I really liked the looks of that plane! Im quite sure your recommendation is very good as well but they are exact opposite in appearance. As always, thanks so much to you both for another great review!
First, I love watching you guys. The fact you care about each other shows. I can see why this plane was discontinued. Out of the box, it appears it was virtually uncontrollable. If Abby would have done this maiden flight you would have had to buy her some blood pressure medication.
One of my favorite planes. Had it for 3 years. Finally got enough hanger rash so I repainted it. Doesn’t need the flaps 😂. I upgraded my esc to run 4s, it really wakes it up! Great plane. Remove those wheel pans too, paint chips real easy on this one. Also running a heavier battery helps, I ran a 3s 3000mah all the way forward. Great video!
Commander is a great plane! Love mine. Trimming with SAFE on is not a good idea. Yes, you can do it. But then when you turn SAFE off, I hope your good and quick on the sticks. I've worked through this with a few of my first planes and helped others with their birds when they had problems. Always best to get the control surfaces mechanically centered and the CoG correct to start with. SAFE will mask trim issues. If your new to flying RC, find an experienced, good pilot to help you. Especially with maiden and trimming. Trim with SAFE OFF. Land it, park it on level surface and measure each surface. Then zero that Tx trim and mechanically adjust surface to where it was measured as trimmed. If your bird is flying true with less than three clicks of trim with SAFE off, it it's flying right and won't need any adjustments going from SAFE to normal AS3X. Arming on a level surface helps to. AS3X/SAFE has offsets for landing gear to flight level programming. Arming on a 10° down, 20° left bank can make the plane think that is flight level. Nope, not good.
Thank you both, you are the only channel that I constantly check for new videos. I love your content and love that you thank God every video. Stay safe and keep doing what you do.
Abby's always doing a great job with her camera work! I don't think she even uses that mini screen anymore. She can feel where to point the camera! Keep up the excellent reviews. Thank you!
I have this plane and upgraded the esc to 60amp and I'm now flying it with 4s 3000mah battery without changing the motor or prop...flies incredible! Perfectly balanced and super fast. I've had over 100 flights with that set up with no problems!
I literally did the same with mines except put a 4s 3200 pack in it, I was able to get mine over 115 mph, stock motor and prop then I decided to make mines FPV and thought I could fly around some trees like a real Pylon racer and lost all connection to the plane, totalled it lol 😭😭 now I'm deployed over seas thinking they gonna still have it in stock when I came back to the states and looked it up not in stock anymore this was my by far my favorite plane to fly 🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@kingrc6865 I'm sorry to hear that! Never feels good to lose a plane. :( the comander should have been a 4s plane to begin with. Also needs a heavier battery to properly balance it. Flying it with 2200 3s battery out of the box was almost a disaster for me due to the balancing. It "porpoised" quite a bit like you saw in this video. All the best overseas...cheers!
That looks like a pretty cool plane. I don't understand HH's mindset in discontinuing it and still producing junk like the Duet. Nice video, good flying and Abby's camera work is great.
Really cool plane, unfortunately Flite Test released the G-44 Widgeon which I put together a few minutes ago... I'll put it in my list though. Be well and stay safe!
I finally got my Maule figured out as far as a binding issue. I went out and lengthened and widened the glider airfield yesterday with my old Ariens orange riding mower. I had rain chasing me the whole way. No one has been using this beautiful field but thats going to change now! My thought is no one really wanted the field to be used and the farmer that has been loaning the property will not maintain it because he doesn't want anyone to complain about noise. The thing is, most planes are now electric, so there is no excuse for not to use it, glider or otherwize. The person I contacted said electric planes are fine. just no nitro.
I recomend a holystone hs110d. Its a bit pricey but its a good drone. If you have the money go for a simrex x11 this one has gps and a gimble. Be warned dont ever get somthing without reveiws lol had to cancel an order today never got shiped
Even after all trimmed up? Yeah maybe just a hair. Could be why this plane was discontinued?? Ggrrr... upset it got discontinued like the day we did a video on it.. Oh well, we will fly something else soon! 👍⚓😎
