Flite Test - Rad Jet - REVIEW

[@Raycefan]

I waste A LOT of my time, laying in bed "unwinding" after the day on KZbin via my phone and iPad. I have to say, Flite Test has, over the last couple months, become my hands down favorite channel. Can't wait to schedule a trip from Alaska to Ohio just to meet up with and fly with the whole gang.

[@mallikwassim007]

Raycefan...... Well said... So I'm not the only guy who does this ... Hahha.. These guys are really informative and interesting...

[@aaronpenrose]

In 2011-13 flight test had it perfect. Now some other people are running this show and its not quite the same. The Joshes can not be replaced

[@k1ortia]

Thats what i thought, its more like a poor comedy scetch now

[@charliemcenery7853]

I defiantly agree!

[@scottfrank8805]

Well, ‘‘tis different, not worse, I rather enjoy Alex and Stephan as well.... hard to clone the first, right. For example, “wow this little store called Starbucks is cute, fun, great coffee, lets do the same thing on every corner in the world”. Yeah, different. And I like it “salute”

[@andrewwilliams5844]

I miss the old intro! Love watching back and seeing how much you guys have improved!!!

[@450hp202turbo]

Flying for 4 months now ,just purchased the 800mm radjet. AXN my trainer i just replaced with a fresh one i done with the glue gun ,ready to step up to next level , have a PZt-28 and fms p51 800mm , all great flying planes love them all , looking for some speed now , i have a spare axn 2700kv i might install into this radjet some time ,

[@toolmantim101]

I've had a Radet 800 for a while. It impressed me from the start. It was awesome, totally stock, out of the box.Definitely the best bang for your buck in this class of model. I too reinforced mine using satay (kebab) sticks in various places including the batt/Rx area, of the fuse as the Radjet will fold there if it has a hard, nose in, arrival,up the nose and wing pods.I added an fin to protect the prop (will bend easily) and fingers-it did not change aerodynamics.Strong tape on the nose too.

[@reefer2917]

If your an intermediate flyer, your gonna love the radjet! with a 2700kv with a 6x6 prop it's a missile! on 3s! even the 1800kv is a great fly! don't hesitate BUY ONE you wont regret it!

[@gazilew]

If you're going to buy the 800 get a prop saver and make sure you cut out further back in the body to push the battery back for the CG ,other than that a fantastic plane.

[@theimacman]

You guys said "Rad" and "420" more often than the latest issue of High Times. :)~

[@TrooperDoop]

Josh Scott walked out there with a transmitter and didn't even get to use it...... poor guy

[@SolarWebsite]

Excellent video and both planes look like incredible fun - especially the small one on 3C. Just wow.

[@RCllamadude]

i would reccomend a "step up" plane between them. maybe something like a warbird or a sport mid-winger, but you might be able to handle this, just dial in some dual rates and expo.

[@theimacman]

Do you think this is their last one or something??

[@the1stbuilder65]

you know `guys, I've recently been informed i may not have more than a year to live, but i do have to say seeing this in my sub box brightened my day :)

[@Raptor50aus]

Just bought the Radjet 800 with 2 x 1300mah 3S lipos for $121 shipped with EMS Cheap !!

[@wehrdo]

I kind of want to get one now. For $50 you get everything you need. That's impressive!

[@dctisthebest]

They are Micro jst, but the polarity is switched. So if you are going to use a spectrum micro receiver you need to switch the polarity in the plugs.

[@DonoghueRC]

I cant make my mind up . Should i buy the 8oo radjet with a 50amp esc and a 4s or a stock srtyker f27q for 70-80 euro more

[@Pacemaker476]

When did Justin Timberlake start pluggin RC? Lol

[@toolmantim101]

The 420 did not start off as a "Radjet 420" it was going to be something else in a completely different scheme-but it looked so like the 800 that it was dicided to "brother" them up.An inspired dicision by some really smart guys ;-)

[@bigflytrap]

Wow, looks insanely fast. The 420 model should come in green.

[@slap_my_hand]

The 420 must be blazing fast.

[@remotecontrolaholic]

Did you guys have trouble with it being nose heavy? at the CG specified by the manual, this plane required full up elevator to take off.

[@nickfury1279]

What kind of receiver is that in the little one? Something like that would be perfect for the 14-inch wing I'm building

[@Raptor50aus]

Yes I have the 27Q and the Scimitar.

[@bonifaciodachuva]

I would like to see you show the death spiral, do a vertical climb and let the plane stall like in a hammerhead, if i do this with radjet i got into a spiral spin that seems unrecoverable, you just watch the plane spins to the ground without respond to any input.

