Good job separating the videos into two parts! With viewers generally falling into two categories, those that want to see the setup along with the flight vs those who just want the flight, this has to be better for your analytics.
When I started a couple years ago, I enjoyed the full videos. Now planes are being rereleased and I find myself cutting out after the flight. That is unless there is some crash or repair which you call out in the title.
Those like me who have seen the previous versions can now skip the Unboxing without destroying your analytics on the 3hr version. You even went straight into the canopy carve out from the V2. That thing grooves. Now time to unbox my V2 in the closet for over a year.
Thanks and Good Job to you and Megan!
Dude that thing sounds sooooooo good. I also love the sound of it moving thru the air with no throttle. Looks like it's a blast and on rails. Great job with this one camera crew!
I swear there's so many options out there. I find it hard to make my mind up on what I want to get next 😂🤷♂️
Very nice, thank you guys.
Love the colors. Going to brake the sound barrier with that one. I think you are getting floaters in your eyes. Nothing popped off. Welcome to the club.
What a lunch break that was an awesome video keep up the good work you're flying is insane I love it.
About time u brought this vid out Brian! I'm already onto my 2nd one! That whistle the body makes as it passes bye
Man that baby just burns the sky up. Wow! Well done FMS. Pretty cool jet. Too fast for this old man.
Sure does...and YET you can actually slow her down for a presentation pass in our tight area! LOVE IT!
Picking one up today!! Love that jet.
This thing is HUGE 🎉
I love my v2, without any stabilizer its still on rails. one of my most flown jets to date.
That plane is so beautiful! I love the sleek paint job. It is awesome all around! Great job!
Thanks! This plane is amazing! You need one ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah! But I only have a dirt runway, so it probably would like it. I just flew my newish RV-7 in our backyard!
I love that you got the word "livery" correct!!!! great flight!!!!!
Me too... too funny. Last few weeks I keep cringing... today... beautiful. 😀
Dang, looks even faster than a freewing Mirage. Nice flying jet and sounds good!
Really nice looking plane as always the best reviewer on UA-cam.
Hello Brian. I almost lost my V3 futura. The reflex did the same as yours. Would auto level. Then would stick in down intermittent. Then it was flying wonky with extreme limited control. Lucky I got it down in one of my best landings ever! I think I’m ripping it out and going with AR647T
"Camera crew" doing a fantastic job as always, I swear, I don't know how she does that!! Good job, oh and good job flying too😉
awesome jet and flying
Thanks!
AWESOME Brian 🔥
100% - it was amazing!
Love that jet but I love your house more......so different your style of homes there than here in Oz...... stay safe... no more autolevel-plummets....... keep up the great work... cheers from downunder
Your flights and control of your aircraft are amazing. But the camera crew makes me speechless with their filming abilities. Lucky man....
badass you two!
Love the channel very informative! I just purchased through your link!
Awesome! Thank you!
Have received mine in Australia. Still in the box but man it looks sweet! Can’t wait to get it into the air!!!
It is so good! Good luck!!!!
Get it together!!! Its gonna surprise you!!
@@gooniac33 thanks guys. I got the 80mm Red Arrows Hawk at the same time. Hope to maiden that first then I’ll break out the Futura! I’m excited as I know they both have buckets of power and taking off on our rough grass runway should be easier than my 70mm stuff that bogs down 🤦🏻♂️
@@SommerAdric the hawk is another incredible plane! Especially with it being a scale bird! Its not quite as fast as the Futura but it has gobbs of thrust as well! I wore one out then bought the newest version with 2100kv inrunner!
Oh man!!! I’ve been waiting!!
Very nice airplane!!
It sure is!
I was hoping you would have a review of this. I purchased one last week that arrived in the mail today.
It is amazing!
The futura surprised the hell out of me! I knew it was good…. But mot THAT good!! Holy hell is this plane incredible!! It does everything good but man…. Fast is best! I never had to remove any foam either and I use a big ole 6s 100c 7200 Socokin pack! 😳😳😳 they are light and it doesnt feel any different than with the 5200. All the way back is the way to go… as far back as possible. I never even checked to see if CG was in range and just flew with zero issues!! Love love love love this plane!! (Oh and no reflex for me…)
I too was taken aback when I first reviewed the V2, but then this one upped the ante even more!
@@BrianPhillipsRC the thing is. It gets faster and faster until about the 10th flight. These motors tend to do that. Its an incredible plane and now one of my fave sport jets!
