Can't thank you enough for your content and the way it improves my planes, piloting, and flying experience in general. Tip my hat at your landing on the 14:00 mark in this video; inspired me to purchase the E-flite Cirrus SR22T along with the AGFRC B11 DLS Servos.
Jon thank you for making real reviews on these airplanes. As consumers we deserve honest opinions about these products. I look forward to your future content 😊
@TwoBrosRC thank you sir. Ordered my ESC programmer last night for the rev thrust, I use a TX16S tx. Although that ix20 of yours seems awesome. I'm only 3 months into the hobby so didn't wanna go all in at first 😅
Great Demo Jon i throw the sticks in the corners on my SR22 Cirrus all the time but ive learned to only do it with some altitude cause with a high wing aspect ratio this bird will go into an accelerated spin pretty easy and it will sometimes take you 3 mistakes high to get out of it just wanted people to know that about this model.
Jon, you were spot on. I’ve always been high wing snob, no more for me, the stability and absolute beauty of this machine makes it a definite 9 + for me. Thank you for always being 100% objective! Love this plane!
We have to wait for 22nd July for this to appear in the UK. But mine is already pre-ordered on the recommendation of your flight comments. It looks very harmonious on the controls from the smoothness of its envelope. I cant wait to try this out for myself... Great flying Jon. Best wishes from Rolfy Dave in the UK 🇬🇧 👏
Thanks Jon, your reviews are superb. I always learn something. Could you please provide a link for the wheels used on this beautiful model. Cheers, Brad
Sure thing Brad, thank you. Here's the exact wheel set I used: amzn.to/3HAo8DD There's only four left in stock for now but I anticipate that they'll come back into stock soon. Edit: Fixed it to point at the low bounce wheels instead of the rock hard versions.
I love this model, and I also took your advise on the metal gear servos. They work great. This plane Flys excellent, and looks amazing doing it. I hope horizon makes an 80-90mm sf-50 soon.
@@TwoBrosRC Gladly, this is great. Awesome content as always btw! Can’t wait for my cirrus to arrive now. Will leave the Sérvia alone for now but will order the dubro wheels that you used for sure.
Nice model and nice job of flying it. Actually, I would like to see how you do a servo replacement with the metal gear servos with some detailed comments on placement and control geometry on whatever model you care to do it on. Thanks!
I have a Dynam SR22 and it is a great flyer, my only concern with the Dynam one is there is no wing spar, the wings are just glued together. someday I will probably tear them appart and shove a dowl in or something. I wonder though if parts from the Eflite SR22 are simlar to the dynam one
They might be but I doubt they're going to fit together. Nice Amtrak avatar, BTW! I actually just took a cross-country train trip from Raleigh to DC, then DC to Chicago, then Chicago to SF - and back again. Did it last summer. Amtrak is my favorite way to travel.
Hello Jon, great informational video. Where the servo wires long enough in the wings to make it to the fuselage? I had my rudder servo crap out on me in-flight and was able to get it down in good shape. Going to replace these things because I like this model a lot.
I’ve had version 1 of this Cirrus for five years and I love it. It still flies very well. I’m debating on the FMS Pitts 1.4 or version 2 of this Cirrus? Any suggestions?
Hi from Michigan: Well done video. I also fly this Cirrus. Had to replace the rudder / nose wheel servo three times. Have you had this problem and if so, do you have a cure. Thanks 🚂
i m a bit of general aviation freak .i really like your flying style & i was on the fence whether to buy this model or not , after seeing you fly this model . i m definitely odering one . it would have been really great to see if you could show how you tidied up the all the servo connectors after connecting Ailerons for two seperate channels. believe it or not i m watching this video for the third time now. thanks Jon for posting such quality contents .
Did I hear that you replaced the servos, or did you mention the quality of the included OEM servos? Ah you did replace them, did you proactively replace them or did you have a servo failure?
We replaced the servos with tinyurl.com/B11DLS units from AGFRC prior to flying it. It's not necessary but they're definitely more precise and have more torque.
I had some sticker shock last year when I bought it, but haven't regretted it ever. It handles well, the gimbals feel amazing, and it does basically everything I want.
Just started watching your channel... great setups and flying. I noticed that you often change the receiver and almost always change the servos. Would you explain the changes and why? I wouldn't tend to change those items so what might be the difference between the plane you're flying with changes and what I'd be flying as stock? Thanks.
Hi David, thanks for popping in. Hope you'll stick around! I change servos because they're either plastic geared (as they are with this model) or because they're not up to the task of what I want them to do. Or, honestly, because a lot of stock servos are imprecise and I don't like that. Receiver changes are done when I want an additional antenna or more servo channels to control flight surfaces in a unique way. I don't think there would be a huge change from this model from how I fly it to how someone would fly it in stock config. Mine is just far less likely to damage or strip a servo's gears from the way I fly it, so it's cheap insurance for me to make sure this model lasts for a long time.
