Thanks for all of your support and feedback!
It is nice to see that you guys are doing reviews again! That is the reason for me to watch your videos! Thanks!
Really enjoyed seeing Josh Scott and his young man on this episode guys :)
Great work guys. Always look forward to flitetest shows during the week.
Reviews like this are the reason for me to watch FliteTest. Keep em coming guys! 👍🏻
I absolutely love your guys videos!!! Ive been flying an Apprentice and some modded cubs and was thinking of getting this exact plane! Thank you soooo much for what you do! I look forward to each new FliteTest episode.
Happy to see a new review video. I am beginning to build more, but it's nice to hear your thoughts on the stuff I can pick-up in the store as well. Entertaining and informative as always. Thanks guys.
Love the reviews and I appreciate the mix you provide. Great work as always!
Happy new year Flitetest!
i bought this plane about 2 months ago and i love it im right around intermediate but it makes me look a bit better than i really am and you guys are awesome
I'm glad to see you back to what you do best: showing us sweet model aircrafts :)
I was a little boring with all these ImmersionRC/Fatshark advertisings!
Anyway, great flight performance as usual! Mr. Bixler was on fire on this one lol
Welcome on board to Logan ;)
Happy flying
Looks like the flight line grass has recovered nicely, the build tent and vendor areas have a way to go yet. Many thanks to the Furey family letting us come and stomp all over their home!!
Thanks for the terrific vids. I've been watching for years and I want to get back in the hobby. I've been out for a good while but now y'all have given me the want to to fly again.Thanks and keep up the good work! J.W.F.
Love reviews and challenges! Thanks guys.
I have on of these, and switched out the Rx before ever taking it up in the air (Orange Futaba Rx). It still flies beautifully, and honestly I'm happy I don't have to worry about AS3X taking control of the plane. You don't have to worry about oscillation when switching from 3D maneuvers to speed/precision acrobatics either. The SAFE/AS3X stuff is really cool, but there should really be an "OFF" mode for advanced pilots!
I wish they had offered a Plug-and-Play version, but after selling the Rx on eBay I came out about where I would have anyways.
Thanks for the great videos. You guys do great reviews, so it's nice to see you getting back to them. The other videos are cool, but a review every week or two would be nice.
Your videos are always great. I always watch the newest one when it comes out😎
I love that you guys are doing more videos again but it seems you have not done a challenge in a while. Just a fun idea, thank you :)
Love the reviews. Keep them coming! Good job
I love watching you guys.
The Info is outstanding and your having FUN.
Thank you
Please keep them coming.
I have about 30 flights already on mine and it still looks brand new! I fly everything from ultra micro helis and airplanes up to 90mm edf jets and 700 size cp helis. 30 aircraft in my hanger and NO 3d planes until this one! I bought it because I love all the new spektrum receivers with AS3x and SAFE. I own several of each. And I use a Spektrum DX18 with all of my aircraft. I'm so glad I bought this plane instead of the 48" 3D hobby shops edge. Mainly because after a few flights I can honestly say the panic button (oh crap button) has saved me more than 5 good crashes. And crashes that would have destroyed a balsa plane. I have now learned waterfalls, harriers upright and inverted, hovering, flat spins inverted and upright. And my personal favorite the wicked knife edges! With more and more flights of learning 3d flogging with this wicked little plane I gain more and more confidence and look forward to buying a pretty new 3d hobby shop bird. Top notch for learning 3d and staying in the air flying! Super durable!!!!
Well done guys !! Great to see a great review
Am glad I stumbled with this episode, just acquired this airplane second hand and was freaked out about the noisy servos.
Turns out they are digital servos and make that sound, its normal after all.
This airplane is very subtle for a low wing, can go from a docile ship to a full 3-D show when ready to do so. The one thing I recommend is strengthen the landing gear a little, place rubber spacers on the sides of the legs, and some foam glue between the foam and the plastic landing support to prevent play.
