Ah crikey, that’s the worst outcome when they fly out of range, I’ve lost more than one plane just like that, things happen so fast with these small little planes, that’s why I put high viz tape of one side to help with orientation- Best of luck next time 👍

@@theoztreecrasher2647 hey buddy, thanks for the invite, how bout I’ll take your lead,if it’s good enough for you then it’s good enough for me - I respect my elders 🤭😎

@@rcpilots1291 🤔 Nope. always send in the Irish Guards first! 😜🤣🤣

Hiya Paul, thanks for your nice comments and ya it’s very rare to find a calm day around here lately, I live in Cork , Ireland 🇮🇪. I rely on our ‘Irish Aviation Authority’ guidelines which permit flying these little/ lightweight craft in large open areas , just use common sense when people maybe in the vicinity. Happy flying.

@@rcpilots1291 I'm in Co. Meath, lived in Co Kildare before where there were several options such as the Curragh and parks, but have yet to find anything in my new county. I only fly small foamies & helis, so joining a flying club seems a bit drastic!

@@paulcucit2786​​⁠I’m the same as you , I just like to grab a plane randomly when I’ve got a bit of time to spare. Best of luck with your search 👍

@@JordanColeman-r8w crikey, that sounds like loads of fun 🤩, I think that I’ll give that a try, thanks 👍

@@that70sgamer that’s rock solid advice, thanks for that 👍

Thank you for your kind words, tbh I’m a bit of a slow learner 🤭

It’s an elastic band I had been using to secure a little fpv cam

Hey thanks for those kind words, it was a fun project, next step is to try with 3s batteries 😅

Hi, that’s great to hear- we’ve both had similar experiences with this little beauty - it is a great intro plane to 3D , happy flying 👍

I agree with you 100%, I just need to keep the expo rates really high

Haha , yes I’d be finished without uhu por

@@rcpilots1291 I just got an A800

I agree with you 100%~ those servos are very noisy

Best of luck with your purchase. I think you’ll be very happy 👍

Thanks for your kind words, I feel the exact same as you about the joy of just watching these little birds floating in the sky with no motor . Happy days 👍

@@houndoftindalos9580 I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍

Ya I agree, I know it’s a bit of a trade off trying to keep it lightweight but for the price perhaps the cone should be a light alloy 👍

Hi Barry, thanks for taking the time to raise this very important issue. I agree that it is best to avoid flying over people. When I was training to become a qualified licensed and insured drone operator it was a topic that was discussed thoroughly during lectures. I can confirm that I was completely in compliance with aviation authority guidelines and for readers reference I’ve pasted a paragraph taken directly from easa Europe . Question-“Can I fly over people? Answer - Generally when you operate in the ‘open’ category, you are not allowed to fly over uninvolved people, unless you have a privately built drone with a weight below 250 g or a drone purchased on the market with a class identification label0 or 1 mark. In any case, try to minimise the time during which you fly over people. “ You have raised a very valid concern and I respect your comment - happy flying 👍

You're wrong. Umx planes are no different from a paper airplane. It's 100% fine to fly anywhere non-private, unless you intend to cause damage with a 210 gram foamie.

In canada, anyways.

@@rcpilots1291 RE Barry ...Common seagulls weigh 300 - 480 gms always flying in public places without insurance...know what I'd rather be hit by.

It is irresponsible people like this that are the reason regulations are enacted and restrictions are place on activities. Even with his own response to your post it shows a level of ignorance as being a "qualified licensed and insured drone operator" he quotes from a non relevant paragraph to RC planes.

“With”? Maybe a trip to the audiologist is required 😂. Point well made about flying near people. All was good flying over water but the technical glitch changed circumstances. I should have been more cognisant of the lethal capabilities of this flying behemoth. I enjoy sharing my honest flying experiences with fellow enthusiasts. I suppose it’s easier to just be ‘an armchair warrior’ … happy flying my friend 👍

No "wit", cock wit, dic* wit and fuc* wit brothers. Yep, happy flying at a field set up for it with like minded people and safety protocols and boundaries It is flying in public spaces that cause the complaints and associated problems.

@@rcpilots1291 "wit", dic* wit, coc* wit and fuc* wit. Happy flying yes in an area set aside for it.

@@rcpilots1291 Never heard of the three brothers? Dim*, Coc* and Fuc* Wit.

Absolutely right, when flying such a large/huge RC airplane/helicopter or drone it's very important that you don't fly it over people. That thing coming down at full balls could possibly injure or possibly kill an insect!!!

Ya, the 700 is a joy to fly. I had leds also which was great fun at night

Ah crikey, what a pity . It’s such a great plane, shame to have such a silly flaw.

Thanks a lot 👍

Hey mate, that’s my gaff. I had to downsize after the divorce 😂

@@rcpilots1291 👍👍🤣🤣

Many thanks for your kind words, that beach is Youghal, Co Cork Ireland.🇮🇪

@@rcpilots1291 Lucky Man.

Ya, I agree - just the right amount of power 👍

Hey that’s great news to be able to source it in Europe, happy flying

Ya it was a bit sloppy but it worked 😅

Haha Capt Oz. To be honest I did a complete butcher job using just one board with both planes wires spliced together, the batteries are stock which just about is enough power. What do you think of my 2 handed launch ? 😅

@@rcpilots1291 2 hands is best! To be sure, to be sure! 🤣🤣

Ah crikey, that must be very hard to manage which is a pity because these planes should be gentle flyers

Thanks, ya it is a bit pricey unfortunately.😅

@@rcpilots1291 It is pricey but you do get what you pay for this one ,slow glider 2s .. mini rocketship 3s... it is my only plane over £100.. but I would say HK super kinetic looks like a good budget alternative.

Thanks for that suggestion, that makes alot of sense 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi, great to hear that you enjoy this too, check out rc-castle.com 👍

Hi, great to hear that you enjoy this too, check out rc-castle.com 👍

Very kind words, thank you. If only the weather was a little less breezy. I’m mad jealous that you are an actual paramotor pilot 🧑‍✈️. Fair dues

Came here to say the same thing! 😂 🤘🏼

I’m glad you found this, it is an amazing little plane , she could have soared all day long by the cliff edge 👍

Ah crikey, that’s horrible. I’m sorry to hear that 😢

@@rcpilots1291 3 planes and car. :,(

I agree, much more to it than its size suggests, no luck sourcing other props - sorry

Would you believe that I’ve actually made a few of those Lidl gliders into Rc powered - great fun

I’m real sorry to hear about that misfortune, the radio is very basic but I’ve been lucky with my one

Ideally, level or even a slight upward angle is recommended for the 1.5 good luck

Very kind words - big thanks 👍

That’s a good point thanks , the people that I flew around on the beach are my friends that I travelled with that day 👍
