I have said this in your comments before, only been flying for nine months now and I got one of these about six months ago. I believe it was my fourth plane (had a UMX timber, t-28, leader 480 and a not built e Flite slick 3D (balsa ARF)). This 300 is what taught me how to really fly (trainer planes didn’t teach me anything except orientation help) and greatly sped up the process of learning. It’s extremely snappy, a little heavy for a 3D plane, but a great 3D trainer. I say that because I had 100% rates with about 50% exp, 70% rates with 35% expo and 50% rates with 20% expo (35%on elevator for landing control). A caution though, if you have to flip it into safe in low rates flip it over to full rates right after or you may not get it to turn back to you. When you turn the rates way down it tames the plane a lot. It flys extremely predictable at low rates and holds lines wonderfully. It will float in on landings and the only bad tendency I found it has is if you get to slow and flair to much it will plop on the runway like a brick without warning lol. Awesome plane and early intermediate flyers could fly it and slowly turn the rates up. I personally believe that as far as precision flying goes this is one of the best for $300 on the market. Because of this plane I now fly extreme flight, Pilot RC and Skywing planes . 74” slick, 60” extra, 60” edge, 78” extra 330 gasser. Several EDF jets as well, Rafale and an F18 80mm E Flite are the latest additions. Can’t wait for the 80mm F16 to get here. Anyone reading this keep in mind (not bragging, but I have picked this up quickly. 30 years in RC buggy racing and switched to planes 9 months ago), but I have a highly accomplished pattern plane flyer locally that has been helping me learn. So all of you that are new like me keep that in mind when reading this lol. As always, great video Brian. PS. My friend and I here are about to start up our own RUclips channel. Moto will be “Even a Chris can fly it” lol. I don’t like that name though… haha
This is my favourite of your videos. I am amused, amazed, and educated, all at the same time. I understand what you meant about how the experts fly by intuition, unlike someone like me that needs to see which way the plane is pointing then decide what to do. Luckily someone invented safe technology. Beautiful plane, beyond my capabilities, but something to aspire towards.
Awesome! Thanks, and glad you're enjoying our videos. Glad you're here with us, and aspire on, but don't forget to make moves toward where you want to be...a little each day, if you can, and it's not that far off - you CAN do it!
Maiden this plane today crazy flyer but I used low rates and that was even a little much for me I'm gonna try and fly a spectrum 4s 2200mah 100c for a longer flight time hopefully CG will work out love the videos keep up the great work your always my go to when choosing a plane
I have to say Megan is one of the best camera crew personal videoing on YT. Brian just start flying inverted more and in no time you will feel more comfortable doing 3D. I used to be scared flying inverted, now I fly all my planes inverted with ease. Just start simple flying in circles and figure 8's for most of a pack, and before you no it will feel easy. This is my favorite channel for RC reviews and all around good entertainment. 2nd would have to be the Petrincic Bros RC channel. Thanks and Good Luck.
Set this thing up with flaperons and 150% rates. I've landed it bush style like that. Here in Raleigh, the flying field I'm usually flying from is a cratered grassy hellscape for taildraggers. You gotta come in super slow to avoid getting flipped by the longer grass.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Update the firmware, then factory reset it. That'll unlock the receiver. Set it to adjustable AS3X gains and put them on a slider so you can dial it in while flying.
Brian, I just want you to know that these videos are enjoyable and informative. You are appreciated and needed for people like myself. Please don’t stop doing the radio setup portions, but do slow down there a bit. 😂 sometimes I rewind many times trying to figure out what you just said. BTW, I just purchased this plane from your link along with a Viper. I hope somehow you see that, & know that it’s from this student. ✌🏽
Thanks L Man! We appreciate you buying from the links, it adds up and really help. As far as slowing down on Radio Setup, have you tried clicking the GEAR icon and playback speed to a lower speed? This might help ;) We already have near mutiny over how much we cover as it is, so we kinda gotta go fairly quick, but will go slower on some of the more beginner orientated plane, to help.
Yes Sir I have, no worries though. I get it done. 🤣😂🤣 I’ll just look through the earlier videos to find your basic setup. Then write write it down, and commit it to memory.
I got a 2 hour flight experience from my Daughter a few years ago, got to fly a 330 Extra! What a blast! Got to do loops, rolls and some hi G pullouts from some aggressive dives! It really messed with my body. I didn’t feel rite for about 24 hours. The pilot told me the G’s really screwed me up. It also messes with the inner ear which can really effect the way you feel. I didn’t up chuck, which was great!
I hear ya, I grew up on my family’s boats for over 25 years. Never sea sick ever!! Mom And Dad would put me in the bow of our ski boat as a baby and the minute that Mercury outboard started I was out like a light! LOL, my Brothers and sister would ski like crazy and I sleepy in the bow the whole time. Dad sold the ski boat but returned to the sea (so to speak) when I was 9. We took the US Power Squadron course one winter, it was a cool father/son thing we did one winter. I learned to plot courses navigate by the stars! Very cool, however with today’s GPS that’s old technology I’ll never remember! Ho well it was fun and I was his 1st mate. Could back his 42 ft Christ Craft into its dock space without even touching a pole sometimes! I miss those days.
Awesome flying Brian ! ! Also gotta shout out to the camera crew - you do an AMAZING job filming.Many other channels don’t capture the plane enough when they try to do reviews . You literally keep the plane in frame the entire time ! Even with low fast passes, the front of the plane never leaves the frame ! Excellent job !
She is very good with it, and we're so lucky she tolerated the demands of the work. thanks for mentioning it, and I agree whole heartedly, she deserves massive coudos!!! Thanks for the comment alec brown!
Some dude at my club is trying to manufacture inexpensive racers to replace the sky angel rare bear and he brought some out to use on our clubs 3pylon pole race and they were really similar in speed and performance to the rear bear
I love your non 3d flier point of view. LOL I loooovvvee low and slow. upside down. keep at it and dont be afraid to crash. Safe has become obsolete to me besides losing visual. I usually set all throws to max with expo. Big batteries as far back as I can so it'll stall itself. Definitely interested in this model. The Sukhoi SU-29MM 1.1m gen 2 is still my favorite plane Ive ever owned out of at least 10 eflite models.
Brian I have been scouring the web looking for an answer. I should have just came here and asked you.What bigger size battery will fit in the extra 300. I am trying to upgrade to 4s 4000 30c or 4s 5000 ,but Idk if they will fit before I buy. Also the cg is always off when I flip it upside down to check cg. I have 3s 2200 and 3s 3200 smart packs .I watched your 1st video and maybe I’m doing it wrong but can you help clarify battery and cg. Also I have a hard case 3s 5000 50c reaction pack for my race buggy would this even work I put the battery in and it does fit ?? If you could do a 3rd video this would be awesome. “Battery upgrades and CG explanations “ as the title,Your viewers would appreciate and give lots of thumbs up I bet !!!
I would be amazed if anything close to that size would fit. Most 3D planes fly a bit tail heavy, so you probably want to keep the battery fairly small too, so it's light on it's feet. Mark the CG at the recommended points (in the manual / video) then put your battery in... now balance the plane, or attempt to balance the plane on the marks, and each spot between the marks. When you're done flying...note if you liked the way it flew, or if you didn't. It's a highly subjective thing, especially on a 3D plane. YOU have to make the call where you want it. Some people will need it to be fairly nose heavy so the plane is pretty stable in "sport" flying (just putting around and doing some light aerobatics) while 3D pilots will want the plane to fly totally different, with a fairly tail heavy setup...this means the CG marks will stay where it is on the wing, but you'll be moving the point where the plane balances forward of those marks. CG is a basic of flight, but when you're doing 3D it's all goofy...you WANT the plane to fly kinda weird to help with some hammerhead style maneuvers...but this makes the elevator super-duper touchy...so you need to be extra skilled or use a ton of expo to help reduce porpoising of the plane.
I Speaking of Dynam, I (and others I suspect) would love to see a review of the Dynam F4F Hellcat. Same size class as the FW-190 and the only one out there that isn't too big and too expensive for us smaller budget enthusiasts. It looks gorgeous on the Bitgohobby website, and sounds like it's a really good flyer. It would be a great build/review.
I will do it, when they send it. We have a few planes in queue, so please understand that even if they shipped it tomorrow, we wouldn't have footage ready for a few weeks at the fastest. We don't want you to get the wrong idea; we're not ignoring your request, it just takes time for everything to happen. We have some scheduling issues to work around, namely Mother Nature, and previously recorded footage, that's ready to publish and sitting ready.
Give yourself some credit! You are far too modest. I watch your channel because of the great dynamic duo you and your camera crew are, the great flying, and the suspense when you have to fly evasively because the lvc activates. Lol
Another great video Brian! Camera crew always does a great job keeping the plane in sight as well! I’m gonna go broke watching your videos, makes me wanna buy all the planes you review. I’m debating on getting a extra 300 or a carbon z cub Ss 2.1m can’t make up my mind
I am 15 years old and this was my 3e plane and I still have it because it flies great it has al lot of power i fly it with Hacker 3800mah 25 cc 4s lipo and i love this plane. If you have room over in the hobby room go buy this plane is a lot of fun for the beginners and the pro flyers. Nice video Brian and Nice review about this plane. Have a Nice day
It's been a while, and we're about to review the V2 of the Extra 300, so can I defer till then? It'll be pretty quick, and don't want to leave you hanging...but I can't remember my experience with the Extra 300, so I'd be somewhat unfair to it, vs the very good Edge 540... Hope you understand where I'm coming from.
I just joined my local fields within a 3 min and 6min of my house but they are both grass fields. I been eyeing up this and the ultimate biplane. But the rear wheels on those models look like they will be problematic with the grass take offs. Is that something to worry about. If so I’ll wait on those and get the crescendo. The fields are long but also longer grass every time I been so far

