FMS - BAE Hawk - 80mm - Unbox, Build, & Radio Setup

[@mattmiller7494]

To all of the pencil pushing federal agents who suck at life…. Brian is our teacher, leave him and the hobby alone. Radio control airplanes weren’t a problem until they made drones so easy to fly that any idiot with a couple bucks can fly one and get great footage of a commercial airliner while it’s landing because that’s what smart people do. Leave the hobby alone and stop messing with the people that aren’t harming anyone. Seriously though you have taught me how to set up my radio and understand what I’m doing. Camera crew is truly the best on KZbin without question. Keep it up you two.

[@jeffreystone7327]

Thank you. One of the best comments to the work that Brian and Megan are doing for the RC sport and community. They are the best in the business.

[@65Max]

I'm STILL in the learning process. After some 20 years of absence from the sport, model RC flying is back in my life. Now it's so very many ways different than before. Brian, thanks for helping me learn how to take advantage of the new technology available now as compared to the simple systems of the distant past.

[@olivervaldes4223]

The only reason I can fly again is because of this EDUCATIONAL channel. I thank you for all the good times.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

AWESOME!!!! Thanks for the comment, and VERY glad you're still flying!!!

[@coolbreazmike]

Yes, I did watch the whole video and so glad to see that your injury has miraculously healed!

[@mikethompson3710]

Hey folks! I do learn a great deal from your videos. While this airplane is more advanced than I am still seeing your assembly and radio setup (I use a NX8 myself) is very helpful. I will say I stand in awe of your flying skills as well as your knowledge of RC aircraft. I flew for about 16,000 hours during my flying career and now that I'm fully retired (not by choice - thank you FAA) I turned to RC flying to "get my fix." There is so much to learn and you have contributed greatly to my RC education. Great production values as well. That model you hire to be your "camera crew" is absolutely bonkers with the camera! I'm married to a career educator and know the challenges that present Thank you both for your awesome work!

[@BikerDon2]

I have just bought one of these Hawks after seeing it fly at the best UK Model Show these days - Weston Park. Your channel is usually one of my first ports of call when I get a new model - love your videos, keep up the good work fellah 👍 At 6:02 & 12:26 - you ask if that's a fuel tank, it's not.... it's the modification that the Red Arrows had done to their Hawks to give them them ability to make smoke during their displays. At 12:43 - that is a pitot tube 👍 At 13:39 - you may not like them but the colours of the canopy are as per the full size, sorry At 34:04 - they are wing fences, strakes are on the fuselage like your dorsal fins at 28:25 and cause a vortex; wing fences are to stop air flow along the wing causing tip-stalling

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Tanks? Modified tanks - Nice! At 13:39 - you may not like them but the colours of the canopy are as per the full size, sorry - I mean the RED didn't quite MATCH the color of the body as well as they do on some planes...I love the red color, just not the slight mismatch. At 34:04 - they are wing fences, strakes are on the fuselage like your dorsal fins at 28:25 and cause a vortex; wing fences are to stop air flow along the wing causing tip-stalling - Dang it! I guess I missed that, and the fence always gets me!!!! Sorry about that one & thanks for time stamps, makes it easy for me to reply to your comments!!! We will keep up the good work ;) Glad you're here with us!!!

[@seanplayford8805]

Great educational videos Brian & cc. Your invaluable instruction on the Eflite Spitfire 1.2m (probably 6 year plus old video) was the reason I got the nerve up to get that model in the air (second ever model after the tame Hobbyzone Carbon Cub). Also your reasoning for receiver selection and detailed radio set-up has been invaluable and I am fairly proficient with this process and have the bravery to play with settings only because of you. I have viewed most of your videos because they are so addictive and now have several models off the back of these (Eflite P51-June night 1.2m, Eflite F4U Corsair 1.2m, etc) and will very likely get this Hawk. It will be my first jet but I have a good deal of warbird experience now so I should be able to pull it off! It's a shame that Motion RC won't work with you as when combined with AS3X, they also have great planes. I have the 1.6m Flightline Spitfire and would never have got this if I hadn't been able to set it up in forward programming with the AR637T receiver, again something you gave me the tools to do. Great videos Brian & cc. Long may they last. I'm enjoying the lake construction progress and am looking forward to this next stage in your progression. Keep up the excellent work!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome, and so glad we could play a small roll in helping get you into the air, where you belong! Thanks for the kind words, and we're so glad you're here with us!

[@jeffreystone7327]

Matt Miller nailed it with his comment. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Brian Phillips RC is the best in the business. At 64 years of age, and getting back into flying RC planes, Brian has cut my learning curve in half. As for the FMS BAE HAWK, another great plane. I love the planes I own by FMS.

