Hanger 9 Valiant 10cc Electric

4s 5000 running it.

[@thomasallan8113]

I will build this eventually as I love my Eflite Valiant but I will put in at at least a 5 cell.

Docile? This plane is not docile! It is a well behaved plane the flies so accurately and smoothly that is it graceful in flight. It may be of high-wing configuration, but the Valiant is a Sports plane though and through. Instilling instant confidence on my maiden flight, I executed most aerobatic manoeuvres. With full power and flaps the take off can transition to unlimited vertical in a few metres. The 1.6 :1 thrust to mass ratio helps of course. Running 14x6 prop on LD4242-600kv motor through a 80Amp ESC from a 6S 3300mah LiPo. 6 to 7 mins flight time to 3.8v. I am well pleased with my Hangar-9 Valiant

I'm so happy you are enjoying yours, I only had a chance to fly my friends, once. Docile is in your thumbs, it was capable of so much more. I chose to fly it with mild acrobatics ( Not Mine ). This plane is an all around great aircraft. Enjoy many years with her.

I have this Spektrum RC Avian 4250 Brushless Outrunner Motor (800Kv). 900Watts, Spektrum RC Avian Lite 70-Amp Brushless Smart ESC w/IC3 Connector and Spektrum RC 4S Smart G2 LiPo 50C Battery Packs (14.8V/3200mAh) w/IC3 Connector. Do you think it would do well.

[@flyrightrc]

I really dont want to give my opinion as fact. If you look up the required parts for that bird and your close, you will be just fine. Thank you for the comment.

[@gpxrp7520]

Nice plane! What are you running for a battery?

[@gpxrp7520]

i got it!

[@flyrightrc]

Sorry for the delay, not use to comments. 4s 5000.

[@terrymunn1224]

what do you think the flight times would on a 4s 4000 30C just gently flying around.I like the looks of this model.

[@flyrightrc]

According to the owner 12min. Thanks for Watching.

[@terrymunn1224]

@@flyrightrc really .. that is surprising . do you think because the wing area is so large that it takes less power to keep it airborn ?

[@flyrightrc]

@@terrymunn1224 It's a very light plane and has plenty of wing.

[@thelongestday64]

Would it work safely for cruising and relaxed flying with a 4S 3200mha 50C spektrum smart battery? Thanks from Switzerland!

[@flyrightrc]

Absolutly. it can be as tame as you want to fly it. Very forgiving plane.

[@thomasallan8113]

Little plane? 69" wing span?

[@flyrightrc]

maybe in comparison to other birds at the field that day. 😁

[@terrymunn1224]

do you think the only difference between the 4s 5000 and say a 4000 would be runtimes ?

[@flyrightrc]

Yes, runtime will be affected, but his bird running a 5000 stays up for quite a while. You may even get alittle better performance with alittle less weight. Watch your firewall. His has come loose a few times. Reinforce the glue joins. Easy fix, great plane.

[@terrymunn1224]

ok thanks .renforcing it will be no problem.I am trying to figure out if these 4S 4000 would be fine since i have them on hand.

[@flyrightrc]

@@terrymunn1224 Yes, they will be fine.

[@Alaingizzmo]

Which motor does he run? I have the same and planned for RimFire 46 on 4S

[@flyrightrc]

Hopfully the owner will chime In, or I'll ask him next time I see him.

[@Alaingizzmo]

@@flyrightrc your video is great buddy

[@asafgl4281]

5000 4 cells??? How much time you can keep it in the air?

[@flyrightrc]

I know he flys it easily for 6-7 min. Could probably get more. it all depends on flying style.

[@gpxrp7520]

what are your rates set at, I haven't flown mine yet, any advice

[@flyrightrc]

My friend said he set the rates the rates per the manual. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@flyrightrc]

it is a very kind plane to fly. Your going to enjoy it.

[@gpxrp7520]

@@flyrightrc thankyou so much for the info and encouragement!