Hi Brian. This question is unrelated to the Extra 300 video, but entirely relevant to your income! I want a B25 and did not find a review of one on your channel so don’t have a link to purchase one that would attribute back to you. So, do you have a link to a B25 that you like, or a long to Banana or one of the other suppliers that I can use to contribute to the construction of your runway? Don’t you just year to own the airplane that the Doolittle raiders used to put the hurt Imperial Japan? When you watch Pearl Harbor (yeah, I know its dramatized), doesn’t that make you want to mark out a scale carrier on your driveway and see if you can make it happen??? Oh yeah, you know you do. So help me out. Which B25 do you suggest. And I’ll be settling it up with a Spektrum receiver so I can get all the NX8 power into it.
Thank you for thinking of us for the B25. We're very flattered that you're going out of your way to ask. We don't currently have any links with Banana Hobby, but if we get into a relationship with them, we will make sure to share this link with you Bendrix. Thanks again for thinking of this, and it really does help us!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC you have my 100% support! Do you have an opinion of any of the Banana models? If I get one I’ll set it up with Spektrum SMART receiver, esc. I really like those flight modes.
When I started flying last year, I said out loud that I was happy just flying around, and that 3d wasnt for me..... then I got a Timber X, and an ultimate 3d.... this 300 also looks appealing.... damn this hobby is addictive....

Hey Brian. Great flying as usual. Two questions. Is that 2200mah. all the way to the front./// And second. What would the flight time be on that 2200 if you flew less aggressivey. Let me know please. This will be my next airplane. THANKS Brother.
It's a 3D plane, but I suppose you COULD fly less aggressively. Maybe a minute better flight times? As for the location of the flight pack, I'd be 100% lying if I said I could remember - sorry!!!

