I would like to comment on how well your camera crew shoots your videos. She does a very good job of tracking the planes that you fly and that takes talent. Also your videos are very clear. I like how you cover all the details in your builds and the pertinent comments about flight performance. It helps us learn the hobby. Both of you please keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! We're glad you say this. We work out butts off, and have a GREAT audience, but that still doesn't stop some jerks from commenting almost every day. Today has been especially bad, so we really appreciate the affirmation!
thanks Allen
I find the camera crews comments very informative. She is very knowledgeable about RC!
She is!
Been watching your videos and I have to say that you and your boss are fantastic.
You put real energy into everything you do.
Your videos prove this and I wish all the best . Thank you..😊
That's Gorgeous in the air, It's looks so real coming at you.
As some other people have said watching you fly crash and repair has taught me a lot about the hobby. Please keep it up thanks to you and camera crew for everything ❤ and who else cares enough to do 3 and 4 hour long videos
Thank you for noticing! 3-4 hours videos are taxing to us, and we do it for people who need the help, then some big time jerks complain about it, since they "don't need it". It's been kinda getting old - In fact, I think I had 3-4 people this week that I got sick and tired of listening too, so they are now blocked, and I hope they go away forever ;) Thanks for speaking up in support of the long videos. We appreciate your kind words.
P.S. You obviously "get it", but it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to keep everyone happy on an opened platform like RUclips, so thanks for making the comment!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Forget the jerks and trolls that don't like long videos,they have an off or stop button.This old man really enjoys your vids and all the help you provide,even though you cost me a lot of money,lol- Thanks again,Rick
It looked soo nice on a low fly by !
You flew it well !
Thanks! It sure does, but you'll really like it when you see our "NEW PROP" video, coming in a couple more days - it "fixed" my main issue with this plane ;) Please check it out when it goes public soon ;)
Glad to hear about the grass ops! I think I’m going to get one of these !
Awesome! She's a monster - HUGE! Love the look, but wish she was a bit more speedy ;)
I got one ! I’m detailing it out now. Maybe fly next week. Been wind to windy here anyway. It seems to fly like the full scale from what I’ve been reading. The full scale takes off and lands the way it sits on the ground. I cringe when I see you fly out of your front yard! Lol you do it good though! Cheers to your camera crew! 👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Brian you do a good job keep it up. You’ve always helped me out in the past I really appreciate it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad to hear it - Thanks again William!
Great video of a fantastic plane. I'd love to buy this Corsair, because in my 35 years of rc flying I've never owned one. You are a very good pilot also. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Aidan! If you want a beauty, this is the one. If you want a less expensive, but still awesome alternative, the 1.2m (linked in the description, FYI) it's also a GREAT plane!
Beautiful, thank you guys.
Our pleasure!
Wow i have some sort of corsair i bought at a swap meet and the f4u corsair is by far my favorite warbird. Great video keep it up
The F4U Corsair is really cool!
Huge! I love it, my favorite plane.
It is HUGE!!!
That plane is amazing. Beyond my budget and capabilities. For now I’ll stick with the Eachine warbirds version. At a distance it looks the same.
Nothing wrong with staying in a budget, but so very Apples to Oranges ;) The prop on this plane is bigger than that whole plane ;) You'd get a kick out of seeing it in person...very impressive!
I am amazed at your control.
Thanks Boss223!
Great plane - thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I am looking forward to what the new prop does for it,thanks Brian!
Great! Hope you'll check it out when it publishes ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes subbed you recently,will be seeing your videos soon,recovering from a big stroke,have lots of time to watch,thanks!
I like the prop detail. Nice touch with the Hamilton Standard emblems.
It is beautiful! I love those details, and can't believe how well they stick and stay!!! I figured they'd be off in a few flights, but zero sign of issue!
It is a beauty but a big aircraft like that also scares me. Love that swooshing sound when it passes.
True, and it can be a bit more scary. When they crash, it's a real gut check to get back in the air.
Corsair is awesome looking plane . That's one I haven't got that I've wanted for some time .
It's striking in the air, but it's also BIG, nay HUGE!!!
Always loved the Corsair. I built one years ago from a GWS kit. Ran it with a 480 brushless motor with no gear. My club was a grass field. The Corsair always had a tail wag. I didn’t see that with yours.
