Hello from an S24 Ultra user in the future 😆, who came here via Note 4, S8 and S10. Great phones! Video quality has always been great in your content.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, I'm seriously considering the S24 Ultra, but no external card option, so how the heck am I gonna do it!?!?! I need 400GB just to get back to where I am, then if we would film on it, that's another many, MANY GB's of memory...this has been driving me nuts. Wish they'd get that feature back.

[@ScottCookseyModandTraFlyTying]

Im a sub for all the channels you mentioned and I just wanted to say this. The RC Saylors just literally fly the plane and take the affiliate link cash and they are done, that will lead to "one and dones" all day long and is damaging the hobby. There is no instructional contents at all. They do top ten beginners planes but dont show people how to do the simple (at least it is to me now, thanks to you) things like, binding, building, repairing, radio progamming, charging the batteries, finding the CG and a whole host of other things which beginners really need. I just feel they are more interested in selling the plane than selling the hobby. I think thats the most succinct way to describe your fantastic work. You sell the hobby, the Saylors sell the plane. I feel your content is more valuable to the hobby as a whole. When I started I had had a fifteen year break from RC cars using 27MHz futaba radios and crystals. 2.4GHz and also 868MHz were alien to me. We were using NiCad batteries and brushed motors, you get the picture. I always wanted to fly aircraft but it was way out of reach then for me. You introduced me to the Volantex/Eachine P-51 and I realised that it was attainable to me. I moved onto other more hobby grade models like the UMX Timber which basically helped me to learn to fly manually. I then got the 1.5m Timber which your videos showed me how to build properly. The only thing I do differently to you is I went the OpenTX route rather than Spektrum. I'm heavily into FPV planes too (which OpenTX is almost a must for) which is different but you helped me add LED nav lights for FPV night flying (not for my benefit but for visibility by other aircraft on the whole). Where Im at now is, I have built a ZOHD Dart250G, wired it up with LEDs, a flight controller, a 4K split fpv camera, video transmitters etc, programmed it using iNav with telemetry on screen just like a jet fighter HUD and flying it long range out to 5 miles, sometimes at night (not your thing I know, but the basics started with you) A massive thanks to you and Meghan. A Paypal donation will be coming soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family too. DONT CHANGE A THING. KZbin BE DAMNED.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Your comment is very much appreciated! We work really hard to do all the things you said, and we DO want to sell planes too, but never to the detriment of the hobby, and it's reassuring to hear that you and others are seeing this. You know from your short 15 year break...when you came back, it was almost unrecognizable! Same for me, except I was only watching my Dad fly 20 years ago ;) So glad you're with us, and thanks again!

[@waynemiller6070]

You folks are really helpful. Batteries were very foreign to me and I'm grateful that you go over this stuff with some regularity. Same with the radios. After seeing the same things in many of your videos, it's becoming easier and easier to understand. I've watched hours of your videos on planes I have no intention of ever assembling or flying, but the process can be used from model to model so the information is good! You are very good teachers. Thanks for the help.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! Glad you're here now ;) Welcome!!!

[@DontWatchProductions]

Brian, I agree on the squishy tires. You can't even find them they're all rock hard. I fly on the same dirt road I grew up on and we always deflated our bicycle tires to improve the ride. Im thinking of making a circle pattern on CAD, then drilling large holes in the tire to see if I can soften them up. There are also chemicals that will soften foam, but that's just experimenting.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I did that once only by hand ;) Worked okay...

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Brian, Megan. All what you do don't go un noticed. Lot of sacrifice it takes to make what you do look so easy. Remember this. DONT FORGET TO HAVE FUN. TAKE A VACATION. I know quite a few, what some would call "influencers" -personally. Everybody has their thing. I knock no KZbinR at all. All work hard in the RC business in their unique ways. I support all that I can when I can. The thing you mention about life being short is REAL. I lost my Mother to Cancer just before Thanksgiving this year. There are other folks I know that have had similar experiences as mine this year. Give the kids and your four legged kids a hug for me. Family is precious. Hope to meet you fine folks someday. Remember, I mentioned this before. The invitation is still there.... You are always welcome to come to Triple Tree Aero (home of Joe Nall) here in Woodruff, SC. All you need is to bring the clothes on your back. I got the planes, radio, battery, etc.... :-)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks, and I too lost my Mom to Cancer, only I was about 10 years old. Time is NOT on your side, so we have to make the most of it. I'm at PPG training this week ;) I kited my paraglider back and forth up and down the field and was able to reverse without major issues. I got dragged once - that was "super fun" - LOL, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Anyway, Joe Nall would be real cool, but don't know for sure if we're going to be going or not. Megan and I are looking at the possibility of getting an RV Style camper trailer, so we can take advantage of some of these events. How cool that would be! But realistically, probably won't happen so long as I have to report to my "day job"....even though I have 5 weeks of vacation, I still have a really hard time getting far enough ahead to take more than a week or so "off from KZbin".

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I think 6S is INSANE amounts of power!

