  • This is my maiden flight of the 61" Skywing Edge 540.
    The video looks a little bright. I'm still learning the new gimbal and the video app the gimbal uses. I know how to correct this and will keep it in mind for next time.

    Skywing is such a good value. A little less expensive than extreme flight and feature rich. Specifically the quick wing servo connections.

    Great flight John good job there's Shane and Junior .I almost laughed when you did your control test to see I expect elevator to go up it goes up I expect the elevator to go down it goes down ready to go right it goes right ready to go left it goes left and then you should have said I expect right wing to go up it goes up I expect left-wing to go up those control surfaces are freaking huge great job guys take care

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  Рік тому +1

      Lol, yeah, they're big control surfaces for sure. Shane did pretty good with the camera. Glad to have the help that's for sure.

    @mithrandir1313 27 днів тому

    Hint: High Rate should have enough expo it feels like low rate around neutral stick... the small little stick deflections used for typical level flight and gentle turns should be identical High and Low rates...

    Is the r24-D with converter board and super 4 still your preferred combo? Just ordered a SW edge 540 67”!

    • @RCVideoReviews

      Still an awesome setup. You might want to check my last video showing native sbus.

    What program setting did you use for the Hobbywing esc?

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  Рік тому

      Without getting the card out and running through them, I can't recall, but it's the usual suspects: Highest BEC voltage, brake off, soft cut (3.0v I think), etc..

    Hi John, thanks for your valuable video. I'm not a 3D pilot, mine is a sport flight with some 3D figures. Your video made me realize that this could be the model for me. Please, can you tell me the recommended CG, the maximum command excursions and those for Low rate and High rate. I couldn't find a manual that reported these values. A thousand thanks. Maurizio from Italy.

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  3 місяці тому

      Glad to help. CG is on the wing tube. Use these rates to get started:
      Elevator: Low rate-8-10 degrees; 15-20% Exponential
      3D rate-45-50 degrees; 60-65% Exponential
      Insane tumble rate: As much as possible! 65-70% Exponential
      27
      Rudder: Low rate-20 degrees; 45-50% Exponential
      3D rate- As much as possible; 80-90% Exponential
      Aileron: Low rate-15-20%; 40-45% Exponential
      3D rate- As much as possible; 70-75% Exponential

    what free/cheap sim would you recommend?

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  Рік тому +1

      This one is not great, but it will teach some muscle memory: ua-cam.com/video/EhrzCrkp7GY/v-deo.html
      Honestly though, a one-time investment in a decent sim is money well spent because it will save a fortune in broken models. Real Flight is one of the better airplane sims I've used.

    Can someone point me to where I can find the setup for controller for this plane. Or what is the alierons an elevator set at

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  Місяць тому

      Look at any of the 60" 3D information sheets at the bottom of the product listings on Extremeflightrc.com
      For 60" planes, the'll all be similar and reasonable starting points.

    what were you trying to do at 9:14 that you said, "I don't know how those guys to that"

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  Рік тому

      An axial roll on the lateral axis. I've seen videos where they make it look like it's just stopped in the air and it literally flips over on the lateral axis.

      I'm using Liperior 6s4000. On my scale, they're 610g.

      @SMModels1200 Рік тому

      ​@@RCVideoReviews Great, thanks. I plan to use the gens 6s 4400mAh, which has 640g, maybe it's too much. 🤔 Recommended are lightweights.

      Are we talking about the same company? northwestrc.com/

    @daysdesigns Рік тому +1

    I kinda disagree. I think you should land with high rates... and I think many would agree. Good flying.

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  Рік тому +1

      Your money, your hobby, do your thing. I prefer landing with mid/low rates when there are barn doors hanging off the wings and stabilizers. In the end, it's subjective and up to the pilot.

    • @daysdesigns
      @daysdesigns Рік тому

      This guy agrees. LOL ua-cam.com/video/xFmuAP1TtAg/v-deo.html Obviously it's up to the individual and their personal preferences. 3D planes are much different than all others also.

    • @michaelkrailo5725
      @michaelkrailo5725 Рік тому

      I get the reasoning behind using high rates while going slow but some pilots don't like using high amounts of expo and in that case mid or low rates works just fine.

  • @dbirds21
    @dbirds21 Рік тому

    I high rate everything. HIgh rate landing turns into hovering and other stall aerobatics.
