I bought the FW190 4 months ago when HH had for $150 off and I'm so glad I did. This thing is tame when compared to it's brother, the 1.5 Mustang. I've only been flying for 2 years. but I'm able to look good in the sky with this warbird.
If you break the tabs off the battery tray the fix I’ve used is to drill straight down through the rails at the back of the tray when fully inserted. Then insert a toothpick in the holes you drilled, cut to the height of the canopy so they won’t fall out during inverted flight. Works great on the Pitts 1400 as well to keep the battery from sliding back or you can use the bumper attached to the bottom of the canopy method that keeps the tray from sliding back. Either work fine but the bumper limits you to one battery size. Great videos guys, excellent flying!
I’ve got a question for you since you guys modify airplanes more so than I do. I’ve got a motor out of another plane which is exact same dimensions but it’s 550Kv. The FW is 460Kv factory, do you think the extra 90Kv would make much difference in speed or power with the stock propeller? I didn’t want to modify the looks but get some more performance. Also my opinion but the three point landing doesn’t make the geometry of the landing gear work and I believe causes more damage than putting down on the mains then setting the tail down. I’m landing on dirt which is is a bit risky for landing on the mains, sometimes wheels will dig into a soft spot.
It's the same as it has been for years with new Smart electronics. Really nothing new. Horizon Hobby didn't really push the envelope with this one. Just an update to an existing plane.
Great review guys! Snappy and informative! Just picked up one of these second hand and looking forward to flying it after changing out the basketballs lol.
It has an excellent dihedral wing which makes it very stable just like the Mooney I have at the airport and the one I scratch built out of balsa with an Oak spar.
As with most Eflite airplanes, the hard tires and battery straps are near useless, although the battery straps on this model are quite sufficient. I usually replace the wheels and tires with some equivalent and suitable DuBro low bounce variants, which help significantly with ground handling and landings, but their drawbacks are increased weight and non-scale looks.
This video was really nicely made, high production quality, detailed content.. however I couldn't help but feel like this was a sponsored advertisement more than a review, even if that is not true. I am sadly not fully sure what caused that.
Awesome guys! I saw this is person for the first time at Oshkosh. I wonder how differently it flies from the P-51 1.5m??…the P-51 for me is pretty easy to fly! Even at slow speeds surprisingly!
Love it! You guys have or interested in reviewing any of the Durafly warbirds? I've got the MK1 and BF109E4 and I love them both they are such good flyers. Keep it up!
@Tail Heavy Productions I would but I haven't flown for awhile and have never flown with max control arms. I'm worried the plane is a tad out of my league currently at least until I get back into it. And it stops being windy in north dakota
Can you find and review a plane called the rainbow. You can fly it light or you can fly it heavy, it’ll do what ever you want it to. I have 1 that I when I go to the farm and do bush flying take all but bare avionics out but when I’m at the feild I fly her heavy
Say! Since you’re a learned aviation person in industry and hobby, would you know what correlation having heavier wing loadings due to flight performance? Like is there anything high wing loading allows a plane to do vs a low wing loading, or if able would you always want as low a wing loading as possible? I’m someone who fiddles with designing RC planes and would appreciate the insight!
Here’s a basic rundown for ya! Mel got it, too. Low wing loading = floaty, great for STOL, 3D, etc. Bad for turbulence/wind. High wing loading = better able to handle higher winds and turbulence without getting totally annihilated but requires more attention of the pilot at lower air speeds and high angles of attack. This is because you’re operating closer to the critical AOA during takeoff and landing.
When you do a slow roll do you include rudder when your sideways. Because I can do fast roles and somewhat stay at the same altitude but when I do a slow role I loose a lot of altitude when the plane is sideways
Yep, slow rolls incorporate every flight control at some point throughout the maneuver. The way I learned them was by making sure my inverted flying and knife edges were down first, then practicing slow 4 point rolls, and then blending them all together and trying out slow rolls. It’s definitely a more streamlined process if you learn it building block style. 👍 -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions that would be awesome seemed to come out swinging at the timber while back and had forgotten about it. As the timber continues to grow and it just seemed to grow silent. Recently stumbled across them again in my search for more stol maybe it will be a good one decent priced at least but worth buying over a timber 🤔 🙌 would love to see you guys on the sticks with one
It's unfortunate these companies won't use a halfway decent material for their retracts that doesn't end up egg shaped and flopping around all loose even after multiple greasy assed landings! LOL
Could not watch. Music, or whatever that background noise is, is unbearable. Clean, uncluttered audio is very important. Why doesn't the evening news have a musical background?
Go buy your own FW-190 PNP with our affiliate link: alnk.to/7X0Ahsg
Your content is exactly what the RC space on RUclips needed. Great job man! Keep it up!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it 👍
Cannot agree more.
agreed 👍👍
Thanks for this one guys! I got one before they were discontinued and it absolutely helped me evolve as an Rc pilot . Thanks again 🙏🏾
Could you do a 3d trick series. Like the names of manoeuvres explanations and how to