This plane flies rock solid, BUT it could use a bit more speed - which FMS corrected with a different pitch prop ;)
Just ordered mine. can't wait. However only thing i am going to upgrade is the prop. Seen a lot upgrades. I don't think is necessary. It's a warbird. it flys scale enough. Geat video. I may add a clear cot of minwax.
Thanks Ken! The prop was changed by FMS, but they kept the same part number and everything...so kinda makes it hard to verify the NEW prop is what you're getting ;)
Looks a beautiful place to live by the way
We think so too ;) Thanks!
As always, thanks for your insight and comparison of products. My next plane will be a scale warbird. And the F4U corsair has always been my favorite. Love the 1700 size of the FMS product but after your review I feel it's not the plane for me.
I'm glad you could take something away from this review, but keep in mind, I have filmed a review of the "NEW PROP" which is coming next week, so please keep an eye out, before you make your final decision. It "fixes" my issue with this plane (Slow).
...but whatever you decide, I appreciate you stopping by Kurt!
Like the Jacksonville Navy livery. I live in Jax and grew up going to the airshows at NAS JAX with my dad who worked as a civilian for the Navy his whole career after his stint in the Air Force.
Cool! One of my co-workers used to work down there a lot, and he said the Blue Angels were always flying around.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yes, the Angels originated out of NAS Jax a long time ago but now use Pensacola as their base. We do have an Angel on a stick though! goo.gl/maps/Nt6TK5kfE1ugYdPa9
My man ✈✈ keeping my fingers 🤞
True!
Just maidened my FMS 1700 Corsair this weekend. I went straight for the 8s setup. Installed a Hobbyking 120A ESC and using 2 5200 4s packs. CG was around 95mm which is perfect placement. the instructions are wrong on their placement. It's too far aft. Half flaps for take-offs and landings are the best. The tanks and ordinance do add drag and you lose some flight time. Clean I'm getting about 7 min with most of the flight at 1/2 throttle or slightly above. Dirty with tanks/rockets then about 5 1/2 min flight time and throttle is at 3/4. Not a big deal as it looks cool with everything on and 5 min flying time is plenty.
After the third flight my left main gear had similar 'looseness' issue although no foam cracking, just the plastic housing pulling free from the foam. I will see if I can wick CA in or use some JB Weld (preferable but messier to apply). I can see how this would be the weak area given the weight of the aircraft and stresses from grass field ops (which I use for this plane). FMS could have better QC in this area.
Overall I'm very happy with the Corsair. 8s is the best way to go as all you need do is swap out the ESC. My flying buddy has this plane and he commented on how much better and more positive it was on 8s (he flies his on 6s and said it tends to need more power authority). The battery bay has plenty of room for 8s and it helps with the CG as you don't need to add any extra nose weight. (i have seen others on 6s needing to add nose weight to move that CG forward).
Pro-tip; make sure to cycle the gear at least twice before flying to make sure it is 'synced' properly before you take-off and have a potential issue with them not retracting/extending if needed right away. Just the nature of that control board.
YES! I want to get setup with some 8S packs and Chargers too, since I'd like to JUICE up an 80mm F-18 as well. This HUGE beauty was just too slow on 6S, but she did fly well, albeit slow.
Awesome plane!
It really is....hope you'll check out our newest video when we publish it in a few days - FMS sent out new props with improved design. Speed was to be improved without requirement of a new power system.
@@BrianPhillipsRC when I get the notification I watch it Immediately
For foam breaks, I have found Bob Smith Industries Foam Cure glue works great. It dries crystal clear and is easier to clean up.
Let me start by saying, I LOVE BSI product. It's all I used for CA. So, kinda strange regarding their Foam Cure (clear stuff)...I've always felt it's one of the weakest bonds of the contact adhesives, I've used. I far prefer Foam2 Foam, or Mucilage....
Because I LOVE those planes
Me too!
really nice flying , if I lived there I would fly it into the trees without doubt , I have a freewing F4U, 1.5 meter, able to fly it at half throttle without problems ,,,,,
You could do it ;)
That’s pretty nice
It will be nicer with the new prop; I do have a video coming in a couple days. FMS sent mine, but it got delayed, presumably due to Christmas business.
Very cool
My letter to FMS:
I love your Corsair 1700 V3, a beautiful looking plane and I love seeing it in the air.
However, there is a serious flaw and problem with its design and function.
