@@TwoBrosRCI just started flying in April and thanks to you I now own 15+ planes😂 but I've progressed from not being able to fly without safe to now doing high alpha with planes that aren't supposed to (futura).

I am so thank full for your knowledge thanks again TwoBrosRC.
Haha, happy to help there Thomas! Our affiliate links probably don't work in the UK, but if you ever feel the need to hit that Super Thanks button, we'd absolutely appreciate it!
That was crazy! Your skill level in such a short amount of time has skyrocketed. In a short amount of time, you have become as good as most Demo team pilots. Thrust vectoring is awesome. I have the Sky Flight Hobby Super Mig 29 twin 70mm 360 thrust vectoring EDF Jet. It does some wild stuff when you put the nozzles in opposite directions. If you love single nozzle vectoring you will love duel nozzle thrust vectoring.
If you can pick it up via the links in the description, that would be a huge help to us! Hope you enjoy, and don't be afraid to ask for help with setup on Discord!
You've absolutely nailed this review. I wasn't impressed with the standard 6S performance against the 90mm Viper. I then added the TV unit, and it was too much for me. I planned to try the 8S setup, but ive now sold it, as its not how i want to fly. Great awesome and accurate review.
Thanks dude! It's definitely a tossup between the 6 and 8 cell system. The 6 cell setup is great, but the 8 cell setup is heavier - with more thrust, yet only minimal handling differences between them. Hardly like the Viper 90 which felt sluggish on 8 cells due to all the weight it was carrying.
@TwoBrosRC My Viper currently has the 8S fan that was meant for the Avanti. I will be putting the Viper back to 6S though, as I prefer the lighter setup in her.
I’m new to your channel. Actually found you searching for AS3X set up and advanced forward programming. Wow you cover a ton of technical info and I love it ❤. I have several thrust vectored jets including a non vectored FW Avanti. The FMS with TV is my next purchase. Thanks for making a great channel 😊
Welcome aboard, and thank you! We try to be impartial and avoid biases as much as possible. Sticking to showing what a plane is truly capable of while going over a 25 point system designed to tell you specifically what it does and does not have (per class of aircraft of course) should be a fair way to judge these things.
The sound the ducted fan makes is awesome and seems to me more like the sound of a real jet’s engine than that produced by a jet engine built to this model’s scale.
I was on the fence because I was like, meh, another avanti, so i was waiting for a two brothers video of course, but I was curious about the thrust vectoring. I am going to get the 8 cell motor also. Awesome video and presentation as always Jon.
Thanks for the support, John! It means a lot. Every purchase from our links keeps this channel running and makes it possible for us to do things like this. Cheers!
Gyros are more necessary than people will admit. Can’t wait for your 90mm F-16 review. Let me guess how it starts off. Freewing finally got it right on their 5th iteration….
@@TwoBrosRCAfter two crashes, I've made several mods to my V3 which I deemed necessary for it's long term survival and to give it proper flight characteristics. She is considerably heavier than stock. I have a feeling that this V2 90MM has to be flown 8S and with light packs. I will get one as soon as I finish sucking the life out of my V3 70mm.
Great video as always. I wish you guys would believe a lot of us like to fly our jets fast and we'd love to see more fast flying/passes, speed tests etc. We don't all just fly high alpha and flipping all the time.
Hey man, thanks for the feedback! Apologies if this next bit comes out curt or disrespectful - it isn't intended to and we hope you don't take it that way: That's the nice thing about RUclips - there's other channels which focus on other things and have priorities that are different than us. Our priority has never been "speed tests" because we don't care about ground speed on an airplane. We focus on a few things: A) A 25 point review system that covers exactly what you can expect to get from a plane you purchase, regardless of whether you use our affiliate links or buy it after considering it from someone else's content. B) How agile the airframe is at all speeds, primarily the low speeds. We focus on this because airplanes go fast by nature, and if it can't fly in a circle or hit at least 50 MPH, it's not much of an airplane.
Great review John, you just made deciding on my next jet all the more complicated. Which do you like more, the FW F-22 (90mm) or this FMS Avanti with TV? Thx
We love 'em both for different reasons. The F-22 is... an F-22. You can't really beat it. Avanti does things it can't do, though. If the F-22 had a TV unit like it should, it would be a much closer comparison.
I'm thinking about getting this as my 3rd jet. Umx, trainer Habu. I've got it bad for this jet. I'm going to ask the wife for this one at for Christmas.
