Arrows - F-15 Eagle - Twin 64mm - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights 

100% she is amazing! I can't do it!!!

Nice! Thanks Robert!

So glad you're getting there...it takes time and loads of practice, and you have to give yourself a bit of a break sometimes...don't be too hard on yourself, but also don't give up! Keep at it and you will be there at some point. Glad we're part of your journey! Remember, you can't buy it...you have to earn it ;)

BrianPhillipsRC happy new year and stay epic always! Breathtaking flight!

@@BrianPhillipsRC At 67 i was a little slow getting used to the controls but am now flying my turbo timber umc and aeroscout and having a blast. thanks again and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

NICE!

Thanks so much - This plane is amazing! Glad you enjoy the content!

Thanks!!! This plane just makes you loose all sense of reason as you fly...you want to keep going!!!!!!!!!

We got the new camera, and soon we'll be Full 4K all the time ;)

Thanks Gary - I was kinda scrambling, thinking about how much room I had to work with, and also explain what was going through my mind, while figuring it out quickly. At the end of the day, the approach was way better than expected. KEY POINT - Keep your nose pointed DOWN HILL....it's HARD. Rudders make this possible. If I would have turned flat, she would have 100% stalled on base leg, and she would have been in 3-4 pieces. Seems counter intuitive, but just like a real plane, you gotta sometime FORCE it to keep flying when it wants to relax into a stall. I was also somewhat lucky too, don't forget ;) Thanks for watching and learning with me ;) A good pilots always learning!

For sure! Wish my decals weren't lifting on the corners...but beyond that absolutely amazing!

100% Wish I wouldn't have been so excited and got a greasy landing in ;)

I am. She is good!

Thanks DeucesWild!

This plane is awesome, BUT make sure you get some HIGH C packs...possibly SMC since she is a battery chewer - some TWINS are just like that, btw

@@BrianPhillipsRC Can you configure it with 2 smaller batteries? Or would that be too heavy?

@@BrianPhillipsRC I run two 2200 3s packs in series in my smaller 6s jets. So I can configure the CG easier.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Oherwise I run 5000 6S 50C packs. In all 70mm 80mm and 6000 in my 90mm

Thanks - She is good, and only 80mph - LOL - She's done a lot faster too....like 140+ MPH ...and I always try to get so close, so it's even harder! I don't know how she does it!!!

LOL - Nice...Great minds think alike ;)

Thanks, and she sure is!

Good call, this plane is a keeper! She might be a bit of a battery eater, FYI, so get as high a C pack as you can afford.

Bad choices for a beginner. You really need to start on something a LOT easier or, I fear you'll continue in this direction We want you to keep at it... Check out our "Beginner Planes" - YES, there's an EDF jet in there, but I wouldn't even start there if you can resist. Get something slower, and easier, and you'll be 3rd or 4th plane territory for what you're looking to fly - TRUST ME - been there, done that. Good luck!

Thanks, glad you see us in your feed too - Sounds like another you're soon to be addict ;)

SWEET! You should, then even if you never fly it, it would still be sweet next to your plastic model!!!

Thanks! It can be hard, but for smaller aircraft, it's nothing too difficult...where it gets hard is when I'm landing a plane that needs SPEED to keep flying into a proper glide slope, then it's very hard to time my base leg properly.

Thanks Johnny - Gotta love a dead stick landing cuz you just LOVE to fly her sooo much ;)

NICE! Thanks ;) This F-15 is a batter chewer, fyi...so if I can figure out how to avoid this aspect, I'll be flying it a LOT more ;)

Thanks! Glad you're here with us!

@@BrianPhillipsRC looks like a real jet@ different angles...

Yeah! I was pretty lucky to get her down in one piece....my brain was running overtime trying to make "an out" and I was super limited, but got her done ;)

Our pleasure!

Thanks ;)

yes!

Thanks jos99! Happy New Year to you as well

Things are going well. Thanks Chris! Great plane, get a HIGH C pack and you'll LOVE it ;)

Thanks Chris! We appreciate you being a long time supporter!

Sweet! Very cool ;)

Thanks Erric! I was pretty lucky to have JUST enough energy to get her down in ALMOST one piece ;)

Thanks, you too! Glad you're here with us!

thanks Keith!

Thanks for the positive feedback Lou! We're so glad you're here with us, and your kind words are noticed - Thanks!!!

Yeah, in fact, we were driving home today and had an Eagle eating some roadkill, and jumped up in front of the family car, and tried to take it's lunch (a dog or some such HUGE think with it), but it failed and dropped the meat on the shoulder...the wingspan was easily as wide as the lane of traffic, and out kids were dumbfounded. I've had this happen to me 3-4 times, and it is a cool experience! As for the baled eagles in and around our trees. I can't wait to investigate in flight with PPG this spring, but I don't want the birds to get too curious...that could be REALLY SCARY!

