Beautiful plane, nicely flown and a big Hats-OFF to the CAMERA CREW! She makes you look good, Brian!
Thanks! She does a great job!!! This plane can do about anything, so when you can do anything, I want to fly for about an hour, and the camera crew wants to be done about 5 minutes in - LOL ;) She's a great sport!
Cancelled by back-ordered TTE and just pre-ordered this with two 5k 6S batteries using your affiliate link to support the channel. Thank you both for your time in presenting the most comprehensive reviews on UA-cam…it is very much appreciated! 👍🏻😎
Awesome thank you! We really appreciate you doing this!!!
Man bro love a hubby and wife duo having fun enjoying something that others would not even understand
Thanks Willie! We're glad you get it!!!
Another great flying plane with a very detailed build. I had purchased a Carbon Cub 2 meter. I have watched Brian's build videos and they have given me good tips for assembly. I will choose my next airplane based on his reviews. I plan to use his link for purchase, so he gets the credit for doing the work. He obviously loves his job, and has a great camera crew.
Cool, thanks - Proving me right about the "Best Audience on UA-cam" ;) Thanks!
@@BrianPhillipsRC can you fly it in small space
the day after tomorrow the Cessna 150T will be delivered at my home. I'm looking forward to. Thanks for pointing the bottle-necks and advices. Greetings from The Netherlands!
You're very welcome, and AMAZING plane - Good luck Koos Deen!
I have spent so much time watching your videos.. i now have a brand new cessna 150 T, carbon cub, and a husky im.going to put together today. Im very very excited to fly them! Your awesome brian (and wife).
Good luck! thanks!!!
Just had my first flight, 15mph winds on a 4s 5000mAh. It went well but needed more power. So I landed with the beautiful flaps and no need for reverse. I didn't think it would be that bad with 4s but it was lacking in the heavy wind. Not even close to unlimited vertical LoL. So had a freaking blast. Thanks for your channel and y'alls time. 🤘😊✈️
You're welcome, and glad to hear she'll make it on 4S....I wasn't brave enough to try it. I felt she was still "heavy" on 6S in stall turns...not that she can't do it, it's more that the power reserves help to make up for my lack of piloting skills at times ;)
In 15mph wind, she'll perform fine with 6S, but if you're landing into the wind (well, straight into the wind) you will need throttle to put her down going forward ;) When you get her up in calm, you will be in LOVE ;)
Hey guys, I fly mine on 4s occasionally, but only in calm or almost calm and steady air. It flies just fine, but, mushy, and I worry about not having enough power to pull out of trouble if I goof up. I've made turns onto final a bit too slow with my Timber-X and had one wing stall, fortunately the X has more than enough power to recover. The C150 doesn't feel strong enough on 4s to power out of a goof up. It's absolutely amazing on 6s and relaxing on 4s when the wind is calm. Happy Landings !
Brian, I love your videos. You are sharp and also have a great personality and sense of humor. Easily the best RC "how to" videos anywhere! It's also great that you are a really good RC pilot, and can put all these models you review through their paces in a way that showcases everything and answers all the questions that any of us highly experienced guys would ever want the answers to. I stepped away from flying power for quite a few years (got back into gliders) and I'd never owned or flown any foamie (I was actually adamantly "anti-foamie"). Jump forward 10 years and I'm shocked at how well engineered these modern electric foamies are, and I'm enjoying getting back into powered models with how easy it is to get a model in the air today with the super high level of prefabrication, and the level of scale detail is awesome! I always check now to see if you've previously reviewed a model I'm interested in. It doesn't stop me from buying and building/flying one if you haven't, but I know that if you have, the video will definitely be worth watching and also very entertaining. If we lived near each other, I can only assume we'd end up good friends. You would also be fun to have as a crew member on any of the jets I fly in my day job!
Also, your "camera crew" is first classs in every way. She is a big reason you're videos are so good. My wife is amazing, and yours obviously is as well. We are lucky guys to have such wonderful mates!
-Keith
Yes, your videos help. Installing the rudder and then the light were MUCH easier with your help.
AWESOME! Thanks Rick!
My kids and I really like your (and camera crew’s) videos! Entertaining, informative, helpful and fun!
😂🤟🤟 "bush plane, straight from a bush" hardest I've laughed in a good bit Brian. Thanks for the content!
