How NOT to install skis on RC EDF jet plane but still have good time

[@dronepilot260rc]

I like this format. Showing the drive to the field is a nice addition 👌 Salute to both of you guys

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Its great idea by Captain.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@jasonhansen782 It's on Google Maps!

[@Retset]

Watching in slow motion, it is exactly as you said in the video: It takes off perfectly but then the skis flip to a crazy angle and down she goes! I'm glad there is so little damage to the plane and I enjoyed the gorgeous scenery.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah my friend. All in all it was one beautiful day.

[@TheBigO-k6g]

Did the front tip of the skis catch the ground and drag her down? Maybe spring load the skis so the tips always point up a bit once airborne . Great winter effort though. Onward and Upwards!

[@Retset]

@@TheBigO-k6g When you watch it slow motion, literally frame at a time, you will see it lifted off perfectly. Immediately after, the rear skis tilted so the back of them were touching the wing. This massive drag pitched the aircraft down and into the ground. All over in the blink of an eye!

[@lenburns6287]

Am l glad l came across you two brothers. Nothing phases both of you, such a good attitude to life. I will be flying (hopefully) in the spring when it is a bit warmer. Being a genuine 'Golden Oldie' coming up to 82 years young in a couple of weeks time, my old bones can't take the cold weather. I do so much admire your get 'up and go' spirits. Happy flying in 2022. Special greetings from the Midlands UK.

[@North49RC]

The entertainment doesn't end with you guys, that made me chuckle. When Capn Blaz showed the jet in the back of the car you could see the opposing ski arrangement and I figured this will be a fun landing... but here you surprised me. That was one of the shortest flights you have had so far. And I wasn't wrong, the landing was spectacular in classic Petrincic Bros fashion. Good vid gents, I salute you!

[@randall4411]

Such a beautiful morning for a walk and a very short flight . Thanks Captains !

[@larryhoskins5524]

I love your enthusiasm for our hobby,snow and -6,no worries.I salute you Robert ans Blaz.

[@alanciner1835]

Well,, it's the day after Christmas here and the real present is not the maiden flight with ski's. It's seeing my favorite brothers braving the snow and cold to bring us another video. Love to you both and your families! Big salute from Chicago!! Oh yeaaah!

[@williamrobinson7435]

This is just the aero modelling life.. Also the snow is not perfectly level, there are bumps and so on. It definitely caught on something. Good job it's such a light plane! Hope you had fun with the kids afterwards. Big salute from London.

[@TT-yg2np]

Big Salute to both of you guys! We love the enthusiasm and passion for this hobby! Keep up the good work guys!!!!!

[@FindmeFPV]

You guys are still after many years one of my favourite guys on YT.... Big salute from NM!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Well thanks my dear friend for such kind words and for comments.

[@charlesherrmann719]

Love your “can do’” attitude. Can’t wait for your second try. Keep it up guys.

[@traveler7137]

Shows the resilience of those foam planes though doesn't it I mean it was traveling pretty good when it went up and then it went down hard . Balsa would be in 100 pieces. But you got to love balsa too.

[@andrewterbizan9089]

Thank you Blaz for the video of the drive to the field also good to see that the plane wasn't damaged badly. Always enjoy your videos no matter what.😍👍

[@dougmcpheters1546]

I think the Habu looks better without the pointed nose cone. Good job fellows. Thanks for the introduction to the video! Nice touch!

[@thomasarchambeau2661]

I learned the same lesson myself. You two are great.

[@joehiden7475]

Salooooooot you guys! I love this video. You are a hard core RC dude flying in the snow. I got the Habu STS for Christmas. Please try this again because it opens up new ideas to getting jets in the air when your flying field is rough until it snows.

[@mikeflight9]

Its all part of the fun guys. Merry Christmas and I wish you and your families all the best for 2022. 😃👍🎸🎅🎄

[@theflash0815]

Looks so good at the beginning and then turns to the bad!😬 but this is the real modellers life because we are all humans and make sometimes some mistakes. See you back with correct mounted ski springs and great flight 😊

[@pigeonmail8374]

I ghope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for providing us with another year of quality entertainment contents, and for spreading brightness in the midst of troubled times we are all going though! I've been watching you guys's content for a number of years now, and you guys have never failed to brighten my day through each video.. I hope you and everyone aruond you are all well and healthy; be safe, and god bless!

[@GBLynden]

Good work guys! We have 30MPH wind gusts in blizzard conditions here, so we cannot even attempt fun like this. I look forward to seeing this fly again soon! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

We dont have snow anymore. The bird is ready. Maybe there will be another chance before spring.

[@PhilipCockram]

Driving with Capt. Blaz . Thanks for the lesson guys . Get those springs right ! I picked up some Du-Bro skis , both sizes # 825 large , they come in different colors and #830 are smaller ones . I also got a set of the hard to find E-Flite EFLA970 , that has a small tail ski included . Looking forward to trying them out . Hope you had a great Christmas , Salute !!