Really enjoyed this one. FPV and quads aren't really my thing so it's good to see these sorts of episodes. I especially like to see how Josh Scott gets on with it as someone quite new to the hobby like myself.
Great job on returning to reviewing planes, much more fun than watching state of the art quads do stuff, great job guys, welcome back!!!
Amazing! Thanks for listening to our needs and as usual, great review !!!!
Now this is Flite Test! Great episode. Had the great content along with the entertainment value that you guys can always bring. Like the new views and awesome review of the plane. Can't wait for the next video, that's the feeling that I want after watching any episode of FT!
Thanks for watching supraman78 !
Now this is plane racing!
I just bought the sukhoi after a break from models of about 20 years. it is flying awesome. I can't believe how far this foam electric stability technology has come. one point however, in stagility mode the plane has a very disconcerting bump down every time the sticks are neutralised. I'm going to try precision mode next flying session, like you suggested in the vid, can't wait.
No preference from me for what you should do next,as i'm more than happy watching what ever you boys put out.
Just keep up the good work and content and i'll keep watching.
Thanks startazz for being a part of this great community:)
Great review guys. Also excellent work by the quad pilot.
you guys are awsome! just bought this bird and waiting for the weather to improve. keep up the good work
Another great review guys! I have GOT to get this one.
Thanks for doing a good ole fashioned review. Loved it.
I'm still loving my FT3D, but this looks like a possible Spring 2015 purchase. :)
Thanks for an awesome show! Thanks for being awesome.
Ok, so it isn't a spring purchase. A local hobby shop gave me a great deal on one, so I bought it.
Setup with the DX9 was a bit awkward and I almost lost it on maiden.
Now that I have it all setup, she's a great plane! I really enjoy flying it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get into 3D.
Reasons why I don't watch your videos as much as I did in the beginning:
-a lot less builds
-you don't do as many funny challenges (that such fail sometimes and then be revisited)
-too much quad-stuff
-not enough relevant content for the pilot that can fly dollartree airplanes and the bixler, but want to take a step further (aka me)
-and also, I miss davids crazy projects!
-You guys probably heard this a 1000 times, but when are you going to sell lasercut foam kits from europe or just figure out a way too ship them cheaper? :) I will probably always be a fan of you because flitetest is like pizza, even if it sucks, it still pretty good! THANK YOU, from Lasse in Denmark!
Great video. Big fan of HH products. Also, very happy to see the Furey's grass isn't too horribly trashed after FF.
Thanks, i love the lets flys, but it was time for a review and maybe a challenge or two... Nice work!
This plane is so incredibly stable!! I've had mine for almost a year now, and actually won a Fun Fly competition at our local flying club with it. The challenge was to take off, go around the pattern once and land with a cup of water strapped to the top. Whoever landed with the most water left wins. I landed with almost a full cup!! The trick was I took off and kept the plane in a level flat turn. I only ever fly it in Precision Mode. I need to use the assisted 3D mode more. The Stagility, I've found, is almost useless unless you want the plane to fly away! With the old DX7 Tx, the gear switch is your "Oh Crap!" switch. Never take off with that on!! I absolutely LOVE this plane and HIGHLY recommend it to any intermediate pilot wanting to transition into 3D. Worth every penny!!!
Hi Drum1805, Ive just bought this plane but haven't flown it yet.....what do you mean by "The Stagility, I've found, is almost useless unless you want the plane to fly away! " ?
What rates & expo do you recommend?Thanks
I got this plane for my birthday last weekend. (Finally!!) It's been on my since it came out. LOVE this bird!!! Great flyer!!!
So far so good. It's a 2200 3S all the way forward. I haven't flown it with Snoopy in yet, but it's ready. Love the way this thing flies!!
Great review, thanks guys!!!!
Hey guys I Love the content you bring to the channel its Realy cool Keep The Good Work!
Nice Review guys. I have had a few issues with this plane and some advice.
1: The Panic mode on the DX6i doesn't seem to work properly. Trainer switch does nothing. Seems to be a somewhat common issue from the forum posts I've seen.