You can drift the plane to slow down on concrete. Unlike other planes it won’t flip since the gear is wing mounted and has a wide stance
Wow nice
I test auto level on the bench, switch it on, hold the plane with the nose towards me, point the tail in the air and the elevator moves up and stays up until you let the plane go level. If you let the tail down slowly you can watch the elevator come back to level, that way you are sure it is working correctly with no risk
yes, we have shown this a few hundred times too in our videos, but this plane "passes" all our vetting, and yet it did that CRAZY thing - still not an issue, as I now know to get the plane somewhat level the first time with REFLEX V2's and then be ready to confirm it's going to work right in flight.
Bad ass guys
Thanks Shane! This plane is excellent!!!
Dude are you flying out of your driveway haha. I WANT this
yes - hallmark of our channel ;)
P.S. It's a runway that we taxi our cars down - LOL ;)
Thanks for the video, Brian. Compared to other EDF sports jets, I wonder which model is appropriate for the beginners? I'm practicing in the realflight program to fly an edf jet plane. There are some recommended models in EDF jets, such as Viper, AvantiS, Banshee, Marlin, etc.
I don't know what it would be like in real flight, as I no longer break the plane when flying in realflight simulations. 😅
This plane flies great, and isn't "hard to fly", but it's fast, and you need to have a long enough runway to avoid issues. Good thing about it - hard surface takeoff, and grass landings are possible ;)
Habu SS 50mm would be a good entry to EDF's ( Habu bit.ly/3ci5eWD ), and loads less cash out of pocket...but HALF the experience of the Futura
@@BrianPhillipsRC Always thanks, Brian ;)
Hi Brian and camera girl 😂
Just want to say that you make the best tutorials on the RC planes and jets.
I’m looking at buying the fms futura v3 and I’m not a total newbie but I’ve not long stated flying planes, only small ones. Would you recommend this one and what settings would I need to change to make it a bit more easier to fly be stable. I really appreciate your time and you fly everything amazingly.
Regards Lee from England 🏴
LOL... sorry, I love your videos Brian, and you're responsible for much of my RC "addiciton" but I had to chuckle at 3:50. I thought for sure you were going to auto-level your new FUTURA straight into the ground.
Hahahaha “ ooh yea! Just doing my super ultra conservative fly by there”. Brian funny as hell
LOL yes ;)
That Spektrum battery is so far out of whack and balance it's embarrassing but not surprising, it's time that you all start using premium batteries at half the price with more performance like the SMC and Liperior brands. I just received my V3 Future yesterday and it's an amazing sport jet for the money, great job at highlighting and showcasing this amazing jet Brian and camera crew.
Smc a day liperior are brands that only exist in US
@@M4rkmcc21 There are literally tons of better brands that are cheaper, perform better, balance better and have better cycle life available worldwide, I just named those two since they're what I've personally tested and use. Rcgroups literally has an entire thread testing and discussing these different battery brands using scientific methods.
I use the liperiors and have proven thereself plus were helping our own economys. America hired 21 scientists for a new type of batt then they "gave" away the teck to the Chinese communists
I have a couple Liperior 5000 coming today for this. Hoping I don’t have to carve the hatch too much. Did yours balance a little closer to the back?
@@jameswarner5428 my 5000 wieghes 700g and its 1cm over the foam using only the front strap. If it was right up to the foam where the wood ends then it's just a tad tail heavy.
Super fast plane, you can't take your eyes off it for 2 seconds or you're in trouble.
you should try flying a Jet with FPV & head tracking. check out Blackstar FPV vids they are so good
I'm not into FPV, but have some of the gear...I just can't share it without a Part 107
Hi Brian. Looks like you need a thrust reversing ESC for that tight landing area. Love the Futura. I had a purple V1 and then a red V1. Excellent airplane. I’m pretty sure a V3 is in my future. How do you like the V3 compared to the Viper 90MM, (my all time favorite EDF) ?
I agree, that would be very nice!!!
Sadly I lost my Yak-130 today
It was a total loss of Control to a 911 total debris zone...
On to the Futura
So sad ;( Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope the Futura helps you lick your wounds.
Funny mine was at the front door a few minutes ago.
Nice videos Brian and co. Maybe u can do som durafly planes once in a while, that us regular humans can afford👍🏻😂 and u shoulda made that runway a bit longer perhaps
We did that years ago, and still have them published. If you can afford to fly Hobbyking products, you can afford to have FMS, Eflite, Arrows - they're all in the ballpark.
