HobbyKing Bix3 - Great Beginner RC Plane - TheRcSaylors

[@leonardodahumanoid4344]

That was a touch and stay. I've managed quite a few of those. This looks like a really good flier.

[@tonysansom]

Just a little clarification: flaps differ from airbrakes. flaps are designed to generate lift, airbrakes generate drag. If you were to use airbrakes when flaps were required, the plane would likely stall which is actually the opposite of what you want.

[@huevitopipihead]

What a refreshing plane video!a very pleasant medicine for quad fatigue! RC Saylors are the best! Greetings from Connecticut

[@027joe]

the shots of the plane from the drone are allways great.

[@jameshollingsworth9832]

Great landing Abby

[@SkipBuiltRC]

Nice landing there Abby. So awesome watching gals fly with us boys. We need many more like you. God bless both you guys, Skip Skip-Built RC.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks a lot Skip! Happy Flying my friend :)

[@bryanbryant9962]

I really enjoyed that! Abby is a pro! The chase cam footage is a great feature! It was fun to see Wendell's first flight!

[@BillKisel]

I can't believe how hard I was pulling for Abby to nail that landing. You go girl!

[@RoseAlchemist22]

You guys are killing me. I am still waiting for better weather to get either an XK X300 or the Xiro Explorer and now you show me a beginner plane. The sooner I get an apartment with enough room for these things the better...

[@scottfirman]

I am jealous you do know that right? . I have noticed the lack of lift you generally get in warmer temps so you need more throttle, less gliding. Flaps do help beginners as long as they realize the plane will rise up much faster on takeoff. Great job Abby, you are a pro now. lol. Pushers are the easiest planes to fly and yes, you have motor brake on.. I find that a non free wheeling prop adds drag too. Stay out of that Valley of Death! Lol. Glad you could get out and fly...or crash...lol.... I have 6 new planes to fly come spring.

[@davideo1954]

You nailed the landing, Abby..Great job!

[@DavidBaileyMinistries]

That was a real expert landing by Abby. I'm impressed.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks David!

[@KilchevSky]

My Bix3 lands without flaps marvelously, even with FPV equipment and big battery on board. I glued them with icecream sticks. So, if you want, play with them, but it isn't necessary on this plane.

[@atrix4g4me]

I just wanted to say, I love your channel. Great posts. I cast all your videos every day tto my big tv to watch with my 2 boys. Just great info and fun to watch. Keep up the great work!! God bless!!

[@philbuglass4857]

Nice video - love the air-to-air shots - you haven't done any of that for quite a while. Talking about flaps, back in the 70s I was taking flying lessons in a Cessna 150. To demonstrate the power of the flaps for low speed/high lift, the instructor landed the plane *across* the runway, without ever touching the grass on either side!

[@pabeader1941]

Good job! Go Wendell. Go Wendell! Great video. Watched it to the end.

[@VisualEcho]

GRIN!! Thanks PA. It was easy with these two beside you...

[@christopherstarzyk9209]

You could connect the flaps to the ailerons using heavy duty packing tape, thus giving you large ailerons! I've seen Andrew Newton do this. However for a beginner that may not be the best because it makes the plane very sensitive to aileron inputs.

[@bruceyork5260]

Christopher Starzyk was going to suggest Andrew's method as well.👍🏻

[@IanFlyinGremlinRCNZ]

Whoohooo great to see you have managed to get outside and do some flying, Nice landing Abby.

[@Thecaptnjp]

Beautiful flight review! Loved the aerial shots by the done, too - really superb! Great job my friends! JP

[@rickh584]

Really like the Bix line of planes. Like the way y'all included some chase drone footage. Great job!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks a lot Rick!

[@Timsfpvshow]

Good job flying the plane Abby. Nate you were doing an awesome job chasing with your quad bro.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

I think this has been one of your best videos by far. Great teamwork & flying .

[@jordancoleman2402]

Clear sky's my friends 👍

[@TheRcSaylors]

👍😁😎⚓️

[@jayrobertsager2478]

Nice to see some fixed wings. Very cool

[@jasonthomas6871]

Try using a little packing tape to secure the flaps. It should be lighter than the hot glue. Just a suggestion. Enjoying the videos as always!

[@kdobson83]

Jason Thomas and considerably easier to remove if you wanted to install flaps in the future... Lol With hot glue you'd have to use denatured alcohol and hope you don't damage the foam.

[@christalcott1832]

Rubbing alcohol, let it sit a couple minutes, and just peel it off. No damage

[@RUS-dv5sm]

That's quite a big plane! It flies very smoothly, definitely better than the Delta Wing wing which I watched before.

[@alansavage9656]

What an awesome plane!! Flies really great

[@puceater2311]

40 Rc hobbyist here . Enjoy the variety of your contents. Keep them coming. Subbed.

[@tlee9484]

Love the chase drone.. Really like this plane... ( F.P.V. is a must on something like this..)😃 and hello from Florida, to your guest..👍

[@VisualEcho]

Hello to you in Florida. I'm back home now. Nathan and Abby are the best!!!!

