XK - A300 - RTF Beechcraft D17S - Unbox, Build, & Maiden Flights

[@Cakey831]

Hope you’re doing good Brian. I can honestly say that you have taught me everything I know about flying. I found your channel about two years ago, and found the long form videos extremely helpful. I live over two hours away from the closest flying club, so I have had to teach myself everything. But with your help I can fly anything I want now. I’m 26 planes, four helicopters, and a few drones in now. Anyways keep up the awesome work buddy.

[@ekimnavillus4452]

One of my favorite in real life aircraft. The interior design is amazing. Wood paneling, crank windows. Fun to fly.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Lol! You're hilarious with that 4 grams nonsense!! I had a Park Ranger pull up while i was preflighting my FMS PA18 at my town rec football fields today. She stepped out of the patrol car and was really interested in seeing me fly. She was super cool about it and wasnt the 1st to be so. And i live REALLY close to DC (which is a total No Fly Zone). So its not that some of us wont care about the 4 grams. It's that NOBODY cares about the 250 grams. Lol However, it only stays that way if we're cool about how, where and when we fly. Now, that im a reasonably decent rc pilot, the only rule i adhere to is - don't be an a-hole. It seems to work like a charm. Fun video, guys! Great job Camera Crew 👍

I have this plane and the receiver that came with it bound to my Radio MasterTX16S. Most of XK's products use a flysky protocol. It's very aerobatic, but it does have a stall tendency if you attempt some stunts at slower speeds. It's really a beautiful plane in the sky and sitting on the tarmac.....

Beautiful plane! New to the hobby. Flying the mini p-51 and a couple Corsairs! Already pulled the trigger on one of these before I found this video!! If I like it as much as I think I am I'll definitely be hitting your link!! I've learned a lot from you and camera crew!! Much thanks! Great job from you both!!

[@hippywilliams4182]

Also thinking of adding a 750mm P-51 to my collection. Any opinions or suggestions since I'm a beginner? Usually fly intermediate but I will flip it to expert for a while LoL

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Save the money on the 750mm, and get a 1.2m - you will thank me later, but you'll have to take the plunge into "hobby grade" - you're already hooked, so just get on with it ;) If you like flying smaller planes, you NEED to see what it's like. Start with one of our "Beginner Planes" and then work your way up to that P-51 (or whatever warbird you want)... Beginner Planes, sorted by type... www.brianphillipsrc.com/beginnerplanes Warbirds, sorted by type... www.brianphillipsrc.com/warbirds In all seriousness, if you like what you've mentioned, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE a bigger plane. If cost, or flying site is an issue, or even RC rules - stay in the micro range to get stared, but get into something "hobby grade" - you will totally fall head over heals into the amazing experience! Here's some examples...

[@SteveGergetz]

Brian, THANK YOU. For a minute I got my hopes up about this plane but you proved crystal clearly what I was worried about: The XK A300 is exactly 100% as frustrating and disappointing as the XK A280 P51D Mustang. I looked in your videos and didn't see a review of the A280, but I owned one for a couple months and I HATED IT. And the reasons I hated it were PRECISELY the same things you're talking about with this one. The both look amazing. They both fly smoothly. They both have a reasonable amount of power. BUT...BUT...BUT... The A280 flew exactly as frustratingly as this one, and for exactly the same reasons. Stick inputs were like mild suggestions. Rolls were painfully slow. Yaw response was nearly non-existant. It was terribly frustrating because it HAD SOOOO MUCH potential, but it missed the mark by a MILE. From this video (again...THANK YOU BRIAN...) I now know crystal clearly that the new A300 is simply a re-packaged A280, and with 100% of the same strengths and weaknesses. I hated the A280, even after binding it to my TX16S and after making every tweak and trick and adjustment I could think of, that I finally had to sell it off and wash my hands of it. It was SO disconcerting! I had absolutely no confidence flying it, despite me being a fairly competent pilot (flying fixed wings since 2018), and that's no fun. I never had any confidence that I'd be able to save it from the inevitable "oops", and I want nothing to do with any plane like that. It made me ANXIOUS and therefore simply was not enjoyable. XK...GET IT TOGETHER, for Pete's sake!!

[@kevinspaeth5895]

THANK YOU so much for doing this video!! I am new and was getting a little worried when reading the manual, which is half in Chinese. Being this is my first plane also, I was getting a little worried about not having anyone to talk to about the building of the plane. Thank you for going through everything that you did, including the valuable information on the battery topic!

