AWESOME Cessna!! Nate put it through the "Saylors Cycle" of performance tests successfully!! Nice price, too!! Thanks Saylors for your efforts... ABBY, can't you DO EVERYTHING... film, great drone chasing, keeping Nate on track, etc.!! ❤👍😎

[@Fishingandflying]

Hey for some reason I feel like you aren’t getting as many good comments as you used to but I just want you to know I love your guises videos and I always look forward to them. Please never stop 😀

[@keith697]

Always fun watching you guys together flying any aircraft!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks!! 🙏💯👍😎⚓️

[@FarrellMcGovern]

That is a nice scale plane...and that difference in colour between the engine cowl and the rest of the fuselage is absolutely scale. :-) I have seen planes with slightly different coloured skin parts due to different materials, paints and replacements. So it's totally realistic! :-) Re: Huricane Helene.... spent time just after the turn of the century in the Charlotte, Wilkesboro, Boone and Ashville NC areas, and I have seen videos and photos devastation that has shocked me. Places I spent time in damaged or destroyed. My heart goes out to everyone in the region. I also have friends in Florida, but they were on the Atlantic coast side, and were spared this time. I hope you, your family and friends are all safe and sound.

[@MichaelBarber-z8f]

Wow 😲 nice. So much fun lol😂. A very cool looking Rc plane. Hi Rc Saylors Nate and Abby, Popeye 🐕👋😁. Lol, Nate loves his planes 😅. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏

[@thefamjaycrew3901]

I’m loving the drone shots of the plane ✈️ happy flying all 😊😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

[@beauvrt]

Thank you brother keep doing what you're doing bringing this badass content

[@GTRaycer]

Regarding the color mismatch between the cowl and the foam, it could be an easy inexpensive fix, provided you can find a spray can white paint with a bit more yellow in it that matches. Or you could look for a match with the blue in the decals. Worse case, you paint it black to match the black in the decals.

[@rudyho3790]

yeh...now there's true, classy winged model of Cessna...like it 😁👌

[@lostinlife647866]

This was a really well done video, Nate, Really enjoyed the docile scale flying. Not sure what changed, but your flying seems to have improved maybe its the plane, nah its the pilot !!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much my friend! 🙏👍💯😎⚓️

[@Noah-r5b]

Very nice little plane, Wish E-flight made one of these like their Sr-22T 1.5 M, hopefully in the future. Love the videos keep up the good work 😁😁

[@flyinryanmoto2640]

I just ordered one on sale at tower hobbies for $129, cant beat that price

[@mickeyborrero7783]

Great find. On sale for $129 thru 11/21/24

[@TheRcSaylors]

Ok, that’s pretty insane!! 🤩👍💯😎⚓️

[@donharsh61]

Wow nice I like it watching enjoying too ✨️👍😃😎♥️ beautiful airplane too awesome ❤

[@andrewstempel8793]

Would be helpful to know, in this and all reviews, your opinion of durability - resistance to damage from common mishaps i.e. wing tip or tail strikes, forced landing in grass, etc.

[@nickitoff9629]

Great video! I hope it saves Tower Hobbies, they've been around since I was a kid. I like the products they have, but their prices are crazy! Love in Christ!

[@Hoomi2]

While I'm sure it costs just a bit more in the manufacturing process, the hatch-latch like they use on the EFlite Cherokee is more secure than a magnetic hatch retention system. Other than that, it looks like a pretty awesome plane.

[@tboystoys5682]

What would make it more amazing?? BNF combo would be great.

[@TheRcSaylors]

I do agree, honestly but this opens the airplane up to more people too as a PNP. Smart move for Tower Hobbies, but it would be neat to ALSO see a BNF, like you said 👍💯😎⚓️

[@tboystoys5682]

@@TheRcSaylors it’s a great little plane. I got a few flights on mine now. I’m not near the pilot you are but it’s a great plane. I crashed it in its maiden on takeoff but only damaged the nose cone and prop my fault. But great plane

Good looking plane. Flew & sounded great. At 4:19 that BIG bird looked close to the plane. Reminded me of a giant Rodan chasing a plane in an old Japanese movie.😲 of course in the movie the plane got eaten. So I guess you were lucky with your American Rodan.😄😄🥴. ⚓️⚓️👍💚🧡💛👍😲😄🥴👍⚓️⚓️.

