Ok, so I have the Eflite A-10, and have had trouble landing, with porpoising. I really struggled with that until I watched this video. Turns out that like you said, moving the battery aft made all the difference! Now, grease jobs consistently! Landing is great now, she just floats in with a little power! Thanks and Peace from California!
@BIGG_SURVIVOR_88 I can recommend the UMX A-10 for learning, I'm nowhere near as good as Jon but the UMX gave me some courage to try bigger jets. I have some videos on my channel of it, really awesome plane.
Awesome flying and camera work thanks Jon and Tony. Your landings are so good Jon. Wonder if got to fly with your friend in the real plane on Sunday. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us
Crow is an awesome thing for high energy flying swept wing jets when coming in to land on a short air strip but i never use it on any of my other prop planes or straight wing jets.
@@TwoBrosRC Oh yeah i once saw a youtube video of a guy flying the EC-1500 on floats over the water doing amazing Harriers for like 10 minutes! Maybe that was You???
Hi Jon. Great video. Assuming you have the battery as far back as it will go, are you adverse to adding a small amount of weight to the tail in order to get the CG where you want it? Thanks
I've added a lot of weight to many models to get them to balance better, but it's always a game of figuring out how far back I want it to balance versus how much weight it'll take to get it to do so. Too much weight adds more wing loading and reduces the thrust to weight ratio.
Hello there. Question, have you beefed up your nose gear on this A-10?? Because, I have one of these jets. I came in for a landing one day and the nose gear snapped right off. I didn’t think that I hit hard at all. And I am not running over grass piles like you are on your runway. Maybe I just had a defective nose wheel or something. I really don’t know. Awesome flying, and how did you set up the reverse on this plane. That was neat.
@@TwoBrosRC not sure which one that I have. I had to buy another nose gear though. Hopefully this gear is better than the last one though. Lol. The first one snapped the gear off nearest to the plane just for fyi. I haven’t been able to fly it since I replaced the gear though. I can’t wait to fly it again, just to see if the gear is better.
Awesome flying demonstration! 👍🏾😁 Can you do the same with the Freewing 80mm A-10? I would love to see that!...😊👍🏾 By the way, I saw another of your videos in which you gave us a short tour of your hangar. Can you do a short video tutorial on how you hang those aircraft to your roof! I would like to do that on my house, but I need some guidance, specially on what hardware I need like the laptop straps, which one specifically you got...I would really appreciate your help on that matter!... Have a great day! I'm glad I found your channel and subscribed to it!... You are a good pilot!...By the way I have that same IX20SE radio, and I love it!...

Hey man! I don't have the Freewing 80mm but you're welcome to contribute to it if you'd like to donate to the channel via the Thanks button or via the PayPal link. It's an expensive jet. I'd like to get it at some point. Hanging the models just requires drilling into a stud in the ceiling and using a heavy hook that you attach laptop straps to, preferably straps with hooks. No tutorial needed!

Sweet! I’m new to flying (about 11 months) and rely on safe to have successful flights but I keep thinking about picking the twin 70 up. I have several other planes but jets are really what excite me!
Jets really are exciting, you're definitely right about that. You'll get to a point where you feel confident flying them and then a whole world of flying adventures will open up to you.
Jon do you need more than 6 channel receiver for crow ? Also how did you do the flat spin on this bird? That was awesome. What are the stick inputs like to pull that off ?
I just assembled mine for the first time and noticed it doesn’t have much elevator movement. Although I’ve yet to maiden it. Is it safe to increase the stock servo travel to 150% for extra travel? Thanks
You'd have to reprogram the receiver after you unlock it, otherwise you won't be able to hit 150%. 100% would be the stock travel limit. You can reposition the pushrods for the elevators by moving them to the outermost hole on the servo arm. That should free up some travel - but not as much as doing that with 150% rates.
I heard that some one was say that you move your (tx Sticks) to much ,but I think your hands are like a gyro ,or even better, for a example I bought a £20 gyro ,for windy day but I'm not using it, to much weight and not enough space, btw your a really good pilot 👍👍
Will a dx6e work with bnf v2 version i may have to disable safe to have retracts flaps and reverse thrust. Can i not use reverse thrust and use safe instead
Do you still fly this? I picjed one up and love it, but tryin put my 4000 6s in (they fit) but cg is like 54mm, you were saying they fly well with the aft cg do you think this is too much? I normally fly it around 62mm...

