    I was waiting for this video from the time that you have unboxed it. Perfect all over again. I just love the way that you have just grabbed the bird and hand launch it. I really think that this is one of the best foam plane from FMS. I love it. And I just love how much fun you can have with this baby. Thanks for making this video, I enjoyed every moment. Big salute to you from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

    Just bought this plane used from eBay and thank you for the tip with the CG !! Definitely had not the right CG where the straps where for the battery. Added weight to the front first.
    Cool now I just moved the battery all to the front and it’s right on !!! Thanks 🙏🏻

    Great review so far... suggestion- put camber(ailerons and flaps down about 4 mm) when you try to see if it can find thermals.

    • @F3DPylon
      @F3DPylon 5 років тому

      As delivered the servo control board does not allow for independent servo control. One cannot set up the wing for camber changing, aileron to flap mix or crow mixing. It does not look like FMS actually thinks this is a glider, but rather a nice long winged aerobat. It looks like they think the model will be flown in much the same manner as that flown by Rich. I come to this conclusion reading the FMS manual.
      By the way I really liked the video.

    Hi Rich,
    That is one BIG plane. Nice maiden and mild aerobatics for a sailplane. Inverted flight looks good. Maybe a touch of sandpaper on the props to make them fold in slow flight. Where are you flying it and is that a landfill in the background? Plenty of room to fly at that field. Steve did some nice camera work. At the 20 minute mark, thought you were going to hover it in for a landing. :-)

    Difficult to do a true review on this model glider with the prop spinning or deployed but stationery as in my experience it acts like an airbrake and worse when spinning without power. Quite amazing how much energy is taken in those circumstances. I believe, especially with the higher windspeed on the day, that with the prop folded you would have experienced far better performance. Pretty good combined with the performance you did experience. Would be good to see this Fox reviewed again with the prop issue addressed.

    @TheStickyBusiness 5 років тому +1

    This fox is gorgeous BUT I think it's body to wing ratio is on the small side, I wonder if it is scale to the real one. For the videos I have seeing it seems it would be an awesome slope soarer but a poor thermaling glider BUT FMS should wise up and sell some inner wing enlargers, a pice you add between the body and the wing. With its awesome wing attaching mechanism that would be quite easy, you will just need a larger bar. Probably with 35cm to 45cm more per wing it's gliding capability would increase a lot. On your video it does look likes it drops a lot sometimes. It would be great if you add a vario to test the gliding side. It sure is a very aerobatic glider. I am pretty sure many would love to have it in their collection for sure. But advice FMS to try to come up with a wing enlarger.

    Are you a "Glider Guy" ? I stopped believing you after the 47.3 time you said it. From the looks of of that, it is the perfect blend of a high lift plane, and some kind of sport plane. Not a true glider by any means, but it cut the wind great! *VERY* stable for times I would rather not fly one of my 2M all balsa gliders due to high wind. Now I want one, Damn you! When I get this beast, I will add a camera to mine.

      Two ailerons, one flap on your radio set up, (wing type) Now you have six channels.
      Remove the 'Y' connector for the ailerons and add regular servo extensions. Now you have two cables and two channels for ailerons. Total channels is six. I have a NX6 SPEKTRUM radio.
      This radio will give you a dedicated menu for flaps. In it you can mix %flaps, %elevators and %crow. I use it and it works. The FOX reduces its speed in a hurried fashion.

  • @gregheckert1396
    @gregheckert1396 5 років тому +1

    ALWAYS have the throttle cut assigned to a switch so you can hold the radio without touching the throttle stick and never worry about getting hit by the prop. If you slip, there's a good chance you'll move the throttle enough to engage the motor/prop. Don't ask how I know! I had to get 54 stitches on my left wrist from a prop strike that would have been prevented if I had assigned the throttle to a switch. All 38 planes I have use the "A" switch for throttle cut. Even if I program a new model, "A" switch is assigned before I even bind the model! The very first thing I do when I land a plane is hit the throttle cut. Probably the very most important part of flying a model airplane.
    One other thing that bugs me about your videos is that you tend to talk to much and throw in a bunch of stuttering while flying. The mic hanging off the side is annoying too. Thanks for the maiden review. I want to get one as soon as the weather breaks and I can get the money together.

      @Airbrushkid You are correct about the remote ID... However, foam is like plastic, it's used everywhere. I flew turboprop with composite props made of a metal spar, fiberglass blade with Nicole sheathing & foam core.
