I fly a lot of 3D with a Twisted Hobbys 39" Edge 540 V3 and get 4-5 minute flight times on a 3s 1000 using a similar setup to the Mamba. My guess is that it's due to the Edge being a little over 2 pounds lighter. If I spot an empty park it's pretty much my go-to since some of the more aggressive 3d maneuvers such as crankshafts can scare some people and dogs with the noise. These days I prefer to keep a DLG in the car since soaring is very relaxing and unobtrusive. Also, a single 1s 500 will get you about 1 hour of flying just to get to 3.8V(storage voltage) which is very convenient.

Alex, awesome review,! You gave us great insight into the flying characteristics of this plane, for me it would be a great replacement for my decommissioned Hyperbipe, but a much much better version (that flexible landing gear reminded me of it) Love there are individual servos, I don't think it's an overkill but a necessity if you want more precision when flying and having to go to balsa. We really like your review and looking forward to more RC plane content! Cheers from the Millennium park and happy flights! ✈ -S.

It is few years at leas I no longer watch flite test videos as I switched to other RC channels for few reasons. And now I watched one video due to YT recommendations. Was curios with the new personality in the film and bad feeling knowing the past of FT. Scrolled through few videos on purpose and was shocked no longer seeing you in the videos. Have you left the FT? For me personally you always where ambassador of FT . Always admired your sincerity.

I have ordered 2 YAK 55's, RV8 60E and the mamba g2. Out of those I've had issues with them not including the right screws, or prop adaptors or forgetting to include the wheel pants. If i've had this many issues i can only imagine how many more there has been. Still haven't received the mamba but at least i know what to expect. Also customer service isn't great and never get back to you i'm still trying to collect my parts from them so i can fly my planes and it's been over 2 weeks.

Flex innovations makes some nice stuff. Their rv8 60e is an amazing plane. It's been my go to daily flyer since I got it. Flies so dam good no matter how you want to fly. Only thing I didn't like is that it's advertised to have a custom designed wood prop. But when you hold a xoar prop next to it they look exactly the same

Not only that, but they can't keep their "proprietary" props in stock on their web side or in the local hobby store(LHS).

I agree with the decision to change it. Drive on no longer fit the direction of the channel. Much easier to market yourself than a brand. We all saw what Peter did without brand ties.