[@paulriggs42]

Looks like a perfect landing 👌. The Bixlers are great learner planes.... might need to get a Bixler 3. Wendell looked like a natural, well done !

[@VisualEcho]

Thanks Paul :-) I had a great teacher

[@Curt-yi1ix]

Hey Nate and Abbey I would just like to say that you are one of the only channels that explains things properly, instead of people that say. That's a Cool color, Omg i just crashed it so its not worth it. Also please release some rcsaylors hats and pillows please. Thanks for your time. :)

[@JSTANGMCSM]

Good day to be outside even up here in IL. My wife and I went on a walk today.

[@buddyc6905]

Nice to see a fixed wing video, seems like ages since your last one. Just a quick hint Nate, when doing rolls on a fixed wing, try adding a little opposite rudder at the same time as your aeleron input, it will keep the nose level. Hope we can get more fixed wing flights in the future.

[@brandontroyer2775]

Well I just ordered my first drone kinda excited about it

[@TheRcSaylors]

You should be very excited! Awesome! Happy Flying Brandon!

[@brandontroyer2775]

TheRcSaylors I went with the Aton plus it says it will be hear Wednesday I am so excited maybe I will do an unboxing like you guys do to show everything that it comes with

[@dneuens5919]

Great flying Abby and Wendell! Nate, try to keep the wheels down. :) I'll never stop loving airplane chase videos.

[@waynecampbell9714]

another great review, I've never flown an rc airplane before but your reviews are changing my mind. 👍

[@telephony]

That's one big-azz plane...no whimpy seagull gonna chase after that one, hahaha! It's almost large enough to carry Popeye!!! :-D

[@mazpr2025]

On the Bix2 v2 (the new one), the flap still has one small piece of foam the flap section closer to the fuselage, and the other side is of course in the open w the gap as the B3. It would have been enough just a line of hot glue in the inner gap, not underneath. I do all kinds of maneuvers on the B2v2 and still that small tab of foam is still there. If want to play it safe, just a few drop, not the whole line. Its going to be a pain to remove if later decide to fly w flaps. Although they are not really needed, and the key to pusher glider planes is the lighter the better.

[@TheRcSaylors]

You are right about the glue. We figured we'd probably never add flaps to this. It's just going to be Abby's summer plane to fly and "bash" around. Still a very helpful tip though, thank you!

[@richardowens6868]

and no air collisions this time, great flying Abby...

[@TheRcSaylors]

LOL, and that's the way we like to end the day of flying ;)

Hi. Thanks for this video. I still flight my BIX3 almost all weekend and publish my videos about what a I learn with him and all can learn too. It's a great RC Airplane to learn, I say that in all my videos. The fact of BIX3 have landing gear is advantage in my opinion to learn to do great landings. And have Flaps... Be welcome and again, thanks very much for this review, best regards!

[@keithdunn3272]

Enjoyed the video, Especially the chase shots. I like the plane also.

[@MrZip-yo7lm]

Great drone work and awesome sky. Nice video.

[@capnpete1154]

Luv the air to air video! Really gives us a good idea of how it really looks in the air! Would luv to see more bids like this. I may just have to get one of these!

[@brainfreeze1499]

I believe it's you flying the plane Abby. Nice landing.

[@edwarddietrich717]

Hey guys instead of hot glue on the flaps...just connect the flaps to the ailerons... won't hurt the plane and give you more authority on rolls👌😎👍easy peazy...great video kids!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hmm, not a bad idea! Thanks!

[@dtb5357]

Another awesome vid. I wasn't into RC planes but I like have the drone flying with it. Might buy one just to do that. 2 thumbs up!!!

[@fpvclub7256]

Abby, that landing was better than the touch & go. ;) Great job!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Definitely ;) Thanks!

[@Kyosanym]

I was on pins and needles. Great landing Abbey. Good job!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you so much!

[@mentz8915]

Another great video - High Five 🤚 Thank you!

[@raymondkoonce5827]

Tony Sansom is correct. By disabling the flaps, you threw away a set of controls you could wind up wishing you had someday. Yes, I'm a pilot, both R/C and real airplanes. If I'd tried to land my F-104 without flaps, I'd have needed 3 miles of runway. Even in the Air Force, runways that long are rare.

[@jamesmarler3939]

Nice plane I wish I had a big enough place to fly a plane ,but great landing landing Abby, good job guys 👍👍

[@RetroPlus]

Awesome, looks like tonnes of fun.

[@waynecampbell9714]

Thank you for the reply, just receiving your message made me smile. Love the rc Saylors, Popeye you are included obviously.

[@chriscrawford1958]

Abby!!! I was just trying to get DJI to send you guys units for testing. Did you HAVE to say blaaahk ??? What timing!

