Your wife indeed does a really good filming. Melts my heart to see such a happy couple, nice to hear that she helps you with your hobby. Amazing relation.
I did some modifications on mine switching receiver to an AR630 and an Avian ESC and now it's the best flying machine I own. So light airframe and I can go on all day doing aerobatics with the smoothest starts and landings. Not to mention it looks so cool with that 4 bladed prop.
@@BrianPhillipsRC No flaps. It would have been really short flaps and besides she flies slow as she is. But I did add LED the other day so a pretty sweet bird now and man it's fun to fly.
Thanks for sharing as usual with your entertaining videos. I flew this one yesterday and was really surprised by how nice and slow it floats through the air. I expected landings to be harder but into the wind and with a bit of speed it was rather good.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Does a 3s battery solve the problem? Thinking about getting this plane as I dont want to shell out for a UMX P51 as I'd have to get a new tx
Great advice, you've helped my success and enjoyment of this model. My local areas are all grass fields, too rough for any wheel roll. So this has taken it's toll, overstressing the landing gear mounts (and one prop). I wish to design a replacement for the rigid gear with more spring to absorb the touchdown using skids instead of the front wheels that could keep the prop up and bounce off the grass. Any thoughts or examples? Thank you for all your effort!
You can also fly these quite well without the nose cap and with only two blades!!! It still flys fine. The one thing I don't like is this up and down wobble that happens on intermediate.
Yes 2 blade works great on these warbirds 4 props is extra 3 prop on these when one breaks makes it shake unless it’s positioned like the P39 or spitfire tri prop
I also have that model and it's very good. But where I usually fly there is a grassy airstrip and the LG broke out from the wing every time. Please, I also must learn how to land better, but how do you will reinforce the landing gears? A stick of wood and tape? Or? Thank you! You are great!

Tape is good. I use hinge tape. It has lines through it. I wonder if Bri will get shipping costs down. I really like the park flyer mustang. 😂 It's over $150 shipping cost. Because of the epidemic? Update . It has to be escorted by F16 Chinese fighter. .Embargo stuff.

Sorry Kurt for the super slow reply! I think I accidentally skipped over your comment the other day!!! My bad!

I can't believe how much easier some of these planes are to fly with a proper Transmitter, BUT....if you're new to the hobby, expecting someone to buy a proper transmitter, if a pretty high bar for the average consumer....so I like the RTF options for someone that's just getting their whistle wet.
Brian, you mention about an "auxiliary port" that can be used for flaps on this Mustang and the Sport Cub 500 (which I have). I'd love to add active flaps. Any details on the process and what would you use on this transmitter to activate them?
I think it's pretty straight forward. Open the plane, plug a servo in, and then actuate it with the switch on the Transmitter. IF it works, you'll be ready to cut them in, or add some split flaps :)
I don't recall, but this plane is a tough one....CG is ULTRA sensitive, and have to fly at 75% of full speed to land, but gear are weakly attached...so better be a smooth strip! Good luck!

I haven't investigated enough yet. You can turn it off with one of the channels, but I haven't done it myself. You may also need to make a THREE or more position switch. That might be why you're not having luck???? DeviationTX is way more frustrating to use than Spektrum, but I'm super bias to it as that's how I learned.
I bought the battery you have in this video .it seems a bit heavier than the battery it came with just wondering how much up elevater you had to use thanks
Brian I purchased this plane as a plug n play without the Volantex radio so I need to add my own Flysky recommended transmitter and a receiver. Do you think it will still utilize the on board gyros, and more importantly how can I switch on / off the beginner mode between inter and expert??
The onboard gyro is part of the Rx, so if you're installing your own receiver, then you will only be able to use yours. BUT I bet it will fly BETTER than the stock stabilizer.
