I love the P51d version which I fly with the tx16s, my corsair version has fpv camera on it wired into the planes power source and it does fly ok, in intermediate mode you can do loops but not barrel rolls, great little planes
@@CurryKitten i put the camera near the cot pit so my camera was very close to cg, I wanted to film fuselage and props as well what i could see ground wise
Those little Eachine planes are great fun flying with an FPV camera (in the woods). They're tiny and not too fast. The A6M looks pretty much like my F4U.
A couple of points about these little toys. 1 As this reviewer discovered, those pop-off props are a great idea BUT can be VERY hard to see in the weeds when they fly off. Get a coloured marker/thin paint and make 'em a bright colour. Following usual business practice they are bloody expensive to replace also! 🙄 2 The 3-bladers DO break easier than the 2-bladers. Leave them for display purposes. 3 Same for the wheels. Fly over grass without them! 4 Using coordinated rudder/aileron/elevator these can be spun around very smartly in Intermediate mode. 5 The Return function acts like the Headless/RTH function on cheap toy quads. Noobs who don't understand EXACTLY how it works should leave it alone if they don't want to lose their brand new toy! 6 Though they are suitable for anybody in the stabilized modes, they are very difficult to trim out and fly smoothly even with a quality multi protocol radio in the Expert mode. Self-styled "I've been flying for 99 years and know everything about model flying " old fools need not apply. These will soon sort out the Top Gun boys from the men! 😊
I think so - it's really hard to break it as long as you are flying over grass. The only thing holding it back is needing those calm conditions, but if you've got the right area for it, it's a lovely first plane
I could tell you were really enjoying flying this Mitsubishi Zero. I’m impressed as I usually shy away from small fixed wing since there usually unstable and too fast for me to keep them close by and I lose sight. Really nice setup.
Yes - I was expecting it to be quite a handful, but as long as you don't yank the elevator around that stability system makes it easy to fly it nice and close in and relatively slow
The Volantex/Lanyu V761 series of little foamies has had the X-pilot system for at least the last 8 years. It features - 1 beginner/angle/self-leveling with pitch and roll restrictions - 2 intermediate/horizon/self-leveling with no pitch limits and extended roll limits - 3 full manual modes. It does not have (and never has had) a mode equivalent to E-flite's AS3X (gyro/wind correction only) mode. "Eachine" is only the Banggood in-house re-brand label that they apply to products from all sorts of manufacturers. You can buy these in the UK under the "Sonik" re-brand label, in America under the "Rage" and "Top Race" re-brand labels, another 1 from Austria that eludes me now and no doubt many more. Heck, if the fancy took you, you could contact the factory with a substantial bulk order and get them with your own name and smiling face on the box there, Tokyo Rose! 😉 Also nice to see that Horizon Slobby may (finally!!!) be getting away from their business model of selling only beer-cooler foam light (and so easily damaged) EPS styrofoam models (then being able to skin the poor silly punters for spare parts) with their UMX Ultrix and Ultrix 600 twin deltas (though they have been reported as having motor mount, motor bearing and propeller and shaft fragility issues to continue the spare parts scam.) 😊
Good review.....these little light planes i found back when....to require more skill than larger offerings....It certainly seems to soak up punishment very well...and flies a ridiculous length of time on such a small battery....Price with the discount voucher is reasonable for all that it offers ....so i`m tempted to to buy this as well as the cheap little quad that you reviewed last week that i ordered and await delivery....just for the hell of it!!! and a bit of fun from my norm. Very enjoyable viewing as usual.
Yes - I was certainly a bit concerned. That little wing I held up is quite a handful even in FPV, but I have to say that stab system on it is first class
They look blue and red on my one (although it doesn't mean it's the same on all of them) it should be pretty obvious which are the motor wires though, as the only other wires you can see in the hatch have the battery connector on them
THANKS, in the pas time, i bough a minicessna, and in 5flies the motor was end, the colors were white and black, and the brush motor were broken in 5 flies .@@CurryKitten
Ah - I see. I think it would be an interesting build, but honestly I don't think I have enough finesse to do it well. I'd prefer to use something which can do a bit more and is a bit bigger. I have the stuff to convert over my original ZOHD Dart to iNav (it has a similar (very good) Zohd stabilization system in there before.
It's hung up somewhere so not to hand, but I do remember it being quite a lot. Probably explains one of the reasons I did so bad in advanced. Should just be a case of adding a few dual rates to calm things down though.
If ever you want to change the Brushed motor for a Brushless motor on the same Flight Controller ee have a Tiny B2BL Module Converter for 1S and 2S mini planes. www.laserbeelpm.com/products-other.html BTW these Eachine Mini Planes can be bound to a TX16S using Protocol MULTI/V761
Thanks for that info. I just happen to have one of those dodgy MPM with less than the required memory onboard, but I'll have to see if I have a build with V761 on there
I wanna get the same model but I'm a noob and don't have any experience in flying rc planes, I'm afraid I might wrecked the model in first flight maybe I would still get it but only for display 😂
The good news here that - even as a beginner, this is flyable. Just make sure you a) have close to a windless day, b) have a field with a soft place to crash (like long grass) and c) that you keep it in the beginner/mid modes. If you get all that, it really is a doddle, just steer it around gently with rudder and aileron and the rest will pretty much take care of itself

