Thanks fire bringing this sweet plane to my attention Steve! I definitely plan on getting one. You two have a fun chemistry. I had lots of fun watching you! Thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Our pleasure!

[@robweaver1075]

Great report.

[@sumner407]

You and Jedi Steve make a good team. Looks like a fun plane to fly. 👍👍😀

[@scottthomas8136]

Steve, I can’t believe what a great pilot up e become since you first started flying planes (in lieu of drones) in just a few short years. I’m amazed. I started on planes and switched to drones a while ago and it’s been much harder to master a different type of flying. But you learned quick! Good job. 11:55

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@rc-fannl7364]

Looks like a fun flyer, a step above the 560 in terms of speed

[@ronboFPV]

You really find some very cool aircraft for RC fun. That was a once in life time shot during the mid air crash - crazy flying.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks for watching

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

Gravity was extra harsh on the flight line that day. That mid air kiss was crazy but great footage.

[@dronepilot260rc]

Just bought some foam board, I may try out this design lol

[@Radiolink_official]

Hi, you can try to calibrate the airplane to solve the problem of the head lolling during continuous aerobatic maneuvers at Gyro Mode or Manual Mode. Step: calibrate by pulling the left stick to the left bottom and the right stick to the bottom right, a 20-degree angle is recommended.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, as per the manual, this was tried on the one I flew. Results were minimal.

[@Radiolink_official]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hi, you also can try to set EXPO on T8S. I will give the link to our team to watch and try to help you.

[@Robde84]

I loved the video, the action and the crashes!

[@willrine8614]

Fun video ! 😃 You guys make it look fun. Thanks Steves(s) !

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks, We did indeed have fun.

[@Slithh]

Nice beginner RC airplane! I love it! Looks fairly simple and easy to start flying. The range is comical considering you wouldn't be able to see this little thing more than a 25 or 30 meters away! lol Unfortunately bad timing for me. Car registration came up so I don't have the $185.00 or I would buy this immediately! Such is life. It was fun watching you gentlemen fly and I'll have to be happy with that for now! Thanks for sharing!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks for checking it out

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

Looks like a fun one outside, happy forth of july!

[@Radiolink_official]

Yes, sometimes it flies like a fish!

[@cannonjanes994]

Some how i managed to rack up three mid air collisions in 5 months... i think the static electricity on my FMS Maule is attracting the other foamies.. or it is me. Great video and the slow down proves who was at fault! (Ahem... Jedi!). Im gonna have to get a custom sticker that says "you got Mauled!" so i can hand them out every few months or so...

[@henrytaaffe7058]

awsome video Steve, and Jedi.

[@eugeneaustin]

looks a great plane to fly, i have never laughed so much you and jedi Steve make a great team, and i noticed jedi flew better then you {only kidding} looked at prise a bit pricey for me but can have a lot of fun, great review as usual.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have been flying RC planes for about two years and Jedi Steve has been flying RC planes for about 40 years. He is a wee bit better pilot than I am.

[@the_rat_run]

That was silly fun to watch, thanks Steves!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

I like the set up great information

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good afternoon captain nice review cool set up

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks

[@thaacordialsankar467]

I'm waiting for DJI to make a crash proof version of this. Actually, I fly a lot of toy grade planes, mostly eachine warbirds, and think the Radiolink D460 looks good. Just wondering if crosswinds affect that design? Looks like it might be difficult to make precise tight turns.

[@Radiolink_official]

Some users thought it is easy to turn, and less turning radius.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Looks fun

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

I'm going to get one and use my Radiomaster

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, a PNP version is available

[@FATSNAIL-FPV]

​@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeeees!

[@Radiolink_official]

Yes, you can, the flight controller supports a receiver that has SBUS or PPM. If you are not sure, just contact us, we will help you.

[@julianmclean3869]

Holy Crap Captain!!, who needs "Tractor Man" to cut the grass !!! (very impressive by the way regards the initial crash / mow some grass!!!); at EQ of approx $250 AUD, a very cool RC, well done also to Jedi Steve !!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Tractor Man was in the background, Jedi Steve scared him away! 😎

[@lynsmith1096]

Great video Steve

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks 👍

[@scottthomas8136]

More Jedi Steve!