[@ukmitch86]

If you ever hanker after more power, I think people generally move too quickly to 5S and 6S packs. I fly on 3700 60C 4S - just a little number crunching and you see it can deliver 220A. I've seen reports of the rudder being pulled off if you run 5S on the standard. I wonder what output power that was propped and motored for. I think the standard is around 600W.

I have the original Husky and am impressed with performance on 4S. Dubros would be nice in 4.5 to 5" size. Appreciate all the time you put in. I get it how difficult it must be with work and hobby competing...oh, and parenthood. You are filling a necessary gap for these companies, one they should be filling quite frankly. People need to see the details to make a good decision. If I could offer any advice to you at all, it would be that suggesting a taildragger as a first plane really should happen only with understanding take off roll dynamics prior to first flight. Keep up the good work. Now if Northern Illinois weather would get out of this long funk!

Brian, I was watching when you said, you did not know where to find the ball link pliers. Thay can be found at most of tour hobby links. Idea for you, to use the ball link pliers to remove a link, loosen the screw till the pliers fit between the arm and the link, put the big end in and the nub on the screw and squeeze.

Should be fine on 4000mAh, but if you go bigger than I did, you may need to do a little carving...which is not a huge deal so long as you don't get too aggressive and cut through structure.

[@snoriverrc3842]

I'd tell people who consider buying the plain old 4S version, the Ultimate has significant upgrades that fix many of the weaknesses on that plane, not just power. The additional $60 gets you a far better plane, and is well worth it. Vector gyro, 6S capable, higher quality hinges, bigger metal servos, and overall better build quality. You will not be disappointed with the Ultimate.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! Glad you shared this! I assumed (incorrectly) it was JUST power system. Thanks!

[@snoriverrc3842]

@@BrianPhillipsRC the original Husky had the problem of being too powerful for its support systems. It would tear off the elevator and rudder, and strip the servos because the surfaces were too large. People would upgrade the motor and the plane would tear itself to pieces. Thats why the Special Edition was made, and the Ultimate followed that to be 6S capable because lets face it, 5S Lipos arent used much.

Hey Brian, I love the length and detail in your videos, thanks for taking the time to produce them. Would you consider a video fitting an AR637 to a Husky and see how the AS3X improves flying in windy conditions?

So something I was curious on these bigger planes is if can get by without installing the wing struts in order for easy assemble and disassemble for transporting in car trunk? Like can you just leave the wing struts off in general and be fine for flying? Looking to get a bigger plane that can break down and setup quickly

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I think some smaller models would be okay, but when they get BIG like this or the Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m you'll need them, since they're functional. If you go without, the wings will flex WAY more.

I am told the Ultimate motor is a drop-in swap, motor mount-wise on the original Husky. I would put an 80 amp ESC in as well, with whatever 6S battery connector type you like. The Husky esc is an XT60 I think, and most 6S batteries are larger than that.

If someone wants a big model that has all the STOL capabilities, this is a great choice. You didnt show the Rudder Authority this plane has, its hilarious. It will do 360 degree spins inside its own length. The wheel pants are another weak point, they often snap off on landings.

I have not, but when you do I use motor winding wire (super thin and small) and steal voltage from one of the servo wires, but then you have to buy rolls of LED's or get individual LED's and sometime need current limiting resistors.

Hey Brian, splendid video, and nice plane. My question to you is if you had the Eflite Carbon Cub, would this plane be much different? I am debating purchasing the Husky since it appears to fly so like the Cub.

I think the Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m is quite a superior plane. If you flew them side by side, you would probably agree, but this 1.8m is a GREAT plane, but it's also heaver wing loading...thus my preference to the Carbon Z. When you get a BIG and "light feeling" plane, it's a GREAT and EXCITING combo to fly. I only wish I could get my mitts on the Hangar 9 Carbon Cub SS ;)

[@matb16a]

Nice video Brian and camera crew ! whish one you prefer ,the husky or the e flite carbon z cub Brian ? :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Carbon Z Cub 2.1m, but its bigger and a long time favorite too

[@saravanankirupagaran1995]

Excellent 😍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

How do I assign Vector to a switch on my DX6 I have Bigfoot pnp and bought Vector module separate. My AR620 was already binded up with plane. Installed Vector. How do I assign vector to a switch. I tried assigning Gear channel to switch B. Gear channel is where vector is plugged in. Appreciate any help you can give me. I am trying to learn on my own but stuck, thanks.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

All you have to do is actuate the three position switch and make sure it's changing on the channel you THINK it's changing on. Watch my video and copy the part where I plug it into the AR620. Here's a trick to help....scroll once to the RIGHT and see the MONITOR MODE. If you're not seeing a change in state when you flip switch B, then look at the monitor for GEAR (Channel 5) and you'll see it go up and down as you flip the switch...NOW plug in any old plain servo and see if the servo moves...then you've got confirmation that you're actually controlling that channel...NOW plug that channel into the "SBUS/AUX" on the Vector...and you'll have control of it...BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT PLUGGED IN RIGHT....this alone might be your problem.

