Great all the way to the end my friend, thank you so much!
I am buying this plane next week, I am so excited, can,t wait!
Thanks Daniel! :)
you will find that I didn't oversell the plane at ALL :)
Do let me know what you think of bit, though I'm sure it will work out for you :)
Cheers & happy flying!
Super nice flying plane my friend. Looks great and just like the other video, the on board flight footage looks great too. Fun to watch. Have a great week buddy!
Thank you very much as allways Mike :) This is probably as relaxing to watch as it is to fly :)
Cheers & have a good Rest of the week then :D
Good job! Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much Mark :)
Nice video! Thanks for the review! It was funny you said bye bye before the landing. Afterwards I understood. But you landed in very short time and with lots of high still. Well done! I’ll see how I manage mine :)
Thank you very much Francisco! Highly appreciated :)
haha! yes.. it's a good thing to know when to shut up ;) Them youtube video's are one thing but getting the plane down in 1 piece is another ;)
Cheers and have fun with yours! :D
Really beautiful and big plane !! Excellent flight , nice video !!
Thank you very much as allways Pascal! :) Glad you liked it :D
@@DutchRC 😊👍
Pretty beautiful airplane, dude! Flies really smooth! 😃
Great review!!!
Thank you very much as allways sir! :) Yes.. the plane flies beyond smooth really ;)
Cheers & have a good weekend
Good work Dutch. Super smoooooth. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Thank you very much sir :) I appreciate that :)
Thanks for the information.
Nice landing, nice plane
Thank you very much :)
Well done!
Thank you very much Maurice :)
I like that tail view, and I get the impression that the plastic fuse dampens some of the turbulence shakes before they reach the camera. Well set up, well flown!
Thank you very much Henning! That T-tail instantly made me think: that could carry a camera well :D
You would like the AR637T receiver it's got telemetry it also has a AS3X safe select
Great review and nice landing, missing all the traps! I've had my ASW 28 for 2 years now and it goes very well. Only real issue is the CG ... would you be able to balance yours without that camera on the tail? I couldn't - the pack basically had to go under the wing otherwise it was pretty nose heavy. So I removed the wheel and foam well, and hung the pack under the rear/top ply plate (I removed the front/lower ply plate). I use an Aeronaut 12x8 prop in place of the stock one - the motor handles this fine on 3S and the climb rate is much improved. You asked about telemetry - I have a vario (for altitude and vertical speed), pack/cell voltages, and current (to get mAh used). I use crow braking for landing, just on a 3-pos switch rather than a slider. I have aileron-flap mixing to boost the roll rate a little, and also camber adjust (flaps & ailerons drooped or raised together) although I rarely use that. I widened the servo cable channel slightly at the wing roots to take a 4-pin connector for the servos - this is covered by a small flap hinged at the front edge with tape and held shut by small magnets at the back. I added cheap vac-formed servo covers to clean it up a bit, some scale registration letters, and some extra red trim (tape). I did cut the flaps off and re-hinge them with tape to get more throw without the servos stalling. No other issues - all the servos are original and have been fine. Like you said, super fast & ultra precision gear is not really necessary here ;-) Short video of mine from a week or two ago here: ua-cam.com/video/77UCKSgK8-k/v-deo.html
Thank you very much :)
Great to get some feedback from a fellow owner! The CG puzzled me a bit as well.. Without the camera I could just about CG it on 1 1600mah 3S..
WITH the camera however I had to use *BOTH* 1600mah's I had with me :|
Thanks :) I will look into those (and maybe flight controller / GPS setups.. NOT to stabelize the plane.. only for telemetry data)..
Cheers & thanks for stopping by! :)
@@DutchRC My standard pack is a 2700 3S - that works really well and gives easy 20 minute flights. As mentioned it's strapped under the rear plate; I trimmed the cockpit moulding slightly so it can be moved forward a bit e.g. with a camera on the tail (it's just a Mobius Mini, so pretty light).
thank you volantex and hobbyking for making/selling such nice sailplanes at reasonable prices! While horizon and others keep ramping up the $ on sailplanes (200 for the 3 channel nit radian? 170 for 1500mm consendo? 270 for asw17 2.5m) Volantex gives us very good airplanes for alot less!
Thanks Dutch Rc for the detailed review!
You're welcome and thank You for stopping by! :D
very much agreed as well.. There are HH (and Multiplex) planes I'd like to have but It's often hard to see the value fro $$ :D
Looks Great !!! I Prefer convention tail...T-tail not so much ...the only servo that will need to be changed for safety is the elevator. Hope you Enjoy that plane a lot !!!
