Well everyone - the UA-cam "gods" have spoken - you get this video today, evidently, and not when we scheduled it to be release next Tuesday - LOL!!! Thanks UA-cam - You're the best!!!
Hope you all enjoy it - Brian and Megan
Kudos to Camera Crew.. I watch a lot of RC vids and her ability to stay with the plane and keep it focused is unmatched
Couldn't agree more! She is good!!!
And you say you’re not a good pilot...HA! I like you talking through the flight and telling us and Camera Crew what you are doing.
throttle management pro too.. that's why he gets the crazy long flight times that I will never get
Thanks Guys ;) I can at least agree that I'm always learning (from my crashes - LOL) ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Same lol
I love how this plane flies and I like how you talk through it when you are flying this plane so beginners can understand how to fly it.
I'm very glad you're enjoying this! Thanks for being here with us!
Thanks for all your videos. Just was able to successfully fly my AeroScout without crashing. I’m glad your videos are long and drawn out for the fact nothing goes by without discussing it. Keep it up.
That's why we do it, but it's gotta be annoying when I break off into a tangent that you may have already heard, so for that reason, accept my future apologies for your future frustration ;) It's for the "new" pilots out there. I suspect you GET IT NOW, but might forget in a few years ;)
Glad we could help you out! Hope you'll be back for more too - thanks for being here with us!
Recommendations for a 2nd plane?
Ein Jahr später....
Darf Ich sie fragen, wie viel Flugzeuge sie mittlerweile haben??? Aero Scout war der Anfang.
Liebe Grüße ✌️
Can't wait until i receive my pre-order. So glad you gave it such a nice review Brian. For marking CG I take a piece of black electrical tape stuck to wax paper and make a bunch of dots with a whole punch. Whenever I have a new plane to mark, I grab a couple of dots and stick them to the spot. Easy to feel with my fingers, nice and clean and no bad karma digging dents into my new plane.
Cool idea! I think they sell these dots at the office supply store, but how do you feel them? I used to make a drip of hot glue on clear tape, but I found that they were tough to see (kinda the point too) but you could really get the plane to balance on your finger nicely ;)
I've had this RV-7 for 1.5 yrs now and already put 25 flights on it without incident. So I just decided to enable reverse thrust on this. And while testing reverse, my prop nut and spinner blew off. I'm so glad that this didn't happen while in the air!
I figured you already had one to review Brian! It's a sweet one and you make it look good as always. I wasn't aware that they put a reversing ESC inside so that was a bonus.
Of course he had one, release day is the first. Pilot Ryan, RC Informer and a few other Horizon sponsered rc pilots will have their videos up shortly.
Yeah, we've had this one done for some time, but the shipping delays lead HH to wisely hold off on the release date ;) Good call - for once, we could share a plane people could ACTUALLY ORDER! I know pre-order is such a bummer!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Amd still it looks like December for delivery in EU.
Brian . Thank you for your detailed setup video . I just go my RV7 today ( my 2nd plane) and was able to set it up while watching and pausing your video . Now I am just waiting for Mother Nature to give me a good flying day !
Awesome!!! Good luck Tim!
Brian. Another nice release from Horizon. I’m impressed with the SMART tech they are offering in these planes. Nice. LIGHTS. Kudos for that as well. Keep promoting lights for these models. Not a very expensive option and gives you a little more time to play at the field. 👍👍😉
For sure! LED's are so necessary in the fall too! Daylight Wasting Time is coming soon ;(
Enjoyable video camera crew, and Brian, this plane has been added to my need to get list along with several others. You make things look so easy on your flight demos, hopefully I will achieve your skill levels this decade.
Thanks, and this plane is fairly easy to fly, but it's more capable that I expected, so she'll about fly her own wings off!
37:17 so true! I’ve been putting the whole fam in sims before they fly anything. My 9 year old nephew flew his first pack after about an hour in the sim, on his phone.
