Mad respect to pilots who LOS a fast rc plane. Very nice flying.

Well, you scared me. Having flown a wing wing z84 for a few weeks I bought the alpha strike. Yesterday morning it arrived....and then I watched this video. Built it yesterday afternoon and took it to the field expecting to crash on first flight. Only used 3s and god it is fast. Flew twice and it survived. I have aged a decade. Thanks for the tips. Andy in UK.

Love the camera crew! Thanks for the detailed explanations and for the great camera crew! :)

This one looks cool, I like the spacious room for the battery and receiver bays...

awesome job flying and your wife did a really good job filming that beast. Thanks for showing the crash

Always AWESOME thanks Brian for a Great Review and a Great Crash , you are the Best !

Well that went in an unfamiliar direction than normal. Fun to watch fly, crazy fast for the liking of my old slow reactions. I did enjoy the looks of the braking effects. I personally would want it on 3S. Unbelievable selling price for the quality involved. Totally adorable. Sorry to see the end result of the maiden flight. But it does happen. Another awesome video. Thank you both. Have a great weekend. God bless.

That thing is CRAZY fast! I could never fly that with my slow reaction times lol Dude, I’m sorry it crashed but the look on your face when Camera Crew panned back to you had me LMAO. Again sorry I laughed, but I’m glad you showed us all everything that can happen and didn’t edit it out, even the bad stuff. This is why you are my fav

Okay, i am glad your crash was a careless error not doing a preflight servo check...i have had planes with even worse damage and more pieces than that..some i glued back together and they looked great with some light body work and paint...and flew exactly the same...my foamy repair skills are pretty much top notch..after 10 years and over 100 repairs you really figure out the best methods...whats great about your crash is the wings were not damaged...easy to fix imo...

such a nice blue sky you have, I love the life you lead man!, nice plane and TX

HI BRIAN SIR THANKS FOR POSTING. THESE ZOOD PLANES ARE MAD LOOKING. VERY NOISY TYPICAL PUSHER PROP ALL LOUD .🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️. THANKYOU FOR FILMING CAMERA CREW 💐.

Thanks for sharing. In this hobby things happen. Equipment failure, pilot error, etc. Glad it didn't turn out worse. Still a cool plane.

Wow, that's nuts. Hey 105K subs, good for you guys.

Looks like the space shuttle from ground. very cool

Wow great job Brian and even better job Camera crew keeping with it for 90% of the time. I just can not imagine FPV! Drone FPV can get you woowsy but that is insane! Great channel !

Calmest crash I have ever seen, great job!

Wow that's sick Brian! On another note, I seen a pretty cool reasonably priced plane that would be cool plane for you to do a review of.. it's the Durafly Tundra v2 (pnf). Hobby King has it for $179, it seems like a awesome plane packed with cool features like reversing, big squshy tires, floats, towing, fpv attachment, etc for under $200 and haven't really seen many youtubers review it yet. Just a thought in case looking for a new plane to test and review. 🙃

It's cool how that plane comes with a built in siren when in flight!

Ahahhaha!! ZOHD Rule Their part of the RC World. I lost My ASW-28 last Sunday, rescue party never found it after multiple searches. Glad Your the RC Ace BP. Making Us Kooks out in the world understand in could happen to You too. Beauty BPRC, still a 33rd degree RC Dude to Me.

Very cool video! planes is a ripper.

Analog VTX at 1.3ghz, 4S 000mah Li-ion, TBS CRSF or ELRS, a nice cam, 7.4 folding prop, 50a esc, T-Motor F80 with a nice ground station and automatic antenna tracker and go fly some nice long range. Short range, swap out to DJI FPV air unit or TBS Unify 5.8ghz HV, 4S 3200mah lipo, F80 motor, 50a esc and 7x4 folding prop, and then slap either the FPV COMBAT or ZTAG unit in it and get a friend to do the same. That's how to enjoy this wing. 😃 That's just my opinion of course. Enjoy it the way you see fit. 😃

I think this is worth a revisit. It looks to be up there with the F27 maybe even faster. AR637T and maybe a different esc. I was scared just watching the flybys! Great work again!

