E-Flite Ultimate 3D - My Last Flight - Model AV8R Episode 127

In Model AV8R episode 127, we feature the E-Flite Ultimate 3D in Adam's last flight ever at the old Fayette Flyers Club field. This flight was shot on December 31st, 2023. This is a venue we've flown at for years, and it has been the venue for some great content on our channel. The land is being repurposed, and the club has moved locations. We will miss this one terribly. We thought we'd share this bittersweet flight with you. Enjoy!

"I did a knife edge out of a screwed up hover" That's completely relatable.

[@speedteamhpi]

Facts !

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol, it is for any 3D pilot...we all play off the screw ups if we can.

[@SlowFlyer85]

Adam like the new intro and should have said the dog ate my plane lol and if you mess up in flight I couldn't tell great flight and video 😊🛩🛩🛩👍👍👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Ha Ha, thanks Frank! I could tell...lol.

[@alexandernentwig9596]

❤👍🏻

[@Krash_fpv]

Thats how my homeyown club is...short super fast geotech runway with bice aproach from trees to right and a big pind on the left with big pines to fly in between off field...good stuff

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Nice.

[@IansRCExploits]

It's a great shame that you won't be flying at that venue anymore Adam!! I particularly liked all the STOL content with the Bush planes that you filmed there 😒 But at least your new club is everything that you need. Fab flying for your last flight!! And as always Heidi did the business with the camera!! Great Job 😀👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you Ian! We'll miss that field for sure.

[@airhammer6203]

An excellent way to say goodbye to a great old flying field, Adam. Cool screw up of the Ultimate, I mean flight, no I mean flying. Yeah that's it, flying......with screw ups :). New memories to be made elsewhere. The old ones are now on YT, so they'll last forever......maybe. A great watch, good sir. AirHammer out!!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man! Yep, onward and upward! I can screw up anywhere...

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Great flying, Adam hate to see you’re losing your field, but on to better things best of luck👊🏼👊🏼

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Jeff! Yeah man we'll do some cool things at the new place.

[@Retset]

Fantastic last flight. So sorry to see you lose this unique field. I always loved the trees backdrop, whilst marvelling at your depth perception!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man! Those trees have claimed some planes over the years! Lol.

[@smokeymountainrctravisThompson]

Great flight Adam. I hate seeing good places lost. I just got the ultimate, doing maiden in the morning.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man. We're getting used to the new place. Enjoy your Ultimate!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Great way to say goodbye Adam. I notice you use pulse the throttle when you're flying slowly, this is something I know little about, have you done or considered, a short series on aerobatic manoeuvres? Bit like Michael Wargo but friendlier 🤔😁

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Cliff! Yeah any time I'm in high alpha you'll hear that...some of it is the throttle moving a bit as I use the rudder.

[@davidsnyder238]

Bittersweet ending to your old field. This was a nice tribute/ sendoff. I hope you make many great new memories at the new field.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you David.

[@racerx600rr]

Hey! If you love the tight flying, you can always join us up at CCRC! It’s about the same size of field you just lost. It’s about an hour drive but it’s a wonderful facility!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I keep meaning to pay a visit at some point. I've heard good things.

[@ironmover5800]

The title had me worried something much worse was going on , that sucks to have to pick up and move , so much work involved

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Ahh sorry. We're good, and the new place will be great. Got to find some new Bush flying venues.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

I couldn't think of a more appropriate way to end the final flight than to hand catch the Ultimate out of a hover. Nicely done Adam!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Mike!

[@tughillrc6327]

Very sad you lost the feild.We lost two fields near me.The Red Barons club moved 5 years ago. The Mountain Modelers club is Remote I.D. so club is desolving. Club was refused FRIA statis.Nice flying.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yeah it is Tug. Sad to see them go on your end too.

[@Bellairvideo]

Wow dome flying skills that we all dream about Adam my friend. I will miss the highway traffic & Atlanta airport departures in the background … and it’s all there today, but look forward to your next flying field adventure. Well flown and well filmed ( Heidi) Looking fwd to your take on the new Micro Draco…. Nb

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you Noel! I looking forward to the MD too!

[@Tallguysrc]

Have lost places to fly before so I totally understand 😢

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yep, happens.

