These are great planes. Anybody looking for one in the US at the moment will have better luck picking up a kit for the SkySurfer on valuehobby, which is basically the same plane. It is a kit though so you have to source all the parts and glue the whole thing together, but that's no big deal.
If you shopped well you could probably have one rtf minus batteries for about 100 bucks.
you are right.. there are, and always have been alternatives to the Bixler.. most planes like it provide a relaxing flight or good beginner platform :)
Very nice and stable plane. The loops and rolls look effortless ;-) Glides nicely ;-) Thanks for the flight demo and Happy Flying!
Thanks brother :) Yeah.. pulling back on a stick qualifies as 'effortless' I think :)
Cheers sir! :D
The siren part was epic, man! You are such a figure! I was laughing with my wife until I get pain in my stomach. All the best!
Haha :D Life itself is the best comedian or what? ;) I had kinda prepared a different joke, but well.. then that happened :P
Cheers man! :)
Such a fun foamie. Not a lot it won't do. Keep up the good work amigo. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Agreed Dom :) I like the color-scheme a lot better on this new version by the way :)
Cheers & happy flying!
Excellent review , really great plane !!
Thank you very much again brother! Highly appreciated :)
One of my first planes was a Bixler 1.1. I agree, it's a very forgiving plane in many ways which is good think for those starting out. As you mentioned, reinforcing the fuselage including the aft part of the fuselage is a great upgrade as after some harder than planned landing will produce cracks which eventually lead to breaks. I also went to a 2200kv motor on 4S for those times I want to get to altitude quickly or make a fast flyby. Providing cooling air into the fuselage was accomplished with a soldering iron simply poked into the nose just below the tip. One caveat with this plane, and those like it, is the typical dip down towards the ground after launch. Launching into the wind is best but that's not always possible so I add a bit of up trim on the elevator, then once flying put the trim back to normal flight mode. Great video (as always! :) )
Thanks brother :)
there are indeed some usefull mods for this plane, but that's just fine I think.. I don't really understand why it doesn't have an air-intake stock by the way.. I guess HK likes selling replacement ESC's :D Easy mod though...
Cheers & thanks for stopping by!
I knew you always wanted Stuart's job! LOL. Yes the price is good and looks to be a tough plane and easy to fly with the pusher style. I think a beginner plane though should included a TX/RX and battery because if you know nothing that stuff will be a bit confusing and intimidating. The XK a900 is super easy and gyros help you. I learned how to fly with the nine eagles sky 500 and that's almost unbreakable and super easy to fly also. cheers buddy and congrats on the hobbyking daily youtube channel ;-P
LOL :D Sooooooo did you buy one? DID YOU BUY ONE???
:@ :@ :@ :@ :@
The Bix 3 IS available with TX & lipo I think.. It WAS when I started the channel (some of my first video's were on that plane :))
I don't know.. If a bit of research is to much to ask for.. That's pretty samn easy these days :) But sure.. it's easier to buy an all-in-one set..
Thanks for this. I’m thinking of taking up the hobby. What would be nice is an explanation of some of the terms like FPV which personally I haven’t a clue about. Radio control flying is way more complicated nowadays compared with what it was when my late father flew.
Howdy Stephen,
Yep.. if you want to include the FPV aspect of it things can get (relatively) complicated.. Take it in steps though.. You definately first want to nail the line-of-sight flying bit.. Starting with a flight simulator Or get some help in real life is a good way to go I think..
And well.. If you have questions.. don't hesitate to ask :)
Ich bin deinem Rat gefolgt und habe den Bixler gekauft. Alles gut bis auf das Servo für das Höhenruder: kaum hatte ich es in Betrieb genommen, macht es einen Knacks und es bewegte sich nur noch in eine Richtung - defekt. Kurz: Reklamation bei Hobbyking mit Foto. Jetzt bekomme ich sogar 2 neue Servos HXT900 und alles sehr schnell. Die haben an ihrem Service was getan, sehr gut.
Heeeee mr. Detlef! :D
good to read from you again brother :) It's been a while!
And allso very good to read HK took care of that problem swiftly! It indeed hasn't allways been like that :)
By the way, do you mind to write in German language?
@@Detlef50 :D meines Deutch ist wirklich nich sehr gut, but werde es versuchen :)
Thank's for your offer but keep on English language. It's ok for me :)
regular medium CA for epo foam is great... or airplane glue that comes with these kits works just fine also...
