Drone Pilot Flies the A170 Boeing 787 RC plane - Review

[@crddrones3457]

Nice job flying Steve . Not a bad plane ready to fly plus EDFs and brushless pretty cool with rudder and elevator, sweet !!

[@glantern3]

I was impressed at how well it flies.

[@ChainsawFPV]

As a fan of the small planes, I have a couple Horizon Hobby UMX, and I love them. They are great to keep in the car, and stop at random small field or lot.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I am really enjoying the UMX models currently out there.

[@Astropowergtv]

Now you are doing something different and new and fun 🤩 stuff we need for from you hope to see more big scale plane

[@sheiladavis2304]

Ahhhh... Sunday one of my favorite days thanks to you Steve. Keep em coming. This looks like a fun plane.

[@Theartofemman]

Cool thanks so much for joining rc plane hobby

[@HcVRGbyOB9CHK0chBKaX]

Would love to see you use a chase drone/plane with an onboard camera to follow and film the lead/primary drone/plane in mid flight.

[@str8xrippin]

He does that sometimes

[@cypvh74]

If only they had a sonic cruiser model. Or the Boeing Blended Wing body concept. That was a cool concept plane.

[@bugsy742]

Is it me or does anyone else have a massive urge to fpv this bad boi? What am I talking about? Anything that moves I wanna FPV it! 😅 AND it’s own remote 🤘😃 Flying through the posts was ace 👍

[@martinsandqvist1726]

Hallo super work with your hat camera

[@marcoreviews]

You are right! Most plane rc companies tend to make their planes front heavy by default. I have flown a lot now so I end up modifying pretty much every plane I get to push that weight a bit further back on each plane. Sadly when I was a complete noob due to the plane being front heavy I would keep crashing the planes into the ground. Most people give up on the plane hobby for that reason. Not sure why the companies keep doing that. Of course the expert pilots all know this so they fix that or they spend all day hitting the up elevator.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

So true. Proper CG makes the difference in a good and not so good flight.

[@marcoreviews]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I really enjoy watching you fly it. Those new I think 30mm ducted fan engines are revolutionary. They are also quite hard to come by. I wanted to buy some from eflite but so expensive and they come disassembled. Almost better to buy this plane fly it into the day it crashes and recycle the beautiful engines for projects one day down the line. Looks like the landing gear is good! Can take a rough landing.

[@jaspreetmander3874]

I got new another same plane & found new solution of slow safe landing. Attached flaps permanently with glue this lower it’s landing speed & drag they also help in short takeoff but on other hand flaps effects little on cruising speed when they down all times. Only If company provides Option of Flaps like Horizon Hobby Planes then people will get more fun by purchasing this plane . Landing gears are bend due to hard landing this also improves with help of Flaps.

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

For a beginner plane it’s very nice and appears to fly great. Very good review Captain.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@914va]

Nice flight!! THAT IS not a beginners RC. Get some Eachine warbirds....perfect for a new RC pilot. Then bounce over to this one!..very cool design.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, the Eachine warbirds are VERY beginner

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yep. Those "beginners" and real amateurs at Tokoroa do seem to like to fly them too. 🙂

[@nickvledder]

Would be nice if they sold just fuselage, motors, props combo. In that case I would definitely make the rudder controllable. Next I would put in some decent servos and Rx to connect it to my Jumper T18! Nice plane, good video, thanks for uploading!

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Really nice set up i like it cool colors

[@newtoodrones5568]

Looks really cool in flight.

[@aerialdronevision]

As always a Cool comprehensive review Steve 👍. As a droner(mav 3), this baby looks like a lot of fun, lacking turn ability and your right it looks really cool doing low level fly-by's, even sounded sweet, Thanks Steve I enjoyed that :)

[@Darkwormhole777]

You could do some videos with some fpv systems, how to set up and what it would look like on all those rc planes, boats ect.

[@michaelmyers6372]

Love the drone and the Channel

[@adamadamski1650]

I love Your channel. You not only doing the test of drones but different toys of this type. So my thumb goes up 👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks 👍. You'll find that most people that only stick to one hobby get kinda boring and give up the hobby, but those who try new things in the RC hobby, stay in the RC hobby for a very long time.

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video! Very Nice Boeing RC Plane! Thank You.

[@MabrysDad]

I’d love to see that on floats!!

[@dan8402]

That looks like is have a ton of power. Always fun to fly I am sure.

