That's some fancy flying Boy!! I remember that HKing Pommie fella Gliding the EFX at Long Reef in Sydney. Great review AV8R. Wild Dogs down here are scared of Chainsaws.
This video shows your skills very well again , with no gyro plane looks rock solid , and now you have even impressed wild life in the area you fly at , they must have been watching for awhile now ……great job !
I have the Goblin and boy does that get my adrenaline pumping. I'll have to admit that I have a SAFE Rx in it, full SAFE for launches and 60 degree limited envelope for racing. I struggle with orientation and this thing is really fast on top of that. Surprisingly the Goblin has plenty of room for the Rx and I use 4S 1400 batteries. People are amazed that the little prop hauls it around so quickly...and the sound 🤟.
Yes sir the little Goblins are very cool looking, and quick! Nothing wrong with using AS3X when you want to. I would have if there was room. Luckily it is pretty solid as is! Oh and yes...the sound of a speedster is infectious!
Fun plane. Small powerhouse speedsters are lots of fun! Interesting way of building in a launch assist mode. I'll have to try that one. I generally add a separate Flight Mode 1 - then go into sub-trim and add up elevator to that flight mode. I add an audio alert that says "Launch Mode" to help avoid any confusion. I'll give your method a try.
It's probably slightly easier to dial in a throttle to elevator mix and assign a switch, but a flight mode works as well. Anything that adds some up elevator for launch. That said your way is more consistent, with a mix too much throttle nets too much up elevator.
Not a new plane, but I'd love to see you do a review of the E-Flite V900 on 4S, 2200mAh G2 battery. I have this one and it is (for me) a booger to launch. Great flying Adam!
@@ModelAV8RChannel and Adam I told Gina you scolded me for not knowing location lol I was in camera shock not use to talking on camera you and Heidi have it down to a T😊😊😊
I have the bigger EFX Extra. Very fun plane and this one looks to be equally good (better power to weight ratio as well i imagine). Should sell extremely well. I love the sound of a screaming high kv motor with small prop!
Holy crap! That thing boogies! Good job keeping her in frame, Heidi 😊 Looked like I was watching in 2x speed. Great review. Seems to be a fun plane to zip around the field and try to peel the paint off during re-entry 😂 👍
I was able to install an AR630 upside down to the top just behind the hatch. It definitely did not need to stabilization. Although the new as3x+ with this plane might be a nice benifit. I did end up finding it nice to use the extra couple channels to set up for flapperons for shorter landings.
Yep, I knew somebody would find a way. I'm looking forward to playing with the new AS3X+. I have the RX in one of my Extreme Flight Edges updated to that so I can learn how to use the new tuning options.
I noticed this plane came in quite a bit heavier than Durafly has listed on their website. They list a flying weight of 320 grams. Adam's plane weighed in at 418 grams, with the recommended battery and no gyro. I'd sure like to see someone check the speed. Any guesses? It sure looks fast, and what a great RC paint job. Thanks Adam.
Yep I think that was a misprint. The RTF weight on the website is actually what we got for the empty weight. I don't have GPS on this one, but based on what I've seen on other speedsters I'm guessing 90 to 100mph. In my experience the small ones look a little faster than they are actually going. Perceived speed is greater. Thanks for watching!
I love the efx, just posted a video on it last week. It’s so fast, I put a 8x6 prop on it and increased the speed probably 30% from the stock prop it came with. 2200 4s 2:30 minute flight time if you’re cooking it
@TheVallyFlyersRC No, didn't delete it. Didn't see it. Sometimes YT won't post a comment with links...for instance if I try to link my email...kicks it out every time. Weird.
The coyotes remind me of the valley flyers Apollo 11 field in LA. We have homeless encampment fires everyday around the area and as soon as those police and fire sirens come around the coyotes go off
Yeah no idea when parts for that specific plane may be available. I do know they can only use so much tooling on the production lines at a time, so making parts for dozens of different planes takes a good bit of time. You could repair it. Foam can be fixed, and aftermarket props and electronics are readily available. Half my hangar are planes that have been out of production for a long time, so no parts available. I still keep them flying. Sometimes a little modeling goes a long way.
