Speaking of John, we recently recorded some awesome flights with his new Avios Albatross from Hobbyking. Look at his channel to see that and more footage in the future of that big beautiful RC Plane!
This are my maiden flight settings for this plane:
- Ailerons: Low Rates: 65% & 30% Expo; High Rates: 85% & 30% Expo
- Elevator: Low Rates: 70% Expo 30%; High Rates : 90% & 30% Expo
- Rudder: Low Rates: 70% Expo 40%; High Rates : 90% & 30% Expo
- Flaps:
Pos: O: -100%; 0%
Pos: 1: -10%; 0%
Pos: 2: -45%; 0%
Here are my review notes for this very big Hobbyking Spitfire:
- Big and beautiful with tons of scale detail
- Lots of bright lights
- Very long flight times with recommended battery
- Scale split flaps
- The huge motor that runs on 3300 to 4000mAh 6S power
- Pan and tilt FPV hardware is included
- The sliding canopy and scale door is the ultimate in scale detail
- Ball link servo connectors
- Hidden control surfaces for a more scale look
Cons:
- I had to manually break in the wheels on the landing gear on this Avios Spitfire Mk Vb Super Scale World War Two Warbird. It wasn't hard by any means, but of time & effort. It is way better to have them be a bit tight than too loose lol
I find it truly amazing just how a foam Remote Control Airplane like this Avios Supermarine Spitfire MkV is available at this price with this many extras. I am completely blown away by this beautiful plane and cannot wait to fly it!
This is how Hobby King describes this RC Spitfire WWII Warbird:
"Welcome to the ultimate scale experience. The Avios Spitfire Mk5 has been built using super scale, a new modelling technique that allows for incredible detail. Featuring more artistry than the 1100mm Spitfire, the larger model has visible panel lines, exhaust, cannons, and scale split flaps with turn indicators for added realism.
The Avios Spitfire Mk5 is the perfect Warbird for flying at your local club. Designed in collaboration with Tom Hunt, the warbird has pre-installed electronics, replaceable rudder, and navigational lights on the the tail and wings. Slide the canopy back, then lower the cockpit door to reveal the interior details, including instrument panels and gun sight. The front of the canopy also includes removable armoured glass to make room for an FPV camera.
Made of bolt-together foam pieces, the Avios Spitfire Mk5 is easy to store and transport when travelling to the air field. The plane also has a large battery tray, ball-link controls for precision, and hidden control surfaces for a realistic look. The Avois Spitfire Mk5 comes in two different colour schemes, ETO (European) and tropical (African).
You'll fall in love with the detail of this super scale model.

👍👍 Revisiting this video - sadly, YT won't allow second thumbs up - but always nice to see .. 😉
I am glad you enjoyed this video my friend! I sold it to Roy and we made a video of it a few months back. Check it out if you cab find it 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Awesome Maiden looks like it flys great Nice Video thanks 👍
Thank you! I sold it to a buddy recently and I got footage if him flying it I plan to post in the next couple of weeks 👊🏻💥👊🏻
@@GBLyndenGreat can't wait to see the Spitfire in action again should have mine in a week or two from Hobbyking Thanks for your reply and videos Happy flying 👍
Oh yeah my friend. Great flying and perfect landing. Big salute to you from Slovenia and thanks for the video. Pilot Robert
Thank you so much my friend and great job on your Airbus 380 maiden! Here's to a great 2019 filled with tons of RC fun!!!
Belle démonstration !
Thank you very much! It was a ton of fun :)
I skipped some parts of it right after the intro, making me think that the it looked like an actual one. Nice smooth flying and it really looks like a master piece. Hope you’re have a nice day. Fly safe and happy new year🤙🏻
I really like it! It wasn't even that bad to assemble and disassemble at my flying location. Happy flying and Happy New Year to you too my friend!
GBLynden's RC thanks :)
I kept waiting on the wing tip to drop, but it never did. Probably one of the most stable Spitfires I have ever seen. Mine would have spun in for sure If I was to go into a turn that slow.
This plane looks and flies great! The only weak link I have found is that the landing gear foam can come off the rim. There are no other flaws I can report based on my experience with mine.
