Thank you so much for posting this video! I just got the ranger v2 as my first plane and couldn’t figure out why my rudder wasn’t moving as expected. Your comment about tightening the screw around the linkage saved me a lot of stress! I have to say that I found the included instructions to be pretty bad / missing some crucial info, but now I’m all set!

[@BradLeedy]

You guys are awesome and I love watching and learning from Brian. Very helpful because I have a 1220m Ranger under the Christmas tree already. So thank you. All your videos are so fun to watch and gain knowledge so I can become a great pilot.😊

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks so much Brad!

[@jamesstuarttolford6554]

Just bought this plane, I’m an returning newbie. Thanks for going into deep descriptions on it. Have a Blessed Day. Jim

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You're very welcome, Jim! Glad you're here. We want to help people who need help, since there's a plethora a video where people just like me assume everyone knows this stuff...makes for a shorter video, but leaves people in the dust ;( We aim to help EVERYONE as much as possible, unless they're in a hurry - LOL ;)

[@jamesstuarttolford6554]

Bought the Fair RC Blue Jay, also bought me an Reflex V3. Any tips to get this working properly. Thanks

[@robertgribbin6444]

If you bought the ready to fly your set. If it is plug and play, you select or buy your own transmitter and receiver. So stick with FMS and get an FS-I6X transmitter and FS- ia6b receiver. This is the cheapest. You can use a spectrum receiver and transmitter. You can find this info on KZbin. More expensive

[@robertgribbin6444]

This video is basically the same for yours

Just bought this, your longform videos including binding transmitter is great.... thank you

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome, thank you! So glad you did too!

[@michaelshealy7374]

Thank you for step by step so thorough seeing your video is why I bought this plane .and felt confident I can follow you and build mine now I just have to go crash it trying to learn thanks again

[@mikeobrien2390]

I just subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago as I purchased the RF evolution sim and ran across your channel. I've been into the RC hobby for approximately 10yrs now with cars/trucks and boats and have decided to get into the flying aspect of the hobby and wanted to start out with 3d flying with eratix 3d and your video on that was amazing until I saw this video on the ranger and realized how easy it is to fly after your unboxing and set up and maiden flight and Im definitely gonna purchase one after they come back in stock. Your videos are amazing and very instructional, and definitely got me into wanting to fly now. Thank you

[@martymcbride3234]

Thanks for all the help..Great tutorial brother

[@gdcarter01]

Spit also works on the screw thread's, to silence the squeak.

[@robertgribbin6444]

Denatured alcohol breaks down glue, too. Great video Brian, you're crazy 😅

[@robertgribbin6444]

I liked your elevator alignment . Thanks!

[@jameshall4918]

Thank you for another great vid!!! Just waiting on mine to arrive then I’ll watch this vid again!!!

[@AL-RCjunkie]

I like the 2 piece tail design. Tight packages ship cheaper 😊 Side note: (I learn from the best) Spektrum kind of snuck these new "pro air" series 4s and 6s packs on the HH website. They're 120c, and new mAh sizes. 2900mAh, 3600mAh, etc. I tried out the 4s 2900mAh's yesterday. And they COOK! (Not literally). Lighter than the 4s 2700's and thinner. Like the 4s 2200's. Just thinner. Anyway, i thought you might want to take a peek those bad boys. Im a convert, here. Theyre immediately going on my christmas list, in every available size 😊 Love you guys! Thanks for the addictio- er, introduction to this hobby 👍

[@northernontariobushcraftsu4192]

I used packing tape on my aileron servo wires easier to remove if need be

[@louisstokes1898]

I'm curious abiout the FlySky transmitter gimbal calibration to the ESC on the Ranger RTF. Is there are way to do that? Do I need to? This is my first plane

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I can suggest that this is a typically unnecessary step, as I've only had to do it maybe 10 times on the hundreds of aircraft we've done. That being said, it's the same process for ANY brand. You just need to be 100% sure to do it RIGHT...or you may have a plane flying off your table, and into your dominate eyeball - it's a dangerous thing if you leave on the prop, without plenty of practice and experience. IF YOU DO IT, please do plan to take off the prop. This is a BIG safety issue when you're new. YOU CAN DO IT, if you wish, but I doubt it's needed. 0) Take off PROP ;) 1) Plane UN-powered (make sure it's unplugged from the flight pack) 2) Transmitter ON 3) Throttle cut OFF - yeah, OFF - you need the throttle stick working for this part 4) Throttle stick 100% (all the way up) - yeah, all the way! 5) Secure plane 6) Plug in Flight Pack 7) When the weird noises start, that sound different from normal ESC startup...0% throttle (all the way DOWN) 8) The plane should arm as usual now 9) Now test the throttle range and see if it took 10) Un-power all of it, replace prop Throttle calibration should be complete - use the plane as usual. Good luck, Louis.

[@WilliamWoodAZ]

Do you have a link for the solid shelf liner?

[@Tebly]

Guys a a newbie this is my first plane but i dont know where to connect the elevator cable?

[@Pyroisnocrime-w6g]

In the v3 gyro

[@Pyroisnocrime-w6g]

Also the ailerons

[@richards3345]

Just getting into the sport with my son. Where is the cabinet liner from?

