I finally took this plane up yesterday. I read somewhere to place a battery or two in the nose because the plane was tail heavy. I took off and sure enough it was. I trimmed her all the way but she still wanted to climb sharply. I came in for a landing and while I snapped the landing gear mount and blade, the plane survived. I would recommend that anyone who gets this kit adds two AA batteries to the nose before flight, I read 2 and used 1, wish I had gone with 2. Good plane otherwise.
Hey Man, I really appreciate this presentation. I've always wanted to get into R/C, but back in the 70s, it was just out of reach and too expensive. Your enthusiasm is infectious and with modern electronic, R/C is somewhat affordable. Much thanks for this review!!!!!!!!
Ok repaired the landing gear mount with some SuperGlue Gel and let it cure for several days. I took this kit up again today, this time with two double AA batteries wrapped in tape in the nose to make her less tail heavy. She was still a little bit tail heavy so a 3rd battery might go in on my next flight. 2 good flights and 2 good landings! This was my first plane which I trained 3 months to fly on RealFlight6. I cant wait to take her up again! Video I took coming soon. Great price and plane.
Wow! this little hellcat is just plain out of sight! the whole concept is amazing! open the box and fly sweeeeet ! my order is going in friday fosure and by the way im still flying the old freewing hellcat from you ;0) been awile since i bought a bird been holding out for somethign too cool such as this.
heres some ideas: 1. ME-262 w/ elevator,rudder,alirons,steerable nose gear, and retract. 2. Mig-21 w/ the same stuff as the one above. 3. KI-43 w/ elevator, rudder, alirons, steerable tail weel, retracts, and flaps. Also you guys should try to get the exceed rc 70mm edf F/A-18 on your website, nitro planes has it on theres but they are always out of stock for everything
Just went to order this plane, all excited! but found the shipping was almost the same price as the plane. Wish worldwide shipping was more reasonable, and I would had purchased.
The aircraft registered with nr 19 was flown by Lt. Alexander Vraciu,on VF-6, USS Intrepid, February, 1944. He is a Romanian-born American pilot. One of his most successful days came on January 29th, 1944, when he flamed three Betty bombers. Joy over his even greater success of downing three Zekes and a Rufe over Truk on February 17th, 1944, was tempered by the fact that his carrier, the USS Intrepid, had been torpedoed
I just ordered the plane, and I can choose the type of shipment. I think, that they deliver worldwide, but I am NOT sure. There are a lot of different types of shipment. I guess, that you can try to order it so see where they ship it... I mean that u should not put your paydatas there, but just look the type they ship... I hope the plane is good
Why does anyone think this F6F or Banana Hobby is a joke or bad quality? I just got one from them and it looks like great quality...ordered it on a Wednesday and got it on Friday with free shipping!!!!!! Those of you bad mouthing this plane...do you even own one??
ia,m new to the rc planes as kid i did lot of playing with cars bud youre a awesome guy youre videos are fun to look ...if you are a beginner and things go pretty well and you want a real scale model i like the hel cat and i realy falling fore the f14 tomcat bud what would you recomened foure not a 100% skill flyer..a fiend of mine has the curtis warbird ore hawk i,am not sure its big and flys realy stable could i fly it only doing gras landing i think the landing i am not good enough fore thanks
I purchased this from banana and one of the wing hinges was broken. When I called banana they said they would check into it. Never got a call back. Also the flight sim in the box never worked and they said my computer was the problem but it had all the power and speed required on the box. The person I talked to was nice but they did nothing. I purchased 6 years ago and it still sits in the box unused. No reason just never had the time yet as silly as that sounds
I am a beginner Looking to buy a The plane What really Interest me in this F6f It is a beautiful design But what I like about it is the simulator DVD comes in the box I was going to buy a simulator That would save me Hundreds of dollars I know they are very expensive but I would like to see a review of the simulator before I purchase f6f
Good review. I want to chime in on these foam jobs. I have been flying CL and RC for 35+ years; and a million years ago when we started experimenting with EP foam it was marginal, and indeed these have progressed. The looks are now wonderful, I can't deny that, BUT those same looks and scale tid bits like retracts , etc are extremely fragile. I broke down and bought the FLyzone F4U from Tower H. and the first landing bent the gear like it was made of wet noodles. Really pathetically weak design. Second, a slight nose over and the engine shaft snapped. Really? I've stoved Nitro engines in at nearly 100mph and done nothing more that broke carbs. Flight characteristic's squirrely too. For me the jury is still out on these. I've ordered more parts for it, and I'll give it another try. If things remain the same you'll see it up on ebay.....cheap!
They great plane , the only bad things about those plane is the tail whell . Landing those plane can be realy risquy that why many of them in real life have rolling bar .
"Always use a QUALITY alkaline battery" as you insert those cheap, POS batteries that came with the transmitter. Also, "seating" the batteries is wholly unnecessary as the lid won't close unless they're seated. Putting lid on is enough action to seat the batteries. A model this nice should have retractible gears, too.
If you put batterys in and theres no powernthats bad not good means the conntacts are bent in to far get an persion tool and bent carfuly out problem solved.
Pete, your always fun to watch. Your one of the best.

