Eflite - P-51D June Nite & NX6 Transmitter - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Flights 

I'm so excited for you Matthew! I completely get it, and you're nerves are what make this hobby SO REAL! You will feel so alive when you fly these things, and if you don't, might want to check your pulse ;) AWESOME! Good work, and keep it up...get a spare prop if you think you're gonna keep nosing over. They're not too bad, but you WANT ONE...Also, if you break off a blade, and you're left with 3...just break off one more and you can make it fly some more ;) Two opposing blades will actually fly great still, provided it's balanced close to even...we've done it a million times. Good luck... P.s. If you want to order parts, you can follow the link in the video description, but just click on the plane and then scroll down and you'll see "REPLACEMENT PARTS" or you can follow the "master links...(see below) and then just search like any other time you visit the site. This will help support us, as you have done in the past - THANK YOU!!! P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI Horizon Hobby bit.ly/38ZFade Amazon amzn.to/2BGynZt Seriously, good for you. Keep flying, but don't kill the plane. Don't be afraid to land in the grass, but you'll have to fix stuff...if you need too, put the gear UP and belly land it SLOOOOOOW ;)

i fly the P51-D i have both the EFLITE P51-D 1.5 AND THE FMS P51-D RED tail 1.7MM as for the nose overs i never use the flaps to take off always use flaps up and go into the power real slow power into the plane and hold that right rudder on landing use flaps to slow it down but at the last second before the wheels hit the ground i flaps up to avid the nose over i fly off grass so i never use flaps on take off only to slow the plane down before touchdown

I can relate! I just did my maiden yesterday. It was my first hobby grade rc plane flight. I was shaking. 😂. Had a couple nose overs, but was a great flight on safe as well. Will turn off safe on my next flight. I'm feeling confident, or stupid, only time will tell. 😂

So great to hear! Thanks Mark!

Thanks David! Good luck. Great plane, You will LOVE IT!

Thank you for stopping by P Rigley! We're glad we could help you out! The NX6 is way better than I expected ;)

I recognize your name Tim - but if you ever see me in person, remember, I don't know what you look like ;) LOL It's happened a few times, and it's weird for me - LOL!

Glad to help! There's a lot to learn, and I learn new stuff all the time, so just trying to share what I've picked up.

Ill be honest, no one gives a detailed review like you, thats why so many like your style

So glad to hear you say this. Some love the long videos, and some hate them ;) I guess I will stick with the long videos since they're having the positive impact we want to make in the RC community! Thanks RADIO FLYER!

100% agree. Oral checklist. 1 in 100 times camera crew calls out something the pilot forgot to do proving that its not all for show. All it takes is one slip and you need 40 stitches in your ankle, or worse. We all know when youre flying, you are likely not flying while asleep and thoughts and calculations, and anticipations are being made. Its great to hear the brain dump during flight....and even in the shop during builds, upgrades and repairs. keep it up! The plane, and the good work.

@@BrianPhillipsRC oh definitely don’t shorten your vids. You are my go to channel not only for the entertainment, but what I really love are the radio setup portion. Since this Covid hit no one in my area is taking in new people in to their flying clubs, so I’m on my own and never fly rc before, but between RealFlight 9.5 from Horizon Hobby and your videos I actually trained myself to fly my Turbo Timber, and you have taught me to program my Spektrum radio(with your videos). Did I mention I’m 57 years old too? So yes, it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks 😆. Thanks again for your excellent videos, don’t stop, and don’t shorten. Please.

You're one of the main reasons we keep doing this. So glad you're getting hooked!!!! As for the DXS - If you're getting hooked, I need to tell you about the "Dark side" of RC - now you need an expensive transmitter ;) If you KNOW you're hooked, which it sounds like you are - you might want to consider getting the NX8 or NX10 now, and then you'll be set from some time to come. I don't want to mislead you in any way, but at the end of the day, the RTF's are going to set you up with more items you will end up "discarding" as you advance through the ranks, whereas, if you buy BNF you can save a lot of cash through your first few planes. You might even find that this "investment" (terrible choice of words - this is a hobby, NOT an investment...but you GET it) will pay you back in cost difference between the RTF's planes you might otherwise get and same BNF planes you get instead. Just run the numbers, and remember that you'll have a LOT better transmitter that you will NEVER regret buying. I've had a number of high dollar transmitters (talking about what I BOUGHT...not for review), and I've never regretted any of them. Tx bit.ly/3f4JhZl - I suggest you seriously consider the NX8 - it is VERY good...you don't want to get the one with the reciever (Seems it would be a good deal if you were getting an AS3X/SAFE equipped rx...but this one is not)

....oh, but YEAH, you can technically use DXS...but I wouldn't - you'll need flaps and SAFE select controls, and EXPO to make her fly the way I share. Good luck! Keep at it!!!

