- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- The most capable twin we've flown yet! In Model AV8R episode 88, we feature E-Flite's new EC-1500 Twin 1.5m V2! The original EC-1500 was adored by pilots, and now it's back and better than ever with this updated and upgraded release! New motors with bolt on prop adapters, a new ESC, and an 8 channel receiver provide a ton of new features and capabilities! It has pre-programmed differential thrust, programmable reverse, SMART telemetry, and enough channels in the BNF to take advantage of the multiple wing configuration possibilities. Scale, sport, and even 3D flying is possible with this amazing twin! It has a new fully painted air frame and it retains the operational cargo bay door, LED light package, and other features that made the original a pilot favorite. In this review we cover all the details and of course we demo all the flight genres it promises. It is a totally different twin experience! Check it out!

This should be getting way more views. Fantastic work on demoing this, Adam! It is hands down the best prop (in our opinion, of course) that Horizon has ever produced.
Can’t wait to see your review; do you have your copy yet? If not, Horizon needs to get on the stick! Each of you bring good content without boring redundancy. Thanks for that!
@@tonydarst8211 Yup, we already posted it!
It is awesome Jon! Thanks man!
Thanks Tony!
How am I supposed to keep up with all this fancy pants flying? Every time I click on your stuff it only makes me realize I ain’t ever going to catch up! Always excellent content! Maybe I should take up Pachinko so I have at least a chance against the house😁
Lol! Wayne I've seen you fly man...you're dang good!
Absolutely one of my most favorite channels on You tube. Incredible flying without the gloating and icing on the cake is doing it with a Transmitter that most of us average pilots can afford. No crazy advance mixing. Love the fact that you set it up as in the book. Good selling. Point. You certainly have my attention.😊. I love the fact that we use similar expo rates , but you are absolutely a way better pilot then I am. Thanks for twisting my arm on this plane. Love the special forces ops. Lol.
Bill, thank you man! That means so much. Yep, if you have eight channels you can do pretty much anything you want with it, but it's so capable stock. The cargo bay door is a hoot! Lol
Just found ya bud..Your my #1 go to now...
Great work sir.
Salute to you!!🎉🎉❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Always like how detailed your videos are never poorly surprised when I buy a plane after your reviews
Thanks so much Ruby! Did you ever film your SUS?
@@ModelAV8RChannel I did but the plane is so small in the video it's kinda funny. Speaking of sticks someone gave me a mini ultra stick maybe 1000mm needs some hinges but pretty cool none the less. Almost done with my decathlon and on to the next project
@@RubyS.1 Okay, gotcha. Ruby that is great, I'm so glad you are doing the modeling part of the hobby. The mini Ultra Stick is a great airplane, very similar to the Stick we did a episode on. You'll enjoy it. Get some more footage of the Decathlon, they are awesome!
Cannot thank you enough for not putting any music over the plane sound.
Quality review as usual.
Thanks very much Michel!
Great flight and demonstration with the new HH EC1500. Those props sound like a swarm of angry hornets, but it's really cool.
Thanks Tony! This thing is awesome...
You always give the best reviews! Thank you!
Thanks very much!
Pretty damn impressive
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
Thanks!
Another fantastic video as always!! Great flying plane, thanks for the time and work👊🏼
Thanks Jeff!
Another great review Adam and Heidi! I REALLY like this plane, especially the float option! Well done. Scott
Thanks brother Scott! You need one man, holy cow dropping those parachute guys is so much fun!
I know people must tell you this all the time but I love your vids! All I have so far is RF pc sim & an Interlink DX but I watch your vids as if I have a hangar full of models...LOL!
Thanks very much, that means a lot! Next step...get a plane!
Very cool Adam, nice drop of the operators! ☠Semper Fi!
Thanks man! I knew you would like that...
That was one one thorough review 😎👍
Thanks!
Great review Adam of a very nice model plane!! Great flying and filming, well done to Heidi.Worth watching just for the Paratrooper drop 😀👍
Thanks Ian! Man that was so much fun. We are thinking of things to drop now!
Loved the little parachuting dudes, Adam! The 'on-borad' footage of it was spectacular. Great review and flying.
Thanks Gina! So much fun to drop stuff out of the cargo bay!
Crisp aerobatics...Enjoyed thoroughly. !
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice looking plane good review and flight👍👍
Thank you Frank!
Awesome aircraft Adam! Always wanted one of these! Great video my friends!!😎👍✌️👊
Thanks Jude! Man get one...they are amazing!
Excellent review and demo as usual Adam! Great filming by Heidi too! This plane is pretty amazing. I like all of the options and features. The camera mounting options and cargo drop feature are great! This would be a great candy drop plane for club events! Awesome performance from a plane like this too.😎👍
Thanks very much Keith! Man I thought the same thing. Gotta see how much candy it can haul and still fly. Balance may be an issue. How's your mom man? Doing well I hope!
