Thanks for the comment re small wings; avoid low speeds and high banks. I've crashed a few when I ignored this advice.

[@BDTennessee]

Almost like a golden rule we should follow :D Thanks for comment and watching Robert!

[@tructran8783]

Nice.... I think the FW Swiss F5, white and red, really helps in terms of Orientation and Visibility :-)

[@BDTennessee]

Friend has that one and noticed that too.

[@williamlane6374]

Looks like a good flying challenging bird. I love a challenge, lol

[@BDTennessee]

100% facts :D

[@SteffenRC]

Nice job BD... She seems like a zippy little thing... I'm sure she will keep you on your toes... Congrats on the maiden. - Will

[@BDTennessee]

Zippy explains it for sure :D Got to stay focus thats for sure. Thanks Will!

[@jcb6713]

nice look and flight...👍

[@BDTennessee]

Appreciate you JCB!

[@M4rkmcc21]

She's a tricky but rewarding one mate! Looking forward to your maiden vid 👍🏾

[@BDTennessee]

Agreed! Stay tuned :)

[@manicfour]

I can agree with you on that.

[@tructran8783]

Even @ half throttle the F5 flies great :-)

[@BDTennessee]

Agreed!

[@290Alenka]

nice review... Nice scale flying

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks Alenka!

[@smokeymountainrctravisThompson]

Nice. Love the f5

[@BDTennessee]

Agreed! Having more flights,its so fun too fly too!

[@tughillrc6327]

Very nice non gyro maiden. Great paint scheme and decent plane. Seemed to meto come in a little hot.

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks! I didnt have option, typically fly gyro off on maiden too.Little faster than I liked to bring em in.However wanted to make sure got it down :D Good part is ground handling cause my runway is only 330ft...

[@WarbirdFan66]

very nice plane, one of the best looking birds right out of the box if you ask me, and i was thinking about that one for some time, but unfortunately hangar space is very scarce these day, so it never made it into my hangar...anyway, very nice video about this earlier freewing model, thanks for sharing, blue skys

[@BDTennessee]

Agree,looks good out the box for sure.I know what you mean.Never enough room for all the planes we want haha. Thanks for the feedback!

[@txkflier]

That'll be fun..

[@BDTennessee]

Thought the same before the maiden haha

[@txkflier]

@@BDTennessee Mine actually flies really good. It just lands a little faster than the others. I put an AR637T with AS3X and SAFE in it just in case I lose orientation..

[@BDTennessee]

@@txkflier heard that.Small jet to start i could see its easy to lose orientation...

[@tructran8783]

Do you use half flaps for taking off? Full flaps for landing... in video ?

[@BDTennessee]

No flaps for takeoff and full flaps landing. Id say my full flaps are fair amount more deflection than book...