Not sure what "airplane glue" is :$
Did this set come with glue? probably not actually
I have 2 Bixler 1.1s and the props that came with them were way out of balance. A good thing to do is add another reinforcing tube to the wings and glue them in. I've tried several motors and a good upgrade is the Racerstar 2212 1900 with a 6045 3 blade prop or 7 x 4 APC 2 blade and a 4S 2300 Tattu battery.
Yep.. I would have prefered the plane to come with a nice Master Airscrew.. the real 'probpem' kinda is that NO beginner will have a prop-balancer, or even know what it is :)
I'm kinda thinking: clip the wings, and maybe 2 EDF's? :)
I'm going to have to stop watching your other channel........
Best Bixler Yet !! ( _IMHO_ )
Ghehe well yeah ;) that one has been demonetized anyway :P
I actually never tried the Bixler 2 myself :$
I've flown the original, the 2 and the 3. Now I want this one :)
Ohwwww yep.. you indeed do :)
Loving mine. Added the run cam to it...but the stock esc isn't cutting it, it gets too hot and you can hear the motor start to sputter...I'm swapping it out this week...great review
Thanks Chip :)
have you added air-cooling to your Bix? That kinda is the major issue.. So an air-intake in/on the nose and an air outlet somewhere behind the ESC... that'll help quite a bit..
@@DutchRC yes sir....after the first few flights...may be a quality issue with the ESC...I have a 40 amp escs ordered and then maybe a motor swap as well...part.of the fun is the tinkering
Ohw haha for Sure! Screwing around with the RC's is a big part of the fun :D
Bixlers are good flying planes. FPV'd the heck out of mine.
Yep.. nice planes & affordable :) excellent FPV-ing platforms as well indeed :)
Hi... Bixler VS Bix3, what you can say to us about? Thanks... The fact of BIX3 have landing gear is advantage in my opinion to learn to do great landings. And have Flaps... best regards!
Hi there again :)
Well.. the Bixler 1 is the most Sporty of the 3 Bixlers.. So it's faster / more agile.. I'm pretty sure you would like it, but yep.. You can't take off of the ground.. So it really depends on what kind of plane you are looking for :)
Cheers!
Thank you!!! At this days I'm finish the tests with my new Volantex, a big bird with 2000 meters of wing... but I love my firts one, the Bix3. Let's go forward...
Forward is the only way to go sir! :D I'm sure you like your Voltantex as well! I've got it's smaller 1600mm brother here.. I think all curent Volantex models are nice planes :)
Man that looks like a fun field any collisions?
Ghehe we Have had some collisions in the past yes, and 1 close call during this flight :P
It's actually Really hard to hit others when you try :D
Very good and complete overview/review of the Bixler 1.1 v2! Thumbs up for sure.
I would like to note that going this route for beginners will give them serious challenges, particularly for the ones completely new to the rc hobby. Choosing & Setting up a model in a radio, attaching esc on the outside fuselage, limited access to the internals etc. might seem like easy stuff for experienced rc hobbyists, but for me was way too challenging at the start. Complete beginners don't even know what an esc is or what it looks like.
The lack of out of the box stabilisation is for me one step too far as a first plane.
I personally got started with an XK 1200 fpv version. Comes with inbuilt stabilisation, an already set-up radio using futaba protocol, very generous access to internals, a lipo offering 20min flight time at least (45min if gliding), no gluing for an even easier transport and it is a pusher plane so all of the crash ability and advantages of the bixler. And cheaper too! Just my two cents.
As a second, and more upgradeable plane though, YES!!
:D :D
yes.. good addition to things Alexis..
Let me tel you how I started my pilots career (has no real baring on this subject though :P) as mentioned in the video my first store-bought plane was a Graupner Rookie.. BUT before that I scratchbuild a few self-designed planes.. Those somehow actually flew :$
But yeah.. starting out with a Bixler like this.. It does require some researching... Isn't that A1200 a bloody briljant plane by the way? :D My A1200 was quite a bit more then this bixler by the way, but that has probably changed :P
DutchRC Adventures Wow!! That was mighty courageous of you to start with scratch builds! I can sense the true hobbyist in you. I have not yet attempted a scratch build, but I will one day...