Wow I'm getting one of them Brian i love the echo that was coming back. I've just got the right field to fly it 😎👌 That battery was fine no sells was broken pop it in the vice get it back to shape 😁🤣🤣🤣

Oh dude that thing is crazy fast 😁

So at maiden up only needed up elevator trim? Many guys add like 3mm plus up elevon one guy had his set at 7 mm...i think this has a lot to do with adding bigger battery and camera weight etc..i should be getting my pnp pretty soon...Great flying!

Hey Brian i looked in the manual but couldn’t find how to program the esc like you did. Where did you find it? Thank You.

Sorry about ur crazy crash , was wondering how your flight was gonna go- I got the zohd drift witch is a different plane but same company I struggled with getting mine to fly correctly and after serval crashes and bad ones too I finally got my stabilizer working right after destroying my fpv cam 😵 but Jez this one made me work for it ! I love the look of this one but I think I'm gonna pass - my drift is now flying pretty good just waiting for good weather to test out the new run cam I put in keep up the good work look forward to your videos

All pushers are much loader. OUCH!!! Yep, we all crash at times. Things just go wrong! We all don't get it on video tho. Good job Camera crew.

I love the camera crews answer when you asked her how she likes filming it. Ask her later too fast too noisy I wouldn't want to get hit with it

I might build one of these in the future, I'm more interested in a twin motor plane build at this point. Still awesome vid!

That's one fast model!

OK, so i got the ZOHD Alpha Strike, yours lasted two more flights than mine. Maiden flight it went into an uncontrollable up and down and flew out of site. I painted the top safety orange and that's the only way i could see it as far as i did. Who knows where it ended up. I have been flying RC planes and heli's for over 35 years and never had this happen. No more of these for me. I have an Extreme Flight Outlaw from 10 years ago. It is the ultimate speed rush! No stabilization and flies like on rails.

Hi Brian great video as usual. So did you ever figure out the gyro settings an what they do? I just ordered the same setup and would like to know before starting when it gets here. I have flown with the eagle tree 2d 3d stablizer before and it has 3d mode, off, and self level. 3d mode works great on delta wings for launch just angel the plane in the direction you want it to go and flip the switch and it will hold that attitude till you move the stick. Just want to know if the NX3 works the same. Thanks

Great video Brian. I'm probably going to get this one Next. Question. Is that Black Nose Cone made from the same type of material as the rest of the wing. I have a modified, scratch build, landing skid idea that I'm going to install. I have to land on cement or dirt roads.

Are you familiar with lemon rx/gyro combos...i wonder if it would make this plane easier to maiden and fly...i have one set up in another plane where i can switch on and off from gear switch and also turn dial on my dx8 to adjust gains higher or lower...thanks

is the elevon/ elevator should straight to the lines or we should trim / adjust 2 degrees up/ Lift?

Crazy insanely fast bird.

So fast! The noise is kinda cool.

Camera crew does a great job!

Waiting to maiden mine. Really like the way you launch it. I usually use a side toss on similar planes, where you hold the plane by the wingtip with the plane on it's side. The torque levels it out, rather then starting level and then going on it's side. AND gets the prop away from your hand. Side note-please don't take a damaged battery into your home, even for a moment! I was waiting for that thing to blow... Thanks for the great videos. What camera are you using? The quality and focus holding are awesome.

Good video team, to much plane for a newbie like myself.

I wonder if you could use a larger prop for braking

Wow Brian I like it better then the Zohd 570mm this is very fast love the engine nice.

I like this type of delta..seems nice design and quality...which seems more fun to fly this or fms flash? Thanks for sharing

What a lesson.

Well at least I'm not the only one to crash this month hehe It happens to the best of us not saying I'm the best at all 😭 Even though it was flying pretty dang good I think it's a little beyond my skills I don't think it had anything to do with Brian's skills at all Like he said he just forgot to check the control surfaces I've seen people that have been flying 30-40yrs and this exact thing happen Nice flying till it wasn't Brian 😁 Great job as always Camera Crew 🔥👍✌️

Thank you for the wonderful video. Where is the CG located?

Brings up an interesting question ... What do you do with batteries that are destroyed like that?

I’m seeing they are making this model now with an Edf!!!