You're welcome, thanks Luke!
@@BrianPhillipsRC always my favorite rc plane ✈️ pilot!!! Epic!
Just finished setting up my new Cessna great info step by step. Can't wait to fly it tomorrow morning didn't realize how big it was until I put it together!
Totally! This think is HUGE, and I love it!!!
did they fix the screw problem with your kit
Man that’s huge!!! Reverse thrusting! Omg 😱 the power on that thing!!!
True! Love this plane!!!
Your Camera crew is very good. What she is doing is not easy. It looks professionally shot. Thank you for posting this
Hi Brian, after watching this video from start to finish, I went and ordered the 2 RTL fastener kits. Hope the Carbon Z Cessena 150T will be my next plane. Great service from RTL. Ordered online and they were shipped the next day. Arrived a couple of days later. Nice set. All the best to You and the camera crew. And thanks for the BRIAN30
Thanks Timm! Glad you did. RTL has been a great company to partner with, and the quality is excellent!
I recently bought the plane and the cowl screw problem still exists but what the real problem is, is that the bit size that fits them perfectly is actually 1/16" and not 1.5 mm like everyone uses and horizon would have you think. 1.5 mm is a sloppy fit and you'll strip the head out tightening them down. Horizon accidentally put some s.a.e. size fasteners in the mix of parts is whats going on, because if you use a 1/16 size bit then the screws will tighten down perfectly, I promise you.
Glad I saw this purchased one yesterday. Had to take a bit to the bottom 2 holes that the motor mounts to as the hole in plastic wasnt big enough. Looks like they just used something hot and punched a hole though. The top 2 holes looks drilled though didnt have to touch them
Brian, my bad....been watching your channel for the last 10 years and finally gave it a thumbs up. LOL I'll make sure from here on out and all the re-runs. 😅🤣
Better late than never! ;)
Great timing Horizon/Brian..........I just bought the old one I found at a local Hobby Shop last week.
i prefer the old one with tricycle gear
@@musk-eteer9898 Well on the plus side it was $100 cheaper💲💲💲✈
Good find Paul!!! Glad you got one!
Great information regards assigning a SAFE switch. I was wearing out my switch counting back and forth. Nowhere did I see going into forward programming in the manual. You mentioned it and 30 seconds later everything was lovely. Thanks for that. Keep up the good work.
Hi Brian, the original version of this plane i had the same problem with the cowl screws. I patiently worked the screws in till they fit flush then mounted the cowl, a pain in the back side for sure. I found with the front wheel on the tricycle set up i had to file a new flat spot for the locking screw on the shaft, this then gave me the right angle to have enough thread on the push rod to align the front wheel correctly. A tip for you if you choose to try the tricycle landing gear. All that aside it's an awesome plane and really love flying it. A big G'DAY from Adelaide South Australia.
Thank you Roni!!! Glad to hear it wasn't "just me" - but agreed - AMAZING plane still!
That thing is absolutely incredible!....wow.
Thanks for the video even though its older..purchased this plane yesterday.
Never apologize for buying such an AMAZING PLANE!!!!!! This plane is EXCELLENT, and also a current offering. It is one of my true favorites (admittedly I have a lot)
Had to quit flying real planes due to cost. This will be a great alternative to get me off the ground. To get me even closer to being in the cockpit would be to put a camera on there. Thanks for the full review...I'M SOLD!
You can do FPV for sure on this plane. Should be no problem.
I received my 150T yesterday. I set up my NX8 accordingly to the manual and the AS3X &SAFE wasn’t working. I got your video out and went through set up again, and walaa everything is gravy. Thanks Russ ps Sorry I couldn’t get it from your link, I had a $130 coupon for Tower and Horizon wouldn’t honor it, rest assured, my next purchase will be from your link.
Glad we could help!
did they fix the screw problem with your kit?
Hi Brian. I bought what has turned out to be one of the last nosewheel Carbon Z C150's from a national retail chain. It was a also a pain to assemble for the same reasons you encountered. It took 2 trips to the local hobby shop to get screws that worked. Then, once I got it together I had serious motor problems. It would run at over 50% power but not less. After back and forth with Horizon four times they sent a new ESC and motor that arrived yesterday. I got the Avian ESC that comes with the new version. That seems to have fixed the problem. It's been almost a month since the purchase and it's not been flown yet. Hopefully it will fly in two days at my club's monthly meeting.
