Assembly of the New HobbyKing V2 C130 Coast Guard Scheme

[@olphartcoastie8719]

Thank you. Received mine yesterday and am looking forward to assembling and flying it, along with the USCG HU-16E. I maintained and crewed on both aircraft (1504 and 7226) during the 1970s, and the 1504 in the 1980s. Also, the 1502 and 1503, and most of the 1600 and 1700 series. Semper Paratus!

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Thanks for watching and thanks for your Service

[@Mrtcoltpilot56]

Nice job as mine comes tomorrow. That's what tracking says anyway. I'll be adding some weight to mine with the sound system however will ensure CG. Nice looking plane though. Look good next to the Coast Guard JP-50 when I finish it.

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Can’t wait to see it. Hang tough buddy!!!!

[@UrTRaBBiTT]

Too many arm chair critics. It's so pathetic of people to argue about the word "Build" Seriously get a life people, Leave the man alone and appreciate the effort he has made to make these video's.

Lol thanks bro 🤪😜😝😜🤪

Sweet

[@rickwentworth6842]

Maybe a long shot here, but my C-130 just came in without a quick setup guide, do you have one to share? Maybe scan one in and share the pfd?

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Not anymore. If you go to their website and looks at this planes page it’s on there somewhere

[@rickwentworth6842]

@@JustPlaneCrazy it’s not a big deal, just like to have a complete kit.

[@RavenRockMachine]

Great job Brenden!

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Ty. Such a neat plane. I like stuff that does stuff. Lol

[@djr01974]

Now that you’ve had it a while would you recommend this? I’ve never owned a hobbyking bird. How’s the reliability of the electronics, is everything still working good?

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

lol. I have long smashed this plane. It’s fun. I flew some heavy stuff to drop and the back. The landing gear didn’t last at a field that was very rough and the plane paid for it. If u have a decent runway go for it. It’s a blast

[@rickwentworth6842]

do the ESCs support reversing?

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Not that I am aware of

[@rickwentworth6842]

@@JustPlaneCrazy maybe install 2 Avian 40a dual ESCs

I just got mine today ... Thanks for the video ... You mentioned calibration but then didn't show that step ... This is my first multi-prop plane ... So I was just curious what that calibration is/does and how to do it?

[@Airsoftaddict78]

Watching it again ... Was the calibration what you did when you powered up with throttle all the way up? If so, I was confused because the comment was made after the calibration in the vid

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

It was. Turn in the radio. Throttle full up, you can put throttle trim all the way down. Plug in the batt. After first series of beeps put throttle down. It will play a musical sequence. Then check your throttle operation

[@Airsoftaddict78]

@@JustPlaneCrazy Thanks for the clarification!

[@Airsoftaddict78]

I received mine and the outboard flap servo on the right wing was DOA ... waiting for a reply on RMA ... Curious if they will just send a new servo or if the whole wing will need to be replaced ... Nervous about trying to remove the cover that covers the wires running down the wing ... It appears to be glued in pretty well (as does the servo)

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Make sure u contact their CS

[@Mads1693]

Is the flaps operating on one switch or two? As I read the manual its on two seperate switches, in which case, I would rather have on one.. whats your thoughts on this?

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Flaps should be on a three position switch. Just one

[@Daniel_SWE]

How did you Setup the model in the DS-12?

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

You can use 1 ail 2 flap or two ail one flap and just reconfigure a channel as needed

What receiver are you using?

Just ordered one. What was I thinking. PJ-50 Coasty and now the C-130.

Sweeeet

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Woot woot. Don’t forget pics

[@Airsoftaddict78]

Did you add in any elevator correction with the flap settings? If so, how much do you use? I'm nervous about flying mine with flaps as I don't have any idea how much flap/elevator correction to add

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Very little mix. I don’t think you will need much at all

Keep me posted

[@raulmayoral6861]

Excellent video. Your teaching style makes it easy to understand all your instructions. One question; Any possibility of a U.S. Air Force version in the V2? Thanks!!

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

That would be cool but not that I am aware of. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@dwexoticmaple]

what was the name of the other foam tac glue?

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Beacon foam glue from hobby lobby. Bottle says 3 in 1

[@rcdavidk]

Great assembly video... thanks. Especially nice since the build manual isn't online yet. Great tips. What do you think the effect might be if the prop directions were changed a bit? Each side would have one standard and one reverse.

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Thanks for the kind words and watching. I think doing that with the props wouldn’t end well. It might let the motor pull too many amps and you ultimately would cut your thrust in half. My thoughts anyway

[@bruce2868]

You never showed how to sync the props and you made a point out of stressing the importance of doing so!

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Check the build vid. It should be in there

[@jeffjackson6358]

He said tidbits.

[@JustPlaneCrazy]

Lol. I love tidbits

[@adamrodgers2377]

Folks who get there panties in a a wad over the word "Build" are just to damn uptight and probably couldn't "Assemble" a friggin cheese and pepperoni pizza 🤣

Omg lol. I get that comment so often. 😝😜🤪
