They need to make an ultra-micro Focke-Wulf. The new Flyzone AirCore Focke-Wulf is pretty small, but not UM, and probably a bit too big for indoors. I know the FW is a "bad guy" plane, but man is it a good looking warbird. :)
I find that "Bad guy" planes are underrepresented in the hobby in general. Mustangs, Lightnings, and Corsairs are a dime a dozen, but it is surprisingly difficult to find a good quality 109, FW 190 or Zero.
I received the P-51 for Christmas. Waiting for flying weather! I can't wait. My first plane and I've wanted one since I was a kid. I feel like a kid again waiting to fly it! :)
It's funny you mention the P-38 wasn't meant to fly upside down, because that's true. The engines on the real airplane weren't rated for sustained negative Gs.
That might be true for your car or lawnmower, but that wasn't the case for airplanes. They had ways to pressurize the fuel system like a fuel injection system, which allowed the plane to fly in pretty much any direction.
I'm impressed by all of these little warbirds. The counter-rotating props of the P-38 was impressive and added to its stability much as the original aircraft. The multi bladed props on each aircraft was as the originals also. All three are great little pieces of great fun and very realistic.
One of my best friends has the Flyzone P-38. He's had it for over a year now, and it's a little beat up. However, he absolutely loves that plane, and brings it whenever we go RC flying! Also, he is a crazy good pilot, and he does loops and rolls all over the place with it! I'm personally looking into getting the Parkzone UM P-51, partly so I can keep up with his P-38!
My friend Curtis gave me his Lighting - man it flies SOOO nice. When my spitfire was working, it was great, but the 2-3 minute flight times kinda sucked. Got used to the old T-28 and P-51 with 7-9 minute flight times.
The Spitfire is still my favorite of these three. They are all great though! Even though the P40 hasn't gotten as good feedback as the others, I still really enjoy that one too. Nice review.
i just got my own Ultra micro p-51 mustang, and used nano cpx's brushless conversion, its nice to fly and i have more confidence of pushing it to limits without worrying about brushess dying
Me and some co-workers have about 10 of these guys in various conditions. Because they're brushed they're pretty slow so like they said, you need a few of them in the sky before it gets exciting. I just picked up a spitfire for 70 bucks brand new, very cheap fun :)
What you noticed about the P-38. The inherent stability of the counter rotation engines. Your Micro reflects the real world experiences of the WWII P-38 drivers. The Real P-38 was a huge 7 ton behemoth of a fighter, yet many an ME109 pilot DIED trying to stay with it in the tight turns of a dogfight. The single engine planes are so much more susceptible to the engine torque and to secondary stalls in High Alpha tight turns. The 38 might stall, but it wouldn't flip over and head for the dirt like a single engine plane does. It would just mush outward in the turn. An astute pilot could yank the nose into the turn as the plane was mushing outward to take a shot no other plane could make, except for the Mitsubishi ZERO.
Ahh the P-38 loops are so classy, even the game for the NES had those lol, I fly the P-38 in a game called "War Thunder" such a good experience with that plane, I love it. P-38 loop @ 5:24
Good video and I agree that there are tons of great options out there. I am more partial to one brand over the others as you all can see by my videos, but I love all RC planes! :)
The real P-38 did very well inverted due to the fuel injection and the TURBO chargers, not Super Charges but real turbo chargers. It was the early spitfires that had a gravity fed carburetor that did not like inverted flight. The engines would quit! Even doing a push over dive was enough zero G to keep the fuel from flowing through the carb.
I more or less learned to fly with the original micro 51, it was the plane where everything clicked, before it was always the need to trim loop, (gotta be able to fly to trim, gotta have a trimmed plane to learn how to fly, lol). It helped it took a lot of crashes (if you cut throttle). I still have it with tiny bright lights, it flies, just. Will put the tbl on another and never fly her again.
Great vid as always guys. I 've got the spit and the p51 and their both great. Your right about the spit being a more advance plane out of the two. The p51 is awesome and my go to um if I need a quick fix. Would love a german um warbird too.
The fuel system on the P-38 limited its negative g time to about 15 seconds so as long as you have positive G forces while inverted the plane would perform fine
