Well I've Flown mine about 20 times now. Took about 15 of those times, to finally figure out how to NOT have it Torque roll on the takeoffs. Had to replace the fuselage once, and a few broke blades. But If any of you are struggling with getting it to take off smooth. What I figured out was get it moving, and as soon as it comes off the ground, just back off the throttle tiny bit and she will fly without any torque roll. Other then that I have not had any problems with landings or flying it.
Awesome video, I just pre-order mine just now when I got the email this morning. I like your shirt, I see I'm not the only one who watches Steve from Flight Chops on UA-cam. I had the honor meeting him a year or so ago up in Oshkosh during airventure
Awesome Ryan! You’re the *first* I check with on new releases. Another great commentary and review with loads of tips. Bobby did an amazing job keeping up on the camera with the blue bullet. Nice showing of grass ops. Thank you for the info on real flight 9.5
It sounds great even though it reminds me of an incoming round. Nice to be able to wheel launch something so fast and have flaps for a decent landing. Don't have too much fun.
Great video. Ha!!! I just bought the crescendo evo and now this comes out :) Thank god E-flite had the sense to put flaps on this thing. Good job E-flite.
That plane is a Zoomer for sure! It's too late for this year, but it'll be on my Spring buy list for sure once my skills improve on the simulator over the winter. I'm super excited for the 4S speed with the ability to go to 6S in the future. The only non SMART plane I have now that does that is my Cessna. But its scale and much slower. They're also taking advantage of that denser foam they utilized in the wings of the Habu and Conscendo. Now I have to figure out if I want to use my HH redemption on the Yak 130 or the V1200. Thankfully, I have a few months to decide.
I love this plane. Mine is currently grounded with a broken retract. Unbelievable that spare retracts have been out of stock since November and will not be back in until early March.
I have a V900 and am very interested in this plane although, 6S Lipos can get a bit pricey especially when typical flight times will be under five minutes . You guys were the first video I have seen to some flight time info for the V1200. Great video, thanks.
Very, very impressive. This is quite heavy plane ~2.6kg with wing area 23.0 sq dm, the calculated stall speed is about 55kph. This plane needs a perfect runway and a perfect landing, otherwise be ready to replace retracts after every landing.
@@PilotRyanMedia ok my next purchase I will, I already let my local hobby shop know I was picking it up. I’ve been supporting them lately during these hard times. Thanks for reaching out though appreciate that very much Cheers 🍻. And keep up the good job great inspiration 💪🏽 for rookies like me !
Why is it this month that I am ordering every single awesome release? I can't stop myself as for this one its a definite buy for me. This thing is 140 mph for such a decent size sports planes it's just amazing to see it fly except for the fact that it's sky blue it will be hard time keeping in site.
No the Gear on the Viper is better. I love the v1200 but the landing gear suck. You can have a perfect landing and roll out. And still have to bend the gear back abit to get them to close. But its not terrible.
Well Ryan looking like Bobby and your self are having so much FUN! This plane looks SO COOL with INSANE SPEED. Done your job sir because. I WANT ONE🛩️♥️🏴👌
RYAN-Bobby....Killing it again👍👍👏. Glad to see it come back in one piece😜. You know what I’m thinking. Love to see Eflite using that SMART tech in the BNF. 😉
HELP - Just got the v1200 - can not get the switch set up to control the SAFE on/off. If I bind with SAFE it stays in SAFE. If I bind without SAFE it binds okay, with no SAFE available of course. I set the AUX1 CHANNEL to F - my desired switch and when I did the sticks down and in then cycle switch F 5 times I got a twitch from the plane and thought the switch had been accepted and available but it is not working - it just stays in SAFE.
@@PilotRyanMedia the flap was set to 98% so when I changed it to 100% it worked. Still can't get FORWARD PROGRAMMING TO WORK - get an error message - on my new NX8 that says CONNECTION FAILED.
Out standing shipmate. Press on. If you don`t mind. Could you make a video on how to set up this v1200 on a Spektrum ix20. I crashed mine and the darn thing about it is I don`t know why. i have been flying rc pylon for 30 years.
What a great flier, terrific flight envelope and then...... holy !?$# what a screamer! Awesome. Would love to know the speed on it. Another great video!
Aussie RC Playground We get absolutely reamed on price this side of the world, I have 2 Durafly EFX racers as a result with change left over and more than enough heart pumping fun!
@@iansummers6945 yeah, they're gonna be $750 here and I just don't know if they're really worth that much. I mean, I get it, it's a 6S 225kph+ weapon, but come on, that's gotta be a good 150-200 more than what it should be. Even the V900 was too high, I preferred the EFX, and I have one as a result.
Yeah the local pricing here killed it for me. How does a 370USD plane turn into 750AUD? Horizon need to do something about the local distributor. It's out of control.
@@AussieRCPlayground holy crap thats like over 500 usd if i did it right. Who's making all this extra $ on you guys. I'm sitting here pissed I gotta pay $370 if I want this plane but your price is insane!
Oh my you guys are killing me! Every time I think they need to put out another plane I am board with what I have, bang you do it a , M y wife said I had enough planes already , they don't understand !,,
If this plane should ever crash at speed, there'd be nothing left! Stupid fast!! I do like that it flies on 4s as well. Falcons can hit 200mph in a dive, radar the V1200 in a dive. AirHammer out!!
INSANE! I really like this plane but they over did it on the price IMO. I love my v900's but my latest blew apart mid air on the first flight. Wing broke right at the mounting brackets. Hopefully this ones beefed up. I think my v900 was just a case of poor china QC.

