Just got mine and it does the same thing.. I am glad I found your video and you tried a new servo. I now think its a defective stabilization board. Already got a return and exchange filed with Banggood. Hope the Spitfire is not like this. I love the P51.

I am having similar issues with my Eachine BF 109. Your video has been a great help for me to decide what I am going to do. What I plan to do is replace the receiver with a spektrum compatible receiver. But that will have to wait until after Christmas. I will release a video of the whole replacement of the receiver.

That was a rough maiden Blowy . I've Never seen that happen to a servo in 20 plus years of RC . Looks like that board is no good . It is very disappointing considering the price they are asking for these mini warbirds now . I hope you get another board in it and we see it fly properly soon . Best of luck dealing with the BG warranty claim dept . They are refusing to replace or refund me for a VERY BROKEN and bent RC truck that was shipped to me 2 week ago .It arrived damaged .And I filmed it all during a unboxing video . i have sent them all the info , pictures and videos they requested MULTIPLE times now and they keep losing them or say we making a decision and i hear nothing . I get lots of stuff from them , but I have cancelled every single order that has not shipped , if they are going to treat customers this way over clear cut issues of damaged or broken products then I will take all my business elsewhere .

@@BillKisel Thanks Bill , And I agree with you that they are hoping I will just give up now . I don't like having to say it , but I think people deserve to know I have filmed 3-4 segments on this particular issue but have NOT included or released them yet because I was trying to give them the benefit of doubt and extra time to do the right thing . I have no intention of trashing any company , But I will always be honest with folks and not just ignore failings in these companies or the products they sell . For some people this might be all the extra money they could save up and afford . It could be the only present someone gets . It could be the only plane someone buys . It would be a shame if it happened to them as well . And it is bad for the hobby and industry to if they sell junk and won't deal with warranty or defective product issues .Cheers to you

Sorry to see that. You fell victim to poor quality control as I did. Three different birds with three bad circuit boards. Did the same as yours Blowy. Also had the same return/repair problem as Phillip C. I gave them all info. and video. Told me to wait for answer then closed claim for no contact with them in 7 days. I was polite in all correspondence. Won't do business with them anymore. Fixing myself. Found receiver/gyro on other website.

Not too promising mate! Also just a suggestion - when you are demonstrating a model that allows different Flight Modes/Tx Stick Rates it would be nice if you announced (both by voice and written overlays) which you are using at any particular time. That way the casual punter could get a fuller picture of how things will react in his own hands. ;-)

I am now a step ahead! Same, problems as you showed us in the video. No centered ailerons at the ground and no expert mode available ……. But i‘ve tried this bird today in calm wind conditions,- it fly or it die!!!! 1.) Plug in your lipo and hold the bird leveled to the ground in the other hand,- wait 3sec. 2.) Switch on your transmitter for binding. 3.)switch to beginner mode. 4.) Shake the Bird,- (notice: the ailerons are not yet centered!!! 5.) give 3/4throttle und throw it. You will see this little crappy thing center the ailerons at the first second „in flight“. I have removed the landing gear and the tail wheel, than the CG fits perfect too. The bf109 is a little bit heavier than the other 400mm Eachine Warbirds,- but without the gear, it goes in manual mode near vertical and flys as all the others of then. Regards from Germany.

@kmostachov2 жыл бұрын
Some of fellow reviewers say that a safety feature has been added to the remote: expert mode is available only after you disarm the left stick and then MANUALLY change mode. Even if the switch is in expert mode, disarm will still activate intermediate mode. This is done to prevent inexperienced pilots from full-manual take-off. A good idea, I must say, but not too straightforward implementation. But beside this, in your case something else is also wrong with the plane electronics.

@@blowy48flyrc , I am not 100% sure of this information, because I do not have the Bf109 myself. But I have seen that seen this on KZbin recently.

Also had the problem of getting a stuck servo in expert mode OR engaging any "maneuvers" like loop or barrel roll. The plane just got in a scary death roll and plunged into the frozen dirt nose first.. I tried many things but ended up getting the confirmation on rc forums that they set up the gyros and flightmodes differently and ended up having a wonky fc board on the bf 109. Other members swapped it with their newest one (the spitfire fc board) in which they set the gyros snd modes as in the previous ones (before the bf109s, which clearly indicates they realized that there IS a fault in the product) and this worked perfectly well. So I ended up ordering the Spitfire fc board as well...my bird has to wait a long time in the hangar in order to get an update banggood is charging the full price for. They are very uncooparative and are constantly hiding themselves behind funky language "difficulties" or technical gibberish. Or for the custumors to wait out the complaint time frame. It's a real shame.

Provided you have access to the usual 2-blader I'm not sure why anyone would risk the currently non-replaceable display model 3-blader (which in a rough landing is guaranteed to have 1 blade in the break off position.) The 2-bladers can be broken in a full frontal collision but only rarely.
