Hilariously FUN - E-flite Slow Ultra Stick 1.2m

[@FlyTimeRC]

This is what the hobby is all about. Just having a blast and pushing the limits.

[@SnoMoJoe1]

Great video. The ultimate "Take it camping airplane". I chuckled as you said it is not a bush plane as you are flying it in and through bushes.

[@Caoinhim]

This is actually one of my favorite planes in my hangar. I fly it all the time. I love that if I get the "gotta fly" itch, I can grab the sus, walk 30 seconds from my home to the school field and just have a blast with it! It does just about anything and is probably the reason I've become a better pilot, I'm not afraid to try things with this plane. I'm going to give it a solid 10/10 and I'm not that generous with most planes. I have 11 planes and I can't think of another I would give that score to.

[@old_coastie]

Yippee!!!!! Tree Trimmer and Leaf Blower all in one. I LOVE this plane, And I REALLY Love the way you showed it off... HUGE Thumbs Up.... old_coastie

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Jon this is one of my favorite sport planes. The simplicity is the key. Nothing is easier to hover catch...love it! Great fun vid.

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's nearly indestructible (under reasonable expectations) and flies so damned good. It's hard to argue with.

[@gisall8205]

GREAT video Jon. Got one. Great Slow Fly Bush Plane. Did the Mod's you suggested plus reinforced the landing gear with light weight wires. The way the old Biplanes reinforce their wings together. Criss Crossing the wires. Minimal weight. Works like a charm.

[@wtfmimshag]

Came for the bush flying, stayed for the anxiety pep talk. Thanks dad!

[@rogerwells6229]

Thanks for all the reviews and flying tips. I'm just getting into the hobby, iI have a Aeroscout and a D-18 1.1m . Watching your channel will help me pick out my next plane. Good job!

[@charlesmyers9765]

Your next one should be this one. I'm new too. My dad, who has never flown a rc plane or a sim, bought one, built it, and flies it very well. Though he did learn a lesson about wind, range, and brown outs.😬 I myself, thought these had about a 2km range.....nope. Conservatively

[@leviathan351cleveland3]

That's alot of fun! I have a old Timber that's kinda like that.

[@joehabeeb3462]

I've set mine up for FPV moved all the electronic components to the top of the stick with the camera hanging beneath On A head tracking gimbal Then replaced the tires With the X. flight tasman tires So far it's been the most fun FPV I've set up so far.

[@gisall8205]

Great video Jon. The way I justify buying any RC Airplane is to see if I can get ONE flight for every DOLLAR spent. I think i could easily get at least 400 flights on this airframe over the period if a few years. For entertainment prices, Really good Bang For the Buck in my mind. Compared that to what you'll spend on Dinner and a movie for two. Which will only give you a few hours of entertainment value. I got over 350 flights on the ERATIX, before I hit a light pole. So it was money well spent. Don't own this one yet, but most likely down the line.

[@forit3061]

Awesome stuff Jon, your flying is a blast to watch man 👊 :)

[@michelpetrus]

Looks like a lot of fun. Will consider it for sure.

[@bgblindt]

Great video totally agree this plane is awesome.

[@ToddRichmond]

Maidened this at a local park lined with 100' eucalyptus trees, and today out at the field in 10-15 knot gusty winds. This thing is a hoot. And as for price - $169 is ok for a UMX but $199 for this SUS isn't? I have two UMX planes and this SUS is orders of magnitude more capable and way more fun. I guess the UMX planes look cooler, but I don't fly them to look at them. Those who balk at the price are missing out...

[@propgear123]

Awesome stuff guys looks a great plane ❤❤❤i love flying close proximity it really brings ya skills up ❤❤❤

[@emersonb5764]

I love this plane and I have a lot. I agree, swap esc and battery pack locations. It’s super easy and with the pack at the CG location you can run any size pack you want and it won’t get nose heavy. I run 3s 2200 packs for 15 min flights and it’ll still slow way down with a little AOA. It’s great for FPV too, just strap your gear to the front wing mount and let er rip. I haven’t tried flaperons yet. But 200 bucks? I don’t think that’s a high price at all for this much enjoyment. If you want it cheaper sell the gyro receiver and put a regular receiver on it. I left the gyro on cus I like flying it in crazy wind and it helps with that.

