Probably not a great "first airplane". You are better served by a slow flying, inherently stable, propeller trainer. Inherently stable trainers don't need controlled at all times. They basically cruise around at half power by themselves. Jets and EDFs have a slower response to power and take a little planning. They can also confuse you about what its orientation is in the air. I suggest purchasing a pre-owned "Real Flight" brand simulator with controller somewhere like eBay. It will cost you less than $100 and will save you somewhere around $500-$1,000 in crashed airplane parts while learning to fly. You will never become a great RC pilot without a sim to practice on for "free".
James another great instructional video. 5am and the Old Man enjoying with my coffee☕. This plane was already on my want list. Just moved closer to the top. ✈😎💗
EDF systems come out pretty easily. There is a hatch on the bottom to get access. You would have to find a 12 blade that fits this motor, or a whole new system. But with small jets like these 64mm, more blades just reduce efficiency. 5 blades makes it perform far better or we'd have offered 12 blade options from the start.
depends on usage and storage. If you properly charge them, discharge them, they can last years. If you abuse them, they can die much earlier. I started working here in 2017 and still use the 6s 5000's I got back then. Haven't noticed any sort of performance woes but I never fly them to LVC and I always storage charge them after I get home from the field.
Can someone help me? I have this model. I purchased the admiral 1600 30c battery and connected it to the aircraft. However, I have no idea how to connect the power to ailerons and there is also an extra connector with red, white and black wires.
Hard to understand the issue here. Can you post a few pictures of your issue or even a video over on our Motion RC customer community Facebook group? I’m sure our thousands of members can help you out.
This plane only requires 4 channels. 4 channel receivers vary in price but are definitely the least expensive receivers on the market. It all depends on what transmitter/protocol you fly with like Spektrum/Futaba/FRSky/JR etc. You want to buy a receiver that works with the transmitter you own.
This is the worst plane that I have flew. Need more power. The CG is a problem. You cannot flare when landing. Landing gear is high. He falls to the left/right. I really do not recommend.
Same here mate, have the F-104 and 60% out of times it just flies straight into the ground no matter how hard you throw. Thrust is waaay to low for this thing.
@@MotionRC Your customer service, marketing and most of your products are really up there but just not this one (design flaw imo). Shit happens as we say but, nevertheless keep going motion!
@@lukasvercaempst44 exactly. Needs about 80 meters for take off. I bought my at Aliexpress last year. After 1 month and only 5 flights, I gave as a gift to a poor children to put in his bookcase
When you are out of F-8's you are out of fighters
What a cool little aircraft, I love RC planes but I haven’t found the one that I want to start with but this is looking like a good starter for me.

I can’t get my models elevation separate from the ailons. The right and left side do the same thing.
This aircraft is an elevon set up, the ailerons and elevators are supposed to work together as elevons.
looks magic wee plane james cant wait to get one

Can a 12 blade system be installed in this airplane and if so, how?

Hi, can I ask you a question?
How many years does a 6s battery last? I mean, you will have to replace them after some time. Thank you!

@@MotionRC thank you very much!
Do yall have tutorials for setting up with an ar410 4 channel spektrum reciever? Thanks for this video!
Looks like you could easily cut out the rudder and mount a servo.
When will the rc tanks be back in stock on your store?
Needs another servo to lift the leading egde of the wings like on the real one ;-)

Could we feature the T45 Goshawk on the channel?
What's the price for the receiver for the f 8 ??

What scale is it?
Can i ask, wich parts should i buy if i want to fly it?
Need a Battery, Transmitter and Receiver. Many options to choose if you don't already own a transmitter
@@MotionRC Thank you so much, so servo included.

Sorry to hear, just did a new flying video yesterday. She flies great.
