Horizon Hobby - Cirrus SR22T - 1.5m - Very Windy Maiden Flight!!!

[@DiegoOrtiz-hi4uz]

Muchas gracias Brian por tu amabilidad Diego desde sevilla

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

¡De nada!

[@madhatter8088]

Just got one of these yesterday and I love the scale detail. I can't wait to maiden it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It is a beauty! I just need a nice calm day to really get her dialed in - it's been crazy windy most every day since it arrived :(

[@husaberg12]

Great review and flight of the Cirrus🎉😀..Been looking at this since watching your videos!!😊

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! It's a beauty. She's SUPER fun to take landings with, and the mains are SUPER forgiving too! They literally bend out and then bend right back into place!!! The foam is soft enough on the mains that it just bends right along with the aluminum ;)

[@husaberg12]

Brian Phillips That’s real nicely made!..looking forward to getting one👍😊

[@georgegesualdi432]

Hi Brian,Thanks soooooooooooooo much for the tip on the 150% for the flaps, works GREAT! I also removed the wheel pants and put 3.25 low bounce DuBro on rear and 3 inch DuBro up front and shes awesome!!! Thanks again!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks George! She does roll out more than I expect...so the extra drag from the lower flaps help. I kinda wish I could get them down even farther, or maybe I could make a couple main wheel breaks??? That's a good idea for low bounce wheels! Have you bent your mains horribly yet? I had one pointed upside down yesterday - LOL! Let's just say I was being very mean to the plane ;) P.S. I bent the wheel back down in about 1 minute, with no tools!

[@georgegesualdi432]

Not too bad, but a little. Had to do a bit of bend back.

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

Considering the wind, great job. I love that plane 😉

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, thanks. This plane flies great! Very fun to takeoff and land over and over again!!!

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Of course I did not forget on the favorite couple of Iowa. A good job, a very windy day, fantastic flyer SR 22 T ,and my favorite nice duet: Brian & Wife Greeting from Europe

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Josip!!! P.S. I saw you causing trouble on another video the other day, and had to laugh, but didn't want to jump into that rat's nest :) LOL

[@josipvrandecic2472]

''I kill for money, but you are my friend and I kill you for nothing''...lol P.S. :This is from a ''western spaghetti'' film with Clint Eastwood.All the best to you and your family ! Important warning : Listen dear, I'm waiting for your review of large, expensive and demanding models , in the meantime..... I will just observe ... lol...lol...lol...

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Josip, I see you're up to no good again - LOL :)

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Hi Brian,nice model and capable RC pilot...appreciate it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Josip, thanks as always, have you been following the A380 build? I thought I remember seeing you comment over on one of those videos, but can't remember.

[@ryangilmore234]

Oh man, gorgeous gorgeous

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yeah, agreed!!! Thanks :)

[@tdemaree]

That thing is sweet, good work!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Ty! Can't wait to see her really shine on a calmer day. This plane will look so scale!!!

[@spiff2776]

You're right, Brian. Gorgeous! I have the Flyzone Corvallis, so I was going to pass on this one, but your enthusiasm has changed my mind. I'm in. And speaking of gorgeous, when are you going to get your excellent "film crew" in front of the camera? Eric from AroundTuitRC gets Candy in frequently and it's fun to see the banter. Any woman that puts up with plane nerds like us is truly gorgeous:) Thanks for flying for us on windy day!

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Brian. I run across this old video of yours....This is such a beautiful plane. HH should release this one again. You should do another “second thoughts” on this one. 👍👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This plane is a beauty, and one that I wish was re-released as well. What a wonderful plane. We might do a revisit video, if we can squeeze it in. We have a bunch of new stuff just showing up, so we're going to be making a munch of new release videos soon, fyi ;)

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

@@BrianPhillipsRC That’s cool. I understand...Yeah. This is a frequent flier of mine. Especially love the late evening flights with the lights. Really shines flying it scale. 😊

[@thegrayeagle9181]

outstanding guy great aircraft got to get one.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Bellairvideo]

Great flying and discussion Brian Thank you Maybe that piece of plastic you found on the build was the pilots nose!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I jokingly mentioned that, but can't remember if it was in the video. I really have to do something to make this guy look more realistic. I'm thinking of adding some yokes, maybe back lit instrument clusters, luggage that flops around, and of course - a nose :)

[@DeucesWildRC]

Nice work she looks great! I just posted a vid on this plane today, my flying buddy Cliff bought one, flys really nice.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's solid. I really want to get her up when it's nice and calm now that I know she can handle the hurricane force winds...