Hi Brian, I just got one of these - really enjoying it so far. Although in beginner mode when flying straight the tail jitters up and down? Any idea why this might be? Thanks

подскажите что лучше volantex sport cub 500 или eachine mini p-51d mustang ( tell me what is better volantes sportcub 500 or machine mini p-51d mustang )
Hi Brian what is the Gyro receiver that is fitted to this plane? I bought a Plug n play when I should have bought a RTF version so I need to retrofit a gyro reciever that is small enough to fit can you take a photo of what is fitted stock please
It's a proprietary board. I don't know for sure if you can buy it separately. If I got a PNF I'd get a Lemon-RX receiver for it... ( 7Ch DSMX Rx,Stab,DivAnt amzn.to/2GTlQze / ebay.to/2XNteGf eb ) This will give you the ability to setup a better stabilizer.
When I click the link it does not show up with a clear cockpit on banggood, it shows up with the cockpit blocked out. Is that how it is for you? I want the plane but only if it comes with a visible cockpit
NIce video and review...High wing would help to protect the prop and landing gear because it i easier to fly than this P-51? Sorry i got lost i am begginer i did not get it. Thanks for the video!!
High wing makes the plane fly easier, since it wants to "hang" level (or more level). This P-51 would NOT be a good beginner plane. It's kinda "hard" to fly.
UMX Turbo Timber is amazing, and this plane is a tie for the worst P-51 I've ever flown. Don't want to burst your bubble, but this plane is the worst one... We have tons of other P-51 reviews and they're pretty much all better. This one for whatever reason, is super popular.
Also, if you're an experienced RC pilot, you could easily fly this, but you'll be annoyed with it's performance compared to an eflite 1.2m which is 100X better.
Hi, i have bought this plane. Still waiting for the package (ordered in April!) I see no spare parts only the props and banggood and Ali, bit disappointing tbh. I have ordered the 850mah batt you recommended as well. Did you manage to fly this plane with 3s already?
I don't have any plans to use a bigger lipo. Sorry you've been waiting for so long. That seems like longer than it should be. Maybe you should talk to Banggood and see what's going on.
Question. Would this be a good plane to put a AR620 in? I’m not worried about flight modes because I’m not a new pilot and don’t “need” auto level and would just be wondering and maybe you can keep the modes.
I have this plane and I dont recall seeing a separate gyro board in it... it appears all built in to the receiver. So, if there's not a satellite type hookup jack (like Mr Phillips showed on the OMP planes the other week), then you'd have to remove the stock receiver (w/it's gyro) to add in your AR620. If I remember when I get home from work, I'll open mine up and see if there's any marked port/jack for satellite type receiver hookups. ETA: when I say 'satellite', my understanding in this context is that this is a 'secondary' receiver on the plane, piggy-backed off the primary one... not a 'GPS device'. If that understanding is incorrect, forgive me...call it whatever it should be called then. I am just referring to the notion of a 2nd receiver being connected up. It has a 5th servo connx, maybe that can be used for a piggyback receiver?.. I have no idea. I'm not real versed in the tech details..the manual that comes with the plane is very thread-bare. The servo connectors are the normal 'JR' style I think?.. the black, thin 3-on-a-line orange-red-brown wire-colors type we're all used to.. which would plug in to any normal 3-pin-per-servo receiver. I have never used s-bus, so can't speak to that, but if you're an s-bus guy, you surely would already know how to convert a 3-pin servo plug to use for s-bus.
jamesohoh7 Wow thanks for the help, I’m not sure. I’m not worried about the “AS3X” as you may call it. I like planes with no stability because I’m wired... but yes I’ll have to look into it
I would NOT. This plane is not a good flyer without a gyro in my experience...there something about the size. It stalls fairly FAST, and lands even faster. If you're an experienced pilot, you could definitely do it, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Brian Phillips Thanks, I’m not a super pro flyer but my first RC plane was a harbor freight p-51 with no stabilization and I didn’t crash it 1/10 if the times. But yeah thank you just wondering!
