Pulled the trigger and bought myself the BNF version from Horizon this week !!! I Can't wait to get it. The airplane is really engineered well. I love how sturdy the control horns are and how much rigidity they built into the speedster. Great video. Really enjoy the level of detail you put into them.
love the Spaceballs intro! its one of my favorite movies
love the size,speed and the landing gear,should be a fun one! Thanks for the great video Rich!
Man that prop looks deadly. What switch do you use to kill throttle? I use switch A to keep my fingers when I handle a live plane.
This is a wicked looking plane. Has to be one of my favorite releases from Horizon Hobby.
It is bad to the bone!
Beautiful sleek design Cuts through the air like razor Nice video
Thank-you for such a informative unbox,built ,and setup video !
Excellent work is always Rich! I like your level of detail!!!
this kind of reminds me of a MUCH better version of the old Freewing Moray. something about 5yrs ago, i wanted a pylon racer and the Freewing Moray was low cost and seemed to fit what i wanted. it wasnt terrible for what it was, but it really didnt like doing anything except full throttle. anyways, this seems like a MUCH better version of it, from Eflite and the quality seems so much better. i havent flown my Moray in about 4yrs because i jsut really didnt like it. this on the other hand, this seems nice and i might actually go ahead and get one.. that being said, my old Parkzone P-51D Gunfighter that i have upgraded is a BEAST and will probably give this thing a run for its money. lol
Damn that locks to be a great seller !! Definitely gone look more close on this one !! Love the speed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks
Great review The plane is awesome in all aspects Thanks PS Many happy landings!
Hey
Great video.
I got a question, have mine almost ready for maiden. Just some controlls are off.
Exactly the throw of the aileron and elevator are 2-5 mm off. All is centered and alined. With dual rates on it also is to little throw. In the manual it should be 2 or 3 mm more. Any idea what to do?
Should I fly it like that?
It's my First plane of that kind. Thanks a lot
i put some Lock tite on the screws for the wing.
Rich. Excellent presentation and review. Eflite keeps getting better. Love that they are incorporating the SMART tech in these planes for those of us who like that. 👍👍. Did I see a cooling fan on that ESC? Is that on the BNF? Thanks for sharing. Good stuff Bud. 😎
Yes, they put the fan on for additional cooling... Yes. BNF! It's a great flying model... It's very easy to fly but a little challenging to land smoothly... but I like the challange:)
Hope you can make it to the live V1200 Q&A tomorrow at 5pm eastern:)
RCINFORMER .... Look forward to it Rich. 👊
The shelf liner is actually better than Velcro? (I'm old, been n2 rc for decades. I'm set in MY ways.)
It's personal preference. I don't like having velcro all over my lipos.
@@RCINFORMER
I agree! 👍
Then having to struggle against the Velcro on a tight fitting battery is troublesome!
Any word on if it’s possible to hand launch and grass land with gear up? I know this might just be a tad to heavy to do so but my field has tall grass and a gear down takeoff would be tough to pull off. Great review by the way! Much appreciated!
Great flying and review as usual Rich! cheers
whats with the humps on the gear doors? at 140, im sure they are modifying air flow in a most unfavorable manner
Wow Rich that thing is lighting fast!!!! Seems like a nice bang for your buck!
Elevators are for takeoff, landing, and slow - flight
shelf liner ? - is that a non-skip type of surface that will provide grip ?
any details you can provide about the shelf liner product?
you know what ive noticed about control rods that have to go through a tube? they bind up on me. im not sure why, but it happens. i have used a drop of Hoppes gun oil and it stops it from happening. its something weird ive noticed and it might just be something that happens with me because that is just how my luck goes, but i figured i would mention it if someone else is having similar issues.
Probably corrosion from moisture...
@@RCINFORMER its possible. its VERY possible. it does get pretty humid here. not as bad as Florida, but im in NC and it does get up there sometimes. plus, the grass is wet sometimes and im sure that gets in somewhere and starts to corrode the control rod. either way, i use Hoppes gun oil and it seems to really help with it. if i do it once, it tends to not need it again for the life of the model.
That's some sick background music!
Is it difficult to fly? I've never flown an rc plane before but I want to learn. I just run rc cars and trucks
Pretty cool, but pricey, a better option and more affordable would be the Conscendo Evolution, I put a speed prop on mine and upgraded the ESC, on a flat run was able to get 129 mph, verified by a on board GPS, in a dive the GPS showed 156 mph.....
More affordable yes. Better option no.
What brand shelf liner do you use?
No specific brand... just use one that has a little bit of compression & one that seem tacky to you.
Can you race this plane on a 3 pole course?
I don't see why not:)
Where can I get those handy CG stickers?
Hobby King!
@@RCINFORMER thanks for the quick reply!
Thanks Great Video.
I love it !!
Let’s Go to..... LUDICROUS SPEED RICH!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hot plane!!!
This is fast =)
Oooooooooooo me likey!
140+ mph and still running foam hinges? For $329? Glad they spared no exspence! Accident waiting to happen!
The hinges are laminated...
Looks nice, but I for one won't be buying it due to Horizons ongoing awful customer service. I have also just witnessed yet another example of a Horizon employee insulting and attacking one of their customers over on RCGroups in the v1200 thread. I have never seen anything like it.
You’re telling me I watched a video for propeller removal just for you not to show it
Phillips hardware? Why do plane manufacturers still use crappy hardware? When possible, I swap out the garbage screws for HEX head hardware. Don't EVER have to worry about stripped heads!
Nothing screams "cheap" like phillips hardware! 😬
If you don't mind dumping hundreds down the rabbit hole then this is for you! Like the V900, there will foam snow all over the flight-lines of America. Don't waste your money on a high dollar Smart battery as it's gonna burn up when you stuff this thing in the dirt.
To much negatively:)
@@RCINFORMER It is not about negativity, it is about objectivity. RCINFORMER I am sure that everyone enjoy your channel, I do. You do excellent videos, very informative and professionally looking , but ... , everything is so rosy and sugar coated that it feels like you work for Horizon Hobby to influence people to do an emotional purchase.
@@fredricblack9393 B I N G O !
Don't project your limited flying skills on everyone else.
@@meazy451 Maybe you can share how did you evaluate my flying skills?