2: With a DX6i you are limited to 2 modes at a given time (no 3 position switch)
3: I had one issue over this weekend. I checked all flight control surfaces prior to takeoff, but at about 100 feet off the ground I lost pitch and ailerons. Nursed her back, checked everything, and found nothing wrong. Relaunched and she worked fine.
4: The latch for the cockpit doesn't work all the time. Be careful if your putting a camera in there. You may want to have a secondary means of holding the cockpit on.
5: like the manual says, "Stagility and 3D modes to low speeds." I don't know if the ASX3 responds differently on different airplanes, but mine wants to pitch down quite aggressively at higher speeds in stagility mode.
6: Moving the battery back to the back of the battery/ESC chord bay gives more elevator authority in Precision made. Makes landings much cleaner.
All in all she seems to be a pretty solid airplane. So far mine has survived a crash in a tree and a few hard landings. Contrary to some forum posts I think the gear does really well with grass, but I would get some Du-bro 3" wheels or something similar.
Any suggestions on binding with a DX6i? I tried calling parkzone / Horizon, but was on hold and decided to go fly!!!
Awesome plane. Knife edge was beautiful
Bixler's shining moment:)
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT (WHY) I NEVER HAVE TO GO ANY WHERE ELSE.U HAVE IT ALL.
i took out the AR636 SAFE receiver and put in a AR400 and it has a tendency to stall alot when large throw of the elevator is given, it also drops the wings as well. but i love the vertical power and hovering is very easy even with out the gyros.
I got mine too. Unfortunately the Canopy Clip was not glued properly so at the first flight it came off and ripped the right site of my Elevator. Thanks to the SAFE i could land with the loose left side only. Great Plane!
Great flying guys
Nice plane. Thanks for the practical review.
As soon as I saw Peter do the flat turns I knew this would be my next plane.
Yea! We got to see Josh Scott again! Nice crash, but nice flight and landing!
I appreciate you do reviews again, liked this vid.
Being german I'd like to have Josh B. talk a BIT slower, I understand the others quite well, but with Josh B. 'MachineGunSpeed' I often get lost :-(
I'd love to see more on gliders. An episode about 4 flap glider(s), showing the basics of differential, camber/reflex, snapflap, quadro, crow, etc, how and why these are programmed, used and tuned in flight would be of interest.
And as many others I miss David.
Keep up your good work, greetings from Germany, Wolfgang
OH....I like the FPV Cockpit view. Now I'm gonna have to cut up my canopy and stick a camera in there! Great review and vid. I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and have about 25 flights on it. Such a nice plane to play 3D with and that Oh Crap button sure lets me get low and aggressive. Wish you would have done a low pass like the Delta Ray video. This SU-26 does an incredible snap roll to level out. Just keep the power on and it will work. SAFE doesn't bring it to perfectly level but close enough to recover and keep on flying.
Stock CG with a 2200 was too far forward for me. Nose kept dropping like in your video so I brought the battery further back til it was perfectly level at 75% throttle. I'm using a 3300 which flies for 9-10 mins with mixed 3D and Precision mode.
I liked the Visionaire much better for learning 3D but this Sukhoi with precision mode lets me get speed runs and handles much better in high winds. Now it's time to FPV it!
Cool review guys! You guys really respect and pay attention to your community, but you have to remember, most of what you are going to see is negative feedback, while very few people leave positive feed back. I liked seeing the the episodes from the European meet up and all the multirotor stuff. I think sometimes that you take feedback a little too quickly. But either way, i always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks for your input Sherman. I agree that it is best to take feedback but always filter through the "big picture". For an example, there will be lots of comments like "why don't you guys fly quads anymore?" "we want more lets flys" etc on this very video. We get hundreds of bits of feedback every day and we do our best to aggregate that into something that is useful and helpful. Cheers!
Exactly!! Haha. Thanks for the reply. :P
great video guys love flite test
Great review guys!