Glad you get it ;) Thanks G Bro!

Awesome Matthew! So glad you are doing that. I'm so excited for you!

You're welcome! We're so glad that our audience keeps coming back!!! Camera crew is a blessing to all of us - she's great!!!

@@BrianPhillipsRC Your are sure one blessed man. I can't even get my better half to come watch me fly in our own back yard. Love your reviews makes a big grin on my face.

We try our best. Love these companies we work with, but we work for YOU guy ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC Hey Brian, I have a T28 on backorder, and likely won’t get one anytime soon, but I’m thinking about canceling,and just picking this up instead. Do you think Horizon will get enough to fill out their back order? Or should I just pick this up instead,and get a Trojan later?

Thank you too!

That's exactly why I wanted to show these details. I hope I hit the important details for you. I know Horizon Hobby would want me to to cover a bunch of stuff that's not important to me, but I know what I care about, and many others are in the same boat. This new lineup is going to be a GREAT upgrade when you're ready, but to be totally honest, I'm kind waiting for the NX10 or IX20 for a full on changeover ;) Also, as for the 3+ hours of video. It's very appreciated, hearing your positive remarks. I know some will skip a lot of the video, and that's cool too. We don't really expect everyone to want to spend that long on the whole video, but I have a hard time figuring out what parts would be okay to dump??? We're just glad a few are getting something out of it. P.S. If you get a good nap, that's also just fine my be too ;) LOL!!! I used to fall asleep in one class, RIGHT after lunch in college...and the professor was so cool about it...he would just make fun of me until I woke up. Class of 4-6 - only slightly embarrassing. Also, very good teacher too! He was very smart. VERY good teacher!

I'm glad you agree ;) this is an excellent example of a plane, as was the immediate predecessor, the 1.2m Blondie (I also had)

Glad you like them! - Thanks Rc Maniac!

I wonder if you should click the bell, and then re-click it???

Thanks! Glad you find it helpful :)

Awesome Chris and wife! Glad to have you!!!

True. That's why we do it! you know, I kinda like "everything" but you guys are smart enough to KNOW when I'm not into somthing. Some planes are just better than others, and some are super applicational. I try to check my subjectivity, or at least mention my bias for one from anther, and also share why I think what I think...when appropriate. The hardest part is to go from a $550 plane to a $75 plane, and hearing people talk about how EXPENSIVE the $75 plane is - LOL - but I try to take into account how much the thing costs, when I pick it apart...if it's a $37, I set the bar REALLY LOW ;)

Thanks Mark! Glad to have you here with us!

This plane, when discontinued, will be replaced with another awesome P-51. P-51's are the lifeblood of fixed wing RC aviation, but I'm so glad you decided to get this beauty. She is a well rounded, amazing flight experience. Great value for the money, and will give years of solid performance. Good call!

Great to hear! Thanks Peter!!!! You'll LOVE it ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC Where did you get this chinese screwdriver at 43:24 ?

Thank you for checking all the videos out!!! I hope we can help you to sharpen your English skills! Speaking multiple languages is an amazing skill that I can't say I have, but would love to be able to lean more languages as I progress through life ;) Also, one last thing that may have been lost in translation... There isn't any GPS on this plane, BUT there is SAFE (Sensor Aided Flight Envelope also known as Auto-Leveling). Don't want to confuse you or anyone who reads out interactions ;) We're glad you've been with us so long. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Nick!

Yes, thanks - we love it here! It's been decades of work getting to this point, but we LOVE it here ;) You guys have helped us making this a realty, so THANK YOU!!!

