[@AdamGdoesFPV]

I've ben flying the Skyhunter for years and its my go-to platform. Best all rounder and just so reliable. I think most people in the Skyhunter community know mine by now :)

[@robertasjuscius1092]

I just wondering is it possible to make it cruise on 5 amps... My plan is to run big prop, and do some modification to keep prop horizontal before landing...

[@AudibleDrake]

It’s nice to see planes and boats on this channel! Keep up the great work man, you will grow more and more at this pace :)

[@mikejulson973]

Bro you're editing and production value is increased over the last couple months it's looking good

[@KushFPV]

:)

[@MarcAntoineBvl]

Looking good for sure but sounds 🤢🤢

[@KenKneknaneek]

Looking good. I only flew mine once last year, but I launched it from the ground which was short grass and it took off great. Happy Flying

[@nicmc3077]

Thank you for your time, effort and honesty reviews. 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻✌🏻

[@dougmcpheters1546]

Congratulations! She's a beast man. Many vids to come with her I'm sure!!!

[@pappybo49]

Great plane looks like a whole lot of fun. Thanks for the great video as usual!

[@terrycannon9984]

Huge plane. I'd almost be afraid to fly it! Thanks for the review!

[@frankbarajas]

Great idea on adding those spars! What an awesome plane.

[@dronepilot260rc]

You are a legend 🙌 I'm going to put mine together this week. I'll make sure to sand the edges before gluing for sure

[@upperechelon3456]

Good show DCRC. The Skyhunter 1800 is thee all around FPV long range mapper. It will never get old or fade away.

[@dronecamps]

I agree ☝🏻 🏆🏆🏆⚔️⚔️⚔️

[@ronralphsson7296]

This plane is definitely the stuff of dreams! Thanks for the review.

[@anthonysmith5979]

A great review, thanks for the time you took doing this regards Tony Australia

[@Bliss0011]

Video stabilization at its best. Smooth and relaxing.

[@stzig1934]

Excellent Video, I Love your work. So keen to purchase one of these

[@Georgewrigley]

Love it Justin, great plane for sure and great flying/review bro. Cheers:)

[@dronesfordisabledrhylwilliams]

Looks great excellent review as always...

[@dickielu]

Cool review! Maybe after my son and I get decent at fpv drone flying, might try out planes. Propeller wings first, I think the wings are cool.

[@krisbos9848]

beautiful footage... smooth flying too.

[@tedlov06]

Flies good from bench to air. Just a little tuning and she be awesome. Thanks for video Justin. 👍👍

[@dronecamps]

Yeah buddy! Merry Christmas to you Ted from the Davis family ~ !

[@aerofpv2109]

One of the holy grail for fixed wing FPV which I use as my go to long range platform. The Swywalker is arguably he God father of LRFPV -Aero

[@WEEBER13]

Great flight, Justin!! I've been lusting after this plane for years! Picked up a RMRC Stratosurfer recently. BTW, I think you meant to say, a farmer's "Combine." Merry Christmas!

[@dronecamps]

Combine. Yep not Columbine. 😜 I’m from the beach gimme some slack 😊 haha. Merry Christmas Allen! Two more fpv wings just came in by the way. 😍

[@WEEBER13]

Totally get it, Justin! I'm an old "surfer" dude, too. Locked up in the Midwest surrounded by a bunch of farms... Looking forward to seeing the reviews on the wings! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@RichardTardif1984]

Made a small one out of foamboard. I like it. If I needed a huge plane with a heavy payload this would be on the top of the list

[@PalmettoMoon]

That's one sweet plane. Nice work 👍

[@SteadfastRC]

That is a rad plane! Thanks for the vid Justin!

[@dronecamps]

Thanks TS! ~ JD.

[@rougeneon1997]

Finally just got one of these big birds!

[@illuminatedlantern4402]

Merry Christmas!

