This might be THE BEST beginner RC Airplane - E-Flite Habu STS 70mm

[@ebikes2xs159]

I have a boat and a truck always thought I would crash a plane, but you have given me confidence to get this one. I also didn't want a beginner looking plane even if that's what I should start out with. I'm really drawn to the jet. I like everything about them. It's one I could stay with for a longtime. My experience with RC has been the faster and more powerful it is the less fun it is.

[@chedder72]

I feel the exact opposite way with my boat and trucks/cars. Faster is always better! That said, this looks like a great way for me to start flying. I know I'll have one soon.

[@mudpuddle8805]

Seeing a beginner fly that plane really sold me on that model. Amazing. Well done!

She did great, the fifth landing was clean!

Love the way Jay talked about the sticks. Learned a lot today. I am beginner I hope you can explain more about handling sticks.

I put a 6S Viper motor and fan in mine. It was a tight fit and the wings came off. It did a 100 miles an hour. Before she crashed. I flew at 5 or 6 times before the wings flew off.

The wing and tail are still fine. And the motor survived as well.

[@FarmerFpv]

I taught my daughter how to fly with the Habu STS. Well, honestly the plane did all the work. Now she is flying the Elite A-10 with ease. She now wants the FMS F16 next. I bet your Golden Retriever can fly the Habu STS, too. lol

[@Jacknoham]

does it come with battery? i have the SS white and yellow I got in a trade deal but I’m trying to sell it and get this one instead.

[@Kevin-x4p4y]

Best Video I've seen on this plane and even best way for a beginner. One of our RC club guys bought one and I plan to get him going on it. He currently flies the T-28 Trojan still in safe mode and now wants a jet :>)

[@Royshanger]

You can put a 5000 milliamp battery in those things, too. And they fly a little slower, but they fly well for like 6 minutes

[@daleolson1539]

Absolutely awesome! I've never wanted a jet more! Looks great in the air and flies like an angel!

[@stevep4131]

There are other makes to the mighty pricey Eflite.. I recommend "Arrows hobby Marlin" for a small basic beginner edf jet. It has rudder, ailerons, elevator, steerable nose wheel AND FLAPS. Marlin is a nice fast flier. And a nice slow flier with flaps. Fly with wheels, or take them off and fly hand launched. Really can't be bettered as a basic EDF trainer.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

I’ll check it out.. I like arrows after I tried my first plane by them. The F-15 twin 64mm. I have a 50mm on the way to try out now also!

[@stevep4131]

@@Jays_rcgarage The Arrows Marlin is a good trainer for bigger faster EDF jets. Maybe not so good as a basic first trainer - its a bit small and not that floaty.

[@stormtrooperstopmotions1837]

I just got my first plane yesterday and one of the biggest problems I have had with this plane is not enough spare propellers

[@cossiedrifter]

You can actually see how stable it is. I'll have to remember this plane so I can buy it some day. I currently do not own any rc planes.

[@ryanrekz7744]

I don't know if you have flown the FMS Futura before the 64mm version, but based on my experience seeing as I have never flown the Habu, I would say it's a super easy starter plane, and with a descent sized battery I can get very long flight times with it

[@jacktregellas4355]

A Jet that flies like a glider. Great intro for students and experience pilots that like to lawn chair low stress touch and goes.

[@referee494]

I learned a lot of flying with this plane and it suvived some crashes and still flies, now a few years later I fly an F16.

[@bobersonRC]

Habu is just a big glider, fly's ok with an edf, a little floaty. I build them with twin props sand they are a beast. people say why are you putting props on a jet? well first of all an EDF is NOT a jet, it's a heavy overpowered fan the weights a lot with the battery you have to use. anyways the habu is an excellent frame for learning and for FPV

[@TheSouper36]

That’s amazing! Total beginner jet 🛩️. Gives confidence to anyone. Nice video bro! 👍🏻

[@G35Jeesh]

Ngl after watching this, I think I am going to buy my first rc plane. Im so used to cars but this looks so fun ..... She made it look easy. Thanks fr for the video. Gonna have to sort through the many options of starter planes.

[@BottomGunProductions]

Good afternoon. Recently I bought one aeroscout S2 RTF with an included DXS. I would like to get one more plane (preferrable in BNF) but since I don t want to spend more than 300 euros I thought I could use the DXS for other planes. From what I know, binding it to other models would require programming and tuning, which is pretty complicated from my point of view. I talked to some HPI racing professionals about this and they told me that all rc planes from horizon (with 6-7 channels) should work just fine only by inserting the battery and turning on the TX. Ideally, I would get a Habu SS 50mm but I am worried I will mess up the controls between the models so a umx timber would be also perfect. Please tell me if that is possible without any out-of-the-box tuning. Thank you in advance.

Awesome video bro, my prime rc battery for some reason also has the green lights telemetry and I don't think its a smart battery, nevertheless it gives me the plane battery reading on the dxs transmitter, I didn't expect it to work, but it does which I found interesting, great plane the Habu probably one of the best alround planes there is does everything 👌🏼

[@nicklaubach6984]

When I'd your next swap meet and where is it???

[@JaxTellerRC]

Looks like a great plane. Shame it doesn’t have retracts. Hardest thing for beginners is getting your head around how the sticks are backwards when your flying back towards you. Safe mode on beginners planes is fantastic but it does lull you into a false sense of security. Planes are moving fast and things can go bad really quick when you flick it off safe mode. I reckon a true first timer beginner is better off to fly the mini beginner planes. They don’t impact so hard if you crash.

[@HeyDropthat]

sub'd so happy this showed up on my main page absolutely love the idea of buying this plane cheers, man

[@AdamOneTwo]

I feel like Carbon Cub S 2 is a better beginner plane IMO. I understand the argument on the propeller, but the landing gear on the Carbon Cub S 2 is stronger and if you stuff the nose of the cub, you're less likely to break it as it has a thicker build than the jet. Also, that DXS transmitter it comes with sucks for telemetry. I purchased a kit that came with it with the recommended battery and at full charge and turn on, it's immediately showing 1 solid one flash like yours does. It also chimes dead battery at what I could consider the last possible second because you really have the time it takes to land before you're critical if you rely on the chime. You shouldn't but it would be nice if it was an actual backup rather than whatever issue it is.

[@BashTillBroken]

At that point then argue for the aeroscout
