Ridiculous Fun For $499 - Precision Aerobatics Addiction v3 LEDs

[@3DMOFO2020]

A very fantastic job Jon it's cool to see you having a ton of fun with these PA 3D planes👍👍😎😎👍👍

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks man! Good to hear from you again!

[@3DMOFO2020]

@@TwoBrosRC HAPPY HOILDAYS!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Very nice Jon! Well presented. I've flown a few of those, nice old school 3D planes...love the lights!

[@cliffdavis3247]

Couldn’t agree more - I’ve had the v2 and now a v3…just a blast to fly. I prefer the smaller version for ease of transport…the bigger addiction is a blast also

[@TwoBrosRC]

It is easy to transport, that's a huge positive for sure!

[@keithmckee1292]

Thanks for reviewing this one Jon! I have had my eye on this for some time. Great job on the review as well. Just makes my "next plane" decision that much harder. HaHa!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Happy to help Keith!

[@keithmckee1292]

Hey Jon, you mentioned in the takeoff section about a longer takeoff roll. Have you tried taking off with the ailerons configured as flaps. I have a twisted crack yak 55XL, and I put in about 15 degrees for takeoff. Punch the throttle and it lifts right into the air. Maybe try this next time you fly?@@TwoBrosRC

[@TwoBrosRC]

They do help a bit, but since it's full span flaps, it runs the risk of asymmetrical stalling. Not a huge issue but something to be aware of.

[@michelpetrus]

Great presentation and insights. Thanks. Addiction is the king of low and slow.

[@DS-ql3ou]

Love it. I am building this plane now. My only complaint so far is that the servo control arms have non adjustable Z bends on both ends. This requires a perfect control arm length and neutral control surface centering from the get go. I guess this is to save weight but to me it makes more sense to have some type of adjustable linkage.

[@TwoBrosRC]

It doesn't have to be perfect. We used sub-trim to get ours to line up. This plane can't use 150% rates if you're working with the CF servo arms that PA provides, so you've got at least 25 units of travel on both ends to work with for trim purposes. Adjustable linkages would be great though!

[@DS-ql3ou]

You are correct about not being able to use 150% travel. My left ailerons throw is around 50% up an down at 100% travel!

[@Acemechanicalservices]

It’s really simple and cheap to build your own, and make them better than most stock ones.

[@DS-ql3ou]

Agreed. Nice review. First one I’ve seen on this V3 version.

[@DS-ql3ou]

Sorry…had one other question. Did you solder the thin extension wire on the rudder and elevator servos or just use standard extension cables?

[@airhammer6203]

Cool flight demo Jon, great looking slow flying 3d plane.

[@itzjoeylo4501]

Whoa 😳 Amazing Aircraft, way out of my league though. Great 👍 Content Jon…!

[@ryanyoung54]

Jon what do you think of the PA addiction V2 vs V3 I have an opportunity to pick up a new V2, not sure if I should just get the V3 for a bit more?

[@TwoBrosRC]

No idea, never got a chance to fly the V2!

[@BrianTurner-ub2tu]

Awesome Demo Jon!! Nice showing it in multiple areas other than the flying field! How much Night flying did you do?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Just one day's worth since we had a tight schedule for getting this filmed. Thanks!

[@monchichis333]

I have the XL version, very floaty flyer and great 3d. Only problem I have with PA is that I hope one day they can do free shipping lol

[@TwoBrosRC]

No idea if that'll ever happen, but can't wait to continue flying their awesome planes!

[@Bill14886]

Awesome looking 3s 3D plane . Michael Wargo is the man when it comes to 3D flying . Off the hook precision. Although it’s a beautiful plane the price is definitely up there as most stick builds compared to foamies.

[@TwoBrosRC]

You get what you pay for though.

[@ScottBusby-pf3np]

Hi Jon, I know you know your way around servos so I think you can help me please.? I've just got a timber Evo but am running an elrs receiver, it wants to know what Hz to output on the servos, I've looked on spektrum site for the plane/replacement servos for information but it doesn't specify. What would you advise please? Oh and they are stock servos. Thanks v much 👍

[@TwoBrosRC]

22ms should be fine. Upgrade to tinyurl.com/B11DLS servos if you want 11ms.

[@reelemin7864]

Might need to pickup one of these.

[@Acemechanicalservices]

Good luck getting one. All their stuff is always out of stock.

[@PrecisionAerobaticss]

@@Acemechanicalservices more coming in November! But many other planes are in stock, including the Addiction XL!

[@jonestactical3268]

Been looking at this for a while. Can you let us know what went into finishing it?

[@TwoBrosRC]

It comes mostly assembled, you just have to epoxy control horns, build the control pushrods, epoxy the motor box, install the motor/ESC, install servos, and that's about it.

[@jonestactical3268]

You said you got the IPA Drive version, right? How are their servos? Good… pretty good… great?

[@jamesdory9960]

Look great, are you flying with gyro on? I copy all plane set up from you 😄 fly great

[@TwoBrosRC]

Yep, definitely using a gyro to help keep it stable.

[@scotteeshelman5714]

Their airplanes are very excellent, albeit made for a very specific type of flying. I have one of the old Katana MDs and I put a spring latch in my canopy that I got from an ill fated Freewing F 18!

[@TwoBrosRC]

We're taking another look at Addiction soon. The specific type of flying is 3D, for sure, but they'll do XA and pattern if that's more to your liking.

[@dbirds21]

Ive been looking at this model for a grab n go fun 3d model. I know they just released the new version of this model, did they address the issues with canopy and electronics layout.

[@TwoBrosRC]

What issues are you specifically referencing?

[@dbirds21]

@@TwoBrosRC the ones you mentioned in your video. caanopy falling off in flight can wipe out a plane and the lack of room for receiver.

[@TwoBrosRC]

The canopy can be modded with a servo arm and a screw - but is definitely still an issue. The receiver can be mounted under one of the trays. There's plenty of space if you look at it differently than usual.

[@edwardranno7119]

When I was a kid we didn’t have foamies ,only balsa wood and nitro motors ,they took months to build,these planes look so much more fun, also could only fly one frequency at a time😢😢😢

[@TwoBrosRC]

This is wood, not foam.

[@Netherboiii5443]

Bro how do you do thaaaat it’s so cool

[@Acemechanicalservices]

I thought PA were out of business, because this plane, as well as almost every thing else they make, is out of stock and has been forever.

[@TwoBrosRC]

They're definitely not out of business!

[@PrecisionAerobaticss]

yes, Addiciton sold out yesterday! new shipment arriving mid november!

[@Acemechanicalservices]

@@TwoBrosRC That’s good to know, I’ll keep an eye out for stock.