[@view2311]

CaN you please do a review for AE86 pro max plus 4k drone .ty

[@wesleycox3536]

Wish they did it in bnf

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I believe they have a PNP so you can use your own radio

[@Radiolink_official]

We have PNP version on sale:)

[@Manny7RM]

What a comedy😂😂😂

[@mhmphotography400]

OMG I need one of those ….. how many channels

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

4 channels

[@norberttapolcsanyi7671]

this is a nice Review

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks

[@detroy1234]

Walkera f210 is it still viable as a good fpv drone in 2024 getting one for $150 on marketplace

[@PISQUEFrancis]

DID YOUMAKE A CRASH REPORT?

[@mhmphotography400]

Ok I just answered my own question…. I saw your link to Amazon….. have you tried launching by the tip of the wing

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes

[@Canadianidiotisreal]

Because you get so many drones and stuff

[@CD480]

looks like a little stingray when you're flying slow with high alpha, kinda makes me wanna put a tail on it. lol

[@Radiolink_official]

haha, I google the stingray, it does look like.

[@Canadianidiotisreal]

What do you do with all your stuff after you film with it?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I sell it so that I get paid for my efforts, then put the cash towards another product.

[@dondupuis4007]

Look how many times you guys didn't put the switch right, not good. Steve you did a great video and the plane flew cool, but having to have to switch from manual the stability, is a turn-off for me. Maybe they need to add wheels for take-off? I like how slow you could fly it.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I believe it was designed to be launched in stability mode, but to do that you’d have to launch it at no angle (launch it level to the ground) and hope you get your hands on the joysticks before it hits the ground. If someone else launches it for you then it can easily be launched in stability mode.

[@harrysmith7524]

What do you Use to mount your camera?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Double sided tape

[@Bswithjay]

Can we put a tomato rather than the camera on the plane please?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Cherry tomato

[@yakacm]

Steve's kinda mean to his guests, lol.

[@Idkisme529]

Steve where can I get your stickers

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I give them away for FREE each November/December. A video announces the sticker giveaway

[@dondupuis4007]

Seem fast…

[@noamitzhak6731]

[@aquwarium-_]

230€ for yust a foam bord motor servos nahh bro

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That does sound expensive

[@kanarimentos7056]

$200 for this junk no way

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It’s certainly not junk but it is rather expensive

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Odd that you had so much trouble launching these in "Beginner mode' Steve? Plenty of other videos showing no trouble. One of the best 'Show and Tells" is by a Chinese guy apparently out of Hong Kong. (hobbyintelligenceagency) That's if you can negotiate the (not bad) auto-translation of his native Chinese. Possibly you just needed to re-calibrate the "Gyro Level Attitude" to suit - flat plan-form foamies generally require a good nose-up setting depending on how fast you intend to do most of your flying. If launched in "Mid/Gyro/Rate Mode" by just holding by the tail pointing up, these have plenty of power to weight to just torque-corkscrew skywards! Radiolink stuff is currently over-priced for what they are - essentially just flat foamy EPP Flite Test planes. But, like the former "Jap Crap!" of immediate post WW2 days, it is improving from "Chinese Junk!" quite rapidly. The whole package, though a fun little toy, may not be top-flite bang-for-buck yet, but the receiver and stabilizer in this ARE good value for cheapie builds. The receiver is supported by Multi Radios as well.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have flown several of the RADIOLINK planes which use the current GYRO and they do indeed behave the same if attempting to launch in stability mode. Those other folk probably simply launched in GYRO or MANUAL mode as we did. The only way we could get it to launch well in STABILITY Mode is if you just let it fly out of your hands level with the ground, but you have to get on them joysticks quick or else it will hit the ground.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 We have that Radiolink Byme-A v1/v2 stab in quite a few planes. LIDL Chuck Glider conversions, AtomRC Flying Fish twins, a smaller knock-off of a FMS Fun Cub and another couple of rip-the-guts-out-and-replace Mini Trainers. Provided they had a reasonable power to weight ratio and were set up correctly, simply holding the Tx (mode2) in your right hand with your thumb on the right stick, moving the throttle up to 3/4 or so power with your chin/mouth and tossing just a couple degrees above level with your left hand always seems to work for us. Not intending to shell out the overblown asking price for any of the Radiolink Flat Foamies to prove/disprove a point but just noting that others on the Toob don't seem to have the same trouble with launching them. But maybe they are just conning the punters?
