Build Review: Durafly Tundra 1300mm from Hobby King

[@vopvoopone]

I'm loving all the plane videos, it's my favorite part of the hobby with cars coming close after

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Nice vid, and thanks for your own enthusiasm 😉. Stuart.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you for commenting, Stuart. Have to say, this plane is absolutely fantastic in the air, what a great aircraft. Well done on this one, very well done. 👍🏼

[@josephfaucett4482]

what transmitter would you recommend for this plane, i am interested in getting into the hobby but i know nothing about rc plane electronics.

[@anythingrc995]

Great looking plane Vas, love the plane reviews keep them coming mate.

[@PhilipAlonzo]

im getting this soon cant wait

[@RCClassifieds]

We really enjoy your videos sir. Thanks for your efforts.

[@behemothfan666thompson2]

That's a nice looking plane with the paint scheme. I had a good chuckle after reading you're shirt, great video.

[@mitchellthomas2674]

Awesome review as always mate! I've been wanting this plane since before it came out!

[@timc7633]

great vid. looking forward to the maiden.

[@PeterWinnett]

Great review as always. How do you feel about the durability of this plane from the point of view of transportation. Can it be put together at the Flying Field and taken apart again each time you go flying? how long do you think it would last? the screw holes for the wing spares etc...Regards, Pete

[@nickhayley]

hahahaha.. I LOVE your shirt, man!!! I need one.

[@ryandorman8005]

great vid, would suggest keeping a piece of posterboard handy by camera for when you want to do a close up, just reac dwn grap the posterboard (or whatever is handy) and hold behind object, cam is trying to maintain focus on the back wall even with you and close up item up close, even a sheet of paper would do, just need to block out background temporarily and it will quickly refocus for closeup

[@JohnVHRC]

Nice, subbd, where did you get the non stock spinner?

[@theRCelement]

Nice looking monster truck/airplane :)

[@7grounds]

great review, whats the question to the last answer on your shirt?

[@Snakebite1968]

That's the most obvious one! "Can I have a go?" Lol

[@MrPilotnew]

ya what size spinner for the tundra

[@RCCentralmain]

Vas, if you want a cheap but good FPV set (goggles, camera, transmitter, etc), get the Hobbyking FPV Bundle. I got mine for $99. All you need is a battery and I love it!

[@TheVegasMatt]

Dying to see a Traxxas X-Maxx review! Looks Awesome!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Matt Holcombe I'm not getting that truck any time soon, so don't hold your breath. It's too expensive here in Australia ($1300-$1400) and way beyond my budget. Not to mention, Traxxas has just recalled the ESCs on those trucks, so probably a good thing I didn't get it right away.

[@TheVegasMatt]

+Aussie RC Playground sorry to hear the pricing. The Tundra looks awesome. Can't wait to see your flight video!

[@glennwalker2996]

hey vas i love your channel and thanks for all your wisdom it's helped me since i have joined this hobbie! a quick question if you have time i have a nero and i want more power but there is not much room in chassis could you suggest or recommend what my best option to get more power Cheers Glenn

[@paulwilliamson5783]

Right wing of mine won't attach and am afraid forcing it too much will damage the PCB or bend the pins - how was yours? Bit disappointed.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I do remember having one wing that was a bit harder to install than the other, but it eventually fitted fine. Try attaching the wing without the spar and then feed the spar in from the opposite side. See if that works.

[@mariusmac2005]

Very nice plane. You know rc cars did not disappear ? ;) Thank You for all the effort spent for us.

[@4thGloryMonday]

i so have to get this plane, looks way better than the hh timber.

[@InTheSh8]

The Dynam Hawksky V2 flies with a 2S 6000mah Zippy Hardcase from my Sabertooth! Usually I fly it with a 3S 2200mah Flightmax Zippy. So, don't worry about 3000mah+ for this plane. It might be impossible to hand-throw it, but on wheels the plane should have no problem to gain altitude after reaching the right speed for lift off. Flight characteristics will change of course. It'll be harder to land it and you won't be able to fly loopings at a certain weight, because it'll stall much earlier.