Call the pilot, "Uncle Wiggly Wings" in honor of Colonel Gail Halvorsen who was a command pilot during WW2, he gained fame for dropping candy to German children during the Berlin Airlift from 1948 to 1949. During the candy drops he would rock his wings to say hello to all the kids....
Ditch the wheel paints and upgrade the servos....I used the wheels from the Flyzone Beaver and from the Timber. The Landings are WHY better with The bigger wheels and without the wheel pants. Its a SHAME they discontinued this....Hope Horizon Does a V2 4s!!!Metal gear servos!!!!Nav Lights Smart Esc New paint scheme No Wheel Pants for better grass landings. I guess i better get spare parts now. Great flying and Looking Plane. I plan on upgrading mine to 4s Nav Lights New Paint Scheme Servos...
Hey Saylors! Of all the plane videos I've watched, I think that's the first time I've seen you do a manual trim adjustment! Cool to see and great to know!
My experience was just like yours. As soon as I took off for my Commander’s maiden flight, it became pretty obvious that the setup was really wrong. I had a series of “Oh crap” moments just trying to keep it in the air and get it down in one piece. That was last year, and it’s been in my basement ever since; but plans are to take it to the field again today and get it sorted out. I love the styling! Man, is that a nice-looking airplane - to me anyway. But it’s frustrating when a semi-experienced modeler such as myself takes pains to get everything right during the build... especially the CG... only to have the thing go nuts as soon as it leaves the ground. As was your experience, it was sort of manageable in SAFE Mode, but taking it out of SAFE made it climb steeply. Thanks for the review! It was really helpful.
Just to follow up, the problems I had on the maiden were just an oversight on my part. Somehow I missed that the elevator was raised about 3/16” with the stick in the neutral position. Don’t know where my head was on that one, as I’m a pretty meticulous builder. Yesterday I adjusted the linkage, and ended up having a couple of very nice flights. It still took a couple clicks of nose-down trim, but apart from that it was brilliant. I love this plane. :-) I guess my only complaint is that this is apparently how it was set up at the factory, and lots of other folks have run into the same issue.
I've had mine 2 years you have push the battery far forward mine used to do that use a 3300 helps the nose is light you can get up to 8mins. I just flew mine yesterday at the park.
Not only did he not trim the plane properly it also appears to be horribly unbalanced. Properly setup and balanced this place flies great on the stock 3 cell battery and amazing on a 4 cell. It's super stable in the wind and will slow down to a crawl with flaps. It's much faster on 4 cells and has unlimited vertical. Great sport plane if you take the time to set it up the way you should. This is just a poor video.
What does it mean to have a brushless motor? and is it special/important in any way? I ask cause its in a lot of the titles and descriptions of RC vehicles but I don't actually know what it does
Brushless uses points along the motor to produce current that pushes the stator along rather than carbon brushes that are inefficient, noisey and reduce power to the motor due to friction. Brushless produces more power or thrust and Instead of using Nicad, it requires lipo because it produces a more stable power supply that doesn't taper off at a curve, instead it follows a straight line, then drops off suddenly. Lipo batterys do require you monitor them better as far as flying time. They can be damaged if allowed to run dead too many times.
hey guys, i have an awesome new effect jet from banggood i think would be great for you guys to review. It’s called the QT mode T45 V2. It has retractable landing gear and 70mm ducted fan. It’s only $200 and has a wingspan of 960mm.
Have you ever built and flown any of the FliteTest models? They’re really fun to build. A bit tedious if you go the “scratch” build route, but the kits are a breeze. p.s....Abby, is there any way you could run the video out on your camera to your fpv goggles for shooting on bad days? Just a thought...
I recomendid this as well they are great. I wish i could get a decent reveiw from somone other then flight test. Just wanna see someone elses perspective on it
@@hstone0808 Just make sure you place it in the right direction and be sure its perfectly level but before you fly it activate safe and tilt the plane left and right forward and backwards and make sure the control surfaces react the way they would in a safe ready plane make sure that if you hold the plane level you're control surfaces level out without any trim
Looks like you had a good experience with the plane. Great job, Saylors! My buddy has this plane and he had similar elevator trim issues on his maiden. I helped him with the mechanical setup, just like you did, and now its one his favorite planes. Great video!!!
