Best Mini Electric RC Glider Ever XK A800 Built in 6G Stabilization

[@timrobinson9192]

Excellent flight my friend, I haven't seen many with that nice level of stabilisation: Thumbs up buddy 👍👍👍

[@komenda83]

I wanted to thank you for your movie, I ordered my first model. Today he just came and immediately went to test it. Flying great and gives a lot of fun. Exactly like in this video. thank you

[@dannymoore8785]

I'm glad they're still selling this plane. Just got one and it's a great plane for those lazy Sunday park flights.

[@worldradio456uk5]

What a great glider Ali. Awesome stuff. How the hobby has come on in 30 years when I first did gliders and planes . I used to do thermal flying when younger. Great days. Thanks for the video Ali.

[@toddspeck9415]

So stoked XK is making more amazing R.C. equipment. Good to see your still having a blast.

[@IanFlyinGremlinRCNZ]

I bought a AK A800 and it arrived on a wet windy day, So had to wait, but I have now had a couple of flights and I love it, Had to buy another battery as one wasnt enough, went higher in the MaH for longer flight time. Now just wait for the weather to come right to have some real fun with it

[@LITTLEEXPERIMENTCHANNEL1]

Taking mine out again today.

Another day of testing in absolutely perfect, flat calm sunny conditions....Nice job Ali......well done. You can have our windy days, we dont want them, really we dont.

So are you able to do rolls using rudder and ailerons? I have wltoys f22 mini which is very easy to fly..i fly in high rates than switch to 3d and can do some loops and rolls..than like with this one i just hit right button and you are in 6d ,so you dont crash..nice job

'twas my first rc plane (that didn't die on maiden). It served me so well. Now I'm flying a glorious volantex 2m. Very sexy. So much control. Love it. Peace!

[@ryanomoso7173]

What is the size of the propeller? Is it compatible with 5mm motor shaft?

[@alishanmao]

no idea. video is very old and i do not have the plane anymroe

[@Wings_of_foam]

I think you should listen to this man.

[@alishanmao]

thanks man

[@ceaseanddesist8036]

Is it me or are front propeller planes easier to fly? I got this a800 and as a noob I could even do fairly nice controlled landing. Then I tried a plane called skyking with rear mountet propeller and it felt really topheavy obviously crashed that one a lot. Lastly what is some newer rc plane similar to the a800, but never?

[@alishanmao]

it depends how the plane, its aerodynamics and its power combo is designed, how pilot sets the CG right. i have flown planes with rear rotors that are super stable

[@icesalami]

What's the biggest battery that will fit?

[@upperechelon3456]

Great video. I have added this plane to my hanger and it is a little all around fun little bird you can pop into your car for a quick flight on the fly - no pun intended. I wish they would have added a small brushless motor to it though.

[@alishanmao]

I think it does great with brushed motor :)

[@icefirelee8039]

[@Wings_of_foam]

Hi, do you know if I can use a Spektrum Dx6e?

[@alishanmao]

you can put a receiver in maybe

[@austinbartose6527]

You should always turn the radio on before battery on craft. At least in my experience that’s been true. Great video and plane, I want one

[@alishanmao]

yes thats a concept which is safe but its old school. with these new planes, and some of these new techs, turning on the plane first is perfectly safe and then turning on the radio will lock on to the right frequencies. still if turn the radio on first you will need to turn the plane on with in 10 seconds to get the frequencies locked.

[@byfaithalone3529]

Great video

[@Rich.ard72]

Love your videos, always so much enthusiasm for the hobby 👍

[@EleanorPeterson]

I'm sorry to spoil the wonderful 'feel-good' mood of your video, but I feel I should say for your other viewers that my experience with this neat little model hasn't been quite so happy. I've been an RC modeller since the mid 1970s, but this was my first try at modern-style electric flight, LiPos, BECs, gyros, micro servos, EPO 'construction', and all the rest of it. My A800 had radio problems. I set the plane down, straight and level, then waited for the gyro to calibrate itself. Things seemed to be all right, but the ailerons didn't respond to the stick - they just twitched and juddered. I checked the plugs, tried switching left for right and vice versa, but no go. They just quivered as if the Tx was still switched off and the Rx was picking up static. Both wing servos have little Quality Control 'PASS' stickers on them. The motor was fine, and the rudder and elevator worked. The receiver's red light responded correctly when powered up; slow flash, fast flash as the gyro settled down, then steady red, just like the manual says. The gyro itself seemed OK, as the elevator responded to pitch shifts when the model was held in the hand and tilted. But... no ailerons, so I haven't tried a flight yet. I don't know enough about gyros to risk it. I wondered if a full-power launch might 'wake up' the accelerometer and reset the ailerons... I've contacted the manufacturer, asking if there's anything I can do, but there's been no response (yet). I'm tempted to just leave the ailerons unplugged and fly it with rudder, elevator and throttle. I'd be inclined to set the ailerons to act as full-span flaps, giving the aerofoil a couple of degrees of undercamber... Back to the drawing board, I think. ;-)

