Arrows - Husky Ultimate - 1.8m - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights 

Much respect to Brian Phillips and the camera crew. I don't think ppl realize how much work these guys put into each and everyone of these videos. Hats off to you guys!

Im a sub for all the channels you mentioned and I just wanted to say this. The RC Saylors just literally fly the plane and take the affiliate link cash and they are done, that will lead to "one and dones" all day long and is damaging the hobby. There is no instructional contents at all. They do top ten beginners planes but dont show people how to do the simple (at least it is to me now, thanks to you) things like, binding, building, repairing, radio progamming, charging the batteries, finding the CG and a whole host of other things which beginners really need. I just feel they are more interested in selling the plane than selling the hobby. I think thats the most succinct way to describe your fantastic work. You sell the hobby, the Saylors sell the plane. I feel your content is more valuable to the hobby as a whole. When I started I had had a fifteen year break from RC cars using 27MHz futaba radios and crystals. 2.4GHz and also 868MHz were alien to me. We were using NiCad batteries and brushed motors, you get the picture. I always wanted to fly aircraft but it was way out of reach then for me. You introduced me to the Volantex/Eachine P-51 and I realised that it was attainable to me. I moved onto other more hobby grade models like the UMX Timber which basically helped me to learn to fly manually. I then got the 1.5m Timber which your videos showed me how to build properly. The only thing I do differently to you is I went the OpenTX route rather than Spektrum. I'm heavily into FPV planes too (which OpenTX is almost a must for) which is different but you helped me add LED nav lights for FPV night flying (not for my benefit but for visibility by other aircraft on the whole). Where Im at now is, I have built a ZOHD Dart250G, wired it up with LEDs, a flight controller, a 4K split fpv camera, video transmitters etc, programmed it using iNav with telemetry on screen just like a jet fighter HUD and flying it long range out to 5 miles, sometimes at night (not your thing I know, but the basics started with you) A massive thanks to you and Meghan. A Paypal donation will be coming soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family too. DONT CHANGE A THING. RU-vid BE DAMNED.

Massive respect to both of you and the work you put in to helping new people. It's great that you go through everything with every plane. Keep up great work 👍

You folks are really helpful. Batteries were very foreign to me and I'm grateful that you go over this stuff with some regularity. Same with the radios. After seeing the same things in many of your videos, it's becoming easier and easier to understand. I've watched hours of your videos on planes I have no intention of ever assembling or flying, but the process can be used from model to model so the information is good! You are very good teachers. Thanks for the help.

Love the videos and can’t get enough! Watching you got me addicted to this hobby. Big thanks to the best camera lady in the biz as well!

Thank you Brian & Megan. Your talents, help and dedication are HUGE. God bless. Great video as always. Love this plane.

Brian, I love watching your videos. Iv spent hours watching your stuff. As a result my wife was privileged to see a couple thousand dollars leave our account. Not sure if your a great person, or the worst person iv ever met 🤣. Love the detail and how much knowledge of every model you share. If I'm looking for a new model, I ALWAYS look for your videos as they are the most in depth and informative. Thanks to you and your wife for taking time to do this. You guys are awesome.

The training format your channel uses is what sets it apart from the rest. I ALWAYS watch one of your videos on a particular plane I'm planning to buy. Very informative, even when its advice on gloves LOL !!!

Brian, Megan. All what you do don't go un noticed. Lot of sacrifice it takes to make what you do look so easy. Remember this. DONT FORGET TO HAVE FUN. TAKE A VACATION. I know quite a few, what some would call "influencers" -personally. Everybody has their thing. I knock no RU-vidR at all. All work hard in the RC business in their unique ways. I support all that I can when I can. The thing you mention about life being short is REAL. I lost my Mother to Cancer just before Thanksgiving this year. There are other folks I know that have had similar experiences as mine this year. Give the kids and your four legged kids a hug for me. Family is precious. Hope to meet you fine folks someday. Remember, I mentioned this before. The invitation is still there.... You are always welcome to come to Triple Tree Aero (home of Joe Nall) here in Woodruff, SC. All you need is to bring the clothes on your back. I got the planes, radio, battery, etc.... :-)

obrigado brian e Megan pela ajuda que dão a novos pilotos como eu. BOM TRABALHO

I couldn't believe my eyes when you took off the grass before hitting the concrete 🤯

First let me say I love your channel I love the long videos I think it's a crime that RU-vid tries to limit people to shorts. Secondly love the way you snuck Jennifer on camera during this taping!!

