[@bobeden5027]

A clear explanation of what the buttons do would be most helpful, hey?

Bom dia Passando pra prestigiar aquele super Like É show ✌️ ✌️ ✌️

[@smesui1799]

This aircraft is nice but sadly its electronics do not allow binding with other transmitters. It has a S-bus port too but, unfortunately, it's non-functional.

[@Wh10dec]

I wish u would do more Rc airplanes more than drones because your plane vids are 10/10

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I’ll try to post more in 2024

[@Wh10dec]

👍

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

I like the details

[@m.faizan4739]

Yearning for the drones for years, my passion for drones runs deep. Despite limited resources, I aspire to create compelling aerial content. Your generous giveaway would not only fulfill my dream but also contribute to a community of drone enthusiasts sharing the beauty of the skies.Please giveaway me dji mini 4 pro, I hope you will consider my request and will not disappoint me, A humble request, please!

[@DRONE-RIO]

Qual melhor drone da GPRC , qual deles vc indica ?

[@PutBCNPRU]

xk a300 with qidi body Which 560 flies better?

[@prasadtate6888]

Lovely video, couldn't stop smiling :)

[@peterinaia]

Infelizmente toda essa linha XK pra mim e ruim , tenho um helicóptero Xk 200, e ele só voa de costas, aliás agora nem voa mais , pois o rotor de cauda não funciona, apesar do motor estar bom , então minha avaliação dessa linha e ruim.

[@ColinRussianForce]

Seems a very tricky plane to fly, but a nice looking plane you won’t lose due to its Yellow banana appearance 😅👍👍😅

[@andrewsivertsen9538]

Great video,can someone tell me what these buttons do?i just got it,and having a tough time

[@TheGaffanon]

My favorite biplane. Thank you for the review

[@gunzoqc]

YES! It's lunch time and you just dropped a new plane video!!! Today is better than Friday 😁😁😁

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Always great information can't wait for next video

[@rwallace612]

Great video thanks ! I just got mine but I cannot figure out how to turn off the gyro/stabilization. Do you happen to know how to do so? Thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

As per my video, you turn it off by following the instruction booklet and using the correct switch position on the remote.

[@hubschenk1652]

👍 The Beech 17 is also known as the STAGGERWING and had retractable landing gear. An original still flies in Switzerland.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening captain really nice plane cool review

[@rainsquadfpv]

Wonder if you can mod a fpv cam in the coxpit

[@ElevationDronePro]

Video tutorials do not come any better than this amazing video! Nothing flashy and showy. Just clear and concise information. I cannot thank you enough! Keep up the great work!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Wow, thanks!

[@ElevationDronePro]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 grateful for and cannot thank you enough! I am new to this and just bought a dji 3 mini thanks to your expertise!

[@tughillrc6327]

Great review, not a bad plane for a RTF

[@cashus68]

1937 and real retracts !

[@smesui1799]

What size is the propeller ?

[@GROW_YT_VIEWS_151]

This video is like a virtual hug. Thanks for spreading love!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks for watching!

[@juki6377]

as is i find it a bit disappointing but modded out i would be curious to see how much of a change it would make

[@JaiKun-ts1ue]

I have a question regarding on how to assemble it with the servo connector, as you can see there are 3 holes there in the tail rudder and the aeleron, which hole should I choose to put the servo wire or steel to steer?

[@JaiKun-ts1ue]

Please reply to me 😭

[@garyyoung5912]

Yellow planes are great for my old eyes! I really like biplanes. Thanks for the review!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yellow is the best color for spotting planes in flight for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@jeffwoodard]

Steve. What happens if the plane goes out of range? flies till it crashes?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It would then do the same thing as every RC plane in the hobby… and that is, the motor stops and the plane comes down to the ground (hopefully in a nice glide path). You will rarely hear of this happening in the RC plane hobby because all RC plane pilots only fly as far as they can see and the smaller the size of the plane, the less you see at a distance, so you never fly far away.

[@Spragzsh]

Wow, it looks like you’re using the XK 6 channel transmitter. The one that comes in the box is awful ( scary to use). Appears the XK 6 trans. really makes it more enjoyable to fly . Nice flight .

[@julianmclean3869]

Ok Captain (and Jedi Steve!!!); I am going to be blunt here!; only have one comment to make, well done to the two Pilots on the Beechcraft D17s who endured, at times, some pretty scary flight time !!!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes they were frozen solid with fear

[@julianmclean3869]

Ha Ha!@@CAPTAINDRONE798

[@TititititititititiT]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 maybe they feel same cauz they're monozygotic twins.

[@lynsmith1096]

Another neat RS plane and review Steve.