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

i want this so bad... I think this is my second plane. I just love the look and it seems like its solid and capable. All i have is a UMX right now and its just to small for the wind i have where i live i need something bigger that can handle a little wind.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You will LOVE this plane if you're used to flying UMX. They're so much more capable, and the flaps makes this plane such a joy to fly!

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Brian Phillips you think I can do grass landings and takeoffs with this plane ? They don’t cut the grass very often so it’s a couple inches thick most times.

[@yvandesgagne4967]

Brian! This beautiful Cirrus gives you a smile. :o) He also gives me a smile. I received it and fly. I really like. :o) Thanks for the video !!! Greeting !!! Yvan :o)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Yvan!

[@avugiak]

Wow when did that plane come out? Butifule plane, Brian you got to take a trip to Alaska when you have the time when I get my place you and your family would be more then welcomed to stay and visit us, let's drive are family crazy with nothing but a weekend of flying, he he he!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! I thought you moved back to the lower 48??!?!

[@avugiak]

Yes I'm still in North Carolina I'll be heading back to Anchorage AK in may!

[@DiegoOrtiz-hi4uz]

Buenos tardes este avión cirrus tira bien con el motor original

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, It's very powerful on the stock engine and esc.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sí, es muy potente en el motor de stock y esc.

[@7250dk]

Brian. Are you using 150% flaps for both take off and landing?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

no, I use takeoff flaps (about 1/4 to 1/2 depending on the wing type), and I can't remember the exact settings....I do have that in the build video if you want to know for sure. When I land, I use landing flaps (the "full" deployment). This plane is a really nice plane too! Good value, good looks, great features...I only had to add ONE basic feature (a tail light), and then it's just all enjoyment time!!!

[@7250dk]

Thank you.

[@scotboy1297]

Love the pinochio reference of his nose, why do they make such a gorgeous plane and no thought on the pilot, also have a back seat with luggage.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Totally agree! Also, why no maybe run the servo cables BELOW the luggage area??? I think the servo extension cables would have had to be a little bit longer, and they'd then have a lot more labor to tie up the excess to keep them from getting caught up in the throws of the rudder and elevator, but the Luggage could hide all that stuff, I suppose.

[@tefaniemcgowan4452]

OHH yeah I see a lot of SR22T vids coming up,I ended up getting a little super cub s along with my wildcat and have gone cub crazy!One major thing I like about these your vids is the fact that I dont hear (this is a bad plane) etc... the pilot skills are there and that gives me more to consider when you describe how some of these models fly.If my sport cub s flew fast enough I would rob my duet servo if possible and throw the flaps to it.2 views and one thumbs down would piss me off too HATERS

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! I appreciate the comment and really glad you're enjoying the flying! P.S. Check out some of my UMX videos!!! (Check out the playlists on my channel - sorted by plane) I'm pretty sure there's a spare channel on the Sport Cub S UMX brick...so you should be able to plug in a UMX servo...you gotta just plug it into one of two positions and then see which one brings the servo to life, then play with the upper channels on your radio until it starts moving! Go for it!!!

[@TangyLlama]

Are there actual hinges on the control surfaces? Also, the same question for the air Tractor 1.5m. And which one is better?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Cirrus SR22T 1.5m bit.ly/3fKjO60 Air Tractor 1.5m bit.ly/32q8tnY If you want to see more about these planes, watch the unbox, build, and setup videos, better yet, buy both.

[@millerrc5829]

how much flight time do you get with your battery. and other larger mah batteries that you may have tried

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I'm getting well over 10 minutes of flight time with the 3000mAh 3S 30-40C Turnigy Heavy Duties. The plane will handle the weight just fine, but I suspect you could maybe fit a 5000mAh, but it'll be tight. Good luck! Here's a link to the packs I was talking about... 3000mAh 3S 40C Turnigy HD - amzn.to/2GBMWdN (preferred) 5000mAh 3S 60C Turnigy HD - amzn.to/2CDXo27 (might be a bit large)

[@zackgarcia5465]

Since there was no other way of contacting you, I got mine in the mail today. Somehow. My pilot has a nose and doesn’t look like Voldemort! 😂😂😂

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

What are you taking about Zack? "Since there's no other way of contacting you"??? I see and reply to hundreds of comments a week... What "Other" way do you want to contact me?

