    Older video but I'm looking at this plane for my next and I like how you say you like doing touch and goes, me too! Thank you for an informative entertaining video!

      Glad it was helpful! You cannot go wrong with the Valiant. It is an all around great plane!

    It is scary how perfectly your channel matches my world. I finally got the courage to fly with flight assists off with my Carbon cub 2s and quickly went from wanting nothing more than long extended floaty flights (like a turkey vulture) to wanting the option to try new stuff knowing I can throw the safe switch if / when I get in over my head! (First rolls and loops this past week). I was hoping Horizon might have this one on a Memorial Day special though.. Also, I love those suggested updates (lights and tires).

      Yes the Valiant is by far the best second plane!!!

    I (re)learned to fly on a valiant. Re-learned mild 3d on it. I bought another valiant my LHS had. Swapped esc to a 60a avian, running 4s/2200 in it STOCK now, using an apc 11x5.5 propeller. It's fast, aerobatic, & is perfect on grass! YANKED THE 631 RX, using a normal AR620. Maxed throws. It came STOCK with a BL15 980kv motor.

      Well I am planning on an upgrade to mine. And I have a spare 60 avian ESC. Thanks for sharing that the motor can handle it.

      ​@Fat Guy Flies RC
      Motor (bl10, bl15) can handle up to 6s. 4s is plenty in a valiant. As an upgrade, I run the 880kv BL15 in my timber x (green) 60a avian, 4s. It's merely 4mm bigger than stock motor (bl10) in all the timber line.

    I agree 💯
    Horizon Hobby should make this 4s and install lights !!
    I couldn't count the flights I have on my first Valiant.
    I upgraded the ESC and had a blast on 4s.
    Was used when I got it. It's now retired.
    I have a NIB.
    For future flights if I decide too. .
    I Highly recommend you check out the Flying Tigers RC Transmitter Tray.

    the esc in the valiant is 3s-6s capable its stated on the esc itself

    • @FatGuyFliesRC

      True but I would not want to push it beyond a 4s lipo.

    Don't forget the top loader on the 4s v2. Rc hackers makes those short fat batteries, I think there drone batteries but there good. Trusted site.

    Yes please... a Valiant V2!
    Why don't you paint and mod your Valiant? Might turn out to be an inspiration for E-flite and HH. Besides, I bet a bunch of viewers besides me would like to see your improved Valiant.

      Actually it is on the project list.

    • @old-rcplane-phart
      @old-rcplane-phart Рік тому +1

      All it needs is an avian esc (stock 30a eflite esc) & swap the propeller.

    how does compare to the flying characteristics of the Turbo Timber Evolution?

    • @FatGuyFliesRC
      @FatGuyFliesRC  8 місяців тому

      Actually very comparable on 6s , now that I have also flown her on 4s she is much slower.

      @@FatGuyFliesRC I’m guessing you mean 3s instead of 6s?
