A Rv-8 bush conversion would be neat to see!

[@Catofbaskerville]

I can just support that

@@TailHeavyProductions So....just huge wheels?

[@Catofbaskerville]

I think we need slats! Landing gear is very important!

There's some states that snow, it'd be cool to see some ski pad landing gears

BUSH RV-8 10E Mod? YES!! Go for it guys👍👍👍👍

[@cheeseballs9726]

Website is great, simple, and transparent. The website doesn’t hide any cost and is super easy to use. Almost reminds me of squid industries website but for RC.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thank you! That was our goal so it means a lot to hear it from a potential customer. 👍 Ben is one talented dude. -Zach

[@wildgoobsid5]

I basically fly Auras in all of my planes now. A total game changer especially for a senior like me who’s flying field is perpetually windy. I’m ordering an RV today..

[@3DFLYLOW]

I've had the mamba 10 on 4S for over 2 years now and it is one bad-ass airplane. Flex innovations make some of the best stuff ever.

[@EmilC2012]

So happy to see you guys finally dropped the website! Looking forward to see what's to come for you guys 🙂

[@cool5tuff]

Your production and narration are top notch. Congrats on the partnering! I loved my flexjet before it nose planted on a brown out.

[@scotthurley2910]

Bought it today from Tail Heavy. Cannot wait for the arrival. Shout out to THP for all the help!!!

[@Leemaw]

Great work guys!!!!.....and YES on your doing a Bush conversion of this outstanding bird...TY for posting... Lee

[@gfoster420]

Yes. Bush it up, please.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Check out our video titled, "RV-8 Bush Conversion - How Much Abuse Will It Take?"

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Congrats fellas! Proud of you. You have to get your hands on the big one...I put about 200 flights on my RV-8 60e before I sold it to a buddy (so I can still fly it..lol). GREAT flyer...everything you describe here, only even better because its bigger. Quique, Seth, and co make some great planes!

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thanks! 💙 I owned one back when I lived in Seattle and loved it. Great airframe. 😁👍 -Zach

[@andrewjensen10]

I’ve flown this plane before and they are on the nose, this plane flies amazing

[@didierneeferc]

Its because of your video I have bought one now! Can't wait to get it in my hands and fly it!!!! 😍

[@SteffenRC]

Great video guys.. That plane is on the must have lists.

[@johnw5734]

Love your videos. I totally enjoyed the Red Devil Squadron and I'm glad to see the spirit continues on.

[@nathanyoder4312]

Definitely do a bush conversion!!! I would absolutely love that!!

[@austinandtate]

Definitely gotta see that bush conversion!

[@austinandtate]

Great videos bro! Excited to see your channel hit 5K soon. Keep it up!

[@flyingsheep9759]

That plane looks awesome. I love the night flying but you are right, not many have tried flying in complete darkness and it a much different “feeling” of flying I guess you can say. Anyway , I’m new to your channel and loving the videos.

[@bowenbrown]

AWESOME I need one!

[@KB_RC]

Awesome!!! May have to get me one 😁

[@robgoffroad]

Wow... as a total noob with a Carbon Cub and wanting the RV-7, I saw your review of it and found this video... now I'm hooked on the RV-8! I like that it's suitable as a second plane.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Welcome to the hobby! Just replied to your email, too.

[@rsrguy]

Cool plane

[@nathanyoder5261]

I would love having y'all do an review on the big rv-8!!!! I been eyeing it!!

[@RubyS.1]

I'm convinced and you take Shop pay which is great. The FC alone is $120 and will work with crossfire on sbus and the plane uses quad battery packs which I have a bunch of.

[@agevan6735]

Awesome!

[@stallspeedrc7657]

Your channel has inspired me to fly “out of the box” and I’ve never enjoyed the hobby more. I fly in challenging areas testing my rc capability’s. I would love to see a video of nose wheel limitations with bush flying.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Right on! 💙 That's what it's all about. We'll have to look into it and maybe do a collab with our buddy BackCountry182 who regularly flies full scale off gravel bars with a nose gear. -Zach

[@stallspeedrc7657]

@@TailHeavyProductions I watch his channel as well! I’m a student pilot, I fly a piper archer III and always wondered what it’s limits are when flying in rugged areas. I love your channel and have been subscribed since the beginning! Great content keep up the great work!