Amazing flying Mr. Phillips
Yep! Everyone learns differently, but I prefer the "real deal" and crashing a lot... LOL
I built an RV7A QB tip up in 2500hours - one of the best experiences of my life! I had the previous RV9 from E-flite but have been waiting for ages for a decent 7 in a park flyer size and finally, it's here. I was always partial to the 7A configuration (tricycle) so mine will be converted for sure and it is very strange to me to see an RV making any other noise than the Wetterman exhaust makes so a sound module is a must for me. The only other thing is obviously a repaint in my aircraft's colors - can't wait!
AWESOME! You still have it? Very cool! Do you have two seats in yours? Is it considered SPORT or EXPERIMENTAL?
Great video and instructions, Bryan. Thanks to your inputs on the Eflite T28 and the Turbo Timber Evolution, I was able to program the RV7 for thrust reversing. The RV7 came with an Avian Smart Lite ESC and no instructions in the manual on how to do that. Apparently only kits with the regular Avian Smart ESC includes instructions in the manual. Works great now. Thanks again. Paul Z.
Sweet! Glad you got it figured out - and it's soooo cool, isn't it?!??!
Nice plane. Excellent review. LOVE the easy assembly! From now on all HH planes should be as easy as this!
Me too! We're getting spoiled by some of these 10 minute builds!!!!
I have the Commander and the RV-7, Both incredible airplanes. Commander needs 4s. RV-7 fly's and lands better on 3s. I removed the wheel covers on both airplanes and put on Du-Bro 3" slim, light weight, low bounce, wheels. Big improvement. Factory wheels are horrible. RV-7 fly's and lands fantastic in strong raggedy wind. Both airplanes are very versatile.
Great flight Brian, (as always) and well done unbox and review. Very attractive bird from HH. As you stated, that size plane gives a lot of flexibility for enthusiasts that already own smaller mAh 3S and 4S batteries..
Totally agree - GREAT PLANE!
Got a little stick time in a real RV-7. HH sure nailed this one!
That's awesome!!
Sweet!
Looks like a great addition to the fleet
Totally!
11-7 3 blade prop 850kv motor 45amp ESC 4S In that size plane Holy smokes that thing zips along very well Great looking plane also Even on 3S it looked like it had unlimited vertical Didn't look like it was having any trouble climbing Nice flying Brian greased the landings as well 🔥👍 Great job as always Camera Crew 🔥👍✌️
It sure was more powerful that I thought it might be!!!
One of Horizons and Spectrums best salesmen for sure! 👍
Thanks ;) We really appreciate you being here with us!
Again it looks awesome flying. I have never flown fixed wing and would love to learn some day. Helicopters have been very challenging just to fly without stability mode on.
Flying heli's is harder in many ways, so if you can do it, fixed wing will be a pretty easy thing for you.
Great video ! Camera crew ! Wow......
Definitely a show stopper
It's a winner, for sure!
Brian, I always love your reviews, you are my new top favorite RC pilot for reviews. You helped me a lot with my E-Flite Cherokee, it was way to floaty on landings like yours was also. I saw you push your LiPo forward about an inch or so then it settled in for landings much better. Mine was way to tail heavy too, it was like trying to (comically) land a hot air balloon. I ended up changing my CG from 120mm. to 115mm and now with little to no power coming in for landings it slowly settles down and just a touch of up ELE for gentle flares, but will float back up with more than just a touch of up ELE, thank you! And I notice with your RV flaps, it seems you have a 2 to 3 second delay? On all my flaps planes I had a 2 second delay, but have changed them all to a 3 second delay, less immediate flaps effect, and eases more into the new flaps settings. Again, I love your reviews, much appreciated, thank you!
Thanks, and yeah, I'll sometimes throw in a 3 second or longer (rarely) to allow the plane to keep from ballooning with LESS elevator correction. This is usually best on planes that I don't plan to fly in full flaps...some I DO, meaning, I only really put down the landing flaps for landings...I know sounds a bit obvious, but I fly the whole flight envelope of most planes, meaning I LOVE to use flaps, both takeoff and landing flaps to get the plane to do exactly what I want, while flying, not just while landing ;)
P.S. I love flaps ;) They're so much more than just aids for landing.
Good advice. Coordinated flight is critical when slow in turns. Not using rudder is why many full scale pilots die going slow and nose high. Ya stall a wing and it spins in.
