Flite Test - Flyzone DHC-2 Beaver - REVIEW

[@isoldemarangelis5096]

Great review, enjoy the humour, never boring when the two of you are reviewing a plane.

[@RedCornStudios]

My friend works for Hobbico and I have been asking her to send you guys stuff! No credit but glad you guys got some stuff to review.

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

You guys are killer with the Beaver test and video. Got it soon as it was released ordered through Hobbytown usa for 209.00 w/anti-link worth 24.99 Floats come w/ it like you showed in video. I love Flyzone and Eflite they are at the top of the game for real. Quality + affordability for the average working folks.

[@PC9JEFF]

I've had one of these for a couple of months now and it is the funnes plane I have in my fleet at the moment. Great review guys! J

[@landocreamcheese5126]

I brother in law bought this. It's awesome! such a nice looking, complete kit for the price. I don't think you can beat it.

[@that1campingguy]

can someone tell me what the make is of the Cessna shown at 3:16 it looks like a exact one i have that is unbranded and im having a hard time finding parts for it. Thank you

[@wills.3817]

thanks for reviewing the dhc-2 beaver i really wanted to see how the beaver would behave in the air and you guys rock thanks!

[@aesoft2009]

I really liked this episode, it was more filling than some previous episodes... I mean lots of air time!

[@RCINFORMER]

I flew a new one of these the other day for a friend and trimmed it out for him... it's very light and a nice flying plane!

[@gascat100]

just a tip, be careful when screwing the landing gear of stripping the screws, also i had a screw break on me so you might need more screws so i would buy some before i fly. other than that amazing plane!!

[@CODXp3rt]

I'm a big fan and when I saw this plane I wanted to see you guys fly it so I really loved this video.

[@DJ.Sylveon]

What makes it stable (from what I see) is what I like to call Elerlets. Its like putting winglets on your aircraft. Putting it on the elevator rather than the wing just helps with yaw motions a bit better.

[@jnrocks1]

Yes! As long as you use the same brand rx with the same brand tx (ex. jr tx to jr rx or futaba tx to futaba rx) All servos in the the plane and the esc will work with any brand of radio system.

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

I’ve had this plane for probably 15 years still brand new in the box. Several others as well.

[@theimacman]

Yes, the AnyLink is compatible with the DX6i.

[@THESERVOMASTER]

I just bought the flyzone dhc2 beaver last summer because of flitetest. love it!

[@karltonholcomb6756]

Why do the youtubers give josh Scott a hard time?

[@rcwatch2789]

Okay I love this plane. I bought one about 3 months ago easy build. I haven't taken the floats off it yet and it takes right off the ground. I used a spectrum receiver and a DX6i. I found that programing a mix about 15% rudder with the aileron give a bit smoother turns with the floats on.

[@justinreberk3520]

First of I'd like to say, I really enjoy the reviews, I have the Beaver & have HAD it out on the water once, got up ok, maybe a foot or so off the water, got nervous (I think) & came down just hard enough to Break the carbon fiber rod in the lft wing, haven't had it up since, been either to busy with work or perhaps just not enough time!!

[@wingnutzster]

When Flite Test was still good - I loved my Flyzone Beaver, lost her to a brownout on a cheap radio system after hundreds of amazing water and bush flights, she was one of the few types I wanted to replace with the same model after the loss but they went up in price dramatically in South Africa from just under R2000 to well over R3000 in a just a few months and now they are rare. Great trainer but requires a little finesse and a little more fragile than maybe the average 4 channel trainer, gear is tough but if they break you have a problem.

[@geneticallyinferior1]

there are aftermarket rx u can use so it is not strictly necessary to stick to the same brand per se i.e. hobbyking has orange rx for fasst and dsm2. you can also use a spektrum dsm2 rx with a jr dsm2 tx. etc etc

[@rogerhartzell544]

Will my AT9S Pro. Radio link, transmitter, and receiver work? 6:32 6:33

[@CJLeTeff]

Great episode guys. I'd like to suggest using Josh S. as a training example for your viewers so those of us thinking of getting into the hobby can see exactly what to expect.

[@beaker668]

Wow. Whoever put that 60 inch plane down on what looks like a 20 foot long body of water that is about 4 feet wide has major flying skills.

[@MatthewShermanHappy420]

it needs bush tires.those little tires suck

[@DugWagner]

I've had the best time flying my Beaver. It's an easy going, honest airplane with no bad habits. The water rudders make it easy to keep tracking straight on take off, and easy to get back to shore when the wind won't cooperate. You should have let Josh Scott take it off. Show a little faith, man!

[@tyee4u]

"Beavers arent made to fly at all" haha. You guys are the best!! Awesome review. I cant wait to buy this plane!!!

