FMS SUPER SCORPION 90MM 6s at SEFF 2018

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Dear Rich, you slowly but surely become : ''Rich the legend''....Appreciate it.

[@WickedMoto]

Wow I’m surprised you didn’t move the linkages closer to the servo like you do in latest videos. Thing seems to be a sweet flyer! Maybe I need one

[@davidmcneill3809]

I know this a old video. Local hobby shop has one the shelf. Now they are no longer available, but would you still recommend. Still has that $450 price tag on it.

[@RCINFORMER]

Fms do a VERSION 2 scorpion now with inrunner, still the same plane and still available. 🙂

[@trullmann]

These sound so sweet!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I have the 70mm one and Iam dreaming about this one. It looks just perfect... Great video and flying again my friend... Cheers, Pilot Robert

[@peteflyfpv8697]

Yea well if you got one is yours hard to land?

[@DeucesWildRC]

Nice job filming winginit! Rich is one hell of a pilot to!

[@brettsulman9408]

Hi Richard If you had to pick one! FMS FUTURA? V2 Or this plane? And Is this faster? Thanks again Brett

[@ArcticRc]

I like when the size is over 90 on those edfs. Lovely

[@peteflyfpv8697]

This thing is a hand full trying to land..it bounces on landing..any help will be appreciated..

[@RCINFORMER]

You just have to get the speed right. If it is bouncing on landing, your speed is just a little to fast or you are touching down too hard or a combination of both. This plane glides well with power off, & will fly slower than you might think. Just get it as bit slower and touchdown with main wheels first and the bouncing should stop:)

[@peteflyfpv8697]

@@RCINFORMER ok thank you I will do exactly what your saying..I mean I'll try maybe I'm coming in to hot..

[@radvalve205]

Ive never bought a fms plane that didnt have some kind of quility issue that should have bern cought at the factory. 445 dollers seems to high for a fms when alot better quility can be found in freewing jets. Just bought an avanti s and after buying so many fms i was very impressed with freewing, not a single issue everything fit and lined up perfect!

[@RCINFORMER]

The FMS SUPER SCORPION 90mm has a fine fit and finish.

[@M4rkmcc21]

Funny as I think the opposite. My avanti seemed like it had sat on the shelf for 4 yrs before I bought it. Landing gear failed on 4th flight. Seemed cheap. Fms on average are great with me. Only disliked the A10 70mm. Flaps were weak

Hello .Thank you for your airplanes videos they are great and very helpful.Ihave bought the FMS SUPER SCORPION as the one you have in the video and while i was ready to do the binding with my DX8 Spectrum i have food a problem that could not make me enter in the binding procedure.I found the there is an external bec on this plane an i saw his plug with a ferrite green ring and plug it to an auxiliary channel of my dmnx 6 channels spectrum receiver and the work making blinking the light for binding mode .As i start my transmitter on binding mode when the binding is complete the light of the receiver go off completely and no channels are functioning.I use a 3s lips for this procedure not a 6s .Anyway i can manage the problem .Can you help me please ?Regards from SICILY

[@RCINFORMER]

Can you try it with a 6s?

[@lutinosss]

@@RCINFORMER Thank you for your reply yes i have tried on 6s also and i got the same result...

[@trullmann]

I hear for a 90MM Sport Jet this is the one to have?? True or no?

[@Aero2992]

Hello Rich. I'm looking for a Quanum Telemetry system like the one you have. Do you know where I can get one, or know of something available now that performs the same ? Thanks

[@RCINFORMER]

I wish I had some good news for you however it was sold by hobby king and it was one of the best products they ever had but they stopped making it. I have asked them many times to carry out again but with no luck.

[@hanrenfighterjet]

is this based on Textron scorpion?

[@RCINFORMER]

Not sure.

[@castlefranck3979]

I've the kero one flight like a dream, this one as well....

[@lawrencewilliams1477]

LOOKING GOOD MATE 👍 REAL GOOD

[@lawrencewilliams1477]

TELL YA IM GLAD I WATCHED THIS VIDEO MADE MY DAY YA LIKE THE CAMERA MAN DONE WELL ✔

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Just got one, can’t wait to fly her.

[@RCINFORMER]

Sweet! The plane is a real nice flyer. It is fast, however it lands very slowly & glides well on zero power. The correct landing speed & not being to hot on final is the key to a good landing with this model.

