XFLY Glastar V2 - It almost crashed!

Signal loss almost caused it to crash! Anyway I wanted to try this plane and compare to the V1 I had. I also put in an Avian 45A speedcontroller to have telemetry and reverse thrust. Floats would be fun on this one but sadly no option for that in stock configuration.
I fly mine with a 3s or 4s 2200mAh battery and Spektrum NX10
Wingspann: 1233mm
Lenght: 945mm
Weight: 1200grams

Your review sealed the deal for me. I mainly fly quadcopter fpv drones but I decided to give rc planes a try. Thanks for detailed and exciting video also. Glad you saved it!!🎉

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks for commenting! It is a very nice plane and I really dig it. One simple and great looking plane.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Nice job man! Cool plane...a bit of a tight place to fly, but a fun challenge. The reverse helped! I'm glad that signal loss only lasted a couple seconds!

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks Adam! It's easy to get lazy when you have lots of space so a tight place keeps you sharp. It is the environment because now I've had two more planes with a lot more frame losses than usual.

Nice build, flight and review. Xfly really makes a nice plane.. I didn't know about their FMS relationship.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks! I can only hope they make more planes because they are of high quality.

[@jayaustin3096]

Love the xfly planes. First time I've ever seen anybody actually needing reverse thrust. But it worked that time. Thanks, I haven't flown mine yet. Bad weather.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

I think you'll like it very much!

[@SlowFlyer85]

Nice job you saved the plane I would only try too fly my umx planes in that size area you are a great flyer 👍👍😅😃

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks man!

[@Didjeridoolove]

Ok ok…..that was a really nice save and flight👍👍👍👍👍👍👍……

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks! I'll get back to this one and hopefully no interference.

[@Didjeridoolove]

@@SunriseRCAviator yes!!

I have a DX9 that I used daily for years. I bought an Ultimate 3D and started experiencing a hold every other flight. Sent my controller into HH for service and they couldn’t find any issues. They sent me a replacement AR637T for the U3D, still had issues, although not as frequent. On a whim, I bought a Radiomaster Zorro and bound it to the U3D. I have yet to experience a hold with that radio. Later I bound it to a TX16s and haven’t had as many flights on it yet, but haven’t experienced a hold either. Since the U3D, there’s been a couple other AR630’s that I’ve had random issues with on the DX9. Sadly, now I only use it on planes that I fly close in with, like the Eratix.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

I have also had a few issues with AR630 and this time it was an AR631.

[@Holliethedog]

Skilled flying! I'm thinking of getting one- but are the struts functional? I'd like not to have to bother with them.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks! I think in general all struts adds to the rigidness and I feel more confident having them.

[@zeno6111753]

Nice! Where did you buy yours?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks! I think Hobbex have them but I got mine from Germany.

[@paultatar]

Is the reverse thrust with the standard speed controller or you have already replaced it with the Avian one ?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

It's with the Avian. As far as I know the stock ESC don't do reverse.

[@paultatar]

@@SunriseRCAviator I was thinking the same. Cheers

Curious to see what happens if you fly there again. The school I fly at has a server room which is 2.4ghz if you fly anywhere near it you will failsafe consistently.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

I have done like 100 flights before on this location without signal issues but the construction is new so I suspect this is the cause. I had another plane that after looking at the footage it had a very short signal loss also.
