Hi Steve, really loving the fact that you have a lot more RC plane videos on your channel ! I re-entered the RC hobby 2 years ago and flew a few (camera) drones. But in the end I switched to RC planes; I like those better 😉
I do indeed flying RC planes. Something very relaxing about that.
Awesome footage from the Avata.. Blue skies and wide angles!
Nice plane! Great footage of it in flight too. Always interesting to see the chase sequence with the drone. Excellent work guys 👍👍
Thanks a lot!
Which drone is doing the following
@@chadbodine7936 the drone used is mentioned in the video (either DJI FPV or Avata)
Wow Captain!; your saying "Nearly Winter?" !!!! looks mighty damn cold to me !!!; great review and I see Steve pulled off some pretty amazing stunts which looked very cool from the Avata perspective!; many thanks for sharing !
Greetings from Sunny Florida, thanks for fighting the elements. I bet those tires work good on beach sand also 😊
Good evening captain nice plane cool review enjoy the weekend
Yet another good RC plane and review Steve.
Thank you!
Hi Steve and Jedi Steve......Great video and very nice airplane.
Great review as always Captain. This looks like a great beginner plane for my grandson. Thanks for review.
Thanks for watching!
Every drone pilot comes to the cubs... they fly awesome... I have funcub and added FPV... that's the perfect thing to fly 25kph along park roads and under some trees...
Those Captain Drone stickers really pop on a dull overcast day! (Just received my C.D. Coffee mug, and loving it!)
That’s a beautiful Cub and an excellent trainer, as you pointed out. The level of detail is amazing, complete with a landing light and position light! Inflatable tires? That makes the low price even a better deal! 👍👍
Thanks for supporting the channel!
Always! It’s great standing in the shadow of greatness! I SO appreciate all you do! 🏆 🥇
awsome video steve as always.
Thanks again!
Happy Thanksgiving Steve and everyone 🦃🍁👍🙏🇺🇸
A very impressive plane ✈️
Smooth flying and easy to use
Thank you so much and God bless you all everyday and have a great week
I’m really enjoying all the plane reviews very cool. 👍👍👍👍
More to come!
Capt… I watched another channel where the guy had a catastrophic crash 10 seconds after takeoff.. he was devastated!.. company actually will replace the craft… awesome flight sir…👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yup, that was the dude on RC SAILORS. He crashes often due to simply being in a hurry and not setting up his gear correctly.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798yikes!!!well you’ve showed us,patience and due diligence will get successful flights..👍👍👍
What great shots - I'm really excited. Stay healthy in the cold weather. Great video, gread entertainment. ❤
Thank you
Great channel always good information
Really nice set up i like it
Great video Steve. Thanks I have the sport cub s 1.3m from horizon Hobby but I like the fms line and have an 800 mm war bird bbd from fms and love it. Thanks again Steve loving your plane vids.
Thanks, I’ll try and put out several plane vids each month.
Excellent Video and Excellent Plane. That You.
super awesome ... love your content
Thank you
I really want to try it now!
Really good editing👌👌👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Snow already in Canada , we got deep frost here in the UK but it's absolutely freezing, some northern parts have had snow but it's only a matter of time before the hole country gets blanketed, nice airplane .
Présentation et film splendides, merci 👍
This video was very helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Steve 😄
Wow😍.. nice one👍🇵🇭
Hello captain drone I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I like to tell you happy new year and merry Christmas and also thank you for my stickers I finally got them tell your wife thank you also I save my envelope I’ll put the captain on it Wife love you keep on going with these videos Pes❤
Glad they arrived. Happy New Year
Looks like a pretty stout looking plane & durable, I enjoy flying drone's but I enjoy planes also, more challenging for me.$199.00 is a steal for that plane.
You certainly get plenty for the price.
I like 👍 this one... nice video considering.... well, Canada 🇨🇦
howdy?! Love t, you uploaded pro uploading.
As with big aircraft, use Nitrogen to inflate your tires to combat the cold.
I have this plane and it will land in 10 ft and take off in three feet. Mods required are replacing the tail wheel assembly with a Klett unit and change the main gear tires to DuBro inflatables. One last item to change is the propeller with a E wood prop made by Vess.
Happy turkey day you turkeys
and my your Fridays be forever in the black
I got to say Steve that I was impressed with the Avata for keeping the airplane in the center of frame?
