    I have a ton of planes Draco, EC 1500, night radian, T28 1.2m, Corsair 1.2, 64 mm F 35, 64 mm F 15, 64 mm F 18, and a ton more.
    X-Fly T7A hands-down is my favorite plane. Stock it handles absolutely fantastic, incredibly stable, and the speed is real good. I love the fly under full power at about 12 inches off the ground. I put a 64 mm 3900 KV motor in it. And it rips at about 101 mph. The run time is cut down to three minutes though which kind of sucks.
    Brian, I love what you do man you got me back in the flying after 18 years I really owe you a big thank you keep up the good work.

    I saw the Red Devils, Charlie Hilliard, Gene Soucy and Tom Poberezny, perform several times at airshows in the early 70’s; my Dad knew and introduced me to all of them at Oshkosh. I flew my first RC aircraft in 1975, at age 13. I retired two years ago and decided to pick up RC again just about 4 weeks ago. Since, I have 5 BNF airplanes, including the UMX Pitts. Always loved the Pitts! Thanks for rattling the memories!

    Your best video ever. And I go back to the days of the Blondie, Timber 1.5 and the Timber UMX “paper towel soaked in CA” days.
    Until last night, I thought only my wife could turn a 20 minute project turn Into a 3 hour project. But the info on the flaperons, forward programming and taking the mains forward will be invaluable.
    Looks like a well built plane. Thanks for “corn testing” It for us on purpose. Reminded of when you hit the street sign at the old house just so you could show us how to use hot water and a dish towel to get dings out of foam.

    This will be the 1st time trying the “Brian Phillips method of Flaperons”.
    Even if I destroy both aileron leads and have to replace wing and rewire aileron servos I’m not giving up.

That is more BEHIND us (Our house points toward the road)...so the bulk of our property is behind us...about 8-9 acres BEHIND us from where we fly.

Many thanks to the 2 of you for the efforts with this entertaining and educational lengthy video. Serious lack of stuff out there about forward programming, gains, adjustments etc. I'd really love it if you done a short vid on Receiver options/choices, pros and cons on each one.

    I have one of these hoping that it would share the easy take-off manners of the Marlin. But - it's heavier and smaller than Marlin and will not take off grass in standard configuration. Any bump will slow it down critically as the nose wheel repeatedly digs in and achieving V rotation is impossible. Flaperons are essential for take-off otherwise there's not enough lift from the wing and insufficient thrust from 4S to unstick the weight. Thanks for the gear bend idea. They are indeed too far back and that's another reason why it won't take off grass out of the box. I also agree that a even a 2200 4S needs to be way back into the plane to push the CG further back than the recommendation.

    Hi guys / Brian.
    1) Will it be suitable as a 2nd jet after the Habu STS?
    2) Do you think it may do full grass ops?
    Thanks,
    Jacob.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  9 місяців тому

      Grass ops, if it's REALLLLLLLLY short grass, MAYBE.
      2nd EDF after Habu - I guess. The Habu is a VERY entry level EDF, but to be frank, once you fly an edf, you will be making leaps from plane to plane anyway...so good advice would be - if you can afford to replace it, fly it. I don't say that in jest, EDF's are just easier to make mistakes with, and as you get bigger, more detailed, and less forgiving, you will learn more and more expensive lessons. The planes I like in EDF are usually scale fighter jets, and while some of them are amazing flying, while others are not easy, so gotta get a solid stabilizer to make them fly decent, and even with that, on others, they still fly so so...
      Would this be a second EDF suggestion from me - NO....but what is a good 2nd EDF - I'd say...
      Pick from one of these, in no particular order...
      BNF's...
      bprc.me/F15
      bprc.me/Viper
      bprc.me/F16 - the 70mm, the 80mm would be later on, fyi
      bprc.me/A10
      PNP's...
      bprc.me/FMS_F15
      bprc.me/FMS_F16
      bprc.me/FMS_Yak130
      bprc.me/FMS_Avanti
      bprc.me/FMS_BAE_Hawk
      bprc.me/FMS_Integral - This one is kinda IFFY for a 2nd EDF...some are saying "Best First 6S EDF" - I disagree...
      bprc.me/FMS_F86 - actually not hard to fly, but big and expensive...and complex - maybe NOT good idea?
      bprc.me/FMS_A10 - kinda BIG and FAST for 2nd, but if you do grass ops, might be good?