Hi Brian, does this model volantex p51 768-1 work with 3s 11.1 800 amh 20c ? I have a lot of interest to get this model especially after I saw the movie red tail on Disney plus, jejeje, but I want to be able to fly for at least 5min.... ➕
This plane is pretty tough to fly compared to others...something about the high wing loading of the 750mm size...I don't think it's 3S compatible, and the smaller the ESC and Motor, the more likely you'll catch her on fire with a larger pack...so I'd suggest no, BUT I haven't tried it myself. If you really want 3S power, you MIGHT consider this... P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku ...which is a bit more, but a TON better. Also, this is a BNF... I just don't want you to be dis-satisfied.
@@BrianPhillipsRC. Ok, yeah.! The eflite p51 1.2m it's nice, and I got those batteries 2200amh, but I have the spektrum dx6 R.C. , For the eflite mustang will I be able to use the safety select, flaps and retract lending gear.? Thanks.
Hey Brian any chance you will get the new Eflite mustang 1.5m? I’m considering it and your videos really help me decide. Seems a while since you’ve had a medium size plane over 1m wingspan. I’d love to see you do that new 1.5m mustang!
It was somewhere around 4ish VDC per cell, so about 0.2VDC per cell...about 1/3 the normal charge after flying. Generally, 3.80 VDC is the accepted "storage" charge level, so I was surprised to see it at this higher level.
Got and built..... With the battery installed its nose heavy according to the CGS if I put a bolt at the back where the slot opening is in the underside of the fuselage the CGS level out should I add weight to the tail to get to CG to level out before I fly
That seems like a lot of nose weight, but this Volantex 750mm is not the most stable P-51 we've flown. It's been a long time, but I knew we used a bigger battery to try and get more weight up front. I'd start with a little less than your 14 grams and do a little trial and error. The CG from Volantex might not be spot on. Sorry that's not super specific, but hopefully it helps a little. Thanks for being here with us!
When I put my p51 in beginner or mid mode the rudder pulls all the way left, it seems fine in expert mode though, any ideas what this problem is trimming doesn’t seem to help
Try putting on the ground and powering it down, then plug in the power and hold the sticks down and away from each other. Soon you'll hear everything "center". I suspect this will resolve your gyro issue, but give it a try.
We tend to recommend the Volantex brand the most. They are kind of "the mother ship" so to speak and seem the have the best tech for the size class. The 750mm was NOT our favorite plane, at all. The NEW 500mm with brushless motor is excellent as well as the 400mm size. You can see all of the Volantex offerings here: bprc.me/EXHOBBY or bprc.me/Volantex_AmazonStore
Why do model aeroplane flyers like to add the word "Tip" to the word Stall to describe a Spin in stead of just using the term - a STALL or a SPIN (or a spiral dive) as in real aeroplanes ? ...... ✈ ✈ ✈
MrHelidude I believe it’s called that for many reasons. Mainly because only the Tip stalls in certain parameters. Wingtips stalk first so the plane will “roll” to the side with the stalled wing because lift is depleted. A normal stall can also Result in a roll but its not nearly as aggressive. Hope that helps
Thank you. Always hear it at model flying places. Must be an RC term as in real planes we just mainly refer to a stall as a stall (which may result in a spin - incipient spin ). www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Aerodynamic_Stall_Awareness_and_Avoidance ++ www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/2508.pdf
MrHelidude - yeah, it's a "made up" thing, but it communicates exactly what I mean to say. Stall induced spin...like the F-14 in Top Gun ;) only Goose doesn't die!
Ha ha. Thank you. I am not trying to be silly and picky but it's just that we always hear that term when someone crashes their model radio control aeroplane and always wonder why do they add the extra word "tip" to the word stall.. We don't hear that in aviation. Thank you Brian and many happy greetings ..... 🙃 Love your videos and the filming is just awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Somewhat. It's not a terrible build, but I would NOT suggest this plane. Here's a 1000X better offering...but a few bucks more, admittedly...you will thank me later. bprc.me/P51
こんにちは！ 購入したい場合は、ビデオの説明にリンクがあります。 がんばろう！ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Hi there! If you'd like to buy one, there's a link in the video description. Good luck!
