Brian/camera crew. I love your videos! I have learned so much about the hobby. I have a Night Radian, Night Timber, Night Vapor and a few Aero Scouts. Top Gun Rc stuff for sure. Your really incredible at this stuff....... Thanks again for your expertise!!!!😎😎😎
Amazing video Brian. And great idea with that nose gear. On mine I also painted the cockpit window pylons white and I added rolls-royce stickers on the engines. And with the modified nose gear it look great. But that damage at the front of the fuselage looks to be on every single on of these I have seen on the internet. Probably something from the factory.
Thanks for the helpful video. I assembled my 787 along with you. Question...When I initiated the start up, I noticed my ailerons were not level. Do I need to adjust them before taking off, or will it level itself?
Neat to see a tiny RC airliner, I'm not one for that style of aircraft, I prefer fighter jets and warbirds but I am sure this has made some peoples day. Looks like a speed demon too!
Plus I didn't know that you could power your airplane off the charge side when I didn't have the right connector for a certain airplane I made a connector to fit to the charge port and flew my airplanes flawlessly for a long time I didn't even know that was possible just a little side note don't know if you know that but I'm sure you do Thanks guys good job Love the show
Really? Twin Brushless EDF, in RTF with two batteries... Is the price really that crazy? Sure, it's not the best plane ever, but is it really that out of touch on price? I thought this plane was packing quite the punch, but you're not alone in your complaint.
Definitely prettier without the landing gear. She looks like she's be a great hand-launched belly lander. Definitely full of potential for modifications. The price isn't hateful for all of that fun.
Would love to c a vintage Brain Phillip style mod video on this one. Last one you modified was Cessna Citation - Dihedral can be easily added obscurely by cutting left & r8 wing joining surface (currently perpendicular) slanted. - Modern airliners have engines literally touching wing. So cut short engine nasals. Dihedral & short nasals will raise engines making them scale. - Add split flap. It is way easy than normal flap & even poor job isn't noticible - bcz cut surfaces always remain hidden.
Mine had the EXACT same issue with the alerion . I’m sending it back . I’d like to try another but have my doubts . Do you know of any other r T f edf planes ? Really want to try one . This is disappointing
I'm bummed to hear of your bad experience. This plane seemed to have all the "right stuff", but as with most non-hobby grade planes, they just aren't 100%.
Hi! I bought 2 of this plane, but due to the same symptom I can't use it: when I plug the battery, only the right stick works, but not the left (throttle) stick. Any idea why?
If there's a link to the wheels, it would be from the plane, then look up at the top, to RC PARTS - PLANE PARTS bprc.me/XK_A170_MiniAirliner BUT doesn't look like THAT part is for sale - sorry!
I can't wait to see when you start modding this thing and getting it as full featured as your Supreme Hobbies Airbuses:) That is a really good impersonation of Trump hahaha btw
Hi sir, I have an XK A170 RC plane like the one you have, but the problem I am facing is that the transmitter is not connected to the receiver, I have tried to solve the problem through the instruction book, I hope you can help me in solving this problem
You are right it have limitations, it’s shape very good looks like Airliner but no flaps , ailerons in center very wrong, No Glides very harder to land. Takeoff good , cruise good but when lands not slow down even cutting throttle it falls , on little throttle it fast enough not lands even broken at landing time. I flies regularly Horizon Hobby Planes & other Chinese Models but by this Plane my Fun turned into Tears when it broke at landing time very harder to land . This Model know only take off & Cruise but not know how to land as no Flaps Ailerons in center useless. No Functional Rudder. Front Tire looks ugly & broken at first landing. No Low battery indicator beep on controller . On low battery it suddenly starts Falling at distance place. Shape looks like very good, material is good but works very bad totally a waste of money. Thanks
Hey sir, how are you? My son bought this aircraft and the battery was fully charged when we got it but then we try to charge it it’s not charged do you have any issues with yours like this?
We didn't have that problem, but it sounds like you might have over discharged it. If it's too low, the charger won't detect it, and it won't charge. There are some tricks to get the voltage up a bit, buy it can be a little dangerous.
hello i order this rc plane i took it out for the first time today an could not get it to fly all it would do was nose straight up flip and nose down andb hit the ground it was great at hitting the ground i broke lots of stuff on it and was able to fix it all i seen all the reviews on this plan and it was so nice im a beginner and watched your review of the 400mm warbirds and i order two they work great i wanted to step up so please help
I wonder if you've got an issue with your CG (Center of Gravity)? I didn't think there was a great way to adjust, since the battery doesn't fit but one way, if I remember right. Sometimes the Flight Controllers CAN have issues, but I suspect it's more along the lines of not being level long enough to know how to stay true to the ground, thus the pulling up and flipping over. Honestly, I'd love to help, but I don't really have enough information to make a clear diagnosis of your issues. Sorry for that, Vincent. When you can, I want you to try to throw the plane like a glider, from LOW, and into TALL TALL grass, so you won't damage the plane. Just see if it glides (pretty fast toss). If it does the same thing, start looking at the elevator and elevator servo. If the plane DOES glide nicely, then get into power a little and do the same. Make sure you're in auto-leveling, and see what happens. Maybe you're getting into the throttle too much, or too little. My trouble here, is there's about 15 things that could be going on, and I can't tell from your description what one it is. When you're new at flying, you don't see what I or another more experienced pilot might see...so beginners won't usually have an easy time explaining it - not a problem with YOU, just a beginner problem. It's tough to overcome this issue, since experience will improve both your ability to communicate what's wrong, AND the ability to avoid doing it, and/or help you avoid the crash from a component failure, if that was what happened in your situation. Hope something I said helps. Good luck, and hope you get it back in the air soon!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks so much for getting back to me and taking the time to help i have returned the plane back to amazon do you know of a good set up i can start on i was looking at the smaller a-10 thunderbolt i really want to buy a good remote i was looking on your site but it looks like a lot of stuff was sold out can you point me in a direction to a plane and transmitter thanks so much for your help love all your detailed video's
I purchased one of these planes as the reviews seemed good but mine burst int flames the receiver board and one motor before takeoff managed to disconnect battery quickly saved the plane but still waiting 10 months for replacement parts from supplier so in the meantime I bought another from a different supplier but had similar problems before use no help from supplier or WLtoys don’t buy is all I can say
Did you follow OUR link? If so, please tell me in a EMAIL (look in the ABOUT tab for our channel), and we can help try to get you take care of. If you bought from another link somewhere else, please also let me know so we can share who isn't taking care of you.
Nice little plane im not gonna order one because 200 for that plane os alot of money the electronics isnt even worth half of that and its really small. I have hand launched my big planes like the 1.5m slitfire from eflite or my fms skytrainer v2 cuse the gras was either to tall or to rough of surface and ruts in the grass when im somewhere where ots not smokth runway or asphalt runway i hand launch all my big foamies now my balsa planes they have a lottle more weight and they go throifh rough grass loke kts s chsrmamd the grass is cut all the time where we fly it just gets rough from the rain. But i fly there knce in a blue moon my main spot has a nice gigantic paved parking lott and a gigatopen field to fly over
Mine had the EXACT same issue with the alerion . I’m sending it back . I’d like to try another but have my doubts . Do you know of any other r T f edf planes ? Really want to try one . This is disappointing
There are very few and far between - RTF is a class of it's own, and very few are up to full hobby grade expectations. That being said, tech has come a long way in the last decade, and if you can't wait, just get a hobby grade one, and a quality Tx in the mean time. You won't ever look back. bprc.me/Tx bprc.me/NX7e bprc.me/NX8 bprc.me/NX10 - This is where I'd go if you want years of fun...and potentially hundreds of aircraft in the same Tx + bprc.me/A10 bprc.me/F86 bprc.me/Me262 bprc.me/SR71 These are WAY more money, but you'll immediately know the difference when you go fly them.

