Thank you so much for the long form setup videos Brian! It’s a godsend for us beginners that haven’t set up too many planes before!

[@anybodysguess960]

Absolutely, they are such great presenters and explainers

[@wings9925]

@nikolasrobinson89 and interesting for us more experienced modellers and flyers, too 👍🏻

[@wings9925]

Wishing you and the family a very special Christmas. Thanks for everything you've done this year, bringing us lots of enjoyment and interest. 🎄🎁

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you, and likewise - Merry Christmas!

[@flyandplayAUSTRALIA]

Brilliant video as always Brian and Camera Crew! Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you and your fam! Looking forward to more great content and more "God things" with the plans and further development of the beautiful Brian Phillips RC Aerodrome!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you, and thanks for the support too! It is very much appreciate, and will help the Aerodrome come together!!! We have the pad done now, and it's raining for the first time since the dig, and Megan and I marked out the proposed location of the Dam Gift Shop (AKA Hangar) - it's HUGE ;) Can't wait to share more!!!

[@arunkhan4951]

Season's Greetings. You are an awesome pilot, but ... your camera crew (wife) is equally awesome in rolling the camera, zooming, panning seamlessy and keeping the aircraft in the frame all the time 👌🖖👏🫡

[@jayaustin3096]

That plane is a beast. Hobby king is coming back strong. I love the durafly and avios models. Can't beat em.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We have one more in the office, waiting to be built, so keep an eye out ;) Then more to come!

[@stuartwarnerc]

Nice work guys, great to see the model on your channel and seems like you guys have some bold projects in the pipeline, excited to see more.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Oh yeah! A HobbyKing Yak that farts! Amazing! That's crazy, with the wheels held in by the mains' gear doors. Wierd. Great to see you guys expanding the vendor pool. And getting the Dam gift shop pad project crankin'! Hope you had a Merry Christmas. And have a Happy New Year! PS. Didn't buy this HK plane. But I did use BPRC links to buy another Baby Draco😊 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

NICE! Thanks Al - you'll love the Micro Draco. This plane is also amazing. It's like flying the big one, only small. It's strange how well it flies for being a "micro" but not UMX...since it's a bit too big to be UMX ;) The Yak is a great experience. We used to do all sorts of HobbyKing stuff...then we kinda just moved on, since the models were getting to be a bit too much work. They've been working hard to improve quality, purportedly, so we'll see. So far, pretty impressed!

[@billyberry5482]

Your flying skills have improved so much since I've watched your videos over the years and Megan I honestly believe does the best filming of ANY channel out there. If I got your name wrong I apologize aka camera crew 😂

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Megan is correct, and you got it - she is amazing! I have improved over the years, but she is the real star!!!!! It's so hard to film these plane!

[@GSG-lc5zm]

That plane is a hotrod! Love the unbalanced prop 👍 sounds great

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

exactly!

[@David-pf2ov]

Love the way that thing sounds. Better have game face on when flying. Could use as a wake up alarm in the morning.👍😎😇😂

Merry Christmas Brian and Camera Crew. Assuming you flew this on Christmas Eve which I was able to get out for a couple hours that day as well. Rare no wind day for us in Central IA.

[@snoriverrc3842]

So glad to see you get a HK plane. The Yak has been out for 3 years, this is the 3rd version released recently, and is one of the really great models HK sells. They all sound like that. You need to get an Albatross now for the pond. At 1.6m its super scale, and youll love it. BTW Hobby King sells a heavy duty lipo battery thats exceptional.

[@northernfpv9562]

Albatross is an awesome plane!

[@snoriverrc3842]

@@northernfpv9562 I know Brian would love it, and the setup video would be a 3 hour treat, because it is so scale, and requires several bits of specialty programming and mixes. But the finished product is one of the greatest models anyone makes and a treat to fly.

[@snauzze7007]

[@Killerplanes]

Sweeeeeet! Remember when planes used to just fly fast? I do like FASTER!

[@gooniac33]

This one is on my list for sure.. just needs a bit more pitch for the speed I want!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You could handle it too with this power system. She did "fart" for me a few times, so keep an eye on yours when you get her. I hate when they do that, but only if the plane stalls out at a terrible time. Just don't lose her cramming the throttle too quick with an even more aggressive prop - good luck!

[@looneytunes47]

Flaps will always lighten up the tail so its a good habit to take them off as soon as you touch down Brian. i notice you dont do that very often start doing it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't usually since I want to use the extra drag to help slow down the planes a bit faster. Keep in mind, we're on a short runway. When / If you end up with this plane, you'll see what I was talking about. The gear are a bit toe-out and bindy....so the plane pulls real bad so grass ops are okay, but hard surface landings can be kinda crazy.

[@looneytunes47]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah i can imagine how thrust reversing was a Godsend for your short runway strip with larger heavier planes landing on it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

If you're interested in something, just hit us up on our email - [e-mail] - BUT FYI, we're kinda slow to respond, since we have a lot going on at the moment, BUT we do reply. If you're in a hurry, please do follow the links, and get one that way, in the mean time. It's tough to ship some of these planes, since we have to dis-assemble, and repack them, which can be a chore, but we'll always try to field requests on the email. Thanks!