I like a lot of banggood products but they are one of the worst companies to deal with they couldn't care less if you don't get your item and ignore all complaints and messages. Most of there products can be bought elsewhere which is what I do now I refuse to deal with them anymore .
I can't blame you for not wanting to do business with them, if that's been your experience. I'm sorry that your experience has been crap, but gotta keep in mind, with Chinese companies (ANY of them....) you have to take it with a "Buyer be ware" kinda attitude...then just hope for the best. I know that's crappy, but this is the world we live in :(
I agree with you Paul good prices but stuff arrives like they towed it from the tail of the plane then dropped off using a touch n go with a parachute. Anyone know of a company that use banggood that ships have way decent and not a combat drop? Thanks, Craig
My buddy, Esteban was in denial about how blind he really was, and got glasses, then he said he could see so much better that his depth perception was greatly improved....not saying that this is your problem, but might be worth looking into??? Seeing is very helpful. I have had LasicPlus twice (1st time and touch up)...as I was BLIND before (Well, not legally Blind, but almost)....Best $3,500 I ever spent! Also, a trick that works for me (most of the time) is to see an object out a waze, and then use that as a size reference...like my mailbox, or the fence post...I know about how big they are, and that tells me when I'm close. It's not totally foolproof, but it's a great way to gauge distance. Either way, I love flying, and do it a lot! Hope I'll still be flying (legally) in a few short years ;( remote ID - what a farce!!!
Great plane!! Have you thought about teaching your wife to fly and getting her opinion on your planes? If we can get more wives involved it might be better for all of us!!:)
I have and have been shut down more times than I can count on my fingers and toes ;) I'm already very lucky to have her involved to the degree that she is....most would be happy to get the spending approval I've worked out, let alone dragging her into filming and the like - I'm pretty blessed to have her around.
Sounds like my wife too:) Good luck. And thanks for all your very informative videos. I am new to the hobby and I am learning a lot watching your videos. Thanks again:)
Your videos make the hobby fun, Thank You! You mention some control oscillations, I see this on the ground and in the air (tail wagging) at times and wonder what might correct it. On the ground I detached the rudder control clevis and noticed the vibration stopped. The rudder control also has two ranges, it will go to a higher range of travel with the gyro stabilizer on. It also has some "stickiness", that is the rudder will not return to center until some yaw occurs (or control input). Here's an example of the oscillation: ruclips.net/video/poN82I_y3dM/видео.html
I've solved the tail wagging by adding adhesive between the servo board and the main wing, I suspect it was adding some oscillation feedback to the gyro.
It looked awesome in the sun ☀. Beautiful bird .

подскажите что лучше volantex sport cub 500 или eachine mini p-51d mustang ( tell me what is better volantes sportcub 500 or machine mini p-51d mustang )
Sport Cub 500 - better, but easier too. If you want more of a challenge you will want the P-51
Good morning
Does this plane offer a low battery alert?
Hi Brian what is the Gyro receiver that is fitted to this plane? I bought a Plug n play when I should have bought a RTF version so I need to retrofit a gyro reciever that is small enough to fit can you take a photo of what is fitted stock please
It's a proprietary board. I don't know for sure if you can buy it separately. If I got a PNF I'd get a Lemon-RX receiver for it... ( 7Ch DSMX Rx,Stab,DivAnt amzn.to/2GTlQze / ebay.to/2XNteGf eb ) This will give you the ability to setup a better stabilizer.
I want to buy a second battery but banggood doesn´t sell it. Can I just use the one from the sport cub 500 ?or do you have any suggestions ?
If it's the same size and capacity, that's no problem at all!
Bonjour comment étalonner le gyroscope avant le décollage merci
You don't...just plug in the battery and place it on a level surface ;)
When I click the link it does not show up with a clear cockpit on banggood, it shows up with the cockpit blocked out. Is that how it is for you? I want the plane but only if it comes with a visible cockpit
They have changed this one for years, and it's been a long time since we filmed this particular plane. It's possible they've changed the canopy.
