Holy smokes that beast is awesome I could hear it way before it past the mic and it sounds awesome Nice flying Brian thanks to Camera Crew we get to watch the awesomeness 🔥👍✌️
It is a great sound!!!
Seems to be a candidate for FPV flight. Camera crew taken to the next level.
I can't share my FPV, no 107 exemption....thank the FAA ;( Sorry guys!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yea just heard recently that a you tube guy in Philly is in trouble for showing his flights over the city with his toy/model quad copter. Because he makes money on RUclips he is a professional drone pilot.
I have a dji flight cam and gogggles and its amazing. on my fox 3000.
I love the videos you post you explain things better than anyone
Thank you Frandlin! We're glad to have you here with us!!!
Wow that thing is huge!
That's what she said!
Bravo !! Well done !!! Nice fly and filming !!
Thanks a lot! Glad it turned out well!
Very impressed with your landings Brian 👍
This plane makes it easy! I had almost no issues landing this huge beast!
Flew my first time today with my super cub...have never flown until today!!! Never been on simulator. Flew 2 200mah batteries no crashes and had a blast...just watched Brian's videos and went flying!!🙂🥳🥳👍👍✈✈🛩🛩🛫🛫
Good job Mark L. I bet it was even more exciting than you thought it might be ;) I know my first flights were extremely scary!!!
Love the sound. Would stay up all day in our Arizona summer thermals. You can sure see the ground effect of those long wings on landings. Think the box costs $100.00. Your build tips are so helpful.
Thanks Tim! I'm glad the tips are helpful to some. I know there's a lot of ways to skin a cat, but we've done a lot of this work in a shorter than average period of time, so we want to help people along how we can. Some of this stuff, we're just supposed to "know" without anyone teaching us??? I guess that's why we need this hobby to remain multi-generational ;)
What an awesome plane, Brian you did a great job. And camera crew he did an awesome job to.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks!!!
I LOVE it !
Me too ;)
Nice, brilliant
Thank you!
Wow, and she said size doesn't matter lol thank you guys.
LOL - Exactly!!!
Wow very impressive
I thought so! What an awesome plane!!!
I asked myself why do I fly toy airplanes? It's because I'm passionate about flying and model aviation is a great outlet for that......when I watched this video I saw the same passion you have for this hobby and this plane fits the bill to do that. I will buy this plane because you were able to demonstrate all the awesome things it will do in the hands of a passionate and skilled pilot....TY Lee
Thanks Lee - it is amazing, and VERY cool. It will knock your socks off with its shear size!!!
Nice filming 👍👍😌
Thanks! I'll pass along the compliments to the "camera crew" :)
Man, I'm really digging that swoosh sound it makes when it flies by!👍
Totally agree! Love that feature!!!
That thing makes your yard look small. I have it's little brother, the Fox 2.3 V2 and love it! It just feels locked in. Merry Christmas to you and your family .
Thanks Terry - MERRY CHRISTMAS! - I totally agree. We need another 100 acres ;)
Hi Brian. I have this Fox. On the fixed connectors, on the wing and on the elevator, I had to loosen the screws to loosen the connections with the connector, because they did not have a good connection and when the aircraft was working in the air. I wish you a lot of fans.
Good idea! That would allow them to "slop" into each socket at the wing attaches. Good idea!
@@BrianPhillipsRC ou. Than you
I always try to buy from your links, Love your videos.
Thanks you Calvin! You help more than you know by doing this - we really appreciate the gesture!
Brian, You are costing me a lot of money. Your videos are like the Sears Catalog was 60 years ago. The enticing descriptions almost forced you to place an order. Thanks to you I just ordered the Fox 3M. I clicked on your link, so hopefully you get some credit for the sale.
Thank you - Us Brian's gotta stick together!!!
As for the money I'm costing you...please accept my humblest apologies ;)
Fox 3000mm. Hi Brian, I store my Conscendo with a sock over the prop, it won’t put enough pressure on it to possibly warp it either. If you have a clear canopy a long tube sock will also protect the plastic!
Good idea! I bet a sock would be better than a rubber band that would dry out and fail
Go to your local Hobby Lobby and get some of those self-adhesive silicon dots that you use to put under the base of curios, lamps, etc. to keep them from marring the surface of your tabletop. That's what I use on some of my planes to mark the CG and you can easily find them by feel.
WAY cool sailplane. I'd jump right up and buy one, but funds are a bit lacking right now. As always, thanks much for sharing.