[@Metinaviation]

Hello Mr Brain I'm watching your evreytime greetings from Germany😊😊😊

[@frontprochproduction]

That plane is amazing, but the sound is something. Does it really sound similar to a gas powered plane? That prop really sounds authentic in a dive.

[@frontprochproduction]

Also, judging by the speed, I'm not really seeing much inefficiency in that prop and I will happily trade a bit of performance for that sound.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I love the way it sounds too, but guarantee if I spent some time to balance that prop, she'd perform even better!!! ;)

[@DaveItYourselfChannel]

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍

[@user-cc3cq7xi6p]

Hobby king planes are really nice. Check out more.

[@rajnificent]

Hey Brian. Did I hear you correctly that your voltage alert was set to 20.4 volts. That’s 3.4v per cell. Have you any issues flying that low? Is that your cutoff fr foamies vs balsa? Just curious. I try to stop at 3.6, but I definitely want to push the envelope of my batteries. I am not a jamming 3D guy. I’m a cruiser with some graceful ballerina moves hah Thanks and happy new year.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

My experience on 6S is that you have so much head room on power, so if 25% throttle will keep you flying, you could go till she starts to sag, if you wanted, but I usually set my alarms to 3.3VDC on Prop planes, and 3.6-3.8 on EDF jets. It more depends on your SITE, and how long you have to fly for a go-around, AND how competent you are at initiating a landing. I'm usually pretty "johnny-on-the-spot" with moving into final, and in the right conditions, I can final either way from our front runway, so I have some flexibility you may not enjoy.

[@rajnificent]

@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks BP. I ordered the SWS after your build video and my gosh thing is a graceful bird. I’ll try to push the battery a bit more, maybe go down to 21.0v and that should still give me room to do a few slowmo passes specifically in this plane.

[@dominicbonadies6021]

Hey Brian not totally happy with mine and Hobbyking's quality! First i had to run a direct Y harness to the gear channel on my RX so my retracts would work and then one of the retracts came out of the wing because there was barely any glue on it and finally the C clips that hold the wheels on made the wheels to tight and they couldn't spin freely so i had to take them off and use wheel collars so the wheels would spin freely. So beware people if you're interested in buying this 😢 airplane!

[@domscorpi9775]

nice plane. my first purchase for 2025.

[@Rombo-86]

18:00 “never fly for fun, always fly for you”? That sounded so sad 😢 for real?

[@MrDLRu]

I put a magic marker line on connectors that can go on backward...Line to line.

[@rally8959]

Not related to this video but wanted your opinion on what you think is a better plane. The arrows 1300 Bigfoot or fms 1300 pa18. Thanks

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

PA-18 is amazing. I really like it...but if you can possibly squeeze out the extra cash, boy-o-boy, the 1700mm PA-18 is just AMAZING. Love that plane!!! As for the Bigfoot...if you're getting the RTF, it is a good choice, but the 1300mm PA-18 is also good. I think the Bigfoot was marginally better out of box. Tough call. bprc.me/FMS_PA18 vs bprc.me/Arrows_Bigfoot_RTF

Brian need your help rq trying to get a hold of the agile drone aircraft series company for a warranty I got my nephew caught the only tree in the state on Christmas he's 9 first plane experience and he loved it we finished the day with my aircraft but still trying to find the company to get a new one for him not your problem . Your just the only one I can think of that has connection's with the rc world thank you love that huge plane by the way that thing moves ❤

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Real sorry, not sure who/what " agile drone aircraft series " is...we don't work with them, and haven't done any footage of their stuff, so I can't really speak to it, at all. Are you wanting to find a similar replacement for your nephew? If so, we have tons of stuff on the website ( bprc.me ) to help you scroll through and find interesting items....but I don't know exactly what you had, so it's real hard to help.

[@DAmariosTravels]

@BrianPhillipsRC yes I'll look at your website thank you I'll prolly get myself a small craft and him a new one . I never heard of that company either. For a small drone it sounded like your old fox that caught the tree coming in lol

I bet she is doing over a 100 mph, you need an altimeter with a gps for speed

I wonder if we have that on this AR637T - I'll look into it. I KNOW you can add GPS option for that, and we technically have one.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

I love how your solution for too many planes for your house is not to weed a few out,, but to keep all the planes and build a hangar for them 😂🤣

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

YES! Finally, someone GETS ME ;)

[@M4rkmcc21]

It's alot of plane for the little money it costs. Think I paid £250 after the discounts day they offered. However it's is a cheaply made plane. Cheap quality, poor thoughts on some designs (rubbing tail wheel against the foam, heavy prop and terrible material and fitting nose cone etc) and the landing gear needs ripping out and re glueing. But I guess it's cheap to purchase so it's not like you're paying eflite money for a durafly product. Unfortunately I find all of Hobbykings planes cheap. I prefer to spend a little more. However it does perform well for 4s 1.2m eflite money.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This is a common position, and one that we shared a while back (maybe 7-8 years ago), but I can say, this plane feels BETTER than yesteryear...but spending a bit more for higher quality isn't a bad idea. I just hope HK keeps improving. They ARE getting better. It's not quite as bad as getting a Dynam - which is a complete redo on their worst planes... That all being said, planes are not the easiest thing to build, market, and sell - so I hate to rip them a new one when they ARE improving. Hope you could hear that in our review.
