I will still fly, I will still encourage others to fly, I will still build and dream despite any crazy virus or being socially distant.
This is just my humble channel , sharing my love of this wonderful hobby. Disclaimer!!!! I am the pilot, narrator, and NORMALLY he only cameraman so please stay tuned to see how a one man show can really screw things up, lol!!!
I will try to keep fresh videos up as my work and the weather allow me to fly!! God Bless!!

All videos are now being filmed with a Gopro Hero 8 black at 1080p 60fps at either medium or narrow view. Or filmed with a Samsung Galaxy 21 ultra 5g for Man Cave builds, rants, and unboxing videos.

Please like and subscribe! I bring you these videos to further the love of this great hobby.

I just bought this plane Greg it is the 1700. Just wanted to know what you set the rates at? It seems like you like the 100./30 80/30 70/30 all expo at 30? This is what I have my carbon cub to set at. Can I set this plane with the same rates to start out with any suggestions you could give me I would so kindly appreciate it. This is a bigger plane so I want to at least get it flying like my carbon cub.S2

I also moded my L39. I got tired of those springs stretching out. So I put in the struts from the 70mm fms Yak. I’ll put a video up once I’m done with painting her.

What is the new average wind speed you are flying in these days? Also did something happen to the T7a? You haven't shown the maiden yet. I hope its okay.

My average wind speed I would say about 14 mph. The T&-a was sent back for a full refund due to a faulty ESC and other minor issues.

@ficosk8
@ficosk8 3 дня назад
Very nice flights! She seems to float and flair a lot so landing will take a bit more concentration for me but better so as landing with 40mph or so 🤣 haven’t you tried the current and V measurement from LemonRX? I have them for XT60 but haven’t tested it yet. I’m waiting to order the ec5 adapter / sensor to try it on my jets :D I suppose she could go also to the 125 mph if taking off and climbing an bit slower saving mAh and V and then ripping the hell out of her in a deep dive :D But that would be just a max max … super nice video!
@FatGuyFliesRC
@FatGuyFliesRC 2 дня назад
No I have not tried the readings, I know it is useful info but to be honest I am a very instinctive pilot and fly by feel and visual. That does not help those who need the info but i try to get into the technical end of it it for viewers sake but It is not my forte.
@ficosk8
@ficosk8 3 дня назад
You adjust your rates/travel just per % as I’ve heard on your videos? I’ll try it out and measure the mm . I’m too lazy to measure every time the travel/deflection but probably % don’t work with every RC System the same. But I have also a Spektrum radio, hope it works. Now I’ll watch your video. Yesterday I subscribed. I was sure I already was so my excuses!!

Absolutely great Jet! But,blue with white is camo for the sky and it’s small enough as it is. However, I just picked up the Hobby King Viper 64 (neon green and silver!)and I think it’s going to give great competition to best 64mm edf. It’s really sweet all rounded Jet. Hopefully you will get a chance to review one… I’d love your thoughts on it👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