[@ronclarke8546]

How does this compare to the 90mm ViperJet? You fly both so well :-) Starting to think you can make anything look good! But seriously - how do they compare?

[@corsair149]

What do you recommend for the CG?

[@hairilanwar9190]

Simply n nice

[@reeserc3906]

Awesome plane what's the top speed?

[@mrhilma]

Fantastic

[@stewjade]

Super impressive Rich, pity could not hear your comments. I know your camera man means well but it would be better if he would clam up and we could just listen to your always top class comments. .... Missing Pete, ... he is the best.

[@RCINFORMER]

Fortunately, John was there or I would not have a lot to post:) Pete has been out for a while with some medical issues:(

[@stewjade]

Please let Pete know all his fans out in KZbin land are thinking of him and wish him all the best. Get well soon Pete. And sorry to John for my comment, he's got a hard act to follow. Keep up the great work guys. Cheers from Australia.

[@JustwingitRC]

No worries brother...I understand I tend to be a talker...passionate about RC 😉😁!

[@stewjade]

Understand John, I'm a known talker as well and always enthusiastic about RC flying. And getting worse ..... haha.

[@JustwingitRC]

For Sure!

[@4funrc11]

Spectacular. :)

[@FENIXRC]

Espectacular ✈ like 👍🏼 saludos ✈

[@bplee2]

Great video again Rich. You mentioned the CG in the unboxing video but didn’t comment on it in the flying video. Is the manual right or did you modify it? I have the plane and want to get it right. Thanks!

[@RCINFORMER]

Yes the manual was correct:) Position your lipo so it balances there... you can pretty much just put the battery In an fly it, depending on the weight of your lipo.

[@jeffarab4947]

I own the 70mm and its real good fast stable

[@RaedAdlouni]

Hello Rich, i had same model with gens ace 5000 mah 45C (700grams), and had to add a lot of nose weight to balance at factory CG. did you experience the same? i had a lot of issues during landings because of the nose weight (nose bounces up)

[@garryfuddge]

Same here I added about 5 ozs in nose with gens ace 5000 60c.

[@laseonestar]

Excellent big cheers

[@Jackmiller-xh5ne]

Hey Rich, with the 5000 50c pack did it balance at 150/160?? By the way nice work on the stix!

[@RCINFORMER]

I dont recall... I may have put a slight bit of nose weight in mine...

[@Jackmiller-xh5ne]

@@RCINFORMER thanks for the speedy response👍✈

[@brownsamurai3070]

If Nemo could have a jet...

[@MichaelHeinrich1]

Landing gear sounds like the EDF.

[@sambuvca22]

Rich floats them in for sure. I have yet to see him crash a plane and I’ve seen ALOT of his vedos

[@peteflyfpv8697]

Is it worth the money probably not it bounces all over the place

[@RCINFORMER]

If it bounces, your rate of decent in the flare is your high. This is exacerbated by to much airspeed in the flare. Coming in hot and not properly flaring to arrest your decent at touchdown are the primary landing mistakes made with this airplane.

[@rightistfreedom8691]

Rich / RC INFORMER.. Did you ever think of opening a RC FLYING TRAINING ACADEMY officially?...This is not a joke and I really mean it. I'm sure that in the rc flying hobby became more and more popular throughout the entire world and It would be nice if there will be a place that we can learn how to fly and understanding all involved equipment and its functions properly for example.. TX & RX setting up in relation to the respective control surfaces. This could be beneficial to all rc enthusiasts around the world.. Why I brought this question to you? Because I can feel all expertise within you after keeps following your videos continuously for a period of time. I'm certain that if you discussed this matter to people in the rc business, they will be prompted to extend their support to you.. and surely I will be one in the first group of students to attend the school and I am glad to pay whatever the tuition fees is.. Because I know you'll never overcharged. Thank you. and Sincerely Yours.

[@RCINFORMER]

Not a bad idea... I was a FAA flight instructor for many years and could easily put that kind of operation together...It has been attempted before by others but did not last... I dont think there is enough of a market for it...

Ah, Steve Petrotto narrating and sounding all drunk...again... OPS norm. LOL

It’s funny but rc today is nothing but flying. It’s a far cry from build all winter with balsa , covering and glue, then fly. These are more like toys. “ four screws, no glue” hahahahahah
