FIRST FLIGHT!!! with my new 3D JET! SAB Lizard

[@billknudson7895]

As a retired private pilot, I’ve come to enjoy the modern world of radio control flying. Lately, watching videos of RC events has become part of hunkering down for the evening. Every worthwhile pursuit always has its small group of those who continue to push their respective envelope. You’re among those who breath that rarified air, yet you never fail to bring the element of fun into the mix. You’ve never failed to impress, and have since become a model for the uncompromising spirit of pursuing and achieving excellence. That spirit shows in the beauty of the planes you build, and your off-the-charts piloting skills. Thanks for a nice ending to a long, hard day. I’m glad the Lizard went through her paces flawlessly. Onward and upward! Cheers!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thank you Bill, one of the nicest messages I have ever received on KZbin. Super pleased that my videos are being enjoyed. All the best! Martin

[@Rantanplan0815]

[@grahamlocke7650]

Thank you sharing àll your knowledge in a very easy to understanð format. Your builds are top notch. GOD SPEED to ÿou.

[@georgewatts9361]

Great Job

[@gyzfr6]

Great videos, great centerline run on takeoff and one of the greatest saves from a flameout.

[@richardwylie07]

To me JetCat is head and shoulders above other turbines. Great series... thank you.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Couldn't agree more!

[@KumaBean]

They must be good, Yves Rossy bets his life on them 👌

[@KarmaCadet]

Nice build!

[@greenalan12]

Best part 12:00 !!!! Impressive flying.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

I would call it the most scary part! hahaha

[@earlmauger3961]

What a Great looking plane.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Love it!

[@andrewtodd4972]

All worth it flys a dream, no breeze, and a bugger to slow up, awesome, absultly Brill martin

Thanks dude!

[@Markduffymodelflyer]

Awesome flying liked the dead stick landing

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

I didn't lol

[@gregoryh4601]

Martin. One Sexy Jet you built there, so fast Camera team lost it or could not keep up. Take Care. Super Cool Jet.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Yeah, need to get at the 3D so the camera can keep up and zoom in!

[@popeye7833]

Hello ! Did you test this model in EDF ?

[@Heli4213]

Thank god someone finally shooting in 4K. Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Some great flights and bringing her home with no fuel. I only have the Tortuga, one day I get the lizard. Orsum 👍🏻

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Yeah, was fun, and more to come!

[@RotorHead2652]

Brilliant flight martin.. Very smooth i got to have a close up look at the Tortuga at Weston park few years back and that was an eye catcher but this i really like.. That huge bubble canopy looks awesome.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Glad you enjoyed it, its definitely a unique shape!

[@frankleonard6291]

Great build, nice flight

Thanks again!

[@Brian_Christensen07RC]

Lower! JK. Nice video and please fly the plane to my front door. Oh wait... but seriously nice video.

[@davidmonck1595]

Martin, any update on the final setup. I'm going to use the same setup. Powerbox pioneer and the ISat gyro but with Jeti DS16 . Be grateful of the set up when its tuned in.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hi David, almost happy with my setup, so expect a full video in the next couple of weeks, will be providing all my rates and settings, just need to finish getting them spot on first

[@dannymurphy4940]

Awesome! Now can ask them to make a smaller EDF version?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

My next project is to build a Multiplex Funjet and paint it same scheme! Not EDF but almost! (PS, you can power the Lizard by EDF, it is a stock option)

[@reckemroysrc3764]

MARTIN P. INSANE IN SPAINE. WOW BRO SHE'S AWESOME 😎👍👍✌

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks dude! Cant wait for temps to drop and really put her through her paces!

[@knpjdad]

What is the shake test checking for? See everyone do it, never found out why. Thanks Martin!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Helps break apart any big air bubbles in the UAT, and filter them through while on the ground without risk, rather than having them potentially cause a flame out... Thats a theory, not sure if it works, but doesn't harm trying!

[@FabrícioAeromodelismo]

Gyro ?

[@pricelessppp]

Sick 3D skills & awesome jet!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Appreciate it! Thanks!

Awesome jet yeah that's it get all them bubbles out the fuel lines first

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

yep!