Thanks for watchin:)
Thanks you guys for also putting the metric measurements in the specs! (although, the wing area could/should be in sq cm rather than decimeters. dm is hardly ever used although it is a completely valid denotation. Which is weird from a linguistic point of view. Decimeters are not used in the decimal system =)
Nice review. I like them and your honest opinions. Keep up the good work.
I love this show, I can't wait for the new episode.
I dont know what it is about this plane, maybe its the SAFE system or something, but watching it fly is just really enjoyable. It just looks right in the air, and looks right while its flying. Awesome piece of kit.
Thanks guys for reviewing some over the shelf planes again! Criticism: If foam&tape is going to keep being a part on screen he should really work on his presence. I don't think he looked at the camera for longer than a second the entire video, or maybe he didn't know he was being filmed :P
i asking that you consider doing these few things 1: hire someone the is a highly skilled 3d pilot 2: have him help you with 3d/aerobatic so you can connect more with people that want to fly 3d but dont know were to start 3: can you do a series on 3d maneuvers and tips just something to think about
It looks like the grass is growing nicely after the traffic from Flite Fest!
Good work FT! Nice plane and I certainly miss that runway/flying field.
Thanks again for all your hard work!
FliteTest
my pleasure!
this is definitely going on the wish list
Thank for the vid guys!!
Great work Flitetest! Are you going to have a special 200,000 subscriber video?
Thanks for reviewing this plane. I have a question for you guys. Do you think I could use the 3200mah batteries that the Eflite Apprentice S uses on this plane? Do this plane users the same size batteries that the Blade 350 QX uses? I would appreciate a lot your response to my question. Thanks to your videos I bought my 1st Apprentice S. I am a big fan of your channel and I really appreciate all you guys are doing for the hobby. Thanks for that.
I bought this plane and I LOVE IT!
How good would this plane be after flying the e-flite apprentice and the durafly p-51 mustang. I'm more of a scale flyer but wanna get into 3d. Would you recommend me to buy it.
In case you would want to build something similar in size and capability (without the stabilization of course) you could look at the Big Nasty in RC Groups. I've had tons of fun with that one. Now that I have worn it out, I might buy one of these to replace it.
Would love to see some Dynam and Freewing tests. Our club members all watch your videos and love them. We get new pilots to watch also. Lots of fun.
Hey guys y'all should do a review on the extra 300 sp I love it it has great control amazing power good for intermediate level flyers
Love you'r vids guy... it makes me wish i coulkd afford to start flying
Hey flitetest. Please read this comment and take the time to reply.
I love your videos. They are not biased at all and you sell amazing products. I have already bought the Viggen and Old fogey. I have never been that much in love with this hobby. You guys do amazing things and I hope that I will meet you guys in real life because I am your biggest fan. Hopefully you will continue making products, doing reviews and listening to us.
Can you do a beginner series of quads? Thanks!
We would like to eventually! the tough part is that the multirotor technology changes so quickly, we would hate to waste time and energy in a series that would quickly be obsolete. Be sure to check out the "How to fly a Multirotor" episode if you haven't already. Thank you for supporting us and watching our videos:) Randomvideos90
FliteTest Many thanks for the reply! You have no idea how much this means to me :D
I totally understand how making beginner series for multi rotor can be difficult. I will surly check out that video and be more enlightened about the art of this hobby.
Again! Thank you so much for the reply and taking my idea into consideration! Best of luck for future videos! Hopefully we can have David (The crazy swede :P back on the show)
I think it is time to start teaching Josh Scott some maneuvers like Cuban 8s and immelmans. It would be awesome for a learning newb like me to see someone learn them. seeing the stick inputs in a small screen at the same time would be awesome too.
If you ever find yourself in Indiana make sure to stop by and see us in Bloomington.