He man you have helped me so much in my start with rc. I was wondering if you could help me out with this cuestión?. I’m from a small town in PA in the Northampton aria. There is like one club out here I think. But my question is I’m in college and I herd you need to pay a membership to fly at a flying field. Can you fly in one with out paying or like a day pass? Or should I not worry about it and just fly even edfs when I get to them in my local baseball field?
Nick I am I have learned from a ton Brian’s videos. I live in Western PA west of Pittsburgh and all I can say is look and meet people from the flying fields Out this way you can fly at a club three or four times as a guest then you can decide if you want to join or not.
Nick - sounds like Rob might have given you some advice ;) My thing was to fly small planes at large, open spaces. It's kinda questionable. If you can get permission, or get away with it, you just need to make sure you're doing your best to follow the "Know before you fly" rules, or can get by without having issues... some areas are WAY worse than others. I used to fly in my neighborhood, but I was on our board of directors in the HOA, and we knew almost EVERYONE. It was a thing, and we were the second people on our street and the longest tenured home owners on the block, so people just kinda let us do out thing. Some were less favorable to the idea, but the rest hushed them since we had good relationships with them. We also flew out planes across the main road, about 5 minute drive to a community college with a large parking lot. Later another parking lot that was close by got adapted by an AMA flying site. This is a big challenge for a new RC pilot. Here's my take... If you can keep it below 250grams, (like some UMX planes from Horizon Hobby) then you technically are below the weight threshold for the FAA "Drone Registry" so you can fly wherever you want, essentially....but don't piss off the neighbors, since they're too dumb to know the rules. Find an AMA field if you want to pick up on tip and tricks from the locals, but buyer be ware, it's not always a warm place to be...you will find some of the best and worst of the hobby at these fields. You have to get in there and find someone who will work with you...if you don't, or they're all A-holes - leave and never come back, it will ruin the hobby for you. You gotta make sure they're going to treat you like they should - a future flyer, not a pia. I will help you, as I've done for hundreds or thousands of people like you, but I can only do so much thousands of miles away from you. Keep interested, and start thinking about your first plane. I can help you with that too. Good luck!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you so much man it means a lot that you would take the time to right this out for me 💪🏽❤️. What’s amazing is that having a casual convo with one of my favorite Professors at college we I found out that he is an rc hobbyists as well and he told me to call him when I wanted to go out to the field, so he can introduce me to some of his friends. And he said they have a lot of diversity from kids to people of different nationalities, witch makes me feel a lot more at ease because i mite not feel left out. He told me Tuesday’s or training days so you will find people with there high wing tundras. And get this it’s 25$ for a year worth of training every Tuesday!!!! And 50 per month to be a member with is a little high because you also need your insurance from the Association which is another 50. So I don’t know if becoming a member is viable at the moment that’s a fat 100 every month but at least there’s a place to go it’s pretty close. I didn’t even know but it was hidden in plane site just down the road from a local hobby shop called Trains and Liens.
I fly without SAFE, but AS3X is pretty much always active on BNF planes. If you get PNF, you can turn off the stabilization (AS3X). But to answer your question... I FAR prefer stabilization over not...even when not necessary.
Or make or get adapters. I don't want to chop these ends off and lose the possibility of the smart connection in the future, but I used to do that ALL the time too.
I just got this thing last week and put a few flights on it with a 3200mah smart pack. And DAMN this plane is crazy, totally gives me butterflies being a very intermediate pilot
Brain did ya every get the cargo plane worked out was going to get one you help me good in so many was thank you, sorry ta hear about ya hitting your mail box,but the way ya said it is good anyway..
So I just bought this plane, and I flew my Lectron Pro 4s 3000mah 30c (battery) and my battery was at 20-25% after a 2 1/2 min flight (just cruising) how come you got a 5min plus flight? Spectrum battery? Cause you used a 50c battery? Thanks, really appreciate you
3D planes suck power if you let them? Not sure why your battery only lasted that long. We've had real good luck with the SMART packs, but since they're sometimes 2X the price of other options, a lot of people won't even try one out...but I can tell you that unless you're using them in "Battery Eaters" (Planes that kill batteries, like the Eflite F-18 80mm, for example) they will outlast most packs and give great flight times, and then you can neglect them and never discharge a single pack, EVER ;) My type of battery!
If money is no object, this would be an AMAZING choice, but if you're like most other RC enthusiast you could probably get an NX8 and do 99% of what you'll need from a transmitter over the next 5-10 years (if working within the DSMX protocol AKA Horizon Hobby gear and there are some off brand / knock off stuff in the DSM2/DSMX protocol) I want you to be satisfied, but I'm not gonna try to trick you into getting a $2000 transmitter - even though I think you'd be the envy of most RC clubs...it's just not that common. What if you buy this ix20 and then get your first plane and hate doing it, and quit? That would be crappy! My alternative recommendation would be to use your money slightly different, and consider buying a RTF (Ready to fly...comes with everything you need to get flying), then after you've established the strength of your desire to continue (Of course I think you'll be on track to insane addiction levels, like me....but some people don't' take to this hobby as feverishly as I have)....Then, you might decide to get another different RTF plane, or get a proper transmitter, like the NX8, a nice quality charger, and a few more batteries (they're pretty expensive...but good batteries will last, and they are safer), then a BNF plane...and you're STILL under the cost of the iX20 ;) My point is, I'm here to help you make the BEST choices, if you're interested in the help. What's in it for me? I get a small commission from what you buy if you follow our links, and of course, we'll get some add revenue from your watching our videos. So, I could talk you into buying a super expensive, and AWESOME iX20, that you absolutely don't need, and would be totally overwhelmed by (even if money is no object), or I could help turn you into a loyal audience member, and guide you along like so many others have done. I choose the later. I'd rather have your ear when you're ready to move from here to there, and as you have questions that come up. I'm basically your hobby shop...and I DO make some money off your decisions, but it's minuscule for the time I'll spend - I want to grow the hobby for so much more than a few bucks here and there...but want to be honest with you so you can gauge where I'm coming from. iX20 bit.ly/38XUA1I (this is crazy, but it's AWESOME....you don't need it, but if you want it, I'll be jealous of you) iX12 bit.ly/3h8yQmF (amazing, but still WAY overkill for a beginner) NX8 (this will do everything you want to do with Horizon products in the next 5-10 years) bit.ly/2PHllSs NX6 (actually 7 channels and will do 90-95% of what you'll want to do in the next 3-5 years) bit.ly/3eqEn7M There's also an NX10, but I'd SKIP that step and go up to iX12 if you're getting to that level of Transmitter. Here's a short list of beginner planes that will help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

I've only heard the Aeroscout is one of the best, but we're still waiting on ours fro review. It's supposed to be wonderful for learning....but as mentioned above, I want to be transparent with you. Please feel free to ask away too...there's 10,000 more questions you haven't even thought to ask, and we're here to help you along. The WORST part of this hobby is the steep learning curve. We can help you, like we've helped thousands of others. We want you in the hobby, and WILL help you. Good luck!
Okay, that's a great entry level, what I would consider to be "toy grade" airplane, but this thing will still help you learn to fly. If I were you I'd either consider another "toy grade" just to mix things up with another relatively inexpensive plane, or go ahead and make the transition over toward hobby grade choices. They're more expensive, but they're a lot better flying, and you'll really start to get the hang of flying a plane the way more future planes will fly. Forgive my template reply, but it's hard to type this out more than once ;) See below and you'll see where I'm going with it. The "Way Better" list is where you want to be looking, but if your budget precludes you, the "Cheap" will get you by for a while... Here's two sets of options, Cheap (Above) and WAY Better (Below)...