[@JimRyanAircraft]

Adam, seriously dude, did Heidi sign off on that hat? 😀 I'll confess, I have one just about as stylish. As for keeping your hands warm, many years ago I purchased a Radio Glove and use it to this day. I don’t think this particular brand is still on the market, but Amazon has a variety of knockoffs that look serviceable. Combined with a pair of lightweight open-finger polypropylene gloves, I’m comfortable flying all the way down to single digits. The polypro gloves wick moisture away from my hands so well that the plastic window will frost over and yet my hands are nice and warm. Highly recommended. I understand the bittersweet feeling of leaving a beloved flying site, especially one as scenic as yours. It reminds me of our local field for Cincinnati Silent Flyers, just 2 miles as the crow flies from my house. I hope you settle in at your new spacious airfield. Jim

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

That is my sexiest hat by far Jim. Lol. I'll have to check Amazon for a Radio Glove. Thanks for the tip. I'll miss that field, but we'll make new memories at the new one!

[@leohcheung]

Most fields go quietly without a whimper. This lucky field, now recorded for posterity, was blessed with a final offering of a passionate flight, “with rage against the dying of the light”… Nice catch. Banzai!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you Leo!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Ahh... the old 'Old Field Blues'. Great flight at the old field Adam, even if 'the dog ate your homework' 😄

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Gina!

[@45035]

Dude if I could fly half as good as you I would be over tha moon.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks very much!

[@jcb6713]

great way to finish and move on...all the best at the new location !!! 👍👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man!

[@SteffenRC]

Bummer about the field.. It's evident you really loved that field. I sure hope your new location brings the same joy. Good job flying that plane. You showed her capabilities very well..

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is Will. Thanks man.

[@rhuffines13]

nice flight Adam, love seeing the deer at 9:27 , hate you lost your field........

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man, we're gonna have a blast at the new place though.

[@williamhoodtn]

You don't have to be a perfect flyer every time out. Just do your best and enjoy it! Great flying regardless!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I do enjoy it, but pushing myself makes me better. So far anyway...lol.

[@MrTurboparker]

Excellent, yet bittersweet video, Adam. Sorry to hear that you guys lost your field, but at least you have some upsides at the new spot to help offset the longer drive.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Joel. My thoughts exactly. Onward and upward.

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

“Where one door closes another opens”. Adam, so true..You hear about these stories oh so often. Very sad. I’m so glad you folks have another field. I wish you all the best setting up your new field. Maybe pay a visit someday. Take care my friend.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Brad! We'd be happy to have you man.

[@rlbutterfield]

Sad about losing your field. I’ve been through that also. I’ll miss the beautiful backgrounds, the singing birds, and your well done bush footage. Great video, and an appropriate salute to many fond memories. 👍🏻🙂 I appreciate your comment about the cover up to your “ screw up”. 😂

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is, and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the footage from there. We'll keep on going, and find a new place to bush fly.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

New field sounds great. I should be called the Omega Flyer, I show up and the field gets closed down. Had the v1 Ultimate, fun plane. Great flying Adam, Jeff in LA USA

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is Jeff. We'll have fun there!

[@walharbay9383]

Sad times......

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

We hate to lose it, but we'll do great things at the new field!

[@tonydarst8211]

Terrible news about the field; sorry Adam. I’m pretty sure those trees would have cost me a lot of money because my depth perception sucks... LOL I’ve contemplated the Ultimate a few times; I may pull the trigger this season.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Tony those trees have grabbed a lot of planes over the years, Lol.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Always. Sux loosing a field, we are loosing ours as well, I believe they are looking for a new one as we speak. Orsum flight buddy. 🫡

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Dang Chris. I didn't know that. Can you still fly at your instructors field?

[@jollyroger2226]

Well, you gave it a nice 'finally' at your old field. That was some cool flying. So - at your new field - does this mean you will not have the full size aircraft sounds as background for your videos?

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks, and thankfully yes...the airliner noise really showed up in the vids.

[@Duckman7604]

This kind of thing really sucks, I live nearly 2hrs from the closest field. My flying is limited to a large soccer field on city property. The biggest issue with it is the grass is pretty tall over the winter.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yeah it does. A good bush plane might handle that grass.

[@JohnDoe50047]

Nice flying! Did you take the nose weight out, or do you fly it stock?

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I took it out. It is fine for a newer 3D pilot with the weight in. At my level I prefer the rearward CG and lighter weight. A CG that far back could freak out a newer pilot to acro though.

[@fpvfish6218]

You did the weight mod ?

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yep. For someone new to 3D its fine with the extra weight up front, as a more experienced guy I like the lighter weight and rearward CG.