[@zackgarcia5465]

Facebook, or on here through a private message or something wanted to talk to you more about the cirrus, and I was also going to make a video as a shout out to you and to some other of my friends on this plane. There are some features About this plane that I noticed That I truly fell in love with. I’m so glad that I have watched your videos, your videos have basically lost in my decision I’m buying this plane, and I can hardly work one for flying general aviation planes, mostly warbirds or Jets but watching videos made by you has not only empty the wallet but made me happy in my decisions. Looking to buy the Cessna citation after that video. Lol

[@jeromes5141]

Hey Brian, how about doing a parachute for this plane?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That would be cool since they have one on many full size Cirrus SR22T's from what I understand....but my docket it so full right now - I have 4 planes waiting to be built, one of which needs to happen like yesterday. So, no powder actuated parachutes in my immediate future :)

[@keithbinder1169]

This plane flys so nice and is such great quality I bought a new pnp on eBay for $139....

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Very nice!

[@jmy2008]

Hi Brian, thanks for a great KZbin channel. I hope you and your family stay healthy in these Covid-19 times. I wonder if you've ever tested 4's battery in the Cirrus SR22 aircraft? I think it lacks some power. Do you think ECS is big enough? It would have been great if you could share some thoughts - or maybe a video on the topic :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Jan! As for low power on the Cirrus SR22T 1.2m...I love it, and haven't ever felt it was lacking in power...I wonder if you have a bad one?!??! Maybe a bad lipo? I suspect the power system would handle 4S just fine, BUT I've never had any reason to try it out. If you do try it, would you mind letting me know what you find out?

[@STX69]

Can I flight this model with the Spektrum DXe transmitter with DSMX 2.4GHz of my Apprentice STS?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I believe you can, but you will not get all the control surfaces.

[@STX69]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for your response :D

[@fiacost3343]

Well, the color looks better on the sun light.....hum, I'm now thinking about it :>)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

How is it that I have one person who watched this video and already gave it thumbs down...it was the second person to see it! So, I just gave this video a thumbs up and then, when I came back, it was a thumbs down!?!?!??!? What is going on KZbin! Maybe the person who did the thumbs down, actually meant for it to be a thumbs up, and doesn't realize it was switched? It was someone from Qatar or the United Kingdom - I will find out - Hope the glitch gets fixed.

[@rileyhowe9610]

Brian Phillips great plane and great flying hopefully my durafly p-40 maiden goes as smoothly WELL DONE

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I want that plane too and really love the bomb-drop feature! Good luck - BE NICE TO YOUR RETRACTS! I hear they're finicky.

[@rileyhowe9610]

Brian Phillips ok thanks if you get one I look forward to your videos I’m getting mine in the next couple of days and there will be videos on my channel of the unboxing , build and the maiden so be sure to have a look

[@MrDpmsar15]

Are the wheels big enough to handle grass takeoff and landing?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Philip Borg I don't have any interest in grass stains because I have access to pavement, BUT I have to say that you could take off AND land from well manicured grass.

[@MrDpmsar15]

Brian Phillips thanks

[@MrJames6891]

Gorgious!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, this plane is a total beauty!!!

[@JoshWeaverRC]

I am not much into recording for videos, but I want to record the plane surfaces to see the flex under pressure. Or maybe I don't. I am starting to get into lights via the use of resistors. Have and will get more 5 V BEC to be consistent from 3S. Picked up some flashing red LEDs for tails.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! Great work - they look better too!

[@fa300ry]

Hi Brian I had a dream that you installed a parachute on this plane !!!!!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Paul, Stop giving me AWESOME ideas!!! LOL

[@Seneslau07]

I had a similar dream too. A few years back, then I designed and installed a 2,8m diameter parachte (about 600g with all the machanics, attachements and all) on my 27% CAP 232 50cc gas plane that has been flying with it for some years now, and saved the plane once. I have it all on forums...cheers!

[@glidingamelia3442]

Hey Brian, Love the plane! It is amazing. What do you prefer? Rc Biplanes or arc Piper cubs. I not sure which one to convert to fly? Great Video!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I've never had a super successful Bi-Plane myself....well, I've had a few, but limited experience. I love most General Aviation planes.

