E-flite - Commander mPd - 1.4m - Revisit 

Happy Easter to you too your a fighter 🙏

Happy Easter.. I Enjoyed your story Your inspiration will be rewarded.

😊

Thanks! Love this plane too. I heard one other guy who pulled the pants off and swapped on 3" wheels, canted the gear forward and really helped with nose overs on grass ops too.

JD, glad you mentioned this. I want this plane so bad, but held off buying it because of the small wheels and pants on my grass field. I just couldn’t justify noseing over on every landing at $5 a prop. How are the modifications working for you ? Thanks

10000%

bprc.me/Commander - yep, she's a keeper!!! Hope you get one!

That's a great idea on the landing gear. I know these wheel pants can be a real pain on grass ops, but for me, I just need to get my field flattened out - it's like landing on the moon! Did you pull off the aluminum and bend it forward in a vice, or just replace it with something canted forward a bit more?

@@BrianPhillipsRC Good question. I hope Patrick answers you. As I mentioned before, the wheels and pants are the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on this beautiful plane. Hoping to find a work around.

Very nice!!!! bprc.me/Commander - Love this plane!

My dream is to be able to enjoy my hobbies from my own yard , I need to move!

Lose the pants and slap a pair of FMS PA18 1.3m wheels and tires on her. You can land that sucker on a gravel road, greasy like a Dennys Grand Slam 👍

Bummer! Sorry you lost it, what a great plane! Hope you decide to get another soon ;) bprc.me/Commander

Thanks for the Link.. Yep I'm on it. Happy easter Brother

That surely sucks! What’s “Dang Brown out”?

A brown out is a term used when you lose reception from your radio to your receiver.

@@HighDesertFlyers Ouch ! Thank you. I quest I just thought that didn’t happen anymore with today’s advanced electronics.

We have a ton of dogwoods here on our property and LOVE them! Soon, I'll too be crying with allergies - LOL

@@BrianPhillipsRC Day quill and night quill help with even the pine pollen to. I can breathe again!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!!

Dollar general liquid gells,a great deal that works plus 48 packs are a family deal that every one can afford!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!!

Oh yeah, get her flying!

@@BrianPhillipsRC I need a kick up the butt Brian. I got diagnosed with Parkinsons about 2 years ago, all my get up go, got up and went :) I did get my radio out yesterday though and updated everything,

She gets plenty of tips - LOL - but I get more ;)

Best tip she ever got- "Duck!" 😂

Did you read about the bind plug in the manual?

Thanks, but you can get better than me. It's probably easier than you think...if you fly on a simulator every night for 15 minutes, I bet you'd pass me up in a year. It's crazy how much about this sport comes down to practice. P.S. I know what you're saying about the NX10 vs NX8 vs NX7e - 7e is gonna get you a LONG way, but if you think about the difference in price, about $250 to the 10...you'll be spreading that cost over many planes, in the long run. Maybe let say 20 planes, if we're being conservative, or about $27.50 per plane cost basis...it's not nothing, but it becomes a rounding error over time, and if you plan to be in this hobby for a while, you will NEVER look back at a Tx purchase and think...I wish I had saved some cash on that - I promise, really speaking from experience on this detail. NOW, let's do the NASTY math that Spektrum doesn't want you to do... Let's say instead, same 20 planes, you get the NX7e for $300 (ish) for 10 planes, you're $30 per plane, then you get the NX10, since you NEED the channels in 1 year - guess what, now the nominal cost of the Tx becomes $55 for the second 10 planes in a similar circumstance. See what I'm talking about??? This math is the "selling point" they don't want us to talk about. Of course they want you to get the NX7e...you'll end up with the NX10 or maybe even the IX20 at some point, but between friends, you don't want to chase good money after bad. If you're IN it...get what you need. If you're still QUESTIONABLE, NX7e is fine... This is good advice. bprc.me/Tx (anything in the lineup) vs bprc.me/NX10 (all you're gonna need for YEARS) vs bprc.me/NX7e (this will get you by for a long time too, but you will eventually "need" more channels)

@@BrianPhillipsRC Man thanks very much for explaining it to where I understand more. Cry once buy once lol. That 10 looks soooo sweet too. Happy flying brother.

@@BrianPhillipsRC much appreciated man. Thanks

This is the only part I can see that has any nose wheel assembly with it... shorturl.at/wFJK6

I wonder why!??!!?! What a great plane!

I guess I don't think it's especially loud, but maybe it's just the aggressive pitch of the prop?

If it's a RTF with DSMX, DSM2 - Spektrum Rx, YES...but if it's some other Rx, then you would need to swap out the Rx or multipurpose brick rx

@@BrianPhillipsRC Sweet! Thanks for the reply. Love the channel!

As long as it has the latest firmware yup

@@Tanker831 the controller or plane. The controller has latest version updated on it

The Dx6e . But forward programming won’t show up unless you’re connected to the plane . And as long as the plane is equipped with an avian esc . You should be good to go

@@Tanker831 it's the new commander 1.4m mpd. I'll have to just look when I get home. Thanks

To all their own. Freewing does seem like a great lineup! We just kinda wish MotionRC would stop giving us the middle finger! It's gotten very old after almost a decade. We'd LOVE to work with Freewing and Flightline products! Then we could use this as additional basis for comparison, and really run with it, but MotionRC is the most closed fisted company we've ever considered and/or tried working with. To be clear, I was a customer of MotionRC, and never remember having a bad experience personally, but admittedly, this was quite a long time ago. I can say we've heard tons of terrible things over the years...much of which we can't even discuss due to various gag orders and threats of defamation suits against their "enemies" (aka someone who had a "falling out" with them). They are NOT the company you think they are...and that's NOT to say anything bad about Freewing, Flightline, or any of the other brands they carry...this is just a MotionRC issue. I wish I could report differently, but to date, our entire experience aside from the two planes we got years ago, has been bad, worse, or being the recipients of "FU" from them to us, even though we've gone to bat for them for such a long time and just didn't talk about these things...but over time, these "stories" have gotten much more believable. It's a real bummer too, but what can we do? I don't want you to think I'm trying to attack YOU in any way for buying a good product from a company that treats you well, if that's what you have going on, but what I do want to do is help you understand they're not the squeaky clean company of "do-gooders" that they pretend to be. They are WAY worse than any other brand we've worked with, and we've worked with loads of them. P.S. I think Wes is a great, hard working guy, and my complaints generically are against the leadership at MotionRC - they have HIS hands tied, and will likely eventually screw him and his family too, if it works out like it's worked out for every other person who's worked with MotionRC. Hope this helps, but I realize it may fall on deaf ears, if you love Freewing, as you mentioned you do - remember, they are a DISTRIBUTOR, they aren't the owners, or operators of Freewing...they just have exclusive distribution rights here.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Good post Brian I always respect your opinion and watch all your videos