Yeah, for sure!
Brian you awsom,, i bought RV-7. watched when you got it and assembled i and you loved it. I flew it for the rirs time before easter time ,,, just a test flight.
Then the weather i Norway was perfecto to test fly it.. No wind but 12 degre c.. we dont use faren hariheit .. this fly like a quine or a king of a hill.. to day is windy and weather forecast is 20 to 35 miles a sec.. this RV-7 handelied it so perfeckto.. Brian Phillips i i folled you for a long time ,,, i Got an Airplain From Horison its a Russian Acro Called "Sokhoi Su-29MM (Gen 2).. My daddy bought this for me for my Birthday november 05.. This was in 2017..
I know you been testing and fly the EXTRA 300 .. this is like s rocket when you put up rudder it gose to the sky before you knew... "gone by the wind . with a 4 cell lipo.. 3600Mah
I like to cache your video and your engmarkene with your wife that sometimes say watch te manual she point on the page , i love it somtimear you iger and sehe correct you ,, you to are the sme my wife corret me ,,
Great job, thank you guys.
Thank you G Bro
HI BRIAN AND CAMARA CREW. IM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS PLANE. HORIZON HOBBY HAS DONE IT AGAIN. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO SIR WITH PERFECT FILMING AS ALWAYS. THANKS FOR POSTING SIR 🇬🇧 BRIAN PHILLIPS RC 🇺🇸🗽♥️🕊️👍✌️
It is a great plane for sure!
Can’t wait for mine to arrive!!!
You'll love it Luke!
That thing is bad ass and the price is wonderful!
It's the FULL package!!!
6:44 oh show off lol! Awesome landing!
Thanks! Wish I could always do that!!! Flying a great plane does significantly improve your odds ;)
Hi Brian .I called tech at tower. They said that the extra lead on the RV 7 is a programming lead. Just letting you know. I really appreciate you and the Camera crew for what you are doing.
Thanks Bruce! Glad to know!
👏👏👏👏 for you Brian! 👏👏👏👏 for the new HH rc plane! Fantastic!!
Thanks!
Nice. I am buying a Bellanca Super Viking soon. Back to full scale.
Sweet! Used? New???
Sweet flight, nice job filming C.C.
Thanks George!
Hi Brian & Megan, well done. A great video indeed.
🇦🇺😷🦘🐨
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks!
Hay brother we miss talking to you and your lovely wife and you are the best tech support I have ever used haha hope things are well at home I have been having heart problems and they can’t find out what’s going on god bless y’all and tell the kiddos and wife I said hello
So sorry to hear this Chris! I'll pass along the hello's. Hope you'll get it figured out, with your heart.
Hey Brian, Just ordered the RV-7. Do you have a video, or would you consider making a dedicated video where you discuss transmitter switch logic for the Spektrum DX/NX series? Not looking for "how" to set up the switches, but rather the "why" of which switch, switch direction for on/off - up/down, etc. Something like a Best Practices video. I've never seen good instruction on this aspect of RC flying and would like to see the logic behind the selections from a trusted source. Thanks to you and Megan for your good effort, and excellent videos. BTW, the step-by-step narrative while flying/taxiing is super helpful.
I understand what you want, and don't have one...we just have hundreds of step by step videos that show how I do stuff...but most of this is somewhat subjective. There isn't a "Right way" (best practice) unless you want to ascribe me the arbiter of "best practice" :) While that would be flattering, it would not be very fair to those who've been at this hobby for many more decades than I...
We'll see about working some of this into our footage.
I like it .looks way better quality than the sr22 that i have
I think it's way more "tight" but it's also a FIRE-CRACKER!!!!
Nice job with the entire video. Mine is on the way from HH. I have a tight space to takeoff and land in. I'm looking for to it!
You can take it off with a hand launch if you wanted too! She's a super capable plane, and super high energy!!!
Nice. I am getting one w/ your link. I almost feel bad commenting now that I know you feel like you have to reply to every one. Happy Landings!