For those willing to put in the time to learn more from the get go, and those who enjoy tinkering, I would say that the bixler is absolutely a solid base to start with. For the rest, i would advise to check out DutchRC Adventures' videos on the XK 1200. And get yourself started in this incredible side of the hobby. Challenging at times, but oh so rewarding and exhilarating!
I don't own the Bixler, so i can't really compare it with my XK 1200, but if you guys ask Mr DutchRC nicely, he might do a pros/cons video of these two awesome beginning platforms! Hehehehe
Either way, if you're on the fence, just follow the links in the video description of this video or the xk1200 video, you will support this great channel (no cost to you) and you will have a blast.... guaranteed! (Coming from a quad pilot)
:D I kinda didn't have much of a choice.. No RC-flying club around, and I Think (not sure) HobbyKing had just started.. Long story-short: I wanted to do the RC-flying thing, and how hard can it really be :P
Ohw! This playlist might be of interest to you: ruclips.net/p/PLXgLCadWLBnAz0yTF4oq-P_xqvLVWxRtL
It really doesn't get any easier, and flies well..
Bedankt voor de uitgebreide revieuw, ik ga er 1 bestellen, na een stop van 15 jaar :) wil ik niet gelijk een houtbouwkist de grond in jagen :)
Jij uiteraard bedankt voor het kijken Richard :)
Zonder meer een leuk toestel om er weer mee 'in te komen' lijkt mij! Een houtbouw model de grond in jagen kan altijd nog weer ;)
Laat me nog even weten wat jij van de Bixler vindt :)
@@DutchRC ik heb de bixler 1.1 v2 intussen besteld bij HK samen met de nano-tech lipo's die je asviseerde,
het spul staat vliegklaar, komend weekend maar eens kijken of ik het nog kan :)
@@Modelpilot Succes dan uiteraard Richard :D et is zo'n beetje als fietsen hè :)
Брат, отличное видео! Лайк, полный просмотр и репост в Fb :)
Highly appreciated again brother :) Thanks!
is it possible to lock the rudder to fly it as a 3 channel plane?
Well basically if you plug the rudder servo-lead into an unused port on the receiver.. you have what you wanted.. the servo will then be powered, but allways stay centered..
OR just mechanically lock it into place with some tape offcourse :)
Ah, ok. thank you for your reply! also many thanks for sharing this informative and well explained video!
thanks for posting. do you ever wonder, why it is, that YOUR model is the Noisiest one at the field. this model HAS prop issues. cheers
Howdy David :) my Bix 1.1 has a completely different setup as the other 2 bixlers you saw.. Both have 8" props & low-kv motors.. That does make quite a difference :)
The Extra 300 allso has a 8x6 prop...
this info is relevant, HOW. it's not. neither is it responsive. can you spell an electric prop Should ALWAYS be Quiet. a noisy electric prop is the product of FLAWED design, the use of the Wrong TYPE of prop or both. cheers
Dag kun je me zeggen waarom die nu niet meer te krijgen is ,ik ben een beginnend vlieger
Welkom in de hobby dan :D
De reden zal vooral zijn dat Hobbyking zowat failliet was eerder dit jaar / eind vorig jaar..
Maarrrr.. deze versie hebben ze nog WEL: hobbyking.com/en_us/h-king-bixler-1-1-epo-1400mm-glider-pnf-v2.html?affiliate_code=HJKOSMOIWCQWMNZ&_asc=3041913073
zelfs op voorraad in hun NL warehouse zie ik
I have one it flys very well. been flying Rc airplanes since 1981 have flown AMA PATTERN ALSO PYLON RACING . Hot nitro engines good old FOX QUICKE 500 BB 40s supertigre 40-s K&b 40 pylon special. I love the smell of Nitromethane in the morning.+adash of castor oil. the good old days. but brushless motors and Lipo's have a lot of +es. This Bixler1.1 stunts real good. for a foam plane i built the kit With a turnigy d2826-6 and it is fast enough for me, it's like a glider at slow speed great FUN. I MY SELF LIKE THE DUTCH GUY Say buy 1 . i got the kit 54 in GOD we trust incorporated green paper.Thank you . I'm Pennsylvania dutch BERKS COUNTY PA. BIXLER are ok.
Howdy Daniel :)
you've been at it a while as well sir! I very much like the unpretentious nature (and price) of these planes.. I very much like them D2826 motors by the way :D I use them for most of my scratchbuilds :)
Cheers & happy flying :)
Nothing ash tchanged: ze Duttch sh ish shtill there!
