thanks for watching.
awesome flight skillz ! :-)
Thanks man 😃
Andrej - are you using the stock prop and spinner on the Excalibur?
Hi, I am using this spinner/prop combo:

Hi and thank you for watching. Yes, both of them have folding props. I just cut out the video sequences when the motor was running - no slope soaring.
What receiver did you throw in the Excalibur?
Hi, both of them have an FrSky D4R-II receiver.
Fantastic.
😃 Thanks Jake.
Well I prefer the Staufenbiel, but only because its whistle totally pissed off my kitty cat!
But both of them are rather cool.
😃
I agree with you, Joanne.

Staufenbiel ali excalibur...nisem še mel gliderja sem pa vozil drone helikopterje pa me zanima nakup kakega hitrega gliderja...kaj bi priporočal

I Think Personally The Excalibur Was The King On Both Speed & Whistle Pitch For Me... Butt Both Were C@@L!!! Thankz
Hi, I agree, both are great! Thanks for watching John.
Lipo 2200 4s ?
Yes.