Well, at least you can do REVERSE THRUST now - Lucky duck ;) Kinda (took a month for a "free" upgrade - BTW, I hate to hear this happened. Great plane though!)
Wow! I finally got to fly the 150 yesterday with everything working. It took 6 weeks for all the fixes and a perfect day to come together. The nosewheel was also a problem. The set screws kept coming loose. A few drops of blue Lock Tight seems to have fixed that. Flies good and looks great in the air. Next up I'm ordering new FAA registration decals, N2871S. That's the 150 I flew for my private practical on 1/27/68.
A lot of the stuff that happens to Brian, happens to me also... especially the Allen Wrench/Hex Wrenchs crap. Great video and Crew!
yes! I had a guy say STAR bits worked???
I just ordered this plane I’m so pumped to get it love your videos iv watched this video twice thanks for all the tips and tricks with this beauty your channel rocks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
13:44 - woah
It was a bit squeelie.
For the tail led light and wire, I'd suggest a hot knife and cut a thin channel into the tail foam for the led wire. Then, spread a little foam patch "spackle" to cover the wire, and red marker color it.
Just got mine assembled 5mins ago..thing is pretty huge. Thanks for all the detailed videos. Btw I found the self tapping screws to work well for the cowl. Maybe they've updated hardware since yours also
Awesome! What a great plane. So glad to hear your self tappers worked well.
I'm super excited for you - WHAT A PLANE!!!!
So, I Maiden tomorrow. I think I've had "fall off horse" syndrome. Crashed my last flight in the late 1970s. Tomorrow I fet rid of that. Oh, your binding portion helped.
We hope you'll get back into the hobby. It's really so much easier these days, but loads to learn to get back up to speed. I know you can do it, if you want too, and we're here to help!
Another Awesome Video Brian ! Great flying and Great filming! Just Love it! By the way have you ever thought of a give away? It would be cool to have a plane and radio set up by Brian Philips! Love your Videos and setups, you da Man!
A few people have asked. I don't really know the first thing about running a giveaway.
Brian, great flight ✈️ guys this has been my favorite of all time plane for four years now. So much fun I love flying low and very slow, even thermals in the hot 🔥SoCal sun. Just click this is a winner 🏆BB
Nice! Thermals?!??! Sweet!!!
Some needle nose vice grips would've worked great getting that screw out Awesome plane over all Flies great that's the main thing Brian showed a great job of that Awesome job as always Camera Crew 🔥👍✌️
Thanks Eric. Yeah, I bet they would work great. I hope HH can work out this very small and forgivable, but very frustrating issue. I suspect they probably don't even know about it yet...now they do ;) LOL
Living in the country is excellent. Away from other people's crap.
1000000%
Great flying of a beautiful airplane! This one with the tricycle gear is definitely on my short list. I love flying it on real flight. Flew my Carbon Cub S2 the other day and got 20 minutes on a 3s 2200 gen1! Couldn’t believe it when I landed and saw how much time passed.
Totally! 20+ minutes on a BIG plane is just amazing in my opinion!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hi Brian, I too have a powerline in front of my house in the countryside, did you ever hit the cables?
Brian - being a sucker for a Tail dragged - I have forked out the Excessive purchase price for one of these (UK) £495.00 / $673.18 - and that's not the highest price they are being sold at here in the UK - I mean in the US you can get these for $500.00 and that's only £367.71 - but shipping and Import tax puts it beyond sensible to purchase from the states.... so sorry did not use your link - but love the video and will save it to help me when I do the assembly - 3 days to its arrival ....... Keep up the good work ..
I'm glad you got one, bummed that you can't use my link.
You'll love it.
@@BrianPhillipsRC - I would just like to add that i appreciate your videos and especially when I purchase the aircraft , as you say I now know what to expect and to look out and avoid the issues that you have highlighted... thanks ... about the screws !!! Joke or Sarcasm both work for me LOL..... I got this because it is a tail Dragger so no disappointment from where I am sitting :-)..
What nimrod that made up the hardware bags?! Why in the heck didn't they mark the bags?! What a Charlie Foxtrot! AND why the heck didn't they use phillips instead of metric allen wrenches. To quote a current famous nimrod, "C'mon man!" Don't know what we'd do without you guys. Thanks, Brian and 'Camera Crew'!