Beautiful model plane, it flies like a sport model. Thanks for your video…
Thank you for watching!
No More Nemo!?! GR8 lookin plane Adam!!
Nope! They painted this one!
A true pilot flying this amazing bird thank you so much funny I skipped right to the flying part
Thanks man!
I spent 30 years in the Air Force flying C-130s, but I have no desire for RC cargo planes or airliners.
It does look like a nice model though. My next plane I'm thinking of the FMS Voodoo. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for watching and for your service to our country.
Great video thanks for all the advice on this plane really thinking about binge it after this video Thanks again 👍👍
Thanks man! You'd enjoy one, great flyer and so capable!
Wonderful Adam/Heidi. So well reviewed & produced. Great shots from the parachute release cargo door. It will be around $Au1k here when released (bnf).
Must look for the Loktite stick.
Many thanks indeed guys.
Greetings from Penang.
Thanks Noel! Whew...thats a lot! Yes...I thought about you when I was putting the Runcam in it!
Adam I’m ready to maiden my V2 EC 1500. Just wanted to watch your video again for inspiration. Jeff in LA USA
Awesome Jeff its a fun one!
Adam your a great pilot. And fly with such precision. Hope one day I can get half as good as you 😂😂 . Love your videos .
Kevin thank you man! Glad you like our channel. You can, just takes practice.
I wouldn't have ever considered doing 3d with a plane like that. Absolutely awesome. Really enjoyed all of the overall videos and flying. Would really like to see the full flap setup and some combat drops and short field take offs and landings. Amazing job Adam.
Thanks so much David. It was a big surprise to me. It it so capable but still easy to fly. Does many things well. The cargo bay door is a hoot to play with!
You are an amazing pilot!
Thanks very much Mark!
I Need one of these in my life 😮
Yes you do. Awesome, fun airplane!
Those "special forces" guys seemed a bit reluctant to deploy. Didnt look they had a choice, though 😂 (very cool interior "action" footage)
Certainly not sneeking up on anyone with that less than silent gear. But wow! What a capable, durable, fun cargo plane 👍
Thanks!!
Thanks Al! Lol...yeah more like "special ed forces"! It is so much fun to do though! Truly an awesome airplane.
Hi Adam - well you posted this video three months ago - I had my order in - today Horizon Hobby came through for me - it has arrived ... Unboxing coming soon.... also I would like to take this moment to say thank you for your thoughts and prayers during my recent Eye surgery - I can let you know it was an success and I am well on the mend - Oh and I also got some sexy new Spectacles
Hey brother Martyn! Man we are so glad the surgery was a success! Always have a prayer for you my friend. I bet you look dashing with your new specs! Glad you got your EC-1500! It is so much fun...I look forward to your content!
Great video as always... Appreciate the effort it took to make this.. Btw, you are a Jack Wagon, you should've caught it while hovering.. (I know you thought about it for a second...). 🙂
Thanks Will, Lol. Yeah I couldn't figure out where to grab it.
Great review Adam. Always enjoy watching your videos. The format and info are most helpful.
If you had hovered thru the shed one more time it would've been a hat trick. ;-)
AirHammer out!!
Thanks man! If did it one more time that would have been showing off...lol.
😂 I particularly liked the sand storm there, but good that you didn’t get sand in your eyes! Awesome flying, Adam!
@@alexandernentwig9596 Thanks man! Me too, that would have made things way to interesting! Lol
Hi Adam - Very NICE - My order for this one was placed a few days ago (not due here in the UK for until middle to end of June ) - Mind you saying that i am still waiting for my 2m T28 - not arrived yet !!!, I always wanted to get the Orange and white one - but quite pleased I never did - it had issues that should have been addressed with this V2 version and I just love the military look.. I notice just like the old one the wheels sound CR*P - something about the Axles - just hate the sound so I am going to have to do something about that - Cool video Adam, Tas always full of information - Look after yourself and your loved ones - Martyn
Hey Martyn! Hope you're hanging in there my friend and that you and yours are well. This is an amazing plane. You will enjoy it...dropping stuff out of that cargo bay is so much fun! You may be able to grease the wheels. They do vibrate in flight at full speed. You will also love the T-28...
need to put a dab of grease on the axles to quieten the wheel noise
You bet, my friend. I believe food grade grease is safe for plastics. Others will corrode the wheels
Yep. I have silicone oil in my flight bag. It doesn't sound that bad standing there. Our microphone make makes it sound so much louder and worse! I need to just oil the wheels on everything before we fly...Lol.
Good review Adam! To large and heavy for me but it looks great.
Thanks man!
You can really wring a plane out, Adam. Niiiiice! 👍🏻🙂
Thanks Randy! Hey man Jeff told me about Tug. Is he doing any better?