[@dovahfpv1326]

This is a great planeReceived it as a gift, built it and it flies great Awesome camera platform

[@Soldier53flyer]

Can you put a bigger battery in this plane? and if so how big?

[@korkis2614]

does it need trimming ""?? it is easy to fly ?? I want to order it from the states....please answer me !!

[@johnnste1]

That's the first time I've ever seen a Beaver do a fly by with flaps deployed!

[@falconeaterf15]

I put a beaver in a potato cannon and it flew ok. Parts of it anyways.

[@thecaptain6148]

+falconeaterf15 How far did the tail go? It must've been pretty gruesome.

[@itmightberuben1372]

Lol

[@viktorc9682]

how many mins does it fly ? and does it fly out of the box ?

[@casycasy5199]

what kind of batteries did you use in it and was the c/g right for being right out of the box

[@VancouverIsland1]

Great plane the Beaver,I have filmed the real ones up close,But filming the martin mars water bomber was and is the coolest float plane I have filmed

[@stuartdunsmore4043]

you guys are great me and my son love your videos

[@Amosengineering]

Would there be a way to use a spektrum dx6i with this plane?

[@austinb5209]

need to do a review on the Dynam Super Detail Piper J3 Cub 1245mm. that would be fliteTASTIC

[@Amosengineering]

Do you need to buy the anylink thing in order to fly this plane?

[@1968ronron]

great flite guys as usual !!!

[@PC9JEFF]

Yes it is possible but why? The any link comes with it and it works awesome. I use a Futaba 9cap radio and I have had no problems at all after 75 flights or so. This plane is a must have if you are an rc airplane enthusiast and if mine hits the dust, I will emediately get a new one :)

[@meleosierra6498]

Recomendated For beginners?

[@theangrybeaverpilot3973]

How much winds exactly?

[@moyibi08]

How can I mount cox 0.10 to esc,flight controller and esc?

[@dontall71]

You guys rock, thanks for the reviews

[@josephaust2424]

Would this be a good 4 channel trainer?

[@FlyingMerlion]

Hey! You guys do a GREAt job with the reviews! Maybe you could tell us exactly what we get like unboxing vids?

[@Psalm-yg6yi]

Floats for water, skis for winter. I have this and it had skis, floats and wheels.

[@jailbreakman59]

in the generic at the beginnig, we can see a helicopter crashing into a mannequin, does anyone know what is this video?!

[@blake_niewoonder]

Would you suggest this to a beginner?

[@pipercubsrcool]

This is off subject from this video but what kind of FPV kits are available out there?

[@theimacman]

Well, for people that follow the actual definition of words,instead of their own contrived idea of what a review is, a review is purely a formal assessment of something. It does not have to cover anything more than what the reviewer chooses to cover.

[@JaredLieber]

can you connect it with a dx4?

[@gascat100]

hey i just bought the rtf version that comes with a battery, i wanted to get a more common battery that will let me have longer flights, i was looking at a 2200mah 3s turnigy, but the plug for the batteries is different, do you know what i should do? (this is my second 4 channel and i am still very much a noob so any help would be much appreciated!)

[@Trainedn00bdotcom]

Could I take out the Tactic receiver and put in a spectrum one?

[@Kaeden271]

Yes you could.

[@TechSeller]

Love you shows!!!! Love your side Kick tooo...Hes funny...TY both!

[@theimacman]

There is probably more to the story than you know, or it seems. Maybe they have to return the plane to someone and wanted to make sure it wasn't crashed? Maybe Josh Scott did try taking off, and had troubles, so he asked Bixler to do it. Either way, I didn't think it made Bixler look like a jerk.

[@djnokes1818]

Would you be able to put the anylink on a spectrum radio?

[@angryperson123]

Yes you can

[@djnokes1818]

Cycle.girl123 thanks

[@connorkern6656]

Where can you buy the rtf version for under $150

[@wnppmy]

Mines on the way, actually bought for the cool lights, love Night Flying!

[@jonheuer4945]

would it be a hard plane to fly if i have the super cub, apprentice and sportsman s+

[@potatoiskey1510]

if you read this no not realy it would be a good step up it has a bit more power but a LOT of features and is pretty stable

[@asmrdudeasmrdude]

Can you also review STM Beaver 2.4GHz RTF from st model

[@easygamer9162]

how much does it cost

[@SeaPancakes1]

Josh Bixler, what is your favorite electric airplane?

[@johndarby3811]

what battery did u use

[@tommyramsay7557]

let josh scott fly more

[@kylejohnson779]

Hey guys, do you think you guys could do a review on a Telemaster?

[@rcplanetnao9239]

Wich transmitter did you use to fly your airplanes?