Don't feel bad - Thanks for ordering Mr K ;)
Brian, I just received mine today via FedEx, and did most of assembly. I'm watching your video again for the transmitter set up on my NX8 Radio. One thing I noticed that all these E-Flight models the wheels are very noisy because of the tolerance's are not good. IE wheel hubs holes are drilled to big for the fit on the axles and there is no keepers to keep the wheels from moving side to side to much. The planes I use to make, I used Dubro Wheels and Collars on both sides of the wheel. Obviously there tolerance's where really good back in the day. If you had a 3/32 axel the hub was drilled just a tiny bit larger. I don't know how there wheels are made now. I'm hoping they are as good as they use to be. My plan is to change all of them to them or maybe insert a brass bushing into these wheels and put collars on them. But all this new merchandise is all in metric. We will see. I purchased 5 E-Flight planes via your links. This model, T28 1.1m, Night Timber 1.2m, Extra 300 1.3m and the Ultrix. The only plane I wasn't able to buy from your links is the FMS P-47 Radzorback 1500mm, so you guys could get the commission on all of them. But the wheels on that plane are ball bearing and they are really scale. The retracts on that plane you would love. I asked you in the past on one of other videos if you would be building it, because I would have used your link for that model also! And I do watch your video's all the way thru. Keep them coming! I really like all the little innuendos you guys do. There are very entertaining. Your wife giggles crack me up. LOL ;) One question, would you ever put a Specktrum G2 4S 3300mAh 50C in the RV-7?
3300mah 4S in the RV7 would be a bit large, but you can probably get the CG okay.
As for the wheel play....have you considered some grease? I don't know how you could keep it IN there, but maybe some white lithium grease would work??? I too wish the tolerances were tighter in this regard, but more than that, I want softer foam tires ;)
As for buying from the links....Thank you Richard! We're very pleased you're going out of your way to help support us!
FYI, if there's ever a plane you'd like to buy from our links, but it's not listed, you can follow any of these "master" links and just shop the web site as usual...(below is an excerpt from most of our video descriptions)

Purchased thru your link Brian. This plane looks like an awesome flyer.
My wife's gonna kill me...lol
Thanks Craig! We appreciate your support!!! This thing is pretty small...maybe open it in the garage, and build it and just sneak it in with other planes ;)
Hmmm... good idea....lol
That's my next Airplane good flying good videoing
Thanks Alan!
In the maiden flight, I broke the propeller on the take off run (there were some holes in the grass runway). Fortunately I had some 3-blade propeller though they were 9 inches in diameter instead of the 11-inch of the original propeller. But even on a 3S it flew well and didn´t seem to be underpowered, but I knew acrobatics were out of question.
I bet it was more scale looking too!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Indeed!
Been waiting for weeks to see this review
It's been done for over a month, but we couldn't share it till 10/1/21 - that date got pushed twice (maybe three times) due to shipping delays
@@BrianPhillipsRC it's funny, I've been eyeing another low wing thinking this would be a good fun flyer...
Appreciate the review.. and the honest information ... there are adhering channels that I watch that are explicitly used for a commercial selling of garbage products
I don't know how you get away with breakdowns and both pro and cons for new releases bit keep up the good work 👍
We have four of the real RV4s at my airport here in Tucson. The owners love the Hershey bar wings.
Very cool Tim! I need to get someone with a STOL plane to come fly out of our back yard...I need to do a TEST ;) Can't say any more right now, but it will be discussed soon ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC dang it Brian your cryptic messages are killing me tonight, lol. My guess is you built your own Draco? Haha
Nice Brian, I might have to sell one of my planes to get that one! Just worry bout the cold weather coming up affecting amount of flying time. I seen that plane like a month ago on horizon site but was on back order and believe it was $20 cheaper then. Right now we got a couple cheap rtf Voltanex planes, umx turbo timber, areo scout s2, carbon cub s2, and t28 1.1 mm and a dx6e. Which the cheap voltanex planes are amazing little planes BTW, great beginner flyers.
It is good. Sorry to hear about the prices going up. I wasn't aware of this, and specifically try not to talk about price in this inflationary period...it's gonna be a free for all on anything you can buy if we can't get the freight model back to normal soon.
