Maiden flight for my Habu 50mm PNP today. My first EDF. Used an old Spektrum receiver with no SAFE or AS3X. What a blast!! Impressive low speed stability. Spent the first battery getting used to landing it (SOP for me with a new plane). A beast on high rates, a pussycat on low. Awesome especially for the cost.
Sure thing! She's a blast, and super easy for beginners to get into too and advanced to really push limits with - so a win, win. Glad you're enjoying it!!!
I was reading where a couple guys had noticed a video for this I think from HH, they said they got to around .15 of the video and it stopped playing. They were saying they thought the video was not supposed to be released yet and therefore it was stopping after a short time. Now I see a day later you are showcasing the same jet!
Great video Brian!! Lovin these 50mm jets that are coming out lately, also really helps with the skills flyin the bigger ones IMO without the cost concern of the larger stuff, thanks for another great video 👊🏼👊🏼
This plane is super easy flying, and love that it's NOT 6S. There's a lot of people who want jet action, and can't afford $185 lipos to make a 3-4 minute flight...so this is a GREAT option!!!
Ordered one today through your link Brian. Now get the second thoughts video out and let’s see you fly it on the Smart G2 4S 1800mah 50C, and G2 4S 2200mah 30C Spektrum batteries please..!! For me this 4S 1800mah Smart lipo is the best overall battery for the Arrows Viper I’ve found.
I’ve just pre-ordered one at my local hobby store.but it’ll be a wait as I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 I just received my Maule v2. Keep up the great work Ive left Rc cars for planes and have learnt and still learning so much from u Cheers mate keep the great content coming! Make sure u thank the camera crew also to!
Hope you enjoy it! This is fun plane, and make sure you see how we setup the reverse thrust on our plane. It's another video, since we didn't know at first what the heck we were doing ;) LOL
You going to be at Oshkosh 2022??? They fly models and you can bring your own at pioneer airport at 7pm I believe. It is a whole lot of fun and it would be great to meet you. Best regards keep flying
Have to say after installing a Spektrum 70amp ESC going to 4s power wow 😯 what a totally different flying experience. Still very behaved slow cruise or crank it up watch it scream by my only complaint is I didn’t order an Avian so I lost thrust reverse. I do have a 45amp ESC Spektrum on the way may throw it in so reverse is back so fun landing that way. Love the videos guys keep them coming. BTW I’m using a Spektrum 4s 2200 50c fits like a glove
I live one the beach and the beach is basically the only place I can fly, I have a opterra 2m and many other planes that I belly land on the sand, do you think I could land this on the beach with/without landing gear or would I break the nose?
Probably. They are big, and you can also PULL the wheels if you want. We JUST covered this the other day on our "Second Thoughts" video, if you're curious. Really wakes up the plane too!
Hey if your having issues with bitting insects, get yourself some TALSTAR PRO. It’s an insecticide that kills pretty much all insects except fruit flies and bed bugs. But it definitely works great with mosquitos.
Thanks James! We think we got this a while back, but haven't treated yet. We had used bifenthrin earlier this season, but it did worse than usual for some reason.
Having lived in Nebraska and here in Florida, I think they are worst here 😕 Very tempting as our park and bad weather jet. Especially since the rudder died on my current everyday flyer, UMX A10.
They are worse there, for sure ;) Everyday flier? If you were flying the UMX A-10, why not go to the BIG A-10??? Not enough real-estate for the full size one?
@@BrianPhillipsRC I have the a version 2 x64mm too. Love that thing. Only draw back is the pilot fatigue does not seem as efficient as my other jets with pilot fatigue (Viper 90mm and Habu SS). The umx is great for bad weather days, especially on days I don't want drag out the big planes. Fortunately I have an RC field with a paved runway only 5 minutes away.
I’ve been flying planes and jets for about 8 years now and found your channel about two weeks ago, man great stuff! Very content and informative. I’ve been flying the Blue Angels F-18 for a few months now, and was wondering what position you keep the elevators in? First flight was very nose heavy so pushed the 5,000 100c battery all the way back! But still can’t get the level flight like it should. Great videos !
Welcome aboard! Glad you're here with us, but to be frank, I haven't flown the Blue Angels F-18 for some time, so I can't remember - real sorry about that Thomas. Did we talk about it in the videos??? P.S. 100C is a MUST on that battery eater. Wish I could get a higher than 100C for it...it was the first EDF that would puff a smart pack for me.