I have been flying drone / quads for a few yrs now and want to get this one. Is it a hard transition? I don't want it to fly away lol...
It won't fly away, unless you stop flying it ;)
NIce video and review...High wing would help to protect the prop and landing gear because it i easier to fly than this P-51? Sorry i got lost i am begginer i did not get it. Thanks for the video!!
High wing makes the plane fly easier, since it wants to "hang" level (or more level). This P-51 would NOT be a good beginner plane. It's kinda "hard" to fly.
@@BrianPhillipsRC got it , many thanks!!
Great video! am an expereinced pilot. How would u compare this with a umx turbo timber.
UMX Turbo Timber is amazing, and this plane is a tie for the worst P-51 I've ever flown.
Don't want to burst your bubble, but this plane is the worst one...
We have tons of other P-51 reviews and they're pretty much all better. This one for whatever reason, is super popular.
Also, if you're an experienced RC pilot, you could easily fly this, but you'll be annoyed with it's performance compared to an eflite 1.2m which is 100X better.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for the input!
Hi, i have bought this plane. Still waiting for the package (ordered in April!) I see no spare parts only the props and banggood and Ali, bit disappointing tbh. I have ordered the 850mah batt you recommended as well. Did you manage to fly this plane with 3s already?
I don't have any plans to use a bigger lipo. Sorry you've been waiting for so long. That seems like longer than it should be. Maybe you should talk to Banggood and see what's going on.
Question. Would this be a good plane to put a AR620 in? I’m not worried about flight modes because I’m not a new pilot and don’t “need” auto level and would just be wondering and maybe you can keep the modes.
I have this plane and I dont recall seeing a separate gyro board in it... it appears all built in to the receiver. So, if there's not a satellite type hookup jack (like Mr Phillips showed on the OMP planes the other week), then you'd have to remove the stock receiver (w/it's gyro) to add in your AR620. If I remember when I get home from work, I'll open mine up and see if there's any marked port/jack for satellite type receiver hookups. ETA: when I say 'satellite', my understanding in this context is that this is a 'secondary' receiver on the plane, piggy-backed off the primary one... not a 'GPS device'. If that understanding is incorrect, forgive me...call it whatever it should be called then. I am just referring to the notion of a 2nd receiver being connected up. It has a 5th servo connx, maybe that can be used for a piggyback receiver?.. I have no idea. I'm not real versed in the tech details..the manual that comes with the plane is very thread-bare. The servo connectors are the normal 'JR' style I think?.. the black, thin 3-on-a-line orange-red-brown wire-colors type we're all used to.. which would plug in to any normal 3-pin-per-servo receiver. I have never used s-bus, so can't speak to that, but if you're an s-bus guy, you surely would already know how to convert a 3-pin servo plug to use for s-bus.

Wow thanks for the help, I’m not sure. I’m not worried about the “AS3X” as you may call it. I like planes with no stability because I’m wired... but yes I’ll have to look into it
I would NOT. This plane is not a good flyer without a gyro in my experience...there something about the size. It stalls fairly FAST, and lands even faster.
If you're an experienced pilot, you could definitely do it, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Brian Phillips
Thanks, I’m not a super pro flyer but my first RC plane was a harbor freight p-51 with no stabilization and I didn’t crash it 1/10 if the times. But yeah thank you just wondering!
Hi Brian, does this model volantex p51 768-1 work with 3s 11.1 800 amh 20c ? I have a lot of interest to get this model especially after I saw the movie red tail on Disney plus, jejeje, but I want to be able to fly for at least 5min.... ➕
This plane is pretty tough to fly compared to others...something about the high wing loading of the 750mm size...I don't think it's 3S compatible, and the smaller the ESC and Motor, the more likely you'll catch her on fire with a larger pack...so I'd suggest no, BUT I haven't tried it myself.