Yeah, sometimes looks can be deceiving. That's a big part of why we do this channel... everything looks good online but it's not. Hopefully you'll get some value from that. Thanks for watching.
Man I have been waiting for this review!
Not enough small airliners/private Jets on the market!
Great video! I was sold and got one on their special 11.11 sale for $97 shipped. Thanks for the great review!
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching!
Brian/camera crew. I love your videos! I have learned so much about the hobby. I have a Night Radian, Night Timber, Night Vapor and a few Aero Scouts. Top Gun Rc stuff for sure. Your really incredible at this
stuff.......
Thanks again for your expertise!!!!😎😎😎
Always love your reviews, Brian. Awesome energy mate. ❤🎉
Thank you! Glad you're still here with us ;)
High praise, from Brian PnillipsRC-"It's not a turd..." 👍
Yes, exactly!!!
😂
Wow, I wasn't expecting that price tag! Too much for that model. Does seem to fly nicely, but they need to cut that price in half.
Amazing video Brian. And great idea with that nose gear. On mine I also painted the cockpit window pylons white and I added rolls-royce stickers on the engines. And with the modified nose gear it look great. But that damage at the front of the fuselage looks to be on every single on of these I have seen on the internet. Probably something from the factory.
Thanks guys Love the small plans thank you you guys do such a good job appreciate it Peace friends😂