The "Cheap" options, are FUN and really cool too, but you'll LEARN to fly better with the "Loads Better" options. P.S. We'll be here to help you how we can ;) Good luck!!!
nope, but you can get the PNF and BNF...so if you already have Futaba, or Radiomaster (OpenTx), or Orange, or whatever, you can just get the PNF....that being said, you will have better luck with the BNF + NX6 OR NX8... Links are in the description ;)
Thanks Brian and camera crew for what you do always enjoyable and informative Love watching you fly the extra 300 and thinking of getting this over the ultimate for my first 3D plane This will be my fourth starting with apprentice,cirrus and the t28 Trojan Also have my real flight to practice 3D moves
LOL - Old video - LOL ;) It's nice now...we have some footage that didn't come out until just recently, but we filmed it in a gap in HORRIFIC windy weather....this was right at the "end of winter"...now it's getting very green around here!!!
Cool, I am so glad you did a dedicated video to doing 3D aerobatics with the extra!!! Nice dude. I had a 4s 2200 50c pack and I ran it for almost 10 min because I was inverted the whole flight with very little power!!!
Sweet! So cool! These new G2 packs give and give and keep giving, but honestly, the G1 Smart packs are great too ;) Thanks for being here with us VT Croshy!
Out of all my helis jets and other planes, and under 2 yrs of flying, this is still my most intimidating plane. Very touchy super fast response. No this would make a terrible first plane. You are correct! Even rates at 70% it’s a handle full. Good stuff man good flying too.
I flew my friends and found it to be a better sport plane than 3D. I also agree it’s a challenging plane because it doesn’t telegraph stall as much as other planes this size
Brian this is not a 3D plane. They shouldn’t call it 3D. This is a very good big air model. But hovering and high alpha are terrible on it. Now if you want a real 3D machine there are many out there. I love my Xtreme Flight Edges. You would be able to hover it in one spot inches off the ground as long as you like. I think you are ready to step up to some real 3D models.
Interesting. This is the first I'm hearing of it. Now you have me intrigued. I just assume I'm the problem with this plane...but you're saying it isn't???
@@BrianPhillipsRC What he is saying is that the model you have is not very toned for good 3d flying i have flown most E-flight foam 3d planes and IMO they are pretty lousy at 3d i would call them sport planes at most. the Extreme Flight line of ARFs that he mentioned are much better at actual 3d flying and especially XA maneuvers. and for good reason 3d is all they do. There not a company that mass produces products such as horizon hobby. So they actually take the time to make shure there stuff flies right. And in my experience, the quality control and actual manufacturing qualities are superb and they fly absolutely amazing. If i were to recommend an airframe in the 48 or 52" range an extra, edge or the 52 slick 580 are great. However the airframes and recommended electronics are going to cost more. But the saying, you get what you pay for, definitely applies here hope this helps.
You can do it! Takes practice, and when you're a few mistakes high with SAFE, there's so much less risk...but even with SAFE, you gotta make sure you don't end up throwing the motor in Reverse, and freaking out to get to all the switches when and if you have an issue...SAFE won't fix that, so might want to think about making the motor only go forward when in SAFE - just a tip. I need to set this up too.

