I remember being 7 years old and finding this channel on my grandfathers computer. It led me into the best rabbit hole I could've ever gone down and I thank you so much for that. I hope you're doing well during these trying times. Stay safe!
me too man, I watched so many of these videos and I even downloaded his foam f22 plans back in like 2012 as a 12 year old and built it, but I never got around to buying the electronics for it since I couldn’t afford them so it’s been sitting in my room to this day
You guys make a great team with this hobby. I like the fact that you don't sugar coat your reviews - that is definately a plus! That having been said, could you do a review on the big cessna foamy that includes the floats in the package? You have a small lake next to you now (really cool!). I would like to get a couple of these for my son and I to fly when we go on our fishing/camping trips this summer.
Yes, it is a great plane indeed. I have an Easy Star, and I made the ailerons myself, as well as a removable landing gear. I didn't shorten the wings yet, I was having some fun with an on board camera so I needed the lift. I also changed the standard motor for an in-runner. I had to reinforce the plane with small carbon rods in order to improve the strength and handling at higher speeds. This sky hawk is an improved version form the Easy Star. It is even fun to fly for an experienced person. 5*
Nice to see you have more room to fly now. Have to deal with snow, but at least you can fly in more than one field! Hope Keith can make a guest appearance one day...
I rememeber this time back around 1982. I took my dad out to watch me attempt to fly my sig Kadet with an enya 40 engine. As I flew over unoccupied territory it was evident that the vehicle was tail heavy and had started porposing. So he starts yelling at me in panic mode. No one or property was in danger but it's difficult to focus with distractions. :-) He and I got a few things straightend out between us that day. :-)
This is a great plane for beginners! Banana Hobbies has the same thing, but called a Sky Surfer. If you have the option, get it with the outrunner & LiPo power as I've seen it both ways. My student bought the Plug-N-Play version and we've flown it 40 times already! GREAT performance for both training AND moderate aerobatics.
Bought it, flew right out of the box. Plenty of power from stock motor and battery. No instructions on gluing wing together before insertion...slid in seemed tight but on a wondy day it wiggled somewhat loose so I added a little velcro to each half so now it wont slip! Thanks for the recommendation Dave! Not afraid to fly this with loss of winter stick time. M
I have this plane with the DX6i and I love it. I have changed the motor to a esky400 inrunner brushless (fits perfectly in the stock motor mount) 6x5 prop and a 50 A ESC. chanel mixing for flaperons and it floats for ever fly mostly at 40% throtle. still wicked fast It will be my platform for a FPV camera, which I expect to be delivered this week
Great vid Dave and Val This is a great plane. I bought it as my 2nd plane (after I crashed my wild hawk into oblivion) It flys great. loops, rolls, split-S, Just get rid of the stock Tx/Rx and get a good set. My stock set gliched on me and gave me 2 hours of work rebuilding it. I also hot glued the 'tight, tight, loose' connectors because mine kept coming loose. I also lost my battery hatch/canopy, so I made one out of a 2 litre pop bottle
Yesterday, I was flying mine and it was super windy and the wings were bending a lot. It was pretty cool. Afew days before, I crashed it into a tree and when it fell out, the motor pod came loose. I glued it with the glue that came with the kit and thought it stayed. In the strong wind, it blew the case right out, and the prop broke, slicing through the wings and the fuesulage.
@thefedexpope the main difference is Alerons. The Hawk Sky has both alerons and rudder, while the wild hawk only has a rudder. Wild hawk also runs a brushed motor on NiMh batteries, while the Hawk Sky uses brushless and LiPo.
i have one of these that i use for my fat shark fpv.. i have to give a lot of up elevator trim for take off or mine will go down like that too.. as soon as its climbing i put the elevator back down to normal and it flies great... just remember to give it a lot of up trim on take-off!!!..
@DRiguana72 the Hawksky and the Hawkfighter both have ailerons AND rudder control. The Hawkfighter is way faster and more nimble, but still good for a beginner- almost better for a beginner than the original Hawksky,because it responds quickly - so you'll actually MISS the tree instead of ALMOST missing it!
Will have to have a looky look for one of these when the weather gets a bit better. I'm still playing with my Dauphin heli atm but thats flyable indoors, my girlfriend loves that thing buzzing around her head whilst she trysto watch tv lol :P