Steve
Thanks for the idea! That's a great idea! Especially on the bigger planes ;)
This plane is definitely not easy on the pocket book, but when things turn around for you, in that regard, check this one out! It's everything I thought it might be.
Where's the snow gone.... GO ON STRAP IT TO YOUR BACK AND SHOUT... TO INFINITY AND BEYOND
LOL!!! Maybe TWO or THREE???
I have never had any interest in gliders, but this looks awesome and I’m gonna have to get one.
You need to try one. I thought the SAME thing until I got my first and then I was HOOKED! They're some of the most fun planes you can fly, but they CAN look lame to the uninformed ;) Trust me. By the way, this plane is sweet, but you don't have to spend $600 to get the experience ;) You could start with a Conscendo Evolution and have an amazing experience too! Just my 2 cents - Good luck with your decision!!!

@@BrianPhillipsRC that asw-17 looks nice, but I fly 60cc warbirds so the big ones up my ally. Little easier for my 59 yr old eyes to see. Been looking for something less complicated...easier for set up. Thanks for the great reply.
Nice Glider that is how got into RC started with Gliders frist I know told you that before got to have that one nice I can tell you really like that one
I like all the sail planes, even the kinda crappy ones, EXCEPT for the A800...that one kinda blows hard, and any of the folding prop sail planes WITHOUT breaking - they're useless as gliders!
Aw sweet..the glider I'm thinking of getting..
DO IT!!! You'll love it.
A-B -S -O -L -U -T - E - L -Y ....... fabulous Bri.
I thought i could almost see the contrail from it at one stage!
Reminds me of my Phoenix 2400
Well done camera Crew
So good to see it was not just on display inside
During last video
Happy Christmas family!
I knew some would be excited by the background ;)
This plane would be an AWESOME, albeit expensive to ship, addition to your fleet!!! Can you imagine those beautiful sunsets with a 3M beauty flying though them?!?!!
Could you imagine it. My garage is already so full but these gliders like the Phoenix 2400 store do well with the wings off. I still have not flown it properly and my beloved Christmas present is still awaiting the winds here to die down to fly the new EChine Razor RtF which is a compact beauty.... ( imagine your Fox 3000 giving birth to a small version)
hi there great video...i have a quick question though, won't the transmitter show voltage if you do not attach the cable to the battery connector as you did? i am planning to buy this plane and i was hoping it would display battery voltage just by connecting the telemetry receiver and no more as in the Draco i have...thanks
You CAN if you get the AVIAN ESC, then the telemetry data is passed back from the ESC. If you use the AR637T or AR8360T, or 6610T for example, you have to use the little red and black cable with the micro PH connector back to the telemetry port.
Without AS3X/SAFE...

@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks a lot and happy flying
I fully expected you to take your foam glue and fix the broken foam shipping box. Hahahahaha
LOL - I thought about it!!! ....but no ;)
must be nice!
It is!
I never really liked the Fox as a sailplane - it's military trainer looks just never sat right with me as a glider, but the more I look at it the more I like it and this replica is a masterpiece. I would love to see you on a pure glider, a DLG or maybe a tow launch or bungee launch - love the variometer sounds
I need to do it....you're right!
I had to do the exact same on my flap horns and my linkage rod was 20mm to long had to make them shorter they was digging in to the flaps and stopping them coming down.
Glad to hear I wasn't alone on this one...sometimes I think I'm just "overthinking" some of these issues, but then again, I have pretty good luck once I get them flying, due in part to being picky in the build...I guess.
The King 🤴 of all RC planes!!!! Huge:()
Esteban - The Cameo of the Ages ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC 😂
Just awesome bro!!!!! Really awesome that thing is huge! Are those venom nitrile gloves? I use them for the thickness, they are great. Take care and happy holidays!
YES - and they are very good, unless you're using a hands free wash station :) Which is why I'm using them here. At work, I had to switch to a blue colored glove to get the hand wash stations to work - LOL ;)
The first Fox 3000mm planes imported here came with 550KV predator motors, after numerous prop blade failures they now come with 470KV motors IIRC..This was FMS's solution for shedding prop blade problem...
Well, at least FMS is responsive to these concerns. I personally, really appreciate this, since as you know many RC MFG's will just keep releasing bad design. I love this model, and it is EXCELLENT. If they reduced the power on the motor rather than strengthening the prop...oh well, it's still plenty powerful, and a wonderful plane!!!