I have said this in your comments before, only been flying for nine months now and I got one of these about six months ago. I believe it was my fourth plane (had a UMX timber, t-28, leader 480 and a not built e Flite slick 3D (balsa ARF)). This 300 is what taught me how to really fly (trainer planes didn’t teach me anything except orientation help) and greatly sped up the process of learning. It’s extremely snappy, a little heavy for a 3D plane, but a great 3D trainer. I say that because I had 100% rates with about 50% exp, 70% rates with 35% expo and 50% rates with 20% expo (35%on elevator for landing control). A caution though, if you have to flip it into safe in low rates flip it over to full rates right after or you may not get it to turn back to you. When you turn the rates way down it tames the plane a lot. It flys extremely predictable at low rates and holds lines wonderfully. It will float in on landings and the only bad tendency I found it has is if you get to slow and flair to much it will plop on the runway like a brick without warning lol. Awesome plane and early intermediate flyers could fly it and slowly turn the rates up. I personally believe that as far as precision flying goes this is one of the best for $300 on the market. Because of this plane I now fly extreme flight, Pilot RC and Skywing planes . 74” slick, 60” extra, 60” edge, 78” extra 330 gasser. Several EDF jets as well, Rafale and an F18 80mm E Flite are the latest additions. Can’t wait for the 80mm F16 to get here.
Anyone reading this keep in mind (not bragging, but I have picked this up quickly. 30 years in RC buggy racing and switched to planes 9 months ago), but I have a highly accomplished pattern plane flyer locally that has been helping me learn. So all of you that are new like me keep that in mind when reading this lol.
As always, great video Brian.
PS. My friend and I here are about to start up our own RUclips channel. Moto will be “Even a Chris can fly it” lol. I don’t like that name though… haha
Thanks Chris! Sounds like you're a natural!
This is my favourite of your videos. I am amused, amazed, and educated, all at the same time.
I understand what you meant about how the experts fly by intuition, unlike someone like me that needs to see which way the plane is pointing then decide what to do. Luckily someone invented safe technology.
Beautiful plane, beyond my capabilities, but something to aspire towards.
Awesome! Thanks, and glad you're enjoying our videos. Glad you're here with us, and aspire on, but don't forget to make moves toward where you want to be...a little each day, if you can, and it's not that far off - you CAN do it!
Brian you have really been a big help I'm 69 and I still love flying RC airplanes
Maiden this plane today crazy flyer but I used low rates and that was even a little much for me I'm gonna try and fly a spectrum 4s 2200mah 100c for a longer flight time hopefully CG will work out love the videos keep up the great work your always my go to when choosing a plane
Thanks Tyler, and good luck!
I have to say Megan is one of the best camera crew personal videoing on YT. Brian just start flying inverted more and in no time you will feel more comfortable doing 3D. I used to be scared flying inverted, now I fly all my planes inverted with ease. Just start simple flying in circles and figure 8's for most of a pack, and before you no it will feel easy. This is my favorite channel for RC reviews and all around good entertainment. 2nd would have to be the Petrincic Bros RC channel. Thanks and Good Luck.
Thanks for the kind words, and I love the Petrinicic Bros too. If my Brother were into the hobby too, I'd have him doing this with me too ;)
Set this thing up with flaperons and 150% rates. I've landed it bush style like that. Here in Raleigh, the flying field I'm usually flying from is a cratered grassy hellscape for taildraggers. You gotta come in super slow to avoid getting flipped by the longer grass.
So how do you jailbreak your AR631??? ...my understanding is we can't change the settings!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Update the firmware, then factory reset it. That'll unlock the receiver. Set it to adjustable AS3X gains and put them on a slider so you can dial it in while flying.
Brian, I just want you to know that these videos are enjoyable and informative. You are appreciated and needed for people like myself. Please don’t stop doing the radio setup portions, but do slow down there a bit. 😂 sometimes I rewind many times trying to figure out what you just said. BTW, I just purchased this plane from your link along with a Viper. I hope somehow you see that, & know that it’s from this student. ✌🏽
Thanks L Man! We appreciate you buying from the links, it adds up and really help. As far as slowing down on Radio Setup, have you tried clicking the GEAR icon and playback speed to a lower speed? This might help ;) We already have near mutiny over how much we cover as it is, so we kinda gotta go fairly quick, but will go slower on some of the more beginner orientated plane, to help.
Yes Sir I have, no worries though. I get it done. 🤣😂🤣
I’ll just look through the earlier videos to find your basic setup. Then write write it down, and commit it to memory.
This is such a beautiful plane 😍
Sure is!
I got a 2 hour flight experience from my Daughter a few years ago, got to fly a 330 Extra! What a blast! Got to do loops, rolls and some hi G pullouts from some aggressive dives! It really messed with my body. I didn’t feel rite for about 24 hours. The pilot told me the G’s really screwed me up. It also messes with the inner ear which can really effect the way you feel. I didn’t up chuck, which was great!
That's awesome, but I bet I would have puked! I could ride roller coasters as a kid, and now, I look at them and I'm nauseous. Getting old sucks!
I hear ya, I grew up on my family’s boats for over 25 years. Never sea sick ever!! Mom And Dad would put me in the bow of our ski boat as a baby and the minute that Mercury outboard started I was out like a light! LOL, my Brothers and sister would ski like crazy and I sleepy in the bow the whole time. Dad sold the ski boat but returned to the sea (so to speak) when I was 9. We took the US Power Squadron course one winter, it was a cool father/son thing we did one winter. I learned to plot courses navigate by the stars! Very cool, however with today’s GPS that’s old technology I’ll never remember! Ho well it was fun and I was his 1st mate. Could back his 42 ft Christ Craft into its dock space without even touching a pole sometimes! I miss those days.
Man that’s a beautiful plane
It really is! Love the wooden prop!
Very nice follow up. I've been waiting for your 2nd thoughts and you have delivered sir, awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed it! We'll try for more later too.
Ordering this plane tomorrow haven’t flown in 2-3 years can’t wait wish me luck only gonna fly in safe well I get use to flying again lol
Good luck Luke!
Awesome flying Brian ! ! Also gotta shout out to the camera crew - you do an AMAZING job filming.Many other channels don’t capture the plane enough when they try to do reviews . You literally keep the plane in frame the entire time ! Even with low fast passes, the front of the plane never leaves the frame ! Excellent job !
She is very good with it, and we're so lucky she tolerated the demands of the work.
thanks for mentioning it, and I agree whole heartedly, she deserves massive coudos!!!
Thanks for the comment alec brown!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Megan is outstanding! A pleasure to watch your flying as a result.
Some dude at my club is trying to manufacture inexpensive racers to replace the sky angel rare bear and he brought some out to use on our clubs 3pylon pole race and they were really similar in speed and performance to the rear bear
Interesting!
Love you'r idea on using a foam shim on the battery instead of velcro.
Thanks!
You handled it well . I tried some 3Ds on the simulator .....it wasn't good .
Thanks, but I know I need to keep working at it ;)
I love your non 3d flier point of view. LOL
I loooovvvee low and slow. upside down. keep at it and dont be afraid to crash. Safe has become obsolete to me besides losing visual.
I usually set all throws to max with expo. Big batteries as far back as I can so it'll stall itself. Definitely interested in this model. The Sukhoi SU-29MM 1.1m gen 2 is still my favorite plane Ive ever owned out of at least 10 eflite models.
I never had the Sukhoi, but I heard it was amazing!
Very entertaining ;-) Awesome flight and another great plane. Probably the Greatest Plane EVER!!!! Hehehe..too much fun! See you in the Air!
Glad you enjoyed it!!! So many awesome planes, I don't usually pull out the "Best plane every" - I don't want the OTHER planes to get jealous ;) LOL!
Brian I have been scouring the web looking for an answer. I should have just came here and asked you.What bigger size battery will fit in the extra 300. I am trying to upgrade to 4s 4000 30c or 4s 5000 ,but Idk if they will fit before I buy. Also the cg is always off when I flip it upside down to check cg. I have 3s 2200 and 3s 3200 smart packs .I watched your 1st video and maybe I’m doing it wrong but can you help clarify battery and cg. Also I have a hard case 3s 5000 50c reaction pack for my race buggy would this even work I put the battery in and it does fit ?? If you could do a 3rd video this would be awesome. “Battery upgrades and CG explanations “ as the title,Your viewers would appreciate and give lots of thumbs up I bet !!!
I would be amazed if anything close to that size would fit. Most 3D planes fly a bit tail heavy, so you probably want to keep the battery fairly small too, so it's light on it's feet.
Mark the CG at the recommended points (in the manual / video) then put your battery in... now balance the plane, or attempt to balance the plane on the marks, and each spot between the marks. When you're done flying...note if you liked the way it flew, or if you didn't. It's a highly subjective thing, especially on a 3D plane. YOU have to make the call where you want it. Some people will need it to be fairly nose heavy so the plane is pretty stable in "sport" flying (just putting around and doing some light aerobatics) while 3D pilots will want the plane to fly totally different, with a fairly tail heavy setup...this means the CG marks will stay where it is on the wing, but you'll be moving the point where the plane balances forward of those marks.
CG is a basic of flight, but when you're doing 3D it's all goofy...you WANT the plane to fly kinda weird to help with some hammerhead style maneuvers...but this makes the elevator super-duper touchy...so you need to be extra skilled or use a ton of expo to help reduce porpoising of the plane.
I Speaking of Dynam, I (and others I suspect) would love to see a review of the Dynam F4F Hellcat. Same size class as the FW-190 and the only one out there that isn't too big and too expensive for us smaller budget enthusiasts. It looks gorgeous on the Bitgohobby website, and sounds like it's a really good flyer. It would be a great build/review.
I will do it, when they send it. We have a few planes in queue, so please understand that even if they shipped it tomorrow, we wouldn't have footage ready for a few weeks at the fastest.
We don't want you to get the wrong idea; we're not ignoring your request, it just takes time for everything to happen. We have some scheduling issues to work around, namely Mother Nature, and previously recorded footage, that's ready to publish and sitting ready.
@@BrianPhillipsRC No problem Brian. I'll look forward to it!
Give yourself some credit! You are far too modest. I watch your channel because of the great dynamic duo you and your camera crew are, the great flying, and the suspense when you have to fly evasively because the lvc activates. Lol
Thanks Kevin! Walking the line for worlds best audience ;)
Another great video Brian! Camera crew always does a great job keeping the plane in sight as well! I’m gonna go broke watching your videos, makes me wanna buy all the planes you review. I’m debating on getting a extra 300 or a carbon z cub Ss 2.1m can’t make up my mind
LOL - Nice!!!! Glad you're here with us Randy ;) So many good choices right now, it's hard not to get excited about these sweet planes!
I am 15 years old and this was my 3e plane and I still have it because it flies great it has al lot of power i fly it with Hacker 3800mah 25 cc 4s lipo and i love this plane.
If you have room over in the hobby room go buy this plane is a lot of fun for the beginners and the pro flyers.
Nice video Brian and Nice review about this plane.
Have a Nice day
Thanks Yme. You, have a nice day too!
Do you prefer this or the new arrows edge 540?
Thank you so much. New subscriber!!
It's been a while, and we're about to review the V2 of the Extra 300, so can I defer till then? It'll be pretty quick, and don't want to leave you hanging...but I can't remember my experience with the Extra 300, so I'd be somewhat unfair to it, vs the very good Edge 540...
Hope you understand where I'm coming from.
I just joined my local fields within a 3 min and 6min of my house but they are both grass fields. I been eyeing up this and the ultimate biplane. But the rear wheels on those models look like they will be problematic with the grass take offs. Is that something to worry about. If so I’ll wait on those and get the crescendo. The fields are long but also longer grass every time I been so far
I doubt the tail wheels will give you any issue BUT, I bet the wheel pants might. You can take all that off, if you wish.
So compared to the E-flight ultimate 3d plane what is more forgiving for an intermediate pilot?
The Extra 300 is a bit "easier".
You’ve probably been asked this before, but the new Draco plane, are you and if yes when are you going to be testing it out?
Yes, and here's the stock reply....
P.S. April 23, 2021 - keep your eye's peeled ;)
My stock reply, fyi...
We have the Draco now, BUT we aren't allowed to review yet. This is not our choice. We will ABSOLUTELY BE REVIEWING IT ASAP! Please understand, our hands are tied...We can't even publish photos :(....