I think we did it on 2200 and 1300, but it's been a while since we filmed this flight. Some have asked if we tried it on 4S, but I haven't, as it's not supposed to be rated for 4S
Brian ,was just watching this video and thought I heard you say you are going to get a solar system. Would greatly like to here all about your experience of how you chose the company and type of system you want and capacity. I know there are alot of companies way over priced and not dependable. Would be very very interesting in hearing all about it. Thanks
Hi Brian, can you explain why the 80-amp Avian smart esc will pull voltage & pop when connecting battery with nothing connected to the esc, I was thinking its loading the capacitors, but the 120-amp Avian ones will not make any sound when connecting!
I think this is a great plane for those new to EDF's. It's also a lot cheaper to own and fly than the 70mm, since you're not dealing with 6S...but the 6S makes it a whole lot more impressive!!!
I was wondering if you could hand launch this thing. Guess you can! Does it still feel like it's going to do a nose dive or rock side to side in notion of a crash after you hand launch it?? I have a really big field I can fly at but no run way haha. Just a big grassy field.
I'm a novice so take this with a grain of salt but I would say probably not too small unless you are experienced and think you can rip something that fast safely in a small area.
Question?? Can the nx6 fly all of the planes that you have shown so far, , Cause I want a couple of the 9lder planes you've shown, but I also want the comander?????
Been flying the Hell out of my Arrows Viper 50mm and it is amazing in high winds and no winds By the book, nope I run a 4s 2700mAh and kills..... I'm going to give this a run, but.... I'm curious Viper 50mm by Arrows or this Eflite?
I love Arrows models, but this 50mm Habu seems pretty good and has landing gear. Being able to practice landing on an EDF is pretty important, being able to practice on a smaller cheaper EDF if you beat it up is going to be cheaper to fix/replace.. that's just my opinion.
That is a great plane too, but different experience having landing gear, rather than belly landings, PLUS you get to have the fun of THRUST REVERSE too ;)
For the extra 70 bucks you get the nicer telemetry esc and Safe Rx over the Arrows, which you'll have to toss in an Rx anyway... I have the 64mm Arrows F-86 and Marlin already and none of the Habu line so it's an easy choice heh. I'll give this little Habu a try.
@@TheLowelllife the Sabre 64mm is trash compared to the 50mm line up by Arrows. 4s 2200mAh or 2700mAh and that Viper 50mm will turn tight without the rudder. I've had the Habu ss and sts.. they're all boring compared to the 50mm edfs.. but thats just me.. $145 for an 80mph edf....? Absolutely im in
Brian, could you please tell me to best of your knowledge an better time frame date on when I will be able to actually get this in my hands. As I'm sure you're aware, this is currently still on pre-order. Horizons website is the only one I have found showing a "next delivery date August 2022" which I'm not mad about them keeping it a bit vague. However I am aware that you have friends in high places and connects in probably more places than I could imagine. With that being said was hoping you may be able to provide a bit of insight on a more dialed in date then just a broad month being August according to horizon. The anticipation is killing me LMAO! I understand if you do not honestly know or have knowledge any more than us standard consumers like myself currently have but it would mean the world to me for you to let me know whether through one way or another you do or don't have a better time frame I need this bird man! I just need this freaking bird ‼️💯💯💯💯💯
Justin, In my experience, when they say August, the quicker you order, the more likely you'll be in the FIRST shipment...which is what they mean by "August". As I understand it, the containers are coming over "on time" as compared to last year...so if it says August, you should be okay to order, if August is acceptable for your timeline. Also, if I DID know, I would be bound NOT to say, if it were not allowed, but this sort of thing is okay to speak about ;) we do have an NDA with HH...since we hear about some stuff years in advance. Most of the time we hear about it a few weeks ahead of shipment, but other times, we'll be waiting for years....like with the F-14 40mm Twin - it's been killing me since before COVID.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I wholeheartedly appreciate your entire reply to the core! So first an formost I will be placing my order the exact moment after I smash that little blue arrow over ..... There --------------->> Secondly, and all joking aside, I really thank you not only for sure a quick response, but your time! Which many may not fully understand can be of priceless value!!

The arrows Viper 50 mm does not have landing gear so if you want to practice takeoff and Landings you'll have to go with a habu but I love the Arrows Viper I've got one
@@backyardscaler No flaps, no lights, does not slow down to a reasonable speed for landing even if you belly into grass, too expensive for what it is and is not. For the same cost you could get much better options, just surf and you shall find.