The flaw is in the landing gear. The flaw is how the blue plastic mounting piece for the retract unit ( I will call it the “plastic mount”) is secured to the foam wing. It might be more accurate to say the flaw is how the plastic mount is NOT attached to the foam wing.
The plastic mount has two sides, a front, and a top. It is part of the continuation of the wheel pocket in the wing. Your people assembling the plastic mount put glue on the two sides, the front and the bottom.
- But the sides, a major component in preventing the plastic inserts from pulling out when subjected to landing forces, are 3/16 and 3/8 of an inch AWAY from the Styrofoam on both sides! No contact and not even close. I can see the glue mounds on the sides, hardened having never touched foam.
- The top of the plastic mount is also not touching the foam so either the glue does not touch the foam or a hump in the glue touches it in a very small area.
So we are left with the glue in the VERY small frontal area of the plastic mount carrying most of the forces of the landing gear. And to make that even less effective, the foam that frontal area is understandably very small because it is at the leading edge of the wing where it is thin and does not have much strength.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m thinking you need to remold the pocket in the wing to AT LEAST touch the plastic mount on all four sides. …..unless your plan is to make your profits by customers continuing to buy your replacement wings ……………..which are on back order so now the plane sits there.
And please don’t just assume I am a bad flier. Take a look at Brian Phillips’ coverage and go to the 22.10 minutes: ruclips.net/video/iBCD03X_CuY/видео.html
This is exactly what I am talking about.
I see. Thanks!
Too bad about the landing gear but easy to fix. Warbirds are supposed to be fast, upgrade it and fly the wings off of it. Nice video, camera crew. 🙂
Very true! New prop is on it and video is coming in a couple more days - too much new stuff to delay for a prop remaiden ;)
Spoiler alert...
...it's way better ;)
I hope to see you fly FMS 1.7m P51D in very soon
Me too ;)
rcinformer has videos out on that FMS Corsair and about the new prop Eflite has put out free. Perhaps you can get one free if you didn't already receive one. Nice Video Brain always a joy to watch.
Our "new prop" video is already uploaded and in queue for publish. I've been aware of this for weeks, but we've been producing so many other videos, and then my shipping took FOREVER, so we necessarily had to hold off for a few extra days - sorry about that!
Brian there’s a video by RC Informer, there is a new propeller with more pitch that gives much better performance on 6S and unlimited climb on 8S making it possible to hang on the prop. How cool is that.. I want one now, run the new prop and 8S.
I have the new prop installed, but this video was RIGHT before I got it. We will be publishing the NEW PROP video in a few days.
I watched Rich (the RC Informer) doing these things, but I don't want to drop ANOTHER $200+ on a 120 Amp ESC and Lipo for an already expensive plane. I think if 8S and 120 Amp ESC is the right way to go, FMS ought to be sending thoes out too....but just my 2 cents ;) The plane having unlimited vertical would be totally cool, but not necessary. Also, the new prop had an almost an distinguishable pitch change, but it worked seemed to help...Don't want to give too much away, but it was a good improvement.
@@BrianPhillipsRC just run two 4S lipos in parallel for 8S and buy a cheap 120AMP esc. I’m betting this is a well it looked great on paper deal for FMS and the numbers crunchers at FMS wanted to maximize profits. See that with our RC helis all the time, some times it works out great and some times it’s a much hated machine.
Ooo my fave warbird
Sweet!
@@BrianPhillipsRC have you done a review on the sky eagle tr-c385
i need to get on the reviewer list for all the brands
Work really hard for half a decade (or longer), spend about $10-25 thousand dollars of your own money first, then build a small business, and you too could get hooked up with one or two RC vendors - simple as that ;)
Nice video Bryan I wish camera crew could zoom in on the planes when they're flying they seem to disappear quickly
She tries. We film on a Samsung Galaxy S9, so zooming would be 100% digital. I think we're getting pretty close to needing a DSLR, and possibly a mechanical zoom, but she is very good as indicated by watching even Horizon Hobby videos, so I don't want to pick too much ;)
That is the plane that I want after I get better
You're always "getting better" as a pilot ;)
The full sized aircraft whistles in a high speed drive. I’ll leave it to you to google why. The Japanese called this aircraft Whistling Death, for that reason. Might be fun to add that feature to this model but it will take a bit of fabrication.
