Hey quick question ....what battery do you run your draco setup with . Mines a 6s 3200 . But im scared i mite puff the pack if im full throttle too long .whats can i get away with . Becausr now...i rele baby it and i feel like its always on the verge of tip stalling or something along the lines of that ...thank you for your help in advance

[@ItzEnderX2]

You know the foam rc 747 with 4 fans would you suggest it for beginners I'm new to this hobby and i already own a foam f16 and would like a foam passenger plane

[@TheRcSaylors]

Maliki, did you happen to order yours using our link? Thank you for letting us know as we are just trying to double check that everything is working properly!

[@gregmcclure2640]

Did I hear you say "expo"? It really does help. CG too far back? Glad you didn't need a trash bag on landing! Love you guys!

[@coldwarkid6611]

I love your channel it brings back the kid in me. Because of you I bought a helicopter on Amazon and it's a blast to fly around inside my house. You're always good for a smile and solid reviews. The RC hobby is so much more accessible than when I was a kid. I wish all these cool toys were around when I was young.

[@jepper80]

I did the maiden fight on a friends Dago Red. I set dual rates at 80% and 10% expo. Flew very nicely.

[@goldendredger]

You need to get in the habit of putting 30% expo on all 3 surfaces of every plane no matter what. It's a solid base line at 30%. Then adjust up and down from that point. But this gives you a good safe start and will help avoid many crashes.

[@mmitchum3826]

I agree... it was funny and entertaining, not embarrassing. Thank you for showing experiences like this! Wouldn't want every video to be like this, lol, or the channel would turn into Gilligan's RC Island. ;-) But certainly enjoy it once a month or so. Also helps folks feel better about themselves to see that even experts have things go sideways.

[@shanesdiy]

Beautiful plane! Looked like a CG issue. I'm sure the next flight will be awesome once you sort it out the CG (if off) and add some expo. Looking forward to the next flight, don't keep us waiting for too long.

[@2fish_tacos814]

We are all human.....you always fly your planes very well! Love the P51 too...awesome plane! Y'all take care!

[@Discopuss]

I got the tiny eachine P51 and love it, then got the UMX P51 voodoo which is so much fun to fly! This looks like a great next step up with flaps and retracts. FMS makes excellent planes and with a bit of thoughtful programming I bet this one will fly like an absolute champ! Can't wait to see round 2.

[@kashmurray1199]

Goodness touchy touchy. Love the color and prop. Two hand fulls yes intertaining. Glad you got it down. Still fun to watch.

[@NHfiddle]

Mess up or not, still makes good TV. Back in the day, we had separate radios and receivers. It got expensive, but when it came down to it, every plane I flew had its own radio and receiver, up to 10 channels, 6 channels for control surfaces, landing gear and throttle and 4 extra for whatever we needed them for. I miss flying my big wooden gas powered planes. As I get older, I appreciate channels like this because it reminds me of the "good ole days". Thanks for being here.

[@markculpepper4570]

Nate, I'm so sorry your maiden on this plane took the turn it did. I can only imagine finally getting a plane that's at the top of your list, the anticipation of getting it in the air and then being disappointed. I agree though expo should cure the problems. You and Abby are in my prayers.

[@markculpepper4570]

Nate, thanks for noticing my comment earlier, it's nice to know that you actually do interact with your fans and viewers. I have been trying to find a way to contact you regarding a local charity and activity group for the disabled that I work with here in Colorado. I would love the opportunity to pick your brain for what I can add to my current group responsibilities and ways to keep things family friendly. I don't really want to post my personal email or phone, this app has to have a way to communicate.

[@Steve-Cross]

Any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing LOL. 😊

[@johnberrios4255]

We spoke about this Nate. Treat it like the P51D you were having issues with and use my rates and expo we talked about now those were high rates but you can understand how to fly this plane. I've had reno racers and you need to keep that speed up (High Wingloading) very little flaps on takeoffs and very little flaps if any on landings you need a little speed on landings and DO NOT try a 3 point landing. Keep it on the front gear and let the tail settle on its own. I used high rates specifically for landing on a 3 position switch with a mix added in for tail and flaps 100% with about 30% expo. For me that was perfect but that just literally running batteries through it and specifically doing touch and go's (full stop) then takeoff ALOT. On reusing receivers I can only speak for specktrum but on newer ones (year or less) you can do a factory wipe and like one of subscribers said you can unlock it and wipe it and start with a clean slate. I do it all the time on planes that I sell and reuse my receiver. That receiver came factory set for the Timber so way different set up. On the bright side a magnificent display of flying because I was nervous myself and saying a quiet prayer that you would be able to land it. You walked away with it pretty much intact...BRAVO SIR👏

[@Itsa_Mea]

OMG Abby's commentary is funny has heck. Not all flights go as planned. You saved it to fly again, that's what counts.

[@jacksemporiumofstuff]

Dago red was a Reno air racer back in the 80s. Dago red was slang for cheap wine. It is pronounced Day-go, and is a pejorative word .