That intro made it seem like it should take place in my studio lol Good job guys! 👊🏻
Belly land mine. Added a front foam skid for that. Works perfect.

Thanks JT I really appreciate it
Haaah.....Hats off both of you....flying and filming it.
Man this thing is crazy quick.
Nice job guys. Once again showing the plane & showing the fun in our hobby
Holy cow on 6S that things insane! Great flight and landings Ryan! Sweet 4S flight and landing by Bobby as well! Big thumbs up! Best regards!
Glad you enjoyed it
Outstanding shipmate from Galveston Texas.
Yep definitely got to have this one absolutely insane!!!
Same here brother!
Man your editing is getting good.
Thanks man!
Nice flying and thanks for the grass ops
That was for you dude!

Nice!!
I am putting this setup in my FMS PC21 can’t wait to test it
Finally had 152mph out of mine! So bloody happy, its only been doing 131mph but with a bit of back wind it did it? 😁👍
Nice
Just flew mine today for the first time. It’s tricky to land but fast as hell
That plane is a Zoomer for sure!

Do you think is possible to remove the gears and make it a hand launcher belly lander? Like the v900?
Great video. Loved it (again) 👍
Oh hell yes! Another Xmas gift to myself.

That plane is ridiculous! I must have it!
Chris L it is a good time for sure. I put the links in the description
That is insanely fast. Gotta get one.
Can't wait ! Ordered before the sun was up.
Thanks for using my website
Very, very impressive. This is quite heavy plane ~2.6kg with wing area 23.0 sq dm, the calculated stall speed is about 55kph. This plane needs a perfect runway and a perfect landing, otherwise be ready to replace retracts after every landing.
Which one did you enjoy flying more on grass: this one or the Air Tractor?
Air Tractor
Yep yep!! Definitely gonna pick this one up, looks like ALOT of fun...and 6S compatible and it has flaps!?....LETS GO!!!😃😃😃
Enjoy it, thanks for using my links
Hi....did you need a flap elevator mix? I know the manual says no, but I have a tough time believing it. Thanks!
I really want one. I hope it doesn't have the same problems from the V900. I hope they made the air frame better and stronger.
Haven't flown in a while, would this be a good plane that I can get back into it?
Added to my spring list!
Just added this baby to my must have list 👍🏻 awesome flying 😎👍🏻
do you think is ok to belly land it on grass ? like the v900?
Nice 190 wide gear stance. Kurt Tank would be proud
Would 5000 mah be overdoing it weight wise?
It is kind of heavy but it can take it
@@PilotRyanMedia okay thank you
What motor did they put in it and what prop ?
Could it take off in longer grass but not crazy grass
Looks and sounds like something out of the RENO AIR RACES 👍
Definitely going to order one of these!
Thanks! I’ve got my links in the description if you’d like to use them
Great video guys as always. Way too fast for me at the moment but sometimes to aim at. Stay safe 👍
nice ! Like the paint scheme ...
Great video! Looks like a ton of fun. Question for ya; is forward programming available or is the AR637TA locked, not allowing changes?
Wow I’m sold 🛬 💯 must have !!!
Glad you like it. If you get one don’t forget to use my affiliate li k in the description

I needed my daily dose of "Full throttle Johnny" From Windiana.

