I am pulling the trigger on that plane. I didn't like it at first because of the color scheme. But, the more I keep seeing it, I've finally falling in love with it. And, I don't have a lot of room, so those quick connect wings are sweet. Thanks for the video.

that is a pretty plane!! That fan sounds really good with lots of thrust to boot!! Nice to see that FW started putting more into their fan design! Great flight guys!! The Gyro comes with it??? Man this is a good deal on this bird!! And that first flight the battery came down at almost 3.8v per cell!! That new fan is gooooooood!!

If you drill a small hole on the canopy, you won’t get the gator affect because the air inside the canopy will not get super heated.

Excellent flying, Bobby. I'm looking really hard at this, and Flex Innovations F-100D SUPER SABRE 90MM EDF SUPER, or the Freewing F-86 Sabre High Performance 80mm. Tough decisions!
@RCPlaneReviewer Жыл бұрын
I heard the f100 is weak and under powered the f86 high performance is solid!
@davidgerlach1132 Жыл бұрын
I'm in then. Also, F-86's probably more economical on power. The other Sabre that's looking interesting is the Banana Hobby AeroFoam Blue White MiG-17 90mm that you so eloquently flew in your video. This would sit nicely next from my Viper 90mm.

Nice easy upgrade for all older FW 80s is to put this new fan in. Bet its similar to the FMS 2000kv unit. Looked like it was as agile and quick as the futura v3. Which is huge praise 👍🏾

What's the aerobatic potential. These flights showed nothing. Knife edge, point rolls. How much forward stick to hold inverted etc. Everyone just wants to bank and yank
@RCPlaneReviewer Жыл бұрын
Rule#1 on maiden flights is none of that. A maiden flight is to see how the plane flies in a normal setting. We push the airplane in the 2nd-3rd video. And for speed trials. If you're looking for aerobatics ect on a maiden flight, we are not the channel for you, but thanks for watching.