@RCSuperPowers I agree that the Easy Star was good in it's time but has not kept up the changing times. The Easy Star does seem to be a bit more durable. If new flier Easy Star survives the learning stage, nearly all the guys move on and install brushless motors and put on ailerons.
All you gotta do is take it slow, don't try and show off because they are the reasons most rc planes crash. If you get it do short straight flights and land straight ahead. Just make sure you throw straight and not upward. And try small turns to the left and right and once you feel confident enough gain more altitude and do full turns.
first thing i do b4 taking off is check the controll surfaces are working and correct direction! no messing when youve got a two stroker with a prop doing 18,000RPM
thanks guys, been following your videos for quite some time. i've been wanting to get into EDF planes for a while and i know it's going to be a while longer, but i just placed an order today after seeing this video for the flight sim, and Hawk Sky. thanks again for all the light and spirited video information.
I FLEW FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TODAY A WILD HAWK IVE DEMOLISHED THE PLANE A FEW TIMES BUT GLUED IT BACK TOGETHER >>>BUT TODAY I FLEW TWICE AROUND A HUGE FIELD IT WAS AWESOME .....THEN FLEW INTO A TREE THE PLANES BANGED UP BUT .... ILL GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER TOMMOROW ... THANKS BEST BEGINNER PLANE EVER ....:)
@magicman75k It's probably a pushrod (assuming you're talking about the heavy-gauge metal wire between the servo and the aileron), and you can find them at your local hobby shop.
A quick look at wikipedia or any other source will suggest just the opposite - the vast majority wifi is done in the 2.4Ghz range, so by moving to it one would expect MORE interference than with the traditional 72Mhz range. There are way more variables in play than just the band, though. The technology in a 2.4Ghz radio is much more advanced and has significant advantages over similar 72Mhz radios, thus the significant push towards the higher band.
Its a nice flying plane.. tought got what people have told the CloudsFly or the SkySurfer tend to handle better at low speeds and have quite less tipstall danger
i find that flying wings tend to be better beginner planes than easystar/hawk sky/wild hawk/bixler style planes. they are more durable (basically just one piece, i have smacked mine straight into the ground at 40mph with almost no damage), still have the pusher motor that you say makes these excellent, and are more fun once you learn to fly, where as these get boring quite quickly.
@MSFSX94 You can always cut controll surfaces you know. Which is a good thing seeing as how you can make them as big as you want! You'll def want ailerons and rudder.. Seriously! Nothing helps battle the wind better than rudder. Useing the rudder with ailerons makes for snappy response and just helps so much, And in some cases using rudder and ailerons against eachother :)
Dear RCSuperPowers, Your the best and you got me into this hobby, Your should help us out a little more and create a video on how to set up the jet V3 motor and what you'll possibly need. Thanks! From : RUclips inspired Fans (:
@tadflip This is true. Go to hobbyking and look up the Bixler. It's a lot cheaper (about half the price at least if not cheaper) for the Bixler and shipping is also a lot cheaper!!!! The fuse is also a bit bigger in the front so you can put more stuff into it if your in to FPV flying.
I just bought this plane and did a few flights. It takes off fine but I have realized that putting the battery where the manual says to is wrong. TAIL HEAVY! Lol, 2 crashes later and i moved it up, hoping to test it soon.
I bought this plane From Nitro planes Fore 109$ and over 2 years of crashing it breaking the nose off ripping the electronics out Regluing Taping and Wearing at this plane it Still flies like out of the box!
my fear in catching an airplane like that is hearing the wings go POP and seeing the wings snap off but i love how these foam airplanes are HIGHLY customizable and so cheap. Would it be possible to add an additional battery pack for added life to the flight or at least more power?
@rebelmaster47556 I've flown both. They fly very much the same, good for beginners. When ordering either the Hawk Sky or Sky Surfer be sure to get the brushless motor version. The Hawk Sky is a 4 channel and according to Pete of Banana Hobbies the latest Sky Surfer was 3 channel, but easily converted to 4 channels. I had a early version of the Hawk Sky, modified and installed a brushless motor in the front. If you watch some of Nitro Planes videos, I'm flying it in the background.
For the price it sure is. The HAWK SKY and WILD HAWK are the same plane, its just that the HAWK SKY comes with a brusless motor, lipo, ailerons, already installed stock.