[@charlesmyers9765]

This is an awesome plane for the money.

[@ssrattus]

Thanks!

[@MWall711]

This plane has been on my short list for a while.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Definitely get one, it's awesome!

[@coloradocj243]

I really want to get one of these!

[@ronnymiller7395]

All that crashing looks like how I fly all my planes. I wish I could order CA by the 55 gallon drum. I might need to get me one of these

[@edwardranno7119]

Fun smashing around plane🎉🎉🎉 R/C helicopters gave me anxiety! foamies are great to fly

[@SafetyThirdRC]

That's one trick stick. Cheers

[@3DMOFO2020]

I still have mine brand new in the box will get it ready to go sometime before the summer? Once I get to maiden my 3 newer 3d foam planes Jon👍👍😎😎👍👍

[@ArthurRC]

Awesome ugly plane 😅 loved it !!!! Nice skills bro 🫡🫶🏻

[@themadscientistg7804]

This really looks fun if you like ugly baby's and mother nature's obstacle course😂😂😂😂 great video Jon.

[@sirclarkmarz]

I slammed mine into the ground hard enough to bend the aluminum stick . The only other damage was a broken propeller I was pretty sure I destroyed the motor but it was just fine not a scratch on anything else

[@KevinHall-f7h]

yep did the same thing, flying again..

[@charlesmyers9765]

Which tires did you use? Brand and part # please......... Nevermind. Found it. THANKS!!

[@jordancalhoun5238]

I had a major failure out of the box with mine. The white plastic piece, which holds the tail aluminum body rod to the front, broke twice on me. I fixed it by inserting a carvon fiber square rod and re drilling the holes for the bolts to go through.

[@BullFrog96]

I had that same issue but the new version of that piece is much stronger. I believe the two issues HH has fixes for are the gear and that piece. The new one is black so if that joiner is black it’s much stronger than the original white piece but I had the same failure after 1 flight until I replaced that part with the new one.

[@jordancalhoun5238]

@BullFrog96 good to know! Mine was the white plastic piece. Glad to see they fixed it

[@RubyS.1]

"skill issue" story of my life

[@TwoBrosRC]

😭

[@Glitch08_rl]

We are still waiting for the Funcub vid😂

[@TwoBrosRC]

If it's anything like this one, it'll barely appeal to the channel's audience. Good thing we do what we think is fun rather than chasing algorithm performance!

[@charlesmyers9765]

Did the Batt/ESC swap, and the tires. Cant seem to get into the high alpha or hover yet.

[@TwoBrosRC]

You'll get there.

[@Bruc3the628]

Hey Jon ! Wondering what motor you use for your freewing f-15 !

[@TwoBrosRC]

That's a weird question to ask in a video about the Slow Ultra Stick, decidedly not a jet. We flew ours on the stock motor.

[@Bruc3the628]

@@TwoBrosRC lol i know i just figured new vid means a quicker response rather than commenting on a old vid, idk how that works sorry lol

[@bgblindt]

What is your setting for flaperons?

[@TwoBrosRC]

25% and 50%

[@spookytkid]

So, you replaced the landing gear or they now come with better gear? Or did u just mean the Timber wheels?

[@TwoBrosRC]

The gear struts are much stronger now, and we're using Timber wheels to make it flyable in less forgiving areas.

[@alexherrera3918]

Did you change the wheels only or the entire landing gear?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Just the wheels.

[@alexherrera3918]

@@TwoBrosRC tks!!

[@bl3rry]

Watched it at 2x so im the first to finish

[@redfishtom]

Looks like Purposeful crashing to me

[@TwoBrosRC]

Not really, but OK.

[@emersonb5764]

It’s a good price. Awesome plane. Get a few sets of landing gear and a few propellers to keep with you and you can beat it up all day. If you don’t wanna beat it up, learn to properly flare your landing and fly off a smooth runway without 6”+ tall grass and you won’t need any spare parts. And I’m not even a horizon fanboy. Screw those guys, I boycotted them for years due to horrible quality control and customer service. But finally I succumbed because they own pretty much all brands in the hobby now, so boycotting them now pretty much means no hobby. I decided not to deprive myself of fun toys any more when nobody else was joining me in the boycott so it wasn’t even helping anything.