I hope you get a chance to fly one Darrell!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Agreed.. When I shed a prop blade it also tore off the nose of the plane and broke the motor mount.. FMS sent me a new front fuselage, motor mount, new prop blades and the 470 KV motor. I was impressed. The blades failed at the brass bushing, the design remains the same AFAIK but the lower KV motor is easier on them.. The bummer is the 550KV motor was much better in climb performance obviously
Right I need to put some down Elevator when applying flaps to stop ballooning?.
Generally, yes. If you can also apply the flaps slower, the system will work better too.
Pressing Clear should make the flight pack warnings go away. Nice bird!
I agree it SHOULD ;)
Whooooooooshhh .... :)
Oh yeah!!!
I love your videos, you make the perfect couple, you are a great flyer an your wife is very good with the video camera
Thank you very much! I agree, she's so skilled at keeping the plane in frame, which is much harder to do than it looks!!! You can always tell when I'm filming, I'm way to shaky and way too fast...looks terrible, but she always gets it done!
I think they only recommend 35C to account for overrated batteries. A 5000mAh 35C can deliver 175 amps. The ESC is only rated for 70 amps, so only a 14C battery should be necessary. I know it's good to have a higher C-rating for peppier performance, less internal resistance, better lifespan and less heating/puffing, but 30C is more than twice the maximum amps of the ESC
I agree with you, but wonder why they suggested 35C!??!?! That's super overkill. This isn't the F4U Corsair....which does pull a TON of power.
Thanks for stopping by!
Brian, I was wandering for reception/loss of signal do you think the receiver you used in the aircraft would be better than the AR620 which is antenna less? I don't need the telemetry.
Yes, this is a LOT better. I don't trust the antenna-less rx'es for a longer range plane like this. There's guys that will be way up at 399 feet ( huge wink here... ) and the signal will eventually degrade with higher altitudes ;)
I've got the ar620 in my Introduction f5j no issues at anything up to 350/400 metres
Hey Brian, now that is an awesome plane. I wonder if you setup crow would that really be like slamming on the breaks?
Probably, but this plane slows down so good with the flaps I wonder if you'd straight up stall the plane??? It would look SO COOL!!!
Use a velcro strap around the blades
How do you keep it from slipping off the front, since it's conical?
@@BrianPhillipsRC if I could post a pic....on my night radian I take off the canopy, use the velcro strap and the canopy fits loosely on top held in with the magnets
Yummmmmm... adobo. Another reason I like your videos. Just need that recipe now! How did you get in touch with that flavor, too?
My wife, and wonderful camera crew, got this recipe from her home school study of Asia with our kids. It is delicious!
Have been watching A lot of your RUclips posts like all the detail you put in the content , learning a lot , like what you are doing . I have one Question ??? Where do you store all of those planes !!
Thanks Mike! We're glad you're here with us. As for plane storage, we have a basement, which is about 150 square feet larger than our upstairs, which is about 1/3 full of planes. I had an opportunity to "liquidate" a few planes last weekend, which almost NEVER happens...since I'm basically an RC hoarder. So now I may only have like 120 planes ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I don't have near the amount of planes as you , but my basement is starting to fill up , not a bad problem to deal with if you ask me . Thanks for the detailed content , have picked up some good info !
You got R2D2 with you😆
The force is with us ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC 🤣🤣🤣
48:10 "Look how long it is...here...grab it." Wow. Lol. I don't care what anybody says...thats awesome. My wife is a great lady, but if I asked her to film me for 3 hours with a model plane...
I'm a lucky guy - She did grab it, BTW ;) I won't tell you if she hit me over the head with it.... gotta leave something to the imagination - LOL
Wow. Very nice! How much is the weight including lipo?
A lot ;) I don't know, sorry!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks anyway. Watching your videos a lot, some again and again! I just ask because we have new laws in Germany. In short: I am allowed to fly less than 5kg on the field behind my house, if it’s more then 5 I need to go to an official airfield. That plane looks 5+ 😖
Brian I don’t see the link you mentioned if I want to buy. I watched the whole video. If I do I was going to buy Dx6. Would that work fine. I just need telemetry for voltage and voice. I don’t need tons of bells and whistles.

How about doing a video of how you store them for those of us who have storage issues?
We just spend a couple hours on plane storage the other night, and it's an ongoing battle, and a worthy adversary.
I wish I had skills to fly such big machine in the limited space...
I've been flying in smaller than recommended spaces the whole time I've flown RC planes, so maybe that gives me a bit of an edge??? I like having stuff around, it helps for filming too.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah your Conscendo in the backyard is serious skill!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I guess I need to practice more. Thanks for inspiration. Great content!