    I got the carbon cub s2 for Christmas last year and I have been flying it since on beginner mode. I have had some problem with it lately, when I am flying the plane always wants to go to the right. I tried trimming it on beginner mode but then found out you should not trim on beginner mode. So I then tried trimming it in experienced mode on the ground. When I went to fly it in beginner mode it wasn’t flying as smooth as it usually would. When I look at the plane all the control surfaces looked lined up correctly. I don’t know why it is not flying correctly. I do not have any experienced RC pilots that I know to help my learn to fly on experienced mode and to help me trim it back to normal. I was wondering if you had any advice 🤔

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  3 роки тому

      This is the process I would do in your shoes. Try this...
      1) Start on the ground in EXPERT MODE
      2) Center all trims (hold them and listen for the beep pattern - It'll be obvious)
      3) NOW Mechanically Trim to Center surfaces
      4) Fly in Whatever mode allows you to get "a few mistakes high"....
      5) Now put the plane in EXPERT mode, and let go of the sticks
      6) Trim ELEVATOR
      7) Trim Ailerons
      8) Trim Rudders
      9) Confirm it's trimmed buy flying straight and level with 40-50% throttle, then let go of the sticks - it should fly straight as an arrow for a few seconds.

    Great review as ever, been following your channel for almost 2 years now but this is first time commenting. By any chance will you be reviewing the Xfly A-10 twin 50mm edf? Im not a total noob with edfs, say novice, my particular concern is flying field size limitation. I fly roughly a tight 150x300 meter Air Box, with about 30 meters worth of landing/take off strip (mixed grass or pavement). I really like the stuff Xfly is coming up with their price vs performance equation impressions look good. Im choosing between this T-7A and possibly the A-10. Thanks again, Happy Flying 😊

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, but if X-Fly does what they've committed to doing, we would have already reviewed the A-10...but I'm hearing crickets from XFly right at the moment.
      Either way, Xfly is a small company, and we will be as patient as necessary to keep them happy....

    Morning Brian id like to ask you opinion on a planes performance. happened specifically with an Ar630/Ar631 and on a small fast mustang and an Avanti S. whilst in as3x mode whilst flying towards the ground at speed and pulling the plane up HARD elevator to say get level or a loop, the plane looks like it literally panics, irratic looking and unpredictable. I have to switch it into Safe to level out and fly out from the mess. am I putting too much authority in my control horn holes and messing the plane up? is this behaviour the what happens when the limits of the planes aerodynamics are exceeded as in say a stall? or is it the RX getting overwhelmed from exerting too movement in 1 go? trying to see where I'm going wrong and if I can prevent it. today I'm taking the avanti back out and have backed off the elevator movements and reduced Safe and AS3X gains a little. thanks for any hints or tips. Mark 🇬🇧

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  2 роки тому +1

      I have seen this from time to time, can't say so much with THIS plane, but with the 80mm Sirius - you get the WASH from the front wing into the elevator and you make the plane FREAK OUT. This is a wash issue, and you have to fly the plane in a way to avoid creating such a situation. It's not so much to do with AS3X OR SAFE in this case, if I'm understanding you 100% (Which I might not be)...
      Think of it like this...
      no air moving over the elevator = loss of pitch authority
      ...so you have to keep that laminar air flow moving all the time, and don't "block" it with the wing.
      I think the Sirius and the T-7A both have the very far back wing, and might just be somewhat susceptible to it, since there's small SEPARATE ELEVATORS too...this meaning, when you give stick input, the plane CAN veer off to the right or left with a very minuet differential in control horn and elevator output.
      I hope this makes sense, and might be of some assistance in helping to resolve your concern.
      I don't think the AR630/AR631 has anything specifically to do with it, in this case. I've had similar happen with Vector / Reflex equipped planes too, if this helps ;)

    Thanks for the build Brian, came in handy today whilst building mine. Regarding Medium CA glue for the tail and vertical stabilisers, I've noticed that the once tight fit after glueing has now got a small 1mm gap after 2 hrs of curing. As if the glue has expanded a bit. Any ideas how to avoid this for any future builds? The glue got tacky very fast but I followed your method of squeezing it on both pieces then spreading it with a cotton bud. Was almost immediately set once I pushed them together. Did I take to long to piece together? Thanks

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  3 роки тому

      Sometimes this happens. With China glue (Foam 2 Foam) I've had good luck in this regard, but with CA, it sets quick enough to avoid this "sag".
      Also with China Glue, you can let it "cook off" longer and make it a sticky surface FIRST, then you can press them together and they'll be ready to use in like 3-5 minutes! NO EXAGGERATION ;)
