Got the Spitfire a year or more ago, bound it to my Zorro, great fun with ya mates dog fighting, (Manual mode). Handles vertical landings well, (very light), Servos' are weak though, strip easily.. Need Hi-vis props, (Very hard to find when they pop off mid air). The ELE and RUD servo's are part of the Receiver/Stab board.. Chuck the wheels in the bin..
Although you may not have been able to tell in the wind, intermediate mode allows a greater bank angle than novice mode. The aerobatic function is not an automatic manoeuvre. It's a momentary inhibit of the gyro and should be on a momentary switch. You press the button / flip the switch and you can then start a roll. Before the roll is completed the gyro is back on and the roll finishes perfectly horizontal. It will roll left or right, you choose. As you have seen you can loop in intermediate mode, but not roll without the aerobatic button inhibiting the gyro. Regarding expert mode, my P51 and T28 were unflyable in expert mode until Alexis worked out that full down trim was needed first. I surmise that they are trimmed "nose up" but the gyro offsets that in novice and intermediate mode - maybe this helps them automatically climb away at launch. Anyway, with full down trim, both of mine fly in expert mode.
Just discovered your channel and subbed Andrew. Thanks for showing how to use it on a multi protocol transmitter. Interesting. I have all of these except the Trojan currently and have repainted my Zero acrylic light grey (vids on my channel too if interested). I find the ret-to-home function normally does a partial turn then stops lol but to be fair is not something most people would use. But the aerobatics (aero) button is perfect and the self-leveling is great, very clever tech, and makes for stress-free flying, and that is the main point of these little foamies. Expert mode is best tried on a non-windy day and is certainly possible but not a lot of fun, more of a fight. I prefer Mid mode which is lively and allows loops and you can go into expert mode to roll if you wish or use the aero button. Beginner mode prohibits rolls and loops manually, so you have to use the aero button then but I also use this a lot for stress-free flying. The plane can develop as the flyer does. I enjoy flying these on windy days now so as to get them to hover or fly backwards, or go really fast the other way lol. On a non-windy day their scale max speed is mach 1.1 (29mph) as I make these 1/28th scale approx, as best as I can work out. I've carried an 11 gram camera. Of course I have crashed many times due to the risks I take to get a shot but the planes just dust themselves off and get back up - awesome. I've hit my camera getting close shots many times, and flown very low to the ground doing stunts but you can take that risk with these. I recommend these as they are great planes in their own special way, and will bring a smile to your face. Cheers from the UK - Laurie.
Good video, can you help me? Can you tell me what colour are the motor wires ? You can see then in the battery compartiment ( they go to center airplane to motor) It is very important to me .THANKS.
The Kiwi Brooster FPVed his Mini P-51 about 2 years ago, Andrew. (22nd June 21) The little All-in-1 cameras all work quite well on single cells. It'll be interesting to see how this 1 does fare when it comes up against the real Flying Tigers and Furious Browns in that long grass! 😱😉 I'd give the grandkids some brightly coloured Textas and let them paint those props some technicolours. Makes 'em SO much easier to find when they pop off! That camo job can be hard to see against normal tropical green also. But all these Volantex V761 planes are brilliant little toys - and no Gubmint Graft either! 😊
Great demonstration Andrew! Those Tiny Planes are a lot of fun and so darn durable. Sure makes a difference with a good transmitter ;-) See you in the Air!
A nice fun park flyer. Personally would like to see bit larger version (600-900mm) so a bit more stable for manual flight. Having the gyro function is a nice beginner feature, but would add value if could fly manual too. For camera, the Thumb might work? Would need to rig up power from battery to camera via Y-connector (1S, 4.2V into 5V) but recording might cut out if voltage gets to low.
Aerial Waviator, there is a "manual" non-gyro mode. On the original transmitter, "mode" is a 3 position switch. Novice, Intermediate and Expert. No gyro in expert mode. OpenTX is able to activate all three modes. My Eachine warbirds "go mad" when switched into expert mode. However with full down trim fed in before hand, both of mine are flyable. I surmise that they are trimmed strongly "nose up" but the gyro offsets that in novice and intermediate mode - maybe this helps them automatically climb away at launch. Anyway, with full down trim, both of mine fly in expert mode.
No. It really is at the edge of its ability, here in this video. It's obviously too small and too lightweight. Give yourself a decent sized item to give your brain a decent experience. Be reasonable. It's small scale flying.
Yep, these are brilliant little toys and capable of being enjoyed by folks of all skill levels. You will see them on the channels of all the real hobbyists at flying clubs/fields all over the world. (Well unless they're of the "Gold Cadillac owners only need apply/I've been flying for 99years and know everything that you need to know/ Look at Moi! look at Moi!" breed!😉)
No need to take much notice of the other commenter here. A quick look at his channel content will let you know all that you need to understand about his mental state! 😱🙄😉
@@AndrewNewton Actually some of the latest iterations of the V761 planes now come with a flight board with DSM and S-bus satellite sockets. The V2 versions of the Corsair and P-51 certainly do, but some folks have said that their stock Txs from others in the series now beep if you turn off the plane first - an indication that the telemetry features for signal and low battery warning from the V2 planes may be becoming available on newer shippings of the other models in the series. Suck and see. If the S-bus socket is available then the FS-i6X and an A8S receiver would work quite well.

Thanks Richard. You're 100% correct.
Muito bom , pequeno mas eficiente!
Awesome as always Sir Andrew! Greets from Columbus, Ohio USA!
Yo Ho Ohio!
You’ll love the FMS 1100mm version if you like this one. I might get this one as well

Darn Gubmint
Is it a bad idea to set a flap switch on the back? Would work the same as the front flaps..
This model doesn't have flaps
Bravo.thenks
Great review thanks so much for showing how to set up. Cheers
You are the greatest 💗 Andrew
Cute little plane and a great flying site👍. Are you allowed to mow the grass ?
Haha, would need a tractor and agricultural slasher
Great demonstration Andrew! Those Tiny Planes are a lot of fun and so darn durable. Sure makes a difference with a good transmitter ;-) See you in the Air!
I try to resist them but they are such fun little planes.

Thumb might be too draggy, but the little FPV cams will be OK

That looked like a lot of fun! There is no way I would ever try flying it at a sloping site, mind! 😄
Yes it's a bit tricky
@@AndrewNewton I think between you and the stabilisation, the little Zero acquitted itself very well.
Cool little airplane 😺
No.

what amount of throws did you get out of the box? I got 45 deg aileron throw, + 5 deg - 20 Deg elevator, 30 deg rudder......unflyable
Same, flies OK in stabilised modes. Need to reduce the rates a lot for Manual. I have done a video on it.
@@AndrewNewton Another vid. nice. what is the link to it.
@@AndrewNewton Nice...is there a link to the video. Ailerons need reduction....elevator, mine at least, I need to greatly increase.
@@dwkach
link added to the description now
Can i bind this to my FlySky i6X with AFHDS 2A protocol ?
No, different protocol
@@AndrewNewton thank you 👍

from zero to flying in just a bind ;)
Able to sly small planes with a single bind!
You should show viewers the throws you used on the surfaces. No info in manual about this.
👍💪✌️