Not to beat you up, btw...but when you fly a hobbyking product, how often is it build and then go fly, and it's near flawless (Almost never, right???? They're more like Dynam style project planes....not as bad as Dynam, but in that echelon. Some are very good, and they do basically fly good, but it's not a hallmark of the company, like eflite or FMS. I've had maybe 4-5 total "bad" experienced with these two big brands...they just don't release bad options, even if they're 20-35% more expensive.
Now if you want to talk about cost...I remember spending a load of money FIXING my hobbyking planes ;) Granted, I was a WAY worse pilot back then, but if I factored that it, I'd be closer to the SAME price between competitive offerings.
Again, NOT to disparage Hobbyking, but it's products sometimes lack the "Finish level" of some of the "more expensive" planes.
Either way, we've "been there - done that" - and they did offer to work with us, btw, but we just don't want people to have bad experiences...that's also why we stopped doing Dynams.
@@BrianPhillipsRC well I have only to planes from hk, and they went together easy, and performs pretty good. So maybe they raised their bar, idk. Anyways it was just a suggestion. But I can hear u made up your mind and opinion some time ago.
have you a vidéo whit convergence ?i dont no how bind it
You mentioned the Futura is in your top 5 for jets. What are your top 5 jets?
Oh boy....I have no idea!!! I knew someone would ask ;)
Have you ever tried to bind a Eachine mini warbird to a Spektrum NX8?
It doesn't work. Wrong transmission protocol.
@@BrianPhillipsRC 😔
I've never flown an rc plane other than on a sim. However I do have a few years of rc helicopter experience and I'm fairly strong with 3d helicopter flight. Would this be too much for my first airplane?
I used Helicopters to get use to the maneuverability of the radio receiver, I think the helicopters are the most challenging and should help you smooth into jet flying.
Hi, may I know how this compares with the 80mm Bae hawk?
SUPER similar, but slightly more greasy in flight. Great landings and takeoffs, but less scale looking, BUT I love them both!
So which one do you like better, the Viper 90 or the Futura? Huge price difference between the two!
This is what I want to know. Wanted the Futura v2, the the viper 90 came out and everyone is raving about it….now there’s a Futura v3 and I’m like…what to do! Still leaning Futura….
The Futura 80mm is not in the same size or price class, but if you're on a budget and you want a Viper 90mm "experience" this plane will deliver!
Just keep in mind, Apples to Oranges ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC fair enough. Mentally I’m grouping them in a similar “performance class,” which is why I’m comparing them.
Its going so fast, looks like camera is having a hard time keeping up...loosing frames
Sounds great .. flies great…
But beauty is in the eye of the beholder… and she ain’t the prettiest.
But damn Brian…you live in Gods country. That piece of property you live on is absolutely beautiful
I used to think the same about this plane!!! It's crazy, now it's one of my favorites, and so is the BAE HAWK!!! I would have said, "it's ugly" about 9 years ago....but now - it's a drool fest - LOL - strange how the tables turn.
...Oh yeah, and they're both AMAZING planes. Good for "everyday" flying, but still SUPER-HIGH-PERFORMANCE!!! Also, both can do GRASS OPS!!! This is unusual, but the strong mounts and trailing link bogeys make this happen!
Being able to fly off of grass is definitely a great asset! As far as I know only the Futura and the Habu STS can reliably do it.
Now the hawk is a beautiful airplane! Still not sold on the futura though 😆
How does this compare to the Viper 90?
This plane is way more practical, and very small, in comparison, but very fun. Lights are not as amazing, but the gear are about as good, if you really pressed me...BUT...it's an apples to oranges comparison.
Apples - Oranges
Futura 80mm V3 vs Viper Jet 90mm
What I REALLY want to answer for you... Which is better - the 90mm FUTURA or the 90mm Viper Jet ;)
If you guys can see a BUG at that distance? you both have Krytonite Vision :)
LOL ;)
She's hotter than a two dollar pistol ! She' s the fastest thing around.....long and lean every young man's dream she turns every head around. Keep on Flying RC in the Free World !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian have you seen the latest Tailheavy Productions videos? They keep making fun of you for being so loud. Are you gonna clap them back?
I keep enjoying the free publicity - LOL - and they make good videos, so where's the harm? I think it funny!
My dilemma is this; e-flite Viper 70mm OR this FMS - Futura V3? (I'm a very experienced pilot so I want a thrill!)
Okay, very experienced pilot + wants the thrill - very TOUGH CALL - both are very good!!!