[@danielsegebarth1509]

Hi, you are landing with Vector ore without? I have damage the Landung gear three times on Gras Why ist comes realy fast. 😬

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hi Daniel, I fly with vector on always. At landing though, it makes no difference, as there is no thrust over the pipe so it doesn't generate any pitch change... I landed a bit fast in these videos, next day I have changed CG back a little and will try again, I think that mine is a little nose heavy still, and also can increase canard angle of attack so it is more nose up, then should be ok

[@alishanmao]

Oooo The Front Canards they can do some magic hahaha

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

And the vector thrust! =P

[@alishanmao]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC You have there something my man that can do some magical moves. keep them videos coming.

[@roymills415]

Great Maiden ! Are you happy with the MKS servos? Balance looks spot on!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Yes I am! They are responding great, seem an ideal setup for this model. Used a slightly larger battery than expected for turbine but other than that CG was indeed perfect!

[@roymills415]

Martin Pickering Hey I saw an old flight with the Krill Sukhoi, do you have any comparison to the CARF 40 percent Sukhoi? I’m on the fence between CARF or Krill, any pointers greatly appreciated, Moki 250 will be turning the prop. Thanks...

[@abdullah2696]

How many miles or hours can it fly by 1 liter fuel ?

[@martinw4380]

The Jetcat 130 Turbine will consume about 440ml per minute while going full thrust.

[@abdullah2696]

@@martinw4380 what is the price of 1 gallon turbine fuel?

[@martinw4380]

@@abdullah2696 i dont know, what kind of Fuel Martin uses. In my case i burn petrolum with 5% turbine oil. This is about 2,15 Euros per liter

[@dbfcrell8300]

Do multiple Hammerheads and see if it breaks in half.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

This thing is solid mate!

[@Darksagan]

Sick as fuck. The landings are dope.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Cant wait to get dialled in and some real fun!

[@anstores]

That was fun to watch Martin! That deadstick! You really keep your head cool😀👍 thanks for tip on the Crack Yak by the way, having a blast with it! Flying low all the time, keep getting better every day! 👍

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks! Yeah, was a scary one still tumbling! Awesome, great to hear you are enjoying the RCF! great fun!!

Awesome.....Alway's click like even when I don't reply.....

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thank you!

[@crazyaces9586]

Well,awsome job...well worth the wait. So how much trimming bad time not to have the video on your transmitter 😉 a guy was selling one because it was too fast....i was afraid to ask a price. LoL you put it through a test for strength, stress,etc .... 2 saves bigger tank jesus. 😉

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks 👍 Trimming was actually very good. Had a couple on the canard to get the right angle of attack and a couple of aileron trims, but nothing shocking. Only one save though, other I killed it as was coming in hot!

[@davidweaver4702]

Thats an amazing flying model. I cant wait to see you throw it about some more.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Can't wait to do exactly that!!

[@bruceyung70]

While I was a child back in the 70’s, I day dreamt of flying an RC plane ✈️ and sometimes driving a RC tank. This is not what I had in my mind. This is much crazier sh1t!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

It got cool !

[@kleinbottled79]

I never thought RC would become like this. Giant hovering jets with real jet engines, too cool! Love the design and paint job on this one in particular. Also had those RC day dreams, eventually got into flying, and now seeing 3d jets like this makes me feel like a kid again. I wonder, could that maybe be me flying a beast like that one day? Aspirational.

[@austntexan]

You should get into FPV. You and I are the same age. I've been doing it since 2013 and it's a great hobby. It's all digital now, so you can fly and view the flight in first person 1080p video on video goggles you wear. The control link is solid too. Almost no complete failsafes. In the event that your plane/quad does fs, you can have the onboard autopilot or FC(flight controller) fly it back to your location.

[@michaelpetale6872]

Great video Martín!..:) Martín why don’t you put an FPVcamera on it so that we can see in more detail what your jet does in the air? I don’t mean FPV it! Just Digital flying film? 😁😁😁👌👍🏻❤️🍾 hope to see you at the Ala Club in Lliria the next time you’rethere! 🙏😄😄👌👌👌👌 MP! ...my name is Michael Petale! We share the same initials! 👌👌👌👌

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Need to pick up a new Go Pro, not sure why my previous one decided it didnt like me any more! Wonder why?! lol Hopefully get back up to Ala, remember meeting there last time, when i had that bad day with the Extra! Need to do it again and put it right, eh Mr MP!

It has zoom, but then you would complain that it shakes or its not in frame, these things are dang hard to film!