[@hape4]

Now this was crazy! Such a beautiful morning and well prepared for a good flight and then because of such a little detail the plane went down pretty hard. If you replay in slow motion and high resolution it’s clearly happening because the ski’s went downwards just after take off and a fraction of a second later the plane goes down. What a thing to happen and good thing only the nose of the plane was damaged. It’s really a tough little plane! Greetings to Slovenia my friends

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

The devil is in small things my friend ;-)

[@rcdavidk]

The skis tilted down at the front and acted as a brake... and pitched the jet right down. Don't use a string. Use nylon fishing wire at the back of the skis to limit down movement at the back of the ski. At the front of the ski use elastic cord - a stretchy string - the type used in crafts. By using elastic cord, the front of the ski will be pulled up a tiny bit and will push the back of the ski down. This is good for landing where you want to touch down on the back of the ski first. With the back of the ski limiting movement, the front can't move too far up and create other flap type problems. The DU-BRO skis have a spring which control the pitch of the skis. Looking forward to your next test. Cheers from Canada.

[@wednesdaykartingflyingclub8164]

This is why I love your channel. One never knows what will happen. You guys aren’t afraid to show all the mistakes. In fact, you two have a great time even if the outcome isn’t what you had planned for. Mistakes will be made but there’s always a lesson to be learned. 😁

[@lesliemiller5980]

Just watched this in Slo-Mo myself. hape4 is right, all 3 skis point down at take-off and nose the Habu into the snow. Doesn't look too badly damaged. Good thing it was still close to the ground. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you guys, and as always, Salute !! from Texas.

[@richardkelley5269]

Salute! Pilot Robert and Captain Blaz I love your channel cuz you show everything, the tips and tricks that you give is wonderful too. Thanks guys for another days of content. Cant wait to see it in flight with the ski's and i hope for a good landing.

[@tobiaswehrle1308]

better luck next time! It´s how you always say: Every time you fly, you risk the crash. Nevertheless, i always enjoy your videos. Greets from Germany !

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks Tobias. Will have to wait for new snow. This one from video was gone too quick.

[@williesmith4546]

This was a big nothing LOL 😆 I kind of think you were on the ground a little long and the nose gear caught a high part of the snow ❄️ and dug in. But this is the life of an RC pilot big salute to both of you I still miss the Christmas special this year and Captain Blaz basement where we cook up some Slovenian sausage and need some other goodies and talk about the year

[@SunriseRCAviator]

To bad about that freak crash. I thought about skis on the Habu just yesterday so it was so interesting to see you guys doing it. I also had a great frosty winter flight this morning. Beautiful scenery you got at that site.

[@rcaviationcrawling7351]

Well, the takeoff and flight were excellent, and the Ski Install was risky, but you had the pilot's spirit of adventure so you gave it a try! 👍👍 No one could have done better, and you had fun and so did the viewers, so great job; hope the beautiful plane can be fixed to your liking. 👍👍

[@old-rcplane-phart]

From what i remember, when ur putting the spring on/in, the tag end of the spring goes in the rear of the ski(s). Supposed to keep the rearward part of the skis down 30 degrees. If its the other way, down in front, it can stick in the snow & ice. TOO, u can wax, wd40, etc the bottom of the skis so itll slide easier. 👍😁

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

This was our mistake my friend.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

@@PetrincicBrosRC EZ mistake to make! Unfortunately, the springs go on both ways! 😜

[@deweylee2449]

Much Much better my friends. I really enjoyed the intro so much. Just a word. Start during your preparation getting ready to go as well as the trip on the way. Then your videos would be a 10 on the scale of 10. I thought you had a 10 out of a 10 before but now I say it was only a 9 before today.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Great try, will get it next time, stay warm, salute Jeff in LA USA

[@georgemosca5530]

WOW! Boys, you have an INCREDIBLE WILL POWER! Thank you for this video! I know the plane will be in the air very soon! Regards, George

[@kartherton]

Grand tundra on skis! Go on, do it. 👍 Keith. UK 🇬🇧

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I wasnt flying that baby for years I think. Could be fun.