Check out Martin Newell's channel. He has a fully fly-able 1:96 scale P-51D Mustang controlled with 8-channels. It also has gyro stabilization and is flown outside with blistering speed in zero-wind conditions.
I've got the P-51 and this video doesn't really show how well it can maneuver mainly because of the cramped space. It's really nice to fly outside and do some rolls and loops with. The AS3X is a really nice feature which lets you fly in windier conditions than when I thought would be responsible.
My great grandfather built spitfires in ww2 I think he also worked on the Lancaster at some point it saved his life being a skilled workman because he was more valuable in the war building planes than fighting so basically if it wasn't for the spit I wouldn't exist and we would all be speaking German in Europe
CA can hold well on props if your lucky. A friend was working on my computer and hit my CPU fan and a blade popped off. He used industrial CA on it and its still working normal and quiet (balanced) and that was 3 years ago or more.
They are all beautiful planes! I have the P-40 w/ AS3X. Love it! take off landing gear and change prop to 4 blade for great performance. P-38 will be my next micro. Thanks for the review and another great vid. Thanks for being awesome!
Also a nasty problem of theese planes is that the micro brushed motors come from CD-Readers and so and have a nasty tendendy to burn out quickly.. my 2 planes have eaten arround 6 motors in 3 years and have not flown that much... A new motor is arround 13$
Nice planes. I can't figure out what for protocol Josh is mentioning because he speaks too fast. It sounds like "salty protocol" at 3:00. I'd like to have an FPV version of the P-38.
I wish I could build small scale planes I can make cool little quadcopters from wooden lollypop sticks and nhe010 boards the last one was nuts I put 8x20 motors on it 3d printed motor mounts abut a crow attacked it it literally turned to match wood after the crash
Take 2 huge FPV wings, install a 3 axis gimbal on the bottom of each, install two receivers and 2 fpv transmitters, set one tx to control, 1 for the gimbal, put an fpv cam and/or gopro on the front, fpv cam on the gimbal, paintball gun on the gimbal, and chase and shoot at each other until a plane fies drops out of the sky
the reason the couldn'tgo upside down is because prop planes had carburetors whereas jets have fuel injectors so they could sustain upside down flight. my grandfather was a ordnance loader for the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier I know a lot of stuff that I otherwise wouldn't know because of him.
any chance of a "Mighty Micro"? Or is foam board the wrong dimensions, maybe electronics end up weighing too much? It'd be cool to build a 3/4-channel that I can fly around the backyard.
Alec J I would suggest giving it a go yourself. Download the free plans for a mighty mini and scale them down. It should be basically the same build method. You'll probably be able to use the same 5g servos, smallest battery as possible as you'll not draw much current in a light airframe. I'm not sure what motor/esc/prop combo you should use but you might get that info off other micros on the market.
Thanks for the reply. I definitely build more than I fly, and this is a good little platform for experimentation. I may have the parts to "fudge it" a little and still get it airborne. It'll be heavy in the end but maybe just manageable? :)
My dad has a rc piper cub, had a hellcat (was preatty big) but sold it, and he had the spitfire but I do not know if he still has it. I never got the chance to fly it but I have flown the cub.
i have the spitfire and to be honest its a bit on the heavy side which really lets it down compared to other ultra micros like the t-28 which i also own
Sadly, my AS3X system in my spitfire has gone haywire and the plane is now un-flyable because the AS3X keeps over-correcting and causing the plane to swing side to side until it goes down. Does anyone know of a way to hard reset the brick? I have tried restarting the aircraft and rebinding, but the problem still exists. Man I miss the old non-as3x warbirds - they all still work.
I have a Champ and a T-28 both micros.. they are really fun and fly nice but you cant absolutelly have any wind at all.. any amount of wind ,even light breezes will make them dance ..and if its "nasty wind" (gusts, rotos, whirps) they are next to unflyable. i have not tried a AS3X plane wich suposedly has to be better at this yet.. but i guess there is a limit on what electronics can do
wiill will the problem is that any nearvy object will disrupt a constant breeze airflow and create problems.. anythign like walls, poles, trees, buildings.
