@@A.M.-RC yeah a mini blue maule m7 is def a good looker. Fms did a good job on the big one, if I get one I’ll have to put thicker gears on it and stretch them out some
@@lewiemotorsports3616 not gonna lie, I started looking at them, they really look good. Still prefer the Eflite red version but that's discontinued, I might just need to get one 😄
@@A.M.-RC I swear all the good stuff from e flite sells out so fast it’s ridiculous.. only thing in hobby stores by them is that sr71 .. does the fms version come with reflex?
Concerning elevator, I guess you want to detach the clevis and then move the control surface up and down a couple of times to reduce the resistance of the foam hinge. I could imagine, that this doesn‘t work well on EPO even when pinched. Please, pick up on this maybe in the flight video and if or how you got it to work. And also if you had to increase the throws. I agree with you that it does look according to the price and also, that this doesn‘t play a role, once it is flying! My TT Evo looks pretty bad and beaten up on the ground, but shines like a star when flying. Very curious on your maiden. 😊👍🏻
Great suggestion, didn't think about it. I think I will try to fly it as is then adjust what is needed and try again. QC probably isn't the best given the price and this can be important for a beginner, the manual doesn't have info on how to center control surfaces, etc. Might even do a setup video to help beginners.
Luck for me i used wiring chart provided and realized they had 1 wire plugged in the wrong port and fixed that before i plugged in the lights and ailerons on the wing..lucky for me i had some nice tweezers...if not it would have been an all day job...lol
Looks nice , is it like my Skylark where you switch into Gyro - Stab mode and then Stunt mode for aerobatics, I like this setup makes model really controllable and safe. Rob
Not bad for the money! I think all the micros suffer from the same thing due to their size, but this could be a fun little bird to keep in the car. Liked and subbed!
Nice detailed look bud hope it flys good ❤❤❤i have been amazed at what i have been able to purchase for under 50 buckos and may be tempted into doing a 50 to 100 bucko series ❤❤❤❤waiting for flight bud ❤❤❤
I hope it will, waiting for good weather, hopefully tomorrow. I've been tempted by the mini warbirds for ages but the brushed motors and crappy transmitters put me off, but if I find a good deal I would get the T-28 at least.
@@A.M.-RC yeah I know what you mean bud but some of them come with the option to add ya own rx and use ya own radio or they sell them bnf no radio so you buy one rtf and the rest bnf so only 1 crap radio instead of 5 haha. I managed to get 2 for 50 or just over 50 bucks on one of their deals. I got the volantex spitfire and the fw 190 ❤️❤️❤️still waiting for better weather here as well to maiden them lol got about 15 waiting in boxes 🤣🤣🤣I went a bit crazy but hey ho great fun trying all the different types of planes ❤️❤️❤️
A$121 (US$77) here in Australia free shipping. Well done Alex. Nice little umx . Mine is slightly bigger @1.5m😜 You should have some fun on a calm day.
@@Bellairvideo I would love to have it just to look at it 😄 I'm sure it flies great, maybe Elite bring it back, if not FMS is the manufacturer for both anyway, but red just looks so much better on it.
Be interested to see your Maiden....lets just say I hope yours goes better than mine....be interested to see if you do any mods....I've had mine 6 weeks. Please do share how you get on even if it isn't....ideal?
@@A.M.-RC super. I did a few mods. I beefed up the nose a little as with the removable cowel great for access, which is so welcome! I felt it is a little weak in that area if you don't ever nose plant it then I guess no need! I added some small metal hoop guides for the control rods to stop the flex. Increased throws on elevator n rudder...I fly in a tight space. I do find the different throw rates in the various modes a little strange compared to what you might expect....look forward to seeing your flight n content liked & smashed the button as the say!
@@A.M.-RC didn't wanna steal ya thunder but I embedded the tailwheel in the rudder and as lightweight as possible..it works okay on smooth ground...it's a tiny wheel. I balanced prop lots of vibration on mine & motor screws ensure they are tight...
@@ninehunnerdriver Thanks for your tips! The protocol used on this has had some adjustments from the FX9630 protocol. Pascal has a new test Multi Module version up now. Shown as FX/Q560-2 on test version 1.3.4.9 😉😊
The hub bore is 5mm and it has an adapter to 3mm. UMX props are 4mm and I 3d printed an adapter to use them, but it was a bit of a pain printing something that thin.
@@A.M.-RCThe manufacturer, in China, didn't realize that propeller specifications ( numbers ) like 5045 are in inches; not in mm or cm. The manufacturer gave it in cm, which would make it unreasonably small.
BINGO ! Someone ( you ) finally answered this query I had also posted, for this very same aircraft, at other YT videos. Thank you VERY much ! This is exactly what I needed to know since getting propellers of the same size in bulk is more cost effective than getting the one ( 1 ) offered as spare-parts from the manufacturer or other source(s).
Wow. That's crazy! I only paid $1-2 for shipping to Europe. But I think there are services that allow you to ship to or buy from the US and have it shipped to another country at decent costs. Not sure if it's worth it for something like this though.
Thank god one of my non sponsored friends reviewed this 😅
I took the chance, really like the model and for the price I figured it's worth being the guinea pig 😄