[@thomaswoodwaski7558]

I. Love your video really great job of flying l have on with no instructions but seeing this video has helped me l see mine is tail heavy so a 4 cell battery is probably what l need

[@dronecamps]

Glad it helped! :) Please subscribe Thomas. :D

[@rougeneon1997]

Nice relaxing lengthy flights are sooooo nice with fixed wings like this! Wow i thought my 900mm wing was big. Shucks thats huge

[@dronecamps]

I do enjoy them. Just tricks, or stunts. Just flying.

[@seancrandal8405]

Awesome you finished it!

[@dronecamps]

Yeah buddy. Finally got her airborne. About 3 careful weeks of setting it up properly in my spare time and at night. Oh wait I have no spare time. :D

[@Brad-qx9ht]

Great review

[@zippycfpv3619]

looks like a great fpv cruiser!

[@brentnunley2600]

Nice! Very cool plane bro. Thanks for the video.

[@dronecamps]

You're welcome Brent. Merry Christmas to you and your family from mine. ~ JD.

[@brentnunley2600]

@@dronecamps Same to you Justin.

[@pjwarez]

I've wanted a full size sky hunter for years. Would love to deck it out with a Pixhawk, GPS and all the goodies. Too chicken though!!! < bawk>

[@georgepieterse6800]

NICE flight, Tip, make te front camera turning. 😋

[@BUDjonesa53]

That Plane is huge!

[@NOXFPV]

Excellent video. Thanks!

[@dronecamps]

You’re welcome!

[@mattfisher6042]

That plane is CRAZY

[@borg1874]

Real nice Justin.

[@staticfpv881]

Thats awesome yo !

[@camaro92026]

You need extra caps on your esc. The motor is giving you lines in the video

[@scottopsahl3205]

Beautiful day to fly!

[@licensetodrive9930]

It can carry more capacity than most ebike batteries, that's nuts! In a good way :)

[@uacl028]

Amazing how far we've come in 30 years, a 6 ft. wingspan/ .40 size aircraft was a trainer,lol , Man I wish we had camera ability back then.

[@pilotmiami1]

thenks

[@ctsteve1967]

one your cg is off, a smaller prop should have been used for test flight. A real line of sight should have been your first choice. but great videl what motor did you you use?

[@bcyy21]

Nice pretty cool

[@alfadex50]

that is great really big indeed

[@halflife82]

It’s like a mini Skywalker!

[@Enigma4506]

Dope!

[@monsiursnowman66]

Imagine how cool it is to have one of these or a decent drone as kid nowadays lol it would’ve been cool but would never have the childhood bike ride memories etc with your mates if we had this sort of tech lol

[@dronereviewman9580]

Wow that is huge÷!!.

[@WiredWordNews]

Can i upgrade the plane and make it a cargo drone for a maximum 5kg payload for delivery ?

[@rotatybo]

Thanks

[@saso9789]

nice one

[@RCinginSC]

Nice 👍👍

[@benjamintucker1964]

nice plane and video , but can you please tell me the software to turn video into the cartoon style at 7:45,

[@lovediy8784]

DEAR sir. can you tell me the distance your FPV plane is gone? thanks

[@JoshWithrow]

I can't believe it!

[@juanmacias-aleman8970]

Just subscribe seen other channels but really like yours like i said seen so many channels and always wanted to have a good awesome drone👍👍👍👍😀😀

[@miskomartinovic2583]

Since it can carry a butt load of weight, would it be possible to run 18650 lithium ion batteries instead of lipos, get even more duration. 3kg =kwh roughly. Just unsure how many amps this plane motor needs

[@K9TPT]

Another great video Justin, what wing would you suggest for a total newbie who has never flown one ?

[@bobboo1319]

Ken Simmons buy a cheap simulator off Banggood . first.

[@dronecamps]

ZOHD ORBIT in the video description. All day. They even have a full outfitted fpv version. Or the add your own fpv gear. Comes with a mini stabilizer gyro also. 👍🏻

[@K9TPT]

Drone Camps RC Thanks for all your great work and advice

[@dronecamps]

Absolutely. My pleasure Ken. - JD.

[@petershclover3121]

How much did it weigh and how slow can it fly?