Hi Brian. This question is unrelated to the Extra 300 video, but entirely relevant to your income! I want a B25 and did not find a review of one on your channel so don’t have a link to purchase one that would attribute back to you. So, do you have a link to a B25 that you like, or a long to Banana or one of the other suppliers that I can use to contribute to the construction of your runway? Don’t you just year to own the airplane that the Doolittle raiders used to put the hurt Imperial Japan? When you watch Pearl Harbor (yeah, I know its dramatized), doesn’t that make you want to mark out a scale carrier on your driveway and see if you can make it happen??? Oh yeah, you know you do. So help me out. Which B25 do you suggest. And I’ll be settling it up with a Spektrum receiver so I can get all the NX8 power into it.
Thank you for thinking of us for the B25. We're very flattered that you're going out of your way to ask.
We don't currently have any links with Banana Hobby, but if we get into a relationship with them, we will make sure to share this link with you Bendrix.
Thanks again for thinking of this, and it really does help us!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC you have my 100% support! Do you have an opinion of any of the Banana models? If I get one I’ll set it up with Spektrum SMART receiver, esc. I really like those flight modes.
When I started flying last year, I said out loud that I was happy just flying around, and that 3d wasnt for me..... then I got a Timber X, and an ultimate 3d.... this 300 also looks appealing.... damn this hobby is addictive....
😆😆 welcome to the club ... lol
LOL - Never say never, right???
@@BrianPhillipsRC 8 months ago I bought a plane.....now I have 9.....lol
When do I get to see you fly that new Drayco? I'm wanting one. They look bad ass but I wont know till you tell me.

We have the Draco now, BUT we aren't allowed to review yet. This is not our choice. We will ABSOLUTELY BE REVIEWING IT ASAP! Please understand, our hands are tied...We can't even publish photos :(....
All I can say, is if you decide to buy anything from us in the mean time, just follow the "Master Link"...and you can navigate to whatever you decide you can't live without, or any of the other links below too.

Hey Brian. Great flying as usual. Two questions. Is that 2200mah. all the way to the front./// And second. What would the flight time be on that 2200 if you flew less aggressivey. Let me know please. This will be my next airplane. THANKS Brother.
It's a 3D plane, but I suppose you COULD fly less aggressively. Maybe a minute better flight times?
As for the location of the flight pack, I'd be 100% lying if I said I could remember - sorry!!!
Hey Brian when will you be doing that rc draco
We aren't allowed to even post a picture until April 23rd...so at 10 AM on April 23rd...
Stock reply below, in the mean time, for you Sue ;)