Hey there team, I came to this post out of order, I dont normally miss your productions, (Thrump voice) ' Which are truly epic '. Anyway ,who misses the squishy tyres, not me...

hey Brian& Camera Crew, to you and your family, Happy Happy New Year!!! much love &brespect always!! and thanks for all you do!!!

Really love the enthusiasm, best RC planes channel on this platform!

Hey Brian, a few days ago on facebook someone asked a question on one of the Hobby Fight groups that not many people were able to answer for him but a number of them suggested looking up you and your Videos for the answer!! So, what you are doing is getting the attention people need.

Great Vid. thanks for putting out all the great content!! This one has now got me wanting you to do a STOL day video and bring out all the BIG tire/STOL planes you have to see them side by side and maybe back to back flights of each.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! Thanks for posting. Love your vids bud. Thank you!

well done, great video and top flying, that just leaps of the ground, goes up like a home sick angel

Went with the standard vs. Ultimate and love it. Perfect for the scale flying style is like to do. Great video as always.

Thanks, it's a fun flyer... put a set of skies on my 2nd one our lake froze over 2 weeks ago.

So who else thinks he sounds like jack black? Love the videos and if the wife was okay with me buying this plane I would.

Brian, I agree on the squishy tires. You can't even find them they're all rock hard. I fly on the same dirt road I grew up on and we always deflated our bicycle tires to improve the ride. Im thinking of making a circle pattern on CAD, then drilling large holes in the tire to see if I can soften them up. There are also chemicals that will soften foam, but that's just experimenting.

AWESOME plane and another great video Brian and camera crew ! Man that would be a great plane for areo-towing . :}

This thing is BEAUTIFUL

This thing is crazy...it kind of makes me wish I would got this instead of the bigfoot. Thanks as always for all you do Brian!!

Thankyou so much this is incredibly helpful

Another great review Brian, I have the 4s version. It suits me down to the ground as I share my Batteries with my Turbo Timber, Cherokee and Maule. Oh!.... Your right about the Tyres, it need Dubro. Happy new year to you and your Family 🙂

Hey Brian, I love the length and detail in your videos, thanks for taking the time to produce them. Would you consider a video fitting an AR637 to a Husky and see how the AS3X improves flying in windy conditions?

I have the galaxy s22 ultra. It's an amazing phone. Camera is exceptionally awesome.. love the vids.. Camera Crew yoyr doing a great job.. 👍

Beautiful plane Brian! Keep up the great vids! You should also do more vids with the carbon z cub.

Thanks for the vidio Team Phillips. After 30 years getting back into the hobby. You guys have been great helping me re understand all the changes. I was going to buy a turbo timber evolution till I saw this. I have a husky pup running around the house so I have to get this one. One question. Can I run 4000 6s or do I have to stay with 3200. Thanks for the videos

I have the original Husky and am impressed with performance on 4S. Dubros would be nice in 4.5 to 5" size. Appreciate all the time you put in. I get it how difficult it must be with work and hobby competing...oh, and parenthood. You are filling a necessary gap for these companies, one they should be filling quite frankly. People need to see the details to make a good decision. If I could offer any advice to you at all, it would be that suggesting a taildragger as a first plane really should happen only with understanding take off roll dynamics prior to first flight. Keep up the good work. Now if Northern Illinois weather would get out of this long funk!

