Grande my amigo my man!! Hoy voy a buscar una Fox3000 que encontré de casualidad (sólo porque otro tipo me quería cambiar un jet nuevo por un Fox pero encontré otro casi de regalo jajaja). La usaré para practicar pues el 2023 me compré una Fox de FlyFly Hobby de 3000mm también pero de fibra super barata pero tengo que armarla y en teoría es para volar sin motor. O sea o slope soaring (para acrobacias que para lo que son las Fox) o para remolcar con otro avión y tengo unos amigos que les gusta hacer eso. A ver si puedo remolcar también ésta fox pero tendría que instalarle un servo o gancho por lo menos. Muy lindo vuelo hermano! A veces mucho motor para ser un avión a vela o planeador pero era el maiden así que estabas nervioso :) Los aterrizajes perfectos :) Y ya habías personalizado tus aviones con naranjo la Fox y Amarillo la Cub. Entretenido vuelo con Oscar que ya era machito con ese Super Socrpion xD Alguna vez le mezclaste a la Fox los flaps con lo ailerons para girar mas rapido? Porque creo que si pueden subir los flaps también. Yo si se puede lo haré para practicar eso también y quizás los snap flaps y para frenar en el aterrizaje el butterfly como le llaman en Alemania o inglés spoilerons (up) creo. O sea alerones 15-20 grados para arriba y flaps para abajo a lo que den, para maximizar el frenaje. Espero que estés bien y te deseo un excelente día! Siempre es muy ameno recibir tus comentarios. Saludos también a tu amigo Oscar

[@ficosk8]

Pues ahora he visto un video promocional antiguo de Alemania y muchos comentarios malos de que el modelo planea muy poco y pierde velocidad. Pues estoy inseguro de comprarlo pero ya he dicho que si. Por 190 dolares quizás no está mal xD

[@ricardopr54]

​@ficosk8 Muchas gracias hermano x tu siempre apreciado comentario 😊...Primero q todo, te deseo un muy feliz nuevo año2025...Q tengas muchísimos Buenos vuelos y aterrizajes también...🙏😊👍🏾 En cuanto so Fox 3000, no tengas tremor... Ese avión es un excelente planeador... Lamentablemente, ya no tengo ese avión. Se me estrelló hace varios años debido a que el servo del elevador se despegó de su base en pleno vuelo y perdí el control total del avion. Fue pérdida total. Pero luego de éso compré el FMS ASW-17 de 2.5M y también le pinté el ala igual a la de mi Fox 3000. Ese lo tengo aún y me encanta. Mi amigo Oscar aún tiene su Fox 3000 y aún vuela excelentemente bien. En cuanto a tú preocupación sobre si planea bien o no se avión, pues míralo tu mismo en este video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGemcolrhsx-bJIsi=oyaBgbj1ndqMSFvh Oscar y yo volando cada quien su glider para ver cual de los dos podría estar en el aire mas tiempo sin tener q usar el motor... Recuerda q el Fox 3000 es mas grande y pesado, pero sun así en 2 ocasiones le gano al mio... Osea q el Fox 3000 si es un muy buen planeador...😊 Ahh y no vas a necesitar ese carrito para despegar... Recuerda q ese video q viste era viejito de cdo yo tuve mi 1er glider... en el video q te comparto aquí verás q ese glider gigante despega muy fácilmente lanzandolo. Gracias de nuevo x tu comentario. Q tengas una excelente noche. Saludos desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵🌵👍🏾😁🇵🇷

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Well I dont know if I love the Fox glider at the begaining or the cub at the end? Which one I enjoyed more? .... IAhh both!!!!!! Great video!

[@ricardopr54]

Thank you very much for visiting my channel and posting your comment my friend!... I like both planes, but my favorite between the two is definitely my Carbon Z Cub... Thanks again for your comment my friend! Have a great rest of your day! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🌵🇵🇷

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

@@ricardopr54 Well I own the Carbon Z Cub, and the Carbon Z Cub SS (new orange one) and both are excellant flyers but the SS is my favorite because it has better landing gear and is less likely to tip stall. Also the orange is easier to see in most weather. I also own the Carbon Cessna 150 but its an entirley different type plane so I wont compair them. Both great flyers but different animals all together.

[@ricardopr54]

@@FatGuyFliesRC I know what you mean about the Carbon Z Cub SS, since one of my friends has it. I upgraded my Original Carbon Z Cub's landing gear and wheels because the original ones sucks. I installed an Articulated landing gear from Cublandingear.com , and DuBro 6" inflatable tires... that makes my landings more enjoyable and soft, and also eliminates the wing tips to get scratched during landings if the plane start to roll to the side. My Carbon Z also has a battery tray kit upgrade made by Morgan Mills. In other words, everything Eflite copied from other custom builders to upgrade their Awesome new Cub SS, mine already has, but the upgraded wing tips...😊 I think that in my next video I'll do a close up go around of my Cub's upgrades... Have a great Superbowl evening!...Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏽👍🏽🌵🇵🇷

[@aviatoralex9861]

That take off using the cart was pretty cool! Did you make that yourself? It worked great, probably much safer than hand-launching! Aviator Alex

[@ricardopr54]

Thank you very much for your comment Aviator Alex! 😊👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Sorry for the late response, for some reason I never received notification of your comment! 🤦🏾‍♂️... In response to your question, I bought that dolly car for my glider in an online hobby store. Google it and you'll find them!...I don't remember the website I bought it from, but it won't be difficult for you to find them... Using this dolly cars for your gliders is actually safer than hand launch them for sure! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Thanks again for your comment my friend!

[@DEeMONsworld]

can anyone confirm if this fox will actually do power off aerobatics as it is supposed to do? i have never seen one do anything but fly around under power or do a loop or two.

[@ricardopr54]

This bird could be really fast while flying power off, so yes, it is possible to perform power off aerobatics, although, I personally haven't try it yet. I like to go high up there and just soar in a relaxing way... Next time I take it to the airfield, I'll give your idea a try , record the flight on video, and will let you know how it went... Thanks for your comment! 👍🏽👍🏽 Have a great day!...👍🏽👍🏽Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏽👍🏽🌵🇵🇷

[@DEeMONsworld]

@@ricardopr54 Great, that would be interesting to see. I am thinking of one of these, but for me, the motor is only to get to altitude then do an aerobatic routine to the deck, then motor up and try again. Of course the motor extends the use of the plane for other purposes.

means maiden flight you fly to kilometers in height, , .....nearly cannot see the model and think this was a great video?