[@paulgardner5588]

+1 on the bush conversion. I was thinking of getting a Fun Cub for the slow flight and versatility, but this looks pretty versatile too!

[@TailHeavyProductions]

The FunCub still out-slow-flies this plane and any other plane out there right now by far. The wing cube loading of this plane is nearly double of it. That being said, this plane out-flies the FunCub when it comes to 3D and aerobatic ability, by far. We did upload the bush conversion video already, be sure to check it out! 😁

[@paulgardner5588]

@@TailHeavyProductions I did see it after I made the comment. Great videos, and thanks for replying!

[@johnmueller5482]

Nice video

[@neilsaeroadventures1116]

I have the rc 7.1 by e flite, while not the same exact plane, it’s very similar and is a beautiful flying plane. It’s super stable and I’ve actually yet to stall it. I may spring for the rv8 if I get more room 😂

[@TailHeavyProductions]

While the E-Flite RV-7 is a great looker, in the air you'll quickly find it's much more limited in its abilities than the Flex RV-8. The RV-8 outflies it in all phases of flight, especially in 3D. -Zach

[@dontflyspirit6535]

Absolutely love how the reviews are honest... it earned you another subscriber! Also, would you guys recommend this as a first 3d plane, or for learning basic 3d on?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thank you! It definitely would make a great first 3D bird. -Zach

[@beratsbuilds]

Nice airplane with a spicy price tag 😅

[@wild_blueFPV7958]

bush conversion for sure. are you guys gonna do a vid on the cessna 170?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Potentially! 👍

[@davemcpherson3908]

Is the Aura 8 already set TO JUST PLUG IN, BIND AND FLY? Example - when you employ flaps, is the elevator already adjusted to half and then full flaps?

[@playfordfamily5269]

can you review the pa 18 1300 mm?

[@maybejoshh1907]

If only it wasnt $400, just added to the wishlist

[@crosswindjones]

Buy the eFlite commander instead.

[@TheLucas2696]

Have you flown the Yak 10E yet? I wasn't super impressed with the stock setup in the Aura, and ended up turning off all the built in mixes and turning the gyro gains down one notch in all flight modes, as well as getting rid of all the built in dual rates/expo so I could just set it up through my transmitter like normal. I definitely like it much better now, and it's a fantastic precision airplane, but not quite the 3D monster I was hoping for.

[@TailHeavyProductions]

We haven't, nope. Our personal preference with most of the aircraft from Flex Innovations is to set the gains to low on all flight modes as well as adjusting our rates and expos as well. The stock config files are a good starting point but there's nothing wrong with tweaking it until you like it. 👍

[@crosswindjones]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who thinks this flies like crap with the stock setup. I was going to rip out the Aura completely but maybe I will give it one more try with a more dramatic removal of stock settings. I wish I had bought the eFlite Commander I wouldn't have had to waste money on new 6s 1800 batteries either. I'm sure it will fly great once the Aura is out of the plane but still. Disappointing. Also, I emailed Flex and they did not respond.

The OG Fun Cub will forever be our favorite RC plane of all time. However, my current go-to 3D park flier is 100% the Flex Innovations RV-8 10e. Nothing beats it. 😁 -Zach

Is the RV-8 10E okay for beginners? I would love to support you guys!

[@TailHeavyProductions]

Thank you! Unfortunately, we really couldn't honestly suggest it to a beginner, but it would make a great 2nd or 3rd plane! -Zach

[@Drifter-cz3lj]

@@TailHeavyProductions thank you for the reply Zach! I will consider other rc planes until I get better.

[@superdutyspinner]

Is it going to be the new Funcub?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

The Fun Cub was designed exclusively for bush flying, whereas the RV-8 10e was not, so it wouldn't replace a Fun Cub in that aspect. However, stay tuned for this week's video to see if the RV-8 10e proves itself as a bush plane (after a couple mods). 😁 -Zach

[@dandork20]

Is there an example of a plane doing a stall with a bad "bite"?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

A “bite” is just an informal reference to a wing dropping (asymmetric stall). 👍

How does this compare to the cap 232?

[@TailHeavyProductions]

The Cap 232 is a tried and true purpose built 3D bird. It’s also a larger airframe (not a 10 sized model). The RV is a jack of all trades whereas the Cap is meant purely for hucking. 😁👍 -Zach