[@HighTekRedNeck]

Looks good and you can always remove the hot glue with Alcohol later if you want to do the flaps

[@james5460]

Looks like a great beginner plane, thanks for the review.

[@FiveRustyNails]

Yay! My plane fix at last! Thanks guys.

[@mebigjoe1]

Awesome video as always guys thanks for the awesome entertainment

[@nymekpark416]

Post notification on and subscribed love the video

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for tuning in and subscribing! We are happy to have you here!

[@nymekpark416]

Thank you

[@nymekpark416]

Keep doing what your doing your good at it

[@cooknonthebrink7965]

Super fun to watch video. Now I want one of these!

[@Gloveberg1]

Thankfully no drones were harmed in the making of this video :)

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hahaha

[@modelmanfrank]

A friend of mine gave me one. So I am going to try it next week hopefully not to windy

[@thebedrockbeam8224]

Great video guys, i got here so early bc i hit that bell icon 😎

[@rippingj6017]

That was pretty cool, have a great weekend you guys

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks! You too!

[@RICKHALBUR]

Great job Abby!!!!

[@Zygous]

LOVE YOUR GUYS CHANNEL keep up the great work👍👍👌👌👌😀😀

[@RCdiy]

You can use acetone to remove the glue. If you want to later on.

[@rc846]

Does this make sense? You can use throttle as elevator, more THR = ascend, less THR = descend You can use elevator as throttle, more up ELE = slow down, down ELE = speed up. Think of this as you land.

[@md3631363]

Awesome video as always, and really cool plane! :)

[@gallen2497]

What drone was used to capture the flight? The camera on it looks real good.

[@richardowens6868]

Ok so i just saw one of the coolest rc ever.... you guys have to check it out.... Martin Newell is the name of the channel. He makes micro fixed wing rc's and I mean micro 1:98 scale size..... wow....

[@richardowens6868]

with 8 channels......

[@CanadianDroneHub]

Very nice plane and flying . Good review also .

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Roger :)

[@Zygous]

I LOVW YOU GUYS CHANNEL 😀😀😀 keep up the great work

[@jamesceastep8874]

Nice video. I have a question I hope you can shead light on: I have flown several Bixler 3 planes and have a kit in my hanger waiting for assembly, but I have noticed and other have commented on the Bix3 tendancy to tip stall when turning at low speeds. Do you have any suggestions for combatting this problem? Mods to improve performance? Thanks. - Jim

[@gilsanders8448]

Great flying!

[@feeldavibes]

Well nice plane. But please review us the tech dobby drone.

[@simont3686]

Wouldn't it be a better idea to just join the alerions and flaps with tape to keep the option for flaps and have more roll rate?

[@gilsanders8448]

A-1 perfect landing Abbey!!!

[@STEVOD313]

I don't own a plane yet so this was a cool vid for me thanks Nate n Abby n hello poppie

[@thecowpriest7524]

Thanks for the video

[@davidbinsfeld8144]

Thanks for posting awesome videos!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@lynnbeck5903]

Enjoyed watching you guys flying a fixed wing. Was the drone a p4p obsidian?

[@RCinginSC]

Nice drone work.

[@userTJ39780]

She kept porpoising on the approach. Encourage her to just keep the plane tracking straight on approach. I barely touch the throttle at all when I really want it to come down.

[@saherassaf8316]

Love your videos

[@loboquad2122]

Didn't your last plane video have something to do with chopping through the forest to make a rescue?

[@TheRcSaylors]

LOL, possibly :) It's been way too long since we've been out flying! (planes)

[@bidkid2020]

Great video good flying

[@torchs34]

Lòoks like great fun.. thank you !

[@tommymician121]

Do you guys think this more fun than the xk a1200?

[@liamudall5090]

Does the plane come with a transmitter and everything you need? (Batteries, motor, etc.)

[@garryfavor7614]

Amesome landing Abbie!!!!

[@lleemon]

Yes! After 24 car and 50 quad videos we finally get a airplane video.

[@TheRcSaylors]

I know, it's been way too long. We would like to do more, much sooner :)

[@lleemon]

Keep it up, must watch channel, just bias to the airplane videos but watch them all.

[@CradyLab]

Great video guys. Quick question: Do the wings detach easily for transport?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks! Yes they do :-) Just a couple plastic turn and lock in place "screws" that do a very nice job at holding the wings on, but very easy to take apart.

[@CradyLab]

Cool! Thanks =)

[@nymekpark416]

Nice drone camera work

[@ElectronicMechanic50]

Just had maiden flight with mine and it got about 20 feet off the ground nose up stall and then dove to the nose cone smash! Lol of coarse fuselage is out of stock so glue and tape to the rescue lol

[@a.k.3659]

How did that happen? O_o

[@islandnites]

Is there a current version or similar available posted May/2024? thx

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Great video Guys!! 👌

[@carpenterrick186]

Plane day! Great review cheers