I enjoy watching your videos Brian I enjoy you and your wife company but I just feel like I'm just going down my body is just going down I just want to say that I love you in Jesus love you and God loves you and Jesus is the Lord
Amazing jet🤌🏾 I am looking into getting the habu sts 4s rtf and since I don't have a radio that will bind to other rc planes because the planes that I have came with their own radios unfortunately they're only compatible with each other so the radio that comes with the habu rtf is able to bind to other rc planes however I kinda want a radio with a screen on it and preferably 7 channels minimum in case I want "flapereons" or "leds" what would be a great radio without spending 400 bucks?
I have a suggestion. If you want to do any of that stuff, get a couple RTF's and enjoy the heck out of them, but don't plan on "saving" money - you won't. You'll make it 2 planes MAYBE..trust me, I did it too. If you want to fly planes, you will get a programmable Tx sooner than later, BUT you should work your plan, knowing that you'll be wasting the few planes radio systems getting from where you are now to where you'd really like to be. It is kinda part of the process. If you want to make the smartest move, and you are 100% sure you'll be in the hobby for a few years, get an NX8 or better ( Tx bit.ly/3J05xSj ) and then just buy the Habu SS 50 (cheaper to fly, and own, but equally cool to fly, but better than the STS due to thrust reverse). I get it though, do the math. Find the best value, and then extract ever ounce of value out of every plane. This is the best way to do it, and the way I did it when I started. If you follow my advice, you'll be 2-3 planes, and better off. You will spend less and have better planes, and better experience. Remember that when you're NEW, you'll want to shop by what battery the plane uses, to keep your cost down...so you can also consider a good charger when you're brand new as well... it seems kinda crazy, but you will buy something like this anyway, but if you follow my advice, you will spend less in the first year or two than the average RC pilot. Start with an S155 (Cheap and still SMART), then as soon as you're ready for 6S, you can just right up to the S2200, and don't screw around and throw away a bunch of your hard earned money on a bunch of cheaper garbage chargers...been there, done that! 1) S155 bit.ly/3KB3HH6 2) S1400 bit.ly/3rKYt3l (Single Channel) OR 2) S2200 bit.ly/398ohO6 (Dual Channel) Then don't forget to make financial plans to buy a hundred dollars or more for the first few months on glues, connectors, and heat shrink, and all this type of thing as you need it. It will be bought, so don't hesitate. Soldering Irons, and hot glue guns, and this sort of thing. If you do the hobby for 2-3 years minimum, you will thank me. If you're going to be a "one and done", which I doubt, then you will be well served with a "RTF" plane as a proof of concept. You will figure out just how hooked you've become, and then you can adjust the budget to work out the painful beginning of the habit. Good luck, and remember we're here to help you along the way.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks alot for the advice man👍🏾yeah I have been in the rc hobby for over 30 years mostly land vehicles and got my first plane several years ago but never really flew it much but now I'm wanting to get a plane back in the air lol I fly fpv quadcopters so now I'm neglecting my land rc's lol I definitely am going to be flying planes alot more now so I want a good radio that I don't have to worry about upgrading any time soon so I think the nx 8 will be perfect 👍🏾and I definitely want to be able to run the same lipos on different planes so I don't have to change connectors....I definitely see your point about the different cells because I will be able to run my 4s lipos on a 6s jet as well so they won't go to waste 😁 I have a few 3s lipos that I have for my old and very cool sensei fs I love the heck outta this plane it was my first bigger plane and sense it is the only plane I have seen with cargo drop doors I fly it for my son and his friends to drop army paratroopers they love it😁 I recently bought the arrows pioneer it's a great little flyer but I'm wanting more aerobatics so the umx timber x is next on my list 👍🏾but now I want an edf there are a few on my list but the habu is number one for its easy to learn capabilities the 4s was my choice because of the radio like I said but what your saying is the best and more feasible route 👍🏾 and I most definitely want to have reverse thrust.... once I get my tx and jet and get some hours under my belt then it's on to my e-flite f 16 and viper🙏🏽😁 I really appreciate the feedback and help alot man thanks for your time this is also another reason why I love the hobby so much because of guys like you that are always willing to take the time to help out guys like myself👍🏾 and I'm officially a sub man take care happy and safe flying✌🏾

Nice I want one
Have u tried setting up reverse like the original v1 ultimate 3d biplane was?
could u make a landing tutorial with different model landing i have looked at other peoples videos and just doesn't help much
I talk through my landings in most of our flights, but I guess we could try to put something together. Thanks Russ!
Is this better than the arrows viper? It seems to be good.
The arrows Viper 50 mm does not have landing gear so if you want to practice takeoff and Landings you'll have to go with a habu but I love the Arrows Viper I've got one
How about using Flaperons to bleed off speed on approach.