[@caetanochappuis6396]

where i can by these plane??

[@Savagetoastness]

definately part 2 floats + snow = epic!!!

[@jorgeparra196]

can take off from grass?

[@singerfpv9044]

you guys should do a review on the crack yak 55 by twisted hobby's

[@RCpilot1013]

Another great video! Keep it up! Love the bever

[@epicknowitall]

Comes with an iPad too!

[@robertbowen9417]

I never got to fly mine. I bought one from Towers Hobby and got my account hacked. That doesn't have anything to do with the plane though. I really wanted to fly the beaver, however, on the first one, the first step is to attach the landing struts. The holes weren't pre-drilled and one of the screws snapped off flush with the fuselage. I sent it back and the next opportunity to get another one was late Aug. I found one in my local hobby shop. Happy once again, I proceeded to build it. The step that required plugging in the battery went badly. As soon a the leads made contact, the aileron servo fried. No more beaver. None to even buy. Bought a Sensei fs which has it's own sent of problems from the factory, but, I posted those issues on a Sensei review...Still want to fly a beaver

[@Trigger0008]

Same with my Beaver, self snapping screws suck for landing gear mounts. Recommend prefitting all screws and wing spar mount holes. They also cut off control horns so I can't set them for the throw that I want. The flap horn is too short and the elevator horn is too short because they snipped off the ends. After the wings are installed, there is no access to rudder and elevator servos for adjustment.

[@sthorn22]

Does come with batteries.

[@ilikchez]

Hey! You guys should review the 2013 Cadillac XTS it comes with an iPad!

[@03Cameron1995]

And where exactly was the DHC-2 Beaver developed, Flitetest?

[@nateberry9393]

what about specktrum? can that use anylink?

[@christywood423]

What is a PNP

[@grasshopperhawk]

You guys and your peeing and your dogs. One of my favorite planes to fly, thanks for the work.

[@brandonfrasier304]

You guys by any chance thinking about making a beaver speed build kit? Pontoons too

[@PKPpecheneg121]

they didn't scratch build it, look it up

[@rogerhartzell544]

What transmitter are you using? In this video? Any info you can give me a so kindly would appreciate. Thank you.

[@Savagetoastness]

YOU GUYS NEED TO DO A FLYING WING -- MAYBE A SCRATH BUILD OR A TECH ONE POP WING (EPP FOAM) COULD DO FPV OR COMBAT REALLY DURABLE

[@christerah]

This looks identical to the ST-models (STM) Beaver. Tinted windows being the only difference I can spot off the bat. Bet the spare parts are the same.

[@BMSWEB]

iPad . . . . LOVE IT Josh

[@theimacman]

re·view Noun A formal assessment or examination of something. I'd say that pretty much covers what they have done here. This is not a sales pitch... they didn't even say anything about where to buy it. Quit being a hater.

[@georgekasparyan1677]

Does it come with a 3s and a charger?

[@DEllisMusic]

+George Kasparyan It does but the charger is total crap. Takes about 5 hours to charge 1 battery.

[@flykaos01]

I am hoping to maiden mine tomorrow.

[@NicholasRacing]

Is the beaver balsa

[@theimacman]

So, to you, it has to have negatives in order for it to be a review? re·view Noun A formal assessment or examination of something. I'd say that pretty much covers what they have done here.

[@springboxlp1370]

I'm wanting to get into this hobby and I was wondering what was better for a beginner; this DHC Beaver or the E-Flite Apprentice? I had a tiny bit of experience with the HobbyZone Champ before smashing into the ground. Thanks!

[@samiam619]

Start with the Apprentice, join a AMA club and have fun!

[@kyleschieler1298]

B. Tickles Sport cub s

[@aarons7836]

raidein, apprentice, bix3 are all wonderful.

[@CadeMidgett]

does any link work with a helimax controller i got from the AXE 100 CP? by the way great review on that heli!

[@MrJonnymellor]

struts?

[@geneticallyinferior1]

is woods afraid of beavers? were you looking for a wood working channel with only 100% wood and no beavers?

[@aristrauss5575]

Could you please do a review on the Flyzone Cessna 182 Skylane?

[@iloverc]

nice job.. I also have to agree with many of other folks.. Josh Scott should have more chance to show his skill.. I am thinking he is about the same as my skill or better so I'd like see Mr. Scott flying to see if the product is good for me to buy.. Just 2 cents No matter what, still love the show.. keep up the great work!!

[@liver49]

Cool! What radio did you use to fly this bird?

[@xbpbat21x]

I ordered a beaver...but I got a plane.

[@mrmark8603]

Don't order crabs.

[@falconeaterf15]

Mine was not shipped with an I Pad. WTF!
