Rich, very thorough review as always. Love this PC-21. Excellent tip on the elevator servo horn linkage. I do that on all my control surfaces for precise throw, and lessen load on servos.Can you confirm unlimited vertical on this one? Certainly look like it from the pull up from slow pass.
Almost... the 5 blade prop has a lot of traction and it pulls well going straight up.... It would have kept going up, but i had to pull the power to get it to come down:)
Nice flying as always Rich. I pre-ordered mine as soon as they announced it. Now if that boat would just hurry up and get here.
Rich,
Awesome flight inspite of the wind. Nico did a respectable job following your flight. Any more planes in the hanger for us to see? :-)
Another great video review!
Nice review Rich, been looking for a new plane, think I found it.
Hi Rich, loving the new age aircraft by FMS! I had the old E-scale version which is the same size but was ALWAYS plagued by crappy mechanical retracts and massive prop torque roll. Does this aircraft have issues with torque roll??? It's intact how I lost my model. Rolled inverted I take off and it lifted off hard to the left and smashed on a high roof. Never saw it ever again.
This one is much bigger than Escale (Escale length 44", span 36"; FMS length 48.5" span 44"). FMS wing has been lengthened to mitigate effect of torque roll. Rotate gradually after sufficient speed on take off and you will do fine.
I did not experience any bad habits with this plane.
sorry the typos were very bad in that post haha!! Well I may just look to buy one when they become available :) Thanks
Nice flying. Kind of a tight airfield and wind doesn't help. I just ordered this Pilatus and then lost my favorite plane to an ESC failure the next day. Didn't crash, but plane went up in flames after landing. Heard LiPo blow off a minute after fire started, so it had to be ESC not battery that started fire. I ordered a Castle BEC to handle Rx power when I ordered the Pilatus. Any issues with that 40 ESC heating up? Should I swap it for something a little beefier? Crashing is never good, but losing a $600 plane, $200 bat, $30 wheels to fire means no salvage, no repair/rebuild. I'd far rather spend a little more on ESC than risk another total loss like that.
Chris Davis Very good thinking! I did the same thing! I threw in a 60amp FMS ESC I had laying around & I made the recommendation directly to the factory to use at least a 50amp. They advised me that the 40amp is really a 50amp, but I put in the 60 because I was going to be flying this plane hard:)
I have a spare EFlite 60 here that I think I'll put in the Pilatus.
Chris Davis that should work! :)
Did you CG at the factory recommended 90mm?
Do you think this will work well off of grass? The wheels are small and like a jet, it has a slight nose down AoA on the ground which proves to be an issue off grass strips.
Hi nice video I just bought this plane but I think that for the motor propeller and battery the 40 amp esc is in the limit what do you think about it?
I preferred a larger ESC, However the load should decrease in flight as the plane flys faster!
With an amp meter it is within the ESC rating at full throttle
Hi Rich. Rich please make a video on how to do those perfect ailleron rolls. Videos on how to do maneuvers. Pleeease!! Is it gonna be available from motion rc?
Great flight and lovely model. I'd definitely be interested in a 1400mm version!
This one is as long as the 1400mm Mustang. Good luck waiting for foam PC-21 with 1400mm wing span. Will need to be over 1700mm long and cost too much to produce.
The Sebart 50E PC-21 built-up model has a wingspan of 1.5m and a length of 1.66m. Scaling that down to a 1.4m wingspan model will require a fuselage length of just over 1.5m. Some recent releases from the likes of E-flite (Carbon Z T28) and Freewing (Mig21 and F104 90mm) have fuselages that are longer than that and show what is possible. A larger model will also offer larger wheels that particularly in the case of this model will suit those who fly from grass strips. Perhaps you are right and the engineering and economics won't stack up, but no harm in asking!
+Michael Cuthbert I actually have the Sebart model, great flyer but not true scale. Both wing cord and span has been widened to make it easier to fly, the FMS one also. I'd prefer true scale proportions on foam models. Given the relative obscurity of PC-21 and little operational history, foamie manufactures are not likely to risk a large investment on a bigger model. Unless of course if this one sells like hot cakes then their could be hope.....
Yea, its really not a 1100mm model.... it is more like a 1200mm model. Proportionally most planes are shorter than their wingspan.... The PC-21 is the other way... the fuselage is longer than the length of the wing span... fuselage is 1235mm long
Point taken. Rich, is this model capable of operating from a well mown grass strip, or is it really more suitable for tarmac?