He man you have helped me so much in my start with rc. I was wondering if you could help me out with this cuestión?. I’m from a small town in PA in the Northampton aria. There is like one club out here I think. But my question is I’m in college and I herd you need to pay a membership to fly at a flying field. Can you fly in one with out paying or like a day pass? Or should I not worry about it and just fly even edfs when I get to them in my local baseball field?
Nick I am I have learned from a ton Brian’s videos. I live in Western PA west of Pittsburgh and all I can say is look and meet people from the flying fields Out this way you can fly at a club three or four times as a guest then you can decide if you want to join or not.
@@roblongerman8148 thanks man I will try and get out there Sins this is a small town I wouldn’t be surprised if I already know 1 or 2 of them.
Nick - sounds like Rob might have given you some advice ;)
My thing was to fly small planes at large, open spaces. It's kinda questionable. If you can get permission, or get away with it, you just need to make sure you're doing your best to follow the "Know before you fly" rules, or can get by without having issues... some areas are WAY worse than others. I used to fly in my neighborhood, but I was on our board of directors in the HOA, and we knew almost EVERYONE. It was a thing, and we were the second people on our street and the longest tenured home owners on the block, so people just kinda let us do out thing. Some were less favorable to the idea, but the rest hushed them since we had good relationships with them. We also flew out planes across the main road, about 5 minute drive to a community college with a large parking lot. Later another parking lot that was close by got adapted by an AMA flying site. This is a big challenge for a new RC pilot.
Here's my take...
If you can keep it below 250grams, (like some UMX planes from Horizon Hobby) then you technically are below the weight threshold for the FAA "Drone Registry" so you can fly wherever you want, essentially....but don't piss off the neighbors, since they're too dumb to know the rules.
Find an AMA field if you want to pick up on tip and tricks from the locals, but buyer be ware, it's not always a warm place to be...you will find some of the best and worst of the hobby at these fields. You have to get in there and find someone who will work with you...if you don't, or they're all A-holes - leave and never come back, it will ruin the hobby for you. You gotta make sure they're going to treat you like they should - a future flyer, not a pia.
I will help you, as I've done for hundreds or thousands of people like you, but I can only do so much thousands of miles away from you.
Keep interested, and start thinking about your first plane. I can help you with that too.
Good luck!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you so much man it means a lot that you would take the time to right this out for me 💪🏽❤️. What’s amazing is that having a casual convo with one of my favorite Professors at college we I found out that he is an rc hobbyists as well and he told me to call him when I wanted to go out to the field, so he can introduce me to some of his friends. And he said they have a lot of diversity from kids to people of different nationalities, witch makes me feel a lot more at ease because i mite not feel left out. He told me Tuesday’s or training days so you will find people with there high wing tundras. And get this it’s 25$ for a year worth of training every Tuesday!!!! And 50 per month to be a member with is a little high because you also need your insurance from the Association which is another 50. So I don’t know if becoming a member is viable at the moment that’s a fat 100 every month but at least there’s a place to go it’s pretty close. I didn’t even know but it was hidden in plane site just down the road from a local hobby shop called Trains and Liens.
Cornhole is life😉
LOL
motor so powerful don' need wings.....but with the wings it glides pretty well.
LOL - she sure does! I was thrilled with how easy she'll land, but it's almost TOO easy - LOL
Brian, do you fly with SAFE or "pure" without gyro help most of the time? :)
I fly without SAFE, but AS3X is pretty much always active on BNF planes. If you get PNF, you can turn off the stabilization (AS3X).
But to answer your question... I FAR prefer stabilization over not...even when not necessary.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you, my Friend! I learn a lot from you 👍
The hrb 4s 2600mah is a perfect fit on my extra 300! (Amazon for $30 each, or $54 for 2). Gotta change the connections tho.
Or make or get adapters. I don't want to chop these ends off and lose the possibility of the smart connection in the future, but I used to do that ALL the time too.
I just got this thing last week and put a few flights on it with a 3200mah smart pack. And DAMN this plane is crazy, totally gives me butterflies being a very intermediate pilot
Also just got a havoc today and im scared s#!%less to fly it tomorrow.
@@zacharynevarez2997 did them 3200 4s spektrum fit easily in the battery bay?
Brain did ya every get the cargo plane worked out was going to get one you help me good in so many was thank you, sorry ta hear about ya hitting your mail box,but the way ya said it is good anyway..
The EC1500? I got it worked out. Not sure what you're talking about with hitting a mailbox? Were you talking to someone else???
So I just bought this plane, and I flew my Lectron Pro 4s 3000mah 30c (battery) and my battery was at 20-25% after a 2 1/2 min flight (just cruising) how come you got a 5min plus flight? Spectrum battery? Cause you used a 50c battery?
Thanks, really appreciate you
3D planes suck power if you let them? Not sure why your battery only lasted that long. We've had real good luck with the SMART packs, but since they're sometimes 2X the price of other options, a lot of people won't even try one out...but I can tell you that unless you're using them in "Battery Eaters" (Planes that kill batteries, like the Eflite F-18 80mm, for example) they will outlast most packs and give great flight times, and then you can neglect them and never discharge a single pack, EVER ;) My type of battery!
Well it depends what YOUR cruising is! That might be 2/3-3/4 throttle the whole time! Also your packs might be old?
Nice ✈
Thanks ✌
Hey Brian do you think a ix20 would make a good first transmitter
If money is no object, this would be an AMAZING choice, but if you're like most other RC enthusiast you could probably get an NX8 and do 99% of what you'll need from a transmitter over the next 5-10 years (if working within the DSMX protocol AKA Horizon Hobby gear and there are some off brand / knock off stuff in the DSM2/DSMX protocol)
I want you to be satisfied, but I'm not gonna try to trick you into getting a $2000 transmitter - even though I think you'd be the envy of most RC clubs...it's just not that common. What if you buy this ix20 and then get your first plane and hate doing it, and quit? That would be crappy! My alternative recommendation would be to use your money slightly different, and consider buying a RTF (Ready to fly...comes with everything you need to get flying), then after you've established the strength of your desire to continue (Of course I think you'll be on track to insane addiction levels, like me....but some people don't' take to this hobby as feverishly as I have)....Then, you might decide to get another different RTF plane, or get a proper transmitter, like the NX8, a nice quality charger, and a few more batteries (they're pretty expensive...but good batteries will last, and they are safer), then a BNF plane...and you're STILL under the cost of the iX20 ;) My point is, I'm here to help you make the BEST choices, if you're interested in the help.
What's in it for me? I get a small commission from what you buy if you follow our links, and of course, we'll get some add revenue from your watching our videos. So, I could talk you into buying a super expensive, and AWESOME iX20, that you absolutely don't need, and would be totally overwhelmed by (even if money is no object), or I could help turn you into a loyal audience member, and guide you along like so many others have done. I choose the later. I'd rather have your ear when you're ready to move from here to there, and as you have questions that come up. I'm basically your hobby shop...and I DO make some money off your decisions, but it's minuscule for the time I'll spend - I want to grow the hobby for so much more than a few bucks here and there...but want to be honest with you so you can gauge where I'm coming from.
iX20 bit.ly/38XUA1I (this is crazy, but it's AWESOME....you don't need it, but if you want it, I'll be jealous of you)
iX12 bit.ly/3h8yQmF (amazing, but still WAY overkill for a beginner)
NX8 (this will do everything you want to do with Horizon products in the next 5-10 years) bit.ly/2PHllSs
NX6 (actually 7 channels and will do 90-95% of what you'll want to do in the next 3-5 years) bit.ly/3eqEn7M
There's also an NX10, but I'd SKIP that step and go up to iX12 if you're getting to that level of Transmitter.
Here's a short list of beginner planes that will help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

All good planes, but I'd put you into the Sport Cub S2 UMX, or the Apprentice 1.5m RTF to start. I've only heard the Aeroscout is one of the best, but we're still waiting on ours fro review. It's supposed to be wonderful for learning....but as mentioned above, I want to be transparent with you.

Good luck!
Hey Brian I’m just getting into the hobby I have a volantex sport cub 500 what would you recommend for a second rtf plane?
Okay, that's a great entry level, what I would consider to be "toy grade" airplane, but this thing will still help you learn to fly. If I were you I'd either consider another "toy grade" just to mix things up with another relatively inexpensive plane, or go ahead and make the transition over toward hobby grade choices. They're more expensive, but they're a lot better flying, and you'll really start to get the hang of flying a plane the way more future planes will fly.
Forgive my template reply, but it's hard to type this out more than once ;) See below and you'll see where I'm going with it. The "Way Better" list is where you want to be looking, but if your budget precludes you, the "Cheap" will get you by for a while...