I would recommend gluing the landing gear holder down securely because it comes off very easily. also reinforce the nose alot it smushes up after 1 crash and reinforce the tail with a carbon spar it has broken 3 times for me. LAST THING DO NOT OVER CHARGE YOUR BATTERY 4 HOURS IS ENOUGH if you charge your battery overnight the cells will charge unevenly and your cells will implode,destroying it... The battery is unreplaceable and do not but and use a higher voltage battery this will overheat and
I am wondering how would this plane fly if you add longer wings to it. It would probably require to buy another spare set of wings, than cut the one wing tips, and attach the other one with the root removed. It may be a super nice glider, although with that stock motor, wind would probably carry toss it around quite a bit. Longer flight may be possible that way. I know I can fly 1 hour on 2200mah battery my electric Radian glider.
Hey Dave! I've been a BIG fan of your videos and I still am! So I'm getting some RC lessons from a pro, but my problem is that I don't know if I should buy the Wild Hawk or the Hawk Sky. I will modify both of them, though. Keep up the great work!
Agreed. Thanks for the review; but twice you didn't check your controls and surfaces before attempting takeoff. Any why won't hobby shops help beginners?
Cutting out the wing tips.. i saw it once done to a Clouds Fly (AXN Floater) wich is similar to the Hawk Sky, Wild Hawk, Easy Star etc... But.. what about with hot water/Iron straigthen the wing tips flat ? I readed that some people do to Easy Stars and similar.. it would eliminate the diedral wing tips and it would have more wing lift
Great plane! Got it from nitro planes. Glides forever! I'm a total noob and I was able to fly it and land it five times. Got the sim and it helped a lot! Get the 2.4 gig!
Hawk Sky is better than the Wild Hawk because it comes with a brushless motor, Li-Po battery and ailerons from the box. The fuselage design is basically the same as the Wild Hawk.
This is a reallly nice vidio place and seeing all of he FVB stuff is really cool too. The ArtTech 98 is a really interesting plane to see fly. I enjoy this soooomcuch! Keep up the good work. I will send some stuff to you guys as I get more into the vidio stuff. The #11 camera I now have is to be my first ! Chuck
i love your show i boght a dalphin helicopter the one u had and i crashed it it was amazing the controls,both engines and the battery were ok but the recever i think is broken and i bought it with a 2.4 gh controler u were talking about it in the video
just bought one online will let u know what i think. but i agree the hobby zone super cup and mini cub review and mod the hell out of em. also another mod would like to see done to this plane is swing wings for it.
This is a nice plane and I am curious about a thing or two. First the internal cam was nice, probably not stock though right? What did you use? Also this is a glider, yet all of your test flight was under power, shouldn't a plane like this also be able to glide without power? That would be interesting to see also. Thanks!
@PizzaAssassin26 put it to about half throttle and give it a good throw at a 35 degree angle. Let it fly for a second or two, then pull up on the elevator :)
@anthony3leaves No body really answers but I will. Get the Hawk Sky. It's better because it has a brushless motor instead of a brushed like the wild hawk. I've had the hawk sky for almost 5+ months, crashed it like 15 times or more and I just flew it half an hour ago... Cheers!
I've had the Easy Star and its the exact same plane. Same size, dimensions, even made out of the same type of foam. This HAWK SKY comes with much better stuff (brushless, ailerons, etc) and is half the price. Get the HAWK SKY over the Easy Star for sure.
with the elevator not working and you not knowing proves that you should ALWAYS flap test even if they have worked before. You never know when you servo might die
@Beanboy347 Okay, i think you have made a giant fault with your radio control.First you have to switch on the transmitter of your radiocontrol and after this the battery of the receiver.I think,this should help,if not ,..check the crystal of the receiver or asked a experienced RC-flyer !
@TheMegaacidRain If you want to put a camera on it, buy a small camera. There are many websites that sell very small "spy" cameras. Find one you like and attach it to the plane. I use a spy pen, I use the top half, which is the camera part, I stand it up in the battery compartment (the cover has to stay off). I then use electrical tape to hold it in place....it makes the plane slightly nose heavy, but it still flies well.
I remember being 7 years old and finding this channel on my grandfathers computer. It led me into the best rabbit hole I could've ever gone down and I thank you so much for that. I hope you're doing well during these trying times. Stay safe!