That is a gorgeous plane look at that landing gear I wish I would had started with that one looks so durable 👨🏻‍✈️🇺🇸👍

Flags are good, on stationary flags the blue field of stars always faces to the left as you face it. Only appears backward because of the direction of the plane.

Good work a nice flyer, happy new year. :-)

Amazing plane! I am hoping to get one soon!

I'm still using lemonRx in any non-eflite plane. you turned me on to those. Nice flap work!

This is so nice (the airplane)

I love that plane with all of my heart ❤️ I have 2 of them. You got to try the Dubro tires on that bird WoW it’s awesome

I just bought emcotec 8way wing connector. Came in a Hacker branded bag. The corners of the plug need to be shaved off with a Dremel, but it's not a dramatic amount, maybe 1mm and it's turned a 6 plug connection with label ready and fiddling with small cables into a 2 plug exercise without faff.

great video and a great plane,I have the standard and love it,thanks to Dan's wife for making this happen,Go Hobby Zone(thanks Dan for coming on-board with Team Phillips

nice plane :) greetings from germany

The reason you don't see many black foam on planes is because the suns heat destroys the foam it by bumping the surfaces. Did it to one of mine wherever there was that flat black paint.

We love squishy tires!

Excellent 😍

Brian, I was watching when you said, you did not know where to find the ball link pliers. Thay can be found at most of tour hobby links. Idea for you, to use the ball link pliers to remove a link, loosen the screw till the pliers fit between the arm and the link, put the big end in and the nub on the screw and squeeze.

I'd tell people who consider buying the plain old 4S version, the Ultimate has significant upgrades that fix many of the weaknesses on that plane, not just power. The additional $60 gets you a far better plane, and is well worth it. Vector gyro, 6S capable, higher quality hinges, bigger metal servos, and overall better build quality. You will not be disappointed with the Ultimate.

Very much appreciate the team effort on explanations and camera shots. The instructions are lame regarding the light plug. Thanks for explaining. The wing mounting stinks, should be 1/4 Turn locking studs like Draco with longer cables like you mentioned. No ones going to remove these wings every trip to the field. Thank you so much for this video.

I think we need to get the "ground crew" in on the sticks!

Super

I'll just revisit your video.

I realy like all you'r video's!

Wow, like a Ferrari Bush Plane!

Nice video Brian and camera crew ! whish one you prefer ,the husky or the e flite carbon z cub Brian ? :)

Great video Brian, I just got a carbon cub ss for Christmas from my big sister, she rules. Question have you put lights on any of your cubs? If so do you have any recommendations of where to buy them? Thanks for your videos, your my dealer lol. I'm so hooked lol

Hey Brian, splendid video, and nice plane. My question to you is if you had the Eflite Carbon Cub, would this plane be much different? I am debating purchasing the Husky since it appears to fly so like the Cub.

I do the tapey on the hood thing. But I stick the inside instead of the outside of the hood.

Hello Brian, love the videos. I am not sure where the lights connect into. I got sent a y cable out for the gear. Does it connect into the vector stabilisation. Thank you

Aren't the numatic Tires way heavier compared to the foam . Is the weight difference worth ground characteristics ? Just wondering your opinion on that

I put 5” air filled Dubros on mine.

Hello Brian, I am new to RC and have learned alot from your videos and would like to take the time to say Thank you. I have a question regarding your links. Santa (my wife) bought the NX8 and did not use the link as I had asked. I will be purchasing more items and noticed that it did not show that it was from your kink and have heard that it should? Also if the item is on sale do you still get the commission?

Hey! So I ordered the regular red husky, and I am wondering what battery to get for it. TheRcSaylors used a 2200mah 4s 14.8v battery. Is that the biggest that I should get for it, or can I get a bigger one?

Nice reviews you Do on the RC Planes. Any reason you don’t test any HobbyKing Yak 11 ? Are you under contract with Spektrum or HH ?

