Fun review adam. I have no complaints. Theres just too many great planes out now to fly them all. I have 18 planes still in boxes in the garage. Lol. Ran out of room to build. But for some dumb reason, i still buy. Nice you included different offerings. I love em all.

This is a helpful review of some of the best RC planes for 2024.!! Your competency as a pilot and your thoughts regarding what most RC pilots can afford and would like to fly always come through in your videos. I always learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Keep up the great work, looking forward to what 2025 may bring. Thank you!!

Merry Christmas mate...... awesome planes and nice picks... here is my best flying plane...... she's an oldie but a goodie....she's a Katana by Flying Models and she sports an EME 70cc twin with an electric start...... she belonged to our flying instructor who passed away in 2022 and she has been fully recovered and now she sports the angry face with teeth (not shown in the video)... she's a dream to fly....... here is a video of her after certification.. (all crafts over 7kgs must be certified here in Oz)....... stay safe and have a great new year.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/roWuqoaDmb2bfKM

Love your channel and thanks for the review! I'm looking forward to your Avanti S with TV set up and fly video that was mentioned when you interviewed Miguel from spektrum. I just got the 18th anniversary Avanti S and I'm still setting it up for the Maiden but I want to see all the videos and info I can get on it. When can we expect that video? will you show how to set up the TV with a gyro on it? Thanks in advance.

🫡 Excellent work, glad to have found your channel a few months ago. Agree 100% on the J-3, assembled mine on Mon. Just wanted to add, the PNP tail wires are now Ready To Install - no crimping required! Only needed 2-3 turns for proper tension. Can’t thank you enough for posting a separate still slide with all the CG, radio setups etc. My Avios Super Tucano maiden was amazing!!! Happy Landings! 😎

Great choices. So happy we have the options in 2024 where making money NOT in model air planes is probably easier. For me its the Turbo Timber SWS followed by the Super Timber. I own both, I'm a sucker for STOLs/Timbers and those two offerings are outstanding.

EDF Learn to Land comment: From what I've seen at my field this year, a number of members have come to the conclusion that the F Series of jets have a steep learning curve to landing. What this actually means is that by the time you learn how to land some of these F planes you need to replace it. Learning to land usually means broken landing gear, broken wing tips etc. By the time you learn how to land, the plane is a bit of a mess.
@ModelAV8RChannel20 сағат бұрын
I think it depends on the process. Yes, when pilots try to figure things out on their own it doesn't go as well usually. Proper instruction on different types of planes and the techniques required to fly them, and using certain sport jets to learn on first can save a good bit of frustration. Having as little success learning a new plane as you describe is usually caused by either making too big a jump from one airplane skill requirement to the next or improper guidance/lack of guidance. Full scale pilots don't tear up planes going from one type to another...they get instruction in the new type. RC pilots can do it that way as well. Choice is theirs.

Great work you've done here. The second half of 2024 has to be the best flying I have ever done since starting in2022. I've tightened up my build/assembly craft, upgraded radio and receivers, purchased planes to help me be a better pilot instead of purchasing planes for cool wow factors. I have the Eratix as my warm up plane, the twin 40mm SU57 and new in December, the Flyfans twin 64mm SU27. Putting time in the Eratix really helped improve my orientation, stick movements, hand/eye coordination. I fly with so much more confidence and enjoyment now. Since I'm not killing planes like the past, I'm starting to see all the differences in Prop planes, EDF's. I joined AMA and a local field where I can fly and learn in a stress free environment instead of flying commando in a Mall or warehouse parking lot. Let's go 2025!

Thanks man! Sounds like you are well on your way! Using a 3D profile plane to increase skill is something we teach in our Becoming A Better RC Pilot instructional video. 2025 will be a great year for you...enjoy!

Thanks! Actually we thought about it but the Porter was the only new scale (ish) Bush plane we flew/filmed this year. It is very good, but not outstanding to the point of a single honorable mention. I flew the Norden a couple of days ago and it is Awesome. We still have to get out and film it so we won't release a Vid until 25'. It will for sure be on next years list. The Norden is a game changer with the P STOL flaps and slats. I'm excited to show what it can do as a STOL/Bush plane.

Happy New Years, Model AV8R Crew! I like my Micro Draco so much, i had to buy another. Its great for the beach, the lake, the woods, even the road in front of my inlaws with over head powerlines everywhere. So many awesome choices from '24. Can't wait to see what's released in '25! And after so many seasons searching, it looks like our team has finally found the QB of the future! Here's to the exciting things to come in '25. And maybe even seeing Nix break a few of Old #7's receords some day 😊 Oh and tell Bubba to quit messing with the teleprompter- Integral... sheesh! 👍

I think the only new model I bought this year was a £57 Twister Ninja helicopter for indoor fly ins! However, I have got my hands on a used 2.0m balsa B25!!! No instructions, wires everywhere, some weird homemade wiring connector, total confusion. I am planning on many labels and quick connectors (as there so no way I can store or transport it in one piece) and putting it on ELRS, but only when access is allowed to the dining table as nowhere else has the room to work on it! And no, I never built that OMP Decathlon! It's turning into a running joke now. I should learn that more hobbies than time and bad time management make a poor combo! Your J3 looks sooooo much better than the VQ models 1.6m one I have ... I think VQ just reskinned their Super Cub and provided cylinder heads for the nose as it just looks wrong from firewall forward.

I should , but have not gotten either of the balsa planes , timber or cub yet ……….
