Brand new E-Flite Habu SS build and Habu STS comparison! 

So it’s the same plane with different esc, motor, and stickers. Good to know!

just got mine cheers

Looking fwd to your maiden. The STS was way to expensive in Australia as it was RTF A$795 This SS is A$500 so almost the same price as the Eflite Viper which has retracts & flaps. I think this is a little bit beefier than my Arrows Marlin.

Nice vid . I got the sts but I change the kv and amp to an even stronger motor than the SS. I used an 1850kv motor and my habu is an speed demon 🗣🗣💯💯

They are the same plane, they modified the canopy so it can accommodate a 6s pack. I immediately noticed the pilots head is closer to the top of the canopy and knew why. Other than that its just a 6s motor/fan and Avian lite ESC swapped out as well as different landing gear. I put viper 70 retracts on my Habu STS so I didn't order the SS, Instead I ordered the fan/motor, the avian lite 6s ESC, and the battery hatch (witch will snap right on the sts) and converted my STS to a SS but with retracts. Still waiting for the esc though,its still on preorder.

Are your STS wheels the stock wheels or the "larger upgrades?" Also it looks like the STS wheels are a touch larger than the stock SS wheels...is this true? My local field is VERY bumpy, trying to decide if I should even attempt a maiden before up sizing the gear on the SS. Thanks for the video! Very helpful.

Can you do the Avian programming where you set up thrust reverse and pilot fatigue with a non-Spektrum battery?

I notice the elevator had some down trim on the sts. Did you have to do some adjustments on the elevator on the ss. I haven’t flown mine yet and am thinking about going ahead and manually trimming the elevator now.

Do the wheels seem like they would be less bouncy on the SS? I love my STS but the landings can get bouncy if there is a bump on the runway.

In the video @8:17, we compared the predicted RPM of the SS 2400Kv motor to the STS 3200Kv motor when using STS 3S/4S batteries vs SS 4S/6S batteries. Performing the calculations of RPM (NO LOAD!) = battery voltage * Kv, we found that: STS @ 3S (11.1V) = 35,520 RPM and STS @ 4S (14.8V) = 47,360 RPM. SS @ 4S (14.8V) = 35,520 RPM and SS @ 6S (22.2V) = 53,280 RPM. So theoretically, the STS on 3S should have the same thrust performance (35,520 RPM) as the SS on 4S (35,520 RPM). But the SS on 6S (53,280 RPM), should blow away the STS on 4S (47,360 RPM). These RPMs are ideal, no load values and show the relative performance differences between the SS and the STS. Once the weather improves, we'll throw them up together and check for these performance differences taking care to match up battery "C" ratings and manufacturer.

Can you do reverse thrusting with the supplied ESC?

Is it possible to run the Habu SS 70mm with a 3S 4000 mah battery?

Any fiberglass support in the wing?

Tuesday was a Great day in Ohio. Did you try to switch wings? All the did change motor. This way keep cost Down. Any Bets next Year they put Flaps on? One more way to sell more Planes