Nice Brian!!! I haven’t watched too many of your videos lately sadly therefore I haven’t been commenting lol. Hope you guys are doing well !
We're doing well, and thanks for coming back ;)
Hey Brian. As always, superb video with tons of info. You inspired me to buy the RV-7 in 🏴England. I've got the realflite 9.5 (2021) simulator and I thought a bit of practice on that before I get to the flying field would help. Guess what? Realflite sim does not have the RV-7 as an aircraft option!
Maybe a prompt from you might persuade HH to put it on?
In the meantime low rates set and off to the field! Keep up the great work.
Have fun! Good luck Doug!
Nice, needs to be painted like Redline Airshows
I like that Livery too, and RED is generally easier to see in the sky vs Blue ;)
I love this plane! super cool stuff coming out lately, I like the smart stuff too! its taking it to the next level.. I just bought an NX10 so I can do more cool stuff..that plane is up there with the Valiant?
It is very good. So glad you got the NX10. Nice choice!
Hello. Hoping all is well with the Phillips family? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you go 6 days between videos. Just wanted to say hello and wish you all well.
Hope to see you soon.
God bless,
Jeff Stone
We are still alive ;) LOL When it's an "early release" we sometimes let them stay up for a while...this was no exception.
What a cool plane. I think I NEED one. I have flown in a friend's kit-built "real" RV-7 several times. The full scale RV-7 is an awesome plane. All are built from kits.
So jealous David ;)
I bought Rv-7. Two the them. Cause the plain Flow og my finner taplel to the flor egen i proramed Spektrum Nx10 and hit my gardend dor te
nice looking plane
It sure is! Plus it's loaded with features too...solid and beautiful design, and all the bells and whistles that make for a great flying experience.
Very cool Brian. Fly's great. I couldn't agree with you more, with Horizon Hobby going much further than other hobby vendors I deal with, to correct any problems you may have and make it right. And I can I honestly say I have never had a bad flying model from them. Their planes are done well. Is this Smart Avian rec. something we can expect from here on out? I notice a pattern lately.
I don't know that it'll be in all the BNF's but I know they're trying to get them in the planes for the Telemetry Data, and I LOVE them ;)
Nice Lil Plane! Your Havin Way Too Much Fun With Them Throttle Reversing Planes... 🤣 PS John's A Wind Sack Ahead & This Is A Old Video!!! 🤔 And Snow Skiis For Shur On This One Like The Cheroke This Winter...😂😎
You caught that? ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeppers... I'm Very Asstoot... 🤣😎
Hi, Brian Phillips. I have seen many of unboxing video from you.. . i have bought the RV 7 and Spektrum NX10 . I cant find any video how to adjust volum cause manual dont show This in manual . i used days to fin out this " Voice Volume Control " at the bottom rhere is inhabent .. sroll the and chose the one you like " i choosed the scroll on the left side .
Damn it, I wish Horizon would stop coming out with all these awesome planes! Nice job flying it, your on point with that beauty. 👍🏻
Thanks - this plane is very well done, and super fun.
I will have to disagree with you though - LOL - I'll take more - actually, there's a few that are coming and they are gonna be epic...wish I could share, but I can't ;(
@@BrianPhillipsRC can you at least say when they will make us aware they have a new toy? Lol.
Brian, as usual, a thoroughly entertaining and informative review. My question is, if you think that the RV-7 would be a good plane to learn the unique handling characteristics of tail dragger planes? I want to someday fly that 1.2m Corsair and the June Nite that i impuslively bought, but I want to train for it first. Keep up the great work!
Hello Brian. Enjoy your videos. I just received the RV 7. Set it up but before I got a chance to fly it my rudder servo gets hung up when turning left. Gear striped. My issue is the servo is A334 a plastic gear instead of a metal gear servo A332 used in the timber series. For all the money we put out sooner or later I'll have to replace most of the servos like to hear your comments. PS I've got the discontinued Commander with plastic servos and has replaced 4 servos already.
Sorry you had a bad servo! That's a real bummer. I agree...why even make plastic gear servos?!?!?
