Thank you Jeff! Yes, these are for experienced pilots for sure, and considering they are the only 3 prototypes in country, the pilots did an amazing job! All the best!

As3x would dial them in right now. BADASS jets 😎

Thank you so much for checking in mate, glad you enjoyed it! Much more video to come with these jets! Cheers!

Thanks friend! This one is a bit raw, like you are at the field. Just wait until you see the other videos!

Indeed David, indeed!!

Right?! It actually looks really good like that!

Thanks for checking in my friend! Yes indeed, Jeremy Solt (the demo team leader) said they weren't afraid at all to demo these planes in front of the public, and literally show the various adjustments in "real time". These are in fact the only prototypes in the USA as of the time of this video. They are "Beta" test models and any changes made to production models will likely come from the very flights you are watching. Pretty humbling when you think about it, and yes brother, I think we captured a small piece of RC history...

Thanks for checking in Jeff and I agree on all accounts! Beautiful scale models and they handled a pretty stout wind for sure! All the best to you 🤠👍

Thanks Andy! I think this one caught lots of folks by surprise; wouldn't be shocked to hear that pre-orders are selling out! Cheers mate 😁👍🇬🇧🤙

HAH! Nice Chris!

Two have flown quite a bit together, one was new. Oh, BTW, the planes had only been in country less than a week. Maybe you should check the three other videos I posted of this model...

Thanks brother! You're going to see wing sweep and some basic aerobatics later on, that I can assure you 😉😁

For sure brother! It's a picture of where we are at with today's technology...

Thank you brother!

Thanks my friend!

Thanks Enzo! There is NO design flaw with the gear, just some things going on with the initialization which got rectified on subsequent flights. The gear worked flawlessly in the many flights after this one, almost all of which I captured and will be showing up in the next few days. This model is absolutely amazing! Cheers my friend!

@@JustwingitRC Thanks for the answer, John. Hope they land tomorrow for us, coz I can't wait till April! lol

@@enzok6414 Indeed Enzo! I think I heard sometime in the early summer; I have another video coming out soon where the lead demo pilot (Jeremy Solt) explains a lot of what's coming next with the project. Stay tuned!

Thanks Roy! It was so cool to be there for this...what a surprise for sure 🤠🤙

Awesome brother! She's a sweet ship for sure my friend!

Hey Adam, there was some wind (slightly cross-quarter) but it was very manageable. This first flight was kept tame on purpose, really meant to show the models all displayed at once. The gear was initialization issue, nothing wrong with it at all and they all functioned flawlessly from there on out. Just wait until you see Jeremy's solo flight! Yeehaw!

Correct my friend!

I didn't even know these models would be at AEF, so I was taken by surprise for sure! I was just happy to capture the moment, however amateurish it may appear. All the best to you!

Just a basic flight to demo so three ships at once. Regarding the gear, there was an initialization issue that might have been pilot related. It was rectified later on and all subsequent videos will show that. Thanks for checking in!

Thank you my friend!

Hah! For sure...

Check out the other videos of these planes on my channel...You'll see all of that!

I have no idea, but I suspect we'll know more as the release date approaches. These are beta test prototypes, so we should know soon enough about power options...

Thank you my friend 😁👍

EDF jets my friend...

They didn't use flaps - that didn't help shorten the landings.

This was really just a debut flight. In the video I just posted you'll see the wings sweep in flight! Thanks for checking in my friend!

These have variable sweep wings my friend, just check out the next few videos on the channel. You're gonna see the wings sweep for sure! All the best!

Hah! That would be super cool for sure!

Thank you my friend!

Thanks for checking in my friend! This AEF was EPIC, you should try to make it out next time!

@@JustwingitRC Andy a guy I know from Albuquerque was out there I didn't find out about it until that afternoon while you were filming. I'm kind of out of the loop on things like that.

@@SgtJamesRay Oh, that's cool. I hope you can make it in the future!

I have 3 other videos on my channel featuring these models. I'd suggest you check them out my friend...

We had an odd anomaly on the debut flight where the gear didn’t cycle on two of the 3 planes. The gear and wing sweep flying happened several times during the event. As a note we figured out the issue in later testing and have resolved the issue we found. The final production In final quality tests has V-2 gear retracts.

@@bananahobby Thanks so much for checking in and YES, in the other videos in the series I shot at the event, the gear cycled flawlessly and the wing sweep feature was very impressive! A fantastic and ground-breaking model!

These are real, honest questions. I can only say this: all companies can improve, and I think it's likely Banana Hobby has. Besides, you have to realize this model is made by Xfly. Xfly is to my understanding, basically the top 4 or 5 model designers and engineers that left FMS to start XFly. Banana Hobby is the exclusive distributor. Watch the next videos I have posted about this model, and in particular the video with Jeremy Solt explaining the various design features, and I think you're going to be impressed..

I've posted 4 videos of this jet so far on my KZfaq channel. I'd recommend you check out my other videos and I guarantee you'll see the gear and wings in action 😉👍

I know, pretty hard to believe!

Not sure, but in my walkaround video with Jeremy Solt he goes over the specs of wingspan, length, etc. I'm sure you could figure out the scale from there...

To each his own. Twin 70mm fans, swing wings, all the tech inside to make it all work. Not to mention all new molds, never been done before. Yeah, 700 is actually pretty fair. I suspect they will sell all their pre-orders...

@@JustwingitRC you're probably right. I just won't be buying one. They'd sell more and profit more at a lower price point. When you don't price-lock certain people out of a product, you'll sell way more products. Especially something that hasn't been done before. If it were another twin flanker, twin airliner, or model that has other options in different brands, the higher price point might be more profitable as long as there were more scale features than the competition. This is a plane that would sell exponentially more products in a lower price tier. That's just my opinion.

The camera man had a Woody!

Indeed sir, indeed...

Want greasers? Check out the other videos I have posted...I have two others up right now...

@@soltproductions Thanks Jeremy, that was a greaser for sure! Hey all, please be sure to check out Jeremy's videos as well!!

Ummm...you might want to check out the very next video I posted of this plane. In fact, I currently have 4 videos up on this plane. And yes, the gear retracts...

@Justwingit How very odd then, that 3 serious company pilots demonstrated the model so poorly.

@@tabdycollins You might do yourself a favour and check out the other videos I posted on my channel of this model...far from being demonstrated poorly...

Must be because of the six titanium screws holding my right shoulder together due to injuries sustained in combat. Sorry dude...

The reason was because we had an anomaly with the gear we hadn’t seen before. We landed, recycled power and flew a full on performance flight with all that you are questioning.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppZxmtKcxKzPmmg.html

Truth...

Umm...and the reason for this conclusion? I really hope you're just joking around..

Hah! Right?!

Then don't buy it...simple!

@@JustwingitRC Trust me,,, I won't

Thank you for the good words and for checking in! Glad you enjoyed this one my friend!