You had me at - "C'mon Man" - This was a PERFECT conversation - it was perfect ;) LOL
...But, yes 100% agreed, why the heck didn't they number these things!!! How hard can it B (did you catch that, I even Lettered my commend - C'mon Man!!!!!)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I was assembling last nite. I had 3 heads strip out and had to finish with needle nose vise grip as I had no spares. Now the collet on the propeller shaft won't tighten enough to hold. Dunno WHAT I'm gonna do about that. This is the WORST hardware package I've ever gotten from Eflite/ HH.
All these reviews ....but yours is like waiting for the main feature film. Well done Brian & Megan. Just like my 150Z with the nose wheel cut off. Regards Noel in OZ
Thanks so much!
That taillight is sick. Man oh man.
I agree!
Dear sir:
I have an FPV proposal. There is nothing more cool than landing FPV. It heightens the experience because things are happening, and the ground is coming up, and it is total immersive experience. Here is the proposal: FPV landing with PAPI lights that shoots the landing decent approach. PAPI lights would give you the proper glide descent angle. I have not yet seen any youtubers make a PAPI light FPV landing approach video. I just think that would be so neat.
I personally have not flown rc in 20 years, but I am looking at the turbo timber with its flaps and slats and I want to do FPV touch and go.
By the way, PAPI lights are not hard to make. It doesn’t even have to be a ‘light’ It can just be visible white and red paint that is half covered (ie the red is covered up at a certain visual angle and the white at another angle). PAPI lights.
So, what do you think? Would you ever consider a PAPI light landing FPV video? Thx.
This would be very cool, but I could ALSO use them for PPG landings ;) I have it on my list of things to think about.
P.S. I HAVE FPV'ed my Timber 1.5m - very fun stuff!
Brian watching your Cessna 150T again, I had an idea that mite help if you would like to take the time. Take a rotor tool with the thinness
disk and cut a slot across the head of the screw than you can tighten the screw with a flat screw driver.
I've done this before too, but when you head up screws that close to foam, it can get a bit scary ;)
Brian, I really love the lights on any plane!!
Me too!
Hello, I believe that it was a Cessna 150 that was featured in the movie " Fandango ". It may be worth a look if you have not seen it.
I would have been a bit young for that movie... ;) And yep, looks like a Cessna 150 in the trailer
@@BrianPhillipsRC d:), well, it's a Rom-Com and a flying movie so I hope you all will give it a try. Oh yes, emphasis on the " Com ".
Great video quality 👍 love the content and the ambiguous remarks.😜😆
Thank you Jim!
My engine plate was on backwards out of the box. I couldn't get to fit into the recessed spots on the top. Just had to unbolt it and flip it over. Plus I had the same issues with my bolts wanting to strip
I wonder why they used these weirdly inferior screws on such a GREAT plane???? Either way, glad it's together now!!!
I just found out what the Velcro is for by the battery. They hold the battery straps up and out of the way. I have done this on several of my models.
yes sir!
for ANY stripped out allen head, you can use a torx bit and it will work.. make sure to get torx bit in as much as possible
I've used them before, great idea! Not sure if I have one that's this size though...
@@BrianPhillipsRC maybe like a t5 or something super small. I been a master tech for a long long time.
@@BrianPhillipsRC man I wish you would do a killer review on the dji m30t
Ok BP if you could only get one batter witch one would give the best flight time for lazy scale flying?
I'd probably go with a 5000mAh 6S, since it'll work in many planes.
5000 6S bit.ly/2SG0DUT
...get ready for a second mortgage ;) LOL
Great video. Mine was missing the 6 bolts for the landing gear. But I have a lifetime supply of RTL fasteners :) Thank-you for going through the SAFE and AS3X setups. Very confusing in the manual.
HI Brian, I am just getting back into RC planes after being out 40 years. Wow, have things changed! Thank you for all the time you put into making these videos they have been a big part of what has brought me back into the hobby. I bought a Concendo Evo and LOVE IT. I may pick up a Carbon Z Cessna but I have one concern, how long are the parts available for these foam planes? I would hate to spend $500 on a plane and not have replacement parts when the inevitable happens. I will even remember to use your links this time. :) Thanks again!