SWEET ACROBATIC maiden!! VERY visible; is there room for a bit nose light?! Be COOL, huh?! Thanks Saylors for a VERY educational video! Would leveling flaps work same for V fail plane?? 💟👍😘
It looks like one of the air racers especially with the paint job on the bottom of the wings. Though the wings are kinda wide more like a crop duster. Maybe it's a crop racer or is that race cropper so you can get the job done faster. 😁😁😉😉. Abby Nate sorta crashed on the first landing so now you can fly it.😊😊. Nate good flyin as Usual. ⚓⚓👍💖👍⚓⚓.
“Hi guys hope you and your family are well,I’m from England and was wanting to ask when you’re going to be doing drones again?? I’m looking to buy one in the £80-£100 range. Please help. Thanks and take care.
Yes, the Commander is a pretty plane. It was recommended by my club members for me to get one, because they fly so well. 1400 wingspan is too big for me to comfortably transport, so I had to find an alternative. I believe a few of them are flown on 4s at the club with no modifications, except for oversize landing gear to handle our grass field. Suggested pilot name: Ulysses S. Grant
Nate, I have had my Commander since Christmas 2017, it's my "if I'm only gonna take one plane to the field toady plane" I just love it, it will do any type of aerobatics you can throw at it short of 3D flight. It has a beautiful presence in the air, it will slow down to a crawl for landing with full flaps. However everyone really needs to do a complete check of the control surfaces on the ground before a maiden and get the surfaces mechanically centered before ever attempting to fly, other wise undesirable results may occur.
I love what you and Abbey do. I bought the xk a100 jet. What a nice machine. When it comes to Jet R/C I really like the e-flite F 15. Like your video on it. So I bought it. If I ever look at buying an r/c aircraft, Nate is the best. You are honest and true. Love you guys. Thumbs up for everthing you do.
I also really like the plane and have flown it a lot over the last six years. E-flite has announced that the Commander will be back in 2022. Equipped with better (metal gear) servos, the ability to fly it with 3s or 4s and in a new blue color scheme.
This is one of the best sports planes I have ever flown, and one of the most beautifull foamies ever made. I hope they will bring it back in an updated version with retracts, that would look awsome. Flew it a couple of years with 2 3S 2200 in prarallell, but now I have put an 11X8 prop on it and are flying it on 4S 3300's. Both the esc an motor handles 4S fine with the smaller prop and the power is awsome!
I have bought three of them . I just love the commanderit has to be one of the greatest airplanes that they ever came out. I'm so glad you're showing it and giving a review on it. Some people do upgrade to a 4s.if you knew the story behind this you would know that to RC expert pilots designed this airplane that's why it's such a awesome airplane
You are a better pilot than I am, and I am not criticizing, but I would like to see you let the tail rise off the ground before you rotate on your take offs. (when flying tail wheel aircraft) Thank you so much for what you share with us, God bless.
Another great video buddy, but I am NEW to RC flying. Explaing or show the remote also or at least a separate video on what the remote controls and what if anything does each flap make the plane do in relation to the remote. This is a lot sorry🖐😉
Can you nice Person, mean Aebi and the boss, maybe make a video film for the nice e glider calls Funray? Will be so happy for that. Thanks for all the videos from You too. Makes so much fun to listen and looking for Yours. I am in Swiss by Bern and like the video's from Aebi
I really like that hardware connecting the control wire to the control horn. Imagine you get to the field for your maiden with a control surface that out of trim and you've got a Z-bend connection... that would suck. [Maybe your club stocks control wire, plyers and such?]
I've had two of these now and both needed mechanical trim on the elevator and the battery pushed right forward to counter the crazy amount of up elevator. My safe mode on both points slightly downwards which is annoying although I hardly use it now so it's ok. Great plane though!
I should go crazy mode, buy all I can, tune them up & repack them...IMAGINE A SWARM OF COMMANDER MPD'S! LOL (If I only could!!) But, imagine a nite-upgrade...🤯👍
I bought two of these and just love them they just continued it I don't know why? You look at the history on this two model airplane guys designed it that's why it flies so well the best RC airplanes ever made.
Went into the local store looking for batteries for my Conscendo Evolution and saw this BNF. Since I'd seen your review and knew it was discontinued, I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. It was also cheaper than it was when HH pulled it.