Really nice, falling in love with this jet when seeing this video! This is what I want to do with a jet too :-): Question: I'm flying with a Futaba T14SG, will it be possible to fly this plane with TV as well, or is a Spectrum needed any way for being able to do all this (TV, 2° Gyro etc)? Thanks on advance, keep up doing this 🙂
Thx. Other question, and this is really the only disadvantage that keeps me away from buyng this plane: how good are the landing gears , is this a good plane for landing on grass fields as well? I read a lot that FMS landing gear systems are not the best, and are damaged quite fast?
The gyro was slightly *over*-tuned. The settings we flew were 60 roll, but recommended 50 roll for you guys to help smooth it out a little more and avoid that bounceback. Good eye!
@@TwoBrosRC It had to be something like that, or a structural issue, but seeing how the jet held up in those thrust vectoring moves, something being loose/floppy seemed highly unlikely. Good to see the correction to the settings has already been applied in the gyro setup overview.
Hi Jon, great flight performance 🙂. I just have a question regardung the TV installation. You use 2 seperate channel (fElev and Rud) for the Thrust Vector unit with corresponding gyro functionality? Thanks for your answer in advance Oliver
It would be cool to review the FRsky radio. X20 RS or Pro. I heard they are awesome Radios packed with options and insane range, and with IRX4 Lite module works great with Spektrum and Futaba and 100 others !!
Hi Jon, I bought this amazing jet trust vector version two weeks ago. i tested it this weekend and i have to say that it is really nice to fly with this jet. I was not able to do the high alpha flight that you show in the video. can you give me some advice? Iuse a 3 axis gyro. with which setup do you fly? thanks fabio
Use the gyro settings mentioned in the video, and join Discord via discord.gg/twobrosrc and check the #spektrum-radio-setups channel for the setup file. This jet'll do it when it's set up like ours is.
@@TwoBrosRC horizon contractually made it easy for themselves to be the "mainstream vendor" for FMS via large quantity shipments a few years back. They order large quantities of FMS products in order to retail them close to factory-direct pricing. Also FMS manufactures E-Flite planes as part of that agreement, I believe, which is a Horizon brand. While Horizon may or may not sell this model at this time, I definitely started associating FMS with Horizon about 3 years ago.
@@TwoBrosRC, Hello Jon, first thanks for the proper credit in your video. The Horizon factor is FMS is a proprietary brand of Horizon Hobby. Jason Merkle of Horizon Hobby has made statements to this in RC Groups posts. Here is a link to Wikipedia showing their proprietary brands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_Hobby
@@DesertFoxProductions Sorry about not asking ya first, but hopefully the shout-out can get some of our audience to check out your great content! HH did come out and clarify that FMS is not a brand they own though, just to clear that up.
As noob to using gyros in planes, I have to ask… 😅😅 Are you using normal “rate mode” when the gyro is enabled or some “level lock” mode? (kind of how the heading lock mode in heli gyros work, but for each of the 3 flight axes, roll, pitch and yaw)
Well any jet can do tricks with thrust vector & has the thrust to climb. Question, why do the CG upside down? If jet flies normal most of the time? Been doing my cg normal & landing gear up.
@TwoBrosRC relax John I wasn't attacking you, just a question. Just noticed that people getting into RC in the last couple years Go towards ELRS instead of spektrum.
@TwoBrosRC you're right, I'm truly someone who can't understand tone. It's good we have choices. Insane flying, I can't even fathom making a jet do that.
Yes, but only with thrust vectoring. And we say this as a channel whose logo is the Viper 90 flying a high alpha pass. If the Viper had TV, we'd see a real battle of aerobatic prowess.
My 8s was just too heavy with TV. The lipos needed to CG is jusy too much. More weight than thrust and a heavy character. Im settled on 7s on the stock edf and means I can use any 6s that I may have left over whilst at the field. Such a shame more manufacturers dont bring out a TV option on their jets.
Can't say we experienced it being too heavy. It flew great on TV with 8 and 6 cells. The difference was only perceptible in post-stall maneuvering, and only then during flat spins or other tumble maneuvers.
@TwoBrosRC I'm suprised you didn't notice the extra weight as you are the guy who loves lightness and agility. The 8s fans extra 220g and extra 250g bump from 6s to 8s just wasn't welcome for me on this jet.