fun little warbird.. thx for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!

That's good to know. Maybe I'll add one in. I saw you mention that they can run a little tail heavy. Popping the AIO camera unit is a nice fix there?
@@CurryKitten i put the camera near the cot pit so my camera was very close to cg, I wanted to film fuselage and props as well what i could see ground wise
Intermediate mode will still stop full roll onless you use acro button.
@flwoods1 Yes, that's what I said, you can't do rolls, but you can do loops
Those little Eachine planes are great fun flying with an FPV camera (in the woods). They're tiny and not too fast. The A6M looks pretty much like my F4U.
I hear they handle the weight of an AIO without much of a problem?

Cheers - makes me feel better than people find these hard to trim up in manual/expert mode :)
That looked great fun and quite robust. Maybe a perfect first plane? Decent battery life too.

Wedge a vtx03 in the cockpit!
yes - several people have mentioned it handles the camera weight fine, and I just so happen to have.few little AIO units I can use
Fun stuff !

The umx planes are the most enjoyable. Especially any umx cub. They fly slow enough for the smallest of backyards
And when you crash it's not a $400 + model.. alittle hot glue and your good to go
I don't know anyone who has one of these little marvels that can fly them reliably on full manual. They are a lot of fun.
There tail heavy so i used a small weight at the front which improved things, there great little fliers
Thanks my making me feel better about my awful LOS flying :)
there is a slightly bigger version 560mm that fly just as nice! xk a280

GOOD VIDEO,can you tell me what colour are the motor wires? You can see them in the motor compartimentTHANKS, thi is very important to me.

You can make a 2s inav6 conversion. This would be epic❤
On 2S i think the motor would melt :D
@@CurryKitten I meant 2S battery with a 2S whoop motor, blheli ESC, FC running Inav6, GPS, FPV. Complete autonomous micro build.
Ah - I see. I think it would be an interesting build, but honestly I don't think I have enough finesse to do it well. I'd prefer to use something which can do a bit more and is a bit bigger.

This must of been Monday!!
Yes - the only decent day in moths and months!
Is impossible to land with those small wheel, crash land slowly and grass is the key to happiness!
what amount of throws did you get out of the box? I got 45 deg aileron throw, + 5 deg - 20 Deg elevator, 30 deg rudder......unflyable
It's hung up somewhere so not to hand, but I do remember it being quite a lot. Probably explains one of the reasons I did so bad in advanced. Should just be a case of adding a few dual rates to calm things down though.
