I like the Bixler/Alex dynamic on camera. The friendship really comes through.

[@1compaqedr8]

Love the interior cockpit FPV camera view and the longstanding quad drone chase cam.

[@ulaB]

"Wind never translates well on the camera..." - cuts to Alex's hair to demonstrate "wind" while there is a freaking windsock in the background.

Horizon Hobby might as well be receiving my direct deposits. I can’t stop buying these awesome airplanes. Now I have to get this one!

[@HardysHQ]

I understand

[@lewismcgarry1349]

Same here.

[@Cappurnikus]

Your enthusiasm and love for the hobby is awesome. Thanks for another video!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks for the kind words my friend!!

[@smokefathersbbq]

It's great for marketing.

[@RayKit]

Just ordered mine! This can really tear through that envelope! Lovely plane great scale design and flies nice.

[@MilesOhToole]

I don't think I've ever commented on your channel but that was the best video you've done. Kudos!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks friend! We are glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!

[@jeromes5141]

Wow, I asked for this video about a week or 2 ago and you guys delivered. You have my subscription. My cirrus arrived but needs to be put together.

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Great flight! Thanks for the helpful information about the Cirrus 22T ! I saw that Josh’s hair did not blow up in the wind! Ha Ha Enjoyed that flight and commentary on the video!

[@sufyanrahimi2063]

yep, hk need to make one with reasonable price too..

[@gorace71]

Great to seeing you do reviews again josh. The channel has been missing this. Awesome plane. Fit and finish looks great

[@garrykennedy5484]

I'm sold. Going to my LHS tomorrow to get this one!!!! I'm a bad boy,, I just spent 500 bonz on the Giant Carbon Z SS orange cub to replace my V! Carbon Z blue cub. You guys are responsible for spending my money!!!!!!

[@bassemb]

Great flying Josh, love seeing you excited!

[@joshuamelvin]

Thanks guys. I revert back to a 10 year old every time I fly. :)

[@ridingdeep8530]

Gorgeous plane, I earned my Private license in a Cirrus SR-20. I'll have to check the Horizon site and see if they have a red version that would match our school's aircraft.

[@jamesrostie4784]

Wow Joshes skills as a pilot are still getting better...good job

[@N8AIRops]

Ever since your group came to MAPS Air Museum. I have enjoyed exciting flying with each video. Just wanted to wish you all the best with the future.

[@masterpthebear]

If you ever come on over to Duluth, MN to tour Cirrus, Spirit Lake Marina or Indian Point Campground will have a place for you to park your RV! Plus we have a lot of water for you to fly your Sea Ducks! And we even have a former Cirrus designer who now designs boats as Symphony Boat Company right here in our marina!

[@bruceyork5260]

Awesome flying dude.

[@jeremymcguire7069]

Wow. I wasn’t expecting the Lomcevak! That was neat.

[@mitchl6127]

Why so Cirrus?

Very nice flown.

That was awesome. Great flying!

Love this model!

[@Georgewrigley]

Awesome. Would love this. Cheers and great flying guys. :)

[@Adamc0607]

THATS HOW YOU FLY A PLANE!! aha Great vid I just picked up one of these planes and stoked to fly it. Been flying smaller ones

[@DavidRJones82]

Good video... I’d like to see some more of the older style challenges, though and balsa would be nice to cover. The newer content is fun to watch but I really miss learning from this channel.

[@FliteTest]

balsa coming soon! ;)

[@VerixLin]

My flight school uses SR-20 for flight training because of it's resistance to winds and it looks good too in those videos as RC planes

[@joshuawfinn]

Not a fan of the full scale one, but man, that looks soooo fun!

[@hobie1613]

The title should be more like What Can’t you do with a cirrus lol

[@rl2109]

THAT is a fine-looking craft! Me WANT! Thanks for the nice review! :))

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I did not expect this Cirrus to be able to whip like that. I wonder if the Cirrus I have already is as agile?

[@VoluntaryPlanet]

Diggin the music in this one guys, great video!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks Tad! ;)

[@garygilbert4689]

I have one and the only complaint I have is the servo for the rudder and front wheel is too weak. I replaced twice now and plan to upgrade with a better one.

[@rong4248]

You should name that maneuver the "Curly Shuffle"

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Looks like an awesome plane!

[@laminatd8063]

On the road to a million subscribers keep it up 👍

[@doch.8039]

Nice plane, nice flight!

[@indyjons321]

"To the tabs, please" If you understand this ^^^, You may own a Cirrus.

[@Kylejeepadventures]

Your video of it flying makes me want to buy one. At the same time i'm in the process of getting my private pilots license at KERI.

[@FliteTest]

good luck Kyle! ;)

[@brandendavis6369]

Been waiting on this for a while

[@DutchRC]

Agreed. This is a very nice looking plane :)

[@quincyzook1631]

Nice, steady flyer

[@godlyrc1214]

You guys should do a video were you fly in really windy weather and see who stays up flying the longest.

Nice plane

[@veedub2981]

👍Thats awesome I know which plane I wanna get next

[@FLYINGLIFERCREVIEWS]

Yes I've been waiting for this !