"next to unflyable" is is purely relative to your skill level. some people actually enjoy the challenge of flying in the wind. i have even flown my t28 in winds speeds just above the max airspeed of the trojan (it was like flying a kite or slope soaring). of course it was a 1 way trip but it was fun!
I have the p-38 and Spitfire. The Spitfire is a handful to fly, it's your typical warbird. I'm not a huge fan of the auto stabilization that parkzone is using now either. The p-38 on the other hand, is a dream to fly. I think its more stable than any of UM parkzone planes. Now i never had the chance to fly the new p-51. However I have flown the p-40, (old) p-51, Spitfire, Mosquito, and Corsair. It out performs them all in stability, maby not in speed though. The first time i flew the p-38, i hand launched it at approximately 3/4 throttle. I gave it a little up elevator. It literally went straight out from my hand. No pitching, rolling, dipping, or diving. As far as a warbird that is fun to fly and yet still easy enough for the beginner, you can't beat the p-38.
+bakagamer918 I wish a manufacturer would come out with a micro 109 already. Even a UMX Focke Wulf. The plane choices are starting to wear thin with to many repeats of same air-frames. I want to see some more axis planes hit the market, and some different naval planes like the F4F, F6F, or F8F. I can't understand where the ME 262 is either with power plants out like the habu uses, or the seemingly forgotten Russian Yak-3 I really like the UMX planes, but what would really make the market pop in my opinion would be planes sized like the E-flite Mustang 280. Those are small enough to still be practical, yet large enough to stay full framed and scale with the possibility to add flaps and retracts to as well. The tech is behind what is out there is all I'm saying
+Tuffenough4u I agree. It seems as if its nothing but P-51s, Spitfires, Hurricanes, and the odd Corsair. I've seen some really nice looking 109s, but they are all large custom builds that probably cost a lot of money and time, which most people don't have.
KooL...Looks Fun..... How much are those little Warbirds???? I have no speakers on this PC I am on........ so don't know if you said how much Thanks......
Im just getting into the rc world and I'm looking for a good 6-7 channel transmitter that can bind to most planes and last for my whole rc career... any suggestions?
The p-51 and 38 were not designed to fly inverted for more than 5 sec( the real plane) because of the oil pumps wouldn't pump the oil to the motor or something like that...(mostly usaf planes had that problem)
+Pretzil295 No it was because the Rolls Royce Merlin engine had a carburatior instead of the fuel-injection the Germans had. So when going inverted, the carburator drained, and the fuel flow from the tanks stopped.If you recovered fast enough the engine would resume running, otherwise you faced an in-air engine restart. The German BF109 had an fuel injection engine which allowed inverted flight for at least a limitid amount of time.
Do you felows, build Balsa tissue? I draw patterns, the controls and engines from your broken micro birds, would be perfect to retro fit any one, of my 4 patterns, P-40,F4U1,Me-109G,FW-190, Peanut scale, Not a Item I sell, But one I might send you to build if you have interest in such.
They need to make an ultra-micro Focke-Wulf. The new Flyzone AirCore Focke-Wulf is pretty small, but not UM, and probably a bit too big for indoors. I know the FW is a "bad guy" plane, but man is it a good looking warbird. :)
I keep on running into your comments for some reason
LOL =)
Gabriel Woller Hehe, I do tend to make a lot of comments, especially on good videos like those that Flite Test makes. :)
I find that "Bad guy" planes are underrepresented in the hobby in general. Mustangs, Lightnings, and Corsairs are a dime a dozen, but it is surprisingly difficult to find a good quality 109, FW 190 or Zero.
I received the P-51 for Christmas. Waiting for flying weather! I can't wait. My first plane and I've wanted one since I was a kid. I feel like a kid again waiting to fly it! :)
MolonLabeUSA did it survive?
It's funny you mention the P-38 wasn't meant to fly upside down, because that's true. The engines on the real airplane weren't rated for sustained negative Gs.
yup also u cant go in a steep dive or u will lose control for some reason
It's called compression I think
the reason the couldn'tgo upside down is because prop planes had carburetors whereas jets have fuel injectors so they could sustain upside down flight
That might be true for your car or lawnmower, but that wasn't the case for airplanes. They had ways to pressurize the fuel system like a fuel injection system, which allowed the plane to fly in pretty much any direction.