If you really want 3S power, you MIGHT consider this... P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku ...which is a bit more, but a TON better. Also, this is a BNF... I just don't want you to be dis-satisfied.
@@BrianPhillipsRC. Ok, yeah.! The eflite p51 1.2m it's nice, and I got those batteries 2200amh, but I have the spektrum dx6 R.C. , For the eflite mustang will I be able to use the safety select, flaps and retract lending gear.? Thanks.
nice video ;)
Thanks!
Wow its too good..how much this model?
I've got links in the description, please check there, as the prices change from time to time - sorry about that!
Hey Brian any chance you will get the new Eflite mustang 1.5m? I’m considering it and your videos really help me decide. Seems a while since you’ve had a medium size plane over 1m wingspan. I’d love to see you do that new 1.5m mustang!
I have another larger plane on my list, but not sure the timing. I'll be doing something newer soon, so stay tuned :)
How much does the 7.4 v 25c 850 mah battery that you used in this video need to charge with the charger that came in the box?
It was somewhere around 4ish VDC per cell, so about 0.2VDC per cell...about 1/3 the normal charge after flying. Generally, 3.80 VDC is the accepted "storage" charge level, so I was surprised to see it at this higher level.
Wow..how much this model?
Got and built..... With the battery installed its nose heavy according to the CGS if I put a bolt at the back where the slot opening is in the underside of the fuselage the CGS level out should I add weight to the tail to get to CG to level out before I fly
I became a supporter
I have motorcycle wheel weights????
14 grams of weight for balance on pencil balancer I made is this too much???
That seems like a lot of nose weight, but this Volantex 750mm is not the most stable P-51 we've flown. It's been a long time, but I knew we used a bigger battery to try and get more weight up front. I'd start with a little less than your 14 grams and do a little trial and error. The CG from Volantex might not be spot on. Sorry that's not super specific, but hopefully it helps a little. Thanks for being here with us!
hi brian just one question
what is the range of this p-51
Not sure, sorry. It's small enough that you'll probably loose sight of it before it disconnects from the Tx.
When I put my p51 in beginner or mid mode the rudder pulls all the way left, it seems fine in expert mode though, any ideas what this problem is trimming doesn’t seem to help
Try putting on the ground and powering it down, then plug in the power and hold the sticks down and away from each other. Soon you'll hear everything "center". I suspect this will resolve your gyro issue, but give it a try.
wich of this micro p51 Mustangs do you recomend? Volantex? 750mm? Volantex 500mm? WLtoys XK A280 560mm? don´t know wich one to buy. Thank you
We tend to recommend the Volantex brand the most. They are kind of "the mother ship" so to speak and seem the have the best tech for the size class. The 750mm was NOT our favorite plane, at all. The NEW 500mm with brushless motor is excellent as well as the 400mm size.

@@BrianPhillipsRC excellent, thanks for your exact response. fun of your channel
Why do model aeroplane flyers like to add the word "Tip" to the word Stall to describe a Spin in stead of just using the term - a STALL or a SPIN (or a spiral dive) as in real aeroplanes ?
...... ✈ ✈ ✈
MrHelidude
I believe it’s called that for many reasons. Mainly because only the Tip stalls in certain parameters. Wingtips stalk first so the plane will “roll” to the side with the stalled wing because lift is depleted. A normal stall can also Result in a roll but its not nearly as aggressive. Hope that helps
Thank you.
Always hear it at model flying places. Must be an RC term as in real planes we just mainly refer to a stall as a stall (which may result in a spin - incipient spin ).

www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/2508.pdf
MrHelidude - yeah, it's a "made up" thing, but it communicates exactly what I mean to say.
Stall induced spin...like the F-14 in Top Gun ;) only Goose doesn't die!
Ha ha. Thank you.
I am not trying to be silly and picky but it's just that we always hear that term when someone crashes their model radio control aeroplane and always wonder why do they add the extra word "tip" to the word stall..
