    Absolutely one of my most favorite channels on You tube. Incredible flying without the gloating and icing on the cake is doing it with a Transmitter that most of us average pilots can afford. No crazy advance mixing. Love the fact that you set it up as in the book. Good selling. Point. You certainly have my attention.😊. I love the fact that we use similar expo rates , but you are absolutely a way better pilot then I am. Thanks for twisting my arm on this plane. Love the special forces ops. Lol.

      @@ModelAV8RChannel Do you happen to know how to get the cargo ramp door off to replace the ramp servo? (Maybe it just doesn't come off...) I crashed a used EC-1500 and have bought a new fuselage, but can't figure how to get the old servo out and then reconnect the servo arm. I've searched RUclips to see if anyone did a video of it, but so far no luck. I know it's a long shot, but I had to ask. Thanks!

    Hi Adam - Very NICE - My order for this one was placed a few days ago (not due here in the UK for until middle to end of June ) - Mind you saying that i am still waiting for my 2m T28 - not arrived yet !!!, I always wanted to get the Orange and white one - but quite pleased I never did - it had issues that should have been addressed with this V2 version and I just love the military look.. I notice just like the old one the wheels sound CR*P - something about the Axles - just hate the sound so I am going to have to do something about that - Cool video Adam, Tas always full of information - Look after yourself and your loved ones - Martyn

      Thanks Dave. Simple and light is the name of this game. Think Timber or 1.1 T-28 with fixed gear. It is as capable as it is because it is so light and floaty. It resembles a full scale (like a Timber), but it was only inspired by that. It is a sport/3D plane at heart and was never meant to be super scale.

      Every model company releases videos of new planes for pre-order. It's called marketing. We have access because we are knowledgeable, have modeling skills, and because we put hours of our time into making high production value presentations. Clearly you don't understand what "Propaganda" means. It suggests misleading information. Everything they say the plane has...it has. Everything they say it will do...it will do. We stated those facts, then proved them on film. Nothing misleading about that. You want early access to these planes? My wife and I have about 40 hours of work all totaled in this one. Multiple trips to the venues, hours of filming in the shop and hours of editing. Start a channel, and knock yourself out.