Awsome!
sure is!
Is the carbon cub s 2 better or the trekker?
I don't want to say it is, or isn't...I think the TREKKER is simpler, which is advantageous to some new pilots...but they're both good.

I enjoy watching your videos Brian I enjoy you and your wife company but I just feel like I'm just going down my body is just going down I just want to say that I love you in Jesus love you and God loves you and Jesus is the Lord
Amazing jet🤌🏾 I am looking into getting the habu sts 4s rtf and since I don't have a radio that will bind to other rc planes because the planes that I have came with their own radios unfortunately they're only compatible with each other so the radio that comes with the habu rtf is able to bind to other rc planes however I kinda want a radio with a screen on it and preferably 7 channels minimum in case I want "flapereons" or "leds" what would be a great radio without spending 400 bucks?
I have a suggestion. If you want to do any of that stuff, get a couple RTF's and enjoy the heck out of them, but don't plan on "saving" money - you won't. You'll make it 2 planes MAYBE..trust me, I did it too. If you want to fly planes, you will get a programmable Tx sooner than later, BUT you should work your plan, knowing that you'll be wasting the few planes radio systems getting from where you are now to where you'd really like to be. It is kinda part of the process.
If you want to make the smartest move, and you are 100% sure you'll be in the hobby for a few years, get an NX8 or better ( Tx bit.ly/3J05xSj ) and then just buy the Habu SS 50 (cheaper to fly, and own, but equally cool to fly, but better than the STS due to thrust reverse). I get it though, do the math. Find the best value, and then extract ever ounce of value out of every plane. This is the best way to do it, and the way I did it when I started.
If you follow my advice, you'll be 2-3 planes, and better off. You will spend less and have better planes, and better experience. Remember that when you're NEW, you'll want to shop by what battery the plane uses, to keep your cost down...so you can also consider a good charger when you're brand new as well... it seems kinda crazy, but you will buy something like this anyway, but if you follow my advice, you will spend less in the first year or two than the average RC pilot. Start with an S155 (Cheap and still SMART), then as soon as you're ready for 6S, you can just right up to the S2200, and don't screw around and throw away a bunch of your hard earned money on a bunch of cheaper garbage chargers...been there, done that!
1) S155 bit.ly/3KB3HH6
2) S1400 bit.ly/3rKYt3l (Single Channel)
OR
2) S2200 bit.ly/398ohO6 (Dual Channel)
Then don't forget to make financial plans to buy a hundred dollars or more for the first few months on glues, connectors, and heat shrink, and all this type of thing as you need it. It will be bought, so don't hesitate. Soldering Irons, and hot glue guns, and this sort of thing. If you do the hobby for 2-3 years minimum, you will thank me. If you're going to be a "one and done", which I doubt, then you will be well served with a "RTF" plane as a proof of concept. You will figure out just how hooked you've become, and then you can adjust the budget to work out the painful beginning of the habit.
Good luck, and remember we're here to help you along the way.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks alot for the advice man👍🏾yeah I have been in the rc hobby for over 30 years mostly land vehicles and got my first plane several years ago but never really flew it much but now I'm wanting to get a plane back in the air lol I fly fpv quadcopters so now I'm neglecting my land rc's lol I definitely am going to be flying planes alot more now so I want a good radio that I don't have to worry about upgrading any time soon so I think the nx 8 will be perfect 👍🏾and I definitely want to be able to run the same lipos on different planes so I don't have to change connectors....I definitely see your point about the different cells because I will be able to run my 4s lipos on a 6s jet as well so they won't go to waste 😁 I have a few 3s lipos that I have for my old and very cool sensei fs I love the heck outta this plane it was my first bigger plane and sense it is the only plane I have seen with cargo drop doors I fly it for my son and his friends to drop army paratroopers they love it😁 I recently bought the arrows pioneer it's a great little flyer but I'm wanting more aerobatics so the umx timber x is next on my list 👍🏾but now I want an edf there are a few on my list but the habu is number one for its easy to learn capabilities the 4s was my choice because of the radio like I said but what your saying is the best and more feasible route 👍🏾 and I most definitely want to have reverse thrust.... once I get my tx and jet and get some hours under my belt then it's on to my e-flite f 16 and viper🙏🏽😁 I really appreciate the feedback and help alot man thanks for your time this is also another reason why I love the hobby so much because of guys like you that are always willing to take the time to help out guys like myself👍🏾 and I'm officially a sub man take care happy and safe flying✌🏾