Futura 80mm is still an 80mm - It's a bigger, more intense flight performance, but it's not a LOT more, FYI
Viper 70mm is still smaller at 70mm, but adds BETTER value for BNF and Better functioning Thrust Reverse (if you like and want / need it, which I would)
I hate to do this [all the time], but the correct answer is BOTH!!!
If you HAD to get my vote, it would be Viper 70mm FIRST, then progress NEXT into the 80mm Futura - or just get both and tell your wife the company screwed up and sent both - LOL ;) (they're from different sites - LOL)
1) bprc.me/Viper (this one is a BNF, so you'll be ready to rock and roll)
THEN OR next...
2) bprc.me/FMS_Futura (remember it's a PNP, so you'll need an Rx too)

@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for taking the time to reply to me, you rock! Viper it is!

What was your first? This plane would be a GOOD choice, but might want to get the PNP and throw in an AR631 for best results, fyi ;)

Video coming soon on the new Xfly T-7A 80mm?
I wish we had better communication with X-fly .....they kinda X-Fly by the seat of their pants, so we don't really know what to expect and when to expect it....then we almost never hear from them at all??? It's like they just assume everyone will know about their stuff - but we don't hear about it, and we LIVE this hobby....sooooo?
@@BrianPhillipsRC Maybe a future video on addressing the cooling mods for the T7A? Seen some videos floating around on the 80mm already and looks like there are no changes for cooling sadly.
Set up some crow with that extra channel and you will get incredible flares.
It's a 6ch plane on a 6ch rx. No spare ch
@@M4rkmcc21 it is able to be set up that way, but not when you use the Reflex gyro on a pwm receiver. The mode switch on the gyro requires a channel. Spektrum uses "phantom channels" to do this on their gyro receivers, but the external gyro needs a dedicated channel for mode selection (or can be used in one mode without plugging that lead into a channel). They used an 8 channel receiver to set this up so they could use the Reflex gyro. That means the plane is set up with 7 used channels. That leaves an extra channel open to be able to put ailerons on their own channels. That allows for crow mixing. I hope this makes sense.
@@M4rkmcc21 also, you can use an SBUS receiver and really do some cool stuff. This plane has 2 flap servos, 2 Aileron servos, 1 rudder servo, 1 steering servo, 3 retracts, and 1 or 2 elevator servos. A person can put each of these on its own channel, which could mean up to between 10 and 12 usable channels.
@@cwwisk oh I know the plane mate this is my 2nd v3 and I have had 2 v2s. Awesome plane. Didn't watch the set up so I assumed he just used his regular 6ch RX.
I've been watching your videos,and you do a good review on them,but I never see you check the CG on them, do you use a gauge,do you flip it upside down that would be nice if you put that in the video, cuz every time I fly a new plane or even any plane I always check the CG make sure that it is a little nose heavy then tail heavily I'm just saying,for beginning Flyers the CG is very important if that is to tail heavy you'll be flying a 3D plane and you can maybe do it,and maybe I can but the new Flyers cannot, they'll destroy their plane in a second and you know that so,by adding that to your video that would help the beginning Flyers to do that more often, thank you and keep putting reviews up they help, I've been watching your videos since you were at your apartment and then you built a home I remember that, so I've been following you for a long time, or wait it was a townhome keep up the good work brother flyer you and your wife do a great job check out my UA-cam channel sla1er1, I have all my videos on there of me flying my planes and cars
This is the "MAIDEN FLIGHT(s)". We show all that on the "Unbox, Build, and Radio Setup" video. Once you have the CG located, you can make a maiden flight, and then make adjustments.
This plane would not be a great choice for the beginner RC pilot, in my opinion, but it's not too tough to prohibit many newER pilots from flying her with confidence.

Nice plane but the camera is wow how she does it fantastic.
Its a great plane, and a real nice price point. The livery is a little busy, but love the colors this time. I just dont like the profile. It looks chubby, and less than aerodynamic.
Its insane fast!! But also does slow flight well too! I love mine!!
Have the first generation of this plane in red . Great plane however bad color for me in the sky . I haven’t flown it for about two years simply because of the visibility issues
its so fast
Videos are great man but not gonna lie there’s way too much talking. Can’t hear how the plane sounds in 90 percent of these vids. I feel like the mic is picking up your voice very loud too. Other than that great flight.
Agree with you.
Good review but all the theatrical talking during the flight scenes is way tooo much ....
I turned the sound off and everything was fine :)
First comment once again, pin me?
Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel Lol 😂🤣🤣
