    Thanks for giving chollas rc flyers some love Chris! My home field and where I learned to fly about 30 years ago!

      It’s a great spot, but the runway needs some serious work.

      Hey Chris. Been a member at Chollas on-off for 25 years. Great airspace, but rollercoaster runway. They finally started working on it last month and good progress has been made. Great flying!

    Great video Chris!! Hope to maiden mine soon, would love to see a video on the gyro set up, I could get it to twitch, but couldn’t figure out how to turn in and off with my spektrum radio, so went a different route, thanks for sharing 👊🏼👊🏼

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  2 года назад

      Thanks! It wasn’t too bad, just need to follow the diagram in the instructions to get everything plugged in and then assign the channel the gyro is plugged into to a switch. I won’t work otherwise if it’s not assigned to a switch.

    Hey Chris check out the diameter on the exhaust of those nacelles. By my calcs they are nudging over 100% FSA. Easy model to fit some thrust tubes in.

    Im itching for a new jet and might get this one simply because no danger of sucking rocks into the inlets. I fly off a steamrolled gravel field but its hell on EDFs and I keep a stock of spare fans.

    Hi Chris, for a large jet with gyro, it seems to have some stability issues? I use multi cams and the 360 cam extensively with my flights and understand the trimming needs when mounting on board cams. The empennage was squirming a bit, maybe with the weight of the cam? Looking forward to more flights and in depth review. Thx!

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  2 года назад +1

      The airplane is super stable, especially with the gyro. What you’re seeing are the surfaces moving around a bit. The wing does have some flex and the weight of the cam on the tail was making it move around more than usual. I tried to stabilize a little more in post which ended up stabilizing the horizon resulting in the airplane shaking more than it actually is.

    • @canamwing6999
      @canamwing6999 2 года назад

      The wing is more complex on a Global express. I can see why they went with the G560. No leading edge flaps to recreate.

      Power is pretty good IMO. It cruises nicely at partial throttle but has good power if you need it.