[@guygrenke266]

The educational content of your videos is the best on KZbin. Also I recently purchased an Avian 100 amp ESC. I NEEDED REVERSE THRUST! This sucker rolls out forever. Thank you Brian and Megan!

[@jzonearcade]

Guys, I have learned some valuable video production techniques from camera crew as well as learning the value of production value from you Brian. I can't stress enough how educational your channel has been and just how much I have learned. It has been very fun being educated by you and camera crew. Also the education I have received on flying in a tree wrapped environment has really had an amazing impact on my RC flying education. Thank you and your entire team!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Our pleasure, and thank you for sharing about your experience. We're honored to be a part of helping people get into or just to get a little more out of the hobby, or both. Educating the "next" generation of RC enthusiast is such a big part of what we do here, and we wanted to make this a bit of a showcase, just in case there's ever a time we need to point to an example ;) But we realize you and others like you have been with us for this specific reason, and really glad we could be a part of your story! (P.S. Looks like your comment duplicated...I deleted the duplicate...this happens from time to time, but nothing you did wrong - it's a glitch, and didn't want you to think I was upset with you - I'm not)

[@mmyshack]

Brian, you are a hoot I love to watch your educational videos. I am one of those propeller heads who watch them from beginning to end. I learn new things from every video so keep up the good work and know that you are appreciated.

[@vaughanlockett658]

Hi Brian, what a great time to review this aircraft in Red Arrows markings , flown by our UK top pilots . This aircraft was flown at most major events across the UK and even overseas and is synonymous with our late Queen Elizabeth the 2 , flown and display at her Jubilee celebration's for decades . Fit some smoke.

[@deandagner]

Oooooooo a sneak peek!! I can't wait for that video!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Coming soon!

[@flymachine]

thats a wing fence not a vortex generator - it will produce vortices at the aileron but the primary function is to manage span-wise flow - I installed stall strips on the leading edges and secondary fences inboard (which later models of Hawk incorporated too) for a much much better handling bird in low speeds and high angles of attack - the full size Hawk does also have a row of VG's outboard on the wing

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! Very cool detail. Wing Fence - got it ;)

[@DetoursRC]

Fedex dropped mine off this morning. Yes! Ive got an ar630 im not using I may just take out the reflex and use that. The lack of antennas makes me worry but ive used them in alot of planes with no range issues.

[@Samlairson]

Not a strake. It is a stall fence. The stall will begin from the root and travel towards the wing tips. This fence helps to keep the ailerons effective at slow airspeeds to increase control.

[@Stayfrosty01]

Love this jet When I take it to the field, people comment how well it looks and flies. Awesome bird. Thank you Brian for your educational video 👍🏻

[@richhollenbeck5619]

Hey Brian! Another great video on this awesome looking aircraft! Oh and Brian the Wolverines are coming and they are hungry for some Hawkeye! 😂

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Oh boy - yeah....about that game - LOL - not making any bets on an Iowa victory :(.... But yeah, AWESOME plane!!!!!

[@DetoursRC]

Just got mine put together. Ripped out the reflex and just put an ar630 I had in it. I didnt even have to skewer my canopy! Lol. The top tip of the vertical stabilizer was crushed and bent a little out of the box. Most wouldn't notice. Ive yet to get a foamie that didnt have imperfections out of the box though. They are meant to fly not look at. Although I enjoy doing both.

[@homefrontdevelopments9596]

Did you have any issues taking out the reflex and putting in a 630,thinking of doing that but with a ar631,. For safe and as3x may put an avian esc in it if it’s possible ,looks a little hard to get to the wirjng

[@DetoursRC]

@@homefrontdevelopments9596 I didn't have any issue I just unplugged from the reflex and plug into receiver and put the receiver where the reflex was.

[@homefrontdevelopments9596]

Thnks ,did you think of swapping out the esc I bought an avian spectrum 100 amp esc but it looks like it would be difficult to swap that out ,???

[@DetoursRC]

@@homefrontdevelopments9596 im not gonna bother swapping the esc.

[@stevecompton9644]

Thanks for the education on flap deployment and why you don't want to go 100 or 150% on servo throws! Is that just a Spectrum thing? (My main radio is Open TX, RadioMaster TX16S) Now, wish FMS would sell this one in a 50 or 64mm size and 4S! Also, my son watches with me and he wants to be a pilot one day and aviation or robotic engineer. I wanted to fly Tomcats as a young lad, then my eyes went to crap.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

150% is usually okay on FMS, but not sure if that's a Spektrum thing, or if it will carry over to other offerings, such as OpenTX choices. 64mm would be SWEET! Love this beauty! P.S. - BAE Hawk bit.ly/3pSmp4v (Arrows 50mm EDF ;)

[@insurancemann1]

Darn it Brian. I’ve been tempted to get this one for a long time. I don’t have any room for one more jet. Looking forward to your flight videos.

