I got mine with a avian 70amp esc with a 850kv and a rock hobbies 4blade prop and nose cone and she truly is one fantastic plane to fly🙌💪🙌💪

Great video and analysis! 👍🏼 You got super smooth landings which I thought would be like with the Viper 70mm (bouncy). But great flat approaches 👍🏼 thanks!

That was a sick touch and go Jon! Nice flying as always

I like how you now show your dual rates, flap settings and servo throws.

It’s a great airplane but not especially great off grass. The nose gear is weak and doesn’t tolerate touching down first or hot landings. I did improve mine by converting a main gear retract for this position. Take the main gear doors off or trim back. I did install the FMS Yak struts. Make no mistake I do love this airplane it just has a couple of issues.

I fly mine with 3300 4S packs. I did also modify the battery tray. I extended it forward. That allowed me to use the battery to adjust CG and I was able to eliminate all ballast weight. I added a pitot tube and airspeed module in the left wing. To balance I installed a weight pocket in the right wing.

I fly mine on 5s sometimes 6s with the FMS Voodoo 3948 900kv motor in with Hobbywing 120A esc. Got rid of the 5 prop and use either APC 11x10 or the more scale 4 blade with red tips and the P39 black spinner. Very quick and one of the rare 1.2m birds that can carry a very large lipo and handle it well. This and my Nanchang are my take out every trip prop planes.

It's definitely fun. A shame it's not interesting to the YT audience though, hence why it's not drawing a lot of views. Unfortunate given how good it is!

@Two Brothers Radio Control hope u get your hands on the fms Nanchang. Id say its a tad bit better and comes with LED so great on these late night flights

Super cool plane, doesn’t taxi the best in grass due to not having much weight over the nose. You can see why the real ones make such a good trainer into fast jets

Cool vid as always. I’m thinking about this one for a FPV bird

It may not be the most efficient way to do yard work. But, it damn sure looks like the most enjoyable way.

Those things are so wicked with turbine props. Just fun to fly even electric ones are fun to fly.

had mine for about 5 years and I fly off a very well manicured grass runway with cg set 95mm back from leading edge.( knife edge ok for me at this cg) Takes off half flaps, lands full flaps, fly it in. I have my 3000mah 4s 40c lipo set totally forward of cg to achieve book cg of 90 to 95mm so I feel the battery position shown in manual is not correct to achieve this. I replaced nose leg with oleo suspension leg. I installed FMS 3648 870 kv motor 58amp 850watt with the stock 5 blade prop. Fly mine in slightly nose down, touch of flare and it will land on 2 or 3 wheels. Out of interest you might try it with cg at 95mm and see how it will fly for you ?

I extended my battery tray forward another 2”. That eliminated the ballast I had to add to the nose. I fly with 4S 3300’s. I switched all the landing gear struts to the Yak 130 struts. Clipped off the ends of the main gear doors. They would catch on the grass and break. If I didn’t really like this airplane I wouldn’t be rebuilding it after an incident. I don’t fly it with gyros. It doesn’t need one. It is a stable performer.

Are you using the stock 40 amp ESC with a 4 S battery

@TwoBrosRC 7 ай бұрын

Yep.

@re3065 5 ай бұрын

Does this plane fly somewhat like a Pattern/F3A plane?

@TwoBrosRC 5 ай бұрын

No idea, we don't do that kind of flying or have any interest in it.

@re3065 5 ай бұрын

@@TwoBrosRC OK. But IMHO, SMOOTH, PRECISE flying IMAC and F3A maneuvers are just as challenging and rewarding as 3D - again IMHO...😉

@gisall8205 Жыл бұрын

Great video Jon. How would you compare this to the RV-7 with the same wingspan.

@TwoBrosRC Жыл бұрын

There's no way for us to compare it since we haven't flown an RV-7 in close to two years.

@indianapolisrcmodelersclub9430 9 ай бұрын

I have had this in the box since last summer and just putting it together now and also using an AR8360T. What is the CG where is flies the most stable?

@TwoBrosRC 9 ай бұрын

There's almost no place to put the battery except right over the straps, so a 2200 to 4400 should balance almost identically.

@b4_king048 Ай бұрын

where is your cg at cause I have to put my battery at the front to get the book cg, and even with that at full elevator mine will fall out of a hard loop.

@TwoBrosRC Ай бұрын

Balances right over the main wheels.