Awesome plane! Looks so fun to fly.
Totally is!!! You gotta come out and see these things some time ;)
Beautiful. Awesome. Plane.❤
Sure is!!! thanks ;)
Where do you put all these planes?, love the big chunky wheels, that plane is elegant in the air.
Basement, Kitchen, Office and Office closet - all over :)
Awesome! Keep an eye on the tail wheel with the shimmy action.
yes
Great video Brian, much appreciated :-) I bought this plane and used your video as a guide. Same problems regarding the screws which were changed to better quality. Only thing that bugs me are those noisy servos. The sound seems to come mainly from the flap servo's. Any idea why they make that much noise on this plane ? I also have the Turbo Timber Evo and on that plane you hardly hear the servo's on the setup bench.
The foam does seem to resonate the sound, but with high power digital servos, and AS3X, there can be an annoying "hum" that is unavoidable in my experience.
I mean, you can hear it flying over out of throttle!!! BUT, if that's the biggest complaint about this plane, I'll take it...LOVE THIS HUUUUGE BEAUTY!!!
I will be getting that. That is like the seconed plane I built as a kid. First a spit fire then that with an 010 Cox. Balsa wood. I got to have it even more than Draco.
You will love it. Very fun to fly, and very BIG.
Excellent review of this plane. I have one now, and love it. I use the thrust reverse often upon landing, mostly just to practice using it in case I mess up and the plane is heading towards a fence or something on the landing roll. I was intrigued that you were disappointed at not getting the nose wheel option with the plane. I've found tricycle gear R/C planes to be a pain to take care of, the nose wheel mounts tend to be weak and get loose / floppy after a few landings. Especially HH products, they really need to up their game on nose wheels. I really liked the original C150, but, didn't get one because of the nose wheel. When I saw the release of the taildragger, with other improvements, I grabbed the first one my local hobby shop got in. I'm very happy I waited, this plane is rugged and I've made use of the smart tech and thrust reverse. Anyway, I always enjoy your flight reviews, very through, informative, down to earth and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Dan! I was only disappointed until I used this plane for a few flights, and now I LOVE it. STOL and BUSH plane 100%. Tri Cycle in BUSH setup with Tundra Tires would be REALLY COOL too - gotta admit ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I'll be interested to see when you put floats on the C150, I plan to at some point for mine. I have floats for my Timber, Timber-X, Twin Otter, all are great float planes, but, the Twin Otter is perfect for floats. I'll be excited to try out the Cessna on the water sometime. Will you be doing a video of any float planes, this one or others?
The nosewheel is fine on mine. Learn how to land properly and you won't trash them.
@@whoknows8678 My landings are just fine, and you need to less arrogant.
@@danfalbo Yeah, okay...sure...
Just a note on setting up your Transmitter, you move fast through things, and you seem to never get it right the first time through, so then you're going back to fix things, it makes it very hard to follow you. So you're right, we need help, and I'm visual, so I like to follow along.
Not sure if you realize, but we're also figuring out a lot of this for the first time too. I realize it would be nice if I never made a mistake, but this is how we all learn. Our more recent footage will help get things right on the first go-around, but seems we're always figuring out the next thing anyway. About the time I think I've figured it out, here comes the next thing I need to adapt too...so yeah, we do go back and forth.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I hope you know I wasn't trying to make you feel bad, I just wanted you to know you have a channel that we try to pay attention to, so when you have to go back, just know we're trying to follow you., and sometimes you jump very quickly and it's a challenged to keep up. You're one of the better RC pilots on UA-cam, and you understand the transmitter very well. I'm trying to learn from you so I can help a new pilot to learn his transmitter too. I've been flying for 8 years now, but the Transmitter has always been a bit of a challenge. I love that you and your Camera Crew work together so well. 😀
Fresh Corn! Nice plane.
Now I also tried putting the tail light in the socket and tried like you did by pushing it in with a tool and of course one of the wires broke. I got it solderer back together, but now should I try and make the hole a bit bigger in the tail? I guess I will try that and hopefully it will work.
I'm not sure...maybe figure a way to keep the pressure on the plastic, not the wires??? Sorry, I can't even remember this part (I've blocked it out of my memory...like PTSD of Model building...I move on so quickly that my brain protects me from the anguish of all the difficulties of building almost any plane - LOL)
I was a little disappointed in that I have a flaw in the red on the wing and a spot on the fuselage. Looks like someone tried to fix the flaws but they were dull instead of shiny.