[@kartherton]

@@PetrincicBrosRC Oh yeah. Go on do it. I have a grand tundra that I use as a glider tug. Pulls the gliders up great. Now that would also be fun to see you two do a glider tug. One on the plane, one on the glider. 😏👍 Have a nice New Year to you both. Keith. UK 🇬🇧

[@mongoose4117]

Oh man!! She raced off fast, didnt take too much damage. I pulled the rubber nose off my habu and installed carbon rods going back thru the whole front end. Then re glued rubber nose and carbon stripps in the top of the nose and she's rock hard, won't snap off like yours did. Also, even tho you did install the springs backwards, you could cut pyramid shaped clear plastic and zip tie this to your struts and tape/glue, to the skis and this would keep the ski braced, front and back and level in flight. Might be worth it, with somthing so fast. I thought you were a boss for taking the corner at 30miles per hour, in your car!!!😲😝👌then I realized it would be kilometers per hour!! Haha,still fast for the ice. I did somthing fun today in a bit of a blizzard! I modded my eflite 1.2m june night p-51mustang fighter. Running now a 1260kv 15size motor from a v900(instead of the stock 850kv, the eflite 1260 kv is capable of much higher watts, as well). Paired with an 80 amp predator, fms, 6s capable esc(stock, if you don't remmember, is limited to 4s). Running a 2200mah 6s setup. I have a 6s habu and the p51 is making it look slow!! I also have a v900 and a v1200 and the p51 sounds about like the v1200 and is nearly as fast!!! Today would be its 6th flight set up like this. It comes down barely warm. The air frame is taking the speed with no signs of stress and flight characteristics are amazing, locked in. I'm running a 9x9E 2 blade apc prop(stock, scale 4 blade prop is way too much draw and will smoke this setup). This set up is great on 4s, as well, very fast. Ive power tested this all on my gt power meter, and a 9x9 prop is the limit here. Static tests are hot but this set up flys fine as long as its treated nice, staying away from long hard pulls, especially verticle!! Amazingly fast, I recommend this mod. I also fly a v900 motor in my fms 1100mm zero fighter but 4s only as 6s wont really fit and 8x8 prop with 60amp esc like v900, performance is still 100mph pluss!! On a 4s 2200mah. Any way cant wait to see your 6s habu on skis, again. Update, performance limit with 1260kv motor in p51 is 5s. On 6s the motor is emitting a crackling noise and is over voltage, apparently. 5s is the top and is very fast. 4s is also great. I will be searching for a motor that will handle 6s. I'm , now static testing this with a new v900 motor and its not emitting crackling noises anymore on 6s. So most likely will be flying this again on 6s, just very judiciously.

[@glenb785]

its great how you show your failures -well done ! you learn from your mistakes

[@DigitalDonsRC]

Gives the term "Jet Ski" a whole new meaning!!! 😎

[@darkofc]

👍😊 one learn something every time - still, huge respect for even going out .. (little lamb is waiting for me ..😉)

[@paulhope3401]

I kinda saw that coming as I was wondering how you had sprung the skis to avoid them acting as aero surfaces.

[@nathanpinger9593]

Omg that is funny, when Robert pulls in. It's just like me and my bro.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Best times in life my friend. Iam so lucky to have Blaž.

[@lolitoelpiloto]

Hey guys!! Was a great idea and preparation with the skis!! Unfortunately yes!, the skis made the plane crash, as soon as it lift off, both right and left skis, started pointing down and they actuated as a kind of elevator, making the plane dive. In the video is totally clear. But HEY!!! As always, great video and good chance to know how to install the skis next time! SALUTE you guys!!😉💪

[@hotcopter]

Wow, I was actually saw that when you were taking off, but I couldn't do nothing at that point, but you'll be back together my brother's.!! 👊😎👍 🛩

[@annevisscher8206]

Maybe you can keep the nosewheel on the nose, and the skies under the Wing. And the skies might me a bit broad/wide. Narrow skies affect the earodynamics less.

[@BillKisel]

I'm so glad I decided to use floats instead of skis on my "snow" plane. Looks to me like skis are a big pain in the burr. Can you make a video where you fly one of your planes off the snow using floats? Thanks.

[@DadsRCHangar]

At least you have some fun, I am sure you will repair and she be flying again. Have a great day 👍🏻

[@randywilliamson2664]

Awesome plane eh? I do love the upgrade from the sts. So sad to see the crash though, but thanks to your experience, I was made aware and able to solve this problem with the springs beforehand. It flies like it has landing flaps deployed with these runners on and with so much uplift, acrobatics are quite challenging. But, it most certainly was a lot of fun flying off the ice and snow.

[@crashrr2993]

@@PetrincicBrosRC You’re not the only one to prang an aeroplane today…. We had a beautiful day here in the UK, so I decided to go fly. I launched my model straight into the wind which, I quickly discovered to my horror, was the same direction as the low winter sun. I was immediately blinded. Seconds later, I heard the inevitable BANG as my plane crashed back to terra firma. I found it in the next field, standing vertically, its nose buried right up to the wings in the soft mud. It took me an hour to clean up the fuselage and all the electronics but, fortunately, only the engine mount was destroyed. Another lesson learned!

It may help to raise the front a little to give it a nose up angle of attack It will help get the wind under the wings for a fast lift off and yeah it would help a lot to put the spring on the right side lol You guys will figure it out Y'all always do It will take to the sky next time 👍
