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

I never thought I would see the day where a RC Jet is the best flying airplane for a beginner to pick up and learn the hobby. But after flying this E-Flite Habu STS 70mm.. I was wrong!

I’m pausing the video at 9:00 minutes to commend you on how you instilled confidence in your girl and had total support for her….well done sir.

[@tonyyimbo]

Man this was wholesome . Jets are the most fun imo ! Glad to see a beginner one . Keep this style of content coming !

That not a jet

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

Won’t ask how you know about the impact durability 👀 😂

[@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.

[@user-iv7us4gp4l]

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 :>)

[@dylanmckinley2068]

Jay you are an expert pilot. I hope to pick this up soon

[@Royshanger]

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.

[@Royshanger]

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

[@Jake-li7ih]

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.

...OMG what a great and encouraging video you have made especially showing Cheyenne fly the Habu....some of the guys here at our field fly jets but with the speed they fly them...I never thought i would fly a jet but the Habu STS is my ticket to a jet thanks to you and your video.... thanks so much for your recommendation....

[@michaelhoward4402]

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 👌🏼

[@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.

What reciever does it come with because I got the pnp instead of the rtf since I'm going to use my dx9 instead of the one that comes with the rtf since I fly everything else with it but I have all the as3x and safe recievers for it; would a 637t be okay instead of the flight controller?

[@marcusburkhalter]

is it an rtf

[@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.

[@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
