I’d like to see a review on the 2000 mm DH Beaver w floats!

[@Mach3RC]

@@jonathonparth7410 great suggestion!! I’d love to review that plane too!

[@markhalton2584]

Love how honest you are about your flying shortcomings, so very relatable.

[@SGTGHOST143]

The I can't end on a bad note remark made me think of when I took my Avanti up after losing my P-51 Old Crow to a fight with a tree. Keep it up! Your personality helps keep me going sometimes

[@Mach3RC]

I feel like we think a like! Haha. Sorry to hear about the P-51 but glad to hear you’re making the best of it! I appreciate the kind words and thank you so much for watching!

[@SGTGHOST143]

@@Mach3RC Its all good. I'm hoping to try and repair the P-51 over the next few weeks but I dunno how saveable it is. It's the Freewing P-51D Old Crow if you're interested. And tbh I wouldn't be surprised lol, seems like we view things similarly. Always a joy to watch, plan to start recording my own RC adventure

[@fp-AvERY]

Enjoyable as always! Brother that fish was a monster you can probably catch more than an airplane if you bring your rod. Looking forward to the next video!

[@Mach3RC]

So happy you enjoyed! I’m definitely going to bring a rod haha. Thanks for watching & more on the way!

[@nickmoloney9820]

Great landing (watering)? At the end . Great video I love the honesty and imtegrity , Subscribed and liked

[@Brads-hanger]

That look great!!!! Awesome landings!!!!!

[@Mach3RC]

Thanks Brad!! We’re out there trying to get better! 💪🏻

[@EtiLand_FN]

Dude your videos are insane

[@who8dapple]

You need to make a rescue RC Boat! Good stuff…can’t wait to maiden my float plane!

[@Mach3RC]

I want to make a rescue boat so bad!! I think that’d be awesome. Haha, thanks for watching, I’m excited for your maiden too!!

[@paulhurley1051]

I have one of these as recently got into flying, I don’t have the floats but these are such a fun plane to fly. The bigger fms kingfisher as also a nice plane to fly

[@trondaustad8617]

Cool video mr. Love those floatplans

[@propgear123]

Haha you jinxed yaself so many times man 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️you need an rc boat for recovery ❤❤❤send in the calvary 🔥🔥🔥👌🏼

[@Mach3RC]

Hahaha I KNOW!! 😅I want an RC boat so bad

[@propgear123]

@@Mach3RC haha I got what I thought would be a good one a cheap jet boat wltoys but I got a lemon and it goes so slow the ducks swim past it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

[@SH-qu5rt]

Did you ever end up putting a spectrum receiver in this plane?

[@capnhardway]

I was looking at this plane, I had it in the basket and never had the money. I'd be terrified if I had no boat to recover, I have a hard enough time on land with trees😮😂, I enjoy your videos keep up the good work!

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you so much!! Appreciate you watching and yeah I kinda had to be ready to jump in and swim if need be hahaha. Use code Mach3RC to save some money if you decide to order! 💪🏻

[@capnhardway]

@@Mach3RC thank you my friend!

[@robc5296]

Great set of videos with this Ranger on floats. I just found your channel and know this video is about a month old. Love that you removed the nose gear for float flying - first time I've seen this done. How did you do that and can it be put back, or is this a dedicated float plane now? Please let us know if you read this comment, thanks! You can get a Lemon 7 ch receiver for like $16 to use with the reflex gyro and your spextrum transmitter. Better range then the spectrum sport receivers at a fraction of the cost. My go to receiver for FMS planes with Reflex.

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you for the kind words and I’m so happy you’re enjoying the content! If you look in my “shorts” videos on my channel I made a video explaining how to do it! It’s SUPER easy and just as easy to put back on! That’s interesting to hear about the lemon receiver. I’d love to give it a shot but have heard so many bad stories about them losing signal!

[@Kole-kx6nt]

I have a question: when a floatplane like this one flips over after crashing is there a chance that the electronics with be destroyed due to water getting in? If there is how likely am i to wreck my plane?

[@Mach3RC]

I’ve flipped over quite a few times and mine is still flying today! However there is always a chance. If it flips over, I recommend not moving the throttle or servos. Retrieve the plane and let it dry out. Luckily parts are cheap and easy to replace too! But mines still going strong

[@Kole-kx6nt]

@@Mach3RC Thank you very much I appreciate it :)

[@taroultraman438]

Nice plane! Does it can move backward??

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you! This one does not have reverse thrust unfortunately

[@taroultraman438]

@@Mach3RC oh.. that's bummer... look so nice though. thanks for knowing me!

[@jarrodworlie6288]

I cannot find one with floats?!

[@ncruz1212]

Don't get the battery fully low it will ruwen the battery

[@Mach3RC]

You’re right, I was being naughty!!

[@RodRatunil]

will it be okay to land this plane in saltwater?

[@Mach3RC]

I’ve never flown off saltwater. I don’t know too much about that as I don’t have any saltwater near me. I’d watch some videos on rc flying off saltwater!

[@antoninoarrigo2331]

Hey I think your floats are wrong side the lip should be inside Rudder on left.

[@Mach3RC]

Ya know what, I think you're right!! Hahaha

[@Mach3RC]

I just flipped them around haha. I appreciate your comment!

[@antoninoarrigo2331]

All good 👍

[@rudofinfante]

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦, I have this plane and I flew this in land and lake, when I saw your video you did a mistake with battery because my battery is dead on the middle of the lake so I learned only fly 4 minutes to be safe.. Greetings.

[@Mach3RC]

Thanks for watching! Yes, I flew a bit too long on this one haha. I’ve had many flights since recording and I’m able to get about 10 minutes of flight time!

[@feelgooddany]

I fly without rudder tho 😂😅 all my jets and other planes

[@Mach3RC]

I typically do too. Trying to learn what it’s all about 😅

[@feelgooddany]

​@@Mach3RCyesyes same here!! Rudder is for driving to the Runway 😂

[@RCJohnny99]

Man, at $335 RTF kit. I’d be swimming out there to get it

[@Mach3RC]

Should be quite a bit cheaper than that! Especially with my code. But I hear ya!

[@MarkThibodeau-dx8jr]

Blame it on the carp.

[@Mach3RC]

Dang carp jumped and flipped my plane! I like that

[@ncruz1212]

Don't land or take off for a way!

[@Mach3RC]

Trying my best! Need some more practice 🤓

[@donpardo9093]
