Have you guys flown the aerobeez slick 540? I got it cheap and wanted to see if it was a good first plane

[@DetoursRC]

I think it does look cool with the red stabilizers. I do prefer the blacked out scale look though. I was obsessed with this plane as a kid I have to get one.

[@kentbarnes1955]

Thank you and Abby as always! If you recall...I'm a hardcore scale guy...but I don't mind the "red" tail fins. It DOES make it easier to see...and that's important for so many reasons, safety not the least. With regard to "scale" flight...that's pretty much impossible with this bird anyway as that would require you to essentially fly it SO high it would be out of sight. And no...I don't think the full scale ever "did a loop" (certainly not on purpose). If you want a good "aviation" laugh look up the video on YT titled "LA Speed Check". It's a hoot. Take care and my God bless you and yours always.

Wow guys, when I watched your 500K video, you were already at 505K. and now, 507K. So well deserved! Congratulations!

[@PhillyPyroKev]

Wow! That looks amazing with the red vertical stabilizers!!!!! It reminded me of the old GI Joe SR71 toy from when I was a kid!! Awesome!

[@PhillyPyroKev]

I would DEFINITELY have Abby print up a Cobra logo from GI Joe on her Cricut for that thing!! 😮

[@FarrellMcGovern]

As I have said before, the SR-71 Blackbird is arguably the most beautiful aircraft built to date. Great flight!

[@mangokane11]

Smooth flying Nate. Really nice! Abby! EVEN WHEN YOU LOSE IT. YOU HAVEN'T REALLY LOST IT! I cant say this enough.... YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. GREAT TEAM!

It would’ve been awesome if they put lights in the EDF fans

Dang I said that to late I didn't know you already said that.. 😂😂😂 sorry.

Agree a 100%

[@grrfy]

That looks a lovely model ,and the flying on those low passes past the tower was great.

[@mavinrichardson7625]

Thanks rc sailors! Your videos have been a huge help to me learning how to fly rc planes. Today I did my first rolls! 4 to the left 4 to the right .also did a loop! Thanks again!

[@1212354a]

I do not have a runway suitable for this plane, so I stick to bush planes with big wheels….roll the Timber obsession.

[@michaelmickoberhaus8009]

Hey Nate that was an awesome landing with the Mustang at the end of the video

[@boomjeep99]

I enjoy watching yalls videos .seems yall are honest about each rc good and bad points and yall crack me sometimes but thats why i watch lol

[@williambeckham2616]

I just love you guys🙂

[@philbudne2095]

Thanks for the loop!

[@Johnellenberger1]

SR-71 is one of my favorite Buck Rogers type jets ever! In real life, the SR-71 would leak like crazy on the runway because at its operational altitude the jets panels would actually shrink and seal up the fuel leaks. It also had to refuel immediately after takeoff because the jet could not take off with a full tank....I would love to see them come out with a U-2 as well!!!

[@thefamjaycrew3901]

Kinda early squad where you guys at and congrats 🍾🎈🎊🎉 again my friends on the 500k followers you deserve it and that is one sweet looking plane ✈️ too 😊😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

[@KGReef]

I really like this jet.

[@TheRcSaylors]

It’s solid for sure! And something a little different 👍😎⚓️

[@kevinwaterman389]

Maybe it’s just a modern day Red Tail with a Tuskegee Airman flying your SR-71 😉

[@craigsenior6190]

I have a good feel you're giving me a little scared when he was putting on those rear fins I personally think you need to do more breaking nature chops. Fun to do. I mean, it's fun to watch.😂😂😂

[@CrstnJdiKnight]

I like the red set stand😇 You could add a rudder on the front wheel, by custom fit with a piece of clear plastic... perhaps: 😅 Another great video on here. Thank you for your hard work on the channel 😄 🙏🎉🎊🤘

[@HamRadio200]

very nice. We're not much into RC any more. I really really enjoyed my gas turbine jet. Man it was really really fun.

