I wish you would have flown some regular flight paths so we could see how a beginner would fly it and how forgiving the plane is on flight. But your ability to push the plane to its limits is amazing. I had to say that because the guidelines say to be respectful. Lol.
martin if you want to remove anything from hot glue use ipa or alcohol ,give it alitlle wiggle and some time and the servos will come off in no time . Happy flying PS now that I have seen this video I will start building my trenches f3p foamy that its in my modelling selfve for maby 7 years! my bad...
Martin, denatured alcohol will remove anything stuck by hot glue quickly and easy, with no mess and no harm to any airframe. 👍🏻 is there a gyro in the plane?
I just purchased the edge 5 40 39" foamy From your videos I think I can get all the upgrades Dolby upgrades but I did not see what battery used and is there any way you could give me a complete setup Maybe rough positioning of the battery and such Thanks so much love your videos insane flying
Hello Martin have watched this a few times as I have ordered one what glue are you using and you spray something also what is that.. I appreciate your advice thank you
Hey Buddy. Love your videos. I've learn a lot from you. Got a question. Referring to the exact same purple airplane in this video. Twisted Hobbies suggests a 3s 1000 to a 1300mah. battery for it. Has anybody flown this airplane on a 3s 850mah battery, and if so, what would be the average flight time. Just sport flying. No hovering or hard 3D. Could you please tell me if you know. THANKS.
Always enjoy your videos, but I might disagree with calling this foamy "cheap". I'm in the US and the airframe is $119 from Twisted Hobbies. The DS95 servos are $78.50 each from MKS Servos USA. So you are looking at $433 USD before the power system is purchased. Ouch! I would have to stick with lesser servos but then I wouldn't be able to fly like you.......😉
The hi-v Corona servos with metal gears are about 7-10 bucks and I swear by them. I feel like for a foamy, spending more than 15 bucks on servos is wasting the money.
Hi Martin another great video, Paul Gosling suggested I get in touch with you regarding the RealFlight 9 set up, I am getting some weird mixing going on that’s not programmed into my CORE, any chance you can post your Core set up and the RF9 set up, I am not on any social media, so apologies for HiJacking this video!!! Thanks in advance.
Hi Martin, just discovered your channel. Do you have any preference between the profile foamies you've flown? I was looking at the Hacker SUpreme, but these RC Factory models are similar.
Heh, that one will handle absolutely insane wind, love the Edge v3. When the wind picks up, you can kite it in one spot, or hover and torque roll as you drift across the field :-) I do recommend larger wheels than stock if you're landing on grass, 2.5" wheels work much better.
I’m not Martin but I have a plane like that. At that size they use a 2212-1050kv brushless, on a 30A ESC, 10x4.7 APC propeller. They’re all in the RC Factory page for the plane, you can look it up. Safe flying, buddy.
Man my edge 540 is a rocket ship compared to this one. So much power, and I’m using the standard power combo from twisted Hobbys with an 11 inch prop. Why is mine so much more powerful? I wish mine was like this where I could use the full throttle range without shooting off like a missile. Maybe try propping it down?
So, I haven't looked too much, but where can I find a simulator that will help me learn the remote control functions? I'd love to learn without crashing right off the bat!
Real flight 9 , or used Phoenix rc simulator. Horizon makes real flight and it has all the new planes out and old ones. Great for practice and learning. Worth the buy.
Im looking to get my first TH plane to learn more 3d flying. Looking at the 39" models specifically and i cant make up my mind, i like the 39" super extra L, edge 540 v3, or 39" crack yak.
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC went with the edge 540 v3, I have a sunny sky 2216 1100kv motor, will just a regular 30a esc be fine? Also what servos do you recommend, I saw the csp 14g servos on th site but I was trying to find a cheaper alternative
Yes, the only problem is scaling down the weight in the same proportion as the wingspan… you need extremely light equipment and materials to make a foot long version with similar wingloading
Good afternoon friend, can you please tell me the center of gravity of this sparkling wine? I can not find it, thank you very much for your prompt response, greetings from Cali Colombia
Hi Felipe, the hole is a little too small for the battery, so it holds it in place without need for any other fixings. Its important to store the model without battery when not flying so the foam “bounces back” and doesn’t adapt to the size…
Hello, very good job, here you have in addition to like another subscriber ... I have a question, I have this model in question and I do not know where to place the battery so that it does not fly away .. with other models that I have it is always tied inside the fuselage, could you give me some light some advice? Thanks and good job.
Hello Martin! Cool flight! As I can see this video was grabbed on two fields, ALA and CAT. Am I right? Where do you fly usually? It is hard to find a good 3D company here in Valencia )
Sorry Martin, for a profile foamy, your idea and mine regarding"cheap" differ! Especially when you add servos costing more than £50.00 each to the pudding. For you, as a world class pilot, that's probably OK. But the majority of club guys that I fly with could spend that sort of money on something much more cost-effective, and still have lots of fun! (Used to be- the building was also part of RC models. Building with some pieces of Depron would result in something costing a fraction of what you're paying for this.)
Hi James, I totally see your angle. As mentioned in the video, my replacement servo choice is very much over the top, and for most is totally unnecessary. That aside, with the stock gear it is a relatively inexpensive model considering the fun it can provide. The stock setup uses almost no-brand gear so is as cheap as you can get for the size... The airframe is more expensive than Depron, but take into account your time to cut, paint and build a Depron model (I have been there too!), calculate it a couple of times as Depron usually doesn't "bounce back" too well, and it isn't that much different... Either way, as long as it flys and you can have fun with it, doesn't matter what size, material or brand it is, just go fly. Happy landings!
Hi Martin. Great video and flying, as always. I do have a question... I have a similar plane like the one in this video and I can't seem to keep it from torque rolling during hovers. All the trims are good and the airframe is straight. Any ideas? Thanks : )
Are you running massive high rates on your ailerons? They need all the deflection they can get in a hover as there is only prop wash available to work with
@@Coops777 Hi, yes all that I fly it on is high rates. I have a lot of 3D planes and this is the only one that is like this. As always, some right aileron is needed, but on this plane it takes full deflection most of the time. I am kind of thinking about changing prop size/prop pitch?
@@og_myxiplx Doesn't the extra throttle make it torque roll even more to the left? I haven't had the chance to try it out on my problem plane yet though.
@@drakkorvladimir4012 I'm not an expert, but there seems to be a balance there with many models. A quick burst of throttle gives you much more authority on the controls. In a hover it's only the prop that's creating the airflow after all.
hola, muy buen trabajo, aquí tienes además de like otro suscriptor... tengo una pregunta, tengo este modelo, en cuestión y no se donde colocar la batería para que no se salga en vuelo.. con otros modelos que tengo va siempre atada en el interior del fuselaje, podrías darme algo de luz algún consejo?
Hola Fran, en los corchos, siempre hago un recorte en el fuselaje vertical, ligeramente más pequeño que la batería. Así, meto la batería en ese hueco y queda atrapado por la elasticidad del corcho. Antes de cortar, haz un vuelo o dos con la batería colocada con cinta donde crees que debe ir, de forma que te permite encontrar la posición perfecta, antes de cortar.