Jo Barnett Is there something wrong with the default servo?
I wish Every plane had a T-tail :D I love the looks of it
@@nickvledder yes.. it is a default servo..
@@nickvledder No but he was saying to upgrade to metal gear ..all servos fail so.just place your bets on the one you trust the most !!
Hello =D
Nice plane.
Im a Sailpane guy more then a quad.
it IS a nice plane yes :) Ah yeah.. I kinda like Every type of RC-ing ;)
Is the Volantex phoenix 2.6m is better that Volantex ASW 28 2.6m for thermals? Thank you!
I think this ASW28 is more a real glider and will probably perform better in thermals.. The Phoenix is more of a general purpose plane and I would expect it to be a little slower as well
I know its been awhile...hope you still enjoy the ASW 28. What battery did you use? and how was the CG obtained? All kinds of rumors of bad CG issues.
Definately not as small as suggested :) I flew mine with a 2200mah 3S, and with that pretty much in the middle of the bay it did well.. I CG-ed half a CM in front of the main win-spar
@@DutchRC thank you...I will try the same set up.
Can you set voice prompts on all switches on this radio? Many thanks.
Not at This moment regretably but they are working on features like that yes.
Beautiful plane from Volantex and perfect maiden sir!
Which size battery did you use?
Thank you very much sir! :D
I actualy had TWO 1600mah 3S lipo's in the plane, but only One connected.. I needed the extra weight because I had that camera on the tail :)
Without the camera a 1800-2200mah would work fine I think :)
@@DutchRC And so much flight time on a 1600mAh already ! Respect for that.
@@hape4 Yes! Not bad I think.. The lipo was at 3.7V / cell after the flight so I wasn't stretching it eighter :)
What motor/prop/esc/battery combo please? Nice flying, thanks from sunny BONBEACH Melbourne Victoria Australia.
Greatings over there! :D This is the stock ASW28 v2 PNF version
so: 4023 850KV for a motor, and 1060 prop :)
@@DutchRC thankyou Sir, my glider us a Willhobby one, sort of similar to yours. Not good handbook instructions or info available on it.
@@harrowtiger Yesss and on top of that: some product pages are even Incorrect (the Hobbyking listing mentions a wrong motor-size)
Nice work on video, can you do more videos on banggood planes? They have a lot of new ones out
Smack.
Thank you and I WILL! I have several orders of planes on their way as we speak :)
I got the new AR637T spektrum receiver for my ASW28
Looks good man! that is a fancy receiver :)
Nice thumbnail :)
Is that yours? :P I cam across that photo on several channels so I wasn't sure what the origin was..
but I really should change it to a photo of my own
Yes, it's mine, but you can use it.@@DutchRC
@@AndrejSturm Excellent capture then and thank you! :)
looks like I'm not the only one that likes it ;)
Where can I get the recover battery and charger?
I'd look in local hobby stores, or Hobbyking probably?
@@DutchRC ok thanks
Do you know where to find spareparts ? I have two ASW28 but couldn't find a vendor for spare parts.
Tips: Measure the amp draw, set the %Throttle timer according to your measurements, install a lipowarner, use the flaps as much as possible and shot down the motor.
Good question.. I don't even see parts on their own site.. I would say Hobbyking would be your best chance but that might have been true 2 years ago (?) I ordered the spare windows from Banggood by the way (got them in Today)..
www.banggood.com/search/asw28.html?from=nav
lipowarmer? :O I was actually kinda considering moving this (and some other) planes to Lion packs..
Hi, we are keep adding the spareparts on our website, and soon the spareparts will be available in our warehouse in Tallahassee. Please contact us and place your order on www.exhobby.com
You'll find spare parts on Bangggood.com
@@Volantexrc Tallahassee in America that's the wrong continent.
Schweighofer in Germany has spareparts but the wings and Tailsection is 50bucks plus shipping.
I like volantex! But motor should be in back, I know it's a model of a glider. But still, i love my @. m Volantex pusher plane. Nice video and glider.
The canopy attachment system is CRAP! Such a nice canopy but w/ failed system. Oh well, velcro! Lol
LOL :) Do keep in mind this is quite a bit more efficient (and more quiet) pusher setups sure have their benefits indeed though :D
Yes.. there are better solutions for canopies these days :)
@@DutchRC Pushers are good for FPV and remote landings in rough country. Otherwise i would get this one. My Ranger 2 m has a 4 blade prop now, good performance.
