MAIDEN FLIGHT! NEW! V2 Avios Hobbyking C-130 Hercules 1600mm from HobbyKing Avios C130

[@mikessi]

Very well done first flight John. The CGI fog was a nice touch for a USCG rescue mission. Everyone knows it’s always sunny in Lynden. Excellent work behind the eyepiece GB. Very smooth and steady.

[@JohnVHRC]

Haha, yessir, thankyou!

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Mike! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@reckemroysrc3764]

I've never seen fog in LYNDEN 🙄

[@AlfieDoug]

Now try landing on that grass 😄

[@JohnVHRC]

Grass video coming soon. It does great!!

[@gazza4230]

Hi John I’m two years late to the party but have just acquired this in my hanger as h king had sale on I’m looking forward to getting this in the air, it’s great to see all these older vids to get tips and tricks from you guys

[@jettechdonatkins]

Awesome maiden flight with the very cool Avios C-130 V2! Anyone can make a decent landing,but to nail that manhole cover really takes talent,lol! Well done,John! Nice job recording this GB! Thanks my friends👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻

[@JohnVHRC]

Landing on a postage stamp. Haha. Thanks!

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Don! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@jettechdonatkins]

@@GBLynden Hi GB how are you and your lady tonight? I'm just watching some videos and maybe an episode of Justified on dvd,not tired yet,I sleep too much during the day,lol!

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Great scale maiden John, nice flight times on 4s 2200 battery. Great video GB. What a great C 130, Jeff in LA USA

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks Jeff!

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Jeff! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Idk y these aren't 6s. Something that large (& in charge! 😁), should be 6s capable.

[@biggnasty989]

This video put this plane on my purchase list. Thank you

[@JohnVHRC]

@@biggnasty989 appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Link in the description ;) appreciate ya

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Nice John!! I got the same thing flying mine for 5 minutes also, 3.78 per cell, and realized the gear sequencer when I unboxed as well, great flight, love how she handles, thanks for sharing 👊🏼👊🏼

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks buddy!

[@RARenfield]

Lovely maiden! Another winner.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks so much!

[@stuartwarnerc]

Hey John, thanks for the effort, it paid off, great video as always.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! :D

[@7demo7review]

Love your videos man!

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks man! I’ve mentioned you in a couple builds now. Haha.

[@dutchloveRC]

great looking plane John

[@JohnVHRC]

Thank you so much!

[@craigpennington1251]

What an outstanding C-130. Smooth flying of it too. This is impressive. Watch those street lamps! Love the livery on the 130 & the lights are really cool. Not going to name names but I know a fellow that can loop a Huey and a 130. He's done it over our farm a couple of times when he was in service. That was really impressive to see.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks so much! That would be amazing to watch!

[@craigpennington1251]

Very welcome guys.

[@normleonard52]

Nice job guys.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thank you Norm!

[@KenSprouseJr]

Great flight John! With that light fog it really made the lights look great!

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks! I thought it was fitting for a coast guard bird!

[@reckemroysrc3764]

The lights are awesome. I really like the lights on the gear doors. Super scale looking plane. Let's get this and the ec 1500 o. The air together. 👍👍😎👊🤘

[@gooniac33]

Very cool!! I see the real version here over me a couple times a year!

[@JohnVHRC]

They sound cool!

[@scottfordbrewer4380]

That was very cool.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks! Its a sweet plane!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great maiden flight John, really like this version. Good tip about the gear of you have them down before you join the battery. I think she looks great with the drop tanks.

[@jcb6713]

dang good looking plane and flight !!!

[@JohnVHRC]

Thank you JCB!

[@gbro8822]

Very nice John, thank you.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks Bro!

[@RCFlyer007]

Really good review without a bunch of bs. That first landing was really sweet! The second would’ve been just as good if it wasn’t for the manhole cover glad it didn’t hurt the plane

[@SanDiegoUteFan]

Nice work John and GB. Beautiful plane. Much nicer than the E-flite offering.

[@DeucesWildRC]

Nice job as always John! This one’s nicer than Eflites version 👍

[@JohnVHRC]

Thank you!

[@re3065]

Where are the FLOATS AND RECEIVER with 6-AXIS GYRO like the Horizon Hobby EC-1500? 😉

[@JohnVHRC]

@@re3065 apples to oranges

[@old-rcplane-phart]

@@re3065 Its NOT an eflite/horizon hobby version (as i responded to ur other posts, other pages.), yet. This one is from Hong Kong. Available in the USA for the price of the plane, PLUS about $300 shipping.