Great looking plane
Thanks guyz
Finally another review
It’s kinda funny actually, I started flying with 3 channels planes so just throttle elevator and rudder, which was on the champ. I bought a FMS 3D plane, I think it was the mxs rochobby or something, and that was the very first 4 channel plane I ever flew, and although I learned to ease on the controls since it was super twitchy, i totally learned A LOT of control on that plane, and the 3D level of thrust helps you get out of sticky situations. I feel like 3D planes are a good “level up” plane for someone who has flown in simulators and understands aileron control/ 4 channel. I started out as yank and bank on my plane and evolved to learn tricks using the rudder and everything, or throttle to control pitch lol.
This video is old so my comment may never be seen, but if you see this or read the whole thing hit that like button lol.
Nice episode
FliteTest I'd love to see a review of the E-Flite UMX Pitts S-1S.
I've had the Parkzone Radian for awhile and I;m looking to take a step up. Would you recommend this or the Sport Cub?
I got this plane as my first plane. Been flying helis for a while now and found it was a great plane for my first with as3x it makes it very easy to fly and control on low rates. I hate that 2 second recovery thou so that mode gets turned off straight away before I fly. Recommend it to any one.
Nice review, good to j scott back on the sticks :-)
I'm considering a new plane. I currently fly the radian and the radian umx. I'm stuck between the Super Cub s2 or the Sukhoi. I'm decent at flying 4ch but not advanced yet so I guess my question is what plane would be better for me (obviously seems like the Super Cub.) How much more difficult is the Sukhoi to fly? Love your channel BTW
Hi Guys. Love your channel. Can you elaborate a bit on the cockpit cam on the Sukgoi 29? I'm buying one of these planes soon and would like a camera that will not affect the flight. Thanks
Great Episode! Already watched 3 times because i bought this plane. How did you get the camera in there?
Can you review the blade 200 qx and what happened to the warbirds after the p-51
Comparo time they just release the ultimate2 not to long ago, I think an intermediate 3D comparison of the two would be awesome.
do they make a plane like the Polaris with Safe technology so I can fly this winter and land in the snow?
Would this be a good next step after flying the apprentice? I really want to get into 3d. And could I just use the 5 channel transmitter the apprentice came with?
you guys need to break out the J*Scott it would be awesome to see what Josh Scott could do with it now!
Hey guys, love your channel. Just got into flying. I've been a 1/10 and 1/8 racer for years. Was looking for something to do in between rounds and found a UMX P3 Revolution at a swap meet. Not a good first plane! Poor little guy haha.
Well fast forward and I got bit by the bug bad. I just picked up a Valiant and a Sukhoi Gen 2. Awesome planes. I was wondering if you could do a Flite Test review on the E-flite Sukhoi SU-29MM Gen 2 for us?
@3:02 Josh says Stagility mode is position 1 but the manual says: AS3X 3D Mode: Switch position 1...or at least that is how I am seeing it. I'll find out later when I maiden mine, hopefully I have it set up correct! Edit: After second thought..maybe me meant position 1 meaning 0 on the controller which is 1 of 3 positions.
I bought one after watching this review. Great model and lots of fun. Thanks for the demo. Have you done or could you do a review on the Pulse XT 15e? It is a good aerobatic trainer and really stable.
I like this plane. This is one I would consider buying.
muy bonito:)
Is that Spiderman in the cockpit?
Dennis P Haha. Possibly.
right. i'm new and can fly 3d on a sim, but this would be the least risky for me in real flight on the field. it's this or the pa addictionx for me. now that I've watched this demo, i'm leaning this.
Danny Cruz I just bought it :)
hi, I would want to ask a question, I have purchased the sukhoi 29mm, I have made the settings as from manual, with transmitting DX6i, but it is normal that the Trottle has delay since 50%?
thanks now i have to add another one to my want list...
let's see more videos like this.
What about when you want long throws but minimal help from the gyros?
got this plane, hit the ground at least 2 times and it's in optimum conditions.
this plane is an amazing fling rock!
I'd really be impressed to see some 2D or better yet 1D flying.
Thanks for the shout-out to shop at Local Hobby Shop. :)
Great review! Any chance one can get a high quality
FPV system on a plane like this?
