Maiden flight or the f5j Avanti from www.performancemodels.com.au
this has been a long build mainly life got in the way but just wow
I will do a comp day video with Avanti and Ozeres - Навчання та стиль
Awesome. Flies like it was assembled in a factory, all pre-tuned, no twists, or bends. An attestment to your skills. This Avanti F5J is a real beauty in the air.
It looks like the spoilers are just fully open, or closed. You might consider experimenting with a 3 position switch to provide 1/3 to 1/2 spoiler for a mid-range setting. This will give a default glide slope for landing, then can adjust shorter (full), or longer (closed) as conditions dictate.
Good ideas 💡
Just fantastic
Thanks
Beautiful Nick. One of my very favorite things in the world to do. It looks VERY elegant. Good job.
Thanks so much!
Wow congrats Nick👍
Thanks
What a graceful glider Nick,,looks so good on the fly past,Regards Tony rentokil.
Cheers Tony
Mate sort this weather out 😢🌧️
Beautiful flying model Enjoy it 😊
Thanks Gareth
Massive congrats. You must have built it really well. It flies like a dream.
Thanks buddy
Flies extremely nicely.
Not a touch of trim 🥰
Well done Nick, We get the opportunity to watch & fly with Marcus occasionally and he's been tempting me me with one of these! 😉
It’s a peach mate
Im so jealous? Beautiful Job on a sweet plane. Odd you all look like you way over dressed for the Beach ! Great Job your builds keep getting better. Thanks
Thanks It’s winter here and first flyable day here in 4 weeks
Great maiden. I’m well into the build with most of the wing done. Can’t wait to see if mine will fly as good as yours.
Make sure your servo cables fit through holes in wing
what a STUNNING model you have built there!
Thanks worth the build
WOW! Indeed Nick as soon as you get into a thermal I can see it disappearing rather rapidly, those flaps are going to get some use.
Ideal for those lazy summer evenings we get over here in the UK 😁🤣
Can't wait!
Nice one to relax!! Beautiful flying! it’s must be very nice in thermals!! Good job!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely perfection!
Thank you! Cheers!
WoW Well Done Nick very nice
Thanks Kev
Awesome work Nick! Congratulations, I hope it server you well! I am also ordering one now haha.
Nice mate
Fantastic...what else can you say
Thanks I found it almost hypnotic to fly 🥰
Beautiful plane.....
Thanks
Nice job sir..👏
Thanks
Nice work Nick, might have to get one
Easy build but lots off it 😂good winter project
It flies beautifully! Congratulations on a successful first flight.
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful! Has been a great journey watching the build.
Thank you! Sorry took so long
@@NickChittyFlyingI'm not sure I have the patience for a fully built-up model these days, so I'll model vicariously through you! 😀
@@Colin_Holloway got an Fx707 for £19 what a bargain 🤩
@@NickChittyFlying I'm looking forward to your video on that one!
Beautiful
Thanks it’s sweet to fly
Flies beautiful. Rather small spinner there? Increased drag in the front and props won't fold properly. I have a little bit of mixing aileron/rudder on my Top Model Astra, and it makes those thermal turns just beautiful. Important to mix in proper up elevator with the spoilers and you will get a nice controlled descent. Love your videos. :)
Like I said in the build video it’s closest one I had #desperate to fly 🤣😍
I wouldn't of thought you would of needed to put another battery in it That thing looks as thought it would fly for days. 😮 @ 4:45 that model was close to being wrecked 😧
it was a rubbish shot
Looks great! Flying beautifully. Looks like Woolacombe?
Have you counted your " wow's " 😊
Yer been flying 55 years it never gets old 🤪
Know it well, I'm in Devon as well, been flying f f, then rc for about 60years on an off, now elec glider, middle phase and Longshot dlg! Maybe a bit old for that loving it! Cheers mate
It’s a little nose heavy maybe, flies beautifully though 😊
Lovely model , can you only buy these direct from Australia? I presume the delivery and tax costs are high ?
Think it’s cheaper than Europe 🤣 give Marcus a msg
Thanks for the nice videos. Your test flying video is a great selling point. Simple question, what brand of covering did you use for the wings and tail feathers? Love that transparent purple and the carbon on the fuselage pod. Just ordered two kits from Marcus.
Thanks it was hobbie king had it on the shelf for years oralight is good
Yes, seems most of us crazy airplane people have plenty items on the shelf waiting to be used someday. Funny to think that that material you held onto always had a perfect application, was just waiting for the plane to come along. Beautiful combination of colors!@@NickChittyFlying
@@johngonzalez6555 I am not a horder honestly 🤣
You are only a hoarder if you never use the material. The way I see it, material represents opportunity for future creativity and brain activity. Organization is key to making one feel like a rich man knowing all the creations you have in front of you in your future with that material. I am a blessed person for I can’t remember the last time I was bored. @@NickChittyFlying
@@johngonzalez6555 well said mate
flies nice , although finish looks poor, onwards and upwards though :)