Nothing says FMS like the prop nut!🤪
I see
Beautiful plane! What do you think, the perfect blend of the 1.1 T28 and the 1.3 Cherokee?
It is very sporty. I LOVE the way the 1.3m Cherokee looks and flies, and also love the way the 1.1m T-28 flies...BUT I want flaps and retracts ;)
....so you could say that.
Great stuff! I picked up this plane and this was extremely helpful. Question- How do I know my battery % of the plane on my DX8e receiver? Thanks
I don't know if that works in the DX8e? I don't use it and don't recommend it, so I can't say for certain.
Have you tried to scroll over to the right and see if the flight pack is there?
Another clear and enjoyable presentation, Brian. Question: is "China Glue" basic Elmer's white glue, or Deluxe Materials Foam2Foam? Thanks, and kudos to the camera crew. 😊
No China Glue is like rubber cement that we used to make "boogers" out of in school ;) It's actually MUCILAGE, which is a plant based glue, from what I understand.
White glue is like WOOD glue, and it would work TERRIBLE for foam to foam, but it MIGHT possibly work for a decal to foam, or canopy....but probably not...WAY too stiff when dry. My Formula 560 works great for canopies, and it LOOKS EXACTLY like elmers, but it drys like RUBBER...weird!
When it comes to RC planes... you will waste a lot of money on glue...I hate to admit it. If you get a single tube of Foam2Foam (Horizon Hobby), it will last a LONG time. It doesn't dry out like Mucilage (hobbyking)...

...don't forget to buy the stuff when you're getting a plane or other stuff so you don't have to pay shipping.
When this plane came out I wasn't super excited about it. After seeing you fly it, I may have changed my opinion. Looks like a fun flyer!
I am so glad to hear you say this! This plane is a fire-cracker!!!! I about fell out of my rocker when I took off with it! I had no idea it was gonna be a rocket ship!
Try a 3200. You will Love it.
I like this flying light on it's feet, but good-lordy-lord, I had no idea just how crazy this plane was gonna be!!! I thought it would fly like the 1.3m Cherokee, but BOY was I wrong!
Trust reverse : use the sroll on right sideto esc, then put stik down to wards dotht with toward eah other.. be shue no dual rat is on ,.. then you se it goes to sep one to two
Brian you don't need to hold the bind button on the receiver just press it and it will start blinking and be in bind mode . Cool plane I want one 😊
Sure.
Hey Brian, any chance you can make a video on proper rudder use on both planes and jets? There are few UA-cam videos on it and I think most new/intermediate pilots struggle with it.
That's something that has to be taught it's one of the skills that fell by the wayside when the world became ready-to-fly, stabilized plastic hobby mad.
Put the rubber bands in a sealed jar with baby powder to keep them from drying out...then just don't let them be too stretched out...and hopefully you catch them before they break in 2 from dying out - I'd be lying if I suggested any more expertise than this. I'm from a younger generation of RC pilots, but do remember using and have some planes that use rubber bands to hold on the wings. I find that redundancy is key, if you make a mistake, you'll save a plane, but you can only have so many on those pegs.
Hope this tidbit helps, but I'm probably not the guy with answers regarding this subject matter, and don't want to mislead anyone.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian but I think you misread the question. It was about rudder not rubber lol.
I imagine FPV would look pretty nice with this
It would, if FPV's your thing!
@@BrianPhillipsRC it's slowly becoming my thing
Stuck an micro FPV camera on my UMX TT and that was blast.
Hey Brian, great video. Can you please explain to me why you would choose not to use the balance lead on the G one batteries? My smart charger is not balancing my batteries anyways. Also I love watching your build videos, but was wondering if you're ever going to do a video on how to install a spectrum receiver in any of the planes. I would really love to know how to do that. Thanks again.
Thanks Derrick! We've installed many receivers in PNP planes here. If you scroll through the playlist, you'll see a bunch of planes that are PNP, and this will show you what you want to see ;)
Thanks for the walk through on the SAFE SELECT radio set up. This is my first low wing airplane. So far only top wing and 3D mid wings. Do you think this wing will be prone to a tip stall.