It is great. You won't regret this one. The whole 1.2m war bird series is very good!!!

Me too - she's still a favorite after all these years ;)

I know it's one of the selling points :)

Thanks mr. skydog!

@@BrianPhillipsRC don't mention it.

It is worth it!!! ;)

Welcome to the club ;) You'll enjoy it here, for sure!!!

Especially watching these videos its great

So glad you enjoy this part of our videos. We genuinely enjoy filming these videos when they aren't Dynam builds - LOL - or when they're just way to long (That's what she said). Glad you're here with us!

Mrs. No will beat me ----- LOL - best comment all morning!

You should! P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI

Will do! Thanks Kasper!

It is a great plane, and a wonderful Rc model! Love the P-51!

Indeed it is! Thanks Peter!

I think that would be easier too. Good idea!

Our pleasure! Thanks Rick!

You heard it first here on Brian Phillips RC - LOL - or what it health class in middle school...hummmmmm - LOL

I will, as they come - I have about 3 sitting behind me as I type ;)

Do it, you won't regret it... P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku It's a GREAT plane!!!

Cool Mark! Glad you had some good luck with the Zero. Was the ZERO by chance the FMS Zero? Eflite hasn't had a zero for a long time.

Easy... 1) P-51D 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku 2) F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m bit.ly/30jJUGy 3) 1.2m Spitfire is discontinued....but it would have been my last of the three anyway :)

These planes are not so much harder than you might thing, but if you have a wide and long landing strip, you would be surprised how "easy" they can be to fly.

Thanks!

Very cool! Glad you're we're in tune ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC when you can feel it through the video.....🤣👊 next i shall finish up my dynam smart trainer, i just crammed a 1750w sunnysky 3520 in that B****😉🤷‍♂️ things are about to get interesting... btw love the channel Brian Phillips & camera crew, it seems natural and i like how real you two are! wish i could get my wife into flying, ill be like lets go fly...? she's like🤨🤦‍♀️. it's ok though, more planes for the minime and myself😁.

Not considering the flight sound system. I've kinda always thought they sound a bit "shallow"...but some day, maybe ;) She doesn't fly, and doesn't have a lot of interest in it either. Sorry!

Thanks! This plane films very well!!!

Thanks Mike!!! Took one for the team ;)

Hello there! Thanks Gary. I agree!!!

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!

Great idea!

That's not a bad idea. Maybe ;)

Thanks Tyson! If you want to see more about it, we actually have a HOUSE BUILD SERIES ;) When we did this project, we knew we would want to go back and rewatch parts of it for help deciding things, or for help making future decisions.

That would be very nice, but that'll be a very, VERY expensive grassy knoll!!! I wish you best of luck, and want to see it when you get it done, so please do share your video link or send me an email on the "Business Inquiries" when you get it done. We might do something like this in the "back yard"...but not sure I can afford the nice grass ;)

You won't regret the NX8...if the price jump from NX6 to NX8 doesn't put you off too bad, I'd go with that. The nice thing about the NX6, is that it's actually 7 channels ;)

WHAT?!?!??! Now you're DOGS are gonna need new planes?!??!?!?!?! It's gonna get EXPENSIVE around your place John ;) ...and I didn't hear anything - LOL ;)

Thanks Paul! Heli's coming ;)

Thanks William! The sunset was gorgeous! only issue with the sunset at this time (When we filmed this video) is it's kinda bright, and obstructs my view of the power lines for a few critical minutes :(... Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained ;)

HUGE!

@@BrianPhillipsRC it did perfect! In super high winds too! I'm going to fly with safe off today. We have less wind hopefully. I also ordered the turbo timber with floats. Will maiden it soon with the same pack, if it fits. 😁

P-47 is also very good, but flies more heavy, you'll WANT 4S all the time with that plane. P-51 1.2m June Nite bit.ly/30hC9ku P-47 Razorback 1.2m bit.ly/3j8NXhG Both GREAT!

I've run my AT6 on 4S with good results too ;) This plane is a joy on 3S or 4S, but love that Horizon came out and said it would be okay publicly.