With the "WAY Better", you'll be in it for more cash, but you're going to have a higher probability of success, which means you may WASTE less cash overall. When you're new, you want the BEST, which sounds kinda weird, but it's TOTALLY 100% right on - let me know in a year, if I was right ;) I only know from personal experience, and hundreds, if not thousands, of people's feedback. The "Cheap" options, are FUN and really cool too, but you'll LEARN to fly better with the "Loads Better" options.
P.S. We'll be here to help you how we can ;) Good luck!!!
I have this plane Brian it is a beast try the master air screw 13 x 12 high-speed drone prop on this plane and it will blow your mind
I love the prop on this plane thought...
Awesome plane Brian does it come rtf
nope, but you can get the PNF and BNF...so if you already have Futaba, or Radiomaster (OpenTx), or Orange, or whatever, you can just get the PNF....that being said, you will have better luck with the BNF + NX6 OR NX8...
Links are in the description ;)
It makes more sense that it’s a 3 min flight timer, it really neat you could go much much longer than 3 min 😱
For sure!
Thanks Brian and camera crew for what you do always enjoyable and informative
Love watching you fly the extra 300 and thinking of getting this over the ultimate for my first 3D plane
This will be my fourth starting with apprentice,cirrus and the t28 Trojan
Also have my real flight to practice 3D moves
Our pleasure! Thanks Brian! This is a very good plane, and it'll do for an intro to 3D, but I'm just not very good at 3D, full disclosure ;)
I like that one
It's pretty good.
Alot off power. 🤓👌
true
what should i set the expo at, i am a beginner, also what hole should the servo arm be placed for aileron, rudder and elevator
That scared me because it is good looking
I can hear your wallet cracking open from here!!!! ;)
How long is that snow gonna be there? lol
LOL - Old video - LOL ;) It's nice now...we have some footage that didn't come out until just recently, but we filmed it in a gap in HORRIFIC windy weather....this was right at the "end of winter"...now it's getting very green around here!!!
Very bery good...beautiful plane Brian...
Sure is!
Great video as always thank you guys👍👍✈️
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching Rob!
Cool, I am so glad you did a dedicated video to doing 3D aerobatics with the extra!!! Nice dude. I had a 4s 2200 50c pack and I ran it for almost 10 min because I was inverted the whole flight with very little power!!!
Sweet! So cool! These new G2 packs give and give and keep giving, but honestly, the G1 Smart packs are great too ;)
Thanks for being here with us VT Croshy!
Is that a Drone or Plane?
LOL - depends on who you ask - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC 🤣😅
Should order yourself an extreme flight 48” extra. If you think that flies good. The extreme flight will blow ur mind.
Humm.....thinking
@@BrianPhillipsRC LOL do it. Trust me I have lots of horizon foamies and my Pilot rc and extreme flight airplanes are just next level!! Blow ur mind
@@BrianPhillipsRC start with the extreme flight extra V2 48” or 51”
2nd'd I love my Velox 52 - You won't go back to foam except for practicing down low
@@tyrantworm yes agree, some foamies have their place but it’s crazy the flight difference in a well made balsa/carbon and covered airframe is
Out of all my helis jets and other planes, and under 2 yrs of flying, this is still my most intimidating plane. Very touchy super fast response. No this would make a terrible first plane. You are correct! Even rates at 70% it’s a handle full. Good stuff man good flying too.
Yep, but you can tame her with some high expo and low rates ;)
On the limits flying . Good and very nice.
Thanks 👍
I'd love to see a second thoughts on the 1.3m Valiant, and a 3rd thoughts on the Extra 300 because it looks so fun. Great video as always guys.
We'll work them in. The second thoughts are so much easier to do when we have good weather, and some vacation ;)
I flew my friends and found it to be a better sport plane than 3D. I also agree it’s a challenging plane because it doesn’t telegraph stall as much as other planes this size
They sneek up on you FAST, but it will fly super slow!
Great extra video!
Glad you enjoyed it - I still feel like I have a long ways to go with 3D flying ;)
Brian this is not a 3D plane. They shouldn’t call it 3D. This is a very good big air model. But hovering and high alpha are terrible on it. Now if you want a real 3D machine there are many out there. I love my Xtreme Flight Edges. You would be able to hover it in one spot inches off the ground as long as you like. I think you are ready to step up to some real 3D models.
Interesting. This is the first I'm hearing of it. Now you have me intrigued. I just assume I'm the problem with this plane...but you're saying it isn't???
@@BrianPhillipsRC What he is saying is that the model you have is not very toned for good 3d flying i have flown most E-flight foam 3d planes and IMO they are pretty lousy at 3d i would call them sport planes at most. the Extreme Flight line of ARFs that he mentioned are much better at actual 3d flying and especially XA maneuvers. and for good reason 3d is all they do. There not a company that mass produces products such as horizon hobby. So they actually take the time to make shure there stuff flies right. And in my experience, the quality control and actual manufacturing qualities are superb and they fly absolutely amazing. If i were to recommend an airframe in the 48 or 52" range an extra, edge or the 52 slick 580 are great. However the airframes and recommended electronics are going to cost more. But the saying, you get what you pay for, definitely applies here hope this helps.
Flys on rails
sure does!
This is ironic as I'm challenging myself with stunt planes 3d Ultimate, Timber x and Valiant 3d is fun great video 😉👍🛩
You can do it! Takes practice, and when you're a few mistakes high with SAFE, there's so much less risk...but even with SAFE, you gotta make sure you don't end up throwing the motor in Reverse, and freaking out to get to all the switches when and if you have an issue...SAFE won't fix that, so might want to think about making the motor only go forward when in SAFE - just a tip. I need to set this up too.
👍
thanks!
Cameracrew , you are getting better and better with your zoom experiance ......

You are too far from the mic, can hear you
No mics on this one, sorry! It was a rush job ;) This was a special situation....we try NOT to do this much anymore.
Hey Brian!! Just wanted to get the first comment in ha ha ha!!
Cool, thanks!!!
Definitely the ''Corn hole'' effect. You never have any authority on that one. Just stay elevated.
LOL!!!!
Those HUGE SURFACES! Insert trump meme LMAO
UUUUUUUGE

LOL - thanks Clay!
