ST Model / Sheng Teng - Arcus M Powered Glider - Unboxing

ST Model - Arcus M Powered Glider - Unboxing
This package came with lots of damage, and I was nervous about how extensive it would be, so I had to get it opened right away.
Looks pretty awesome! Can't build it now, since it's late, but couldn't resist sharing.
P.S. Hobbyking sucks! Just wasted OVER an hour with CS trying to get them to ship parts they shorted me. They do nothing but lie, then lie some more. I can't tell if it's worth continuing my relationship with them.

There was inventory at "Verspaget Modelbouw Eindhoven" in the Netherlands. Now the model is heading to Japan. I will set up while watching your toutube. I am equipped with a 2-axis gyroscope with GPS as it is my first flight. But when I was young I flew in the sky with Soarer.

nice!

[@sdtimo]

Ted Tanzey in Las Vegas. Brian I would personally like to give you a shout out. You have spend so much time educating us and giving us countless tips. So much appreciated.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate all the support we've received here. Our KZbin experience has been 99% Awesome, and 1% Nasty...so we're counting it a victory :) Thanks for being a part of this wonderful experience!

[@kammelryder]

it's a good plane, the sequencer means the retracting prop doesn't need an extra channel or an extra mix. don't worry about the wings flexing when you fly her. they all do . just like the full sized aircraft it's a scale replica of. Fly it big standard unmodified exactly as speced on the box before you're tempted to modify it. You'll be pleasantly surprised how well it flies. happy thermal hunting!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I will take your advice! I can always make a controlled test for wing strength.

[@sandrocolasso]

hello this glider has no elevator?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It does have an elevator. I'm sorry if I said something to the contrary, or to lead you to believe to the contrary.

[@4funrc11]

It's a beauty! :) Fun, fun, fun! PS: Keep your eyes peeled for them pesky Park Rangers. Bad joke, sorry. I heard yesterday that the FAA has discontinued registration. I hope it's true. :O

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

YEAH, I heard, but good luck getting the FAA to take down the web page, OR EVEN MAKE MENTION of the fact that their new LAW is TOTALLY ILLEGAL, which is what guys like me have been saying since day one, while the AMA was sucking straight off the FAA's tit; DISGUSTING!!! I HATE THE AMA because of their totally WEAK position on the illegal drone registry (and many of their adult children who like to come onto my page and start ridiculous arguments over opinions...)

[@4funrc11]

Brian Phillips Yup, I'm 100% with you, the AMA sucks, as does the FAA! :(

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

4FunRC AMEN!

[@upperechelon3456]

Thanks Brian interesting video. Not a very impressive design imo. Wasted servo on a prop retract of questionable value. Why not just place a permanent rear prop mount on the bird. I want have ready access to thrust while in the air. Would love to see how it performs in the air-particularly the prop retract.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You will get to see her fly very soon! I had the same concerns about ready thrust...guess we'll have to wait and see

[@kammelryder]

Jason Jackson it gives a cleaner profile for when you're gliding.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I bet she'll make a cool sound when I fly right over head - can't wait!!!

[@shckltnebay]

Been looking at the Blaze, this looks too fragile imo

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You're NOT too far off, it is fragile, but the Chinese company calls that "Crash Proof" - LOL!!!

[@TheStickyBusiness]

That nose is crying for a big white led in the center. Read the warning in this description kzbin.info/www/bejne/eai7oqaHhbirndk

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I watched it. Yeah, I have another ST model, the cheap, crappy ASW28, which I'm trying to make work. My friend gave up on it, so I talked him into giving it to me in stead of throwing it away. I've already fixed several issues, not the least of which is the wing buffeting with not-too-fast flight speed.

[@upperechelon3456]

Brian Phillips Brian. I thought you liked the Asw28. Your video reviews and flights were outstanding.

[@TheStickyBusiness]

I think he talking about a Aws28 from ST Model the other one is a Volantex Asw28

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I just got this ASW 28 from my friend. It was a turd, but now that it's mine, I've spent the last few nights getting her fixed up. She's getting very nice, but loads of work. This "new to me" ASW 28 is made by ST Model (available at Tower Hobbies), but it's still a far cry from the Volantex ASW 28, which was also a "project plane", but a huge and awesome one!!! I will probably replace the ASW 28 at some point too, but I just got the plane from THIS video on Monday, so I'll be taking on that project after my adopted "crappy" ASW28. I'll post a video showcasing my "repairs and mods" after the fact, before a flight demo.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Jason Jackson Sorry, I realize now I replied to Multitoor Go in stead of you....either way, check out my reply. I understand your confusion...lots of new and used planes coming in this week...a good problem to have!!!