Planes need to keep flying, so I wouldn't say this plane is any more "prone" to stalling than any other plane. It just needs to keep moving, and you'll be fine!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Brian. Hate to bother you, but I have a problem. I set the entire RV-7 up to my flying style. With SAFE select as an option. I'm using a DX9. I originally put the SAFE option on switch A. Realizing that I made that mistake, I've been trying to move it over to switch B with no success. I even re bound it over with SAFE off successfully so I can start from scratch. Then Re binding it again with SAFE ON, then attempting to select switch B as the on / off switch. It keeps defaulting back to switch A. Switch B is empty and all throws are at 100% with zero Expo. If you know how to move the SAFE on / off switch from one switch to another, pleased let me know. THANKS.
First of all your channel is my favorite. I have to ask where do you keep all of these planes/jets?
Thanks! We keep them in a "shop", on of our big rooms in the basement, and in the kitchen, and in the office - basically all over :)
They're getting a FEW deep in places - good problem to have, but it is a PROBLEM ;)
Hi Brian, I am looking to get my first low wing that can do a combination of sport flying and a little slow scale flying. I have my eye on the Air Tractor, the T28 and this RV-7. In your second thoughts video on the T28 you really liked it eventhough it didn't have flaps. Now that this RV-7 is out, in which order would you rank the 3 planes mentioned for sport flying fun and for ease of slow flying?
You don't want ANY of those...get the Cherokee bit.ly/3vyjdNi
Great video, I’m trying to decide between the RV-7 or the Trojan T-28 1.1……what would you choose between the 2???
RV7 - flaps and led's ;)
Hi, as far as I know it comes with a AR631 RX and SAFE but no TX.
What if I replace the RX with one of mine? Will it still have SAFE capability?
Hey Brian. I just maiden the RV-7 and the Fms 90 super scorpion. On my birthday. Any way the rv-7 is super good flyer just like you said! One question on my scorpion I turned on landing flaps and it got “wonky” put take off flaps on and it was fine. ??? Any way love the videos it has truly helped me get in the hobby.
Make sure they're 100% SYMMETRICAL. If they're off by just a TOUCH the plane will ROLL. Landing Flaps will EXAGGERATE this effect, while it may be less noticeable with takeoff flaps.
Get this answered, and if the problem persists...get your AOA worked out. You need to keep the plane flying - NOSE DOWN - even a few degrees is fine, but the AOA will shift with landing flaps.
If this still doesn't help...move the battery forward, and see if that helps...you're going to be slower with landing flaps, so you might need to get the CG a bit more toward nose heavy to make her fly on rails slower.
I have learn so much from your videos. Can this plane on 3s2200 be something I can take to the park and fly on 3 soccer fields and land on 2 basketball courts?
Yes, but I would still suggest you get a 4S in this plane, since it'll give you MAX power for short field ops, especial if you need Thrust Reverse to land successful.
That being said, 3S will work!
do you prefer this or the Maul M7?
i bought the transmitter NX 8.. i bougth this arplain RV-7 ,, no have spekrtum nx10 '
Does the motor before you put on the prop does it curve a little? Mine isn’t perfectly straight.
Doesn't curve at all, but it does point down and right like all planes, even big ones. This helps deal with P-Factor or the rotational (torque) contributed from a spinning prop.
Yours should be going out the cowl at a slight down and right angle.
Check close if in quesiton.
Brian, what are your thoughts on this being a FMS manufactured plane..? The word is Horizon commissioned FMS to build this plane. Goes with your amazement of how different the build quality is. The screws are supposed to be the dead giveaway for a FMS manufacturing. You build a lot of planes so I’m sure you would notice this. In my mind FMS + Horizon is awesome anyway. Mine arrives today. Bought through your link ;)
It seems to be an FMS model, but even if it is, I don't care :)
We work with Horizon, FMS, XFly, and Arrows ;) They're all great MFG's
Brian, I'm having problems trying to tighten the prop on this plane and the motor can keeps spinning! I tried the finger trick thru the cowl and that didn't work. Any tricks how to tighten this prop? Thank you in advance Brian! 🙂
Hi Brian and camera crew. Another great video. I just wanted to ask, I know you use a Samsung phone for your videos (as youve told me before) but when I have tried that I find my footage getting distorted and out of focus when zooming in. So what is the secret that you have to avoid those things?? Thanks
Megan is very good. She is like a robot filming. It's HARD - no secret!!!
