Hey there Hecht. I really enjoyed your Bearcat videos. That is a beautiful airplane and just happens to be my brother-in-laws favorite airplane. His name is Greg and my other brother-in-law Chad loves the F6F Hellcat. I think you may know them.
Awesome review! I have the 4S panther, and it's incredible for such a small jet. Probably holding out in hopes FW or someone does an 80 or 90mm. I have the Cougar, and yes it is a bit pricey but the features including the gyro (which works well just with the default setting) makes it worth it, but..just something about that straight wing, I really prefer it. That pack you fly is HUGE! Amazed at how slow it lands -:)
Yeah, us boomers love the F9F Panther, I guess because of “The Bridges at Toko-Ri”. Someone really should make an 80mm version with lights. I get 4 minutes with a 4000 mAh pack. Mine will suddenly quit flying and drop during the flare, but it doesn’t drop a wingtip. I use an AR8360T and enabled reverse; however, it’s not that effective. If any surfaces move too far, I make sure the linkage is in the outer hole on the control horn and then move the linkage in on the servo arm. I don’t like to decrease the throw in my transmitter. See my latest video on how I configure AS3X+ and SAFE..
Also, I assume one of the reasons for Priority is to provide a way for the gyro gains to decrease to zero at or before full stick deflection when flying in low rates. With the old default of 160, you could lower the dual rates to 40% and the gain would decrease to zero at full stick deflection. In high rates (100%), the gain would decrease to zero at 40% of stick deflection. Since I never use a rate lower than 50%, I've been setting the Priority to 150. The new default of 140 makes the gain decrease to zero at 60% of travel/stick deflection. In SAFE mode, the angle limits don't work correctly unless the transmitter is sending 100% travel. This is why I put the receiver's flight modes channel on my rate switch (B). It gives me low rates with AS3X, high rates with AS3X, and SAFE mode with high rates (100%). Since SAFE mode is always set to 100% travel, I set the Priority for that flight mode to 100. And actually, I could set the Priority in the other two flight modes to match the travel, but I just leave them set to 150. I'm not sure I could see any difference as long as the gyro gain decreases to zero at full stick deflection.
Anyone else had issues with the new as3x+ causing the ele an rud center to move where the plane was climbing an rudder causing the plane to roll left hard I thought it was just me but I flew 3 other planes that I had upgraded and were otherwise mechanically trimmed and minimal digital trim and they were all the same rudder to the left and claimed like crazy I had to re trim 4 planes that were trimmed fine and they have all had as3x + since the firmware update came out
Love the Panther and thought the deep sea blue is a close perfect with the spot on sheen. Thanks for taking your time to make the video!
I enjoy my F9F, great flyer.

Man, you gotta love the Panther! Thanks for sharing this one 😎👍
@@JustwingitRC shes a great lil flyer

Yeah that flies very noice😊 love the mic....and totally agree need a bigger 90 mm fan version.
Awesome video. Second favorite 70mm, F22 70 being the first. I am getting 5 minutes on a 4k.

Yes, a larger Panther for the cow pasture runway...
I told them 2 years ago to come out with a 80 or 90mm ,but it fell on def ears I guess.

@@Tanker831 very strange. Never had that happen. Ive converted about a dozen modeks to as3x+ so far
