I've just ordered myself one of these, now if only I could buy your flying skills too. LMAO! More seriously, the fun is in the journey of learning.

btw, hot glue comes detaches super easily with alcohol. It leaves no trace. Let it dry for a minute and glue back in.

Martin, denatured alcohol will remove anything stuck by hot glue quickly and easy, with no mess and no harm to any airframe. 👍🏻 is there a gyro in the plane?

Heh, that one will handle absolutely insane wind, love the Edge v3. When the wind picks up, you can kite it in one spot, or hover and torque roll as you drift across the field :-) I do recommend larger wheels than stock if you're landing on grass, 2.5" wheels work much better.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Very true! Yeah, I fly from basically carpet so wheels are find, I would guess that when from grass best is just to hand launch it anyway,,,

I wish you would have flown some regular flight paths so we could see how a beginner would fly it and how forgiving the plane is on flight. But your ability to push the plane to its limits is amazing. I had to say that because the guidelines say to be respectful. Lol.

[@FelipeCerdaBarra]

hi Martin, I saw you put the battery in that slot in the fuselage, but do you secure it with something else so it doesn't fly away during flight?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hi Felipe, the hole is a little too small for the battery, so it holds it in place without need for any other fixings. Its important to store the model without battery when not flying so the foam “bounces back” and doesn’t adapt to the size…

[@FelipeCerdaBarra]

[@ConcreteBombDeep]

What happens if you scale these types of planes down to like a foot long? Could they still fly slow or no?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Yes, the only problem is scaling down the weight in the same proportion as the wingspan… you need extremely light equipment and materials to make a foot long version with similar wingloading

[@m.s.aviation7065]

[@ukmitch86]

Hi Martin, just discovered your channel. Do you have any preference between the profile foamies you've flown? I was looking at the Hacker SUpreme, but these RC Factory models are similar.

[@DNowlan1]

Martin - fantastic video and you really have got my attention on this. If you don't mind me asking I have a few question, *The Wing alignment - do you have any tips on this. With this class of plane, particularly with the airfoil shape it's a real crunch point of the build. With balsa and the 32" foamies you don't think about this *How does this fit into the foamy food chain. Is it the perfect mid point say between the 32" MXS/Crack Yak the TH Veloxity? *What was your final flying weight? Lastly in addition to your fantastic flying I've always been a great admirer of your positive attitude and enthusiasm. It's a joy to watch. Many thanks in advance for your answers.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

-Wing alignment is quite easy as "forward-backward" there are notches in wing and fuselage that align so you can't get it wrong. "up-down" is also relatively simple as the fattest part of the wing is same thickness as the fuselage, so you can tack that part in and then just need to eye ball the rear of the wing, but given the thickness it is quite easy to get right. -This foamy kind of fits in as "not a foamy", flies more like a proper plane as starts to have some weight to it and wants to fly, not just float. Haven't tried the Veloxity yet. -Weight, sorry, dont ever look, but mine will be about 40g heavier than normal due to the servo change... Thanks for the feedback!!! Glad you like!!

[@DNowlan1]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC Thank you kind sir - I appreciate it. The thing that blew me away is how precise the Edge flew. That for me was the stand out. Thanks again!

[@DNowlan1]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC One last thing a suggestion for a future video. The Extreme Flight 1.2 - 1.5m wing span class electric planes are really well documented and show cased really well. What is less known is the electric analogues in this class from Pilot RC. In particular the 1.5 - 1.7m wingspan class. I reckon that would be a great video and how this fits into the food chain. Totally up to you but just a suggestion.

very flying man. If that was the 2212 motor, I can't believe people writing "these are too weak" you should go with the 2217/1170kv lol.

The problem is that the provoded prop is indeed too weak... needs to use the other prop that I mention in the video, it changes the power radically..

Hi Martin. Great video and flying, as always. I do have a question... I have a similar plane like the one in this video and I can't seem to keep it from torque rolling during hovers. All the trims are good and the airframe is straight. Any ideas? Thanks : )

[@Coops777]

Are you running massive high rates on your ailerons? They need all the deflection they can get in a hover as there is only prop wash available to work with

[@drakkorvladimir4012]

@@Coops777 Hi, yes all that I fly it on is high rates. I have a lot of 3D planes and this is the only one that is like this. As always, some right aileron is needed, but on this plane it takes full deflection most of the time. I am kind of thinking about changing prop size/prop pitch?

[@og_myxiplx]

@@drakkorvladimir4012 Yup, I find the same. Lots of aileron and regular bursts of throttle are needed to add that extra aileron authority.

[@drakkorvladimir4012]

@@og_myxiplx Doesn't the extra throttle make it torque roll even more to the left? I haven't had the chance to try it out on my problem plane yet though.

[@og_myxiplx]

@@drakkorvladimir4012 I'm not an expert, but there seems to be a balance there with many models. A quick burst of throttle gives you much more authority on the controls. In a hover it's only the prop that's creating the airflow after all.

hola, muy buen trabajo, aquí tienes además de like otro suscriptor... tengo una pregunta, tengo este modelo, en cuestión y no se donde colocar la batería para que no se salga en vuelo.. con otros modelos que tengo va siempre atada en el interior del fuselaje, podrías darme algo de luz algún consejo?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hola Fran, en los corchos, siempre hago un recorte en el fuselaje vertical, ligeramente más pequeño que la batería. Así, meto la batería en ese hueco y queda atrapado por la elasticidad del corcho. Antes de cortar, haz un vuelo o dos con la batería colocada con cinta donde crees que debe ir, de forma que te permite encontrar la posición perfecta, antes de cortar.

Those servos cost like 4 times the plane

[@JamesAnderson-fe8yu]

Sorry Martin, for a profile foamy, your idea and mine regarding"cheap" differ! Especially when you add servos costing more than £50.00 each to the pudding. For you, as a world class pilot, that's probably OK. But the majority of club guys that I fly with could spend that sort of money on something much more cost-effective, and still have lots of fun! (Used to be- the building was also part of RC models. Building with some pieces of Depron would result in something costing a fraction of what you're paying for this.)

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Hi James, I totally see your angle. As mentioned in the video, my replacement servo choice is very much over the top, and for most is totally unnecessary. That aside, with the stock gear it is a relatively inexpensive model considering the fun it can provide. The stock setup uses almost no-brand gear so is as cheap as you can get for the size... The airframe is more expensive than Depron, but take into account your time to cut, paint and build a Depron model (I have been there too!), calculate it a couple of times as Depron usually doesn't "bounce back" too well, and it isn't that much different... Either way, as long as it flys and you can have fun with it, doesn't matter what size, material or brand it is, just go fly. Happy landings!

[@sit-and-fly7785]

Always enjoy your videos, but I might disagree with calling this foamy "cheap". I'm in the US and the airframe is $119 from Twisted Hobbies. The DS95 servos are $78.50 each from MKS Servos USA. So you are looking at $433 USD before the power system is purchased. Ouch! I would have to stick with lesser servos but then I wouldn't be able to fly like you.......😉

The hi-v Corona servos with metal gears are about 7-10 bucks and I swear by them. I feel like for a foamy, spending more than 15 bucks on servos is wasting the money.