Hi Brian! I just finished the build and binding on mine and I also found the clevis to be far away from the control horn of the elevator! How many half turns can you safely do before you lose a good grab from the clevis onto the control horn? Many thanks from Switzerland!
If it's TOO bad, try moving the control horn off and over ONE spline set.
@@BrianPhillipsRC what does "off and over one spline" mean?
Good price.
I agree for BNF with all the bells and whistles - oh yeah!!!
Hey Brian, can you please give me a step by step on how to program for reverse throttle. I doesnt explain it in the manual. Much thanks
Watch the video. We show how to do it.
Hey Brian. What is the extra lead coming off the throttle on the Van's RV 7 for? Thanks Bruce from Missouri
That's a SMART lead. I don't even know what we do with it yet.
Brian. At the 57 minute point in your video, Two Mountain Lions came onto your back porch. Got a question. Can those wheel covers be removed perminantly so I can put larger diameter wheels on for more prop, ground clearance. Let me know Please. THANKS.
Yes, they can be removed, but as for adding something else, I suppose that's up to your creativity.
Bought one, documentation says it supports fly by telemetry - what is that and how do I set it up?
I have no idea.
Still waiting for that Percentage on ESC screen Horizon! ;)
Me too ;)
Hey Brian, where did you go? Been a week and getting withdrawal symptoms. Need my rc flying fix from the top UA-cam rc channel!!!!!
Still here, but working on new content ;)
Great show Brian! Quick question: I use a Taranis X9D+ transmitter and a Fr-Sky SR8 Pro Receiver. Will reverse thrust work/be programmed in my equipment? Many thanks for any insight!
I don't think so. You would first need a DSMX transmitter to access the menu structure for the Avian ESC....I THINK...
...BUT, so long as you're connected to the plane via the Rx in the plane where the Avian ESC is being used, you might be able do it, but you may not have feedback (like the screens we see) - this could lead to a dangerous condition, so I'd encourage you to NOT do it...but also, have you considered getting an Avian ESC Programmer???
Avian ESC Programmer bit.ly/3mNMlhc
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian, I just bought this plane based on your video demo. This seems nice and easy to fly with reasonable acrobatic agility for new flyers such as myself. I will use my Taranis X9D+ TX and FrSky SR8 Pro Rx that also provides a "SAFE" feature. I will look/ask around how to potentially "unlock" the reverse thrust in addition to your generous feedback. I will provide any insight for the wider community benefit in your channel. Be well.
Brian do you have on the plans to do a rundown on the 1.5 FMS P-47 ? Or not on your radar
I might consider it, but it's not sitting in my office waiting, if that's what you mean.
Hello,
question reg. thrust reverse:
i've bought this plane in BNF basic version with Spektrum Avian 45A Brushless Smart Lite controller and Spektrum AR631 receiver.
Is it possible to program thrust reverse with these installed components?
Which ESC do you have installed in your plane in this video?
Thanks in advance for your reply
When you get the BNF plane, it's all set...just watch through the video...we show how to do it in the RADIO SETUP PART, near the end, since it's just the order that things go ;)
How good is it for grass take-offs and landings (on 3S)?
Fine, other than the prop clearance, and who wants to get their wing all covered in grass ;)
If you had to choose one plane between the RV-7 & the Eflite Air tractor. What would you pick?
Tough call...
Gun to my head, even though the RV7 is superior...I'd go for the Air Tractor b/c I love that plane!
Air Tractor bit.ly/3tqdyHe
RV7 bit.ly/3DqNqSd
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for taking the time. I've been watching your builds, rates and flap programing and using lemonRx in non Eflite stuff. Happy new year.
Nice plane, great video. One question. Instead of trying to be a contortionist why not just use the bind plug? Is there an advantage to use the bind button on the receiver?
Just depends on how the build goes, but no advantage one way over the other. Whatever you prefer is good.
