  • Well here is my 2nd ever flight of the FW F9F-8 Cougar 80mm . I opted not to use the installed gyro mainly since I am unable to control the gains without a programmer for the gyro.

    What a sweet plane! And, good flying FG; always appreciate the genuine thoughts from you. (We get anxiety and adrenaline in this hobby.) FWR, YT has not shown you on my daily recommended videos past week or two. So, I just clicked on Notifications; watching you 10 minutes a day is part of my routine now and I am not going to change that.

    Gotta love Florida. While the rest of us are all bundled up from the freezing cold you are chilling in shorts. 😂. I thought you did just fine on your second flight. I’m right there with you. Each plane has it’s own flying and landing characteristics you have to get a feel for. I thought you did a great job. Keep showing us your planes!

      Thanks, yes planes are like children, you can have a set of identical twins but they are so different in behaviour.

    Too windy here in Pensacola, to fly. Dont let the haters bother you. Enjoy your accomplishments and success.

      Thanks, no haters don't realize the negative comments help also. As far as the UA-cam algorithm is concerned anyways. My only concern is it does not help at all for the hobby. Were trying to continue a great and ever learning and evolving hobby. Negativity may only discourage other from getting into it .

    Aloha, my brother, what I would really love to see 1 day if you could do a video on how to install After burner in the back of the airplane. It looks like a real engine from the back.
    After burner can't wait, thanks, big man. Hello.

    • @FatGuyFliesRC
      @FatGuyFliesRC  7 місяців тому

    Posting question here because I assume you’re more likely to see comments on newer videos. On the various T28s with retracts, not including the 2.0 Carbon Z, which one has the best/most robust retracts?
    Thanks!

    • @FatGuyFliesRC
      @FatGuyFliesRC  7 місяців тому +2

      So far my experience with t-28 retracts has been limited to Efite T28s retracts the 1.2 meter and the Big one, However after much research I have found that T-28 s in models seem to have an issue anyhow. Something about the way the wing flares up and putting a retract up while turning. I started only using my retracts while in straight level flight and never in a turn and now have had no issue. i know that does not actually answer your question but that is what I know.

    P.S.
    You are a great pilot, my friend! 😊 I don't know what happened to you that made you gave us that little speech before the end of your video. Whatever it was,don't pay attention, you are a great pilot and we like your videos😁👍🏾
    As I said at the beginning of my comment, I also have this beautiful jet. I set full reverse thrust on a 3 position switch to avoid the infamous reverse thrust mishaps that had happened to most of us sometimes. Here's how I did it...

    If you decide to use this setting, can you say hi to me on your next video flying the Cougar 😁
