I'd like to see all of those!

Man it will teach you a ton. Great airplanes.

Awesome. Great plane for sure!

On most Watt meters there is a scrolling reading that changes after you finish a test. It will scroll between the highest reading on volts, watts, and amps as long as it is still plugged up to the battery. On mine that is the bottom left reading. We cover the display at 3:05 in the video.

It's normal for a high wing high lift plane to climb at full throttle. If you trim at 60% throttle for level flight at 100% it will climb. Two things on the inverted flight - If your CG is too far forward it will take more down elevator to maintain it, or if you don't have much elevator throw it will take more stick movement to maintain it. Fix is obviously move the CG back some or add elevator throw...or both. With this type of plane it will never be completely neutral where it flies inverted hands off, but it shouldn't take a ton of down elevator to maintain it if the set up is right and you're going fast enough. You don't have to be haulin', but you can't be poking along at just above a stall either.

@@ModelAV8RChannel thank you for this reply, I will be doing some more tuning

Full review is linked, and the product link is in that description.

You bet!

You are very welcome! A 3D profile foamy can teach you so much...really improved my flying.

Actually yes there is room for a RID module, and I think you could use one of the open plugs on the board to power it. The Spektrum only weighs a few grams. The price tag is what it is for good reasons, and there is some interaction with another commenter where I give the details if you'd like to look at the comments and read all that. I didn't try a takeoff from the nacelles. Not really a reason to as its very easy to hand launch...which minimizes the wear on the skid plates.

@@ModelAV8RChannel thanks. I read that at the bottom of the comments. It would be worth pinning it. Still, $199 for no LEDs or flaps is my deal-breaker. LEDs don't cost much and add a ton. Maybe skip the flaps but still they would be huge for me at little cost.

The thing is...it actually needed to be a bit more than they decided on, but they tried to keep it from being more than 200 no matter what. I hear folks say what you said about LED's so often and they are missing the point. Based on the comment you read - it isn't that the LED's cost much...you're right, they don't. It is about the labor to pay for the extra time in CAD to design the additional lenses and wire channels as well as the additional labor involved in installing all that on every model by hand at the factory level...that is expensive. So something you're assuming would cost less than a dollar a plane would actually be as much as $20 additional per plane when it's all said and done...and you're already complaining about the price. To add flaps...same story. Anytime you add anything...same story. We have to remember man...these product developers are modellers just like us. The are as passionate as we are...more so I'd say. They do this work 24/7, year after year, while listening to people complain about their efforts and they keep on doing it. They'd love every single feature on every single plane while magically keeping them light and at a price that is cheap as much as we would love that. The difference is they have a budget, timeline, and deadlines to adhere to. They are aware of everything it takes and how much that costs to get a plane done. So would lights and flaps be awesome on this little jet...sure, but then it would be heavier, have more failure points, and cost $240...and people would still complain. My hope is that I can help educate the community on how some of this works so they have realistic expectations when I have the chance. You and the other gentleman are willing to have a conversation rather than just be a troll about it, and I appreciate that...so I put in the effort to reciprocate, and hopefully educate. So on a large, scale, more "full house" model...you can get almost everything as far as features on some of them because you can charge enough for it to cover that. On smaller planes...compromises have to be made. That is just the way it is.

Yep, got one in there now myself.

Not sure exactly. Quick though.

Thanks Mike!

PDQ...

No mechanical adjustments, stock throws. It is easier to fly than the F-86, and easier to land.

@@ModelAV8RChannel thank you very much ! I apreaciate it. Greetings from Austria
