do have to plug in the battery into the receiver? Someone help me out.

Hi M. Newton, I’m trying to connect my vtx AKK K31 40 Ch 600 mW and runcam in to speedebee but I don’t have video, I’m having power but no video. Ilook in to inav to see if I have to activate something but don’t find nothing so far. I can see there UART but don’t see on with one i’m connect or how to activate it. Thank you again and have a nice day.

Fantastic Andrew. Excellent video

Another craptastic pile of packaging material.

Just bought one for shits and giggles down the local park. Cheers pal 👍

i was thinking about pulling the trigger on it at $80 but at $120 think I'll pass but thanks for the review, i'll keep it in mind for when it goes on sale....

Please tell me why it is impossible to configure the timer to start in EdgeTX when the gas stick is raised up? this works great in OPEN TX.

Looks like a nice little model and thanks for the demonstration of how well it files. On the BG site is is at 126 bucks US and that really is a lot for just a tiny toy. If they ever marketed one without the controller and way cheaper it may be fun to try using a multi protocol radio that most of us have these days.

A great flying field you found for this mini-fun cub. Paired with a Radiomaster Pocket radio this TopRC Cub could offer lots of learning potential. Nicely reviewed.

Nice to see you finally getting down to our level, Andrew! 😉 This 1 isn't too bad. A pity that the Mid Mode is a little more restrictive than the Volantex Sport Cub 500 - no loops! But (until the Volantex one is sold with the clear-canopied Mini Warbirds upgraded features) it should find a market with the kids and Old Farts. Waiting on the pre-ordered 1s brushless Mustang from Volantex to be shipped - IF it ever is! 😱🙄

One those nice relaxing fun little planes. It appears they put a decent landing gear on that one for taking off the grass. TopRC makes some pretty good planes. Nice Review Andrew!

It's adorably cute. Slightly ironic that it's designed as a trainer - in the old-school high-wing, generous-dihedral sense - and yet still comes fully stabilised. With today's clever flight tech a raw beginner could buy and fly almost anything, from a Spitfire to a stealth bomber, and expect to take it home in one piece. They wouldn't learn much about flying, but maybe that's seen as a positive thing when getting a phone-app to do the hard work for you is all the rage. Before gyros, building or buying a Mustang or MIG as a 'trainer' would have been a recipe for disappointment. A beginner will get a lot more useful experience from a forgiving plane such as this Cub (with or without the gyro) than from any number of 'switch it on and watch it go' low-wing or semi-scale jet fighters, even in they are more exciting to look at. Yay for old-school trainers, I say.

Love the birds whistling in the background. Thanks Andrew! 👍💪✌

Looks Nice enough and flies well too. Would be interesting to see if it will bind to Frsky on multi protocol. 👍

Very impressive for a beginner. Good review

Looked interesting with Free shipping but not with $60 on a $120 plane.

Bom dia comandante, esses avião são perfeitos pra quem tá iniciando no aeromodelismo!

Horizon sells the rebranded version

Do you think it would still be stable if you were to shorten the tail? I would like to fly it with a much lighter set up and by shortening the tail I could run a lighter battery and set up.

The X14 is a Home run, it packs so much in a compact and lightweight package and it is as capable as the flagship rados in terms of programming power. I had a Jeti and, although I loved it, I got tired of holding a metal brick that was a heat sink in the summer and a ice block in the winter. I fly gliders and the Twin protocol and receivers are a match made in heaven for these aircrafts. Also the CNC gimbals are really nice. As for Ethos, there is no need to keep constantly updating, just stay in the latest stable and bug free version and just go catch thermals!

YES..very nice optic and full automatic modes..AltHold works excelente ❤

i don't have a servo lead can i just use two channels for the ailerons

The most serious question! Will it slope? 😊

G'day Andrew, do you know if it would be safe enough to use a 6.6v life battery even though specs show max 6.5v with the TGY-iA6 receiver?

That looks like a bit of fun ;-) That indoor mode is definitely docile enough I could fly indoors during the Winter without knocking over too many lamp ;-)

Nice fun review.

LOL.... Good for young kids looks fun. I remember a time when you used to say you got flight control boards but didnt think youd use them. Now your playing with toys. Seems your really enjoying all aspects of the hobby nowdays which is lovely to watch 🙂.

Seems like an approachable option for young/new entrants into the quad flying hobby. I’d love to learn what kind of sales $ the mfg expects from a model like this one.

Nice video as always!! Have a question... what kind of radio do you recommend for inav, planes like this? Thank you

I love the look of this🎉 I have the Reptile Dragon 2 but would love to add this to the collection

I’m trying to get my first rokkaku to fly and just keep having problems.

Muito divertido!

Pretty much a quad with a fixed body . Easy to tell where the front is . Have you had a chance to fly the DJI Avata with the Motion Controller 2 ?

Apart from the little brushless motors that one really doesn't have a lot going for it Andrew. And I'm assuming that the associated ESCs are all on the flight board? EDIT! Or maybe not? There is 1 report of a melted front motor mounting arm cover that probably covers an ESC! 😱 Your take on that little (un-re-branded) Horizon Hobby X-Cub might be a bit more interesting! 😉😊

Wonderful! I want one..... Is it throttle on left stick or right stick?

I snorkelled into that cave in the 80s

range test is the most important thing in my opinion! Yes, of course including that it performs the servo commands!

Wonderful review and beautiful flying. Very convincing for sure.

Nice commentary. great filming and flying. Thanks. 🇬🇧

Great video!!!

Very nice VTOL experiment(s). Think as you noted, larger control surfaces might be required. Of the tail-sitters I've seen, ones using servos to pitch motor up/down seem to have better hover control. Tail-sitters using only flight controls, tend to have issues descending. Have to descend slowly, or the downward motion seems to cancel out prop wash over wing/controls, diminishing their effectiveness.

I have a 7.3V battery pack with only 2 wires coming out (plus, neg). How should I power receiver?

I’ve been wanting to try this. Could you post your diff file?

What kind of g forces were you expecting for gods sake

I wonder how this compares with dRehmFlight? Check out the video: Taming the Tail-Sitter: Hover to Forward Flight Explained and he shows that he can make a tail sitter that transitions from hover to level flight and back to hover again.

Always a pleasure Sis Andrew I totally agree with the control surfaces If you have the space, hang your wing with some string and experement to see how balanced your aircraft is to see if its left or right side heavey

It goes from hover to wing good . I can only guess at how my landings would lol . Have a blessed day my friend .

working on this atm with a penguin. I got it to a pretty ok hover now. Still working on the transition in higher winds.

When you set everything up it would be a giant leap for man kind “VTOL Development” ,I hope you teach us how to set everything up, keep up the good work 💪🏼

Beautifull 👍🇧🇷🇧🇷