[@TheIronSavior]

I love the Power Glove.

[@raffman4266]

Where did you set your linkages in the control horn vs the servo arm josh for the radjet 800?

[@SoSPvPMC]

420 because it you crash you can smoke it

[@montego.335i]

i wish they had a link in the discription so i and many others can buy the plane/heli

[@sic-]

What connectors are used on the PNF Radjet 400? 'Micro JST' (Spektrum micro receiver connectors) or 'PicoBlade Molex' (Futaba/FrSky receiver micro)?

[@squidgersquidger]

Gotcha. Makes sense.Jeez it must be really ballistic on 4s

[@Kjetilaf]

try it out :D I didnt need high/low rates stock, but I absolute need them with 4s ! And just a tip : When i flew stock, it was a little bit nose heavy with a 2200mah battery. The CG should be in the middle of the grip to launch it is. AND ANOTHER ONE: NEVER LAUNCH WITH POWER ON! or atleast, not if you want to keep your pretty fingers :) I just take it in the wing on the side, and just give it a gentle toss with some power. Easiest way I think :p

[@HindleyFlyingClub]

Wouldnt mind knowing where you can get that little A-6 Intruder thats in the background at the beginning?

[@squidgersquidger]

Mine seems to balance well with a 2200 lipo. Inverted requires just a little down elevator and I launch like you cause I need my fingers for work lol.

[@Oneslowseven]

I balanced mine perfect with the CG provided in the manual and it wont fly......any tips?

[@remotecontrolaholic]

I'm thinking of buying this. Would you recommend this plane, or the hobbyking EPO parkjet? they both seem very similar.

[@laurencemaud8205]

Would you recommed putting carbon rods in the wing to give the extra support or just tape it.

[@ah63de]

what are the best settings on the transmitter? D/R, Expo and so on...

[@squidgersquidger]

I got the f27q Stryker last week. Flies ballistically and rolls really fast. Comes with a 40 amp esc and my meter shows it at 28 amp at full throttle so why would you change it.

[@MerlinPlaysMinecraft]

at 8:49 the little water mark in the bottom left corner flashes!

[@kohlmankeller2597]

Ok I've looked everywhere for those buddy boxes that you guys have and I can't find them to know what the price is so I can get my friends into the hobby to

[@Imjony5]

On rcgroups some people have recommended moving the cg 15mm back from the stock location.

[@stalyoni]

I have the micro radjet 420 on the way and some nanotech 180mah 3s lipos. Im also gonna try this little badboy on a 3s. Do you think the stock 6a esc will hold up for long? Or should I chuck a 10a esc in it

[@Tymopta]

What size 3s did he put in the little one?

[@flyingphoenix113]

Buy a radjet kit, add the turnigy Sk3 90mm edf motor, 120 amp HV esc, and an 8s. It will still cost roughly the same as your Stryker and be 80mph faster

[@Hocpuc4242]

Which is better: The Radjet or The Parkjet?

[@jordanlombardo]

would this be a good plane for a beginner/intermediate flyer?

[@flyinohio]

What motor and prop does the 800 use?

[@seanjuan1973]

I was considering a F-27Q Stryker but the rad jet is a 3rd of the cost!! Plus the F-27Q Stryker 180 sucks, one crash and it was $150 jigsaw puzzle... at $50 it wouldn't hurt the wallet so much.

[@120craigyboy]

Hi guys, great vids as usual. You 2 are what the hobby is all about 'Fun'. I am at intermediate level and I see that you have reviewed the RadJet 800 and the ParkJet Mk11. Which would you recommend out of these two or is it a toss up? Keep making me laugh :) Craig

[@Chio_OB]

Great video guys, as always a little cheesy but in a good way, keep making us smile and doing goofy, fun and serious reviews! Brilliant. Get those fleece/zipped hoodie jackets for sale on your website, love my hooded jumper (no idea if thats the right name). Please start selling decals/sticker packs, my Bixler and a few other planes want/need a Flite Test alien logo!

[@engineerahmed7248]

you guys never revived the grey yellow jet sitting behind you.

[@diggydice9041]

Once you buy a "Transmitter" I guess you've got to watch for Receivers that'll work w/ your set-up or install a new receiver that works with your Transmitter? Is that right? peace

[@alexmiller3717]

Hi does anyone know how to properly balance one of these.. everytime i try to fly it.. it doesnt climb

[@badkeene]

Hi guys , i am flying the radjet800 with the zippy 1300mah 20C , will there be any speed differents when i putt in a 50C 3cell ? Thanks already

[@spadethered3384]

I just ordered a 800 , going to get the 420 also , what 3s did they put in the small one .... woooooooooot.

