I wanted an EDF so bad, but I don't have access to a long runway for landing operations, which most jets require. This maybe the perfect plane for me, landing and take-offs like my 1.2m warbirds but with large EDF speed capabilities. Thanks for posting the vid!

Another great flight Rich love how you used the 4s pack. Super nice video Steve, Jeff in LA USA

I love how these style of planes slide through turns and in the air, it just looks cool. Most planes will quickly crab, n these will too, but they are so sleek they kinda slide (for lack of a better term), in a controlled manner (if u know what ur doing) n it looks cool. I love this thing, I've been eyeing it for a bit and wanna scoop one up before they are gone forever. They are on sale now, wwll pnp model anyway. $329. Even tho a few years ago a plane with receiver of this type would be at best, $299. Inflation is an absolute B****.

[@lw216316]

after landing - flaps up to settle the tail down ? I don't understand. Why would you not pin the tail to the ground with the elevator and leave the flaps down to help slow the plane down so it does not run off the runway ?

[@RCINFORMER]

Raising the flaps does pin the tail on the ground more quickly without making the plane want to fly again.

[@AndreyZzz]

the best plane I have ever seen. 👍👍💙

[@mdriyasatali]

Very nice very fast

[@winibaldcroux2000]

What do you mean...? "You only need a quarter throttle " Can it handle full throttle all the time? Will something start smoking when you fly it full throttle?

[@RCINFORMER]

I mean you can fly it at 1/4 throttle & fly it around at comfortable & normal speeds. At full throttle it like a ballistic missile or a runaway train:) 1/4 throttle is like normal flight, beyond that it's ALL EXCESS THRUST!

[@chrismitchell5260]

Wow that's awesome

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

This plane is so much fun to fly. A big load of crap that retracts have been on back order for nearly 3 months and have 6 to 8 weeks before being back in stock. Especially, considering mine is currently grounded with broken retract and it’s killing me because I love this plane.

[@todtalk3912]

No offense, but fly it on grass?? Throw it up in the air, n then when u land just make sure you come in easy, and dont give it any throttle and you will not break the prop, any throttle and you will def break the prop. Also, you can add reinforcement to the bottom if you so choose to fly it often to prevent it from getting nicked up and scuffed. Tape, simply enough, works. Can even do some sort of super thin moldable foam, for rc planes, and mold a little belly pan, basically, on it. Something like that. With these little planes stuff breaks all the time, esp if ur not always perfect with them, which who is.

[@Nothinglefttosay]

“Ludicrous speed” or “ridiculous speed”..? This should be illegal...✊😳🇦🇺

[@Mindcoach1on1]

What camera are you using to record this if I may ask

[@lw216316]

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.

[@chrisclark3150]

Hi....did you need a flap elevator mix? I know the manual says no, but I have a tough time believing it. Thanks!

[@MR57LV]

Glad to see it flies good on 4s. That more manageable cost wise for me because I’ll be buying the Smart batteries. Can I fly it in Safe Select also in the beginning? Do dual rates work in that mode or are they controlled in the safe envelope?

[@danielleahy5375]

I read in the manual. They suggest for landing drop the flaps just before landing on and then the wheels.all the time Maintaining the motor till touch down. Just saying. I read it in the manual

I purchase a brand new plane on the 4th of September, and I had to contact Horizon customer service for a lot of problems with it. I got a case number, and I sent a bill of purchase copies, along with description, and photos of all the problems. But since, absolutely no news ????? I purchase a plane that is sitting on my table, never made any flight so far ! So what is your experience with support ? Thank you,

[@RCINFORMER]

Have not heard anything about the gear but like all models, you need to land at the right speed etc otherwise you risk breaking the gear. Another thing to think about is the location you are flying, if it is extremely bumpy grass for example it’s probably not the best place to try and land with the gear:)

(b) The altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than 400 feet above ground level, unless the small unmanned aircraft: (1) Is flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure; and (2) Does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure's immediate uppermost limit. (c) The minimum flight visibility, as observed from the location of the control station must be no less than 3 statute miles. For purposes of this section, flight visibility means the average slant distance from the control station at which prominent unlighted objects may be seen and identified by day and prominent lighted objects may be seen and identified by night. (d) The minimum distance of the small unmanned aircraft from clouds must be no less than: (1) 500 feet below the cloud; and (2) 2,000 feet horizontally from the cloud.

[@meazy451]

Get good.

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

One thing that does make it easy to land just like the V900 is that the elevator throw is not high and with flaps you can land this deadsticking it. But your touchdown has to be good to perfect to not bend the struts or knock the screws, that secure the strut to the retract motor loose, which is probably the biggest con about this plane. In terms of maintenance for me, there is not one thing I have to perform more than removing the gear to either bend it back into position, or tighten the motor screws holding the gear in.

[@offswitch1]

Landing gear is extremely weak. Grass will ruin it even with good landings
