Extreme Flight Yak 54 • Extra 260 • Skywing Edge 540 • PA XR-61 • Tron 7 • FMS Cub • AJ Acuity

We had out of town guest pilots for this hilariously fun day at the field. We flew just about everything including our best fixed wing planes, quads, and helicopters. If you like to watch RC planes, this video is for you.

Nice job guys. Thanks for braving the heat so we all have a nice video to watch. Great flying by all.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@FASTFREDDIE-R.C.]

Thanks Dave I hope you can make it back down for the January RCVR funfly again

[@michaelfargnoli3501]

Best RCVR intro yet. The coffee mug has my attention. Thanks for the content!

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks! We had a great time and enjoyed the company of little people.

[@FASTFREDDIE-R.C.]

Agreed

[@bigeclipse2513]

Cut, cut, cut! Haha too funny. Great to hear the kids getting involved

[@RCVideoReviews]

Yeah, that was pretty funny. Dave is our resident comedian and the kids were just lovely little people. Glad to have had the chance to fly with them that day.

[@davidpaker626]

That was a nice day at the field. Very nice people, we had fun. That's what it's all about.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Yes it was--despite the heat.

[@FASTFREDDIE-R.C.]

Awesome day 🎉

[@thomasallan8113]

I note that the Aquity is back in stock. A plane I will probably want some day.

[@RCVideoReviews]

They are good looking planes.

[@davidpaker626]

Hello, you should go for it, the plane is awesome. It flies beautiful. You will love it.🙂

[@moleisrich1]

Fun group. I fly alone always and I’m getting bored. Need to find some rc buddys.

[@RCVideoReviews]

It's the best when you enjoy the company of people around you.

[@FASTFREDDIE-R.C.]

Online is a great place to start for finding people in your area

[@4eyesfpv84]

Same here, looks like a good time to be had. Maybe I'll make it down there someday 👍

[@RCVideoReviews]

Quite the trip, but you're welcome to come.

[@slange455]

Need a 60” added my lake to the waitlist for the Extra 260

[@RCVideoReviews]

Take a look at the SW Laser 260. They have that one in PnP and the 67" is amazing.

[@PockoRC]

tip for the pop top, start rolling to the left, then add right rudder then down elevator at the same time as you apply elevator add a bit of right aileron so the right stick does a ( motion. if you enter with to much momentum they start looking like knife edge spins

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks for the tip. After watching the video, I did see that--gotta get the ailerons moving right. I'll keep working on it. I've done them a couple of times, now I have to get them consistent. Appreciate the tip.

[@PockoRC]

@RCVideoReviews I found the rolling to the left was easier for me as its going with the torque of the motor. but starting the roll really helps aswell

[@kevinblackwell9820]

5 over 5 audio here in Lodi CA. Fun weekend.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks Kevin. I had good audio too.

[@RubyS.1]

Is there a way i can use the matek pwm-c the adapter board that does current and all the other telemetry but have it output sbus or crsf to the a3s4? So i dont have to run a bunch of servo wires? (Just joined your patreon) Ruby S. Cheapskate level 😊

[@RCVideoReviews]

You can run the CRSF leads to the matek board and then to the A3S4 which now supports CRSF. So on your RX/TX pads, just solder a pair of leads on each. One Rx/Tx pair goes to Matek to give you the vbat/current telemetry. One Rx/Tx pair goes to A3S4 for control. Thanks for joining Patreon!

[@rcrotorfreak]

Hi john what radio were you using for that tron? Nice flying bird and quiet. :)

[@RCVideoReviews]

TX16s. Yes, the Tron is really nice.

[@slange455]

I don’t really see a need for a pattern plane when good 3d planes fly so well all around imo

[@RCVideoReviews]

Pattern planes are designed for precision. The long tail moments do contribute to accomplishing certain maneuvers cleanly but of course, we see pattern style flying in IMAC with 3D planes too. Pretty sure the F3A guys could offer a better rationale.

[@re3065]

Question(s) - Which is an EASIER build - the AJ Acuity 62" or Vanquish 48"? Also if I want to spend ADDITIONAL funds, which is an EASIER build - the AJ Acuity 2M or the Vanquish 2M? I ask these questions because I know you have or had the 48" Vanquish and I know Dave has the 2M Vanquish and the 62" Acuity.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Dave did the 62" Acuity. I did the 48" Vanquish. Dave bought the 2m Vanquish built. Dave has the 2m Acuity in the box. I think it would be tough to decide which is easier when it comes to one he built and one I built because we're different people with different opinions. On the big ones, maybe Dave will weigh in. What I would say, is that most ARFs come in various stages of completeness. i.e. Some have the control surfaces installed and covered, some don't. Some require cowl alignment and drilling, some are done for you. Some have keyed horizontal stabs which makes alignment somewhat trivial (as long as the jig was straight), some have no keys which means you have to measure and re-measure. Some have servo screw holes pre-drilled, some don't. Some of those issues make it "harder" some just make it "longer". I'd like to give you a straight answer, but I don't think I can. Instead what I would say is watch the videos, think about how they look, how they handle, consider your budget and availability, and make a choice. I'll conclude with: The Acuity and Vanquish in any wingspan is going to be an amazing plane in the sky. The build is a temporary process, the flying can go for years. Think long term about it.

[@re3065]

@@RCVideoReviews Thank you for your reply - I really appreciate it 🙏👍😊

[@FASTFREDDIE-R.C.]

The omp evo is actually the easiest out of all of them

[@davidpaker626]

Hello, that's a bit of a hard question to answer, but the easiest thing to do for you would be Download the manuals for each airplane and look them over and decide which one would be easier for you to build. As far as the flying, they are all fantastic. The 2 m acuity would probably be the best If you are going to compete, Jason Schumann Won the US national pattern championship A few years ago with the 2 m acuity. I hope this helps.🙂

[@re3065]

@@davidpaker626 Dave - Thank you. I did download the manuals and looked at them. I have purchased THREE Extreme Flight and Sky Wing PNP planes because I really am not into building. I also have the PNP FMS Olympus FOAM Pattern plane that after a fellow RC pattern flier adjusted the RATES ans EXPOS it flies FANTASTIC. I want to now try a BALSA pattern plane and it looks like, at the present moment, I will have to build either the Acuity or Vanquish or BOTH ARFs. Unfortunately I don't think a PNP BALSA pattern plane is going to be in the works anytime in the NEAR future 🤔😉

[@mrskyrydr]

Yup no audio

[@RCVideoReviews]

I had audio. Might have been a YT issue?

[@mark78063]

My grandson is 7. I am thinking of the fms cub for him someday. If you don't mind me asking. How old is Ethan?

[@RCVideoReviews]

I'm sorry, but it's not my place to divulge that information. I'm sure your grandson will do fine especially if you help him with a buddy box setup.