I just noticed that the power lines and the post are gone
They've been gone for awhile.
He had them buried I believe
Plus I didn't know that you could power your airplane off the charge side when I didn't have the right connector for a certain airplane I made a connector to fit to the charge port and flew my airplanes flawlessly for a long time I didn't even know that was possible just a little side note don't know if you know that but I'm sure you do Thanks guys good job Love the show
Thanks for the review, but wow this thing is expensive for a less than hobby grade aircraft. Cool if free or under $99. 😮
Free?😂 What economy do you live in?
Really? Twin Brushless EDF, in RTF with two batteries... Is the price really that crazy? Sure, it's not the best plane ever, but is it really that out of touch on price? I thought this plane was packing quite the punch, but you're not alone in your complaint.
You can’t buy brushless for $99 anymore. Most start around $150
Definitely prettier without the landing gear.
She looks like she's be a great hand-launched belly lander.
Definitely full of potential for modifications.
The price isn't hateful for all of that fun.
I'm afraid the Nacelles will separate from the wings on landing, but I bet in tall grass, we'd have no problem.
Nice little plane.
Do you know if this transmitter will work with the A280 P51D?
Would love to c a vintage Brain Phillip style mod video on this one. Last one you modified was Cessna Citation

The 980 Cobra II from FMS or Roc Hobby...
Pretty plane.. just reinforce the hinges before you fly it with nylon hinges..
Wow... it flies so scale. 😂
LOL - exactly!
Does this plane not have high rates and low rates ? With 3d mode and hi rates it’s full manual on my xk j3
Mine had the EXACT same issue with the alerion . I’m sending it back . I’d like to try another but have my doubts . Do you know of any other r T f edf planes ? Really want to try one . This is disappointing

All the 4 cables are plugged in
NIIIICE 👌🏻
do you have wheels link please
If there's a link to the wheels, it would be from the plane, then look up at the top, to RC PARTS - PLANE PARTS
bprc.me/XK_A170_MiniAirliner
BUT doesn't look like THAT part is for sale - sorry!
If it was three times the size you could add all those mods, but if it was it would already have them at 2x the cost too!!
true
what diameter EDFs are these?
I can't wait to see when you start modding this thing and getting it as full featured as your Supreme Hobbies Airbuses:) That is a really good impersonation of Trump hahaha btw
I love these little airliners, but I wish they could just get all the amazing features we long for squeezed in ;)
uuuge ;)
Might just get it😀

Can you do rc c160 cargo trans twin?
Yeah that landing gear is atrocious but I definitely appreciate watching you modding it, gonna see what I can do soon after my maiden 😅
Have fun! she's WAY FAST, so make sure you have room ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah twin edfs usually scoot!! Need a good day here in md, I'll bring out all my twins (a10, f14, su27, 787 ) 💪🏽

I was wondering what happen to the wheels on landing.
Neat little plane but $220+ Taxx for a tiny WLToys Edf no way
Did someone take down those pesky telephone poles and wires in your flight zone?
Yes, we did!
Remember that Boing lol.
Seems a little fast for an airliner type
I thought the same thing. Would like to see it fly slower with flaps
"Definitely out of the 'turdish league'" 😂😂😂
Turdish Airlines??? Get the Trademark NOW!!!! ;) LOL