Beautiful bird
Thank you very much!
Thanks for your comment.
The Turnigy Heavy Duty 6cell 3300mA Lipo seems to be a very good battery for Avios Spitfire.
They work really well for this plane and the E-flite Viper 70mm EDF Jet too 😎
Very nice GB, thx for sharing!
You are very welcome and thank you some much for watching and commenting!
Nice Maiden and landing 👍 she’s a looker!
Thank you so much Mike! :)
This could be one of the most stable planes in your channel I guess! And that pass at 2:02 was extremely fast!
It really is pretty stable! In the air, it is one of my best planes by far! The take-off was almost too easy and the landing wasn't bad at all for a Spitfire :D
Pretty sweet. I think I am going to maiden my seafire today. Looks like a beautiful day for Flying. Thanks GB this was inspiring. 😎
Good luck brother! Let me know how it goes/went 👍
Turned out awesome!
Hell yeah man! Thanks again for the great camera work :)
Great Maiden, Ryan! Thanks, John!!
Thanks you Bill! I can't wait to fly it for you in person bro!!!
Great job :-)
Thanks Bro!
Awesome Channel
New Friend
Avid RC junkie lol
Full watch and Like 👍👊🤙✈️✈️
Thank you my friend!
Beautiful plane! Nice flight!!
Thanks brother!
Good job buddy
Thanks Riley!
She looks great flying through the air man.
Thanks man! I really love this plane :)
Great maiden, beautifull plane..
Thank you very much and it really is a beautiful plane! :)
Nice work bro!!👍😀
Thank you so much Jessie! We finally got a break in the weather and I woke up early to capitalize on it 😀
Same here bro. I flew everything I could today😀👍
That is great to hear bro!
That thing looks amazing in the air! Keep up the great content!
Thank you Jason and it you are right. In person, it looks even better!
Dude, you never cease to amaze me. I know for sure that's the biggest "anything" you have flown. Most excellent. Nice rolls and your turns were great. You could turn that puppy on a dime with 9¢ change. Bravo! I commend you :-)
Thanks brother! I had a great time flying it lol I learned a long time ago how to do those tight turns with my micros and felt very comfortable with this one right away. I still can't believe how fast the time went. It was that much fun ripping around with it :D
@@GBLyndenLOL.....Cool
I have to use the Turnigy 4000 mah 6s 60c battery for correct c.g. placement, all the way forward. Otherwise, you need to add weight to the nose.
That is interesting. I had my 3300 all of the way forward with no weight and it worked just fine. It probably could have had a touch more nose weight and flown better though. Did you have to carve out any foam to make it fit?
Niiice bird 👍🏻 Great flight. Did it have any bad characteristics? What skill level would you recommend? Happy New Year 🍻🎉🎊
Thanks Mat! It honestly flew great. Of course landing a Spit is a bit challenging, but it behaved great after I gave it a few clicks of down trim shortly after take-off. The wheels also needed some break-in, but that is just because they're tight and will only get better with time.

Beautiful looking plane an nice flying. Now that you have several Spitfires, would you say they have a unique flying feel or is each plane manufacturers Spits flying characteristics different. How does the flying compare to the E-flite 1.2 Spits.
Thanks man! I haven't flown the E-flite Spit, but I am willing to bet that it is one of the easier Spits to fly. With that being said, they are one of the most difficult planes to land, so your approach needs to be on point, regardless of the specific model. I hope that helps!
Beautiful spitfire!
Great maiden!
I will also make a maiden flight of the Avios Spitfire.
Is the genuine 60A ESC enough?
I'm worried.
Thank you Antonio! I can honestly say it is damn sexy and I see no reason why the ESC should have any issues. It has worked flawlessly for me 😀
@@GBLynden Thank you for your reply :)
You are most welcome and good luck on your maiden!
Zhou, nice flight yet to maiden mine, what C rating battery did you use? Thanks for your response.
Hi Graham! I used the battery I showed at the end of the flight, which I have linked in the description. It is a 60C pack.
Hi nice flying dude, what rates did you use on this flight.