[@re3065]

@@old-rcplane-phart - The price in the USA from the USA Warehouse is $399 with FREE SHIPPING

[@M4rkmcc21]

Thars such a huge plane and 4 power plants on a tiny 2200 4s! Id be hoping id get my 3500 4s in there but if u were near nose heavy already 😮

[@edsondamasceno6151]

Olá John, lindo aeromodelo excelente voo, parabéns.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thank you so much!

[@ShawnG_FPV]

Damn good looking bird in the air, nice tame stable flight ftw!!

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks!

[@BreydonsRC]

Cool plane! And nice landing. New subscriber.

[@JohnVHRC]

happy to have you! Thanks!

[@victorrcjets7660]

Cool v2

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks Victor, the hum of 4 motors is pretty cool!

[@Chip-gk1ic]

[@airhammer6203]

Nice flight John, you sounded happy. GB!!! Think it'll balance with a 2600? for a little more flight time? I thought it might need at least a 3000 to balance. I was wrong :).

[@JohnVHRC]

Oh yeah, my first 4 engine! 2600 isnt much more than a 2200, it should work.

[@GBLynden]

Thank Air Hammer! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice ;)

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks!

[@florianammann6555]

Very beautiful. Do you know if there is or will be a V2 in military design like in V1?

[@JohnVHRC]

Doubt it. But I really have no clue.

[@craigpennington1251]

P.S. You guys need your own private strip. Landing gear is really sturdy. Thanks for sharing this great 130.

[@JohnVHRC]

I wish!

[@craigpennington1251]

Very welcome guys.

[@darkofc]

👍

[@JohnVHRC]

[@dronepilot260rc]

Any major difference from version 1?

[@JohnVHRC]

I mention that in the build video I have up, its lighter to fly better, and some flap geometry has been adjusted, rudder linkage changed.

[@rickwentworth6842]

Do you know the shipping box dimensions?

[@pavelolmr7350]

Battery is from HK also? Put the link here pls. THX

[@JohnVHRC]

[@matthewmorrissey2568]

Can you do just 7 channels? One flap channel and 7th channel for door?

[@JohnVHRC]

Yep

[@RCFlyer007]

What receiver would you recommend for this plane? 8 channel?

[@JohnVHRC]

7channel. 8 would make everything work right.

[@RCFlyer007]

@@JohnVHRC Thanks John

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Isn't it a bit under powered? My ec1500 i had was & it was only 2 motors.

[@JohnVHRC]

Nope, watch my latest video of it taking of tall grass, lots of power.

[@maxchin6069]

May I ask the specifications of the battery? Thank you

[@JohnVHRC]

4s2200mah

[@stevenpricexd]

Has anyone done grass takeoffs?

[@JohnVHRC]

Yep. I’ve done a bunch. Works great!

[@re3065]

Where are the FLOATS AND RECEIVER with 6-AXIS GYRO like the Horizon Hobby EC-1500? 😉

[@JohnVHRC]

This is a scale plane ;)

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Read my other replies to ur SAME comment/question! This is NOT an eflite/HH model. This is from Hobby King in Hong Kong. + U will NEED a minimum of 8 channels to fly this.

[@JohnVHRC]

@@old-rcplane-phart No, 6 channels

[@salvadoralba8207]

This is not a hobby 😲🪖🫨

[@JohnVHRC]

Yep, sure is

[@superpela1]

Sorry but i don't think flying over the city streets is something on the AMA regulations. So for all AMA members that cares i wil have to give a thumbs down.

[@JohnVHRC]

Ahhh, the fun police are here! Haha. Since you don't know much about this, this is a private business park, that I have permission from the owner to fly at. Nice try though. Thanks for watching!

[@superpela1]

Again not trying to police anyone, all we know what the FAA is trying to do with the remote ID right? Just saying...

[@JohnVHRC]

@@superpela1 yep. Thanks to those flying near full scale airplanes and airports, with drones. Not some guys with foam planes at a private location. Even the police come and watch. They love it.

[@miguelito2885]

This hobby it’s getting worse because of this type of folks , you go in the park to fly and have a good time watching and flying your plane and then there’s allways an asshole coming up to you asking if you have an AMA membership , talk about the hobby and the planes not AMA .

[@GBLynden]

@@miguelito2885 Well said! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@pikachu6031]

Why don’t you just say “5 foot 3 inch” Wingspan?? It’s so much easier and just makes far more sense to say just over a Five Foot Wingspan, than it does to say 1600mm. Which means absolutely Nothing!!!

[@JohnVHRC]

Haha, Its massive!