You guys really need to bring these back,
It's insane how much I look forward to the nex Flite Test video!
We appreciate you watchin :)
FliteTest LOVE YOUR VIDS😄
As soon as my phone dings I drop everything to watch

The P-38 lightning was reviewed few months ago by joehandsome99 ! Really good little plane! Great job guys as usual! Lot of fun everytime!
Great job guys as usual. Wouldn't expect anything less. :)
My great grandfather was a pilot of a spitfire
Did it have a battery hanging out of it
Charlie Leonhart lol
john daymond-king cool
john daymond-king My dad was a ball turret gunner on a B-24. Spit pilot though, wow.
my best friend's great great great great uncle designed the first spitfire.
The Spitfire is still my favorite of these three. They are all great though! Even though the P40 hasn't gotten as good feedback as the others, I still really enjoy that one too. Nice review.

The Mustang flies very well, I only got to fly mine five times before the ESC died. In my opinion it's the best flying one out of the micro series.
Now I know how you get such stable gopo video on a wobbly pvc pipe. That is brilliant!
The P-38 is great. Was my first RC plane. Very forgiving and gentle to fly.
Ahh the P-38 loops are so classy, even the game for the NES had those lol, I fly the P-38 in a game called "War Thunder" such a good experience with that plane, I love it.
P-38 loop @ 5:24

Would have been nice if you guys shot this video outside. You are great pilots and seeing you guys flying these outside would have been great.
Josh ,Josh & Alex; Thanks for the Micro Warbird review !
Great video, and thanks for the Audible coupon. I spent the last few days enjoying Stephen Fry narrating the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The real P-38 did very well inverted due to the fuel injection and the TURBO chargers, not Super Charges but real turbo chargers. It was the early spitfires that had a gravity fed carburetor that did not like inverted flight. The engines would quit! Even doing a push over dive was enough zero G to keep the fuel from flowing through the carb.
I have the original parkzone p51 mustang, and it didn't have gyros, yet it was easy and fun to fly.

I love my micro spitfire. It is my most crashed plane because you can try crazy stunts with it. Like inverted into the roof. That was fun to get back
Check out Martin Newell's channel. He has a fully fly-able 1:96 scale P-51D Mustang controlled with 8-channels. It also has gyro stabilization and is flown outside with blistering speed in zero-wind conditions.

Great point
great video guys!!! Please do a review on the Interceptor 2 that'd be SUUUPER GREAT :D
ohhhh my!
LOLS the hanging pony! bet y'all are glad for the safety netting.
I didn't know you posted reviews on a wednesday! :)
I just bought the Mustang today! I know it will be the best!
I honestly enjoy large scale warbirds but these are nice to.
Also Scale preformance is nice as well.
Spitfire is with polish signature. I LOVE IT!!!
My great grandfather built spitfires in ww2 I think he also worked on the Lancaster at some point it saved his life being a skilled workman because he was more valuable in the war building planes than fighting so basically if it wasn't for the spit I wouldn't exist and we would all be speaking German in Europe
Any chance of a P-38 lightening swappable ? :-)
Love my itty bitty P-38,fun review.P-51 now in my sights,must have!!
CA can hold well on props if your lucky. A friend was working on my computer and hit my CPU fan and a blade popped off. He used industrial CA on it and its still working normal and quiet (balanced) and that was 3 years ago or more.
Those are all great looking planes!
liking the indoor flying, yet i think they should do an episode on some shock flyers :P
Hey guys I was wondering were you got the Rc mini spitfire. Also cool video
The nostalgia makes me want it to still be 2-3 years ago.
"That's not a pack of hyena's people!"..lolol...Love you guys.
Extra like for the Discovery Zone mention. Childhood memories.
so i got the old version of the mustang like you guys mentioned and I also had the su-26 bnf but my su-26 is gone lol but the mustang needs repaired
this is my favorite channel
How about a tutorial on that gopro PVC mount? Got some pretty cool footage with it.
They are all beautiful planes! I have the P-40 w/ AS3X. Love it! take off landing gear and change prop to 4 blade for great performance. P-38 will be my next micro. Thanks for the review and another great vid.
Thanks for being awesome!
one of the Best rc channels out there,Great info and you guys always make me smile & laugh and if your not having fun your doing it wrong!!!
Mr Scott always brings the humor :-)
Also a nasty problem of theese planes is that the micro brushed motors come from CD-Readers and so and have a nasty tendendy to burn out quickly.. my 2 planes have eaten arround 6 motors in 3 years and have not flown that much...
A new motor is arround 13$
Us a capacitor to stop the motor from over loading
marco jonker
i dont know.. i dont overpower my motors... i usualy cruise arround at 50-60% throotle and not often i go WOT...
sparrowlt what do you mean by WOT
marco jonker
WOT = Wide Open Throttle.. a short way to say "full power"
sparrowlt ok
Nice planes. I can't figure out what for protocol Josh is mentioning because he speaks too fast. It sounds like "salty protocol" at 3:00.
I'd like to have an FPV version of the P-38.
I think he said 'SLT' protocol :D
Tactic radio's use SLT protocol. (Secure Link Technology)
I wish I could talk as fast as "Smart Josh". lol
Horizon Hobby has great products , Flite Test is Awesome ! Waiting for my Mustang's delivery from Horizon . Thanks guys !!!!
i really hope you guys do a review on the anylink ive always wanted your guys's opinion
As I draw my own, Patterns.
Have since young.
Another good one, would be the peck polimers, Folker Eindecker,
also a peanut scale, (13 inch wing span)
I wish I could build small scale planes I can make cool little quadcopters from wooden lollypop sticks and nhe010 boards the last one was nuts I put 8x20 motors on it 3d printed motor mounts abut a crow attacked it it literally turned to match wood after the crash
It's a shame we don't make such things in this country any longer.
Take 2 huge FPV wings, install a 3 axis gimbal on the bottom of each, install two receivers and 2 fpv transmitters, set one tx to control, 1 for the gimbal, put an fpv cam and/or gopro on the front, fpv cam on the gimbal, paintball gun on the gimbal, and chase and shoot at each other until a plane fies drops out of the sky