The flaw on the wing had small bubbles. So usually when I have flaws that I cannot fix to my liking, I put bullet hole decals on them and it works out and gives the plane a bit of interest from on lookers.
LOL - Nice!!! Gotta love the "I've been in a dogfight" look ;)
Hi Brian
Straight of the bat THIS SEEMS A BETTER KITE THAN BIG RED
DRACO......I'm guessing a hell of a lot lighter which is the dracos downfall
It is a better flying plane, but still Draco is more beautiful, so depends on what you're after ;) Looks or performance - which one is more important to you ;)
So Brian another suggestion for screw size issues I have rc trucks & cars & have hex drive screw kits stainless from Horizon/axial racing that are solid replacements, awesome plane great video 😉👍🛩
I wish I could say I thought my tip was the problem (Sorry, I just heard it too) but I think it's the bolts in this case...
@@BrianPhillipsRC no big deal we all deal with q/c stuff even with Horizon 😉👍
Brian --Tail Rudder hinge fix I use 2 part epoxy --- 15min--- gives me time to adjust
Sure does!
Must be way lighter than the CZ T-28 2.0m. Takes me a good 8-10 seconds at full throttle to take off in short grass w takeoff flaps.
Different wing type, and this one might be a bit better on grass, due to the larger tires ;)
Ouch !! $500 plus one battery.....$100... Ahaaa yes the price of being a boi again !!! Luv the toys Bravo !! Well Done Brian & Camera crew !!!
Thanks! Too bad they couldn't make them cheaper, but from what I understand, they've been trying to hold down cost from their suppliers a lot, but then every savings they get is overshadowed by a new or huge increase in another area. This is gonna be the name of the game till the world gets back to work, I think, and it's a big bummer - finally get some cash, and then you can't afford anything - LOL
Do you suggest this plane or a Turbo Timber 1.5 Evo as a second plane coming out of a trainer?
Timber 1.5m is way more practical, but if you have the money for 6S and this plane, and you are careful, this is an AMAZING plane.
Catch is, every hangar needs a Timber Evo 1.5m...might start there either way???

Brian you mite add a wind sock to get a true wind direction. You mite put it on the top of your house.
When we build our new building (if lumber ever comes down), we plan to have some wind veins on there too.
You are one heck of a salesman Sir. 😁
This plane sales itself :)
That was a cool take off out of the tall grass What a beast Back to the video hehe
Yeah, but I made a huge grassy mess - LOL - Megan was nice enough to clean it up for me.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Well that was nice of Camera Crew That's why she gets best camera crew award 🔥👍✌️
Super
Totally agreed ;)
Hello hope all is well but I need your honest opinion which one better this plane are draco?????
Tough call. I like the Carbon Z Cub best, price to value to size ratio considered, but the Draco is better than THIS plane, but THIS plane flies better (purely on basis of FLIGHT performance)...but it's harder to get, and quite a bit more pricey too :( - tough call!

I love that this plane gives you all these landing gear choices, tricycle, floats, and Skis(!) unfortunately all of those are options you have to buy separately, and for some reason not in stock...(seriously HH?) I'm super surprised the TTEvo gave you floats. Cant wait to try those when my property floods this winter.
I'm with you on that. I get not including all the options, since this would really drive up the cost, but nice if stuff was in stock. By the time things are in stock, people are moving on to another plane - frustrating.
Amazing plane !
sure is!
Hi Brian, I have got the Cessna Carbon Z 150 with a Tricycle undercarriage, what is the chance of making it twin axel with balloon tyres plus tail wheel. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you. UK.
It's not impossible, but from what I've been told, and from looking over the plane, you kinda need to start with the TAIL GRAGGER configuration then you can swap back to tri-cycle, but without replacing the fuse, you can't really get away with it easily.
You CAN do it, but you'll have to mod things kinda crazy, and with the way we seem to like to fly the Carbon Z Cessna 150T, I bet you'll be breaking home-made stuff, unfortunately.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you Brian for your reply and so promptly. Happy Flying.
You're a good ground pilot.