[@jamesstuarttolford6554]

Just setup the Blue Jay 1220 with an Reflex V3 and went into the programming and set it as Ranger V2. Since it did not had the Blue Jay to use as plane. Is that ok ? Please advice. Thank you.

[@louisstokes1898]

My Reflex V3 does not have a Y cable coming out of the AIL connection point I dont think I an complete build without that. Am I wrong? Trying get FMS support to send me the Y cable for Ailerons

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I'm not saying you shouldn't have a "Y" Cable, as I don't really know, but have you tried just throwing one on there that you have lying around? It won't hurt anything. I've rarely seen a plane that doesn't either... 1) Have a "Y" Cable installed already 2) Utilize Flapperons by design ...but I'm not even sure which plane you're asking about. This video was about the Ranger 1.2m, so I assume that's what you were asking about.

[@louisstokes1898]

@@BrianPhillipsRC My first plane, dont have anything other than this plane and what it came with. But, after more closer examination, the AIL cable is a Y cable, it was just covering both AIL and ELV slots on the gyro, but not connected to ELV. So I connected the extension wire from elevator servo to that as you showed in video. Everything works as expected now

[@Tebly]

And the rudder for me is not working.

[@jeffberry754]

Question 1 do you know the P51 miss helen 500 mm plane by banggood? 2 and if you do whats your take on it?

[@louisstokes1898]

Hey man, There is a cable from the rear from the elevator servo. You didn't show where that connects to. Can you clarify that?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I'm not sure what cable you're asking about. Very sorry. Please try to TIME STAMP you question so I can see the context from where you're asking. If you're not sure how to do this, here's how - For example... at 1 hour 32 minutes, and 15 seconds into the video, you would remark @ 1:32:15 and I can snap to that spot and see if I can help.

How to secure the linkage rod to rudder regulator??? Mine is lose !!

Which color would you recommend looks good? Yellow Vs Red?

Can anyone tell me what his Allen key set is?

I look at the plane description and it comes with the floats for some extra money am I going to get scammed or? It's from the official FMS shop on amazon.

[@axal321]

do you have a link for china glue please

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You can find links for all of the glues we use at www.brianphillipsrc.com/supplies

[@nationalist1969]

What’s the difference with the yellow one?

[@robertgribbin6444]

Doesn't have a wing spar, and the tail section doesn't remove. It has the new version 3 reflex gyro, which is bluetooth. You can easily change gains.

[@robertgribbin6444]

That's if you have the original that came out before this version. They both fly the same. But, the wing spar makes the plane

[@andrewsesta8323]

Do you think I could use the v2 wings on the v1 ranger

[@robertgribbin6444]

Yeah, it's the same aircraft.

[@samfaitchmir]

My gosh, it's not a simple unbox it's also a one man show ! Good Trump impersonations... by the way ! ;) Anyway, at 1st i thought "damn 2 hrs for a v2 review...." but i definitively don't regret and recommand everyone to watched it event if I couldn't done it on a straight ! You go far beyond opening a box, plug in battery and the so easy "whaou amazing!". I learned quite a few as you mention such details around RC planes (I'm new in this RC branch). Obviously North America is quite better served in term of stock availability compare to EU (I'm in France) and some planes or spare parts are delayed by months.... HorizonHobby is knowned for that... what a shame. Hopefully, Chinese brands like FMS offers better availability ! So thanks for this video. Sam from France.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Sam! Glad you enjoyed the lengthy review. I'm already long winded, so it comes naturally to me, but with so much to learn in this hobby, I want to instill as much of what I've learned into the new and returning pilots as humanly possible. This is the only way we can do our best at what we aim to do...more information, more help, all while trying DESPERATELY to make it not totally boring. We hope we're accomplishing our goals, at least to a certain extent. Appreciate your kind words, and hope someone will read them and listen to your good advice ;)

[@martymcbride3234]

Hey Brian will a predator 2200 mah battery work with this plane and the charger that come with it? Anyone??

[@PoweredByAus]

What charger would you recommend to charge from a 12 volt battery?.

[@robertgribbin6444]

If this is a car battery, you need a charger with a DC to DC capability. Most batteries today are LipO. Choose the charger for your type. Pick a charger with a DC input usually 12 to 24VDC. They usually come with an XT-60 connector. Whatch your capacity

[@Discofpv]

First here ❤

[@martymcbride3234]

Why does it look complicated

[@braddarnell2498]

We need some Freewing jets. I like your channel but you don’t do planes that I want to buy.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Tell Freewing. 😊 👍

[@pauld7056]

I love your videos and you have taught me a lot. But what really bothers me is the way you make fun of the Chinese. Whether you intended or not I think your comments are very insulting. FMS produce some fantastic planes that are among the best. I really think it's time you gave them a little more respect and stop with all the insulting comments which often appear in your videos. Everyone deserves to be respected no matter what race,colour or country they come from.

[@jamesstuarttolford6554]

Dude, go to your safe place and stay in your bubble. If you don’t understand why he is that way, just don’t watch his video, SIMPLE. Keep your comments to yourself.

[@jamesstuarttolford6554]

In my opinion, he’s spot on and been spot on for a long time. I totally RESPECT this man, and the CAM Crew. I have learned and refreshed with his videos. I think the CAM CREW is as awesome as he is.
