[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Merry Christmas to all!!!

I do like your new procedure of going over the plane after the flight. Keep doing it this way is my vote.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks, I am always open to try things to focus on the plane and give as much info as possible along with the fun of the flight! i have gotten good feed back on this so we will be keeping it.

I like the new video format for the settings of the plane, great flying and landings....jeff.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thomasschmidt8644]

Just a reminder you can land with takeoff flaps (half flaps) when it's windy. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yes thank you.

[@DronemanJoeRc]

five mins into your build video I bought this bird. Its a great bird and I was talking to FPV builds rc and they are very friendly and fast to answer questions. Great Great bird

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Enjoy it

[@jerryc1491]

Nice job. Does look a lot like the cirrus sr22t. Merry Christmas 🎅

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! Yes and it flies similar also.

[@kevinellerbroek1812]

Merry Christmas!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Merry Christmas to you too!

Because of their fat fuselage usually Kavan models are very sensitive with cross wind. Enjoy your splendide Kavan Bristell Guy !

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yes they do, Thanks!!

[@DronemanJoeRc]

just curious bc you mentioned on the flaps settings being like the eflite cirrus setting which are up -100%, mid 0% with a 8% elevator and land 100% with 10% elevator and speed 2.5s. just wondering if you felt yours was better and in your setup video you was using a ar637 and in this video you was using another receiver. just want to know whats up and like you this is a new bird and Anthony is good but doesnt use spektrum products so he doesnt have much info to give on it. Thanks again my friend let me know

[@fpvbuilds2023]

Merry xmas my friend!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi 😄 👌

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

😀 hello back!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks! Glad you stopped by!

[@The725Trap]

Maybe your club needs to think about adding another runway at 90 degrees to the present one. My club Midwest Airwing in Pontoon Beach Il. has that setup.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

They have talked about it many times, but that is a bit over our budget right now.

[@oldmandoingstuff8997]

It's a Christmas Miracle F.G. NO CROSSWIND, LOL

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Actually there were pretty good crosswinds that is why I did so many go arounds. LOL Thanks!

[@lwrandall]

That is a good looking plane. Have you looked into the Avios Super Tucano? I do like your new back to the bench segments.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I have looked at it but I keep seeing many quality control issues with it. Also dealing with HK with issues has always been hit and miss for me. so I may be passing, if only Motion or banana hobby sold it I would already have one.

[@lwrandall]

I had one from the initial shipment. It had nose gear issue with some nose gear retracts being defective. HK replaced those of us who had the nose gear collapse and replaced the part on future builds. The other issue is the elevator tips do not have any reinforcement so it could have excessive flex. Easy fix with a piece of carbon fiber or a toothpick. This plane is an absolute pleasure to fly. It lands so beautifully. Check out 2 brothers review. I learned something a while ago is, don’t measure a company on a mistake they made but measure it on how it handles it’s mistake.