I should have got Vector for my Bigfoot that I have crashed three times. I on the flip side I purchased Real Flight 9.5S. I like Arrow...landing gear can take a beating....thanks Brian and your SPOUSAL UNIT. Just kidding Mrs. Phillips...just kidding. Ya'll be safe

Do you have a video on how you store your plane collection

Seems the only Tundra Stol Plane that comes with Great Huge Soft n Light Wheels is the X-FLY Tasman

So something I was curious on these bigger planes is if can get by without installing the wing struts in order for easy assemble and disassemble for transporting in car trunk? Like can you just leave the wing struts off in general and be fine for flying? Looking to get a bigger plane that can break down and setup quickly

Tune into Tokyo!

Hey Brian you and your wife does a great job I've been into RC's for a long time flying planes and I look to you cuz I have a spectrum nx10 and you help me set mine up all the time and you are great at your job just want to ask I got a 1800 mm husky ultimate what is the biggest 6s battery you would put in it the mAh & c rating

👍 Great review and flight session. I had the standard edition, yes, it comes with support for 4S, and I wish to upgrade to 6S, would you able to recommend the Motor, ESC and Prop specifications ? Yeah, by the way, I did modified mine with the Dynam's planes soft squishy tyres ☺️

I put 4.5" DuBro inflatables on mine almost immediately. What size tires are on yours stock? My Special Edition was 4.5" and I thought yours looked much smaller. Fantastic plane, so much power. If someone wants a big model that has all the STOL capabilities, this is a great choice. You didnt show the Rudder Authority this plane has, its hilarious. It will do 360 degree spins inside its own length. The wheel pants are another weak point, they often snap off on landings.

Mr Brian have you ever thought of having a top 10 planes for the year 2021 that we could choose from Thank you from Ohio.

does it have floats to brian?

Looks like my area are you in the northeast? Anyway great video I may just build this one !

👍

Hey Brian, what were the actual wind speeds you were flying in there?

That is a whole lot of Plane for the Money

Question: Not to change the subject but you have dealt with many sailplanes and I know how you like to fly them. In your opinion which sailplane would be the best in ease of construction and best in "thermaling"

Only issue is this and the special edition model it replaced come with rock hard tires! I added some dubro pneumatic tires to mine to fix it.

I have just purchased a 1800 husky the first model pnp. I have a receiver that came out of the turbo timber 1.5 bnf. Do you think I'd be able to install it in the husky without doing any reprogramming still waiting on a cable to be able to do it that way

Needs a wider wheelbase but a excellent plane

Had to readjust my aileron horns on the carbon cub. The neutral position was ailerons all the way down..

I would like to use my DX9 to fly my umx twin otter could you help with setup 0:00

Brian do you have the e"flite 2000 mm T=28 I would like to see you fly it ?

How do I assign Vector to a switch on my DX6 I have Bigfoot pnp and bought Vector module separate. My AR620 was already binded up with plane. Installed Vector. How do I assign vector to a switch. I tried assigning Gear channel to switch B. Gear channel is where vector is plugged in. Appreciate any help you can give me. I am trying to learn on my own but stuck, thanks.

Do you think that simulator you reviewed is good for practice? It kind of seems the same.

Arrows Battery? Better than the Spektrum Batteries you're always seeing you use.. ?

I don't understand why you don't use a transmitter with higher channel number I use a 16 channel radio myself and after watching you struggle with the flaps it would have been so much easier running the servo separate just to set it up through the radio and everything would have been perfectly trim and proper with a simple radio set up. I use a radio master t16s and I love it, (shameless plug)..

Hey Brian, Make Some Skies For It & Fly It Off The Snow! 😁 PS You L@@K Better With Longer Hair, Stop The Sides Buzz! 🤣

Why do you never calibrate the ESC?

Carbon z cub all the way lol

I thought you have flown this one before?

all the new Horizon planes have rock hard tires also. maybe they will read this and fix it

👍🏽

1st!

Pick 1 the Husky or the Carbon Z???s

What is the crazy mission?

Love the plane but I'm going to get the Carbon-a Cessna 150T instead.

husky ultimate and carbon z cub mix. LOL