No kidding!!!! I love my Commander and I Hope they come out with a V2...4s Nav lights Metal gear servos....
Why on earth would you not level your elevator control surface before the maiden? Setup process 101!!
Mine flew AWESOME With a 3S 3300 mah pack!!!

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing about how much it looks like a Spitfire, especially the wing shape. Good flight, and a nice plane!
Dude! That is an awesome plane !! 👍 happy to see a plane back on the channel.... keep up the good work 🤙
Abby always does a great job filming. You can always see when you are filming how good she does........lol
Abby, please take that knife away from Nate before he hurts himself with it. 🤣
Hey can you guys do some flight test planes. That would be great for you guys to build some rc planes together i think. I am building an ft mustang.

Oh Nate, schoolboy error not doing a preflight check..... 🤪 my airacobra was set the same new from eflite

Discontinued already? That sucks. The reviews weren’t that good, maybe that’s why.?
Late squad tonight stay safe out there all happy flying 😎😎😎😎⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
I was wondering when I'd see your comment!😂
Better late than never though!👍⚓👍

Awesome can u recommend any drones for beginning on amazon please
I recomend a holystone hs110d. Its a bit pricey but its a good drone. If you have the money go for a simrex x11 this one has gps and a gimble. Be warned dont ever get somthing without reveiws lol had to cancel an order today never got shiped
I kind of like Clevis for a name. Seems to fit with the plane! ;-)
#40 second squad
Amazing video
Looked tail heavy.
Even after all trimmed up? Yeah maybe just a hair. Could be why this plane was discontinued?? Ggrrr... upset it got discontinued like the day we did a video on it.. Oh well, we will fly something else soon! 👍⚓😎
Hi Rc saylors
I would like if u can review the s66 drone pleeese
(sry that I'm not early)
I put a bigger ESC with the stock motor ran it on 4S..... Man oh man 🔥🔥 GPS meter track 115 mph 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great job...nice plane

Nice
Commander Cody should be his name
That's good! Cody is my brother, so of course I like that 😃👍⚓😎
Remember Nate Airplanes don't know wind only pilots do.
Great that you showed how to physically adjust the elevator...AND how to safely land a plane that's behaving like this.
I second this. Awsome to have such great people to help
I m the third one to give like
Nice RC car
Stay home stay safe
Wing and tail from the 30's, nose from the 2000's
And you have the ball joint in the low rate position on the horn.
It almost looke like a geebe mixed with a piper mixed with a extra
Hey Saylors! Of all the plane videos I've watched, I think that's the first time I've seen you do a manual trim adjustment! Cool to see and great to know!
WHY!? WHHHHHYYYYYY!? So mean, showing me this beautiful plane that is discontinued!!
Well, it have been available for several years so you should only blame yourself if you havent seen it before now ;).
Thank God of course RC airplane ready to fly
you should have done the mech adj before the first flight🙄should be trimmed slight down
28th haha.will you do boat week next week just wondering. cool plane!!
Not another boat week so soon, but would love to do one again soon 😃👍⚓😎 It was really fun!

Sometime you have to keep the plane level by raising the rear of fuselage when activating AS3X, while plane is level carefully throttle plane.
Really good looking plane, love the checkerboard
Im getting a stinger 40. Its gonna have a matalic blue checker board patern on the bottom

hey guys, i have an awesome new effect jet from banggood i think would be great for you guys to review. It’s called the QT mode T45 V2. It has retractable landing gear and 70mm ducted fan. It’s only $200 and has a wingspan of 960mm.
Pilot name leroy?🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
Red, short for Red Baron
Nice save getting it down in 1 piece! Good advise and explanation at the end too, with how the surfaces should look.
This plane is awesome 0n 4s, just need a 50 amp esc, unlimited vertical and excellent aerobatics
Great camera work Abby. Awesome plane.
Name the pilot Manfred.
Have you ever built and flown any of the FliteTest models? They’re really fun to build. A bit tedious if you go the “scratch” build route, but the kits are a breeze.
p.s....Abby, is there any way you could run the video out on your camera to your fpv goggles for shooting on bad days? Just a thought...
I recomendid this as well they are great. I wish i could get a decent reveiw from somone other then flight test. Just wanna see someone elses perspective on it
The flight experience was only bad cause of the set up. That's not E flight's problem. Good flight though.
First.