[@MrtipRC]

Listen and take notes from Brian and his wife ! Well I didn't listen to you about flying in overcast evening and I lost my Habu ss 50 mm lol , it's probably in lake Michigan in Chicago lol .

[@akie1964]

GREAT EDUCATIONAL upload!! A year ago I purchased the Arrows F86 Sabre on the strength of your review, sold it as we relocated to Perth Australia. Incredible plane. I'd love your opinion as to what's the best general flying plane out of the FMS 80mm BAe Hawke or the FMS 80mm F86 Sabre. Really kean to hear your expert advice. Best regards to Camera crew as well 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

BAE Hawk. The F-86 has some gorgeous details, but the 80mm BAE Hawk has more of an everyday flyer feel to it. The F-86 is just a big plane too, if storage is a consideration.

[@akie1964]

Fantastic, thanx for your reply. FMS Hawk it is! Perhaps go for the F86 later if Mrs A will allow as I do love it's looks, love those swept wings 👍

[@sambuvca22]

Your not getting out this vid without a comment on that fantastic pocket protector and what seems to be a beeper on the port side........... anyways FMS makes the best foamies!

[@johnb.1162]

So much educational content from you guys over the 2 or 3 years I have been a subscriber! Another great presentation from you Brian and so beautifully filmed by the incredible Camera Crew! One thing I might have missed was the positioning of the diversity antennae. You taped one antenna facing forward but the one going toward the tail of the aircraft was hard to see. Is it at 90 degrees or did you lay it back towards the tail (which would make it 180 degrees to the front facing one)? Not a criticism, just could not quite see in there. Thank you for all you do for our great hobby/sport!

[@harald-ce9jj]

Hello Brian, but on the FMS homepage it says 3270-KV2000 inner running

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Oh no, did I say it worng??!?!! Sorry if I did!

[@83zoso]

I was just about to pull the trigger on the Freewing T1 Hawk 70mm from Motion RC until Brian pulled this one out of the bag. Now I'm not sure what to go for. It's gonna be my first 6S jet. The FMS is more expensive but it looks to be better quality than the Freewing and man it sounds really good!! I fly off grass too and that FMS was handling the grass really well. The Freewing's nose gear has a reputation for being flimsy. What should I go for? Freewing T1 Hawk 70mm or FMS BAE Hawk 80mm?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Craig - I'd be lying if I said this was in fact better...I can't say, since I haven't had any experience with the Freewing. That being said, this one is BETTER in specs, by a lot too...80mm edf's are bigger and more powerful. As you could see, the power to weight ratio is amazing on this plane, and she is gorgeous. Also, you'll not get a stabilizer included with the Freewing (unless I'm mistaken), so to be honest, I want to say "This one" but that's my no-bs answer you've come to expect. This plane will not disappoint. Grass ops are going to be harder on some of these jets, no matter the brand, but TYPICALLY bigger planes fair better. Good luck with your decision, and I hope you choose THIS FMS - it is great! BAE Hawk bit.ly/3q8fjJB

[@83zoso]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah I wouldn't get a stabilizer with the Freewing. My original plan was to put an AR630 in the Freewing and set up Safe/AS3X. But if I bought the FMS I could follow your video and set it up exactly as you did. I've done that before with previous planes and they always fly great if I follow your instructions. Thanks for the reply and for taking the time to help us all out. You're the best! I'm going to go for the FMS!!

[@homefrontdevelopments9596]

Hi Brian how can I replace the stock esc with an avian 100 amp esc I need educated on this and I hear your the man lol.looks like the stock esc is in a hard place to remove and can’t see any bullet connectors to the motor any help would be very helpful,love you videos

I just did a Maiden on mine yesterday, laughed when I later saw this build fly release.. I opted to remove the FMS reflex and programmed the AS3x receiver. that rear screw job was an issue on mine as well, feels when you were struggling .. but I have a question, Futura or BAE-HAWK?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Tough call - they are both so good. I actually slightly prefer the looks and very, VERY slightly smaller size - thus apparent increase on thrust to weight (same edf) on the BAE Hawk, but I'm a sucker for scale planes too! BAE Hawk bit.ly/3q8fjJB Futura V2 bit.ly/3PJqwLc | V3 bit.ly/3vMZDhS