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the video. 👍👍👍
Years upon years of chasing RC planes with FPV drones has paid off 😀
Event the tyre a bit lose air in it, but still can taxi nicely.. and in my experience, kinda like a brake tho.. hehehehe.. nice one buddy
It's pretty fast for a bush plane. 😅 FMS appears to be making progress; in the past, the quality was often not exactly outstanding.
Looks cold
Show de bola esse avião ✈ 📽👀🥰😍☺🦾
On the 1st day of the year I ordered exactly this model from AliExpress, but unfortunately it won't be delivered until March... Anticipation is the greatest joy, they say. 😂
I did not even know these were sold on ALIEXPRESS. It's worth the wait.
And just now my prepayment was refunded. Reason: Not available, factory cannot deliver in CN because of Corona... 😩 And AMAZON ask for CHF 505 (~US$ 515) for it. To forget.
That thing is awesome Cap! I never saw the bigger version so this thing is huge to me. I love the bush pilot look with the balloon tires. Looks like an easy stable bird to fly too. Would this be a good choice for a new flyer? Looks very stable at low speeds.
Yes, simple to fly for a beginner. The only difficulty a beginner would have is figuring out a radio and binding to a receiver.
It also comes in a “ready to fly” version, with receiver, battery and transmitter/everything a true beginner would need to get right up in the air for a great price too!
@@travisjacobus3381 if it comes in RTF then that is perfect for a first timer
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 The RTF comes with a very down market mostly non-programmable Flysky radio and receiver. It works but even for a first timer it might pay to get the PNP and the Flysky FS-i6X/iA6B combo or something better in line with the purchaser's finances. 🙂
As to FMS, our SuperEZ v4 purchased several years ago with Stabilizer and floats during a sale has been (and still is) a lovely gentle trainer.
Hey odd question guys but, if I dropped my lipo charger flat on the ground on hard tile, and something wobbled around a bit inside, would you say it’s still useable?
ANSWER: Take it apart and see what has come loose
Nice video , what receiver do you use ? Do you use safe technology?
Receiver is shown in the unboxing and setup.
Do you recomend any hard case for drones like mini 3 pro or mini 2
I often buy the cheap AMAZON cases and put foam in
Quick question, you're flying with a spektrum transmitter, did you change the receiver on the fms plane? And if so, what receiver did you use? Thanks a million
There was no receiver in my plane… this is why I put my receiver in it.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 and can I ask what receiver you went with? Only cause I want this place as my next purchase and will have to do the same..thanks
Spektrum AR620: amzn.to/4aGVtKw
Hi, friend! I would like to acquire my first FMS brand airplane (but in reality I am very concerned about the compatibility of the electronics, that is to say... the majority of horizon hobby RTF airplanes contain spektrum electronics and many times their models are limited to said electronics... my question is.. is it possible to attach any other esc and receiver like Flysky to the fms planes?
In the RC plane hobby you can change the ESC on any RC plane. In addition you can use any receiver you wish.
I just realized, been watching your channel now for almost 3 years, and I have not got a sticker yet for my collection. Where do I get one?
Keep watching and you may have that info
Hi Steve, I have a question/request. Which is better, Fms PA-18 1300mm, or the Fms Kingfisher 1100mm? A reply would be great, but a Video would be way better.
Kingfisher is more versatile
What do you use to stick the camera ?
Double sided tape. Surprisingly it holds really well, and removes off the plane nicely, as long as you don't stick the tape on the paint on the plane.
If you just put the needle in the tire valve, the pressure will equalize with the outside air to the perfect inflation, then you remove the needle. You should never use any pump.
i have never had an Rc plane, would this be a good first plane?
Yes. I’ve been in the RC hobby for over 10 years so setting up a radio and binding to a receiver is simple for me as well as buying batteries and knowing how to set a charger to charge them. If you are a newbie to the RC world then you should begin with a READY TO FLY (RTF) RC plane like the ones I reviewed in my CAPTAIN DRONE BEGINNER RC PLANES video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok thank you! it shows on FMS's website that they make an RTF version of the pa18 1300mm
@@EasyMoneyCrew Yes, this is new. RTF is the way to go for a beginner in the RC Plane world.