English Merlin engines did that. German Jumos ran great inverted, as did the Detroit made Merlins.
On the topic of warbirds, i would love to see more Flite Test warbirds. maybe a FT p-40?
Yes, let's charge some more batteries, cos we now have a super-glued prop on the Lightning and tape on the Spitfire wing! lol
Sort of like the old Comet kits, no longer sold,
or the Earl Stahl patterns from the 30's and 40's.
My grand grand father served in the finish army during the winter war (1939-1940) and shot more than 50 sovjet soldiers and survived!
any chance of a "Mighty Micro"? Or is foam board the wrong dimensions, maybe electronics end up weighing too much? It'd be cool to build a 3/4-channel that I can fly around the backyard.

You should make a TA-152 kit I think it would be very cool And fun to build
My dad has a rc piper cub, had a hellcat (was preatty big) but sold it, and he had the spitfire but I do not know if he still has it. I never got the chance to fly it but I have flown the cub.
Is there a Transmitter recommendation or review video? I need a transmitter, I want to fly planes, quads, and heli's. I don't want to spend 300.00
i have the spitfire and to be honest its a bit on the heavy side which really lets it down compared to other ultra micros like the t-28 which i also own

i have not tried a AS3X plane wich suposedly has to be better at this yet.. but i guess there is a limit on what electronics can do
the champ can handle CONSTAINT breeze. but if its coming and going its to unpredictable. well that's what I've experienced.
wiill will
the problem is that any nearvy object will disrupt a constant breeze airflow and create problems.. anythign like walls, poles, trees, buildings.

these are the best videos
1 very important omission (for pilots looking for a full flying experience) is that unlike the mustang or the spitfire, the p38 HAS NO RUDDER!!
i had the p 51 and i had to bash the crap out of the throttle to get it to turn otherwise it would tip stall at any speed
other than warp speed
I liked before I watched it because I know that the video is going to be awesome anyways :)
I love the propellers, historically accurate :))
At least none of you are trying to fly a BF 109 with that really narrow main gear. That P-38 looks nice.
+bakagamer918 I wish a manufacturer would come out with a micro 109 already. Even a UMX Focke Wulf. The plane choices are starting to wear thin with to many repeats of same air-frames.

I can't understand where the ME 262 is either with power plants out like the habu uses, or the seemingly forgotten Russian Yak-3
I really like the UMX planes, but what would really make the market pop in my opinion would be planes sized like the E-flite Mustang 280.

KooL...Looks Fun..... How much are those little Warbirds???? I have no speakers on this PC I am on........ so don't know if you said how much Thanks......
It has a lot to do.with how long you been flying .
Another small indoor sized plane is
an e-flight umx f4u corsair.
can you fix the links for the p-38, they are not working.
Im just getting into the rc world and I'm looking for a good 6-7 channel transmitter that can bind to most planes and last for my whole rc career... any suggestions?
The p-51 and 38 were not designed to fly inverted for more than 5 sec( the real plane) because of the oil pumps wouldn't pump the oil to the motor or something like that...(mostly usaf planes had that problem)
+Pretzil295 No it was because the Rolls Royce Merlin engine had a carburatior instead of the fuel-injection the Germans had.

The German BF109 had an fuel injection engine which allowed inverted flight for at least a limitid amount of time.
