Nice review guys and flight I like mine I had to shoot a light yellow paint scheme on it I kept losing it in the blue sky but thats me old lol mine flys great too good job and glad to see you back again😊😊😊
This is the most disgraceful and unethical company I have ever seen. Their hardware failed in a plane and it had a catastrophic crash. They basically told me to kick rocks. They answered none of my concerns and just respond with the same stock response. THEN then delete the completely honest reviews I posted with picture evidence. About as dishonest as it gets.
Stop buying those crappy Spekky batts and you’ll save some money. Plenty of other brands that are great quality. And you don’t need more than 30C discharge for that plane - it doesn’t draw high amps.
I maidened my Pitts today. I ditched the reflex gyro and went with an AR630, Zoar 16X8, Metal gear servos, stock esc, battery mod (used a foam block). No trim needed 10mph wind and flew like a dream with 4000 mah 6S with timer set to 7 minutes. CG was perfect. Very happy with this plane.
...enjoyed y'all's video...ugly yes I agree . the fun factor is what this plane is all about...plus the avian esc allows for "thrust reverse"...another fun factor....
Great review. Can't wait to get mine. It's supposed to be here this week. I'm excited that it uses the 3s 2200 batteries. One thing I can suggest on a safety note. I try not to get used to having my hands and arms in the prop arc when plugging and unplugging the batteries. One turn of that prop can seriously injure you.
5 minute timer?? I have 2 Valiants. One with wheels and the other with floats. On a 3S 2200 I can usually easily get 15 minutes flying at half throttle which seems the most realistic to me.
That´s absolutely right!The only right thing to do with FMS models is throwing everything out;motor,servo´s and ESC and at the end you have an expensive plane but otherwise sooner or later you will crash it if you keep the original junk they put in.
2-25-24....I put larger wheels on my Valiant but it still noses over trying to take off on grass. Grass is NOT very long. Is it balance? I see videos of folks easily launching from grass with original wheels and skirts???
Place some LED´s on it and you can call it a Glow Stick :D I need this plane. Loved it the first time I saw it. Makes perfect sense when I picture an RC plane.
I want this plane but you are right about the speed. I'm not good enough and I can easily see myself losing the plane very fast. I need to look for another glider, I can practise with until I'm ready for this bird. I thought adding weight by using a bigger battery could maybe slow it down, but that would be stupid to go that way haha.
Thank you I'm thinking of adding this as my next plane. I have an aeroscout and a TrojanT-28 as my main flyer. A friend at the club says he may sell me his Valiant. Thank you a good video showing the capabilities of the plane. Thank you.
Hey guys, compliments to you on your new videos they are a lot better than this one! lol… and I just noticed it’s kind of strange the way that airplane flies because I also have one and it flies amazing! it actually almost flies like the RV-8! I am very impressed with it, … shockingly impressed. I did not expect it to perform as good as it does. Just throwing that out there. Sharing the info. Good luck on your new videos.
There is learning curve on making & editing videos. We're definitely better at it. This is a good plane. TJ probably has 100 flights on his. For its size, it's a great flyer
Nice vid. Hec… my mamba 60e took me 2 days to assemble! And I used to build race cars! 😂 I will be putting my RV-8 G2 60e together on Saturday, but I’m first taking out the pilot to paint it! I think it’s ridiculous that they are not painted for the amount of money I paid for this piece of foam! lol… I know how you guys felt flying this because that’s exactly how I felt when I flew my mamba for the first time! Thanks for the video.
Good video but the plane flies like crap if you ask me, and it flies just like mine! Which is why I’m here watching videos trying to figure it out. I’ve done everything I can I even reset the entire receiver and all the controls and it still flies like garbage, even after I add weight and remove weight. Next thing I’m gonna try is to add a lot of weights upfront to see if it finally flies well. Today was my fourth flight with it not good. All my other 20 planes fly Amazing….. this one, I can’t get it to fly normal to save my life! 😂 welp… back to the drawing board and thanks for sharing this video. Now I don’t feel so like the only one! lol [edit] added weights to the nose and a 4000 pack all the way forward to make the nose barely tip forward on the CG, and finally! It flies beautiful! so, just sharing the info.
Like you say it could teach new pilots bad habits. The plane is that rock solid in the air it might lure newcomers into a false sense of security. They fly this really well because the plane flies amazing then spend loads of money on a big petrol powered P51 and expect the same results but it consequently bites them in the arse leaving a bitter aftertaste towards the hobby. But for more experienced flyers this does look like the holy grail of planes I must say. Amazing review guys.
@@OSVALDOGUGLIELMI I thought the point of the tight spring was so that the landing gear would have some give if in fact a rough landing occurred. It appears to me that making the landing gear rigid would defeat the purpose - no?
Making these videos it’s not for everyone lol… With some proper training and learning some techniques you guys could probably pull it off. Nice try tho!
I just finished doing the exact same mods to mine… except the prop is a 16x8 Xoar. During preflight yesterday (12/2/23), I discovered one aileron servo with a gear issue - partially stripped. Brand new, too; replacement arrives Wednesday.
We replaced servos after the second flight. same issues, stripped plastic gears. It was not worth risking a crash. The plane is good out of the box with exception of the servos. The ESC & Prop mods are just icing on the cake!!
