Beautiful. When I think of the hours of construction, ice engine tuning and all too often learner flight disasters with subsequent giving up, I can see what a boon this is for the novice like me.

Thank you for providing the view of a begginer plane. I really like the way you incorporate the video from the wing, showing the same manuvers you performed. Great job there. Keep up the content and promoting the RC hobby! Thank you - George

@EssentialRC Ай бұрын

Hey...thanks George. Appreciate the feedback. I always think showing some onboard movement is worthwhile...when the aeroplane can actually take the weight of the camera. Cheers - Dom (Essential RC)

It doesn't get much easier than this Dom for learning to fly

Yup. Proper little high wing aeroplane Cliff. Does everything but in a small package. Thanks for dropping by.

I have all three sizes of the Rangers but I haven't put the 1.2M one together yet. The 1.8M and 850 mm versions both fly great and are definitely ideal for trainers but they are also great for just nice easy relaxing flying for experienced fliers.

Great video. I got one of these a year or so ago so I could take my 'A' Certificate. I removed the stabiliser unit before the maiden and it still flew like it was on rails. I replaced the springy front leg and wheel for a stiffer solution (and bigger wheel), as our strip is a little rougher than yours, resulting in the small nose wheel digging in and causing a prop strike. Still - an excuse to get myself a new prop too! It's still one of my go-to models.

Good to hear ! Thanks 😊

Nice to see the model can handle grass runways really well.

@EssentialRC Ай бұрын

Because that nose wheel is so well thought out. Big boingy spring 😆

Awesome flight. I received mine last week but haven’t flown it yet due to weather

@EssentialRC Ай бұрын

You'll love it. The only fiddly bit is getting the elevator plug into the Reflex unit. Just take your time and do it carefully if using long nose pliers.

@@EssentialRC no I ended up putting an extension lead on it. Thanks for all the great information you provide. I’m a fairly new pilot so I get a lot of help watching your videos as there is no clubs or flying fields near me. I need to drive 4 and 1/2 hours to the nearest club

Easy to assemble, no building required. Not even an ARF.

Plus this new version can be carried compactly shame F.M.S. haven't included a lights option. I got the previous version it's now available R.T.F. for £185.00. With floats. Amazing price point. £100.00. Less than I payed in may of this year .

good video but camera man needs a gimbal, or a cam with stabilization

I don't understand why little polystyrene toys with gyros and safe modes are put out as the best rc trainers. What you want is a good balsa trainer like an old t180 with no gyro no safe no expo no duel rates and a good instructor. The best pilots are those that learnt without all these gadgets. What I see now is people who can't fly the plane..the plane flies them and with this goes flying safety.

@EssentialRC Ай бұрын

The gyro only does self-levelling if it is turned on. Folks who buy this will inevitably join a club and get instructed on how to fly without it. And this isn't made of polystyrene. All these aircraft have been made from high density EPO foam for decades.

@RC-Flight Ай бұрын

Totally agree with you. Been flying electrics for 25 years and glow for 40. I’ll take a nice glow powered balsa airplane over a foam electric any day. I’ve only flown an electric once this year and then I gave it away to a fellow club member. I have many many flights with my glow and petrol powered aircraft thou this year.

@Bareknuckleflying. Ай бұрын

@RC-Flight it's a difficult point to get across these days, I've had new fliers come to me for A tests and when I explain they can't use a gyro and they turn it off, all of a sudden they can't fly. I see guys flying around there heads or over the pits or car park.. It's ridiculous as a modelling community we've taken model flying much less serious from a safety perspective since the introduction of these toys. It's also taking away the creative side of the hobby and our British balsa company's are hanging on by a thread.

@paulwoolner5983 Ай бұрын

I so agree with you about taking away the creativity side,I convert rubber power to RC,and love the problem solving that comes with it

@RC-Flight Ай бұрын

@@paulwoolner5983 I buy older balsa planes that were converted to electric and then convert them back to glow power.

@stevep4131 Ай бұрын

Shame there is rarely any thought gone into making an RC plane "FPV friendly". Strange that interest levels in FPV'ing fixed wing scale planes is so low. A plane that can be flown from the ground AND from the air is twice as enjoyable.

@EssentialRC Ай бұрын

True for scale foamy models...but there are some excellent FPV planes out there. AtomRC Swordfish is still, for me, the best on the market, especially the RTH version with pre-installed iNav flight controller.