You have to use the elevator and right rudder to counter the P-Factor. It's a tough skill to get right! Once you get a feel for the plane, you'll feel so accomplished. It's not easy, but you can do it! Grass must be VERY short to get this plane on it's mains...but if you want you can even grab the tail and lift it and push it along to get it started if you want to do wheels up/wheels down on taller grass strips.

You can unscrew the 4 mounting screws, then drop it down, and you can actually do it with the retract up AND down...you usually have to cycle the gear, if you want to do it while still in the holder...but you can also take the top off the retract, then just pull the thing apart - SMALL SCREWS ON THE SIDE - DON'T LOSE THEM!!!! - then you can use a metric driver to back off the set screws, and she'll come out... HOWEVER - if they're NOT yet broken, but only bent, try supporting it and bending it back - you can get a couple "bends" back, if you're careful - good luck! Not hard, but you need a small phillips for the case on the retract. Dig in, it's not the first or last time you're going to need to do it....speaking from a lifetime of crashing ;)

Yeah, probably. If you can't get it to come off, try heating the screw, and pulling the screw into the plastic to melt new threads. This might help you get the cover off????

YES. You just need enough channels (7), and you can do it for sure. I can't tell you exactly how to setup each channel, but you can do it for sure. DSMX is supported right out of the box, so you could do it for sure. Good luck! This plane is excellent! SAFE gives a lot of leeway for bank and pitch angles, but I still recommend getting to AS3X only as soon as your skills allow. So much more fun and FREE!!!

The only thing to say, LOVE IT!

It really is!

Wait, you're watching this, and old review. It now has an AR631!!!

Coming soon! I gotta make it PART of another video....otherwise it looks like I'm trying to "show off"....even though I know many of my regulars would really appreciate it, it could come across wrong.

I know! We're like 75 from 100K right NOW at 11:18PM CST 5/19/2021 ;) We can both look back and see this in a year and who knows what things will be like then??!?!

yeah, you'll get used to that feel!

Yes, 4S 2200mAh 30C SMART Lipo strapped right in the middle of the tray. CG marks must be off on this plane, is all I can figure.

@@BrianPhillipsRC 4S 2200 it is then! Thanks!

4S gives power to get out of trouble, but I do "ride the line" at times ;)

Any Dynam is basically garbage compared to this plane. I'm very sorry to report this to you, and I take no joy in reporting to you that they're so terrible. As for flying...the Focke Wolf is one of the better flying planes, but you will spend a half day and many frustrations getting it in the air, and it will then start giving you problems with gear IMMEDIATELY. As for the P-51, you'll build it and it will perform flawlessly, with maybe 1/2 an hour of build and setup time. Don't mean to be a debby-downer here on Dynam, but they basically suck. Sorry Alexander. P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI VS Fw190 bit.ly/3lt5owK + AR631 bit.ly/3pYNC3c

The Corsair is GREAT, but the P-51 is very fast, and VERY slow. The F4U corsair is very cool too, but it's definitely different ;) I guess it might come down to what you like better. The F4U doesn't have SAFE select, if that matters. Beyond that - they're BOTH great!

Yes I am! Sometimes it's 5%,10%,15%...sometimes a bit MORE for rudder...but yeah, basically, that's my launching point, then I refine when I land from the maiden. I rarely change it. Super easy right!!??!?! BUT SUPER-DUPER-SUBJECTIVE - you might HATE these settings ;)

Yes you can! BUT if you use SAFE select, it's gonna be ON, OFF, or Selection will ALSO run another control (not optimal at all!!!)

There are two chargers that work great with AC... The S2100 bit.ly/3ftGEyR (two lipos at a time) and S1100 bit.ly/3exoRWh (one lipo at a time).

I would just get the new G2 version Ryan videos.

Awesome!!! I've seen others do it, so can't claim any originality on my part either ;)

1) Take off from pavement if at all possible. 2) Loads of rudder as you spool up. 3) Slowly feed in throttle. 4) Don't resist the tail coming up, but you CAN if you want to wait on it popping up BEFORE the controls come alive (meaning enough air over the control surfaces to make them impact directional change on the plane)

@@BrianPhillipsRC one last question. The instructions give me the impression that I should bind with all three wheels on level surface (nose up slight attitude), in some videos I see the plane being bound on a stand at traditional level flight. Can you confirm how you bound to ensure successful first flight.