We love your stuff--especially the crashes. You put a smile on our faces.
It's refreshing to see that sometimes even the experts make mistakes. Really enjoyed this one Dave.

That video made me happy. Loved it! Now i´m not embarrassed (as much) to be a grown man wanting a model plane.

I have bought this plane and love it. Dave try doing videos like this again. Great job can't wait too see more.
I purchased the Hobbyzone Mini Super cub for my first plane. I'm glad I did. It's easy to fly and very crash resistant.
I'm looking forward to the follow up videos for this plane. The twin motors thing got my eyes open wide.
Great vid Dave and Val

awesome little foamie mate!!! flies good too. a decent high kv outrunner would make that thing really boogie!!!

Good to see you, Jimi
Awesome video. Glad to see your getting back in the groove. Now if everyone at the comments section will just stay off your back we'll be fine.
thanks guys, been following your videos for quite some time. i've been wanting to get into EDF planes for a while and i know it's going to be a while longer, but i just placed an order today after seeing this video for the flight sim, and Hawk Sky. thanks again for all the light and spirited video information.

ILL GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER TOMMOROW ... THANKS BEST BEGINNER PLANE EVER ....:)
One of the best videos in ages guys, great work. Nice to know Val is still on the Burrito's!
We recently put an article on our website about the Hawk Sky.
Very similar to Firebird Stratos, but has ailerons too. Liked and subscribed.
I would go for the wild hawk, perfect first plane.
I miss these kinds of video’s Mr. RCPowers : (
good for you alelakes, I will buy one; it is one of the most controlable and strongest RC planes
I flew this plane today and i must say it was great,only semi crash was my first hand lauch,other then that this plane is awesome...
Like the new location. Fly more rc sea planes with all those cool lakes. Not alot of lakes near the old Rose Bowl.
@magicman75k It's probably a pushrod (assuming you're talking about the heavy-gauge metal wire between the servo and the aileron), and you can find them at your local hobby shop.

so stable and smooth
Its a nice flying plane.. tought got what people have told the CloudsFly or the SkySurfer tend to handle better at low speeds and have quite less tipstall danger
This is the vid that got me into rc planes. Thanks Dave.
I bought a Super Cub for my first beginners plane and i love it ,but after watching this i wish i would have gotten a hawk sky instead!
Cool! Seems pretty warm where you live LOL! And it's January. Here in Norway the snow is up to our necks HAHAHA! Have a nice day!
i find that flying wings tend to be better beginner planes than easystar/hawk sky/wild hawk/bixler style planes. they are more durable (basically just one piece, i have smacked mine straight into the ground at 40mph with almost no damage), still have the pusher motor that you say makes these excellent, and are more fun once you learn to fly, where as these get boring quite quickly.

I really miss my wildhawk. Such a nice plane to learn on.
have u seen the sky surfer. it looks all most the same as the wild hawk..brushless set up ..luv it
I guess everybody wants something different, for me, this is much more useful then a VTOL.
Dear RCSuperPowers, Your the best and you got me into this hobby, Your should help us out a little more and create a video on how to set up the jet V3 motor and what you'll possibly need. Thanks! From : RUclips inspired Fans (:
I think your two channel plane works by yawing. One motor will spin faster than the other to turn when you command it to.
@tadflip This is true. Go to hobbyking and look up the Bixler. It's a lot cheaper (about half the price at least if not cheaper) for the Bixler and shipping is also a lot cheaper!!!! The fuse is also a bit bigger in the front so you can put more stuff into it if your in to FPV flying.

2:31 rocks this video.
Great video, also BECAUSE it contains crashes. It´s shows how strong the plane is.
I´m thinking about buying such kind of plane.
Great video dont stop making them.
I bought this plane From Nitro planes Fore 109$ and over 2 years of crashing it breaking the nose off ripping the electronics out Regluing Taping and Wearing at this plane it Still flies like out of the box!

Awsome can`t wait to see the fast stuff.
@SelectRCdotcom switch the wires around from the motor to the speed control
I have that plane, and I love it.
@youronlycow Thanks! lol got them working a few weeks ago but glad you try, but i've ran into a few other problems now /:
@rebelmaster47556