For me only the lights were reversed so not a big issue. But it's important to go over everything, you never know what could be wrong.
Good video, Alex, and honest evaluation. Looking forward to flight videos, and further evaluation. 👍🏻🙂
Thank you Randy! I hope I can get it in the air soon.
Looks nice , is it like my Skylark where you switch into Gyro - Stab mode and then Stunt mode for aerobatics, I like this setup makes model really controllable and safe. Rob
It's a good plane for the money. The stunt mode is interesting but I prefer doing stunts the old fashion way.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I do have high hopes for it.
Wow cool little plane. I bet my son and I would love this one.
We'll see soon I hope if it's worth the money 😁

Just ordered mine £50 on Ali-express what a bargain. I got about 6 1 cell lipo's here !!! can fly it all day!!
Hope you have fun with it, it's great at that price.
looks ok 👍 i like it,lights are cool,cant wait to see it fly 👍👍👍😀
Me too, I'll get it flying ASAP!

Oh, I like the 1.5 one so much! That's part of the reason I got this one. Fingers crossed it's good in the air.
The FmS 1.5 in blue with
Gyro also ( red\mine is Eflite & much more due to the BNF) on sale for Eu283 here. You would love the larger version!
@@Bellairvideo I would love to have it just to look at it 😄 I'm sure it flies great, maybe Elite bring it back, if not FMS is the manufacturer for both anyway, but red just looks so much better on it.
Well the proof will be on how it fly's Alex. The unboxing and assembly seemed easy,
Yup, can't wait to try it, I really want it to be good.

Alex looks pretty good and should fly well. Niiiiiiiiiiiice Jeff in LA USA
I sure hope it's a keeper! Thanks for dropping by!
Got the red version, flies OK for the price.
I didn't have the patience to wait for the red line, after 3 weeks waiting I asked they send me blue that was in stock. I also flew it, it went well.
Cool Unboxing and Review my Friend ❤
Looking a good cheap rc plane for a Beginer like me🐼👍🏻
Thks for the share my Friend 🐼🐻❄️👌🏻
If it flies well it's definitely a great first plane, it looks very durable and it's not expensive for what it offers.
Yha Indeed, is already in my Wish list (Panda Wife whants a Plane) thks for the info 🎉 my Friend
@@pandacrawler6x6 can't wait to see that! If you need any help let me know 👍
Oh yha my Friend i will ask to you!
About what size ( in mm and/or inches ) is the propeller's center hole ( hub bore ) ?
The hub bore is 5mm and it has an adapter to 3mm. UMX props are 4mm and I 3d printed an adapter to use them, but it was a bit of a pain printing something that thin.
Ok; so that means the actual motor shaft is about 3mm.The manufacturer's propeller specification(s) is/are inaccurate. Thank you very much !
Yes. Glad I could help!
@@A.M.-RCThe manufacturer, in China, didn't realize that propeller specifications ( numbers ) like 5045 are in inches; not in mm or cm. The manufacturer gave it in cm, which would make it unreasonably small.
Nice. I just received mine in the mail from amazon. 92 bucks.
That's cool, didn't know they had them , couldn't find it anywhere but Banggood, not even AliExpress.
@A.M.-RC yes. under the name qidi 560 maule
What size is the propeller ?
It's a 5045 if I remember correctly. I tried on some UMX props and they work even better, I have another video flying with those.
BINGO ! Someone ( you ) finally answered this query I had also posted, for this very same aircraft, at other YT videos. Thank you VERY much ! This is exactly what I needed to know since getting propellers of the same size in bulk is more cost effective than getting the one ( 1 ) offered as spare-parts from the manufacturer or other source(s).
shipping to Canada is $81 cdn whereas to the USA is $6! LOL...
we Canadians are so shafted...
