    ....thanks again for a thorough review of the Durafly MFX Racer.....whenever i am in the market for another rc aircraft.....i ALWAYS go to your index of videos first knowing you will have a thorough review especially the page with the specifications which none of the other rc reviewers provide....so i screen shot that page to save for future reference....thanks again!!

      I just ordered the MFX Racer thru your link....however it linked to the green version for $139 which is out of stock (as of the date of this post) so I searched for the orange version and it was on sale for $109.99 which I purchased...hope you get credit for this sale.

    I have the Goblin and boy does that get my adrenaline pumping. I'll have to admit that I have a SAFE Rx in it, full SAFE for launches and 60 degree limited envelope for racing. I struggle with orientation and this thing is really fast on top of that. Surprisingly the Goblin has plenty of room for the Rx and I use 4S 1400 batteries. People are amazed that the little prop hauls it around so quickly...and the sound 🤟.

    • @ModelAV8RChannel
      @ModelAV8RChannel  5 месяцев назад

      Yes sir the little Goblins are very cool looking, and quick! Nothing wrong with using AS3X when you want to. I would have if there was room. Luckily it is pretty solid as is! Oh and yes...the sound of a speedster is infectious!

    Not a new plane, but I'd love to see you do a review of the E-Flite V900 on 4S, 2200mAh G2 battery. I have this one and it is (for me) a booger to launch. Great flying Adam!

    I have the bigger EFX Extra. Very fun plane and this one looks to be equally good (better power to weight ratio as well i imagine). Should sell extremely well. I love the sound of a screaming high kv motor with small prop!

    I was able to install an AR630 upside down to the top just behind the hatch. It definitely did not need to stabilization. Although the new as3x+ with this plane might be a nice benifit. I did end up finding it nice to use the extra couple channels to set up for flapperons for shorter landings.

    • @ModelAV8RChannel
      @ModelAV8RChannel  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yep, I knew somebody would find a way. I'm looking forward to playing with the new AS3X+. I have the RX in one of my Extreme Flight Edges updated to that so I can learn how to use the new tuning options.

    I noticed this plane came in quite a bit heavier than Durafly has listed on their website. They list a flying weight of 320 grams. Adam's plane weighed in at 418 grams, with the recommended battery and no gyro. I'd sure like to see someone check the speed.
    Any guesses? It sure looks fast, and what a great RC paint job. Thanks Adam.

    • @ModelAV8RChannel
      @ModelAV8RChannel  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yep I think that was a misprint. The RTF weight on the website is actually what we got for the empty weight. I don't have GPS on this one, but based on what I've seen on other speedsters I'm guessing 90 to 100mph. In my experience the small ones look a little faster than they are actually going. Perceived speed is greater. Thanks for watching!

      Yeah no idea when parts for that specific plane may be available. I do know they can only use so much tooling on the production lines at a time, so making parts for dozens of different planes takes a good bit of time. You could repair it. Foam can be fixed, and aftermarket props and electronics are readily available. Half my hangar are planes that have been out of production for a long time, so no parts available. I still keep them flying. Sometimes a little modeling goes a long way.