[@alishanmao]

sorry that you might have received a faulty one. Ailerons are needed to keep it flying balanced and stable. yes problem with chinese sellers and chinese manufacturers is that they will never reply. Support and after sales services are not in their dictionaries anymore. mine still flies like a dream

[@and7barton]

I have this plane...... thinking of getting the 1200 too - Can anyone tell me - Do they use the same batteries, and is the motor, prop and cockpit canopy the same for both planes ?

[@TheObsessedGardener]

However! The glue that held the rudder and elevator servos in place broke free and resulted in hard right rudder upon inputting up elevator. Not good. Had to jam in some polystyrene offcuts to hold it all down. This was on my first day of flight.

[@nutleighgrove3658]

Hey alishanmao! Loving it as usual. 3D has been out for years along with gyros but could you please explain (or do a video👍🏻) the recent 6G, which is boasted on all my newer helis??? hmmmm...6G......🧐 🌈🚁

[@alishanmao]

well its just that 6G takes more axis to calculate rather than just 3 axis and provides better performance. Just take an example. A 2 axis Gimbal vs 3 axis gimbal :) which one will produce better video?

[@nutleighgrove3658]

alishanmao In physics, there are only 3 dimensions, perhaps they have a gyro on the motherboard & a second on the tail = 6 what d’you think? 🚁🤩

[@alishanmao]

yes, but 6 axis means 3 Gyros for x y and z axis and then 3 accelerometers for each axis x y and z which provides better control and auto leveling.

[@drone_photography42]

Could you maybe review a parror anafi or anything alike?

[@alishanmao]

[@jlopezjonathan]

This seems perfect, I've been looking for an entry fixed wing system, thanks for the great review. Can you recommend an FPV list, goggles etc. for use with this, and are their any instructions on an FPV system installation for this aircraft? Thanks again.

[@alishanmao]

You can use This FPV System. I used it. bit.ly/2oh9Pdf For video goggles I use bit.ly/2MFLHSp or for budget you can get these goggles. they work great and have DVR Too. bit.ly/2RPRbrQ bit.ly/2r81YnH For installation, Just stick the FPV System where you want it. Power it with a tiny 3.7v battery. and have fun flying FPV

[@peterspero1]

@@alishanmao Awesome, thank you! One more question, the only goggles I have are the DJI goggles, I'm thinking they won't work with this, will they? If not, can you recommend some FPV goggles?

DJI Goggles are not 5.8ghz. You will need 5.8Ghz goggles. I have already recommended good goggles in my previous comment

[@rcaviationswitzerland186]

First turn the radio on and then the plane

[@lenp.eriepa.6472]

You are correct, However That may have been to bind the receiver to the transmitter for the first time, Don't know, He didn't say

[@hassanhammoud2243]

I know more often than not that's the way but I've seen a few reviews on this exact plane they made sure that they looked at the stabilizer light flashing and then turn to a solid and then that's when they decided to turn on the receiver I would think that the receiver is what makes the light go solid however I didn't see that the main important thing that the two reviews were stressing why are they wanted to make sure specifically for this model that the stabilisation was set first before they turn the receiver on in both videos and it seemed to be more responsive together.

[@kilroy691able]

Hi, when you turn with your plane are you using the ailerons to do the turns or the rudder? Because when I tried to fly mine I tried to steer it with the rudder and it banked over and did a nose dive and hit the floor and broke the wing. I've managed to glue it back together and I was hoping you could give me some tips before I try and fly it again. Should I use just the ailerons to turn it next time and not use the rudder . Please help me out so I too can enjoy flying this plane . Thanks Dell.

[@alishanmao]

I use ailerons, elevator and rudder all to make smooth banking turns. this all comes with experience. :) crash more and you will learn faster :) thats how i learned

[@dawnndell251]

@@alishanmao hi the plane was climbing when I used the rudder to turn and it spun it over on its side and nose dived to the ground. Is that something you should not do use rudder and elevator at the same time when taking off or anytime ?

[@alishanmao]

you have definitely stalled the plane. when Taking off, plane needs good power and speed for a climb. if you reduce power or speed, it will stall, tip to one side then dive to ground.

Would you know how to set 6G / 3G on the Jumper T8sg plus for the xk a800? I have the dual rates set but can't figure out the 6G/ 3G.

It seems that XK 3G and 6G switch with Gyro Gains. So you might wanna set those to lower to switch to 3G and higher for 6G Mode.