[@InfoWithheld]

Hey Saylors, I encourage you to not engage with the comments section or its dust-ups. And, if you do, please don't mention it in the next video. It also causes you two to seem defensive. It's not as fun to hang with you all when you are being defensive. The internet comments cannot hurt you, if you do not engage. It also rewards the original offenders if at topic gets mentioned in a future video. -Much Love. 🙏🏻

[@Itsa_Mea]

Silky smooth touch down, but let's work on those approaches. A good approach sets you up for the smooth landing.

[@wingtipsworld5909]

love how most pilots have no clue about wing loading and just full throttle the airplane then crank it as hard as it will turn... I fully expected you to fold up the wings and make an instant lawn dart. It is a good looking little plane.

[@TheRcSaylors]

It’s a toy. It flies not true to scale or scale if you want to, which is the beauty of these toys! I do know what wing loading is, but maybe you could explain to anyone reading this comment thread what it is “1st grade terms” and the dangers associated with it in the full scale world. Knowing of course that these are just toys however and it is very different with foam toys. 👍💯😎⚓️

[@AK1Tantal]

Nice Cessna 400, I'll check it out! BTW, excellent camera work. What are you using for your camera? Inquiring minds want to know!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you! We film all manual settings on a DSLR 👍💯😎⚓️

Where do you live that toy drones are illegal? 🤯🤔⚓️

@@TheRcSaylors Scotland, crazy rules now, cannot even fly in my garden.

[@torchs34]

legally i can fly toy under weight, yet i dont due to complaints and dont want to spoil the sport

[@TheRcSaylors]

Wow, that is absolutely insane! I had no idea there were laws set in place like that in Scotland. I’m so sorry my friend. Do they not support the idea of flying something under 249g? I mean, that truly blows my mind. Is it illegal to drive a car there? I say that sarcastically because which is more dangerous…. 🤔⚓️

[@torchs34]

@@TheRcSaylors Yes, yet have to pass a test and have a number on the craft, with knowing fly zones, its a pain.

I only have access to grass fields. Can those little wheels handle grass runways?

[@TheRcSaylors]

If you take off the decorative wheel pants, yes 👍😎⚓️

[@bradbowles1153]

You can hand launch it too

[@gewglesux]

I had the original Lancair... and yeah you had to remove the wheel pants

[@RC-Closer1313]

I tried to check the plane out but the link takes me to Bitely (whatever that is) and says I have to open an account… what?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Yeah that’s strange. Lemme check to make sure it’s working properly.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Just checked by clicking our link and it loads properly. Bitly is just a website we use to shorten the link length so it doesn’t take up a ton of space in our video description box. 🤔👍💯⚓️

@@TheRcSaylors I clicked on the bottom link and it took me right to it👍… I am looking at radios (for planes) right now… this will be my first plane and radio… I’ve been waiting to find “The One” for a year or so… I think this is it… I’m going to buy a good radio that I can use for other planes and helicopters… I have 27 RC cars and I just ordered my first helicopter… all this from watching you guys review/play and have fun👍. Thank you

[@TheRcSaylors]

I’m more than happy to make a strong radio recommendation. I’ve tested quite a few through the years but am getting ready to work on a review of a specific one soon. If you can wait a week or so, it might be worth it! 👍💯😎⚓️

[@austinl8425]

Do you think this is ok for a first plane?

[@bradbowles1153]

You need a high wing for a trainer. Something that flies slow and easy. You will learn faster if you have an instructor but I was able to get by using a RC plane simulation app on my phone. Altitude is your friend! Wind is your enemy.

[@EJ-74]

If you have a trainer with a buddy box and SAFE mode you could fly this as a beginner but who has all those luxuries 🤔 I’d highly recommend the Aeroscout, best bang for your buck. That’s what I started with and after 4yrs of beating mine to death it looks like crap but after a few modifications it actually flys better than it did new and I still have the original prop it came with 😂 Can’t say that for any plane I’ve ever bought or built from scratch… lol

I think most ppl refer to expo as gains

[@TheRcSaylors]

That’s interesting! I always say expo simply because that’s what it says in my radio. Also, I thought gains relates to the stabilization sensitivity. In fact, I do believe they are very different terms but both relate to the sensitivity of the aircraft in different ways. 😉👍💯😎⚓️

[@jayaustin3096]

Nate is right. Expo is the sesativity of your gimbles sticks.