[@Snakebite1968]

That water rudder is strange, the official pictures and videos show it with rudders attached to the floats, not the rear wheel... I wonder if you got an early or late version...

[@FrankygoestoHobbywood]

it's a nice one..!

[@malelonewolf80]

VTOL? I believe it's a STOL plane, not VTOL. Do not think it has sufficient power to launch from a vertical position (handheld), but with the amount of flap throw it is certainly a short take-off or landing plane.

[@alexfeatherstone6676]

I think mine does, it has about 1.8kg of thrust on 3s, the plane weighs 1.1kg. It theoretically can do vtol.

[@xboxice2005]

lol your shirt thou lol,maiden my Durafly 1100 T-28 Trojan V2 last Saturday and a guys came over and yeah heeps of question wish i really don't mid but it wasn't a good time thou i didn't tell him that i just answered his question regarding the plane :)

[@dirtbikerbro]

I LOVE all your RC t-shirts, I want them! Where do you get them??

[@craigschofield64]

Dang Vas, you lucky guy! I have been drooling over that plane since I saw the teaser vid from HK but my budget isn't able to buy one. HK needs to have better shipping options for the U.S. they only offer the most expensive carriers here. I wish they offered shipping through our postal service the cost is half of what they offer now😟Anyhow maybe someday HK will offer better shipping choices here and I will be able to buy one, in the mean time I will watch you with yours😉 have a great day my friend.

[@nickhayley]

Ahhhhh.. just picked myself up a used one for $130 smackeroos! Can't wait for the glue to dry and the shitty weather to piss off lol.

[@martinturner5484]

If you want to dip your toe in to FPV the Quanum FPV v2 kit from hobbyking isnt terrible and its cheap (for FPV gear).

[@robmohr2007]

You didn't mention the ball links on the control horns. I purchased ball link pliers specifically for the assembly and I still had issues with making the connection without damage to the servo horn. I suspect the size of the pliers I purchased was not correct for the hardware supplied with the plane. Ball link pliers are only about $6 elsewhere but I couldn't find anything appropriate from HK. HK should offer ball link pliers as an accessory option which have been sized appropriately for this model. Also, the control horns for the plane are not offered separately, you have to purchase the whole wing if you damage the horns during assembly. Would be a good idea to offer the control horns and linkages as a separate kit. The only other issue I had was that the rudder and elevator connector labels were swapped. Otherwise it seems a great model.

[@Tasrod]

They should have included a spare prop. Every plane needs a spare prop one day.

[@juliusfr4008]

cool shirt....haha :D

[@blusharx]

The tires of the plane looks overscaled!

[@vopvoopone]

That's the point

[@miguelayala817]

+RC Menzinger AgrarService good for landings

[@rcfarmer5289]

put your name on the t shirts and sell them I would get one

[@slothFPV]

its not vtol, its stol (short take off and landing) vtol aircraft are things like harriers

[@rcfarmer5289]

Its a NUT not a bolt love your t shirt

[@Thuribles]

Here's my maiden flight - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4LLl6Fjo7-afKM

[@darcyfoster8880]

Make more car race videos

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Darcy Foster This is a video about the Tundra. I have about 400 videos on cars that you can view and there will be hundreds more in the future. Flying is a part of the RC hobby that I'm very passionate about so there will be more videos on planes in the future. Equally, there will be more videos on cars, trucks, buggies and the like, so just be patient.

[@lamatvlol9252]

You for got to mention the fucking rubbish servos besides that it flys brilliant

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Didn’t have any issues with the servos, so why would I mention them?

[@Scaze74]

Get FPV ;) You wont regret it at all =D

[@robmohr2007]

STOL, not VTOL.

[@dustinamaral9308]

no more planes

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Haha. Not going to happen, my friend. I love flying and there's lots more planes coming. Don't worry though, I also have lots of land based vehicle videos on the way.

[@dustinamaral9308]
