Here is my full review of the E-flite EC-1500 twin 1.5m at last! (bit.ly/EflEC1500) I've really had a blast with this one and it's a great flying airplane. Whether you just want to cruise and drop stuff out of the cargo door, or hit up some high performance aerobatics, it'll do both! Assembly is quick and easy and provides a nice looking airframe in faux Coast Guard colors, but I couldn't help but turn it into a C-27 Spartan ( • Quick Foam Warbird Pai... ) which really transformed the airplane completely. One thing to note, when installing the prop collets, be sure to back them off of the motor can slightly when tightening so they synch down fully. If you slide them on all the way, they will bottom out on the motor can and may not full tighten. My full review writeup with CG, control throw and Dx file is available at thercgeek.com/EC1500

Love that you used the Mansfield scheme - I used to see this guy flying over I-71 everytime I went from Cleveland to Columbus.

@garyjohnson2022 3 года назад

Love your videos and appreciate the work you do to make your downloads available. I have just added this model to my hangar and I have to say it is a beauty just the way it comes out of the box and I am anxious to get it out for it's maiden however I do have to take issue with the manual. Sadly this has become the norm for all model manuals, there's way too much critical info missing for example I only know the elevator servo is inside the tail because you said so in the video and looking inside the fuselage with the cargo hatch open I can see servo leads in the overhead but where the heck is it and what happens if it fails? Any thoughts on this? Thanks

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

That is a good question. I’ve not actually tried to locate that servo come think of it. I’m not sure where the access is. Is it at the base of the dorsal?

@garyjohnson2022 3 года назад

@@Thercgeek Thanks for the reply. I have located the servo I believe. There is a plastic access cover (same as on the nacelles) just forward of the Vert Stabilizer. I did not see it when I mounted the Vert Stab but under the front is a control rod running back and connecting to the elevator control tabs and at the front a servo control horn is partially visible.

@themisto57 3 года назад

Cool plane. I noticed it said Mansfield on the tail. I see c130 planes fly around us out of Mansfield Lahm Airport in Ohio all the time. This rc reminds me of those.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Cool! The C-27 this was modeled after operated out of there too.

@stevegubala9429 3 года назад

Great plane love the color , what receiver did you use

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

This was the bnf, so it’s the receiver that’s included.

@halroofner4069 3 года назад

Great video Chris! Where did you find the accuthrow to set up the surfaces? I cannot find one. Love the paint job!

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Thanks! I’ve had that accuthrow meter for ages actually. It’s been pretty handy.

@wun1gee 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek No idea! He just said it was too big and was taking up too much space. Haha. It's my 2nd EC-1500. The first one never came out of the box before I sold it and I'd been regretting it ever since.

@nathangarciamuro 2 года назад

Hello. I own a Carbon Cub S (version 2) without the GPS and I have flown it a few times. I was thinking of a second airplane to introduce myself in the 4S and NX8 transmitter world. As you can imagine I am not an expert flying RX planes, on the contrary I am a newbie on this. Would you recommend the EC-1500 as a second plane or would you provide another type of advice? Thanks a lot for the help.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

If you’re proficient with the carbon cub s I think you’ll do fine with the ec1500. I’d recommend maybe having a club mate help out on the first flight or two just in case. It’s a fun airplane and the drop door is pretty fun.

@martyevanson8661 Год назад

I got new fuselage for my coastguard plane but one half of the plane works

@mrvoyagerm 3 года назад

It is begging for softer tires and/or some kind of suspension. Fantastic job recreating the Spartan. Where did you get the graphics, windows etc.?

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Thanks! Agreed on the tires, haha! The markings I made myself, the window graphics came from Callie-graphics.

@Vested_Investor 3 года назад

Are those props as quiet as they seemed to sound in the video? Sounded like that at ~ 40% throttle and 390' you couldn't hear it in the middle of the desert? Love the AF paint scheme.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Yeah, they are really that quiet. You can’t really hear it at all with other birds in the air at the same time.

What flight time are you getting with that size 4S? I just bought my own BNF EC1500!!

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

I fly for over 5 minutes and have lots of charge to spare.

@jd7089 2 года назад

Ive always wanted to get into Rc Airplanes. Are they easy to fly?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Learning to fly rc takes practice, but is a fun and rewarding hobby. I’d recommend seeking out a local rc club near you and reaching out to them. They usually have club trainers and instructors who can give you an introduction to it all and help you get start on the right foot.

@aerospacematt9147 2 года назад

I just got one from a hobby store. I have a 3300mAh 4s 80c. Will that work in this model?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Yeah, it should work just fine. Just ensure cg is in the right place.

@dalezesiger9873 Год назад

I finally found a guy selling one of these. I drove a LONG way to pick it up. I am hoping for the best. Anyway, how in the world did you pull off such a gorgeous paint job and find all the decals, window panels etc? Your planes looks beautiful - I am so jealous! Awesome job.

@dalezesiger9873 Год назад

Chris, do you by chance have a video or anything available that could help a klutz like me replicate you paint scheme? Thanks!

@dalezesiger9873 Год назад

Sorry! Nevermind, I found you have a video already. Happy flying

@Thercgeek Год назад

Glad you found it! I made my own decals for it and used Callie graphics for the windows.

@jimvalim1567 3 года назад

What's that tool called that you're using to make the measurements on the control surfaces? Can you provide a link on where to buy it?

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

It’s called an accuthrow meter and unfortunately, it’s no longer made. 😕

@jimvalim1567 3 года назад

@@Thercgeek Is there another alternative for getting the measurements on the throws?

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

I’m not certain. Simplest thing is to use a ruler. You can also make marks on a post it not and use that also by sticking it where you need on the airplane to take measurements.

@kristamercedes3723 3 года назад

Ok, I'm getting one, now just add a sound kit and should be good and landing gear up and down👍

EPO foam is extremely resilient to solvents, so you can use most any type of paint medium on it.

Sir I have 64 mm 12 blades EDF 3500 kV can its thrust is enough to fly jet with complete parts total weight 1kg I have 3s lipo battery can jet fly well

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Unfortunately, I don’t have a good sense of the 64mm fans, so it’s hard for me to say. If you can run 4s, you’ll probably be better off.

@melvinriverarcjet6544 3 года назад

Mehmood khan that 3500kv is for 4s set up i believe is from freewing 64mm f22 on 4s version.almost same kv on fms f15 64mm running on 4s.