"I don't see any damage" *front wheel severely bent*

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Yep. I can see anyone who gets 1 of these pretty quickly replacing that weird looking spindly undercarriage with 3 loops of solid cable tie or line trimmer cord. They'd take the sting out of a hard dumping after a hand launched flight much better. ;-)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha... the wheel was like that from the start (it just snaps in place).

[@lynsmith1096]

[@rc-fannl7364]

Afaik the radio should bind with Futuba S-FHSS and have 10 place model memory, at least the X6 and X7 radios did.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

The X8 XK radios (as from the XK X420/X520/X450) certainly DO NOT use Futaba S-FHSS. The small K110 etc helies, some older drones and also some older planes did and could be bound to the X6/7 radios as you say.

[@play4_the_lolz54]

Do you have som information about the DJI FPV mini, I have heard some rumors and would like to know what's going on. Thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have very little info, other than it probably has 2.5 inch props, so that tells you the size, and it will be very much designed for beginners with plenty of stability & gps.

[@mz203]

What is the size of the battery? I can see it is 3S, but I won't be able to buy the same but similar.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not sure. I don't keep RC products beyond a year so this one is no longer in my possession.

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve,Joe and Steve.....Nice demo of the 787. Looks like it could be a hand full for a first time flier.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

This one does have some speed to it.

[@MammothPaige]

Very cool

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

A bit on the expensive side but flies pretty well. More suited to the fast and furious brigade than "beginners!" X8 radio suggests another sub-protocol of XK for the Multis. "Since I am beginning to like RC Planes I thought, "Why not, let's check it out"."... If true you might like to try the AtomRC/Eachine Flying Fish. Sub 250gms even with cheap FPV and a multi-mode stab like a RadioLink Byme-A fitted. Wide flight envelope to suit all from Grandpa to loony teen speed freaks! Assessment of long term reliability still pending yet.

[@Studdabob]

Bought this last week just after watching your awesome review! I failed the landing tho and one of the engines fell off (lucky it came off clean, no damage) what glue do you recommend for strong hold?! Hope you reply! Thank you

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I use either FOAM TACK glue or CA GORILLA GLUE (like a type of crazy glue).

[@jaspreetmander3874]

You are right it have limitations, it’s shape very good looks like Airliner but no flaps , ailerons in center very wrong, No Glides very harder to land. Takeoff good , cruise good but when lands not slow down even cutting throttle it falls , on little throttle it fast enough not lands even broken at landing time. I flies regularly Horizon Hobby Planes & other Chinese Models but by this Plane my Fun turned into Tears when it broke at landing time very harder to land . This Model know only take off & Cruise but not know how to land as no Flaps Ailerons in center useless. No Functional Rudder. Front Tire looks ugly & broken at first landing. No Low battery indicator beep on controller . On low battery it suddenly starts Falling at distance place. Shape looks like very good, material is good but works very bad totally a waste of money. Thanks

[@theNEWTful]

High wing loading and low drag makes for a fast landing….lol.

[@mz203]

Hi! I bought 2 of this plane, but due to the same symptom I can't use it: when I plug the battery, only the right stick works, but not the left (throttle) stick. Any idea why?

[@mz203]

All the 4 cables are plugged in

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Sounds like it is not linked. Move left joystick to top and then bottom.

[@mz203]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 it is linked, because the right throttle is working fine.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@mz203Yes, but you did not unlock the motors. Read the instructions.

[@mz203]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. I did not see anything about "unlocking the motor". Can you please help here?

[@shsechas]

Nice plane and flight Cap. I think as a beginner I would lose it on the first day.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Oh, that has happened to many an RC Plane Pilot on their first flight of any plane :-)

[@billhackner4724]

5 to 8 minutes is low. I've had beginner rc places same size you are showing and they ran 15 to 20 minutes. But it is good for a park flyer

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

EDFs are pretty well always inefficient. You pay dearly for all that speed and noise. For all that this seems to be a better performer than the junk that XK has been putting out lately. (EG the A160!!!) But unfortunately the high price will limit its uptake even if no major issues surface.

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Super 🤟🏼😎🤝

[@sushenpeiris4846]

I thought it was the real one

[@ronbrooks6547]

Decent for a kid. Seems like I would have to pay more for a more realistic Airbus RC or Boeing RC

[@ronbrooks6547]

8 minutes isn't enough. They need one that flies for 30 minutes.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

RC planes all fly on average of 5 minutes. Anything more is a bonus.

[@r.r-vr4684]

When your kill the throttle...that plane should be steady balanced!!..not nose down instead...which means your nose is heavy. That is not balance man. Use simulator to learn how to fly rc plane...that is the right and safe way. But thanks for the video anyway...