[@TheRcSaylors]

The hobby would love to have you back!! Means a lot that you watched even though you’re not currently into RC 👍😎💯⚓️

[@thesoundsmith]

As long as you guys are having a great time, so are WE! I prefer camera or FPV drones or the various cars you crash for us (I briefly flew control line .049s, but even with RC it's still basically going 'round in circles) Despite that, this is a cool looking and sounding aircraft. I didn't know about EDF jets it's like flying a Tesla, thanks,...

[@csrcm]

Awesome flying!!!!!! Nate, you were saying you would like rudder control on that plane. I wonder if you could setup thrust differential being it has 2 motors or if that is even an option? Have a great day😀😀😀

[@jedbedrock2944]

Watching it in the air reminds me of the F-4 Phantom. It basically couldn't glide and its tail was so heavy that it needed a lot of thrust to keep it going. I noticed the tail was dragging on a few of the show passes, and seeing as the SR-71 was designed to move at super sonic speeds. The model needs quite a bit of speed to have a nice stable flight. And yes, I much prefer the red vertical stabilizers as well.

[@kts8806]

I like the look of the Red stabilizers and the plane has Red pin stripes so maybe a couple of Black pin stripes on the Red but all in all it looks good!!

[@ericrudy2504]

Cool plane. I live near Skunk Works and can drive over to see the real thing. Congrats on your 500k!

[@WiIdFx]

Black Tail art on the red ya.

[@robertv1273]

I think the red looks killer,kind of like the BAT PLANE.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Can't wait for the release date😊 of mine

[@roberthartmann782]

Nate and Abby they should put leds in the motor compartment area so at night it will look like it's flamming 🔥🚀🛫🛬 out the back at night 🌉

"Made you look". 😂🤣 Fun video. Cool jet 😎✌️

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Y'all need to put some black rcsaylors stickers on those red verts 😉 And maybe some lights for vis... And especially in the edfs ... That'd be aaaawesome lol

[@Nanoscape30]

It would be cool to have mini retracts I absolutely 💯 am in love with this plane, I mean it's is my favorite 😍 O.A.T

[@jballew2239]

I seem to remember a version of the YF-12/Oxcart that had bare metal and International Orange markings. Should not be hard to replicate for this bird, and would defintely help improve visibility.

[@SupremeRC]

Black is really the best color for sky and green back drops

[@jtkent28]

Would be really cool to see it fly without the gear.. see how fast it’ll really go. It’s a fantastic looking scale RC of an SR-71!

[@donkilgore6588]

Sure, the SR-71 could do a loop. They just roll inverted and maintain that while they fly all the way around the world. ‘;-)

[@TheRcSaylors]

Haha, now that is probably the best inside joke of the year!! 😂😂👍😎⚓️

[@BLKBRDSR71]

Behold the glory of... JETFIRE! 😂

[@MONTY-YTNOM]

As much as I love this plane. The colour puts me off. Mayde a strobe light to highlight it would help, oh and hows the cricket :)

[@genehagele171]

Hey Nate and Abey , I have following you guys since the begging. Love ya both. I have a awesome suggestion that you may be able to get to horizon. The shape of the SR reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica Viper. I think they could make a RC version that would fly. Dream come true and radically different

[@rc-fannl7364]

I think "I have following you guys since the begging" should have been "since the beginning", right? ;-)

[@Hangar500RC]

Hey guys does this have differential thrust or is it just bank and yank?

[@eugeneaustin]

another great review guy's i live in the UK and between you and Captain Drone i just enjoy watching and your good lady seem's to enjoy filming you even having a little leg pull keep them coming guy's.

[@stevennagley3407]

E-flight did a real well done job on this model…. They need to build a slightly larger scale… but non the less cool and awesome flying model but build a larger scale e flight!

[@boomjeep99]

That body shape looks like its doing 100@40mph

[@martinstorgard9590]

Hi Hanger. It might be a Spank & Bank. They are very touchy and hard to fly.