@Two Brothers Radio Control How did you replaced the servos? Isn't it tricky with the quick connector on the inside of the wing? And which servos would you recommend for flying it more acrobatic like in this video? Keep it up mate, greetings from germany
Correct me if I am wrong, but you are commenting on its stability yet at the beginning you indicate you have SAFE turned on. So, not a very fair evaluation, is it? or does everyone use SAFE these days except me? it is beautiful and it is next on my list.
How are you I had my eyes on this plane and it bad ass.i come from flying Helicopter now trying planes got my first EDF Jet 70mm BAe Hawk it's fast only thing I'm no good at landing but I get it down. I was wondering do you still have that plane
Did those Dubro wheels fit without any modification needed? Are those the 2 1/4 treaded Dubro Low bounce wheels? Thanks for your video! I ordered this plane😊👍🏾 Can you show a closer look of those wheels on your next video?... Thumbs-up from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷
I shall, and I did 🤓. Nice review Jon. It's a very capable plane for having small elevator/rudder. The thin main wing really helps it maneuver around much more than one would think. The "look" of this one is growing on me....a little. Did you replace all servos?? I took a look at them, I may get some. AirHammer out!!
Hey man! Totally replaced all the servos with tinyurl.com/B11DLS - plastic geared servos are no bueno. I won't fly at the airport with a potential critical failure point like plastic servos.
Ah, I see you have changed the channel name between when I ordered this plane and received and maidened it in very gusty conditions (not preferred but really wanted to try it). Loved it. Did also buy the metal gear servos but have not installed them. I did try to maximize the throw but it was already virtually at maximum, anything beyond that simply stalled the servo as there was no more throw. Would the metal gear servos be different? More to the point though is I have listened many times to your ‘explanation’ of the extra servo lead but I am confused. It seems the Y lead is for the flap. Is it cut at the receiver or at the wing connection block. From what point on the connection block (center aileron?) to where on the receiver are you running it. The only possible connection point would be the “0” position which is the non channel binding plug position. The channel 5 position holds the lights. Did you move that to the bind position (since I believe all it needs is power) and then use the channel 5? What servo are you connecting to that. And then what wing/tail type are you assigning the plane? Sorry for all the questions but I love the way your plane flies and want to follow in your airsteps. Thanks for your help and advice.
The B11DLS servos will throw to full potential if you've set them to 150% rates and reprogrammed the receiver. All the setup info is in the back end of the vid which should cover most questions. I cut the aileron lead at the point where it connects to the receiver and crimped a new servo lead onto it with a DuPont connector and then ran the separate aileron lead into the fifth channel. Lights can be run off the bind port, there's no good reason to run them off a servo channel.
@@TwoBrosRC Thanks for your quick response Jon and for confirming bind/channel 5 and lights. I don’t think I can extend the aileron travel, they are already at maximum but, I presume the new servos might be faster and further presume that putting the ailerons on separate channels not only allows individual aileron travel adjustments but more importantly, provides each servo with full current (rather than sharing on one wire/channel) which should greatly increase speed of response. This is probably why your roll rate is faster than mine/stock. Am I missing anything? Again thanks for your excellent guidance.
@@TwoBrosRC Spliced in a new connector for L Ail (cut off Y lead), put it in ch 5 (set rcv input gear to Ail and Rx port Gear to Ail), lights to prior binding position. Aircraft type set to 1 Ail and 1 flap (or 2, either works) but no other setting of Ail works (results in peculiar mixed operations of flaps and ailerons). Bound to make Safe active and assigned to switch A. All works except L Ail does not move on either A3X or Safe. Tried rebinding to no effect. Have NX8 and can not get into Avian to reprogram for Reverse or other settings. How do I fix these issues? Thanks and sorry to still be coming back for guidance!
Jon if you like this TG plane, have you tried the Eflite 1.2m T-28? I just picked one up but still haven't flown it for more than 2 seconds at full throttle as it's a rocket.
Hey Jon, how are the 2.25 in low bounce tires from Dubro that you put in? I spoke to horizon hobby and they told me it was going to be a tight squeeze. So I wanted to know if that was true from your experience. Thank you
They worked fine for me, no squeeze that I saw. The nose gear is slightly narrow on the wheel pant but it fits absolutely fine and rolls with no issues at all.