Very nice, love the folding wings. I have a foamy hellcat and its been through alot of abuse and still flies sweet, Hellcats rock!
I really like this plane and the sound it made when flying. Thanks for the great reviews.

in that section of the ww2 era, the paint schemes were so cool on all of the carrier based fighters

This airplane has my name on it. Great job. Great fun
Very nice landing, but next time please open the wingflaps first before folding the wings of the F6F :D
Love your videos :)
Yes, I think is one is for me! Thanks, and what a good job Pete..... :)

I got it, this plane is amazing! I like flying it more than my F5 64mm EDF!
this Hellcat a good plane for a complete beginner? About to purchase one shortly. Up until today only used helicopters...
That’s awesome. Love hellcats that one is beautiful .
I know nothing about these. How much are they? He's awesome at flying these!
looks friggin sick!!! wonder if they will make the F8F!?!?
How much is this plane??? it looks amazing!
Great landing!
Until now i've only been watching your ducted fan videos. This thing is silent by comparison. Think I may have to pick up one of these warbirds.
Man, every time I see one of your videos of an awesome plane, it's been discontinued!
100% ready to fly wow that is awesome!!!
I have had mine for 2 years, crashed it a bunch and it keeps on flying. Needed a few mods but a great plane imo.
Why does anyone think this F6F or Banana Hobby is a joke or bad quality? I just got one from them and it looks like great quality...ordered it on a Wednesday and got it on Friday with free shipping!!!!!!
Those of you bad mouthing this plane...do you even own one??
is it any way I can get this plane I know they do not have this plane anymore DAMN!!!!!!!!!

I think everytime you fly we should get to see an inverted tail scrape along the runway :D
would this plane be a good trainer also
I tried it 2 times, and now all my propellers are broken. Now i took the gear away and tried to get a two blade propeller, but I can't find one...
This is nice not bad flying too
So Bananahobby flies at the same field as Nitroplanes.
mine is noseheavy can you give me a tip to the cg?
Can I land this plane on the airfield/grass?
Do you guys ship to brazil? Thx, man!
i kept hearing bangs in the back ground was it anti aircraft fire lol
what are the songs played in this vid they sond good
What happened to your hand?
Simply nice.
LOVE THIS
Whats the Song Called?
you should review a ac-130

I am a beginner Looking to buy a The plane What really Interest me in this F6f It is a beautiful design But what I like about it is the simulator DVD comes in the box I was going to buy a simulator That would save me Hundreds of dollars I know they are very expensive but I would like to see a review of the simulator before I purchase f6f
I wonder how those wings fold after some crash repairs?....mmmmmm.
how much is it
I'll put the scale looks of my kit built F4U Corsair up against ANY EPO plane!!

You gotta practice that landing a little more, man that was rough

They great plane , the only bad things about those plane is the tail whell . Landing those plane can be realy risquy that why many of them in real life have rolling bar .
"Always use a QUALITY alkaline battery" as you insert those cheap, POS batteries that came with the transmitter.
Also, "seating" the batteries is wholly unnecessary as the lid won't close unless they're seated. Putting lid on is enough action to seat the batteries.
A model this nice should have retractible gears, too.
Why?
Nice model Too Bad it doesn't come in a 1400MM Size Model Now that would Really Kick Pete.
can you say "here" one more time ? :D Just kidding Pete :D
Nice plane too bad the wheels dont retract
10:47 .........Nufff said.
hi pete u dude can i get it chepear than 199.90 doallars plus tax 17.54 =223dollars
If you put batterys in and theres no powernthats bad not good means the conntacts are bent in to far get an persion tool and bent carfuly out problem solved.
100% RTF = 100% FUNNNNN 'maximized' :)~WOO Hoooooo00000oooooo!
cool story bro, if we wanted to know that we could have looked it up ourselves....
@darklukasz no
This kid needs to seriously look up what defines "Super Scale". That's a medium park-flyer at best!
attach an airsoft gun and hunt birds also where was this filmed?
0 people hate remote control airplanes.
ALLLRİİİGHT PİLOAATS AHHA i like this guy i like the way he talks sadbahsdad