That Field looks like R.C.A.C.F in Apopka florida .
Super flew What did you set at Expo% on ailerons and Expo% elevators?
zero expos....
ok
HI Rich,
I haven't flown mine yet. I did have a question on the c/g.. It seems to be way off from where the battery is supposed to go based on the battery straps. To get the proper c/g I had to move the battery 4S way forward to comply with the c/g noted in the instruction manual.
Where did you place your battery? Thanks,
Yes, move it as far forward as you can while still using the two straps. I also added one ounce of nose weight just behind the spinner and it flys great... I will put out a video shortly showing this.
What happened to your review of the typhoon? I cannot find it now?
How does it compare to the P-38, in the video this seems much slower. (or if you want wing to wing then the Super Corsair)
Hi I have a umx timber and I can fly it pretty good and I only have a fairly large park would this be a good plane would love a response thx.
How fast would you say this plane goes.
I would estimate in the 70mph range. I still have mine that i fly at airshows... Here is a link to get the model directly thru amazon: amzn.to/347P1dE Thanks for watching my videos. If you should decide to get one, Please consider Buying thru my Amazon affiliate page with this Link: amzn.to/347P1dE It does not cost you anymore and it does pay a small referral fee to RCINFORMER and helps me pay for the expenses to run my site:) All my videos are always free to everyone! Thanks again! Rich
does this need elevator mixed with flaps on?
Loved It! What is the plane made of?
Joshua Durban EPO foam...
Yea nice plane but can it take of grass?
Very short grass
Awsome thank you for the quick response
Mine is very tail heavy as well. How did you mount the weight in the nose? I set an ounce in the fake air intake and it was still tail heavy.
I removed the spinner and added the 1oz weight inside the fuselage, around the motor, just behind the spinner.... ADDITIONALLY, the position of the proper horn hole for the elevator push rod "Z" bend is extremely important... if it is in any hole other than the inner hole of the SERVO HORN, the pitch control will be very sensitive... the Elevator only needs to move a VERY small amount.
Thanks
it's going to take 2-1/4 ounces to get the balance right. not very well designed.
Dean W Mine needed only 1oz... what size battery are you using? be sure you shift the battery as far forward as you can on the straps.... it flies Rock Solid!
My battery is an Admiral 3600 4s 40c
what you have to% to Expo it applied to the aileron or else what?
Hows this do with grass ops?
Nice plane. But why so expensive?
$240 is not expensive at all for a receiver ready model....
Is what a FMS' 1400mm plane used to cost
The planes used to be made cheaply, costs were lower and quality was not as good... The planes are NOW made of much higher quality/precision, much stronger & powerful, and with greater scale fidelity.... costs go up with quality
i think the nose gear door isn't corectly close, check the 4:00 miute
I bought this model 2 weeks ago, the battery bay is not proper with the CG. the result is tail heavy and I crashed $280 bucks plane , so sad
SOrry to hear it:( I had indicated in the video that I added some nose weight & to move the elevator control horn to the inner most horn hole so that it is more controllable. it is at 1:20
@@RCINFORMER Yeah I just watched this video, and got that information :(
This aircraft has a very long fuselage, especially the nose. The saddest thing is, I can't fit my 4s 3300 mah battery to the front of fuselage. Because the more forward, the space is gettin smaller and the battery cant fit inside. FMS should calculate this isn't?
with a very long nose, the battery bay should moved forward to achieve a proper CG Setup.
Technically, it flies. but a very tail heavy plane is hard to control. I tried to save the plane, but it way to fast!
when approach, of course we need to slow down. but every time I decreased throtlle, it Stall!
then when I increased throttle, the landing will not possible because it way too fast. Flap doesnt help at all, it makes worse.
finally I just landed it anyway.
and it stall, then flip over. I dont see too much damage on the landing gear, but the front nose is shrinked little bit. I thought it absord all of the energy and Im happy because the spar inside was strong enough agains the force. If this were a depron plane like flite test I think my plane would be turned into a pieces.
and for elevator, I use expo 30%. that is the same way to do right?
to limit the throw of control. could be done by setting up your expo or by using inner horn hole to limit the throw.
Im sorry for this long story, but I just want to share my frustation.
after some repair, she will be in the air soon!
wish me luck.