Thank you! I just added all of the radio settings I used on the maiden flight to the video description. I can't remember if I used high or low rates during the flight, since I have maidened quite a few other things since I did this one lol
What impresses me most is the video quality. What camera did you use?
Thanks Dennis! I get asked that a lot, so I have included links to the specific camera and SD card combo I use in the video description. Both items make for high a quality video or not lol
Very nice flight of that large Mk.V! I actually wanted to update you on that discussion we had a few months ago about the Seafire.
I never ended up getting the Seafire, but just today I finally ordered the Durafly Spitfire Mk.24. It is coming next week, though I probably won't be able to fly it in the spring.
This is my first large scale RC plane (I'm coming straight from the E-Flite UMX warbirds, such as the P-47 and P-51D), and this is my first plane on 4s. Are there any tips for a new large scale pilot? I am definitely a bit nervous but very excited about my new summer before college toy.
I salute your bold move and thank you for your compliment about my video with this Big Beautiful Spit! Regarding your question about the plane you ordered, it will be very different from those UMX planes you normally fly. Landing is by far and away going to be the biggest challenge. In the air will be easier if you can quickly adjust to the speed you need to be flying to keep it from stalling and falling out of the sky like Bill did with his. I have a video of that one crashing and exploding on impact. He likes to fly too close to the stall speed and because of it crashes planes all of the time. Learn from Bill's mistakes and use good throttle management. When it comes to landing, your required approaches are going to be much farther out than you will probably expect. You will need to bleed off speed enough to land but keep up enough speed for a decent rollout on the narrow landing gear and not stall.
@@GBLynden Thank you for your reply! I have seen Bill's video where he crashes his Spit Mk.24. He was flying on the edge of a stall the whole video, I will make sure to keep speed up, save for when I'm landing. Otherwise I don't think actually flying it will be the problem, I'm confident with my UMX P-51D and have no trouble with four channel, and I actually expect this to do better in light wind. The tricky part of flying this will be that the field I fly at doesn't have pavement to land on, the landing will be on baseball field dirt (though do you think it can handle landing on grass or belly land? Probably no without breaking the gear or prop with both of those). If all goes well this will make for a very exciting summer, I hope to do the first flight over my winter break later this month. I will be sure to upload the maiden on my channel.
I am glad you found it helpful. Unfortunately, that plane is a bad choice to take-off and land on grass. Given the retracts, and exhaust on the bottom of it, that plane will not make a good belly lander. I highly recommend finding an open parking lot of development to fly off of with that plane. If you live in a densely populated area, then find a local flying field with a paved runway. It will open your world to a number of different flying options. As far as flying in the air goes, just expect everything to happen faster than it does with the UMX P-51. Once it is trimmed, it should be fun to fly and the lights are pretty awesome!
@@GBLynden Thanks again. There is a smaller field nearby that I can take off and land from the parking lot so I'm considering that. I'll keep you updated as it goes. Thanks for the tips and quick responses!
You're welcome brother! I just be sure that there is a lot of open space to setup your approaches. I am sure you know this too, but never with the wind at your tail. A plane with poor ground handling that that one needs to be landed into the wind to help produce the best possible landings. You will have fun if you stick with your fundamentals though :)
Cool video and hey I was wondering were I can buy those type of RC planes in store or like do you buy from Amazon and also what do you recommend for beginners Into buying planes.
Hi Kevin! I buy different planes, different places. Every video I make, I include links to where to buy the product in the description. Sometimes that does include Amazon actually. I recommend clicking on the Amazon store link in the description of this video and find the section called learning to fly. There are lots of good trainers in there that are also fun to fly. Let me know if I can help you at all :)
Thanks for the replay
You're welcome!
Check the rudder two top clips that hold the rudder into each hinge it should not just pull out like mine has done and will not fly it until the the robart hinge conversion is complete. see rc groups second to last page.
Thanks Shane! I did see your post and double-checked mine before the flight and everything seemed nice and tight. I am really sorry that yours had that issue.
I vant my boryd!! Iron man 2
This is an amazing RC Plane 😀
thanks for posting. some thoughts. pros: good looks. CONS: every aspect of design, of this 80-year old warbird, is ANTIQUATED. cheers googletranslate