[@keegansponholz9260]

Things that you should not do with a full scale sr22t platinum: loops, rolls, snaps, lomchevaks, *knife edge spins* Love it.

[@beechcraft12]

Josh, high aspect is more stable like gliders, low aspect is more maneuverable like fighter jets. It can be squirley cause is a little foam plane at the mercy of the atmosphere and wind.

[@bad65dad]

That a nice flight

[@rong4248]

Great video! I have one and always flew scale. After seeing that I plan on throwing scale out the window. One other thing I really like are the lights. If they would sell just the light set I would get those for other planes.

[@chriscrawford1958]

Before watching the video, I’ve gotta ask? Does it have a parachute?

[@thecombat1233]

Can you fit a go pro in the cockpit???

[@johncarold]

Sweet plane

[@nielsvl9073]

Nice video!

[@I_am_archie]

Discovered Flite test a few days ago. As I've just become interested in rc flight. Subscribed and enjoy your videos. To use the safe flight features can one use a different brand if radio instead if the Spektrum?

[@FliteTest]

SAFE and AS3X with SAFE Select are Spektrum specific tech! There are other systems that can do bank limits, stabilization but they are usually not integrated into the receiver etc.

[@I_am_archie]

Thank you for responding. So what would you recommend for a first flyer that I'll still dig as I gain skills? I think I want a radio with 8 more channels for future planes, ect.

[@sandnessmj]

A Cirrus that doesn’t kill near as many geeks!

[@anantbhushan1747]

Nice... Alex’s hair as a flight sock

[@2bij3]

There was a real flight sock at 0.58 :-)

[@adamsnyder6624]

I will say I really appreciate the shorter intros

[@danielharman4437]

Adam Snyder I like the longer ones

[@antonherr5832]

You guys should do a giveaway with one of these beautiful planes!

Probably can't afford the model either to be honest...

[@sageseat5941]

Please please put a ballistic parachute on it. that would be so awesome.

[@AviationJeremy]

Fun fact: this is modeled on the new Gen 5 SR-22Ts

[@Swole_Gecko]

What camera do they have on the tail? Id love to get that view without having a tail heavy plane.

[@FliteTest]

We're using the 808 Keychain Camera HD for the tail and cockpit shots. Super lightweight!

[@Swole_Gecko]

FliteTest thanks!

[@cohenturner23]

Should I get the cirrus or the che r oker

[@jeremymaag4475]

You guys going to Joe Nall this year or are you going to be too busy with the new location?

[@krkfire-976]

I use to build the real thing. Nice they finally came out with a model.

[@ChrisPBacon1434]

I wanna make my own with flitetest foamboard, with the electronics from my sport cub s because the nose is held on either tape!

[@franknapolitano9144]

The nose gear- rudder servo should have been a metal gear servo because the stock servo strip s out easily on a hard landing. Also the two small screws that secure the Horizontal Stablizer are not enough...There is a lot of side to side buffering on that stablizer from the prop swash and air movement. The main wing tip plastic housing for the lights comes loose if you happen to tap the wing tips on landing. The Cirrus flys very well but is not bult very well.

[@didierneeferc]

By the way would love to see some longer episodes

[@austinharnish7807]

I am asking for a new rc plane for my birthday In July, and I am considering the cirrus and the fly zone beaver, I want something that is built for scale but I could have fun with, and we also do a bunch of lake camping trips, and I go to my local airfield a lot, it’s also quite windy down where I live so what plane do you recommend

[@RAD-RC]

Hey guys, what’s up! Also nice flying Josh!

[@FliteTest]

Foam Test yo ry! ;)

[@MCsCreations]

Really nice, guys! 😂

[@ilaykeisar5157]

Is it a beginner plane??

[@TITCHY]

I cirrusly want this plane.

[@FliteTest]

ha I see what ya did there! ;)

[@organgrind]

Well done, somewhat of a return to form, further still to go.

[@RiteshSeth]

Nice video. Doesn't this look like the Horizon Hobby Archer?

[@yen1761]

awesome..always love your video

[@isaacsterenberg3449]

Josh's scale flying tip #1Always lomcevak the plane, because.

[@didierneeferc]

The Cirrus actually had to have a parachute to get certified to fly otherwise it wasnt safe enought thats why they have that parachute (if i am correct)

[@SamCAviation]

I believe that is a common misconception about Cirrus. One of the issues early on in the mid-90s with the Cirrus SR20 was the tendency for difficult recovery from a spin. With tweaks to the airfoil, this issue was eliminated, and now the SR series has one of the more stable wings in the high-performance GA market. They added a "cuffed leading edge," which is where the outside half of the wing has a protruding leading edge, essentially lowering the angle of attack in comparison to the inside of the wing. When the aircraft reaches its critical angle of attack, the inside of the wing will stall before the outside, and you will be able to maintain controlled flight and aileron effectiveness even when entering a stall. The parachute, I would imagine, is not unrelated to this issue entirely, but it is much more there as peace of mind for pilots and their passengers to know that in the vast majority of emergency situations, the parachute it a viable and possibly life-saving asset.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

FSaddict98 kinda like under cambered wing tips!

[@tinuscronje2546]

Flite Test, pleeaassee design a foam board speedbuild for us of this airplane ! A twin engine would be nice as well !
