Amazing FMS Rafale 64mm EDF Jet - You Gotta See This Takeoff!

[@erad05]

I liked about this video, that you showed first the flying and drone chase, which was pretty nice, and then the assembly.

[@thedroneosphere1760]

Thank you captain drone for showing more then just DJI products. You are one of few people I follow cause most reviewers seem to be more dji fans then reviewers..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you kindly!

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

Yes that first take off was awesome. Very nice jet and the video footage was great. Thanks Captain

[@dcpatters0]

The arial footage is fantastic. Another superb review. For me, just not in my wheelhouse. You guys make it look easy.

[@MrJob91]

Wow awesome camera crew and nice drone flying and editing making it look as close as a budy in chase

[@lynsmith1096]

Another good review Steve. Close 1 on the fist take off.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you.

[@SW-Video]

Steve! You have balls of steel on that first take off! Looks like a fun plane to fly and price is much less than I thought it would be.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It was all or nothing on that take off

[@crddrones3457]

So cool, one of my favorite types of PDFs

[@crddrones3457]

God bless

[@tomheetderks9997]

3:15 elevons actually ! 😄Nice flight, anxiously awaiting mine!

[@G-FORCEEE]

If you hadn't reacted on that takeoff, I would have thought that you were a highly calculated and seasoned professional Steve! 😅

[@willay747]

haha nice lucky takeoff Captain! Love your videos and reviews!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you. Yup, luck was on my side there.

[@jayzzz1234]

I had a jet similar to this about 15 years ago brings back memories.

[@mellymel8668]

Captain! Great production,,craft makes amazing sound while flying.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you

[@henrytaaffe7058]

class video captain.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you

[@eckman69]

Very nice video, your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm seriously considering getting back into this hobby, even though I trashed a fortune in edf in the past. The rafale is gorgeous!

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve.....What an Awesome video and plane. Luckily you had Jedi Steve close by to use the force to lift the plane up at that very last second of take off....LOL........👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes the Force was with me that day

[@robertkirby3158]

The ghost of James Thain, captain of the 1958 Munich air disaster with the Manchester United team on board, might be pointing out the drag similarity between loose aggregate and runway precipitation right now and wishing he had had your luck Steve.

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video and Excellent Flying. Very Nice Military RC Plane. Thank You Steve.

[@JustinTimeForAdventures]

Hmmm like a dream to be honest. Great review. Loved it and subbed it!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Welcome to the channel!

[@notoo7]

Awesome! One of my favorites, I have both the 80mm and 64mm. The 64 is the best detailed plane of it size. Not a fan of Reflex, so I am using a Spektrum receiver with SAFE/AS3x in both.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Agree, REFLEX is good, but Spektrum SAFE is BEST.

[@RC-planes.]

This video was even better, you should buy the ranger1220mm it's a fun model

[@JS_1183]

It look like a true fighter plane ✈️📷🇵🇭

[@bradfordtownsend9698]

Weak battery use 100+c rating, and use a hard cement or asphalt runway-- flying clean until trimmed and setup for stable flying and easy landings: good flare. Cheers

[@coreywilliams2322]

Nice chase footage from the drone 👍

[@franklatino692]

That plane sounds like a real jet. Is it flies by unbelievable nice😅

[@Tony13754]

Top Gun , Captain 👍 That's Amazing . . . So much FUN, Thanks 😊

[@Marcus2750-u1t]

You always have the BEST stuff on your channel and great reviews Sir! Im always impressed with your content so thank you Steve! You are the best on the toobs Sir!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you kindly!

[@hubschenk1652]

Maybe try the 80mm version of the FMS Rafale; I'm eyeing those for next spring (and the F-22 Raptor of the same size). ☺

[@HcVRGbyOB9CHK0chBKaX]

Great video from the chase drone 👍 👍 Excellent post!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

Man you gotta get some fpv planes on the channel

Very enjoyable video! in a short time you have become one of my favourite youtubers. Greetings from Hungary

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you very much!

[@autophile-cv621]

It looks like a lot of fun. The air craft looks good. I know it's too much for me. I'm still getting used to a drone. Great video!

[@Didjeridoolove]

Excellent as always Captain!!! I’m just not ready for this though. 👍👍👍….. this is just way outta my league 😮

[@bobbyedal2737]

I think you're a bit of a top gun 😃👍👍

[@Blueskyver]

Excellent demo, Steve! Love it 25+ Greetings from Montreal.