Number 13 glad y’all are doing well, thanks Nate for the work that y’all do....
turned mine into 4s and its a blast
60amp esc
11x7 apc prop
happy flying
No longer available
Crazy question. Can you put SAFE in a plane that didn't come with it?
Yes
@@hstone0808 Just make sure you place it in the right direction and be sure its perfectly level but before you fly it activate safe and tilt the plane left and right forward and backwards and make sure the control surfaces react the way they would in a safe ready plane make sure that if you hold the plane level you're control surfaces level out without any trim
I LOVE ❤️ MINE!!!
The pilot is Justin Timberlake, I love this model my first low wing plane a few years back!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Lol I think that's a great name for him 🤣😂👍⚓😎
Commander Ron rolls off the tongue pretty easy...
When you said it looks like a Spitfire I totally see that as well except the nose . The belly color on a Spit is called duck egg blue
You should of did All that setup before you maiden it.
Sure showed how forgiving it is! Yikes!
Fil for Name of the Pilot. Its my Name too. Master fil is in the Cockpit

Looks like you had a good experience with the plane. Great job, Saylors! My buddy has this plane and he had similar elevator trim issues on his maiden. I helped him with the mechanical setup, just like you did, and now its one his favorite planes. Great video!!!
Enjoy your videos well done again !
Good job 👍👍👍Mine is in the post 🤠🤠🤠

It was recommended by my club members for me to get one, because they fly so well. 1400 wingspan is too big for me to comfortably transport, so I had to find an alternative. I believe a few of them are flown on 4s at the club with no modifications, except for oversize landing gear to handle our grass field.
Suggested pilot name: Ulysses S. Grant
Nate, I have had my Commander since Christmas 2017, it's my "if I'm only gonna take one plane to the field toady plane" I just love it, it will do any type of aerobatics you can throw at it short of 3D flight. It has a beautiful presence in the air, it will slow down to a crawl for landing with full flaps.
However everyone really needs to do a complete check of the control surfaces on the ground before a maiden and get the surfaces mechanically centered before ever attempting to fly, other wise undesirable results may occur.
Oh no you stabbed that beautiful plane 😁🤣😂 Nice flying Nate 👍✌️
I love what you and Abbey do. I bought the xk a100 jet. What a nice machine. When it comes to Jet R/C I really like the e-flite F 15. Like your video on it. So I bought it. If I ever look at buying an r/c aircraft, Nate is the best. You are honest and true. Love you guys. Thumbs up for everthing you do.
I also really like the plane and have flown it a lot over the last six years. E-flite has announced that the Commander will be back in 2022. Equipped with better (metal gear) servos, the ability to fly it with 3s or 4s and in a new blue color scheme.
This is one of the best sports planes I have ever flown, and one of the most beautifull foamies ever made. I hope they will bring it back in an updated version with retracts, that would look awsome. Flew it a couple of years with 2 3S 2200 in prarallell, but now I have put an 11X8 prop on it and are flying it on 4S 3300's. Both the esc an motor handles 4S fine with the smaller prop and the power is awsome!
I have bought three of them . I just love the commanderit has to be one of the greatest airplanes that they ever came out. I'm so glad you're showing it and giving a review on it. Some people do upgrade to a 4s.if you knew the story behind this you would know that to RC expert pilots designed this airplane that's why it's such a awesome airplane
You are a better pilot than I am, and I am not criticizing, but I would like to see you let the tail rise off the ground before you rotate on your take offs. (when flying tail wheel aircraft) Thank you so much for what you share with us, God bless.
Another great video buddy, but I am NEW to RC flying. Explaing or show the remote also or at least a separate video on what the remote controls and what if anything does each flap make the plane do in relation to the remote. This is a lot sorry🖐😉
Can you nice Person, mean Aebi and the boss, maybe make a video film for the nice e glider calls Funray? Will be so happy for that. Thanks for all the videos from You too. Makes so much fun to listen and looking for Yours. I am in Swiss by Bern and like the video's from Aebi
I really like that hardware connecting the control wire to the control horn. Imagine you get to the field for your maiden with a control surface that out of trim and you've got a Z-bend connection... that would suck. [Maybe your club stocks control wire, plyers and such?]
I've had two of these now and both needed mechanical trim on the elevator and the battery pushed right forward to counter the crazy amount of up elevator. My safe mode on both points slightly downwards which is annoying although I hardly use it now so it's ok. Great plane though!
How did u get a red one?!? I can only find blue
I should go crazy mode, buy all I can, tune them up & repack them...IMAGINE A SWARM OF COMMANDER MPD'S! LOL (If I only could!!) But, imagine a nite-upgrade...🤯👍
I bought two of these and just love them they just continued it I don't know why? You look at the history on this two model airplane guys designed it that's why it flies so well the best RC airplanes ever made.
Went into the local store looking for batteries for my Conscendo Evolution and saw this BNF. Since I'd seen your review and knew it was discontinued, I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. It was also cheaper than it was when HH pulled it.
