It's a surprising model. Gentle and sporty flyer depending on the throttle. Also, it's a really nice looking model.
This model is added to the wishlist. Thanks for the review.
Very nice. I've got Arduplane on a Matek F405 mini te running on mine with DJI Caddx. One of my favorite planes.
Great video my friend. Iam about to maiden this baby today. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Best of luck with the maiden!
RadioLink Byme-A stab fits easily. Even on 2s there is greater than 1:1 thrust to enable the use of the "Hover Mode" with the Byme. Finding a battery to fit properly will be the hardest part these days. Pootles around nicely.
Looks like a nice little bird. I tend to use ones with FCs. With two props, I imagine it would be a bit more straight flying. Overall, pretty decent option
Fantastic flying, Lee! 😃
Thanks a lot for the setup tips!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for the review and showing the battery bay dimensions
Thanks Lee, I was considering what I should get next. I have always thought about a twin prop and it looks like I know what's next now. Great review.
Hold on, videos of the HEEWING T1 coming..... Room in that for flight controller and decent battery...
Nice!
Happy flying always
Spotter: You're dropping, you're turning left
Flying Fish: I'm actually turning right, but never mind
He's doing his best! :D
Very cool, can't wait to build my first fixed wing.
Great job Lee nice to see you using the Taranis for me it's still my goto radio ..
Thanks for such a quality and informative review Lee, you’re a gent . This is definitely next on my wish list
You're dragging your heels Dave! 😜 We've got 5 between our mob now. These are going to take over from the Mini Warbirds as the sub-250g fun flier of choice! Grab 'em before they're gone. 🙂
On 3s 850mah you can stand them on the tail feathers, rip the throttle up and blast off for the moon. A Radiolink Byme-A stab added makes 'em suitable for everybody from your Granny to your rev-head teenager! 😂
@@theoztreecrasher2647 ah you grumpy ole codger 🤣 great to hear from you 👍 I hope life is treating you well and wish I could be flying with you and your mates. Thanks for the info about this plane - you’re a gent, well part time maybe 👋
@@rcpilots1291 🤑😂😂
Thenks
If you put a 360 camera on it would you be able to look around with your fpv headset, when moving your head
Nice
thanks lee. it sounded like a ad prop when u took off. also did u calibrate both esc. just 2 things i thought whilst watching. great plane might get one thx
ESC calibration for a twin is important. I didn't need to trim the rudder. Happy flying!
what do you think about this plane versus the hee-wing t1? trying to decide between the two. maybe comparing the low speed and high speed flying between the two? thanks Lee!
See my recent video on my top 4 planes and wings.. I cover it all in there.. Happy flying
Nice one! Seeing this makes me want to go order a Flying Fish. Would you recommend it for a first twin?
Possibly it is a super easy to fly model with lots of forgiveness.. Happy flying
Question to all!! I need to calibrate the flying fishes ECS. Anyone know how to do that? I think the 2 in 1 got reprogrammed when i tried to bind it. It started playing a tunes and now when i hit throttle it only engages at half stick. Thanks in advance!!!
Usually you connect power with the throttle at full and then drop to zero once the ESC starts beeping..
Lee is not a lot of help there mate! This little twin, which we have 6 of (and love flying) does have some faults. Mostly these seem to derive from that combined ESCs/Bec/PD board. On occasion the digital aileron servos (which are routed through it) seem to pick up some interference and can self-destruct (especially when no receiver signal is present - as in when an added Stabilizer is booting up.) AND, as you have there plus we also had 1 instance of, occasionally the ESCs go beserk and CANNOT be recalibrated as Lee described. Probably best to just pull the combo board and replace with 2x Mini 7A ESCs and 1x Mini 3A Bec.
I just received mine in the mail and awaiting time to maiden. With no osd for voltage at what point do you land?
Old school stuff 😁 fly it for 5 mins, land and check the battery. Then you will have an idea of what flight time to set the flight timer on the radio to... Happy flying!

Did you have any crashes?
And if you did, would you say that it was VERY durable in those crashes, or just average like other foam planes?
No crashes but the foam is holding up OK. the light weight and lower speeds are helping keep it in one piece!
@@Painless360 Well go crash it a few times and let me know!! j/k ;)
It is at a new home with a flying buddy and I'm sure he will give it a through testing! :D
@@Painless360 Well, if he crashes it and you wouldn't mind taking a couple minutes, I'm sure I'm not the only person who would really appreciate learning how durable (or not) that plane is. There's nothing like a plane that behaves really well for newer pilots or for afternoons when you just want to have a lazy relaxed flight, but will perform and do fun stuff when you want to push your skills and see what you and the plane can do, but then (here's the part most planes fail at) stand up to most crashes without needing any repairs. My WL Toys F949 is great for lazy putting around, and it's virtually impossible to damage. I've flown straight into trees, straight into the ground, straight into the side of a wooden shed...and I have never had to repair a single thing on it. But it's nothing more than a putt-putt lazy flier that can't do anything interesting. So I'm searching for that holy grail of a plane that is just as durable as that F949, and just as mellow when I'm mellow, but is a blast to fly loops and rolls and inverted and vertical when I feel like trying those things. One of these days SOMEBODY will crack that code...and trying to figure out if the Flying Fish may be close to that?
@@SteveGergetz get the Nano Goblin
What's the max size battery that will fit
Battery bay size shown in the video. Happy flying
Has anyone tried to fly the Fish on one motor?
Any twin running on only one motor can be a handful with the induced yaw. I've not tried as yet this on is still flying great here... Happy flying
Nice
