You have the best videos.. I watch from beginning to end.. thx to the camera crew.. Love the Iowa view.. I’m just North of you.. 73

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome, Thank you! Glad you're here with us! Where "Just north of us?"

[@davem2659]

Camera crew killing It, video and audio 👌

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!!!

[@robertbraun7155]

"No 1300" Go Camera crew!!! Love you two and your videos! I laugh out loud, every damn time!! .. Love RC planes because of my dad.. I could possibly afford a few of these planes but its the transmitter that puts me out of the running.. I now live vicariously through you two and enjoy every second!!. And laugh a ton at the innuendos.. To tears at times.. Please don't go anywhere!!! Keep up what now is my favorite channel... 😊

[@Drones_Eye_View]

If the Tx is the issue, look at the Radiomaster Boxer. I love mine and it will easily work with this plane. I use it with my E-flite Cherokee 1.3m and it is fantastic. Will soon be using it with the T-28 Trojan 1.2m with retracts. The Boxer has 16 channels and is well under $200. A bit of programming but there is so much help out there for EdgeTx that it will be easy to setup a plane.

[@robertbraun7155]

@@Drones_Eye_View Nice!!! Thank you so much. I truly appreciate this!!!

[@FarmerFpv]

@@robertbraun7155 You don't have to buy a brand-name transmitter that all the pros are using. You can buy a cheap Flysky Transmitter or Radiolink and they will work perfectly fine. Matter of fact they have a better range than most of the main brand radios like Spektrum. I was flying with a 35-dollar Hobby King 6-channel radio for 5 years before I bought my Futaba. All the modern 2.4ghz radios work great, even the cheap ones. The Flysky FS-i6 ^-channel radio for 47 dollars works like a charm. 1000s of people use it with no issues. Taranis X9 Lite is another mid-range radio you can go wrong with. Radio Master TX12 is another great radio for under 100 dollars. The RadioMaster Boxer is another budget-friendly radio that Flite Test swear by and they use it in some of their videos.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Almost indistinguishable from a SR-22 st a distance.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

What up Jon?!?!? I know, that's what I thought too! Love the Cirrus SR-22 1.3m - both are amazing!

Hi Brian enjoy your video I'll be looking forward to seeing your next video. Hope you and camera crew had a big 4th

[@danflom1271]

I already have the RV-7 and after watching this it is a better plane. Thank you for demonstrating this.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes, and we always want to share these details. The RV7 is CRAZY, and the Cirrus SR22T is a better GA plane, if you ask me...BUT this one is smaller and cheaper, AND a different subject matter. ;)

[@mattcook5302]

I worked line service at 2 different airports for about 7 years and never knew Cessna had one of those. 6 years of that was in Wichita, the home of Cessna. I've seen a lot of singles engine GA aircraft but never one of these. Great video you two.

[@offylibertylover4868]

Cessna (Textron) bought this model formerly known as a Columbia 400.

[@fp-AvERY]

I dont know what it is but when you fly from tue bottom of the driveway it makes the runway look super long. Maybe its because your looking up hill. Great flying as always

[@looneytunes47]

Eflite SR22 Cirrus is a 1.5m Brian not 1.3 you probably confused it with the cherokee 1.3

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Yep. And the difference between 1.1m and a 1.5m is like comparing an actual dock to a dock made from nailed together pallets 😂 👍

[@Drones_Eye_View]

Yes, but the Cherokee 1.3m is a fantastic plane. Just flew mine tonight for the first time in a while as I've been away. Absolutely great plane.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

DANG IT!!!!! OOOOOOOPS! it is 1.5m bprc.me/Cherokee - 1.3m YES! bprc.me/CirrusSR22T - 1.5m - YOU WERE 100% RIGHT!!!!! Dang, I hate when I miss-speak like that - good catch!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

AL- that was brutal - LOL LOL LOL

[@AL-RCjunkie]

@@BrianPhillipsRC All meant in good fun 🤩 👍

[@looneytunes47]

i already know alot about that model cuz Hobbyking had released it years ago in lime green and white. Its very fast the flaps are very effective and dont ballon the plane at all so no elevator mixes needed. Its biggest Achiles Heel is the nose gear on fast landings on the grass it will bend back more and more and dig into the foam body. Solution put a good amount of epoxy just to the back side of the nose wheel strut slather it all over the underside to harden things up to prevent bending into the body of the plane. Thats a Super great flying plane and has a HUGE FLIGHT ENVELOPE....