AHHHHH I feel so sorry for you crash, but you can tell you too happy going full throttle, this is the only Zhod I do not have yet, no time, to space in home for more, but wow that was intense.

Brian, you want to try something really cool, purchase the F- 22 Raptor Jet from Twisted Hobbys, this thing is a blast to fly, you have to build it but it goes together really quick. Make sure you purchase the power combo offered by them including the receiver, it makes a big difference. Quite a few videos have been posted about this aircraft

Nice review ! it seems you can keep safe on the roll to keep a correct flight and be able to do looping with elevator , how it is possible please with this stabilisator .

Lol..sorry hate to see it go down. Kudos for showing it. 👏 I don't understand how the surfaces got wonky

control surface.....did this yesterday with my Nano Talon Evo and it ended up looking like your crash wreck

Did you ever get another zohd? Iv got 2 after the first 1 crashed but had to get another 1, awesome plane and you were flying it great before the end.....

So, what do you do to dispose of a Lipo pack like that?

Hi Brian. Meghan That kite is insane if I flew that on my field I would stampede about 2000 wild red n fallow deer. Waaaaay to noisy..n sketchy... I'll think ill stick with my zohd drift.. On a 3s...so quiet.. And brilliant flight times Stay well you 2 Brian

That looks like one of the fastest planes oh your channel. It was crazy fast at first when you first launched it. Camera Crew had no problem keeping up with it. Really i don't know how she does it. Especially this plane. Can you do a speed run with that? They don't have telemetry for how fast your going yet. If they don't they should get on that right away. That' would be good to know. If i did FPV with that i would pass out.

Did you try to fix it or going to get another one, what do you do for batteries like this

DITTO'S,Your an wifes time for Lonnnnng videos. Well worth a RC'ers time to watch an learn.. even liked the snow,. Im 63 12 years electric planes. Fly Havok,Radjet, Fast. No assists. Because of your video on ZOHD ALPHA STRIKE, I purchased. For me an without assist had 4 flights b4 PILOT ERROR crash an burn. . . Wow what a Rush of Adrenallin, . I recommend Some kind of flight assist for most however.. i banked to steep in a turn at low throttle to low at "0 mistake high" lol. My Error totally as yours was passing on control check,. Hey I Relate, . Shes a Great wing Airframe, . An quite a Motor Esc, to say the least. . Ill buy a few more of these.. Will put some type of stabilizer nextime. I was Crying about that Crash an burn. Great Aircraft for The " Set your Hair on Fire Pilots". Shell rule your Clubs Airfield. Tks again Take the Camera crew out to Eat. You so Lucky!

What’s good Brian!? I’m a new subscriber. Juss got into flying and your channel is super dope bruh. 💯!….. It would be nice to be able to fly wit someone else who know what they’re doing. 3 weeks in five planes later lol too much fun Love the vids bruh! And shout out to the camera crew! Wifey holdin it down for sure!

Thing is a rocket!!

I think I've watched 5 videos on this thing, and every one of them ended in some kind of wreck. You flew it longer than anyone else. Most people launch it horizontally and torque roll it right into the ground, some of the flights are literally 10 seconds.

Could be even faster if you taped over the intake vents and mounted the esc on top of the fuse instead... but after watching that, I really don't think it needs to be any faster, looks a real handful! An even lighter build with a quad motor, esc with the battery in the rear bay would be interesting to try... I might do just that with mine.

FPV?? Does it come with a hands free barf bag with ear straps?

Personally ..It looks good, but I feel it needs more wing area .. add +6" on both sides.. that would improve its slow speed and landings and also reduce the initial torque roll on take off.. that body shape is great, with plenty of room for your gear.. perhaps too fast for FPV as it is..

Need help with draco how do I get ahold of you with out giving my info out ?

That thing was hauling on full throttle

Well, you no longer have to worry about space to store that one in the basement, just a small bag of reusable parts now because I KNOW you never throw anything away. 😂

I want to know the speed of this, it seriously whips.

You're a good pilot and fun to watch, he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

I'm so damn jealous of the life you're living... Nice house, nice area you can fly in without others ruining it for you, wife who appreciates your hobby instead of wanting all your time for herself...oh and cool plane as well!