Thank you Ricardo!!! We have a great audience, which makes it all worth it - THANK YOU!!!

Danny - do you really think she'll know the difference - LOL ;) You could get the IX20, and she's probably think it was the same thing ;) Try it... ...I'll check for the obituary :) LOL (do it - iX20 bit.ly/38XUA1I ) JK

Thank you, by the way...we never know what part people are gonna watch, but we try to share the time stamps if you can get what you need, and get out - we totally get it ;) BUT, if you watch the whole thing, we really do appreciate you helping our RU-vid presence. Our audience retention is always "poor" as it should be, but kinda goes with the territory of making long, and tutorial style videos, as we do. When I grow up, I want to make nice video that are all refined and TV show like, just to see how they turn out.... ;) ....it's funny how awesome you can make a video, even if the whole experience was terrible; this is why we err on the side of showing everything. Plus, we need room to "Ram it in" - LOL....

@@BrianPhillipsRC IX20 now that's a thought 🤔 LOL Oh by the way I'll always support your Channel. If it's HH products for sure.

This one will work now ( P-51D 1.2m - bit.ly/3qqC8FV ), thanks for bringing this to my attention!!! As for the difference, looks like they re part numbered the item???

WC I understand your question, but I like so many planes that it's like asking what my favorite kid is.... To be totally honest, I like my latest plane the best, but there's a bunch of my "go to planes" from yester-year, that I really like, and THIS Was one of them ;)

I'm sorry I'm killing your retirement account ;)

It comes with the plane, unless there's a button, then you don't need it. If you don't have one, you will...trust me. I have hundreds

Only had that happen with our P-39, and it was recoverable...which is why we shared that goofy paperclip mod ;) Other than that, I can't recall having an issue....EXCEPT, Esteban, my buddy, and RU-vid cameo (LOL) had this issue on his Pulse 15...that canopy SUCKED BAD...he had a piece of velcrow strap around it...but THAT was him...if it were mine, I may have had a better solution ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC Got it, thank you Brian. I remember that paper clip idea now. I’ll give it a try.

It's better, in fact, I hadn't even thought to check, but we just filmed two videos featuring the NX6 at near or BELOW ZERO (F) for your considerations...go the the end of each flight, and I believe we show the screen. WAY better than my DX18 (same LCD style screen as on your DX8). Fw 190 Maiden ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dzPOPXxH3_g.html F-15 Maiden ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yyVuhkirhzc.html ...but I haven't even given it a second thought. I'll be honest, I guess I didn't really notice it being super bad on my DX18, in terms of the fact that I just didn't fly that frequently in the extreme cold, but I DID experience the slow, laggy LCD when it got cold. I don't think this type of screen (on the NX6) does that.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks. It sounds promising.

I don't know anything about Bluetooth??? I don't have a DX8, so can't make the comparison. I have a GEN1 DX18...

LOL you were listening :)

I know this isn't the answer you want to hear, but it's the answer you need to hear - practice makes proficiency ;) You can do it. I have a video that kinda outlines this process, but it's a FEEL thing, and an EXPERIENCE thing... Here's the link - studio.ru-vid.comV2NA_dYzu18/edit - I talk about how to counter the "P" Factor (the torque of the prop trying to pull the plane over to the left, which is why the props point down and right). The best I can say is that when you engage the throttle, do it as slow as your strip will allow for. When you start, you can even pull back on the elevator to keep the tail wheel down for a minute, then slowly let it pull up, and about the time the tail wheel lifts, you'll have to move the rudder as the prop wash will want to "pivot" the plane.... it takes practice. Here's what I would try to avoid...don't just gun it and get her in the air (I mean, you CAN...but don't)...you CAN learn this skill, and when you master it, you'll be a much better pilot!

thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to watch that video!

I'm sorry, not sure what you're asking Peter.

Yes, absolutely - BUT you'll have to pick between... 1) SAFE Select WITH Flaps or Gear 2) Not using OR ALWAYS using SAFE Select 3) SAFE Select in stead of Gear or Flaps ...which SUCKS - you don't want to have to choose.

@@BrianPhillipsRC so I guess just go the extra mile for the dx8e haha