[@1101nz]

I fly mine on 5S. :-) Watch out for tip stall if turning at too slow a speed, especially in wind. I learnt the hard way I take off on wheels but belly land gear up. Retracts need perfect landing strip

It looked like the CG was way off to me the way it was porpoising up and down. Great looking P-51 racer.

[@TheRcSaylors]

I had the recommended battery size in there, and honestly had no room to move it around at all. Really hoping to clean this up and make it fly right 👍😁😎⚓️

[@Hoomi2]

As ugly landings go, that one was fairly minor. I'm kind of surprised you don't program in expo as a matter of routine on all your models.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Using expo is very new to me. Have only done this on a few models. It’s easy enough, but I used to prefer “moving the stick 20%, the control surface moves 20% as well” method. Obviously there are massive benefits to expo, and I’ve been enjoying those benefits! Will definitely try this plane again with expo 👍😁😎⚓️

[@Kawika997]

Used to watch the real plane fly at the Reno air races!

[@richw0123]

wow, that was sketchy!, good flying to get it down in one piece. Its situations like that that make the case for having on the fly adjustable expo and control throws. Using OpenTX or EdgeTX you can make the little dials and extra trim switches do just that, it's saved my planes many times and also lets you adjust things to be more or less correct on the first flight.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Yep I like my instant trim on my Radiomaster. Hold the plane level , hit a switch and boom the plane is trimmed out . , should also maiden a plane without gyro on

[@rudyho3790]

Hey Nate....grab one of your Viper EDFs....run it through flight routine with 'greaser' landings...may bring your positive adrenalin right back!!!😎👌

[@blackhawktim1259]

EVERYBODY has flights like that at least once. My dad was in this hobby since it was a control line hobby and even he had flights like that sometimes and he was a master builder and flyer so don't beat yourself up. At least it's in one piece, that's better than I would have done. I have a video on here of a maiden that looked a lot like this one and it was because I didn't have it balanced right. It was tail heavy and it porpoised something fierce but I ended up getting it down in one piece as well so that's why I asked if yours had been balanced.

[@scottblesi2469]

Yep I would sand them prop tips smoth give them each a red tip and fly that thing

[@TheRcSaylors]

I’ll have to do that 👍😁😎⚓️

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Tail heavy…. Torque on take off not enough airspeed before lift. Tanking off the ground, let it build up speed. Four blade props have two more blades. Well that’s more torque. More torque roll and no air speed. A wing has to be flying and “up to speed” before being yanked off. Move your battery forward and it will fly a WHOLE lot better.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Seriously awesome feedback here. Thank you! 👍😁😎⚓️

[@mikeonb4c]

I agree. It looks to be a little tail heavy. Put that together with no exponential and things will get hairy!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@mikeonb4c I fly zero expo and 100% rates on everything, from giant warbirds to 300mph plus planes. No gyros no expo and no D/R. It amazing how great a plane flys when balanced right and setup properly.

[@mikeonb4c]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I've just decided to take a break from fullsize aviation (gliding) and have an Extra 300. I used to design, build and fly model aircraft when expo wasnt an option on the tx so I did reflect on whether or not to try it. I think it makes for much more pleasant on a 3D plane with huge control surfaces but that has to be landed with finesse in order not to bend it's rather flimsy undercarriage. At my grand old age it's also nice to be able to fly around without having to be too careful on the controls. If I want mad I just move the sticks a bit more ha ha. Having said all that, my first thought on that Reno Mustang was to try moving the c of g forward a bit and see if things improve. It's aileron control surfaces are a LOT less than those on the Extra 🥴👍

[@GSG-lc5zm]

[@warmiceUT]

😄a very enjoyable flight ! I believe, other than increase expo % and reduce gyro gain on elevator; it would be better keep-up with slight higher speed on throttle, this would helps to maintain a more level flight .. cause this is a warbird plane 😄 Happy flying ;-)

[@gmorphan]

The prop strike happens, until you figure the plane out. Doing your plane setup with low, mid & high rates on a 3 position switch with varying expo is handy to make in-flight adjustments to get it back on the ground safe & sound. Using a Spektrum Rx from another BNF plane is risky, you absolutely have to orient the Rx the same way in the new plane. Spektrum makes an interface cable ($25) that allows you to unlock the settings. You'll need to reset SAFE & AS3X axis & gains, but it's pretty easy.

[@johnberrios4255]

You can do a factory reset. I reuse my receivers all the time. I reuse them whenever I sell one of my planes. No problems.

[@nilosantos4862]

Very fast and furiously.

I've got 3 flights on mine now. It is a little tail heavy with a 3300mah 4s battery. I started with 35% expo. So far, loving this plane. On the first flight, I bent the gear back a little on landing. Does anyone know how to remove the gear from the gear motor? I don't see any set screws on it.

@@TheRcSaylors well it does matter to me because if you were given it to help sell it your opinion on it is it’s going to be the best plane you have ever flown. If you bought this it may not be a bias opinion. And in terms of doing the plane justice the flying was pretty mediocre especially how you slammed the throttle and put the nose into the ground when you have a long runway so you can gradually build up speed. So yes it kinda does matter.

You’d be very surprised Austin, about a lot of people on KZbin. Very surprised. We do disclose what you are wanting to know, and make it pretty clear.
