What a joy to watch! The gliding half an inch off the ground (15:45) and so stable - that was a magic moment! 🪄😁 Great presentation as always, Adam and Heidi!
Hello Heidi and Adam, very nice display of the Habu SS capabilities. The fact that with no flaps servos and gear remove the wing loading is light. Your video showing how much you were enjoying the aircraft. Cheers!
I had this bird until I crashed it in low light conditions (lost orientation). Really glides and great intro to EDFs. Retracts would have made it perfect. I ran it on 6s 4000 at one point. Did make it heavy and need a lot of runway for glide path approach (use reverse thrust is essential to stop it once on the ground). Flaps would have been preferable. All in all it’s a really good jet but absence of landing gear, flaps and LEDs meant I felt like the FMS Viper 70 is better VFM
I get why a lot of folks want all the bells and whistles, but the absence of them on this one is exactly the point of it. Its much less expensive, has less to "break" on bad landings, and less to manage for a more timid first time EDF pilot...yet plenty of capability to teach them more advanced aerobatics later. There are plenty full featured, more expensive EDF's that could make a good first one for more confident pilots with a bigger budget.
Looks really nice with manners and ability. Even though I mainly use Crossfire and ELRS on my better models, if I was buying this, I'd absolutely use the BNF because that nonchalant hand launch was epic! I'd never be flying it gear on so the hand launch aspect is vital to me. My only EDF atm is a HK Stinger 64 which tries to kill itself on hand launches but looks stupid and rolls forever on its gear. I almost never fly it and any replacement has to be significantly better.
This will probably be on my short list, when I get the EDF bug. But, if wearing a "sexy hat", like yours, is a requirement for flying EDF's, I might just stick with the 1.2m Eflite warbirds for a little bit longer. No offense 😊 👍
Al not everybody can rock a sexy hat like that. I'm special...at least that is what my mamma said. She was kinda sarcastic though...so she may have been kidding.
@@ModelAV8RChannel You and I had similar Mommas, then 😂 BTW- Heidi deserves another Atta-gurl for keeping this one in frame and in focus- not to mention what she puts up with from the likes of you 👍
Hi Adam I started with the 50mm habu and moved to the 70mm had many flights on it fun edf, Did you pay Heidi extra for chasing that jet around lol😊 good video you can't go wrong with this edf 😀👍👍👍👍
Trying to decide between the 50 and the 70 mm. Ill probably be hand launching more often than not. I like the price of the 50 and the flight time of the 70. I am no expert pilot. Suggestions?
Hey Adam, this isn't really about this plane but I remember watching your videos and you talk about a way to bind in safe mode that you can get more deflection.. at least I'm pretty sure it was on your channel that I saw it. I was trying to look for a way to message you or email you but I couldn't find one
Hey John, if you look in the "about" section of our YT channel you can get the email there. I'd link it here, but every time I try to YT won't allow the comment?? So anyway, you get more deflection in AS3X mode. SAFE actually limits the deflection. You should be able to see if you hold full up elevator and flip between the two you'll get more in AS3X mode.