We don't hear that in aviation. Thank you Brian and many happy greetings ..... 🙃
Love your videos and the filming is just awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
11,1 v or 7,4 ?
Not sure, it's in the video.
can i install 3S?
It calls for 3S, I thought...
Do u have to build it
Yep
Somewhat. It's not a terrible build, but I would NOT suggest this plane. Here's a 1000X better offering...but a few bucks more, admittedly...you will thank me later. bprc.me/P51
you should do a video on the Range I had the smaller version for 2 days and it flew away from me😂
Fella ThaBarber
Did you ever get it back?!
Range test is not an included feature on these awesome RTF transmitters - LOL :)
Captain John - How do you think I got mine?!??!?! LOL
theoztreecrasher - perfect directions ;) Loved it!
@@CaptainJohn no!...im just going to get another one🤘🏾
Why does it look like your house is a bit too close to the 🌞 sun???
LOL - I think it was a bit too far away in this video, since there was snow still on the ground :)
thanks for your videos please put the subtitles in Spanish to tire more people

Hi there! If you'd like to buy one, there's a link in the video description. Good luck!
I like a lot of banggood products but they are one of the worst companies to deal with they couldn't care less if you don't get your item and ignore all complaints and messages. Most of there products can be bought elsewhere which is what I do now I refuse to deal with them anymore
.
I can't blame you for not wanting to do business with them, if that's been your experience. I'm sorry that your experience has been crap, but gotta keep in mind, with Chinese companies (ANY of them....) you have to take it with a "Buyer be ware" kinda attitude...then just hope for the best. I know that's crappy, but this is the world we live in :(
I agree with you Paul good prices but stuff arrives like they towed it from the tail of the plane then dropped off using a touch n go with a parachute. Anyone know of a company that use banggood that ships have way decent and not a combat drop? Thanks, Craig
Are better pilot than I am I can't judge my distance and I've been flying for 25 years my depth perception sucks
My buddy, Esteban was in denial about how blind he really was, and got glasses, then he said he could see so much better that his depth perception was greatly improved....not saying that this is your problem, but might be worth looking into???
Seeing is very helpful. I have had LasicPlus twice (1st time and touch up)...as I was BLIND before (Well, not legally Blind, but almost)....Best $3,500 I ever spent!
Also, a trick that works for me (most of the time) is to see an object out a waze, and then use that as a size reference...like my mailbox, or the fence post...I know about how big they are, and that tells me when I'm close. It's not totally foolproof, but it's a great way to gauge distance.
Either way, I love flying, and do it a lot! Hope I'll still be flying (legally) in a few short years ;( remote ID - what a farce!!!
Great plane!!
Have you thought about teaching your wife to fly and getting her opinion on your planes? If we can get more wives involved it might be better for all of us!!:)
I have and have been shut down more times than I can count on my fingers and toes ;) I'm already very lucky to have her involved to the degree that she is....most would be happy to get the spending approval I've worked out, let alone dragging her into filming and the like - I'm pretty blessed to have her around.
Sounds like my wife too:)
Good luck. And thanks for all your very informative videos. I am new to the hobby and I am learning a lot watching your videos. Thanks again:)
Just a thought, If you ever get bored you could always change the pilot into a man of color.
That would be more historically accurate ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yes sir it would.
Your videos make the hobby fun, Thank You! You mention some control oscillations, I see this on the ground and in the air (tail wagging) at times and wonder what might correct it. On the ground I detached the rudder control clevis and noticed the vibration stopped. The rudder control also has two ranges, it will go to a higher range of travel with the gyro stabilizer on. It also has some "stickiness", that is the rudder will not return to center until some yaw occurs (or control input). Here's an example of the oscillation: ruclips.net/video/poN82I_y3dM/видео.html
I've solved the tail wagging by adding adhesive between the servo board and the main wing, I suspect it was adding some oscillation feedback to the gyro.