Awesome video. Would love to see a review on the recently released 1.2m Corsair by Eflite!
Same

You got the format down! Relatively short with great editing and unique information that only a pilot could tell you.
You Guys should try the vailiant! It is a great plane
Would like to see your review of the eFlite 1.5 Meter P-51D
Another great vid so underrated
Finally, my weekend dose of tail heavy, now I can go out and fly
I’ve been following THP for a few months, and it s incredible. I always look forward to new vids.
Thanks, Jake!
Great review guys! Snappy and informative! Just picked up one of these second hand and looking forward to flying it after changing out the basketballs lol.
Tail Heavy calling this the warm up plane, when this would be the aspirational one for me :v
Fantastic review, thank you guys for putting it together.
Excellent Presentation. Great plane and honest valid critique .
Thank you! That’s our goal with our reviews so it’s great to see the feedback. -Zach
Great video
I think this would be a plane i may consider buying some day!
This dude speaks the truth. This butcher bird is awesome even with some minor flaws.
It has an excellent dihedral wing which makes it very stable just like the Mooney I have at the airport and the one I scratch built out of balsa with an Oak spar.
Yep! Sure does. I loved the Mooney I flew during my time building. Miss it a lot. -Zach
Awesome video very informative great flying love this channel 👍👍👍👍
Try the large blue p-51 from eflite. Some people say it’s a pain to land.
I would love to see a review on the FMS 1400mm Corsair. Great video!
awesome videos! I've watched every single one. Can you do a video on the p51d that would be rad
Can you review the eflite 1.5m p51
Please review next the new funcub
If we can get one in the states we will! 👍
Love this plane.
Can't wait for mine its on the way
Gotta fly that tail
You got that right!
Such a Great video! You guys are so underrated! great editing!
Thanks! Ben’s not only a great stick but also a talented man with a camera and editing software. -Zach

when it isn’t backorderd, you should do a review on the eflite 1400mm A6M3
Awesome guys! I saw this is person for the first time at Oshkosh. I wonder how differently it flies from the P-51 1.5m??…the P-51 for me is pretty easy to fly! Even at slow speeds surprisingly!
Could you review the Ultimate 3D Form Horizon Please!!!
Great review 👍
Love it! You guys have or interested in reviewing any of the Durafly warbirds? I've got the MK1 and BF109E4 and I love them both they are such good flyers. Keep it up!
Thanks! We haven’t considered it, nope, but cool to hear you’re enjoying them! 👍
Got this plane brand new from a friend for only 300. Unfortunately I am too scared to un box it haha.
Nooooo! 🥲 Open her up! Such a fun and rewarding bird.
@Tail Heavy Productions I would but I haven't flown for awhile and have never flown with max control arms. I'm worried the plane is a tad out of my league currently at least until I get back into it. And it stops being windy in north dakota
@@AveragePilot9201how'd it go?
@sawyerheslep8493 ummm, haven't had time to fly it unfortunately, and still too scared too haha
@AveragePilot9201 follow up! So how'd it goo?
Still havent flown mine
I wish I could land it that good.
Can you find and review a plane called the rainbow. You can fly it light or you can fly it heavy, it’ll do what ever you want it to. I have 1 that I when I go to the farm and do bush flying take all but bare avionics out but when I’m at the feild I fly her heavy
can the ar620 relay ESC telemetry like voltage, amperage, rpm etc to the radio?
Say….. if it is a trainer as the title says, then I need one.
Have you guys done a flight review of any 3d printed airplanes?
We have not nor do we have access to a 3D printer unfortunately.
Say! Since you’re a learned aviation person in industry and hobby, would you know what correlation having heavier wing loadings due to flight performance? Like is there anything high wing loading allows a plane to do vs a low wing loading, or if able would you always want as low a wing loading as possible?

High wing loading gives more stability in windy conditions and high speeds

E flightP51 1.5 mustang
can you add fvp to this?
All foam plane manufacturers should sell pots of paint for their models..
Carbon cub ss Try please
I have troubles with it pulling left on takeoff even when I ease on the throttle any suggestions on takeoff?
Be ready on the right rudder! 👍 It’ll still be required regardless of the throttle input rate.
Do you still fly out of Marymoor RC or did you move?
We’ve moved out of state
When you do a slow roll do you include rudder when your sideways. Because I can do fast roles and somewhat stay at the same altitude but when I do a slow role I loose a lot of altitude when the plane is sideways
Yep, slow rolls incorporate every flight control at some point throughout the maneuver.

@@TailHeavyProductions ok thanks! I just need to work on my knife edges a bit I guess
So thoughts on the durafly tundra ?
Sounds like we’re gonna have to do a review on it! 👀