Cool

That is one crazy finicky loud mosquito

Opppsssy, Awww Brian You Can Fix That, Plus Put That Battery In The Next DYNAM Plane or The Worst Flyin One You Already Have? Soo Then We Can Possibly See A Real Smoke Trail, Then Flames To A Mid Air Explosion & What A More Suiting Product To Use!? 🤣

This video title is misleading.. we got at least three crashes here! Cheers Brian 🍻

Brian do you sell any of the plane on your video

How fast is that?

brian...you should try zeta ultra z or radjet ultra..it is awesome jet...

It doesn't make noise because it's inefficient. Every pusher prop ever naturally makes more noise. Don't know why though

So you never flew this type of wing without a gyro? I have crashed my fast prop jet a few times for sure,but never used a gyro...this plane is fast for a pnp setup big time..😊

I like “camera crew” aka wife with camera.

These jets should not be flown with stabilizers. Just use 50/60 percent throw on ailerons and 40 percent expo. Use 80-100 percent throw on elevator and 40 percent expo. You don't need the stabilizer. I've flown way more sensitive jets like the hobbyking parkjet and they do fine without any gyro/stabilizers.

Moving on! Lol

OK! When is the repair video coming? a LITTLE tube of Chia Glue ahhh better make that box of glue and you'll have it back in the air or ground in no time, and use the same batt, it is a smart one so it will remember what to do! Great look on your face through that! Well, at least you lived to crash another day! Sorry for the bad day. 😒

OK.... Im not buying that plane, if Brian could not even land it... I mean, we saw the struggle... and its BrianPhillips! Nop, I'll pass on this one.

One would have to assume poor elevator authority with the propeller behind the control surface.

Based on all the video’s that you’ve made so far, I’m guessing that the crash was due to something electronic. Maby that stabilizer. Not your flying skills. I also noticed that you had your receiver antennas sitting right on that carbon fiber rod. Great video though. I have one of these on the way right now in the mail. Camera crew got a good workout with that little screamer.

I ordered a couple of those NX3 gyros and in my opinion they are junk. The Zohd Kopilot is a much better solution 👌 and it has gps / return to home

if you want this thing to last a long time, use Futaba

I had a car that sounded like that once......it blew up.

Sad that happened. Try to fly it or any plane without any stabilisation units. It gives you a false sense of flying experience. Good video camera guy you have there.

VERY FAST PLANE

Way too fast for me, in a few seconds of full throttle it’s gone and orientation is lost with my old eyes. Your reactions and skills are awesome though. The plane ended in a salad sadly, the ZOHD Delta Strike 50mm EDF seems like a nice replacement

MY Neptune 2 (prop driven) wing is loudER than that wfo! 😳 I use 4s/1500mah stubby packs on it & my fms easy trainer. (Same motor/prop design/setup.) I think their props r dessimating the sound barrier! LoL!

Exactly where the overpriced and underperforming Spektrum and Eflite batteries belong, in the garbage! 😂 Personally I love the way the previous ZOHD models looked and performed, but this one is a hard pass for me.

Hopefully this helps ZOHD Heads that read You,,, Brian, This is My "Moby Dick",. Hopefully I Fair better than Ahab. Im 64 yo always 13 year Electric Flyer. Feel like a Noob,, with the Alpha Strike.. I "m going to this time "#2,,,. Lost #1 in Corn Field at my AMA Club last month. 100mph Lawn Dart, pair with ZOHD Ko-Pilot . Auto Launch,;Return to Home, an Stabilization. Launch no Power, basically its. The "Return to home "Function. Will gain 300 ft an circle by its self.. "WHEN" It gets to far,. Hit return to Home it will recover an circle. Catching my breath, than repeat. Its best a "Drag Racer" in a Giant Loop after "Drag run. Is the goal. With no Rudder #1 Death Spiraled unable to recover , to slow in a turn. Ive the Ko pilot in the ZOHD Drift, an Talon Evo. Both used as FPV an line if sight. Its a plug an play system this Ko pilot. Its such good Construction, Tough Foam, lot of room, cooling. Hope to "tame" it. I suppose as They tamed the White Tiger, . . .We only live once, lol.

LoL! OMG!