[@endah9692]

I just noticed ,,,,,, climbing fast like an SR-71 past half a million. 507,000. Subs. WOW 👌

[@stanbrewer6079]

Good ol black bird🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛. It's so long, & low profile it is hard to see except in side view, & even with red fins only on side view. Though that is from watching on video vs in person. Maybe they will come out with a more visible color. Abby got ya there Nate. Your reply [ para phrased ] you enjoyed life & can't break me down. So I've got a song you might know & I thought appra pro to your reply. So Google, Break my stride by Matthew Wilder. This is a song from my time so to speak. It could be your personal theme song. Great video as always & again congrats on 500+. ⚓️⚓️👍💚💛🧡👍🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛👍⚓️⚓️

[@crystalclearwindowcleaning3458]

This is a cool-looking plane. And it's smaller size makes it cheaper to buy and cheaper to buy batteries for.

[@IceMan2035]

Just needs to be 80mm

[@rc-fannl7364]

Same with camo-scheme on a micro Spitfire, fly in front of the trees and you easily lose it.

Hello Mr. Saylor. can you review the new dji air 3,I have one and it is epic.😊😁👍🇱🇷.that would be a great video!!

I like the new sr 71 just wish they used 64s, I just bought the fms f18 V2 70mm can u get one and review it for us?

[@skyforce1983]

How is Popeye doing?

[@wrsiii]

After watching your videos, I checked it out on HH's website and read the lone 3 star review. I realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that, but did the HH reviewer just have a bad experience? I've watched both of your videos and it seemed to be pretty well mannered and fairly fast. Could it have done with a slightly bigger EDF as the reviewer seems to suggest?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Sounds like the reviewer is simply upset that they didn’t make it larger, but I haven’t read that review. Hey, if it was bigger, it would cost more. I mean, I can be negative about the glass of water I drank today if you want me too. It is what it is, and from there you need to “review” it for just that. To give it 3 out of 5 stars because it isn’t larger just seems ridiculous. It flies well. It’s only downside is that it’s hard to see at certain distant angles, and we discuss that in our video. It also likes throttle. Don’t fly it half throttle, especially on banks approaching landings!! (Wing tip stall) so there ya go! If you accept those two negatives, I promise you’ll love owning and flying it!! Thanks for watching 👍💯😎❤️⚓️

[@spykezspykez7001]

Except a rudder? ;)

I can't be absolutely sure but I think NASA used red stabs on there SR-71s.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Really!? Wow okay! That’s awesome if they did! 👍😎⚓️

[@quadpop4643]

@@TheRcSaylors sorry I was wrong there's a big white stripe with NASA wrote in it on the vertical stabilizers but the red ones look really good to me anyway and easier for orientation.

[@scottsymonds1950]

just asking once again, what is a good radio to do air and heli? or maybe even ground?

[@spykezspykez7001]

I don’t think you can go wrong with a dx9. The newer lower end Spektrum seem ok (I have one) but they don’t seem to have the feel of being as solidly constructed as the older ones. New high end ones I have not tried. They cost more. Futaba is great but a lot less intuitive IMO. Most other radios (open tx etc) are more fiddly than Spektrum and for a beginner this could be overwhelming but still if you’re not daunted, explore them. But all in all, I cannot *not* recommend Spektrum for a beginner and especially for helis. They are generally easy to use, horizon BNF’s are a plenty... you get HH support. Just do it.

[@justinryan9417]

I've been using a Dx8e since 2020, it works great. Though I wish I had spent a little extra and gotten a Dx8. I would recommend an Nx8 for beginners, as it has more mixing options ,and forward programming.

[@scottsymonds1950]

@@justinryan9417 so i have a few radios, my last being JR 10x but of course obsolete now. just wondering what i can use for both heli and plane now.

[@justinryan9417]

@scottsymonds1950 Any Spektrum transmitter with enough channels will do both of those,and drones as well. I use my Dx8e for 16 different planes,and 4 different helis.