£280 worth of servos really quick but not for the average modeler Martin
how have you secured your lipo?. the instructions dont give any details
I cut a hole in the fuselage, a little too small the the lipo, and just jam it in there...

Too erratic, no finese.
I am betting he could make a gyro catch on fire trying to keep up with his maneuvers.
I've just ordered myself one of these, now if only I could buy your flying skills too. LMAO! More seriously, the fun is in the journey of learning.
btw, hot glue comes detaches super easily with alcohol. It leaves no trace. Let it dry for a minute and glue back in.
You are producing amazing videos, thank you very much!

I’m so glad I’m subscribed to your channel!!! You’re a beast my guy!!! That flying was incredible!!!
MKS DS 95 is $78 each . Its Very expensive for cheap foamy plane LOL
Yeah, I can't argue there... lol
That little servo cost more than the plane😊
Do u use a floggt controller ?
I see the pane doing 3D moves and u are not crashing. Awesome skills 👏
Genius at work!!:-) its a pleasure to watch all your videos Martin... keep doing them
Looked like you enjoyed the flight as well,i thought you was going to smack the ground with it....awsome flying thanks for sharing. 👏
mad skills, you'd push the absolute limit of any foamy!
Thanks! Thats what they are there for! Fearless pushing! =)
I know
I have one and it has not broken yet su_26 from parkzone
$ 140.00 for just the foam,,, not likely
Please kindly specify your motor, esc battery and propeller, many thanks in advance

very flying man. If that was the 2212 motor, I can't believe people writing "these are too weak" you should go with the 2217/1170kv lol.
The problem is that the provoded prop is indeed too weak... needs to use the other prop that I mention in the video, it changes the power radically..
Martin Pickering thx for the reply. I got the 2217/1170 coming for my Revolto. Gonna try to use my existing 4s batteries. Trying 9x4 apc props first.
Quadcopterguide sounds good! Should be a fun plane that one, looks nice!
Divertido vuelo Martín saludos .

Very true! Yeah, I fly from basically carpet so wheels are find, I would guess that when from grass best is just to hand launch it anyway,,,
Sad when they make airplanes fly like helicopters
Its ok, we make helicopters fly like airplanes too hehe

Yeah, sounds like you are running too much pitch, probably increase the diameter and drop the pitch, will become way more manageable
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRCso go with something like a 12 inch prop with less pitch? Am I understanding correctly? Thank you!
Excellent. I’d probably need to upgrade my thumbs, and brain, before I’d benefit from those super fast servos.

So you get paid for this right? and sponsored?

Super glue/ cyani will do miracles. I had the same a few times with it. Add some carbon rods if it doesnt stay straight
Is there any build videos of this
Those servos cost like 4 times the plane
Do not use a heat gun to remove the servos. Hot glue comes off very easily with isopropyl alcohol.
And it doesn't affect the foam?

*The Wing alignment - do you have any tips on this. With this class of plane, particularly with the airfoil shape it's a real crunch point of the build. With balsa and the 32" foamies you don't think about this
*How does this fit into the foamy food chain. Is it the perfect mid point say between the 32" MXS/Crack Yak the TH Veloxity?
*What was your final flying weight?
Lastly in addition to your fantastic flying I've always been a great admirer of your positive attitude and enthusiasm. It's a joy to watch. Many thanks in advance for your answers.
-Wing alignment is quite easy as "forward-backward" there are notches in wing and fuselage that align so you can't get it wrong. "up-down" is also relatively simple as the fattest part of the wing is same thickness as the fuselage, so you can tack that part in and then just need to eye ball the rear of the wing, but given the thickness it is quite easy to get right.
-This foamy kind of fits in as "not a foamy", flies more like a proper plane as starts to have some weight to it and wants to fly, not just float. Haven't tried the Veloxity yet.
