FLYING THE RC PLANE APPRENTICE STOL 700MM

[@JonathanProtheroe]

Excellent enjoyed your flying, I've just purchased the plane, looking forward to flying.

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe excellent purchase, it's such a fun plane. Have fun flying

[@JonathanProtheroe]

Hi again, thank you for your advice well appreciated, I take delivery of the plane today, also purchased a spare battery, Overlander 450mah 7.4 2s 35c . Just to confirm it will be ok to use, I'm a newbie with electric flight. Once again thank you and I enjoy your excellent flying

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe Hi Jonathan. Here is a link to the 450mah battery that I'm using. I'm not sure where you're located but the link is to an Australian website, it will at least show you images and give a description. www.rchobbyland.com/im-r-c-450mah-25c-7.4v-soft-case-lipo-battery-jst?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwlbu2BhA3EiwA3yXyuz6pBOD8QbXjzvRGEgGWPws_Txm-swuOh0A4NenJ0Z1LDplSI6ULzhoCPxYQAvD_BwE

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe Also ascertain the connection plug on the battery fits the plane. In this instance a JST plug (connector) is required

[@johnviney7919]

Thanks for the video! Looks like a good model to enjoy!

[@TJMDRONES]

John, it's such fun plane to fly. At this point it's my favourite plane.

[@federalnoise]

It's hard to get good air but that looks like a decent days RC.

[@kevinmclaughlin8503]

I have the same airplane and love it! Great recovery on the first landing, and it is hard flying in winds like that with such a small plane. New sub👍🏻

[@JonathanProtheroe]

Hi , it is magic flying I agree, been wet and windy here in green Wales so not flown since Friday afternoon, was working all day Saturday, but was able to listen to the cricket 😀 . Next Saturday I'm going to the Much Marcle Large Model flying show, go a bit of cash squirreled away for it , a few trade stands so can stock up. with with with

[@JonathanProtheroe]

With consumables ready for my junior 60 build, do you do WhatsApp, if so I could send you pics of the show

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe that sounds like fun, they will be doing some actual flying? There's not many of those type of things over here unfortunately

[@JonathanProtheroe]

​@TJMDRONES yep there will be the larger models 20ft and a few smaller ones flying.

[@TJMDRONES]

@@JonathanProtheroe I see these types of things on the internet and especially in the UK, shame theres nothing like that here considering

[@JonathanProtheroe]

@TJMDRONES Hopefully the weather will be good, usually no bad conditions, past few years been really good, looking forward to browsing the trade stands, can I enquire what rc transmitter you use, because I've just come back to the hobby I got a spektrum dxs, nice and simple for me haha, however thinking of upgrading, need 6 channels maximum

[@iyhgtyea8028]

Dang, good idea to write your number on it!!! Happened to us all!

[@TJMDRONES]

I'm going to mount a camera to the plane in the next week or so.

[@JonathanProtheroe]

Cheers, yep I've checked compatibility, I'm across the sea in pommy land, hopefully you won't hold that against me.haha

[@JonathanProtheroe]

It's arrived, going to put my mobile number on it like you, I've just lost my latest model, Ben Buckel Diamond Demon bugger, just waiting on delivery of 2nd battery along with charging adapter for my Smart charger. Your vids are brilliant

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe you're from the motherland, I couldn't hold that against you haha. One of my older friends is from Birmingham

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe woohoo, new plane feels!! Did the demon fly away? Having your mobile number on it at least gives a chance of it being returned if it flies away etc, as long as someone honest finds it. Thanks for the compliment Jonathan, I just like posting my adventures. I just bought an F16 Falcon edf jet, that will be a video soon enough

[@JonathanProtheroe]

@TJMDRONES I live in Wales and middle of nowhere, surrounded by hills and woods, my own fault, took it for a fly on too windy day, up it went and got blown away couldn't get it under control, so waved good by. First plane built after a 25 year break from the hobby, took 4 months to build over winter, had some lovely flying evenings this summer. I'm going to start building the BB Junior 60 and convert to electric, the Apprentice STOL should keep me happy flying whilst I build. Looking forward to seeing your next video, have a gooden.

[@JonathanProtheroe]

@@TJMDRONES small world I escaped Birmingham city centre for the wilds of Mid Wales. My Aunty moved to Australia 50 years ago Queens land still there with her family grandchildren and all.

[@HAWAII-uh7sc]

I have that plane, it's great.

[@TJMDRONES]

It is soooo much fun and I love how I can virtually fly it anywhere

[@WarbirdPylonRacer]

Awesome plane! What kind of flight times do you get with that 450 over the stock 300?

[@TJMDRONES]

Hi there and thanks. Its relatively new here in Australia ive been told and it is sooo much fun. I'm probably getting only around an extra minute and half to 2 minutes but I actually haven't flown to near critical stage yet.

[@WarbirdPylonRacer]

@@TJMDRONES I have very limited space to fly so I picked myself up one of these. They look like so much fun! Thanks!

[@TJMDRONES]

@WarbirdPylonRacer enjoy it my friend!!

[@jonowillmer]

Wow there are so many poles out there mate! You did really well to avoid them. Nice flight.

[@TJMDRONES]

@jonowillmer unfortunately it's the only area anywhere near me to fly. Apart from the light poles it's rather open. Thanks mate 👍

[@JonathanProtheroe]

The spec says a 2s 300mAh 7.4v battery pack, can I please enquire what size pack you used. I would like to purchase a 2nd pack

[@TJMDRONES]

@JonathanProtheroe I used a 450mah 7.4v battery. It fits in really snug, just have to make sure the wiring is tucked in. I'm getting 9 to 9 and a half minutes flight time with this battery

@TJMDRONES Thank you for the reply, looking forward to flying mine when it arrives.

@@JonathanProtheroe you're very welcome. You most certainly have something to look forward to, happy flying!!

[@billdebley6474]

What battery adapter did you use?

[@TJMDRONES]

Didn't need an adapter as the 450mah battery has a jst connector which is the same as the 300mah battery that came with the plane

[@billdebley6474]

@@TJMDRONES Thanks! That's great information. Much appreciated. Happy flying.