[@buckreynolds1779]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Once I got over my brain fart I assigned Channel 5 to switch B. Then got confirmation by blinking lights on Vector module itself and moving wings. Will further confirm tomorrow your input. I believe thou it's working. You and your wife rock sir. Thank U Channel rocks too!!!!

[@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846]

Arrows Battery? Better than the Spektrum Batteries you're always seeing you use.. ?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nope...but some people want to see how they work. Also, the batteries have been good, but I'm gonna stick with SMART packs myself ;)

[@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846]

I was just wondering .. I gave all my other older batteries to the other flight members and i invested probably $1500 in new smart packs. I truly see the difference in flight times and more battery punch. Thanks for your opinion.

[@VanDerKeelenBenny]

I realy like all you'r video's!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! Glad to have you here!

[@davidweston1031]

Mr Brian have you ever thought of having a top 10 planes for the year 2021 that we could choose from Thank you from Ohio.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That would be a cool idea.

[@johnpayne1117]

Had to readjust my aileron horns on the carbon cub. The neutral position was ailerons all the way down..

[@gregoryh4601]

Nice reviews you Do on the RC Planes. Any reason you don’t test any HobbyKing Yak 11 ? Are you under contract with Spektrum or HH ?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I used to do more Hobby King stuff, but they don't really have an amazing reputation for a good reason, and we made a strategic decision to NOT work with them when they reached out to us.

[@davidlaflam1775]

Brian do you have the e"flite 2000 mm T=28 I would like to see you fly it ?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

No, but I badly want one!!!! The Carbon Z T-28 is gonna be EPIC. I've already been promised one, when it's re-released at some point.

[@cyjonzjones2762]

I put 5” air filled Dubros on mine.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

NICE! HUGE ;)

[@mattcook5302]

Hey Brian, what were the actual wind speeds you were flying in there?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I wish I could say exactly, but it was 15-25mph or more.

[@johncampagna645]

Needs a wider wheelbase but a excellent plane

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Soft tires would help a lot.

[@ADKDronesRC]

Looks like my area are you in the northeast? Anyway great video I may just build this one !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We're in Central Iowa, USA ;)

[@dandanthedandan54321]

Tune into Tokyo!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL

[@oldscratch3540]

Do you think that simulator you reviewed is good for practice? It kind of seems the same.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, but I perfer real life whenever possible....higher consequences causes quicker skill building

[@oldscratch3540]

@@BrianPhillipsRC agreed, I learned from a "Fly Away" I think I heard you use that term just recently. But learned about flying in too hi of a wiend speed. Thus the term "Fly Away" . 🤣

[@rafaeltorres2886]

I thought you have flown this one before?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Not this plane. We've done several planes similar, but not this 1.8m Husky.

[@jeremyperry6241]

does it have floats to brian?

[@RC-planes.]

This is so nice (the airplane)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

sure is, thanks!

I'll just revisit your video.

Thanks!

What is the crazy mission?

I'm at PPG training this week. I'll have more to share soon ;)

[@АнатолийМульченко]

👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

thanks!

[@seanmolloy9422]

all the new Horizon planes have rock hard tires also. maybe they will read this and fix it

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I would love it if they would, but I'm not holding my breath.

[@jimvalim1567]

Why do you never calibrate the ESC?

[@leonbroekharst4724]

Super

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

thanks, sure is!

[@bently1984]

update the nx8 firmware, use the wifi its really easy, promises its worth it for naming aircraft

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I have already done it, and reverted back to the Legacy Keyboard.

[@98-24]

Pick 1 the Husky or the Carbon Z???s

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m - All day long, but the Husky is a different plane, so make so mistake...almost not a fair fight ;) Carbon Z Cub SS bit.ly/30P5mUA Husky bit.ly/32lxCCu

[@ashtongraber6818]

Love the plane but I'm going to get the Carbon-a Cessna 150T instead.

[@ashtongraber6818]

I meant Carbon Z 150T

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Carbon Z Cessna 150T - good call ;) Carbon Z Cessna 150 bit.ly/30PJkkD

ou je peux acheter ce model avion ?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Link is in the video description.

[@kensanders2617]

I don't understand why you don't use a transmitter with higher channel number I use a 16 channel radio myself and after watching you struggle with the flaps it would have been so much easier running the servo separate just to set it up through the radio and everything would have been perfectly trim and proper with a simple radio set up. I use a radio master t16s and I love it, (shameless plug)..

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I see. Soon....more to come ;)

[@EDF_FANatic]

Can it Flat spin ?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I expect you could get it to do it, but I didn't, so I can't say for certain. Sorry about that

[@KB-kv9wt]

Okay, trying to brain storm here for a sec, oops I smell smoke ! If you unplug the flap servo that needs no adjust, sub trim the other servo, then re-plug the other servo, will it remember the old position, or the new trimmed position when plugged back in ? 🤔

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

No...if you unplug it, then move it, it'll return to the same position it started out. There's a feedback pot inside the servo ;)
