Fantastic job Ali, Matt and Pete!! 👍

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Good times! These are great

[@camomaster6316]

Damn! Ali is one hell of a pilot! Coming out of that dive coming that close to the ground i would've ate it for sure! Oh and let me just casually take a hand off my remote to talk while im flying at 150mph lol. Thats skill. Well done!!!

[@ollination]

Just picked mine up yesterday can’t wait to put it together and get the maiden in!

[@changeagent228]

This would be freaking awesome with a DJI HD-FPV system in it.

[@lw216316]

HELP - Just got the v1200 - can not get the switch set up to control the SAFE on/off. If I bind with SAFE it stays in SAFE. If I bind without SAFE it binds okay, with no SAFE available of course. I set the AUX1 CHANNEL to F - my desired switch and when I did the sticks down and in then cycle switch F 5 times I got a twitch from the plane and thought the switch had been accepted and available but it is not working - it just stays in SAFE.

[@camomaster6316]

V 1200 looks awesome, ordred one release day. But plz bring back the f27 with upgraded power system! That plane was a blast and a easy flyer!

[@DJ_SHANNIMAL]

F27 with super reinforcement and super power. Hell yeah!!!

[@workonesabs]

All ok talking about Eflite models, but in the UK, still waiting for last year's models to arrive in the UK, let alone new models listed here. I've wanted 2 Eflite models since last year, and still no stock in any UK Model shop. So this video only applies to US only...

[@jeptj5442]

CAN"T wait till mine gets here My v900 fastest foam at my club can"t wait till they see this Puppy

[@robertbanning8873]

Same

[@ironmover5800]

Awesome job , great plane ,

[@jacklets3851]

I'm going to be ordering this plane soon. Do you guys have a speed record of the stock plane doing a full dive? I wanna know how fast this thing will be going since I don't have a speed gun.

[@Truthstillmatters2]

I hear these retracts are awful on grass. Is that correct?

[@swivilposter8945]

How long were you flying for on 1 battery?

[@airhammer6203]

175! Can't wait!! Is the video out yet??🤣

[@jjs3287]

Great video! Well done!

[@FourthWayRanch]

they''re models are great, I got a big timber turbo and the tail was warped at the fuse making it all out of alignment with the wings..... but it still flew!

[@richr909]

How do the props not break on landing without landing gear?

[@richr909]

Nevermind I saw it has retracts lol

[@BlvlWmpower]

Damn, I was hoping to see multiple planes and racers at once doing close quarters yank and bank. This is an awesome design, but it is hard to grasp the fun of pylon racing without seeing those images of multiple planes.

[@teamfutabaspeedfresh8339]

Mine just came yesterday I got it

[@stevendegiorgio3143]

I personnely had on problem hand launching my V900 and landing I just cut the throttle on downswing and glided in in for a smooth landing.The V1200 for me just costs too much and the required 4 cell batteries just cost too much.The V900 Is good enough for me.

[@Fuerslive]

Why did you discontinue the v900 in europe?

[@teamfutabaspeedfresh8339]

Hey guys I just flew my new V1200 I put 8 flights on it. I got it clocked at 154mph

[@rideroftheapocalypse1150]

Is the v900 or the v1200 better🤔

[@jeptj5442]

That depends on what you looking for the v900 is a hand toss belly lander its fast the v1200 has landing gear and flaps witch the 900 do not have v1200 is also larger and faster i love my v900 can't wait to get my v1200 in should be a blast

[@teamfutabaspeedfresh8339]

i preorder mines last friday. mine should be here soon. 158mph. not bad. but i called that 160mph. but somebody gonna break that speed record going at 185mph on a dive. almost 200mph. on stock set up. if you change props it will do it but the motor and speed controller will over heat. me ima over power mines

[@sundayfloater2926]

Landing has to be practiced with the V1200. I had more problems than with any Jet I own.

[@ricardopr54]

Why did you guys discontinued the financing through Affirm, and also disabled Easy Pay?... Not everyone can buy a plane that expensive cash!... Don't screw up your online store! I was going to buy this plane but when I saw that there was no easy way to get it, I lost interest on buying!... Please fix that problem ASAP!...

[@briancollins6543]

Have to say the Havoc debacle really put me off Horizon Hobby/Eflite (as I know it did many others) however this project may just be redemption!!

[@Mgp-Rc]

So can those with a different TX fly this or is this only for Spektrum fanboys with deep pockets?

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Hey Now Y'alls Are Gettin It On! Almost As Fast As My Over 10 Year Old Horizon w/"e25 Motor" Twas Upgraded From Stock e15 Pogo L1-a1 w/80amp ESC, Aluinum Spinner w/CF Props, Etc! Grandaddy To The Shoestring & V-900... I Picked Her Up Early Last Year Used For Only $50 RTF In Near New Condition From A Guy That Got It New & Only Flew It A Few Times Since He Was Terrified Of It... LMAO

[@juangonzalez-cg3ic]

the capitals, jesus

[@jriley-tv1on]

V900 is so easy to handlaunch and land.

[@samuelapiazza47]

Blue? REALLY? smh.

[@natecougoule9468]

I’m glad you guys are doing better to really show the speed you guys definitely learned from the havoc good video guys. Definitely getting one of these

[@user-rv7yt3ct1b]

Good Job! Can't wait to get mine on ice... cool painting to fly with on a frozen lake in winter... 😎

[@porroco]

We need a fpv mount for that airplane

[@gavstreet8976]

Its about time on the the fly is back 🤩🤩🤩

[@alimachinchy7673]

Good to be back

[@gavstreet8976]

Ali Machinchy 😉

[@JRcmty]

Wow Eli Field is real!

[@brianhutson8447]

Go somewhere else, ordering from Horizon has been a nightmare. They held on to my order for two days before even processing it, and they use the absolute lowest form of shipping as their free option, which I am still waiting on my order and it's been almost 3 weeks. Horrible way to do business. My club will not be ordering from here again.

[@SiR2Dean]

No idea whats wrong with mine. 129mph from a steep dive in standard trim. My v900 is quicker... 5000mah 6s 100c Very disappointed 😞

[@meazy451]

In a video editor, you can track an object and keep it centered.

[@TDSgeek]

Let that man fly Always

[@SOBaseball]

Just for fun...if 4s hits around 100, could u technically run 3s as u get comfortable?

[@SOBaseball]

@@britishpersonfpv6794. Ok thanks. We recently lost my wife and I’m trying to bring my little girls into our hobby - I’m no good with dolls but want to be a bad arse dad

[@CalebT_RC]

What happened to the Freedom Fox Timber cause that looks like a fun one to fly

[@alimachinchy7673]

That one went away I am afraid. I didn't know when I did it but the owner had done a deal with another model company to re produce that scheme on an RC plane.

[@CalebT_RC]

Aw man, I was hoping to see it sometime, but it’s alright