Jon, i knkw this video is ancient and all. But, it would be a huge help if you could dig deep into your memory vault and tell me about the motor replacement you mention during the flights. My Cirrus Eflite BL10 motor is clunking a little. And ive read some harsh reviews about that motor. I LOVE my Cirrus. Ive done plenty of FMS plane motor swaps. But this is that goofy Timber/Airtractor motor mount situation. Since the HH website isnt selling the replacement motor (i searched all 3 planes "Replacement parts" tabs-it shows the BL10, but there's no price and no Add to Cart button). So, i was wondering if you recall which replacement motor you used in yours. I'll happily use your links if you can provide 'em, when i buy it. Which i am definitely doing asap. Did i mention i love this plane? 😊 Thanks in Advance. 👍
Motor replacement... it's been two years this this vid released. Not sure what you're referring to. Got a time stamp? If you hop on Discord you can ask follow-up questions that won't get lost in the YT comment clutter: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
@@TwoBrosRCSorry. 18:18 on this video. But, my bad totally. I misheard you regarding the RV7 motor and this motor. If you watch the few seconds after 18:18 you'll see that I just heard what I wanted to hear. Not what I actually heard. 😊 Anyway, if you do have any motor swap experience with either the Cirrus or TTE, I'd love to hear it. If not, I'll definitely hop into Discord. I'm not much of a webchat dude- other than comments here. But, I've had nothing but positive experiences on the 2Bros discord. Thanks for responding. And of course for the awesome content. 👍
Oh, that was a reference to the RV-7 using the Maule motor and prop combo as you noted. No worries lol The stock motor on the Cirrus is the same as a Timber, it should be one of the most durable components in that plane. Unlike the motors Flex sells, E-flite motors tend to hold up to normal flying and abuse quite well. Cheers bud
You'd be better off with a model like the full sized Turbo Timber. It's a bit more versatile and not as easy to mess up landings with. Spare parts are cheap too. If you'd like to support us, you can pick one up from bit.ly/3RiWI92
This one so far. I just started doing actual scoring on these models so I may begin going back through my catalog of models and reviewing them all properly going forward. I've never flown a 10/10 model yet.
@@TwoBrosRC I live in a highrise condo and it's impossible for me to safely go through sets of hallway doors to get to the garage with anything bigger than 1.3m
You think that $299 is a low/reasonable price point?? Just because your EDFs are over $500 doesn't make this cheap in my world. It's just FOAM! But still I enjoy your channel.
Yeah, it's pretty reasonable. You can't price the aircraft based on it being composed of foam. It's also made of carbon fiber and plastic, and includes an ESC that's $69.99 alone and a receiver that's nearly $120 in the open stock configuration. Additionally, it has proper hinges for almost every flight surface. $299 is a steal. The electronics for the ESC, motor, and receiver are about $200.

They're different models with unique flight characteristics. I prefer the Cirrus though.

You'd be better off with a model like the full sized Turbo Timber. It's a bit more versatile and not as easy to mess up landings with. Spare parts are cheap too. If you'd like to support us, you can pick one up from bit.ly/3RiWI92
Why are you using a 2-bladed prop on the TurboTimber?
What size did you choose?
Because it draws fewer amps and reduces stress on the ESC along with having more thrust. We use a 13x4 propeller with the Timber spinner.
"Yesterday night"... there's a word for that. Lol
???
@@TwoBrosRC last night. Haha... just teasing a bit. This was a great review.
Can you make new veidio for changing metal ge a r servos for cirus sr22t 1.5m
Nope - it should be super simple to do though!
Which airplanes did you score 9 & 10 out of 10?
This one so far. I just started doing actual scoring on these models so I may begin going back through my catalog of models and reviewing them all properly going forward. I've never flown a 10/10 model yet.
For $300, I expect full paint, metal gear servos, decals that actually stay in place and no foam hinges.
I'm with you on that. Thankfully, this Cirrus hits MOST of that criteria hence the higher score.
The hatch will fly off at high speed…ask me how I know!🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️🤣
magnetic catches...don't trust 'em
Not sure how it could, I flew the absolute crap out of it and it never came loose at all.
@@TwoBrosRC I forgot about the motor and speed control upgrade…I got it when it was new🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂 If you upgrade the power system, add a latch!🤣🤣
How can i join the discord server??
I removed the invite link because I left the server pending some changes in management. When I rejoin, I'll put the link back in the description.
I basically resolved it, so here's the link: discord.gg/hXyQZhNX
Do you have a 10/10 plane ?
The Rafale 80mm from FMS is a 10 for us but only in flight.
Too big, wish it was 1.3m
1.5m vs 1.3m isn't a huge difference in the air or on the ground, honestly.
@@TwoBrosRC I live in a highrise condo and it's impossible for me to safely go through sets of hallway doors to get to the garage with anything bigger than 1.3m
That's why you take the wings off. It disassembles easily!
The only thing uglier than a Cessna is a Cirrus.
🆗
You think that $299 is a low/reasonable price point?? Just because your EDFs are over $500 doesn't make this cheap in my world. It's just FOAM! But still I enjoy your channel.
Yeah, it's pretty reasonable. You can't price the aircraft based on it being composed of foam. It's also made of carbon fiber and plastic, and includes an ESC that's $69.99 alone and a receiver that's nearly $120 in the open stock configuration. Additionally, it has proper hinges for almost every flight surface. $299 is a steal. The electronics for the ESC, motor, and receiver are about $200.
Yes...what did you think this should be !!!
