E-Flite V900: How many crashes before you give up? pffft! SEND IT!!

[@mountainr.c.]

I always launch mine in safe. plus if you update the receiver to the as3x plus it has hand launch assist. so far no crashes that way. but I have lost a few props! great job sticking with it man!

[@BullyBreedRC]

Thanks! SAFE definitely makes hand launches easier. The next couple after this vid were WAY better. I'm definitely 3 props in already 🤣. It'd be a shame to have given up on the plane!

[@michaelwhinnery164]

Dude,,, you are hard on these planes. That first attempt where you said " it went crazy" was clearly tail heavy. Have you ever assembled a balsa model ?

[@BullyBreedRC]

That's why I completely rearranged the layout to fix the cg by the next attempt. I also buy them used because I know I'm going to crash it. No... I'm not touching a balsa model when I've barely been flyin a year. Nor do I have that kind of time. I'm having fun with foamies 🤷🏿‍♂️

From experience, I always throw lefty even though I am a righty, because then I have my hand on controls not the throttle, I tend to fly without AS3X and safe since I fly ELRS but either way throwing lefty is the way to go, much easier and much more control overall in my opinion

[@BullyBreedRC]

After I finally got a flight, U realized the hand launch waa WAY easier than I made it. Just needed to throw it like I meant it 🤣

[@ryanrekz7744]

@@BullyBreedRC I've had that with my little edf Viper

[@Glutenenjoyer.]

My v900 randomly turns off in the air, it already has done it 3 times, I’m not fixing it. It takes 2 months to get eflight parts in Europe.

[@CnRSPACE]

Can't you just use your iwn parts to repair it? Or do they use proprietary connectors

[@BullyBreedRC]

That bites. I'd swap it with Hobbywing and call it a day! 👊🏿

[@BullyBreedRC]

All the electronics can be swapped to any brand. And you can choose your own connectors if you're willing to solder 👊🏿

[@CnRSPACE]

@@BullyBreedRC this is what I was thinking! Get your own receiver in there maybe? And do the bodywork DIY?

[@BullyBreedRC]

@@CnRSPACE 100%! Mine had a reciever swap, paint and xt60 connections before I had the maiden. But to each their own. That's the beauty of the hobby. Some folks just want a RTF plane that works and won't di repairs. Some of us will fix stuff with packing foam, tape and glue 22 times before ordering new parts 🤣