Sure. A lot of guys will take the whistle out of a nerf dart and mount it on the plane.
All new stock will include the new higher pitched prop. All HH to get the updated prop for free. I was thinking of going 8s but with the original prop and 6s with the new prop.....just a thought. So now you can do a Third Thoughts video.
We already filmed it. We didn't get our prop very fast, so we were delayed....but the video is ready to publish, and will be coming out in a couple days - please watch for our take. We didn't change timing, add 120amp esc, or anything BUT the prop - you might be surprised with our findings.
Ohhh Brian, You Needs To Start Making Some DIY Snow Skiis For Some Planes Since Big Snows Are Comin Your Way New Week! Y'alls Aren't Gonna Be Working & Socked In For The Week+? Maybe Outta Alum Pop Cans+Pop Sicyles Sticks, Etc. & Then Make Some More Real Time Flite Videos Or LIVE Stream It & Use The Carbon Z SS 2.1m, P-51 Ds 1.5+ 2m, Fox 3m, Etc. Hmmm!!! LOL
I know there's a lot of potential, but with snow comes other factors Texan's forget about, like all the mess associated with it, and on these more beautiful planes, I just don't want to deal with it. We need to get some "new" footage done, so fortunately, the snow days give us time to get these projects out!
@@BrianPhillipsRC It Just Sounded Like Fun To Me! PS It's Supposed To Snow Badly On Us Texans Too + Colder Than Witches Nipples Also! YUCK! LOL
Do you have a review of the FMS P-40 B Flying Tiger?? I’m thinking about buying one, but, I’d like to see what you think of it first!!! I’m leaning toward the June Nite P-51 D!!!!!
Not the P-40, but I've never done a P-40 and would love to do it.
You won't be disappointed with the P-51 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku
Brian Check out Rich's aka rcinformer upgrade. Fms change the Blade, je sise it was underpowered and has a 8s convertían kit. It's a hole different beast
I saw it. I have my own video releasing in a few days. I had to wait longer for my prop ;(
Hi. Question. I received my Corsair V3 and during assembly I discovered the Right MAIN GEAR ‘DOOR’ servo was “stripped” and Non operational. I contacted TOWER and as of day 2 they haven’t responded. Not cool. I just need a servo replacement but my main concern is that EVERYTHING is internal which means demolition to the wing. Any advice? I really like the overall quality of this warbird Foamie. Thanks!
No, Take apart the servo from outside. I've done this before. I'm SUPER Sorry you got a bad servo, but do that instead. Open the gear...help it along (the door) if necessary, then take the servo apart, surgery style... then fix the messed up gear in the gearbox of the servo.
OR you could see if they'll send a whole wing ;) BUT I doubt they will...
It sucks that you have to deal with this, and I wish you the best of luck with Tower.
I wish FMS had a "birdcage" version as well 👍👍. AirHammer out!!
I think that livery would be sweet looking, but not sure how it would do from an RC perspective...I think it might want to disappear from the ground ;)
First thing RCInformer did on V3 was increase timing of ESC to max. Looked like it gave him 10-15% more speed. Windy so hard to tell but 3 mins. reprogramming ESC helped.
Timing changed on motor not ESC. It was in the manual.
Rich did about everything you can do ;) I saw his stuff (and yes, he is very good!). I want to keep her stock for the moment, but I DID get my replacement prop, and my video is coming.
@@PaulTAdam
The motor timing is changed through esc .
on " can" motor you could change the timing
these outrunner its all done through the esc.
This plane is amazing, so is your home made runway lol
Thanks!
Hey Can I ask what state you live in? I’m from pa was just curious because our weather seems to be in sync? You need more videos by the way I’ve watched everyone probably 3 times appreciate your work I’ve learned a lot about each plane you review and I’ve made many decisions based on your recommendations, thank you. I’ve been trying to get my wife to take notes from your Camera crew on filming my flights lol. I had her hand launch a p51 mustang and I had the elevator reversed and it came around and hit her in the back and she wont come outside when I fly anymore but your camera crew i think is starting to bring her back around she starting to film from behind one of our big sliding glass doors.
Central, Iowa - just outside of Des Moines, the capitol.
Ouch!!!