Is this your new favorite glider? Gotta say wish eflite made something like this. Also how well does this thermal?
It is one of my favorites, but it is pretty heavy. I assume it would thermal, but haven't attempted it. I'd rather slope soar with my sail plane.
wow you can accually hand launch it
Absolutely, and I was less than full throttle...I think about 50-60% or so? This plane KNOWS how to fly!!!
When are you going to build a shed to store all of your planes. Lol Nice plane.
As soon as we can make up our mind on where to put it. I want the building, but don't want to give up the land (or really the air space!)
Brian how good do you think this would fly in hawaii ?
On a slope with ocean breeze ;) I think it would fly beautifully!!!

I haven't done any "big heli's" but I had a guy asking me the other day, and I told him I wanted to try some. I'd like to work with MotionRC, but to date, they aren't interested.... they have some good large scale heli's, but they're on another level expensive.
This is powered MDM 1 Fox?
Sure is!
Nice flying model, but way too heavy for any type of thermaling. Same story for the FMS ASW-17. Great flying powered model, but sadly too heavy for any type of thermal endurance. Looks nice though!
Really? I bet it will thermal, but it'll have to be good conditions.
Second, guess my notification thing is wonky, cool sail plane though

Whats all the beeping and booping?
That's R2D2 - LOL - it's called a VARIO (variometer) it's audio feedback to tell you if your plane is ascending or descending and by what rate.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thats awesome. Didn't know what was an option on an RC. Are older model spektums capable? I have a gen 2 DX8
I hear the telemetry? I guess it's the Vario, could you explain what Vario is?
Sure. The VARIO is a barometer driven tool that tells the pilot if the plane is rising or falling. It's used in REAL full scale sail planes too. The pilot can set the rate of assent/decent required to activate and sustain the noises. The higher pitched noise denotes assent, while the lower pitched noise denote decent. It's especially helpful when trying to thermal, since you can't really tell super easy, and while you COULD have the annoying radio gal read off your altitude, it won't update you as quickly, so as to make such finite flight decisions, as to stay in a thermal.
It's a cool feature, that used to cost a TON to get, and now it's more or less built in, which is awesome (granted the Rx is pretty pricey, it's feature LOADED!!!!!!)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Very cool, thanks.
Brian, what are you going to do with all these models you are getting ?????????
Flying them ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC You just wont have the time to fly all of them, because by that time you will be 95 years old and RC Models will be out of this world, I wont see it because I am 74 years old ,so why don"t you donate some of your models to people in the USA, seeing it is Xmas, I live in the UK just a thought Brian
Dude. Are those leather or rubber gloves?
They're Nitrate Gloves. I use them for work, and the black ones made it hard to start sinks, so I switched to another color (blue) and have some black ones left over. They help take the edge off the cold really well!
Oh no I thought you were a commercial pilot?. If not I’m sad. Lol.
What's RD T2 saying In the background beeep da beep de da beep
RD T2?
R2D2 from Star Wars. Haha.
Ooh lol
Yeah, R2D2 was freaking out!!!
Was r2d2 behind you
yes
@@BrianPhillipsRC 😂👌
Ur 10k away till u get that silver play button!
Yep, getting pretty close!!! 100K will be a cool place to be ;)
Where are you sticking these things when you’re not flying them?!
I stick it wherever she says I can ;)
Sorry, I couldn't resist.........but yes, if she says I can put it in the living room, I do that...
Ohhh-Yeahhh Buuuddy! SIZE DOES MATTER!!! 3-Meters Of G@@Dnes, PS Just Like The Bird Of Time!!! LOL
1.2 off 24 isn’t 23.8, 😀
Sorry...sometimes your brain stops working when you're on camera. It's very strange! ;)
why are there any dislikes lol
There's ALWAYS a few dislikes ;) Probably my "haters" - LOL I don't even care anymore, but we have such a supportive audience, and have been so blessed, how could be concentrate on these fools???
Thanks for watching, and being part of our experience Ruckus Bringa!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yea i guess i just get taken up in your flights and how you bring out there amazing presents in the air. when i see the dislikes its like a child asking their parents why they are not happy like their family is lol
Great video except that R2D2 noise ruined a great video☹️
LOL - You don't like my vario :(... You're going to hurt my NX6's feelings - LOL
Brian, if you are interested in a virage, maybe I can help.. Your video would be epic. Check out the vid I linked for it in previous comment.
Links get blocked. I'll see if I can find it. If it looks good, I'll share it here. Thanks Darrell.
