Man this is AWESOME!!! This is exactly what i wanted to see. I think im gonna buy it now!! Best review channel out there pushing limits. I love to see what this is capable of
I have the FMS SuperEZ that is almost the same airplane but tail dragger, and it is too fun to fly. When we have windy days, we can do elevators, stationary fly, spot landings, and much more, even with the gyro in off position, it just feels very stable.
I have this model on the way as we speak from FMS. Cant wait to get it. I have heard bothing but great things about it. The front landing gear is kind if silly looking with the spring but its great for new pilots. Thanks for the perfect timing on the review and for the channel. Love your content.
Hahaha! "what do you do to the ones you hate?" I bet some folks will take this up as a challenge! I'd buy two, one for bashing and the other for keeps. Great work as always Jon, keep it up mate!
30 seconds in and I cannot stop laughing 😂 I have owned cheap planes and helicopters in the past. They’ve all been tossed in the trash because of crashes like in the beginning and weren’t really rhetorical quality of planes you rebuild or repair. There’s guys always flying planes at the park near me and I figured it’s gotta be fun.
I just ordered one with extra props landing gear in a few extra goodies just to be safe. I couldn’t find the same battery that it comes with. I found some 2200mah predator batteries. Would those work with the ranger?
Thank you 2 bro's It just so happens that I am in market for just such an airplane. I have a grandson that has taken interest in my hobby. You just sold a Ranger. The hard part will be the wireless buddy box. I'm a digital caveman.
@@TwoBrosRC hiya Guys, it's a great plan and a great video!!! Sorry if I'm picky . Your 2nd sentence, " IT'S INDESTRUCTIBLE, SERIOUSLY " I don't think that is true, is FM's going to replace it? I think you'll have a few new disappointed flyers..... It's a fantastic plane and I dig the justice you've given it ..... but definitely not the INDESTRUCTIBLE part !!! Thankyou and happy flying!!! Love from New Zealand 😉😎
Started with the FMS Trainer 182 1400mm and went to the E-Flite F-15 after less than 10h experience. Only handlaunched it and while the FMS never crashed, the F-15 did while i threw it but it also didn't care that much b.c. it's a foam plane. RC planes don't need to be durable if the have a landinggear / floats and you are not a 100% idiot.
Thanks for the review, might be next buy and was happy to have found your channel. But then it took you 5:46 to say this was a sponsored video? And by "say" I mean, you mentioned in passing that FMS asked you to put shutter bombs on it which leads me to believe they, at least, send you the Ranger, too. So, I guess this is the state of YT these days where creators busy building their base can't be bothered to mention if it was a paid/sponsored review at all? If it was not, then you have my apologies but if it was, how about being honest about it up front?
You watched all of this torture testing and upfront thoughts on it and assumed we're lying to you because we didn't immediately disclaim that FMS sent it to review. That's on you, guy. We're always direct and to the point with what we think and feel. FMS did not tell us what to do or say. They gave us an airframe and helped get a couple of expensive smoke bombs for the plane. Our thoughts are ours alone. If you want someone to tell you what it's capable of, that's what we're for. We do apologize that the "paid promotion" button wasn't checked. We've enabled it now. But sent to review or bought wouldn't matter. This vid would have been made the same way and we'd say the same things.
@@TwoBrosRC Easy tiger, I never said you were lying. I actually said I would likely buy the Ranger. What I certainly did point out was that you should have, in all fairness, been 100% clear up front about this being sponsored/gifted to you and yes, tagging it on like that towards the end came off as wrong to me. But the only thing that's "on me" is that I spent years in journalism and as such, I just long for the older days of YT where content creators didn't have to navigate this whole thing where, I reckon, you need to stay friends with the industry to be able to get stuff first to review to get the clicks, etc, etc. Now, this might not be you but I know that a lot of creators opt not to review free stuff unless they can make a generally positive review - because they are basically afraid of ruffling feathers and not getting sent new stuff in the future - which their channel may be depend on. So, that leaves the rest of us with a somewhat slanted picture of what's out there and a game of having to read between the lines or interpreting the unsaid. Anyhow, maybe I am just old school and maybe no one else feels the need for the usual disclaimer any longer. Oh, thanks for marking it is "paid promotion" that's actually more than most creators do these days.