Just didn't feel it this time. It was quite odd. Something about the design of this jet makes it less noticeable. Probably the TV system - because without it the jet would most likely lumber around on 8 cells.
Thrust vectoring will require an extra 2 channels on the receiver? Basically, a 10 channel to include thrust reverse? Asking because I've never had a TV model before.
Yes, hence why we're recommending the AR10360T - plus the multi-gyro setup on that particular receiver. Links are all in the description, but definitely hop on Discord and ask for help. We'll gladly guide you through it.
I’m sure the answer is yes, but does the thrust vector have an activate and do activate switch? In case i want to fly without using it half the flight and then activate on the other half? Or is the thrust vector always on while flying and can’t be turned off?
Jon im used to having a flight mode with adjustable gains on the Rknob. Im going to try the throttle based gains you use. Have you got a set up where you can still have a flight mode where you can still adjust gain on the fly by the Rknob? Ps where is your 2nd gyro installed? Thanks
Assign an open channel to the knob, then assign that channel in Forward Programming for the gain. For more info, join up on Discord and ask for help in the #tech-and-setup channel via bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
Oh I know how to use Rknob for adjustable gains. It's how I set up all my planes on FM3. Just wondering if you had a FM like I do but also a FM with throttle based gains too?
The ESC is rated for 8 cells. All you need is the motor linked in the description. The Avanti outperforms Gripen because it was designed as a sport jet.

Happy to help! Don't forget there's comparisons between 6 and 8 cells too. ;)
Double back-flip! Holy crap! Then a triple back-flips! wow Thrust vectoring is amazing with a as3x+
It's not even the same jet with vectoring. It looks similar, but it's so much better in every way that matters. FMS crushed this release.

Thrust vectoring will require an extra 2 channels on the receiver? Basically, a 10 channel to include thrust reverse? Asking because I've never had a TV model before.
Yes, hence why we're recommending the AR10360T - plus the multi-gyro setup on that particular receiver. Links are all in the description, but definitely hop on Discord and ask for help. We'll gladly guide you through it.
I’m sure the answer is yes, but does the thrust vector have an activate and do activate switch? In case i want to fly without using it half the flight and then activate on the other half?
Or is the thrust vector always on while flying and can’t be turned off?
The setup we posted on Discord has a switch controlling the TV system.
Jon im used to having a flight mode with adjustable gains on the Rknob. Im going to try the throttle based gains you use. Have you got a set up where you can still have a flight mode where you can still adjust gain on the fly by the Rknob? Ps where is your 2nd gyro installed? Thanks
Assign an open channel to the knob, then assign that channel in Forward Programming for the gain. For more info, join up on Discord and ask for help in the #tech-and-setup channel via bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
Oh I know how to use Rknob for adjustable gains. It's how I set up all my planes on FM3. Just wondering if you had a FM like I do but also a FM with throttle based gains too?
Flight modes in the receiver don't recognize mixes, the mix is always active for our setup.
Quick question, is the foam the same density as the FMS Integral?
Pretty much. All the 80 and 90mm FMS jets are similar in that regard.
@@TwoBrosRC Thanks. The integral really has me taking a hard look at other FMS EDF’s for this exact reason.
I wonder if the thrust vectoring can be used on the viper 90?
Unfortunately not without serious mods. You'd be better off using a third party TV nozzle.
Hello, if I upgrade to 8S ,do I need to upgrade the ESC or just the EDF motor? How is the Avanti 3D performance compared to freewing gripen 80mm?
The ESC is rated for 8 cells. All you need is the motor linked in the description. The Avanti outperforms Gripen because it was designed as a sport jet.
+3 points for using "asunder" in a sentence in 2024...
Weird, I just posted a reaction and small donation but don't see it?
That's strange, definitely didn't come through on our side. Consider trying again maybe? Thank you!
Now hover it. I've hovered the old 90mm Eurofighter.
Will the Grippen hover?
2:37 and yes Gripen hovers, it's covered here: ruclips.net/video/c69ZDEQJt_Y/видео.html
Abnormal and unusual operation.
That's why it's fun!
Woww as3x+ 80 on pitch gain 🤪 serious?!
Yeah. Why?
@TwoBrosRC I don't now how to tune the pitch gain, I'm afraid to put it higher as default 😂
Lower…

Thrust vectoring does nothing for me.
🆗
Thanks
Thank you! 🧡