[@eugeneaustin]

Rearly enjoyed that Steve mostly when panic comes in, the Beechcraft look's good fly's well sort of if you have the right pilot,🤣🤣🤣luved Captain.

[@RC-Flight]

RC stands for radio control. A remote is what you use to turn your TV on and off. 🙂🇨🇦

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It depends how old you are and how long you have been in the RC Hobby, and I'me guessing you are as old as me or older. I've been in the hobby since 2013 and when I began we said RADIO CONTROL when we referred to items in the RC Hobby. We also called the item in our hands a RADIO or TRANSMITTER. Then DJI came along and used the word REMOTE. Then people starting calling the RC hobby the REMOTE CONTROLLED hobby. Since I do everything in the RC hobby and my audience is both YOUNG and OLD, I use all terms interchangeably. I bet, since you are of the OLD generation (as I am) that you still think a DRONE is something with 4 motors that takes off vertically right? Well as of 2020 in most countries a DRONE is anything remotely controlled and is unmanned, so an RC Plane, RC Helicopter are both considered drones.

[@RC-Flight]

Yup I’m old, well not really 61 LOL. Been flying Rc since 1982, before that free flight as a kid. Yes everything that is Radio controlled is a drone. I’m licensed to fly all types. I fly Fixed wing, glow engine, gasoline engine and even some electric. Glow engines are my go to favourite. Love the smell and the sound. I fly dji drones Phantom 3 and a spark, freestyle quads and electric heli. Don’t get me started on people calling glow engine Nitro lol.

[@davidpiper3652]

I have seen the real 'plane this is based on, it's in the museum at Duxford, England. Nice!

[@PutBCNPRU]

Is this boat as easy to play as the Volantex BF 109?

[@PutBCNPRU]

Please answer me.

[@MrRaymond1021]

Awesome looking airplane Steve. That yellow color looks great as well. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent video, and excellent flying. Thank you Captain Steve and Jedi Steve.

[@willrine8614]

Fun video ! 😃 Love The Staggerwing ! Thanks Cap !

[@nasrinasir2585]

I don't have a good experience with Wltoys rc plane models. Especially the P-51D.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I reviewed that one and it did great. I gave it to one of my friends and he still flies it.

[@nasrinasir2585]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 probably I got the bad one. Anyway I will try buying another model because the previous one got esc malfunctioning.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Don't seem to be able to find any review that you've done of the WLToys (ie XK) P-51 Steve. The only Mustangs that come up in a search are the FMS large version and the V761 Mini Warbirds P-51D v2. Got a link to the 1 you are talking about? @@CAPTAINDRONE798

[@Spragzsh]

OK, look at the face fur, looking good. Keep up the good content on your vids

[@comp328]

ali express has it for $99 with free shipping.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Don’t fall for scams! double check to make certain that price includes the full kit with batteries

[@sumner407]

Beautiful plane, entertaining video and good review. 👍👍😀

[@stussyhuff]

Looks, great fun..

[@matsfrisk3653]

👍

[@willay747]

Nice video as always! :), but the plane seems underpowered!? No thanks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I would not say it is underpowered... I would not say it is overpowered either. In manual mode it flew like your typical RC plane, but you would not break any speed records.

[@theNuclearNixons]

This looks like a great plane for the price, even with the 3 battery price range, it's doable. Thanks Captain "Santa" Drone 🎅👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Glad you like it!

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Decent price

[@henrytaaffe7058]

you are an awsome reviewer sir.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you kindly!

[@bulufish8208]

Doctor Drone is not joking about putting out reviews. Hahaha good 👍 job

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

WARNING!!! 1 small oversight that Steve has committed here! This plane looks like it is a full brother to the XK A280 P-51 - BUT it is not! Although there are the same sockets for S-bus and DSM satellites on the flight board in this, they ARE NOT activated as they are in the P-51. Nor is the stock protocol the same. The P-51 is available but the A300 is not yet hacked it seems. For up-to-date information on both planes check the RCGroups forums threads on both planes. There is plenty of information there on how to get the best out of these nice looking sub-250gm planes. We enjoy our XK A280s (not quite stock!) and are currently setting up our newly arrived A300s. Note that this information is for the units we have in hand - things can change quickly in the RC world! 😉😊

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

For me and Jedi Steve.... We don't take our RADIOMASTER TX16S and bind to these babies... we simply stick our own receiver in them, and plug the existing servos into the receiver (no hack required). Hacks are more for people who wish to use the built in gyro stability features.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Again 1 small oversight Steve - you COULD do that with the Aileron servos. BUT the Elevator and Rudder servos are integral to the flight boards on pretty well all these little Tinker-Toys. So a bit more work required. Buy the foam shell for the most economical changeover. 😉😊