[@SnoMoJoe1]

This is a very cool looking plane. Now, I realize you are reviewing this as it is out of the box. I also think it is great that you are showing the deficiencies of it. It could be a nice flyer but it is let down by the bad electronics. I'm thinking toss the tx and rx. Install a Lemon gyro receiver and bind it to a Radio Master TX16S. Then this will be a nice plane.

[@thomasseeley8124]

I wish xk would stop doing this. They make some beautiful planes, but they all fly like crap because of the electronics. Exceptions being the beaver and a800

[@snauzze7007]

Can’t you use a dsmx receiver in the port they provide and use spectrum or Futuba ?

Thanks for the build section. I just bought this model and i haven't built it yet. I'm sure your explanation will help.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Hope you enjoy it! This plane is a beauty, but leaves me wanting on flight controls. I might need to try this one on my Jumper (OpenTX transmitter) so I can get out of the auto-leveling, and just leave the stabilizer on.

[@deanwest7623]

The real staggerwing does have retractable gear. My dad and uncle owned the last one built. And it was in a museum for a while and now it is in Kansas some where. The director of the tv show dynasty in the 80 bought it from my dad.

[@YoPhocFays]

You weren't kidding about the turning radius. I came in low during a turn, and it overshot waaay wide.... right into a tree. My turning approach was modest like all the other planes I fly. Even with the sticks jammed full aileron to the left and pulling up. I even jammed the rudder full to the left and it still went wide. Granted the wind contributed to the wide turn

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, and if it weren't for such restrictive controls, this plane would be AMAZING!

[@Killerplanes]

Hello Brian, great videos, I have learned a good deal by watching your channel, thank you, it helps a lot. I would like to see you build the Freewing F 14 Tomcat 80 mm EDF. I think it would be a good challenge and learning experience for those of us that like big jets...Happy holiday...

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I too would like to build that plane, and would LOVE to work with MotionRC, the distributors [protected] for North America (or at least the USA market). I've worked with Wess. He and I would love to work together, but his bosses don't want to do it. Pretty frustrating...we've had this question THOUSANDS of times. Might need to start another - annoy the heck out of them until they say "yes" campaign ;)

[@steelrainfpv3383]

The best thing that you could do for this particular airplane, is to ditch that horrible controller and get a Radiomaster tx16s with the 4 in 1 protocol module to operate the model. Also Brian and camera crew, please please please store those batteries in a metal ammo can and not on your counter. I know that it's a rarity but if one of those batteries light off, you could possibly catch your entire house on fire and lose everything.

[@russc3288]

As many new comers that join this site - two lessons should always be taught and taught first. Battery care where ALL batteries should be stored in a proper metal container preferably in the garage. And never install the propeller until the plane is fully assembled, tested and ready to fly. Anything less is giving out dangerous information and will sooner or later cause someone and their family a world of grief. Trust me.

[@jasona9393]

P.S. Well I've finally got mine working, but it's still a bit strange. It would be MUCH better with our own servos and radio gear in there. There's plenty of room in the fuselage for different servos and an RX. What I did: * Press all the buttons on the top of the transmitter so that they beep twice: The D/R and the two on the right, or you'll have no elevator. * Check the elevator still responds when you throttle up: Previously my elevator was responding when the motor was off but stopped responding as soon as you throttle up * Mine needed A TON OF LEAD ON THE NOSE! I stuck some lead weights on the underneath of the cowl as far forward as I could. It took two wheel balancing weights (from a motorbike) to finally calm it down: I think they're 5 grams each, so 10 grams of lead on the nose.l

[@wilfriedhaas4127]

no response when throttle-up? so does mine with the rudder!

It’s a nice little flyer… 👍🏻👍🏻😎

[@warmiceUT]

Nice review and video. A lot has comment on the controller board gyro and too sensitive issue. I love this plane and bought it too ;-) One sad point from these new series of XK planes are, the seems like not make have it multi-protocol 4-in-1 compatible, or at least the same implementation like previous model with add-on Rx via SBUS compatible Rx. So we can use a full hobby grade Tx like the RadioMaster Tx, which provide a much higher resolution on surface controls.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I totally agree, but this plane, as with others that don't fly as good as they could, it still have value and merit, but want you to be aware of this before having to buy it thinking it'll fly like the UMX Pitts or Waco - Which it should ;) bprc.me/Pitts bprc.me/Waco

[@rogerhartzell544]