@@bushpilot-bm3kf I actually think it would be fun to fly this plane with the FPV camera on the Tail :) What do you think? ;)
I probably will just keep this as a LOS plane though :)
@@DutchRC It is a great point of view for remote flying, u get to see the view w/ the plane like a gunsight over the view.Very good.
Leuk filmpje, net mijne afgebouwd. 100 euro voor betaald nieuw.
Dank je wel Thomas en DAT is een prima prijsje voor zoveel vliegtuig lijkt me :D
Dutch is worse than Google...last few reviews are things I've been researching...he must be monitoring my web habits. Great review as usual.
I know what you did Next summer ;)
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
What about the motor performance?
It actually seems Fine to me.. I took off at 60% the plane isn't a hotliner offcourse, but it looks pretty fast?
Thank you for quick answer. Mine is still in the box waiting for building on winter days.
@@Detlef50 Haha :D 1 tip: put on the elevator servo-horn Before mounting the horizontal stabelizer :)
there is extremely little building required though :)
Looking forward to seeing / reading what You think of the plane :D
@@DutchRC Thanks a lot for this helpfull hint :). I'll keep you informed.
@@Detlef50 No problem :)
allso: both wings have 2 servo-connectors that you'll be attaching before flight.. I "market" 1 set on each wing with white paint..
Saves quite a bit of time before flight :) (and yes I know this isn't your first rodeo ;))
Thanks Mr.Dutch! Your videos really excellent and helpful! We would love to see more and more people join us and enjoying being a pilot. Please check our offcial website www.exhobby.com/ for more rc models.
Thank you very much sir :) I appreciate that
Greate review and performance! As a hight qualified pilot could you give me a review of my modified ASW28, look up my videoes. After the videoes were shot, I have replaced the RX with an original Spektrum AR8010T 8ch Telemetry Receiver, and I have modified my Spektrum DX8 G2 like Sunny Soundrise (ua-cam.com/video/VpM9AVk_U2Y/v-deo.html). As you might see I have some issues with the range.
I'm only an intermediate pilot, I rely on using stabilization on this model and I have, like several ASW28 pilots, a need for more authorities of the control surfaces. Some mix the ailerons with the flaps, I, and a few others, extend the control surfaces - your opinion? At last I find the ASW very attractive for FPV flying. I have an Arkbird 2.0 Lite installed, and that one gives me all the telemetri I need, beside the sight of "sitting in the plane".
Halloa sir :)
what issues do you have with range? I mean: how much range would be good enough for You? :)
On the agility of the ASW28: the plane is a reasonably large (for an RC plane) glider, sooooo basically it shouldn't corner Hard ;) I DO understand how a less experienced pilot can be caught off guard by this. Could it be that a slightly smaller airplane (say 1600mm) would be a good trainer to get more experience? It would indeed be possible to make the flaps Allso act as ailerons, but the effect would be limited (an aileron needs to be as far away from the center of rotation to be effective)..
Faster & stronger airleron servo's would be my first thing to do (2.2Kg metal gear digital servo's).. Would be an upgrade for both tail-servo's as well.. for instance:
www.banggood.com/4Pcs-EMAX-ES09MD-Digital-Swash-Servo-For-450-Helicopter-With-Metal-Gear-p-1157378.html?p=TO251813974002015038
Hope that helps a bit! :)
@@DutchRC Hello again! :-)
At my second ASW28 (My first I had trouble with due to my incompetace) I flew only within sight range. But the telemetri flight log recorder told me about several Frame losses and Holds. In that model I used a Lemon DX7 with stabilizer. In my third and present ASW28 I have set the preset Failsafe in RTH mode. If you've watched my videoes you'll see that Failsafe turn on within a range of 300 to 600 m. I've been using a Lemon RX10 to serve the Arkbird flight controller. I've realized that I've been way too sloppily in placing the antennas. Now I've been much more careful in placing them away from batteries and servo cables. Furthermore I've done the changes I've told you before. I expect the range now to be stable on at least 800 m. I'm now about to try this out as soon as the weather improves, it has been horrible the last weeks.
You're quite right, I've been caught "off guard" flying this model without stabilization. I've therefor been quite dependent on that, and it suites my type of flying quite well.
Tanks for your advices, I'll follow your channel to keep up with interesting information.
Happy flying!! :-)
@@springpilot okee cool.. To be honest I think a range of 800 meters is still unacceptably low. BUT you do now at least have the RTH kick in if you run into trouble :)
Let me know how you get on with that ofcourse!
Happy flying sir :)
@@DutchRC Thanks a lot! If you subscribe my channel, I will release a video of the new setup assoon as the weather clears up and I can go flying :-)