[@rizzorizz2923]

Hello, what motor do you recommend for this plane? Wanting to do long range FPV and to be fairly quiet.

[@gusthebus2542]

How far will this setup go?

[@jeb21435]

what is this can you get 6s

[@MrL_5322]

hello, I recently sold my phantom 4 drone to buy a teleguide plane and I really liked this fpv plane. As I am a beginner I am looking for either an easy tutorial to build a good plane or an already built plane. suggestions?

[@MrL_5322]

is there a tutorial to build this plane?

[@gusthebus2542]

Ok guys how much for evrything like the googles, fpv camera, controller everything

[@doshis]

Nice video, thank you. Some of your links say sold out on bang good, can you update the links please!

[@dronecamps]

I’ll try!

[@paperflight3104]

What is the maximam payload for this plane

[@bryandearstyne8262]

I have a random question about batteries I just checked the individual cells on one of my life pose and they're all reading out differently that's bad right

[@dronecamps]

Just balance charge it unless one is stupid low like 2.0 or less

[@bryandearstyne8262]

So it's a 4S and I checked it off the balance leads and I had some really weird numbers like 4 and 8 and 12

[@MrToast1eYT]

How fast is it

[@aggabus]

Orannge box bad.. Mph?

[@Darkbolt83]

how for can you go with this setup? if you were not limited byt the battery capacity ;)

[@dronecamps]

Depends on your ground station

[@racingturtel5002]

Has the pnp version an xt60 or xt90

[@rizok145]

What do you think about making this plane with carbon fiber??

[@spredana]

I love my 8 year old SH

[@dronecamps]

same!

[@TANMAN47TANMAN]

How far can it fly

[@blushark1946]

This bird is next right after the next 3 pinball machines. Say June at the latest. Will add flaperons, rudder, and GPS.

[@taildragginone]

When you say long range, what is the max range, in miles, could you fly away from base ?

[@dronecamps]

Look up what the Russians on KZbin are doing with long range. You’ll be surprised at the range people can achieve.

[@taildragginone]

Ok, thanks. Will do

[@hakancakirkan2319]

It is fast and big :)

[@brokemechanicfpv1420]

Wow

[@thomaslilly7001]

Das huge

[@peterstanley3066]

Used to have a plane bur wasnt very good at it...

[@Smt_Glaive]

ugh ...only 3 channels... i hate that everytime i will try to turn its gonna lose altitude...

[@dronecamps]

You could put rudders on it.

[@nicc2366]

do you need to have a license or something?

[@paulbarnett5818]

An 1800 isn't gigantic, you can but rtf Radian XL it is 2400 1800 is normal not gigantic

[@MrPinkyRingy]

Paul Barnett Can you carry 25000mah in a Radian?

[@feldrik]

That would justify my crossfire ;-)

[@dronecamps]

Absolutely and then some ;)

[@masso172]

Someone help me find my wallet! It grew legs and fleed from me

[@geosobservations9496]

Lol it must be hiding out with mine...or the woman hid it when you started watching these...😁...tell her it can be cheaper than a motorcycle...way safer 🤔...she has to agree...xmas is almost here, I got a radio and battery outta it already 😀 play that card...🤣

[@kelvinwolf225]

100 min flight time?!? Stop taking my money!

[@atlasaerospace]

Tinyhawk

[@ThePrzno]

wow, 100min flight...

[@DivisionRc]

how is hand launching. Im not the best handlauncher, my nano talon evo can back that up, wreaked in tis box. Id prefer the 1.2m skyhunter but not instock anywhere other then china bangood and its overpriced kit

[@dronecamps]

Well it’s kind of like throwing a javelin. You have to commit with your whole body and arms. Throw it level. NOT straight up. Less learned by me with a crash. More than once.

[@Heiple2007]

Cool plane. White airpolanes for bystander videos just suck. Can't see shit unless you were within 50 meters on the screen. She;s a big girl, color that w_h_re up! lol Good job Justin. Jeff

[@dronecamps]

Sometimes I leave them white so hunters have less of a target 👍🏻

[@bwasfpv]

is it even legal..lol
