I've flown my drones thousands of times. If I bought something like this, I would probably fly it twice, and then it would spend the next 10 years in it's box.

A big advantage of RC-piloting vs Full Scale ( FS )-piloting; with RC you don't get hurt, except perhaps psychologically (?).

All of the FMS racing planes share the same esc and motor combo. I've got the Voodoo P51 Mustang and swapped out the 4s battery for a SMC HV 6s 2400MAH pack, and replaced the stock 4 blade prop with a 2 blade APC 10X6E prop, and now it easily achieves speeds around 130mph.

Perfect video from all aspects . Many thanks. @5:19 super smooth flaying pass and go around . I liked it . @9:15 yes that missing yellow part isn’t important but it can rebuild by making exact template made of glow & resin . You just restore it 100% as before 👍🏻

@FarmerFpvАй бұрын
You need to practice cross-cordinating your turns so they are much flatter on the final. Otherwise, you will stall the wing in such steep banks at low speed. Turns on the final should almost be flat with lots of ruder and opposite aileron and throttle to keep the airspeed up cause the cross coordinating causes lots of drag.s

I am glad you mentioned in the top corner what time of the year it was filmed because most Americans think Canada looks like this all year round.😅😂 Do you think it would have faired better in the summer? At least everything wouldn't be so brittle, also the angle you came in at was pretty aggressive. The front gear agrees with that.😅😂 Anyways it is a sexy looking plane. Hopefully they listen to your input and address the gear. Also laughed when I looked at the thumbnail. Destory??? You hit so hard that it just destroy it!!!😅😂😅😂

I've flown RC planes for the better part of 36 years. Never owned an already made plane but I've probably built 50 or more planes over the years. Balsa wood, Xacto knife cuts, CA and epoxy and covering. I turned 4 of those back into kit form, never feels good, although I imagine the sting wouldn't be so bad if it were a premade kit ;)

There are some goofy channels on KZbin where they do exactly that so that they can record the speed with a hiway radar gun...and then announce top speed of the plane model. Silly.
@AerialRCFunАй бұрын
Agreed, it's fairly meaningless number. I also wish folks would be a bit more clear when they are doing speed tests using a compact GPS recorder onboard. These will always record the highest speed achieved during flight so any winds present will add to the top speed recorded. If you have a consistent 10 mph wind you should basically subtract that value from whatever the GPS unit recorded as top speed.