@@BrianPhillipsRC wow that's very neat to see driving I mostly just have hawks fly with me or try to take away my micros haha but that ppg thats gonna be sweet

Happy new year! Thanks

Thanks a lot! I need to revisit this F-15 when the weather is great soon. I want a beautiful greasy landing to share (I'd have to get one first ) LOL ;)

Thanks Nick!

@@BrianPhillipsRC Watching this twice I have to commend you on it. Professional, supremely informative, brilliantly concise, excellent filming, and equally inspiring not to mention entertaining; I haven't flow for over a decade but I'm going to stretch my wings again and pull my old F15 out of the hanger for some practice and then perhaps treat myself to this model, to make life fun again.

Good choice! Agreed ;)

We will! Thanks Alex ;)

LOL What guts?

Thanks, Happy New Years to you too!

Thanks Ben! Glad you're enjoying the videos ;)

Sure does!

Totally!

Thanks! Megan does a wonderful job of capturing this action! Gotta love a good dead stick landing ;)

thanks!

I think it does.

Thanks, you too ;)

Yes, EXACTLY! This twin 64mm leaves almost nothing to be desired, compared to the good flying, but basic Horizon Hobby F15

Thanks Chris! Glad you're here with us!

@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks Brian, I like your videos, you always thoroughly cover everything about a model with build and including operation, keep up the good work

Thanks & Welcome aboard!

Awesome! Good call!

@@BrianPhillipsRC so you have approximately 4 minutes per flight on battery pack. So to get longer flight time additional batteries will be need at purchase. Or purchase different batteries to get longer flight time correct.

YES IT IS!

Thanks 800 red!

Yes! Me too...wish they would have been on the runway ;) LOL!!!!

Happy new year! Thanks ;)

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Love the sound of a twin EDF!!!

I was having fun then, as I am now. 7 years ago we had two less kids and less career pressures, and less responsibilities in general, so life was "simpler but not better. I think people assume running like a maniac is a bad thing, but this is how I'm geared. The waiting is my least favorite part of life. Salesman, I've always been, we just didn't have anything we were selling then...now we're selling what we were buying, and what we would be buying if we weren't selling...so basically, we worked our asses off, and did what we wanted, and now we are the benefactors of some harvest from those early, less productive days on RU-vid. Maybe someday you will have a better understanding of what I'm saying, but if not, remember that ignorance is bliss.

I get it.. As a General Contractor of over 40yrs I can respect what your saying regarding working up to are goals in life and if that is yours God bless ya.. Thanks for sharing what you do makes for great entertainment. 👍

Thanks so much! We're glad you're getting some good out of these reviews, and so glad you're finding help making your purchase decisions. That's one of the big things we want to help with.

I was thinking about you on this bird ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC will have one coming very soon...

Only Mayday if you didn't mean to land in the grass.... So, yeah, Mayday - LOL

Thanks David ;)

I agree!

Thanks!

AWESOME! I'm happy you appreciate our commentary ;)

Do it ;)

Sure does!

Keep at it, and keep your wife happy. The "lifestyle" is somewhat consuming, but it's also very fulfilling, if you ask me.

For sure! Thanks

We'll see ;)

This plane is great if you have the area for a jet, but what a looker!

@@BrianPhillipsRC How would you compare the power to the E-Flite A-10? That’s also a twin 64mm and uses the same battery as I recall.

Really. Maybe we'll have to check that one out?

@@BrianPhillipsRC i fly mine on 4s and a 2 blade 10 x 10

Thank you kindly

You too David ;)

Totally!!!

True, but still a bit small. Bigger would be easier

Thanks Derrick. We've showed tons about setting them up, but not 100% sure what more you're wanting to see.

Happy New Year to you too!!!

She's a trooper ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC the plane or your wife lol

I like the Oregon livery, but I'd probably prefer it grey ;)

I agree there is some room for improvement, but compared to competitive offerings, I think this F-15 is very good! Ski-ordnance is the best type ;)

Okay, but FYI, while I love this plane, and it's not SUPER hard to fly, you might want to think about a few EDF's FIRST. This is an "intermediate" plane, if you ask me. Don't want you to crash it on the maiden and get you too discouraged, but if you want to aim high, do it in a LARGE CLEAR area...nothing like my flying site, and you'll stack your odds in your favor.

@@BrianPhillipsRC I see -- it's a major step from the Carbon Cub 2. Thank you!

For sure!

Dude...I ripped my sack again - LOL The other day when we were talking, came home the next day after the winter storm...sock is ripped off - OUCH! Oh well, I'm getting some bigger wind socks from the PPG place...something like 15 foot long???? and some HUGE poles too, but not sure when they'll get here.

We're going to fix that 1080P issue...sorry...wrong setting on the camera

Sure is!

We have one of the Migs coming soon, but stock was low. Not sure if I mentioned that before or not

We are working on that. Thanks for the heads up. Megan's camera automatically diverts back to less for some stupid reason...new gear woes ;( We're going to be doing 60FPS when we film from now on, but we have some footage yet to release at the old setting.

It sure is! Thanks!