👍👍✌️
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving,Steve and Steve! That sky looked awsome! Great video as always! BTW, I would mount a strobe on the bottom (forgot the right name for it)
Beacon
@@JeffSkymaster "Beacon"? Surely "bacon" is better. That way when it gets lost you can send in your hound to find it! 😜😉
I use IC3 and the XT60 together without an adapter they fit
You'd have to push really hard & bend plastic slightly to make a Spektrum connector fit in an XT60
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 that’s weird maybe I got a miss print but it goes to get her easy and I use it like that constantly. But 🤷🏻♂️
Dose this Rtf kit come with a radio and battery and charger?
This is what it says on the FMS WEBSITE: RTF (Ready to Fly) airplanes come with everything you need to fly in the box. A transmitter, receiver, battery, charger, and all other required electronics are included and pre-installed from the factory.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thats good price for a plane ready to go. Now just need to sell my mini 1. To buy this plane
One final question Steve the Rtf from fms $272 is in Canadian money or American
@@jeffberry754??? If it is not a CANADIAN website or store then it is always US dollars. FMS is international which means… US Dollars.
ok FMS i trid to buy this plane gave you my info to have you send me a notice of a hold up on that plane thats ok cause i won't try again thamks for nothing thats ok cause i have local shop that has no issues getting me what i want un like you fms lol so i am good
The price is not to bad a t all!
Why don't you put cameras on these RC airplanes more often... because they look so cool 😎 flying...put the camera facing forward not backwards... it's like driving in reverse....the ending of this video was pretty cool looking 👍
When you point a camera forward, the prop ruins the view. Best place for a camera to be looking forward would be on the tail section, but that will through many planes out of balance unless they are super large.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 that would still be OK in my book...it'll probably look like a ww 1 gunner....😁
Can't buy this plane rtf in Canada from fms i know I have tried. Don't want my money i guess
In Canada, you can only buy the FMS planes from one of the following stores:
- Great Hobbies
- Fair RC
- FMS CANADA (you can only select planes listed as SHIPS TO CANADA ONLY)
Also, the FMS stock in Canada goes fast, so when this video was made (long ago) the Canadian stock was high, but when gone… it’s gone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i figured it out Steve. They were selling the rtf kit way to cheap they were losing money
I also have this kind of Plane and more because I sell these kind of flying Airplanes.
Hi Steve Ordered the FMS Suoer Cub shipped to Canada and A spare prop after your great review. Recived Email processing order ready for shipment. A couple days later I recieved email out of stock I asked when new stock would arrive they replied 3 weeks 4 weeks later recieved email order on the way A week later recieve email sending refund for plane no stock no restock timeline Spare prop for a plane i cant get arrived today LOL This is a very unprofesional poorly run company Buyer Beware!
Good news! As an RC Plane enthusiast with a popular UA-cam channel i’ve gotten to know the marketing team at FMS. In Canada they ship a container of planes to BC approx 4 times per year. If the container is delayed… no stock. There are hundreds of Canadians all waiting for the latest container and all with orders…. I’m one of them 😀
I didnt even get the option to wait for new stock just refunded for plane and sent uneeded spare prop They should not advertise in stock on website and then do this very disapointed bad experiance leson learned @@CAPTAINDRONE798
NO, Airplane has only *ONE* wing but not two, only biplane has two wings, also horizontal stabilizer is one, and it's not a tailwing at all!
Love it!
This is very small Airplane 🛩. I have A320 or A380 like full man size and it fly also in sky like United Airlines.
since you flew many plane i thing you can stop saying a drone pilot flew a wing.....
I’m a drone pilot and will always be one and my RC friends all refer to me as “The Drone Pilot”, so hence the vid titles.
Do not fly this on 4S, the motor can only handle 350W. On 4S it is at 520W. You will burn the motor at some point. The ESC is also very close to the limit on 4S at 38A. And as we know with most foam planes, cooling is not very good. And there fore the ESC will give in at some point if flown on 4S. FMS also states 3S only...
It has plenty power on 3S, it is a very nice flyer...
These planes with 40 amp ESCs fly on 4s with no issue (lots of videos of the plane on 4s). But like with all RC cubs, don’t fly on full power for 5 straight minutes on a super hot day.
My father had a piper cub. stick controls. Was a fun aircraft to fly.
Cubs are easily the most enjoyable
Steve in the clickbait caption photo you forgot to add an arrow pointing to the plane also. Something like "Plane → "
You are the first person in 5 years to use the term “click bait photo” on my channel. That deserves an award!