Crow helps too, but proper CG makes all the difference.
One of the coolest reviews I've seen. Thanks
Ok you just answered my question on the 4000 -4 cell. Thanks.Goin up tomorrow!
Glad we could help!
Great flying and excellent camera work as per usual! Looks like a very wind resistant plane considering its size.
Thanks man!
Wow! I love that plan. I am trying to fly a beginner jet to get prepared for the a10.
Honestly I think you'd be OK moving up to this jet from a Habu. It's not hard to fly at all. Even landing is pretty easy.
@@TwoBrosRC thanks for the advice! I am only worried about the turning radius because I fly in a park with limited space.
Give the jet max possible throws and dampen with lots of expo - 50% or more. You'll have plenty of agility.

@@A.M.-RC that’s what I just got ,but don’t have a charge adapter for a 6s battery yet they are all on back order.
Awesome flying and camera work thanks Jon and Tony. Your landings are so good Jon. Wonder if got to fly with your friend in the real plane on Sunday. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us
Thanks Johan! Unfortunately I did not, it was sort of an impromptu plan. I'll get up there eventually.
Crow is an awesome thing for high energy flying swept wing jets when coming in to land on a short air strip but i never use it on any of my other prop planes or straight wing jets.
It works great on props too. Some models really benefit from it to get stable harriers. The EC-1500 comes to mind, as does the Extra 300 from E-flite.

@@looneytunes47 Maybe 🤣
Nice flying Jon 👍
Thanks man!
Ahhhh so that's what crow is!!!!
I've talked about it before but sometimes it helps to physically demonstrate.

Nope, no mods to the gear at all. Are you on V1 or V2? V2 fixed most gear issues that we'd heard of.

Nah, that's the FMS 70mm. It's big but not as big as the FW 80mm. I'll check your vid out. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoBrosRC Awesome 👌 Have a great day! 👍🏾
Jon what's stopping that lipo sliding forward?
Nothing really except the Craftsman shelf liner. It doesn't move at all, thankfully.
Great video, I’d like to see the twin 70mm if you have it!
I do, actually. I'll be shooting it this week!

Jon do you need more than 6 channel receiver for crow ? Also how did you do the flat spin on this bird? That was awesome. What are the stick inputs like to pull that off ?
You need a minimum of seven channels for crow. Flat spins are performed by holding up elevator and adding rudder with contrary aileron.
I just assembled mine for the first time and noticed it doesn’t have much elevator movement. Although I’ve yet to maiden it. Is it safe to increase the stock servo travel to 150% for extra travel? Thanks

@@TwoBrosRC I’ll reposition the control arm and ad some expo. Thanks for the quick reply!

Expo is all personal preference. Way too many people think that their personal technique is everyone else's official procedure.
@@TwoBrosRC mhm , yes
Nice flying, can it be fly with a normal batteries
Normal batteries?
Will a dx6e work with bnf v2 version i may have to disable safe to have retracts flaps and reverse thrust. Can i not use reverse thrust and use safe instead
It should work, but you won't have receiver flight modes (SAFE/AS3X toggling)
@TwoBrosRC thx
What do you mean Alta and crow
Google "high alpha" if you're curious. Googling "crow wing configuration" will also give you some useful info.
i have many difficulties with this plane. specially to land.... i have already 10 crash and i have broken so much nose gears........
Do you still fly this? I picjed one up and love it, but tryin put my 4000 6s in (they fit) but cg is like 54mm, you were saying they fly well with the aft cg do you think this is too much? I normally fly it around 62mm...
Haven't flown it since January.