@@ModelAV8RChannel I have not heard anything. I’d appreciate knowing what is going on. Certainly saying a prayer for Tug that everything will be fine for him.
@@rlbutterfield Same here. He's in our prayers
NIIIIICE 👌
Very cool model and flight! Did the mission commander approve the stunt flying??? LOL You could get court marshalled for that...
Lol! I stay in trouble Mark! Thanks man!
The V1 was my 2nd plane …….didn’t work out well
Glad they rereleased this one , good job of showing this plane’s great points
Thanks man!
Great review again Adam.
Impressive flight characteristics, especially for a cargo plane.
Disappointed that E-Flite didn't add gear retracts with this update. The nose wheel poking out looks stupid in flight - I could probably live with the static main gear though.
Thanks Dave. Simple and light is the name of this game. Think Timber or 1.1 T-28 with fixed gear. It is as capable as it is because it is so light and floaty. It resembles a full scale (like a Timber), but it was only inspired by that. It is a sport/3D plane at heart and was never meant to be super scale.
Adam great review, HH really did a great job on the updates, really like the front of the fuse top vent to help pushing any cargo out the ramp. The new prop adaptors or perfect. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff! Have you ever flown one? Man you'd dig it.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Adam I'm sure it would be fun to fly, have never flown one.
🤠
I wish they would make a UMX version
You never know...
Love this aircraft… but those squeaky axles gotta go! 😅
Excellent flying as usual; great demo, Adam!
Plumber’s silicone grease would probably help with the squeaky wheels.
Thanks Tony! Man I have oil in my flight bag, but I never realize how bad it is until we look at the footage. Our microphone picks up everything, and makes the wheels sound so much worse than they do standing there. lol.
I trim all my as3x planes, never any issues…
Yep.
Great review! Does that take-off and landing noise come feom the wheels/axles? Sounds pretty awful!
Hey Enrique, it is the wheels, but our camera mic intensifies the noise. It's there but not that bad in person. I still need to grease them...Lol.
That thing is nuts hahahah
It is!
Really could use some retracts. How much an shipping to the South filippines ?
They wanted to keep it light, which is why it performs the way it does. On the shipping...no idea. Put one in your cart and you can see an estimate of shipping.
how many channels do u need on your transmitter to use the cargo door? i only have 6 channels
Technically you need 8 channels to use all features. That would be AS3X/SAFE on a switch, full span aileron mix on a switch, and the cargo door. That said, if you don't activate SAFE or do a full spam aileron mix you won't need 8, you can have the cargo door on channel 6.
@@ModelAV8RChannel thank you so much! i’m already decent at flying out of safe so by christmas (when i want to get it) i will be all good. Also, what does full span aileron mix mean? will i need it?
@@Tommydoestuff It is a mix that turns the flaps into ailerons. You don't need it. You'll be fine without it.
@@ModelAV8RChannel ohh yea i saw that on a few vids, can i just assign that one extra surface to either flaps or ailerons without need a switch?
@speedymuffin1759 yeah man, you'll end up with aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, flaps, and cargo door.
hovering through an awning ? I'd say your pretty much commited; no punch out at that point 🤣...nice...
Lol...thanks man! Yeah I either pull it off or take it home broke!
Sad that seems so locked to Spektrum
You can buy the PNP and use whatever protocol you want. Also, some open source systems can operate a Spektrum rx.
too bad only youtubers have access to these planes. the rest of us have to PRE-ORDER. imagine that! typical e-flite propaganda...
Every model company releases videos of new planes for pre-order. It's called marketing. We have access because we are knowledgeable, have modeling skills, and because we put hours of our time into making high production value presentations. Clearly you don't understand what "Propaganda" means. It suggests misleading information. Everything they say the plane has...it has. Everything they say it will do...it will do. We stated those facts, then proved them on film. Nothing misleading about that. You want early access to these planes? My wife and I have about 40 hours of work all totaled in this one. Multiple trips to the venues, hours of filming in the shop and hours of editing. Start a channel, and knock yourself out.
Great plane great video!! Hate that horizon makes us wait a year for new release.
It is a great airplane!
Another fine review sir!!!
Great job guys, orsum scale, great flight Adam, was surprised how you could throw her around the sky. 🫡
Thanks so much Chris! It surprised me too!
Can you tell me the type of foam used on the plane? I bought the Beech 18 and the foam and panit were terrrible. The paint was takey and paint was sticky. I have the A10 with no issues. Thanks.
Pretty much everything in Horizon's foam line up bigger than ultra micro is EPO. We bought the Beech when it came out. To be fair we only have about 40 flights on it, but the EPO and paint are in fine shape still.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Thanks, My beech is so fragile with the foam it dents if you look at it. My A10 F16 are not like that.