I too have crashed into my very dedicated camera crew ;) She was such a trooper, I was like, get out of the way, and she was so laser focused she let this plane bounce into her thigh. I felt super bad, but it was a LONG time ago, and we've both gotten a lot better. She had a small bruise for about 2-3 days. She claims it was her fault, but it was really mine.
That being said, we've been pretty lucky in our RC experience, with almost no injuries, as much as we fly. I think the idea of injury is automatically "DEATH" or "SEVERE LACERATIONS", but really, I think the VAST majority are just minor bumps and bruises, and the occasional property damage. Our home owners insurance agent tells us that with trampolines, they have a new 100% claim rate, which is why they insist we list it...but as for RC stuff, he's not even concerned. He used to live right next to me, in the old neighborhood, so he KNEW ;)
Thanks for the kind words, btw!
Check RCInformer video`s on this plane as FMS sent him the new upgrade prop.
I have seen it, and I have my own...just not released yet. I had to wait longer for my replacement prop, and wait for good weather...
Did you have the new prop that horizon put out or the original.?
Not yet, in this video....BUT we have it on now and video is uploaded waiting in queue to publish. Keep an eye out and you'll see that real soon!
Did you grab the upgraded prop that is now offered? They just upgraded the prop.
Already installed, and update filmed. It's going to publish soon ;) Check it out in a few days. NO, I didn't cheat with new ESC's and 8S packs like RC Informer - LOL - I just kept her bone stock and you might be surprised what my findings were....especially when you see my "installation" video....the second half of the New Prop video.
Brian... I realize now that this may not be your favorite Corsair...But--I think you should keep it, upgrade the ESC to 120 Amp & run it on 8s. I know by doing so is not per manufacturing specs-but put the disclaimer out there to do so at own risk. I think with proper throttle management (on 8s) is the ticket. Doing this upgrade will get you the fix your looking for--"The need for speed". On the up side (with the upgrade)--you can still drop in that 6s pack and fly scale. P.S. Also-Like to see how it performs with you on the upgraded prop from FMS. :)
8s 120a with the new prop would be the perfect kit.
@@GREYCAT0307 Oh Yeah! Check out RCINFORMER He played around with 8s as well. Unfortunately - I don’t foresee FMS updating it with an 8s option due to added costs. Would be nice to see popular models like this one kitted as ARFs where you can choose what system to install. 👍😊
I got the replacement prop, and the video is coming. I saw the RC Informer's stuff, but I don't think it's practical to add ANOTHER $150-250 in cost to an already expensive plane. Knowing that it worked is handy, but now we just need to decide if unlimited vertical is necessary... I know you will, but check out my video (coming in a couple days) and you'll understand my take.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Looking forward to seeing your perspective with the new prop. 👊👍
can you do a video on the AR637T installation and setup on PNP model.
I have ;) This plane, in fact, as well as a few other recent planes. Check the "PLAYLISTS" and you can see this F4U Corsair if you wish. Just look for the "Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden" videos for this and I also used the AR637T in the FMS Futura, FMS ASW-17 2.5m, and FMS Pitts 1400mm of late. My first use was in the XPR Boeing 737 Max 9. If you watch that one, keep in mind, it was my FIRST time with it, and it was very clunky, as I was still learning everything!
Hi Brian, I currently have mine on 8S, It flys fantastic! You mention in your video that your pretty sure they make a 4 bladed 18 inch prop that has more pitch, you were just not sure who makes it, and you mentioned if anyone knows where to purchase one to leave a comment, my question is did you ever find out who makes it??? Please let me know, thanks
FMS makes it...they literally just changed the prop, and now it's the SAME part number and all.
Did you swap out the ESC or just throw in 8s, just out of curiosity.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hi brian, I did change the esc, I fly it on 2 4s 5000 spektrum packs 50c it flys like it's on fire!!! When I first seen your video on the prop upgrade, fms sent me the 18x11 prop, I'd like to get a couple of more degrees of pitch, then it would be more enjoyable to fly on 6s, I'm sure you agree. Is it worth changing the esc to fly on 8s??? Absolutely!!!! It's incredible
Hi Brian, I have a question, are you able to program throttle,aileron,elevator,rudder, flaps, retract landing gear and safety select with a six channels remote control on a airplane model. ? Thanks.
Only with the "six" channel NX6, that's actually a 7 channel transmitter. If you have a DX6, no, but if you have an NX6, YES - I know it's confusing and I have NO idea why they called the NX6 an NX6...
