Amazing. One of the best RC jet videos I’ve ever seen. Subscribed.

[@RCTommy]

Thank you, DW Productions. I really appreciate your comment🔥👍

[@alphamrc309]

Nice production, RC Tommy! I'm glad you like our bird and it's nice to see one flown by such capable hands!

[@RCTommy]

Alpha MRC, thank you! I do enjoy creating KZbin content and flying, and mr. Jan M. Berg (the guy flying this awesome little jet) has truly become a great pilot. Cheers!😁👍

[@janmb]

Thanks Alpha, your demonstration video certainly was good inspiration in the first place 😎

[@ShockeWulf190]

Spectacular flight and landing. Props to this one 👏

[@TankBuilders]

Exceptional quality of filming and post production and some impressive flying too. Thanks again. Subscribed.

[@RCTommy]

Thank you, Tank Builders! I try my best to make the content I want to see on KZbin myself, so your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers! 😁👍

[@Eiooeek]

Nice flying nice jet! Ordered mine :)

[@RCTommy]

If you’re into flying high alpha, tight corners, wheelie landings etc... You’re gonna love this one! 😁👍

[@janmb]

Thanks! And good luck - this jet is awesome 👍

[@Eiooeek]

Additive scenario, awesome mate!

[@blackbird4062]

Video quality is so good! Awesome flying!

[@RCTommy]

Thank you, much appreciated 😄👍

[@mdesgro3692]

Blew me away🤩. Could you share your lipo specs, cg, and are you using a gyro.

[@janmb]

Use 6S 4400 in this one. Don't have the exact cg, but 10-15mm further aft than manual calls for pretty much. Start off with manual recommendations and work your way back in baby steps - don't take too big bites :D I use a jeti receiver with integrated gyro in this model.

[@jimibar12]

That is some serious pilot skill ! Amazing flight !

[@janmb]

Thanks ❤️

[@janmb]

Thanks 😎

[@DruideRC]

man this landing was incredible

[@janmb]

Thanks 😁

[@pauljohnson4155]

I've just bought one - 2nd hand. Have attached the wing tanks to make it easier for orientation in the air.

[@brucei8767]

Really loved this. Best video on this edf I've seen.

[@RCTommy]

Thank you, Bruce I. Your comment made my day😁👍

[@fern6978]

[@FlyShamu]

Fantastic! Well done!

[@cool5tuff]

beautiful camera work and flying!

[@RCTommy]

Thank you, I appreciate the nice feedback. Cheers!😁👍

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Dear Tommy, I'm glad to see you again when Mr. Jan M. Berg performs high alpha, it looks easy ... but we all know ....just the opposite. Thanks a lot. and Cheers from Croatia.

[@RCTommy]

Josip, friend! I enjoy making these videos, and Jan never fails to deliver a show for the camera. More footage to come soon enough. Cheers! 😁👍

[@ArthurRC]

Awesome flight!!! Can you tell me your throws please? Ailerons elevator and rudder 🙏🏻🙏🏻😉

[@RCTommy]

Thank you, Arthur. I will get the pilot for you to see if he can answer your question. Cheers! 😊👍

[@janmb]

I honestly don't recall, but there might be a chance for some flying this weekend, so will try to measure for you. Roughly speaking, manual low rate for elevator, and manual low rate minus a tad for aileron. On rudder I have quite a bit of throw, since I use it a lot during high alpha flying, which means low speed, and very little air passing over that surface.

[@ArthurRC]

janmb all riiiiiight that’s what I thought, I always use FW low rates for my high rates 😂

[@janmb]

@@ArthurRC Yeah if you start off by that, you should be fine. One thing to keep in mind is to be picky on the cg. Manual cg is, as usual, a bit nose heavy, so if combining nose heavy with low rates, you can potentially run out of elevator during landing. I started with book cg, but have ended up about 15-20 mm aft from that. Be sure to take that one step at a time though.

[@coldude2559]

Nice!

[@RCTommy]

Thanks😊👍

[@Flybrei]

Cooles Teil 👍

[@RCTommy]

Danke! 😁👍

[@Airguardian]

Love it! :D

[@RCTommy]

Gotta love it😎 Delta power!

[@MrLupold]

Got to have a Gryro!!!

[@shareifeisa]

Awesome video and flight. This is the best FW Mirage video on YT. I see a lot of rudder deflection in the high alpha turns. Are you using much aileron? Looks very controlled but also like it could roll over at any moment. What is is the technique you are using?

[@RCTommy]

Shareif Eisa, Sorry, I totally missed this comment. I’ll make sure to ask the pilot next time I speak to him. And thank you for your comment, cheers! 😁👍

[@janmb]

Hi Shareif, and thanks! The turning technique is exactly as you said: Rudder is the primary control used for actually turning the model, and opposite aileron is used to keep the model from banking too much. You want very little bank when turning in slow, high alpha flight.

[@shareifeisa]

@@janmb Thanks for the info. I just got into EDFs last year and have been eyeing the Mirage.

[@ArthurRC]

Awesome flight !!!!! Can you tell me how many wires have to be plugged in receiver (2 ailerons, 1 rudder, 1 retract, 1 edf so 5 channels????) And did you use flaps with a mixing flaperons but it looks impossible because there are only ailerons?!?

[@janmb]

Thanks! 5 channels is all you need (2x elevons, 1 rudder, gear and throttle). In my case 6 (got nose wheel steering on a separate channel) Flaperons not possible on a plain delta (since it would be the same as negative elevator = pitch down)

[@ArthurRC]

janmb all right that’s all I thought so that’s perfect 👌🏻 thanks a lot !!! And with a 6S 5000 how long can she fly???

[@janmb]

@@ArthurRC I'm using 4400mah. Gives about 3:30-4 minutes depending on how hard I fly

[@ArthurRC]

janmb ok ok so not that bad 😉👌🏻

[@tg26102]

beautiful flight .what is your camcorder?

[@RCTommy]

Thank you. For this video I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2000/FZ2500 (set to 1080p60fps@100mbps) paired with a RØDE VideoMicro microphone and a Manfrotto monopod with fluid head and base for stabilization. I also use Vegas Pro 16 to edit paired with the built in stabilizer functions for a more stable shot. Cheers! 😎

[@tg26102]

thank you for information .I will try .

[@MrLupold]

Gyro set up?

[@janmb]

First!

[@RCTommy]

Second!