[@gravityfuzz]

When homeslessness hits rural Iowa the everyone will take note. I live in California. It's like India now. Get ready USA. Cool plane.

[@jayaustin3096]

Ya western oregon is terrible with homeless drug addicts. Iowa doesn't have a clue

[@gravityfuzz]

@@jayaustin3096 drugs are part of the problem but almost everyone everywhere is on a drug of some kind. It's about $$$ not drugs. I see totally clean mothers and children without shelter now. I know this is an RC channel but here we are. Brian and Megan are compassionate people. I am from rural Illinois. I kinda get the vibe. When I watch their videos I miss my hometown.

[@FarmerFpv]

That is a nice-looking Cessna 400. Speaking of Tower Hobbies. I just flew my old Millennium Master from Tower Hobbies the other day. It's too bad they discontinued that plane as it is such a great flyer with lots of flight time. I'm always extra careful with it cause you can't get it no more. :(

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, seems like the "popular" thing to do...discontinue cool planes ;( - at least we have a steady stream of much improved models coming now ;)

[@FarmerFpv]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Very True. It is nice to see Tower Hobbies produce more planes. I used to order from their home catalog as a kid. I would get so excited when the new catalog would come out. lol. The Telemaster with an O.S .60 engine was my first plane. What was the famous Brians Phillips first plane?

[@DavidKing-planes1567]

Hello I’m standing by a buitifull 22T Cirrus N118EB at my work no I don’t think they flash on wing tips I do have the e flight red and white cirrus that does lol nice looking plane and good flying looks like another nice one Happy 4th

[@JonJones-vy9rp]

Apart from the colour and wheel covers that plane is exactly the same as a Park Zone Archer.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Looks like it flies more like the FMS 980mm p40- after replacing the ridiculous stock motor and esc combo with a 45amp avian and the 1.3m pa18 motor- than a 1.5m eflite SR22t 😊 Sweet DOCK!! Don't replace it! The pallets give it attitude and charisma (oh, and probably splinters) Love this video, Pham 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Attitude and Charisma - LOVE IT!!!! Link to tweezers - LOL - amzn.to/3RVbLIZ - for pulling out the splinters ;) LOL LOL LOL Cry Oh, by the way, I JUST paid for the dock we ordered from NY. It's gonna be 6'X8' panels, 4 of them, and it's gonna be nice!!!! I can't wait to share more about it ;) Then the "homeless camp" can go back to being a "temporary entry for another time" like when we make a huge slip and slide into the pond??? - OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yeah ;)

[@robertv1273]

Looks great.flys great.but it sounds like a flying cake mixer ha.

[@BZEILSTRA]

flashing lights are on real airplanes for safety from improved visibility . Its called wig-wag lighting. Hello Backcountry Pilots, I'm looking to install a wig-wag lighting system on my Maule. My M-4 has landing lights installed on the leading edge of both wings. Hate to say it but I have a friend with a Husky that has wig-wag lights that make him very visible. This is a great safety option. Even skud-running in the backcountry I'm obviously not the only airplane out there. Ever had a close call? Anyway I'm looking for an inexpensive option. Some of the experimental aircraft wig-wag systems can be installed with a field approval. I was wondering if anyone has installed a wig-wag lighting system on a Maule and could offer some advise.

[@samhatch4665]

Hey Brian, might be a dumb question, I’m new to RC planes…but why don’t the spectrum transmitters telemetry just have a plane battery percentage on the screen (like you do on your phone, or even how the transmitter has a battery icon and percentage of charge for the transmitter itself) instead of voltage you have to mentally work out based on the amount of cells, nominal voltage, etc? There must be a reason I’m missing, since a remaining battery percentage is the default is basically every other electronic device.

[@michaelfgorey1479]

Brian, I recently purchased a Hobbyzone Apprentice stol s 700 which I really like. This was before I knew about you, sorry. Anyway I would like to get this Cessna 400 but it doesnt come with transmitter. Is it possible to use the transmitter that came with the Apprentice stol to control the Cessna 400 or do i need a new transmitter transmitter?

EPO will glue with many different types of adhesives.
