  • Eflite Valiant with Nav Lights from the Flyzone Beaver part number FLZA6288... 13 Dollars. Bush wheels from the Eflite Timber or Hobbzone Super Cub or any Bush wheels you choose. You will need the Axles to go with the wheels. I used the Timber Axles.

    Wheels are a nice touch! They look stock if you ask me.
    Your Nav lights look GREAT! They seem to work well, even in the bright daylight!!!
    Wheel pants always seem to bind up, no matter how awesome they look ;)
    Sorry to hear about your losses. Nice thing about flying RC, you can JUST fly RC and get your mind off of "real" life. It's a great way to focus on something different, even if only for a few minutes.

      Thanks Brian.....I've been flyin alot and your right it helps keep your mind off of things. The Bush wheels are way better than the stock ones. Horizon should put these on from the get go as well as Nav lights. I'm lookin for a new plane but Can't decide to many out there lol. Id like something bigger scale or a War Bird. Thanks again for stoppin by Brian if you need a laugh check out my videos...

      @@BrianPhillipsRC Id like to try something other than Horizon Hobby. I was thinkin FMS or Mulitplex. The 1700mm Cub or the Fun CubXL. But I've never messed with anything but HH and the AR363. What would be a good RX with a Safe or Gyro that will work with a spectrum TX thats easy to set up? However I have a extra 636 from a Valaint that Id like to use as well. Im not sure of theres a Eflite model I can throw that 636 in without programming it? I think programming looks like a pain in the ass.

      Lemon-Rx 7 Channel with stabilizer (NOT StabilizerPLUS- I haven't gotten that to work!!!!!)
      cheap, DSM2 and DSMX options, GREAT integrated Stabilizer.
      If you want an external Stabilizer, the A3-L is a cheap, and effective way.
      Check my descriptions (virtually any video) for purchase links, if you want to give me some help with a few Cents per purchase ;)

    • @miller7759
      @miller7759  4 роки тому

      The wheels and axles are from the 1.5m Timber. I switched due to the Timber wheels being much softer. The cub wheels are harder and make a for a bouncy landing on harder sufaces. I'd recommend using the timber wheels and axles they seem to work better. You could also find a bolt and nut the size of wheel hub instead of using axles.

    I'm just starting in the RC world and I'm looking for my first plane . Do you think this is a good trainer or is it too sporty , too fast to start with ? There is also the E-flite UMX timber i like a lot ...

    • @miller7759
      @miller7759  4 роки тому +2

      Your getting into a real fun hobby....I started with the flight sim then my first plane was the 1.5m Timber. Id recommend the Sim first. Get the muscle memory and the basics from the Sim. It took me about 2 months on the Sim. Make a goal to fly every plane in the Sim flawlessly before the real thing. Thats what I did. Moving from the Sim to thr real thing is also a challenge. The Umx Timber is a Great Little Bird. I fly mine all the time.....Its in my Jeep at all times. So after the Sim Id recommend the Valaint or either the Big or Little Timber for your first plane. The Umx Timber would be a good start. It's easy to fly its easy to repair and modify but so is the Valiant and Big Timber. Id recommend with your first plane to get at least a Dx6 Transmitter. So my recommendation would be to Start with the Real Flight 8 or 9 Sim. Along with the Sim get your DX6E. That way you already have your programmable transmitter for your first BnF Plane. Id recommend Eflite because of the Safe and As3x. Here are a few channels I watch and that have helped me....Brain Philips Captain Robert...Skip Built Rc...Flight Test.....Piolt Ryan Captian Mike. This is a great Hobby...Fair warning here be patient with it your gonna cr ash your gonna get Mad your gonna spend Lots of MONEY. But its all worth it once you get it. Feel free to ask me anything else there Bud I'll be glad to help ya. Happy flyin from Western Pa.

    Hello where did you get the axles for the wheel and how did you instal it

    • @miller7759
      @miller7759  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching my friend. I got the axles for the Timber. I ordered the wheels and Axles. However you could also use the wheels and Axles from the Sport Cub S as well. The axles do NOT come with the wheels. You get the main wheels and tail wheel then you have to get the gear hardware kit to get the axles. You also could use and find the correct size screw or bolt to use as a axle too. It was a little pricey to use the Timber Wheels and axles but worth it because it is very straight forward to install and you get everything you need. Just go to HH website click on any of the Timbers or Sport Cub S....Go to the Parts List then click on the Gear and Gear Hardware.

Unfortunately my daughter passed away last year, I have one of her planes now, its a hawker hurricane but I can't keep it running. I have to take it in I guess. I think I'd rather have the battery because those little cox engines are so temperamental, I wonder if I could change it to battery? Something to check out I guess.

Electric is the way to go for sure but I'd like to get into the gas. You can swap it electric easy theres tons of options out there. What brand of model is it? Maybe upgrade the engine to a 4 stroke? I have floats for one of my bigger planes and Its a blast to fly off water.