P.S. If you saw some of the links that ended up on my channel, you'd understand ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC There are lots of virage vids on youtube. You need to see this specific one.. My e-mail is dbrown9383@aol..E-mail me and I'll send you the correct one.. It's the highest powered virage out there (and I own it :) ).. It will not disappoint
That beeping is annoying. I will never buy a sail plane if I need to hear that :D
It's an option that most pay hundreds of dollars for, but you can either have it OFF, or on a switch, if you wish.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I'm getting more and more impressed about all features the NX series seems to include. I might have to upgrade the DX8. :)
camera crews reaction to that take off lol makes me feel like i am there
;)
To get crow working no need to unscrew wing plug wiring. Just cut one of the aileron wires going to the combination plug and re terminate to its own plug then you can run separate channels for aileron control.
nice!
Can we rent your wife for unboxing our stuff on the kitchen table?

Hi Brian and Film Crew,
I bought my first RC in 40 years thru your channel! I purchased the E-Flite Night Radion. It comes tomorrow. My drool cup is overflowing.
Your videos inspire.
I've got a question about this plane as it will be the next one I buy thru your channel.
In the text portion you called out:
AR-6610R
AR-637T
Then it says the AR-6610T is featured.
What's going on there? Shouldn't either receiver do the job?
My main interest is the Vario.
My other interest is range. I've got some of the coolest geography where I live to ridge soar but it was inaccessible for hang gliding due to zero landing areas. I've good eye sight but losing this plane like I lost all my other planes in the 60's and 70's would not be good. What's the range roughly?
Then .... I type this and see Radio Setup above....I'm pushing comment anyway! ;-)
Awesome, and thanks! Glad you're using our links!!! This REALLY helps!
Range is "Beyond Line of Sight" - AKA WAY longer than you had back in the 60's and 70's...and I doubt you'll run it out, but in doubt, you can do a "RANGE TEST" where the power is cut by a factor of 10X, so you can SEE where you'll lose signal...but I have never had this issue on DSMX.
Here's a quick breakdown of what we usually suggest...
AR410 bprc.me/AR410 - Simple 4 Channel Air Rx with limited telemetry - No AS3X & SAFE
AR620 bprc.me/AR620 - Simple 6 Channel Air Rx with limited telemetry - No AS3X & SAFE
>>>> Featured in Video >>>> AR6610T bprc.me/AR6610T - More telemetry - No AS3X & SAFE
The one DIRECTLY above was what we used (AR6610T), but this one has no SAFE or AS3X, which you might not need...so if so, this would get VARIO but give up stabilizer (AS3X) and auto-leveling (SAFE), but I suspect you don't want or need that???
AR630 bprc.me/AR630 - AS3X & SAFE with limited telemetry + INTERNAL Antenna
AR631 bprc.me/AR631 - AS3X & SAFE with limited telemetry + EXTERNAL Antenna
AR637T bprc.me/AR637T - AS3X & SAFE with FULL RANGE telemetry + EXTERNAL Diversity Antennas
The one DIRECTLY above would ADD AS3X and SAFE to your feature set, if you want to add that.
AR8020T bprc.me/AR8020T - FULL RANGE telemetry + EXTERNAL Diversity Antennas
AR8360T bprc.me/AR8360T - AS3X & SAFE with FULL RANGE telemetry + EXTERNAL Diversity Antennas
@@BrianPhillipsRC
Thanks for that, Brian.......But I'm missing why you put two receivers in the Fox? I do want a Vario and I do want AS3x and SAFE. Can't say I know what Full Telemetry is yet.
I understand the external diversity antennas. I've got a DX8 Gen2. I'm thinking the AR637T or the AR8360T would give me the vario. But why two receivers?
@@BrianPhillipsRC
My Fox arrives in hours! I'm holding your video personally responsible. ;-) I like! I think I figured out my question. I'm gonna monkey see monkey do. I'm putting in an AR637T connected to the Reflex. I had the most excellent day yesterday Cloud Street thermaling and slope soaring, then endured one of those quick acting desert windstorms to about 50 knots, survived even greased the vertical landing behind some sagebrush. Slowing these sailplanes down is needed.
Chicken Adobo 👍👍
I think you kan yous thath plate to mount a fpv Camera on
Sure could!!!