[@kGCryTeK]

Would this be a good 3rd plane my first plane was the bixler and my second plane was a Super 3D flatform.

[@kohlmankeller2597]

Also I love flight test and I think it would be cool if they did a review on the um mig-15 edf jet

[@MrXplaneboy]

Can one (or both) planes be converted to EDF?

[@eoin483]

which is better 800 or 420 i think the 800 cause it is more visable

[@cam_3d]

420 flies much nicer =]

[@Aubatron]

What's the best PNF plane for someone who is trying to learn to fly? Would either of these planes be good?

[@ThundertrackerStorm]

I don't think that this is a beginner at all. If you want to learn, you can go with an apprentice or a supercub lp. If you want something more of a jet, you can build the ft22 raptor. I still wait for my transmitter, but when I get it, I can tell you what it feels like.

[@Kjetilaf]

ups, i meant if you were gonna upgrade to 4s :p i got the stryker to :) Try out 4S ! i gets much faster then ;) that was the reason for 60amp, but if you are flying stock the original esc works perfectly :D

[@Mrdinopilot]

Did these guys say bnf on the 800mm....that must be the reason why the pnf is out of stock maybe the next batch will come with the rx

[@Kjetilaf]

how is your slow harriers? if it wing rocks its to noseheavy :p

[@maahinberi]

Have you clocked these? How fast do they fly?

[@JulianGoesPro]

can the 800 take a GoPro as a FPV cam or would that be too heavy?

[@jeffthompson4276]

I don't think it's up to FPV, but prove me wrong & post the video.

[@smovie9]

how much is the plane?

[@waddac2]

Very nice planes

[@lubricantrc3244]

What No flying COW link? to something that has nothing to do with the Rad Jet?

[@2009PatrickWhite]

how many DX8s do you have now!?

[@flyingphoenix113]

Now this is a decision. Radjet 800 vs. EPO Park jet mkII

[@CalebGrabendike]

I can tell this is the fastest one you guys have dealed with

[@1717log1717]

Review the wingnetic !!

[@lubricantrc3244]

I love my 800 mm RadJet.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

The CG is much better located 400mm back from the nose, which is 15mm further back from stock.

[@dantheairsoftman97]

Could this be used indoors or not a great idea?

[@VladooDIY]

Not a good idea, i've got the 800, prety fast !

[@danisnotgone]

Is this video meant to be age restricted?

[@carboncubss]

rudder or rudder less? Big difference!

[@2000xlt]

bump for my question,,also I would like to see that plane run with a 4 cell, the big one that is.

[@Kjetilaf]

try out the big f-27q stryker ! change the esc to 60 and check it out ;D

[@2000xlt]

What is the music track starting at 3:37

[@GPNYishai]

these guys need more views

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

Full throttle works.

[@horaciomonterroso8159]

you should pay to HobbyKing with PayPal, if anything is broken or lost, PayPal take care of the refund

[@floopsfooglyfunhouse8797]

Getting high with my rad 420.

[@PixelatedHusky]

You sir are very clever

[@karoljanota3688]

Can everyone tell me why I can not buy radjet 420 at hobbyking?!

[@jared2235]

doing a review on the zepher v70 yet ? :)

[@aerospacematt9147]

These are most definitely RAD!

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

and now it has been re=released, now in hot pinnk!

[@remotecontrolaholic]

having done effectively the same, yes. Just make sure you get the balance right and start on a calm day, unlike me xD.

[@squidgersquidger]

Slight wing rock. Better inverted.

[@steveshlacker]

Heh, no "420" jokes. You guys have more self control than I do, thats for sure.

[@Maganzi]

Hi, is the Radjet Ultra for beginners? Is it hard to fly?

[@sebatt4939]

Very

[@Redneck5]

+Maganzi No way!! Hobby king says it goes 100+mph ! Not for a beginners !

[@Maganzi]

Radjet Ultra, my first plane. Tryed with aerofly RC 7 on my Mac and i think its for good beginners but not totally bloody beginners...

[@SteenPedersen]

I want one

[@ZHAUSQ]

i waited so long for this ! :)

[@DavesRc]

Hey Josh were you full throttle on that pass. Hahaha

[@RCllamadude]

no prob.

[@DestructoXxShaunxX]

I'm a STAR.

[@TheStickyBusiness]

Bring back the Radjet 420 please or at least let me know who manufacture it

[@karoljanota3688]

why I can't buy 420 on hk??

[@uninsulatedshrimp5518]

You need to visit pot-ty king for that mate

[@i0.0t]

Go ahead bro