Also...you CAN SHARE A channel for which to ASSIGN SAFE SELECT ON/OFF, OR just have it on ALL THE TIME or OFF ALL THE TIME. So technically, YES, you can use a 6 channel, but you just can't Independently turn SAFE Select on and off. - Hope this clears things up better.
Brian , is.that the new prop FMS finally came out with to boast the speed. It doesn't look like it. But I love the way it flys as is.
Yes, FMS amended the parts list with a slightly larger prop with a higher pitch. All new planes are coming with the new prop. If you contact horizon hobby or FMS they might send you the new prop! I don't know, it's worth a shot.
@@jimvalim1567 Thanks Jim, I am aware of the prop up grade in the newer produced planes and they do have a program were FMS will send a new prop which is not larger but different pitch, 18×12 or 13. Just didn't seem that Brian's Corsair may have the new prop. Thanks
Yes, they did, and we finally got one...but this video was JUST before we got it. We have now installed it, and filmed the remaiden flight. The NEW PROP video will be published in the next few days. Keep an eye out for it.
Dean and Jim - Watch my video when it releases in a couple days. I didn't upgrade everything like RC informer...I just installed the almost immeasurably changes prop....seriously...I could barely tell a difference - Until I took off ;) !!!
I love this bird! It is great looking & scaled with great detail: color/decals, propeller (4 blades = Korean War), flap size & number of servos, generous rudder, gear sequencing (can be though as a bit slow but it is doable) cockpit and front lights! What strikes me as obvious is that is seriously underpowered for its 1700mm size at 100% thrust - it is * s l o w *. I want the plane to fly for me so I do have to ponder in flight whether I have enough inertia to complete a roll. Come on guys, who wants that?!?!?! I would NOT touch the propeller. Looking at FMS' manual/spec document, I see the installed ESC is 80A. I wonder whether one can replace the ESC with a 120A one (it is available) and change the battery from 6S to 8S. It seems there is room to fit an 8s battery. Doing so will increase the motor's RPMs and will fire up this bird. It will take some labor (removal of the propeller and motor to reach the 80A ESC and replace it with 120A) but I think it is doable even for someone new like me (who likes to work with his hands). My recommendation is to hint FMS to increase the Amps in the ESC! Thoughts anybody?
I agree, the prop improvement was not enough. I'm glad it flies nice, but it's right on the edge of a stall basically all the time.
As for 120Amp ESC and 8S...I fear you'd be putting another 1/2 the price of the plane into new electronics...something most of us would not be thrilled to have to do...even with a good plane.
Do comparison videos between 1.2 and 1.5M warbirds. I lean towards 1.2M due to lower cost and easier transport and storage factors, but I'd love to be convinced otherwise
You are exactly right. 1.2m class is a GREAT class. If you get to 1.5m-1.7m you get the addition of a retractable tail wheel, in many cases, but the rest is just bigger, and more expensive.... Some claim their easier to fly....well, if you're comparing wing loading, and it's LOWER, it will tend to be easier, but not all 1.7m planes have lower wing loading than their 1.2m counterparts.
I.E. I don't think you're NOT crazy.... BUT this plane is very impressive!
I'm considering the 1400mm variant as my second plane for next season. I'm down to roughly 40h of flying on my Turbo Timber and so far I'm enjoying myself. I'm wondering if a warbird is a good choice fo a second but it looks like the FMS Corsair has a more docile flight envelope. Could you give me your opinion on this? I know it's not an easy question to answer 😅 Cheers
I don't have any experience with the 1400mm variant of the F4U Corsair, so I'd be speculating.
Here's what I would recommend....
F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m bit.ly/30jJUGy (
@@BrianPhillipsRC thx a lot for your honest and thorough answer. I figured it may be to early to get into war planes yet. Think I'll let some time pass and maybe get one the season after next. I coppied all the links to my wtb list and will certainly make use of them when the time comes :)
Beautiful airport plane Brian I think that'll be my next airplanenever usually spend $500 on the airplane I will that one ps boy you going to California we don't get weather like the at this time of year at least one thing we only get about two months of winter I heard you can get a better pitch prop for that for free if you just send for it they make it now for that plane
We have the new prop installed and remaiden flight is filmed, but the video won't publish for a couple more days...we have new footage to release first ;)
wow 66 I see that number all over the place
Sure do!
