Welcome to the Jon's RC channel! We are a dad, mom and son RC team! Jon is the primary RC pilot. Jon and I build the planes. His mom does the video recording, Jon does the video editing and I publish the final product. Jon got into RC airplanes with the 3-channel Hobby Zone Champ. He quickly learned to fly the 3-channel Champ and transitioned to 4 plus channel planes. Now, Jon can fly just about any RC model that can fly including Jet, 3-D planes, and Collective Pitch Helis! I created this channel so that we can give an honest review on RC airplanes and helicopters. Our goal is to promote the RC hobby in a fun and safe way. Although Jon makes flying RC airplanes and helicopters look easy, they are NOT necessarily easy to fly! Jon has been flying RC models for a few years now and is no longer a beginner. Thanks for stopping by and please subscribe to our channel!
I've got one on the way. I have the Valiant, but I want something I could fly low and slow, that doesn't require a lot of space to fly, and I wouldn't have to go somewhere to fly. Plus, because it flies so slow and in a small area, I could even fly it at night in my front yard under the street light. I don't expect it to be acrobatic, just something to float around and play with.
You can actually rewire the servos; I’ve done it myself. You must open up the servo to reverse some wires inside. Just reversing the servo wires won’t work.
Looks like the Volantex V761 series EPP toys have really started to bite into Horizon revenue. So much so that they have now had to resort to selling (more) re-brands of Chinese stuff. A pity that they chose the somewhat inferior TopRC Minis to flog off. They also had the manufacturer adjust the stabilization a little to retain some Rate Stabilization (AS3X) on the normally purely manual "Expert" mode. I've yet to find a "reviewer" who's had the brains to try whether the S-bus and/or DSM satellite sockets are still activated on these. 🙄
The rage RC planes are very durable, better than than Eflite foam (umx)by a long way. If you think the umx planes are better they are not. EPO is the future , 100 percent. It just needs more power, which is on the way. Eflite foam is really fragile and is designed to fail. As mentioned these planes fly well with a radio master tx I have a lot of these planes the p51 is much much better than all of the rest, the cub is one of the older models and has the older electronics, I believe.
Actually, the Eachine/Rage RC/Volantex (they’re the same) micro warbirds are made of EPP-huge difference from EPO. Those slope soaring combat planes (Zagis, for example) which are meant for contact combat) are made of EPP. They are virtually crash proof-you pick them up and you fly again. The Leading Edge Gliders slope soarers which are sport scale 48 in, 60 in, and 72 in wingspan warbirds, are made of this EPP foam. They can take moderate crashes very well-you just pick them up and fly again. EPO is not like that. You see what happens when one of those E-Flite EPO planes clashes.
Yep. There is honestly no reason why the similar-to-these but better Volantex V761 series toys should be outselling Horizon UMXs by ratios of 100s to 1 around the world. Anybody would think that those are being certified by Boeing techies!?😉😊
I'm actually very Surprised that Horizon Hobby put their name on the box. As long as this kind of plane stays far away from the UMX line, I'll be happy! Hopefully Horizon, E-Flite never uses EPO foam for their UMX line. I'm sure they know EPO is too darn heavy for the UMX line. Thankfully they use EPS foam which is absolutely the best for all UMX birds!!!
EPS is certainly the best for model planes - for the bean-counters in the Horizon Organization! Every time a "Beginner" dumps 1 onto the ground, bumps it on getting it out of the box/vehicle, grips it too hard or the cat/dog brushes past it, the poor dumb punter will be contributing more of his hard-earned cash to the Horizon coffers. Flexible EPP is for "Beginners!" Beer-Cooler EPS is for know-all "Experts" who can grease EVERY landing and can handle all their toys like Ming China! 😱🙄
Appears Hobbyzone/Horizon Hobby was losing customers as they were buying the UMX planes from Eachine and QIDI and a few other folks off Banggood and other sites that are cheaper than their products, SO they basically had the same aircraft made and is now selling it under their brand name instead of those other brand names...LOL
The "other" "UMX" planes, NOT talking about Horizon E-Flite UMX birds, are toy junk as far as I'm concerned, and I am sure most real modelers would agree with me!!
@@scotabot7826 You think HH. Eflite UMX birds are not Toys ? Bah ha ha ha any real modeler will tell you we build and fly TOYS. Some are Man sized and some kid size, some are wood, some are foam , some are plastic, or carbon fiber but they are still FLYING TOYS. And FYI be it QIDI, Eachine, Horizon, Hobby zone, Eflite etc they are all manufactured in China and most are slave labored for a few pennies and sold back to America for Hundred$ and also they all are of the same brand, they just use different ones depending on which company in the US sells them . And any of them can be made to fly better or worse depending on the operator and the tech installed. What makes those like HH, Eflite better is the electronics, BUT with a little help everyone regardless of brand can be made to fly Great IF they are on the hands of a "Real Modeler" And FYI any "real modeler" would already know all I just posted Ur Welcome
I don't understand how the FAA hasn't come after you for this Night flying without 3 mile visible Anti Collision lights. This vid is Evidence of a Federal Crime.
Being a 3 channel without aileron, assuming it banks when rudder is applied? Not sure if Ive ever flown a plane without aileron or maybe I'm just forgetting. Capable of rolls and flips?
Yes, when rudder is applied, it begins to bank. Because of the lack of ailerons it isn’t really capable of rolling (correctly anyway). But it has more than enough elevator authority to loop.
I've always liked the F-86. My Dad flew it in the USAF. I hate the short flight times with EDFs, but at least this one sounds good. Eflite's UMX A-10 sounds hideous. Thanks for the flight.
Nice to see. I have one of these. The only plane I kept when I left the club and started park flying sub 250g because i just loved how easily and scale it flys. Must find somewhere to give it an outing.
I saw, on YT, at the Joe Nall RC flying event that guys were flying planes costing thousands of dollars. Many of the RC pilots didn't look like they were having half the fun as you were having flying your $20.00 RC plane. Go figure.