LOL - Not sure if that's a backhanded compliment - LOL
I just realized your caliper is from harbor freight. I was looking for a set online when I found the same ones you have. LOL
Sure is! One of my subscribers got that for me ;) Nice gesture!!! I have the same one in my basement shop, but I was too lazy to get batteries - LOL!!!
Sexy birdy, reminds me of the Maule, as far as geometry. Just a little different on the wings, and a avian smart esc.
Flies a lot different than the maule, in experience. I wanted to share this plane flying in the calm.
OK, between you and a couple others, I've figured out my plane - this Cessna. Now, new flyer (flew Sig Kadet YEATS ago) and, with the new electronic capabilities, I should be able to handle this. My question (you, newby) is, since I have no instructions, ert., what is Expo? Thanks!
Think of EXPO as a way to soften the center of the sticks. IT's easier to just TRY IT and then see if you like it. It's a 2 minute setup and you can make it so it works on a switch. I talk about my NORMAL method, and it's pretty straight forward.
When you fly a stabilized (AS3X Artificial Stabilization Three Axis ) plane you will be AMAZED by how locked in the plane feels. SAFE (Sensor Aided Flight Envelope) will automatically level the plane when you let go of the sticks, but you may not need or want that if you already know how to fly.
What I'd recommend...just get flying, but if you can tolerate the higher cost of the NX8 (computerized transmitter), rather than just getting a RTF (Ready to fly) you'll benefit greatly from the better controller, and you can start getting things going from the get-go.
There's so much to do and learn, you won't get it all in a few videos, let alone a single comment, so please do come back with questions. We do this for so many people, it's just part of what we do here on BrianPhillipsRC
@@BrianPhillipsRC already decided on the NX8 :)
This question is more for the viewers,did they fix the screw problem with the tailwheel mount and nose bowl screws on the later shipped planes?
Are you talking about that plastic thing that opens up when you tighten the set screw, by chance? In my experience...NO ;\
@@BrianPhillipsRC no,wrong size screws on tailwheel bracket and nose bowl screws
Man that is a huge ass plane my neighbors already think I’m flying a B 57 I would like one though😉👍👨🏻✈️
Do it ;)
You the man on this stuff :) Curious if you had to change d/r expo settings after the maiden? Also they must have changed the function list on an update.... It no longer shows flaps?
Function List only shows flaps if you have the right AIRCRAFT TYPE set to ailerons and flaps - I've been caught off guard with this once or twice ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC as I said you the man! That explains it. I was going through all the settings one by one like you're doing in your video .... and I realized when I turned it back on everything was gone. So apparently I did something wrong and nothing got saved
I'm excited about this plane, but not excited about the price.
You might try it with the wheel pants as a tailwheel before you go full conversion for a scale look test flight! If I get this, I'd have to get all landing gear configurations myself, as I'm a sucker for it looking like a scale Aerobat like the original Carbon Z 150 (plus flying on skis in the snow would be epic). I'd be curious out of all the "bush plane" tail draggers you've flown, which one do you like enjoy the most? I love the scale planes like Draco, Maule, and this Cessna, but sometimes the RC designed platforms - like the Timber - tend to fly better.
Also, I love a big squishy pair myself. :D
I like the Carbon Z Cub 2.1m the best. It's a preference thing, not so much a performance thing.
The Draco is still nicer in a few ways, but in my experience, with the big pneumatic tires on mine, I really LOVE the Carbon Z Cub.
Need your opinion. I want a big plane, big enough I gotta take the wings off. I have Conscendo, Apprentice, T28, Twin Otter. I mostly fly in Safe, love scale flying. So Cessna 150 or Draco?
If you love SCALE flying Draco is the way...but it's a LOT more money for a very, VERY slightly...marginally less good flying, but WAYYYYYY more beautiful plane.
Both are AMAZING...you will not regret either plane.

Brian, I was pretty much decided on the Giant Carbon Cub as my one big airplane. Then I see you show this plane and I really must say, I'm a bit confused. This plane looks great too! They are both tail draggers, so which one do you prefer?? And why?? You are the RC GOD!!! so I'm looking for some good input. I know I'm still a bit away from flying this yet, but I have someone who is willing to sponsor me in a big plane as a Xmas gift. So I might as well get one and have it for when I'm ready to advance. This would be my 3rd and last airplane. Thanks as always!