Find out the details of that motor, can it handle 12S power? If it can do 12S then it’s a matter of getting a good 12S ESC. 12S ESC will spin the rotor, err, prop much faster and give you more speed.
12S would be CRAZY!!!
Weren't you shoveling snow in yesterday's video? LoL
I'm using footage from last weekend...yesterday we had 40's and tomorrow we'll have a blizzard - welcome to Iowa ;) (and another blizzard three days ago too - LOL)
Your camera crew does a great job. Why not introduce her to us so we can put a face to the voice.
We have featured the "camera crew" in a few videos ;) She's not big on being in front of the camera. I sometimes try to coax her out from back there, but she's reluctant - LOL...
We did a video in the A380 build series - find the playlists and check out the video where we use the CAMEO Plotter to cut custom vinyl decals. She's the star in that one ;)
have you ever hit those poll wires along your road when flying an RC plane?
Pole - Yes
Wires - Yes
House - Yes
Trees - Yes
@@BrianPhillipsRC camera crew? Self?
Is this with the new prop they are sending out?
Not yet. I have it on, and we have filmed the video, but it won't publish for a couple more days...we have NEW stuff to share ;)
hey brian how you been? beautiful bird
Very good, you? Are you all fixed up??? Thanks!
Oh yeah ty
When will manufacturers understand we need stronger gear attachments, this happens way too much on all ARF's wood or foam planes. Yes pretty plane but way slow, not going to spend the extra dollars making it right. Thanks for the review
FYI, We just filmed the "NEW PROP" video, which will be publishing very soon. Please consider holding judgment until you have a chance to see that video ;) You'll be very pleasantly surprised, and NO I didn't upgrade ANYTHING else (like some of my piers - LOL).
Hello Brain,
I like to watch your videos, you do very well. unfortunately my english is not that good. I wanted to start flying now too. I've flown helicopters up to class 600. Now I wanted to take off with an airplane. have already practiced on the simulator. What would you recommend to me as a beginner aircraft. think of one from Eflit with save. Thanks for your information. Sorry for my bad English. Lg Andreas
Andreas, where is all this "bad English" you are talking about? You are better than some of the people I know who were born here. Wish I could speak fluently with more than just English.
@@Jack-gy7cs thank you!
If you can fly a heli, you can fly fixed wing!
Here's a short list of otherwise good choices. Don't feel bad picking a "simple" plane, even thought you know how to fly, you just need to learn a few habits. Since you can't HOVER (usually) you'll have to start paying attention to where you are, spatially located, and where you're going...then you have to make room for takeoff and landing. These are the only things you'll need to learn...you ALREADY know how to fly ;)

Hello Brain,
Thank you for answering my message is not a matter of course. I'll watch all the videos that you have linked for the days. Best regards from Germany
I'm gonna put some cash aside so I can get this and it's p51 sibling.
Awesome!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC you said it's pretty slow in flight, I guess its a fun slow? Or you need a more powerful battery and esc?
Like
Thanks ;)
Brian 8s.
YES...
Sorry for so many comments but I love the navy so much when I have money I want to fly rc navy planes and I want to fly planes in the real navy. Of coarse I will not get a big one I will get a smaller rc than the one you have if there is
No need to apologize!!! We enjoy the comments, so long as they're positive ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC ok
Yeah, that lipo voltage voice is soo annoying. My gen3 DX6 works exactly the same way and that's why I shut it off and just use her timer voice instead
I figured out what I did wrong ;) Now she's quiet until lower voltage.
is it me, it seem kinda slow or under power.
It was. We got a new prop from FMS, and it helped a lot! Still not a speed demon, but what a BEAUTY!!!
I notice your numbers are a little low. Mention something about new stimulus checks In your titles and say something interesting about new stimulus checks while flying and you’ll have a million fresh subscribers.
LOL - Good idea ;) Thanks Keith!!! I've tried to stay away from click-bait, but maybe that'll do the job ;)
Let the camera crew have a go on flying lol
She doesn't want to fly. Believe me, I've tried!

anyone gunna tell him that 3.6 volts a cell on a 6s is 21.6 not 22.8
Go ahead an do a few thousand hours of footage, and I'll make sure to pick out your math errors.
@@BrianPhillipsRC lmao im just a math nerd so don't mind me