Cool! I cant believe you fly with all those obstacles! 😮 That landing approach is like a bush airstrip. Over the trees and chop the throttles, FLARE!Beautiful property. I’m getting back into RC. Been a full scale commercial pilot 36 years, retired recently. Got a Apprentice and a ASW 17, Spektrum NS8 and RC Evolution simulator. Got 8hrs. Of sim time various planes . Ready to go fly RC in a day or 2 at RC field. I have 10 acres hayfield plus neighbors to fly over. Wyoming. No trees! There is a Fox 3.0 in my future. Back ordered to June 2023. Good time frame. I’ve got awesome slope soaring.
Awesome! Glad you're here with us. Flying the Fox is a joy, and yes, flying with all the obstructions had been a part of my flying since I started. It also helps to show size and scale for our videos ;)
I just purchased a crescendo Revolution with the dx6 somehow setting up my aileron stick now is moving the throttle how did that happen can you help me fix it please hobbyzone hasn't returned my text neither has😮 Spectrum desperate to fly it please help
Hi Brian, how heavy is this sailplane? I am concerned I may not be able to hand launch it, depending on its weight. Can you spare some insight? Many thx, Leo
It is nothing crazy, but it's HUGE. It's more about handling the size, than the weight. The weight is published in the spec sheet (follow my link in the video description like you were going to buy it, then scroll down - right there)
If you're an able bodied guy - you won't have any issues. If you do, she's such a powerful plane, you can have a helper do it fairly easily.
Hello Brian,
As of know, I did a few more flights and she is smooth….Thanks again for your vid. It helped me alot.
Did you ever did a vid of the FMS Tigercat F7F, I know its a older model but at my club the grass is often long. I like the look of that model and the wheels are slightly bigger so that should help. If not can you suggest something with a sturdy retractable wheel system and two motors. Oh …and large model.
I watched another channel where the guy actually made it where he integrated the flaps and Ailerons together , and made it one big aileron on each wing . He did this on the Commander .
Full length ailerons would be cool, and can be setup fairly easy, but need a bunch of channels...PLUS now they're offering this plane with the Reflex (stabilizer) so you might not want to spend the extra cash for that feature, given it's not necessary for good flight performance...but the cool factor is definitely fun for us RC enthusiasts.
We can bind a reflex receiver to a Spektrum transmitter?😮
Hey Brian Is it gorgeous 🙂 ? It is gorgeous !
It is!
First Thank You for you video, my Maiden with the Fox 3m, went perfectly. Niceand smooth ….WoW. Thanks Again from Quebec Canada👏👏👏
Great to hear! She is a BEAUTY, isn't she!?!??!
Its been over a year since you built the Fox 3M. How do you like it?? Maybe do a follow up video??
As you often say, second thoughts😂 and I even heard a French word in your video!
Very nice! Thanks Sylvian!
Bonjour Brian, well I bought the Fox 3M and just before I hand launch this 1,000$ bird, thats our cost in Québec Canada after delivery,taxes Would you have a few more comments or suggestions!
Sylvain from Mont-Tremblant, Québec
Just do a GLIDE test if you're in ANY doubt. This plane flies amazing, but it is a PNP, so if something is wrong, don't want to find out at 400 feet ;)
I'm excited for you!
what one do u prefer the 3000 or 2300 I am torn on what one to get. I love how the 3000 snaps together but is hard to judge cal via video haha although I have plenty of space to fly it
3000 by 10 miles. The 2300 is a lot less cash, but the 3000 is WAY better!
upside-down balance the plane
yes
Load her out with missiles... 🤣🙏🇦🇺
Grand Canyon needs a visit...!
Just saying.. 😎🤘
YES IT DOES!
This can easy get u inside and flight
LOL!!! good idea!
one of the best big gliders out there! I wish they used aluminum for the wing locks instead of plastic and some models the front landing wheel will unscrew itself after several landings. i have an easy fix for this on youtube. one of my fav keeper planes. I also have an extra canopy for my FPV setup.
COOL! She is a wonderful plane, no doubt!
FYI - it's antennae for insects, antennas for radio stuff 😆 (that's from my friend who has a PhD in antenna design) Haha. Great video, great plane (now on my wants list) bring on more please 👍
I had no idea! Now I can stop saying it wrong????
What is the vario and what does it do?
Vario is a BAROMETER based tool that is used to measure change in altitude. Very accurate, and very cool for thermalling. Higher pitch means gaining altitude while Lower pitch means losing altitude, and both with varying intensity based on how FAST you're ascending or descending. It's usually a BEEP pattern. They use them in real sail planes and some use them in other flying systems.
@@BrianPhillipsRC great thanks. Do you know of any plane like the Conscendo. I am wanting to go faster but love the way the Conscendo flies. Does the fox 3m fly as fast as conscendo?
