Any landing you walk away from....

Dont force it to land.

There was an article in one of the R/C modeler magazines, where I first saw the best way to set up for the perfect landings. In it you set up your plane for the best power off glide in the air a good distance above the runway, find the slowest speed you can glide before stall using your elevator trim. Land and record where the elevator is set on the plane after landing. Then move your trim tab on the transmitter to the full back setting. Then re-adjust the elevator to match this recorded position you observed after landing. You would have also recorded where the idle setting trim is just before it will kill the engine. Now all you have to do is pull back throttle and elevator trims so those full back positions, no quess-work. Just fly the plane using the throttle to adjust the elevation of the plane as it gently glides to a perfect landing. No jumping on the elevator up or down to get it to settle on the ground. I used this method from then on, with all my models. It works perfectly. The trick is learning where your plane stalls with the power set to idle, high enough in the air to recover. Make the corrected adjustments on the elevator horn to reset it to the best-glide position.

Was this a tutorial?

Hello Steffen, did HH swap out the warped wing? Thank you, Anthony

😢

How is the cameraman so high up?

These are very helpful and the best i have seen but i dont recall you saying what controls you are using to turn, Rudder, ailerons or a combination? When to use each or not to would be helpful. The landing tips are very helpful. THANKS!

Not that bad either

Carrier landing. A little too high on short final. It needs to look like a duck with its feet down. Of course, the 70mm has no suspension. How long is that runway?

Practicing flying in a figure of eight either side of the runway is a good start.

Since I don't fly in the winter months, usually November to April. I keep a simple flyer to start every season with. Fixed gear, high lift, slow qualities, and I spend 3 or 4 days minimum just going around and setting up for final and before touch down, throttle up, and come around again. After a week or 2, I like to move up to an A6M Zeke. They handle a lot like a low wing trainer, and balance nicely for a smooth approach, working the throttle, and the pitch. The roll is very nice and I have the wing balanced so that it stalls straight forward, and doesn't drop a wing left or right, clean or dirty. The one I wait for and usually fly last in the 109 E4. I even installed a 3 axis gyro for takeoff and landing assistance. The narrow landing gear, combined with the steep angle of decent on landing with no leading edge slats makes it a tricky one. But that's the way I usually go about the new season.

A+ for preparation!

Awesome repair job!

I was wondering what your bench looked like. Nice setup.

SUPER useful tools to have if you fly electric...this and a watt meter. Nice Will!

Great little plane William. The yellow seems to be the colour...sorry Color. Might just get one as they have come down by $100 here in OZ to A$240. @ 6:50 I did the same to my umx A-10 & used UHU por

I am amazed how Crow braking stabilizes and slows my Viper 70mm V1. It enables a steep descent for our short grass runway with trees on either end. I highly recommend it.

What type of steamer is that?

OK Gadget Guy - You just keep coming up with more ways to spend $. ( But I like it. )

Would I be better off waiting and ordering the E6000 or should I proceed with the hot glue gun that I already own? Also, does the glue dry inside the syringe making this method a one-time use? Or, will the glue remain inside it without hardening? Thanks. Newly subscribed. I have a Carbon Cub S2 that the ground suddenly rushed up to meet nose-on.

Good video and info

I love watching landings over everything else,as they best show the pilot's skills.

I like the Hitec Lipo Checker because it shows the voltage of up to 6 cells on one screen and I don’t have to push any buttons. MotionRC has a clone of it, but I doubt it’s as accurate. The Tenergy 5-in-1 has a servo driver, but you have to push buttons to check individual cells. I like the ToolkitRC M8S, but it’s $50 now. However, it’s a lot more versatile than the Spektrum XBC100.. 😎

FMSZERO

I don’t have these types of transmitters but am experiencing the same opposite action on my elevators gyros any help???

All that runway, and he wants to use less than half of it.

I have a lil samll bf109 plane and i got good at it.Would that that e fite sr22t be good for my Second plane or ranger c152 rtf ... pls help

Looks nice, cant wait to maiden mine.

Hey, don’t make me look too bad.. 😎

Do you practice dead stick landings?

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING MANY EFLITE MODELS WITH SOME THIN PAINT AND GATORING ....MUST BE SLIPPING AT THE FACTORY

As in a real airplane-anyone can go fast, only the skilled can fly slow

The technique of pointing the plane at you until it intersect the runway is excellent, especially for beginners. Just keep in mind that you need to stand near the beginning of the runway! If the club does not allow that, then point it between you and the beginning of the strip, lining-up before the plane passes behind you. Using landmarks aIso work well when having more experience. I found that for electrical airplanes, it also help to find a good combination of motor idle and elevator rate (use the "throttle cut" to stop the engine and the low rate for the elevator). Not using exponential on the low elevator rate helps keeping the plane's response predictable across the landing and flaring sequence and avoid over flaring and ballooning. I try to set up the elevator's low rate so that at the end of the flare (and before stalling), the stick is fully or nearly fully up. Many tend to use way too much amplitude on the control surface leading to over reaction, then counter-over reaction. Save the high control surface rate for aerobatic, on landing you need precise smooth and predictable control. If you are a little short on landing, add throttle but try to keep the same attitude and go back to idle once back on track. And practice. Often time after landing I check my battery level and if possible, go for a few take-off and landings. Treat landings as just another maneuver to perfect! And that will pay-off in the emergencies! If you fly electric, use some power on landing and do not have telemetry for battery level, regularly do a few practice with the motor completely cut-off too so that you are still comfortable in "dead stick" situations.

Makes me sick how everything is making you so dependent on your smart phone. God help you if you don't have it or it goes dead when you need it.

Wow - Looks and sounds really cool!

This is the FMS Cessna rebranded, I have some of the Arrows birds they are the exact airframes of past FMS products just rebranded, with newer electronics. The problem I found with Arrows is replacement parts are hard to get so I have had to resort to getting the relevant FMS parts which match structurally but not aesthetically often. Good value, very solid

I always thought landing was the best part enjoyed it more than anything.

All you need is a FPV VTX and some googels. The hard part is that you can't see shit, ANYONE can land a plane with FPV . Now go get a Air unit and you all well see I'm right.

I like your methodical approach for initial flights!

How much did it cost? With all the servos, esc, motor

Hello my friend. its a very nice bird for a trainer or if you want to take it as a Sunday flyer and just relax. Very nice review. I do wish Arrows would install the servo horns on the plane and a few other things that you had to glue on... Tell Arrows its 2024 and we don't want to have to install them. Otherwise its nice bird and thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍

D- for bottom battery feeder.

Excellent review and great attention to detail on the assembly! Wow

@SteffenRC. Hi. Thank you for this great video. Can you please share the control throws of the flaps ?

What's the flight time being electric?

Nothing new, its just the old FMS rebranded for Arrows. Fms makes all the Arrows planes anywho. You can also buy all the Arrows planes from Fair Rc

Good review but ease of building and attention to detail like screw length, cable routing and gluing components make this a poor model compared to the fms Ran 28:54 ger series .

Don't flare, Just lan on throttle alone
