NICE ONE BOBBY !!! , On my to get list !!!
Getting mine Thursday! Im am really excited for this bird
Got mine together, ready to go. Hopefully tomorrow...stay tuned...
Can’t wait to fly mine
I am pulling the trigger on that plane. I didn't like it at first because of the color scheme. But, the more I keep seeing it, I've finally falling in love with it. And, I don't have a lot of room, so those quick connect wings are sweet. Thanks for the video.
Very COOL guys!
that is a pretty plane!! That fan sounds really good with lots of thrust to boot!! Nice to see that FW started putting more into their fan design! Great flight guys!! The Gyro comes with it??? Man this is a good deal on this bird!! And that first flight the battery came down at almost 3.8v per cell!! That new fan is gooooooood!!
Yesssir the gyro comes with it! It just makes a great flyer an even better flyer!
Finally a full format review video. Sorry guys we just refuse to watch them short clips. Thanks.
We do full format videos 1-2 week like normal! Shorts get annoying too lol
Awesome flight from you both ✈️, I'll be looking forward to the podcast review 👍🏾
Awesome!!, we appreciate you checking us out!!
Sweeeeet, sound so nice and looks smooooth! 🙌🏼
Dang you guys made that cougar look so good. Now I want one 😊
Honestly, that Cougar surprised the heck out of me, lol it's great
When I first saw Motion announce this plane I was like mehh but the more I see it and watch it fly it really is growing on me. It even sounds amazing! Im digging it now!
I was the same way too!! I firs saw it and it appeared mediocre but actually looking at it it grew on me,flying it made it love it! It's GREAT
Same...I picked one up. In person, it's really nice.
If you drill a small hole on the canopy, you won’t get the gator affect because the air inside the canopy will not get super heated.
I was surprised to not see a pre- drilled hoke like all the rest! Appreciate the tip
Both good flights! Cougar looks to be a performer with new fan too!
Very nice guys! Looks like a keeper…. I was afraid that light grey would disappear but it shows up well…
Yeah, I thought so too, but you're right it's not hard to see!
Nice flight and overview guys, glad to see the grass ops! Enjoy it!
You been having the heat over there in NC, California has been the May Gray, June Gloom crap flying weather
That thing is SWEEEET. Excellent review guys!
Thanks Popeyefpv! Appreciate you 🙏
Awesome job Bob and Jeff, definitely a fan of your reviews.
We really appreciate you checking us out too! We try to be straightforward and nooooooo bull 🙂
What I want to know, though... is it smooth at all? 😂 Nice flight chief.
Excellent flying, Bobby. I'm looking really hard at this, and Flex Innovations F-100D SUPER SABRE 90MM EDF SUPER, or the Freewing F-86 Sabre High Performance 80mm. Tough decisions!
I heard the f100 is weak and under powered the f86 high performance is solid!
I'm in then. Also, F-86's probably more economical on power. The other Sabre that's looking interesting is the Banana Hobby AeroFoam Blue White MiG-17 90mm that you so eloquently flew in your video. This would sit nicely next from my Viper 90mm.
I also don't like the needle on the front. I think it's ugly. And if it hits the grass that's not good. Nice flying gentlemen.
I got one for Christmas and can't wait to fly her this spring.
It looks like your CG is right on the money. Are you running it a little nose heavy from the factory CG Marks? Thanks.
I always run the slightly nose heavy
Nice easy upgrade for all older FW 80s is to put this new fan in. Bet its similar to the FMS 2000kv unit. Looked like it was as agile and quick as the futura v3. Which is huge praise 👍🏾
Absolutely 💯
but the futura is MUCH lighter than the cougar. so shouldn`t it be much better?
There's not that much in it. About 10% more weight. My Couger handled the larger lipos better than my futura did.
*SHOCKED* You didnt say "Like and Subscribe" right before take off! I swear this is the first time ever.
Ha I was just excited to fly the thing LOL
@@RCPlaneReviewer that line is kinda becoming apart of your branding lol - great review Brothers...
@@RCPlaneReviewer what are your thoughts between this bird and the Avanti S? I'm trying to dial in for my next bird.
A great video may be a review of the two seeing as though people keep comparing them in the last few days
@@mizz9841 Man, The Avanti s is an awesome flyer, but this Cougar fly just as well and its...faster!!! and lands very forgiving! definitely go with the cougar especially with the gyro.
@@RCPlaneReviewer wow thanks for that wisdom. I have grown to trust your opinion by how real you are in your reviews. While you clearly keep it positive and professional you also are critical when necessary which I find refreshing... Thanks again -
That's a nice bird! and what is gatoring?(you mentioned it while touching the canopy)..
Hey thanks for watching! I should have elaborated on the term gatoring but it's when the heat makes the foam expand and makes it look like the skin of an alligator..it's the pressed foam beads
@@RCPlaneReviewer ok sir , Appreciate that!
I have similar issue on some of my canopies. If you leave it exposed to the direct sun light for several minutes, hemi-bubbles start to develop inside the canopy. Some folks where I fly like the look.@@RCPlaneReviewer
Was it nice? Did it fly nice?
It did!!! You gotta watch the video review for the other good stuff
I take it that it's "nice" and that it's "smooth"?
It's nice and smooth yes indeed
How is the suspension It does not look like the struts give much
They do a good just you want them firm but not spongy or it will bounce alot on landings. On hard landing they are great at absorbing shock
That’s one awesome plane, Thanks Jeff for asking Bobby what gyro it is. That’s amazing, looks locked in. Love this channel, no B.S sales pitch , and you guys even fly it as it comes out of the box without a bunch of high end mixing B.S And you both flew it with the ordinance on board. 😊.
We appreciate the support and we try to be straightforward and honest with every review!!
When is the speed trails. Its been so stormy everyday here in ms. Cant maiden mine yet
We completed the speed Trial and it's freaking sweet.
Ok so give lol
I ordered another 2150 fan for my avanti
Where do I get one?
These can be had at rccastle.com and motionrc.com
Well you lost me at “F4F Cougar” and “Cccccougar”
What's the aerobatic potential. These flights showed nothing. Knife edge, point rolls. How much forward stick to hold inverted etc. Everyone just wants to bank and yank
Rule#1 on maiden flights is none of that. A maiden flight is to see how the plane flies in a normal setting. We push the airplane in the 2nd-3rd video. And for speed trials. If you're looking for aerobatics ect on a maiden flight, we are not the channel for you, but thanks for watching.
@RCPlaneReviewer you're right. If you guy's only use the rudder for take offs, this channel is not for me. Have fun doing circles
@@alwaysflying6540 We do and will! At least you know what you like!Appreciate the views! Check out someother channels that specialize In What your looking for! 👌
