  • With unboxing & ground handling tested it was down for a great beach afternoon (Summer 'Downunder' ) to fly the Micro Staggerwing . What an aircraft, handling a lightweight on-board camera to capture all the excitement.
    You may smell the sea air & my enthusiastic approach in getting this little baby up in the air on its first few successful flights!

      I was apprehensive about the camera weight Jeff. But she sure handled it well. Even having the camera on in the cockpit for 5 mins whilst i secured the top wing.
      A keeper for sure. Thanks indeed

    Thank you for the detailed representation of the parts, especially the stable wings. This bird is very beautiful and I think it can survive even bad landings without breaking, right? If it is a calm day, can this plane glide down from the sky with the engine turned off and land like a glider? BTW you have a wonderful area to fly your RC planes and you made a great video 👍

      ​@@Bellairvideo Okay, that's good to know. You make a great job for RC friends all over the globe, no doubt. I am Matthias, a disabled German in real old age, just can walk some steps with the help of a rollator but can still drive my car for short distance and I speak true - it's time for me to learn RC flying now, hehehe. Must take in account that my steering reaction is not the fastest anymore. My Ranger 600 is the first bird I can fly arround without crash..This XK A300 biplane is more beautiful, of course, and you are a trustworthy man so that I have a new dream now. Would you recomend to take the XK A800 motor glider as next step of learning or this nice biplane ? In fact - A life without RC models does not make sense for old boys, hahahahaha. I wish you a lot of fun with your flying RC Babies in Downunder. See you in the air

  • @Bellairvideo
    @Bellairvideo  5 місяців тому

    G'day Matthias, So good to hear that you are pursuing your flying hobby. As you know the saying "if you don't use it, you loose it" especially with brain muscle eh!. Yes the A800 in stabilise mode would be a great inexpensive glider for you. I had an 86 year old run up to me at the beach a while ago & said he loves RC planes & had not flown for years, but he was going out to buy one & get back into it! The other day a guy with his 90 year old father came up to me on the beach & said they love watching my UA-cam channel & have seen every episode, in fact they were going thru them all again. So there is home for this 76 year old yet eh. Haaa
    Let me know how you go.

    Noel I have been a fan of the Staggerwing for a long time. When I was 15 training with my brother, a Staggerwing came in for fuel at the airport we were flying out of. It was white with red trim and red interior. One of the most beautiful planes I've ever seen. This little bugger looks like fun. I had my doubts when you started putting cameras on it, but it handled them no problem at all. I very much enjoyed the views. The rear facing was very interesting. Nice flying brother!

    • @Bellairvideo
      @Bellairvideo  11 місяців тому

      Hi there my dear friend. A really lovely little aircraft. I would buy another if something happened to iy. The biggest problem was the fitting a camera into the cockpit, then after switching the 808 on, then re fitting the top wing with the 7 screws. Next time I will try my Go2 camera (if it fits in) as I can switch it on & view the image via my iPhone. I will also try the 1K 2 cell battery fitted in. I did do this flight with the battery hanging out & worked very well but the video was getting too long to include it....next time eh! I bet you would have enjoyed a flight in that full size Staggerwing with retracts. Thanks indeed & looking fwd to your offering on Friday.