If you have a sponsor, pick the more pricey one now, and then when they've already bought it...get the other one too ;)
Do it!

P.S. Battery is important, and it's HUGE...so please get one or the other, but the larger will fly both of these planes for upwards of 25+ Minutes - NO BS - we filmed it!

Whenever I come across a screw that my "normal" philips head screwdrivers don't work on, I immediately think "JIS". But if some of the screws were "regular" ones, probably not a JIS thing.
These ones just sucked in general. Awesome plane, sucky screws ;)
Brian Phillips, grate unboxing assembly and flying of the carbon Z 150 T, I notice it has reverse, I have the carbon Z 150 Cessna with the tricycle gear, I want to buy the receiver that comes with the carbon Z T so I can get reverse on the Z 150 Cessna
The ESC and Rx work together....so it's quite expensive to add that feature.

Thats great, would like to have one, Living on disabilaty so money is tight, How much for whole kit-n-kabootle?
I am guessing $6 or $8 hiundred?

My field is a huge paved parking lot. Leaning towards Tricycle option, is it it well done on the 150T if I buy them? Front strong enough?
Tri Cycle was supposed to be weak...but I never had it.
Would you say a Draco is best out the this one and the carbon z?? Only 100 more??
I'm conflicted....they're ALL great! Carbon Z Cub, Carbon Z Cessna 150T, and the Draco
Hi Brian. Awesome video; so helpful. I got this plane for Christmas and am just now getting it set up for our upcoming flying season, here in southern Ontario, Canada. My Transmitter is a fully updated ix12.
The digital servos on this plane make some serious noise. You comment on the noise at the 2:43 mark. Do you have any suggestions regarding eliminating the noise? Is it harmful? Thanks.
Yeah, they're LOUD, in fact, louder than almost any other plane I have....well, a few are similarly loud, but as for making them quieter, I've never figured out a way to do this.
You will LOVE this plane! I'm excited for you to get it flying.
Hey Brian. I’m torn between buying either the Carbon-z-Cessna or the Carbon z Cub SS. Which one do you personally recommend? I’m looking for power and performance rather than scale detail
I think you get a slightly better value with the CZ Cessna 150T, given it comes with LED's, but beyond that, I just have a soft spot for the CZ Cub...I love the looks of a Cub!

@@BrianPhillipsRC cool! Did you notice any difference in power between the two? Which aircraft is more capable of hovering?
Now that's a grass takeoff.
Thanks Alex!
They made the Timber 1.5 and the Turbo Timber too good. The Timber is pushing 6 years old and became a float plane to avoid “The Hangar of Death”. The Turbo Timber, doesn’t get out much, but still looks brand new. Hell, I still have plane number 1, the Apprentice S 1.5.
LOL!
Try using a wide rubber band on the odd size hole like you did with the plastic bag
I need to try this the next time I have to work with these goofy screws.
Hi Brian, i been watching your video on the cessna 150T and the nx8, How did you get to the Avian prog screen on the nx8? By the way Great video's
Scroll all the way to the right when you're at the flight screen...you will see it. BUT you have to get in the menu within a few seconds of startup, FYI.
Have you tried putting a flat rubber band over head of screw or bolt head to tighten it down?
No, I forgot to try that!!!!! DANG IT!
Those clips are called body retention clips, from auto racing - RC and real )hood clips).
Thanks Rick!
hey brian, quick question. i set my 150T up useing this video, when we programed the remote like you did, we used switch F for dual rates and expo . when i plugged my plane in everything worked awesome. however when i flip switch f down my throws dont change at all. why is that?
There isn't really a big change in output.
If you do exactly what I suggest (which is basically the same on most every aircraft I setup), there will only be a 10% reduction in total throw for any given control surface with "F" in the higher expo/lowest rate setting (with the switch toward your belly or down).
When you will see more difference, is in the OUTPUT CURVE. Your EXPO is only going to change how much the control surface moves, compared to your stick input, toward the CENTER of the stick, and the RATE part will impact the total output in a straight linear way...
Maybe just make sure they look the same as the video, and then if you REALLY want to see if it's "working" change the RATE on the setting mentioned above from 90% to like 60%, and you'll DEFINITELY see it.
...but to reiterate, EXPO is pretty hard to SEE, as it has to do with output PER stick position.