Awesome Ryan! Love it! Oh u have to have one if you have a V900
Does anyone know if the gear is more robust than the eflite viper?
they are totally different gear
No the Gear on the Viper is better. I love the v1200 but the landing gear suck. You can have a perfect landing and roll out. And still have to bend the gear back abit to get them to close. But its not terrible.
Great machine. Where can I buy one in Europe?

RYAN-Bobby....Killing it again👍👍👏. Glad to see it come back in one piece😜. You know what I’m thinking. Love to see Eflite using that SMART tech in the BNF. 😉
Love watching this plain 😍
Can you belly land this one since the landing gear are garbage?
Sounds like the damn Reno races lmao just not as loud. Very nice 👍🏽
Thanks for the 4s flight very interesting
will 6s 3,300 work with this plane?
yes, just be mindful of decreased flight times
HELP - Just got the v1200 - can not get the switch set up to control the SAFE on/off.

Make sure you se throttle cut and that you are in high rate. I always make safe sux 2 and assign it to b switch
@@PilotRyanMedia the flap was set to 98% so when I changed it to 100% it worked. Still can't get FORWARD PROGRAMMING TO WORK - get an error message - on my new NX8 that says CONNECTION FAILED.
Holy shit!!!! That’s insane
Ryan and Bobby K great flying. Don't see that one on my want list. The Old Man sticking to Big and Slow. ✈️😎💝💝
Bad bad plane 👍👍
Fast and retracts....Very cool!
Any hand tosses on SAFE?
Not yet
Nice job,
Will my dx6 handle that
Yes
Pretty docile for a speed demon 😈 looks awesome guys. 😎👍👍✌

That's a good one buddy!!!!
Nice ! 👍

SO SICK!!
Thanks Steve! Good time for sure. Can't wait to take it back out
What a great flier, terrific flight envelope and then...... holy !?$# what a screamer! Awesome. Would love to know the speed on it. Another great video!
I got my V1200. I repeat. I got my V1200. It came yesterday
I have the V900 but no grass field to fly it on :( It's just sitting in my garage.
That thing gets small quick! Nice....
Another great review 🤘👍 but who can afford Spektrum Smart Batteries?
"What A Good Time" 😊👌
I hate the fact they are so expensive here in Australia and that I know I will eventually own one. I think my wallet just filed for a divorce... 😏

Wow! Crazy fast! how do you spell that "ragallia" 😅
Hello from Germany
Can you say me How many % you have flaps? Half ans full
Thanks
How fast you think this is Ryan??
Somewhere between 120-140
Darn, going to have to get a 3rd job to pay for my rc habit. Sweet looking speed machine.
Me too!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bank and yank in safe select and she will come around a lot sharper for you surprised you haven't figured that out in the last couple videos
That thing is Smoking!!!
Holy shit I’m getting this such an awesome plane
this thing is cooking
Oh my you guys are killing me! Every time I think they need to put out another plane I am board with what I have, bang you do it a , M y wife said I had enough planes already , they don't understand !,,
I must click,,,🤩BB

Seems like it should be so much faster. The V900 ran close to 130mph !
Hopefully one day Horizon will sponsor someone who can actually fly well
Definitely a rocket on 6s
With all these videos out here for the flight v1200, no video is showing the user how they take the canopy hatch off the plane. Lol
nice
👍👍👍
I just wish Horizon would put as much effort into resolving their UK customer service issues as they put into pushing out new models..... :(
That plane is as fast as Hailie Deegan....
INSANE! I really like this plane but they over did it on the price IMO. I love my v900's but my latest blew apart mid air on the first flight. Wing broke right at the mounting brackets. Hopefully this ones beefed up. I think my v900 was just a case of poor china QC.