[@glidingamelia3442]

Brian Phillips See I have two nitro RC planes but we plan on selling this beautiful tiger moth. But I have seen that they take quite a bit of piloting. See we plan on making the Piper cub fly again. What what u do?

[@Hinckley_Biker]

Hi Brian just a couple of questions, have you thought about spraying your EPO models with an acrylic lacquer to preserve the finish? also would the Spektrum AS3X RX work with any 2.4ghz TX ? Many thanks.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I've used Polyacrylic for my A330-600. Here's a link... Part 1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZi3f4iJq6qLa7s Part 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5jTdaSghqmfpdk ...It does works well, but not necessary most of the time, in my personal experience. The Spektrum receivers are NOT going to work on any 2.4ghz receivers. They will only work with DSM2 and DSMX transmitters. Yes, several of the other brands, including el cheapo brands, use 2.4ghz, but they find and maintain their connections in a different way, thus they won't work. You might be able to hack them, but I haven't seen anything on how to do it, and I suppose you probably would be hard pressed to have success doing it.

[@Hinckley_Biker]

Many thanks Brian.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

No problem! Thanks for the question!

[@Truthstillmatters2]

Loved it! Thank you for recording it. Have you flown the Commander? I was also thinking about this as a second plane.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nope, can't help you with that, never flown her (yet) - Already muddied the waters enough for one day - LOL!

[@DJBBBOSS]

I would love Cirrus my only concern would be the electrical wing connections and how reliable they would be if you had to remove at least one wing to transport the plane as I would have to do unless I start dropping the rear seats on my estate car..... I have a 1.3m Valiant and that just goes across the rear seats through the side door so I would either have to start dropping my rear seats or remove one wing every time..... from all the reports, videos and pictures though it looks like a really nice plane and love the lights.... thanks for the video's..

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It is kinda big. I've found that when you get past about 1.2 m, they start really getting harder to transport assembled. I CAN do it, but only one or two at a time, whereas I can get maybe 5-6 1.2m planes into our 2011 Chevy Traverse

[@DJBBBOSS]

Yes Brian im the same.... I usually take 3 to 4 models at a time to my local field. A flask of coffee and something to eat and make an afternoon or evening of it.... Lucky i'm only a 2 min drive, its actually easily walkable but who would want to walk and carry all the gear. Im lucky enough to live just on the edge of a city and countryside where there are lots of places me and my friends can fly. I'm still tempted to buy her..... they have one in stock at my local hobby store and i'm not working today and I don't have a wife to nag me and break me into not spending the money Hahahahaaaa.... Hey your a lucky man, my ex wouldn't of held the camera to take video. Don't worry about the thumbs down Brian there is nothing that would make me want to thumbs down any of your videos, i've thumbed up all ive watch.... and subscribed , will look forward to the next video..

[@GarettOleksyn]

HI! I fly the cirrus in real life and was thinking about getting this. How easy is it to fly?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Do you fly any other RC airplanes?

[@dragonsknights]

Maybe you have already learned and bought also the cirrus. Anyway, I would suggest to go in two ways: buy the Cirrus before she goes out of market. It should include the safe system, that's a pleasure when learning to fly. If not, then buy also an Apprentice to learn. Take a look to videos about the SAFE system. cheers from Italy

[@mmmasterscross7915]

How about FPV camera in cockpit?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't film aerial videos. If I wanted to use the footage for "commercial use", I'd have to get a 107 exception from the FAA. Lots of people do it, and lots of people get away with it, but if my channel has the success I hope for, I'll want to avoid any future lawsuits and/or criminal charges from the Federal Aviation Administration. If you are a lawyer, or know of one, who wants to work for free, I'd consider speaking with them to get a legal opinion.

[@dannyhelton6363]

Great video Brian like the reply from the other guy, maybe the extra piece of plastic is his nose!!! Your too funny. My Wife laughed at all you reactions from the unpacking video. She said you sound like me with my new planes. One question because of the low wing, do you think its to much for a newer guy I'm working with, (he has been flying my UMW Timber and sport cub S ok. I should have him fly my larger tie but haven't had the nerve.

I personally wouldn't, unless it was an emergency, but many folks do it all the time. The wheels are large enough to handle a well manicured grass strip, in my opinion, and the landing gear are sturdy enough too.