The battery is unreplaceable and do not but and use a higher voltage battery this will overheat and
frankly, the main attraction for me was seeing Val in your vids...LAPD, LAPD... Hope you're well!
Nice one. Tell me, how well does this thing glide? In the summer, I can catch some serious thermals at a field next to my house.
looks like it can handle crashes very well
a great beginner and experienced rc plane is the delta ray i think…has safe tech. which really helps it….. i have it and it works great!
I am wondering how would this plane fly if you add longer wings to it. It would probably require to buy another spare set of wings, than cut the one wing tips, and attach the other one with the root removed. It may be a super nice glider, although with that stock motor, wind would probably carry toss it around quite a bit. Longer flight may be possible that way. I know I can fly 1 hour on 2200mah battery my electric Radian glider.
Hey Dave!
I've been a BIG fan of your videos and I still am!
So I'm getting some RC lessons from a pro, but my problem is that I don't know if I should buy the Wild Hawk or the Hawk Sky.
I will modify both of them, though.
Keep up the great work!
Agreed. Thanks for the review; but twice you didn't check your controls and surfaces before attempting takeoff. Any why won't hobby shops help beginners?
Cutting out the wing tips.. i saw it once done to a Clouds Fly (AXN Floater) wich is similar to the Hawk Sky, Wild Hawk, Easy Star etc... But.. what about with hot water/Iron straigthen the wing tips flat ? I readed that some people do to Easy Stars and similar.. it would eliminate the diedral wing tips and it would have more wing lift
There is some info on our website about it.
Great plane! Got it from nitro planes. Glides forever! I'm a total noob and I was able to fly it and land it five times. Got the sim and it helped a lot! Get the 2.4 gig!
wonder if theres such a thing as a UAV style plane where you get live streamed images beamed down, that would be awesome
thank you Dave power you rock you stuff is very good .
Great video Dave. A lot of good detail here. I can't wait to see the video with your mods.
Bill
@JustinBlottin the sky hawk was the 1st generation and the Hawks sky is the 2nd generation
i like these planes alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@5LeTTerrz They look a little silly but they are the best kind of platform for beginners. Big, stable, strong, able to modify. Very nice.
Hawk Sky is better than the Wild Hawk because it comes with a brushless motor, Li-Po battery and ailerons from the box. The fuselage design is basically the same as the Wild Hawk.
@Killerplanes Yeah. One problem I figured out just a while ago was that that plane doesn't have ailerons. So I don't plan on buying. :/
i think it would be cool for u to make some twin engine pdf plans and micro pdf planes. your vids entertain me lol
This is a reallly nice vidio place and seeing all of he FVB stuff is really cool too. The ArtTech 98 is a really interesting plane to see fly. I enjoy this soooomcuch! Keep up the good work. I will send some stuff to you guys as I get more into the vidio stuff. The #11 camera I now have is to be my first ! Chuck
i love your show i boght a dalphin helicopter the one u had and i crashed it it was amazing the controls,both engines and the battery were ok but the recever i think is broken and i bought it with a 2.4 gh controler u were talking about it in the video
@bucketlistVlog maybe ur servo connectors are plugged in wrongly. check the colour code of the wires.
just bought one online will let u know what i think. but i agree the hobby zone super cup and mini cub review and mod the hell out of em. also another mod would like to see done to this plane is swing wings for it.
How to upgrade your RC Plane Glider - Balancing and testing
This is a nice plane and I am curious about a thing or two. First the internal cam was nice, probably not stock though right? What did you use?
Also this is a glider, yet all of your test flight was under power, shouldn't a plane
like this also be able to glide without
power? That would be interesting to see also.
Thanks!
@PizzaAssassin26 put it to about half throttle and give it a good throw at a 35 degree angle. Let it fly for a second or two, then pull up on the elevator :)
@anthony3leaves No body really answers but I will. Get the Hawk Sky. It's better because it has a brushless motor instead of a brushed like the wild hawk. I've had the hawk sky for almost 5+ months, crashed it like 15 times or more and I just flew it half an hour ago... Cheers!
I've had the Easy Star and its the exact same plane. Same size, dimensions, even made out of the same type of foam.
This HAWK SKY comes with much better stuff (brushless, ailerons, etc) and is half the price.
Get the HAWK SKY over the Easy Star for sure.
with the elevator not working and you not knowing proves that you should ALWAYS flap test even if they have worked before. You never know when you servo might die

@Beanboy347 Okay,
i think you have made a giant fault with your radio control.First you have to switch on the transmitter of your radiocontrol and after this the battery of the receiver.I think,this should help,if not ,..check the crystal of the receiver or asked a experienced RC-flyer !
@TheMegaacidRain If you want to put a camera on it, buy a small camera. There are many websites that sell very small "spy" cameras. Find one you like and attach it to the plane. I use a spy pen, I use the top half, which is the camera part, I stand it up in the battery compartment (the cover has to stay off). I then use electrical tape to hold it in place....it makes the plane slightly nose heavy, but it still flies well.
@BellowingBeaver Yes, the go quick. They just came back in stock.