[@looneytunes47]

The Clip that hold the main gear on were designed backwards if the clip openings were facing to the back of the plane they would not break off. Plus they wouldnt grab grass when belly landing either. They screwed the pooch when they designed that part.

[@learningtoflyrc]

Thanks for making a video making me want one of those!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

My pleasure

[@michaelwhouse46]

I’ve been wanting to get a cheaper plane and put a vtx in it and fly fpv. This looks like it’d be a fun flight viewing it from the cockpit.

[@Gmiruss_FPV]

I wonder if it is possible to put an FPV camera in the canopy and fly it FPV? That would be so cool!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You certainly could

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Sounds really good i like it

[@slaughtercarterfpv1336]

Pretty scary take off but worked out in the end

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening captain really nice jet cool review

[@droningporsantander9994]

Nice plane!!

[@northdakotasirens1520]

can you review the X Pack 7 Drone at all?

[@niveketihw1897]

Decals -- Canadians say "deckles" I guess? I'm in the states and have always heard "dee-cals."

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

So many words are pronounced differently based on geography.

[@kluper1157]

Great footage!!! love it Thank you!!!! and the Discount mine is about ready to maiden!!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Excellent! Enjoy

[@ToastyNWT]

Can't wait for fms canada to restock this so I can buy one I can't find these anywhere in canada

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Really? When I made the vid, they were out of stock in Canada, then after my vid they restocked them. Are they out again? If so, the next shipment is probably not far off.

[@Stingraeee]

Subbed. Very informative review and quite well explained how to assamble this kit, i am newbie too (i'm just dji pilot) and very interested to fly this rc plane. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to wait another rc plane video from u.

I want one but can't find anywhere in the US.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

They are very popular due to the price. FMS is restocking everywhere.

[@canadiantrainperson]

Nice! I just got mine but I got a quick question. Can you use the Spektrum Dx6(e) with this, or do i have to use an Nx-8? My budget isn't that high :D Thanks!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

As long as you put a Spektrum receiver in it your current radio is fine

[@canadiantrainperson]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798Ah okay thanks. I binded my rransmitter to the plane but all the control surfaces are backwards do you know why?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@canadiantrainpersonThat can happen depending on your connects and how your radio is set up. Go to your Channel SERVO menu on your radio and simply reverse any servos that need to be reversed.

[@canadiantrainperson]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798Okay got it. Thank you! :D

[@ImperialArmour]

The FPV sounds like an swarm of angry wasps!

[@casper8857]

the only thing I don't like about a 64mm is that the wheels don't retract

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That is because the wings are too thin to support retracts. You can try adding retracts to a 64mm but it never works unless you rebuild part of the wing with balsa wood.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Really good price

[@Bass.Player]

Elevons is the word you are looking for. An elevon serves the same function as an elevator and an aileron. Gravel is a terrible surface for RC...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, I wrote the word ELEVON beside me as I was search for the term. Gravel is not my prefered take off or landing surface. Many a landing gear has been damaged due to this.

[@robertrager6793]

[@majorhavoc9693]

Do you only review Chinese manufactured rc products?

[@dronepilot260rc]

I prefer the gear to stay out and fixed lol

[@dronepilot260rc]

But imo hand tossing if my favorite way to launch and belly land. With wheels I feel too limited 😂

[@Bill14886]

$80.00 mark up on Amazon link. Screw that ! This Jet has been out of stock for quit some time. Two brothers RC pushed it hard and put on a awesome show on what it can do with a Spektrum RX in it. I’m glad to see you have no problems flying it Steve. Awesome chase with the DJI FPv and the 360 cam was cool too. Love seeing so many different ways of showing it’s habits in 😊the sky and landing. Well done. Too bad I can’t find one for $199. Gone / out of stock. Should have grabbed one while it was in stock but hesitated. Ug

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

FMS says they will be back in stock soon. Many small hobby store certainly have a few.

it's a cracker great review Steve fly's well and prise good on the pocket it's a must have darling wife wont be happy but who cares.

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

That needs landing flaps badly

[@superdon1chw]

It is weak and will never take off on grass so you have to have a street or a runway that has black top at lease

[@joec8107]

This plane flies like a pig. Heavy, underpowered 4s. Its EDF created around 900gram thrust(in plane) while plane itself is 1150gram w/o battery. You have to maintain 100% throttle all the time. flies like a pig

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

But just like 90% of 3S/4S 64MM EDFs on the market.... People love them and often just hand launch them. It is no secret that many 3S/4S EDFs at 64mm or not as fast as people had hoped. Remove the landing gear, hand launch (into the wind) & you may enjoy it a bit more.