I have an odd question Brian I purchased the XK DHC-2 A600 cub. I love it . but I know that buyplane flies like crap so after watching this video, is it plausible for me to take the receiver board out of the cub, which is actually in all of the K helicopters as well with the S-FHSS protocol and convert it to fly with it without actually having that plane to see what would your thoughts be on that any info you could recommend I would highly appreciate. Thank you, Brian.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's not a bad idea! That being said, if I were going to do RC "surgery" on this plane I'd be inclined to get an AS3X and SAFE equipped multi-purpose RX brick, and see how to make it work, BUT - I wouldn't do it. Here's why... I'm not in a position to do it now, and haven't given it any SERIOUS thought. This would take some pretty serious work, but I'm 100% certain a motivated, and tech savvy individual could do it. Wish I could help, but to me...these "toy" grade (this one is REALLY close to "Hobby Grade") airplanes - they're really kinda "pass or fail" to me. If I can make them fly good, I will LOVE them like their 2m counterparts, but if they fly like a toy grade plane, we do it to share it with people who aren't spending $600 on a plane than week ;) I want for all small planes to be as good as the UMX planes from Eflite, and XK is one of the only ones that get THIS close to what I would consider HOBBY GRADE - which just means, it will fly [very] good. Check this page (an excerpt from a Turbo Timber) and see if you think the Rx board might work? www.jdoqocy.com/click-9240406-15735260?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3D%2522EFLU8950Standardparts%2522%26relationType%3DStandardparts%26parentProduct%3DEFLU8950 ...then take note of it's SIZE and the included elevator and rudder servo..would that work? ...and would the PRICE be a disqualification for you? That's where I would start. Good luck!!!

[@flwoods1]

Damn the plane, a 10, the radio a 1

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

FOR SURE! The Tx isn't bad, it's the flight controller, I think - why the heck would they make such an AMAZING plane, only to trash it with a terrible flight controller??!?! Such a bummer. I wanted it, sooooo badly, to fly as good as it looks...and it kinda still does! But, that extra controllablility I, and most pilots, demand is just totally missing on the RTF ;(

[@iwheezyl3334]

I have a question about V 1200 gear issue. The gear won't go down when I flip the gear switch. I have brand new gear servos and I can't figure it out.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Check that your servo wires are all plugged in the correct DIRECTION...they can be crammed in backwards by accident, and I BET that's what's going on. If still no joy - try an XBC Battery Tester (or similar) and use the SERVO TESTER to see if they deploy using that method.

[@iwheezyl3334]

@BrianPhillipsRC the wires are all plugged in correctly and I tested the servos with the tester and still no luck😔

Sure is a good looking plane, but that weird warp in the upper wing would concern me for sure. Too bad no steerable tailwheel. It looks like the graphics are painted on, not cheap-dink crappy stickers? 58:47 What's that little green and white plane on the stand behind you? "I had gloves on that were perfectly fine, they were just thin" as you complain about your hands, and Megan makes a perfectly valid point...Once again Brian, proving women smarter than men. Don't argue with her. lolol! 100:40, proving my point! lol 103:09 Yeah, A drop of glue would probably be best. I can see those doo-dads falling out in flight.

Needless to say, he went back to the Radiomaster and make the comment that the gimbals on the $210 TX16S are far superior of those on the NX8. You can't beat them for the money.

[@jasona9393]

@Brian: The manual on this is really bad, but I think I've got to the bottom of it! There are actually some mistakes in the translation from Chinese to English! I too was puzzled by the D/R, Senior and 6G/3D buttons, so I scanned in the original Chinese (the manual is in Chinglish and Chinese) and translated it. Here's what I think the buttons do: D/R - Dual rates. Although it doesn't look like it on the ground if you flick back and forth between the two D/R modes, I think this does give you a bit more control surface movement and makes it more responsive Senior - Supposedly switches off the gyro completely 6G/3D - Switches from full stabilization to "aerobatic but still a bit of stabilization" mode! It'll let you loop it and it will roll, but rolls VERY slowly, you have to really wait it out and use a lot of sky. When I first tried it, it just wouldn't turn: It's as if the elevator didn't have enough authority. I actually increased the elevator movement by connecting the rod to the upper hole on the horn rather than the middle one! With D/R on though I'm happy with the turn rate though, it's controllable. I wonder if I should increase the amount of movement on the ailerons in the same way? Connect the rods to a different hole, I mean? What do you think? I hope this helps!