I have just recently became medically retired and have thought about getting a RC plane to occupy some of my time. I have seen other channels and they suggest that one buy a flight simulation program and a good gaming computer. What do you 2 recommend????
hey i was hoping somebody could help me; i was considering to buy this as my first plane, and i really wanted the floats, but I wasn't sure how waterproof or resistant this plane was, cause if i was going to buy this I wanted to make sure that it would survive and be fine if it tipped into the water on take off or landings, please help
I got for first fly, brand new and I mistakenly put a 2s battery on it, did not pay attention. It took off and after 3 seconds went nose diving. I broke both parts of the wings in the pin area, broke the spinner, the wings struts support came off and finally busted the propeller. I think I am below beginner.
Use a low voltage alarm. They're cheap and readily available from Amazon or your local hobby shop. For more advice, join us on Discord! bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
I never flew a plane with floats, mainly because I’m afraid the plane is gonna be ruined if it gets wet in the interior. What happen to servos, ESC, receiver, and motor when it gets wet? Someone can answer…
Nothing, usually, since the plane floats and the components don't get wet. The motor doesn't care if it's wet, but the other components will be damaged if they're submerged.
@@TwoBrosRC I actually bought a used one last week. Guy bought it for his son but the kid just wasn't interested so I got a good deal. We'll see how she flies. No floats, shame because I have a nice pond.
Unfortunately I had the exact opposite of what you show in your video. I pretty much solely bought this plane because of this video. My very first flight on floats literally the first seconds of flight. Pushed on throttle and lifted off got a foot or two off the water and nosed down. Hit the water at maybe a 30 degree angle and it flipped onto its back ended up tearing the front float mount out of the body and toasted the motor. Now waiting for a new motor the old one just shutters back and forth and for glue to reattach the front float mounting plate back into the body. I have to say I was very excited after watching this video and completely disappointed after my first 10 seconds of " flight " contacted FMS and received a well there not water proof and more or less sucks to be you. Them posting this video on their site to me is false advertising, you guys slam it into the water and bushes with no issues I had a flip and toasted the motor and tore the entire float mounting bracket out of the plane.
That's super unfortunate, sorry to hear that! Sometimes people get the doodoo luck of the draw, and it sucks that it had to be you that time around.

Oh yeah, I void the warranty on an aluminum baseball bat.... However the parkzone cub which is no more was incredibly strong also, I was learning my aerobatics with it and crashed it full throttle straight down, inverted low pass full throttle and dumb thumbed it, but now I only crash when I'm to fast and to low and my head isn't in the game. But who are we kidding, you fly rc planes and collective pitch helicopters YOU WILL CRASH. I'll have to pick this one up and test it myself
Recently bought this plane and flew it today on the water and crashed it in the water and now the motor doesn't work. Makes me wonder why, because your test video showed you guys crashing multiple times in the water and it still works. Hm
Would someone please call the ASPCA - American Society (for the) Prevention (of) Cruelty (to) Airplanes !!!! - this was painful to watch. In defense of the Aeroscout - I've never broken a prop or had a student break a prop since I started training with the Aeroscot. Smack the nose in any other plane like the Ranger or Apprentice and you may break a prop, damage the motor mount and mess up the nose gear. I recently acquired a Ranger so I will see how it does compared to the Aeroscout. The first time I saw an Aeroscout I thought it was ugly too and did not like it. But it has grown on me. It is so ugly it is cute.
@@TwoBrosRC Into water. Into foliage. Most crashes are far more intense than those and involve high speed impacts into the hard ground. I remember the Prangster that was supposed to be "indestructible". It wasn't and that was made from EPP that is more crash resistant than EPO. Suspect beginners are going to buy this model, thinking it's "indestructible" and they will find out for themselves the hard reality.
Into water and foliage is enough to destroy foam airplanes. We should know considering our Timber floats have broken with softer impacts in water: ru-vid.com7Gc90Ybdkbw The motor mount has broken with prop striking water, too. It's far more indestructible than most airplanes we've flown.
@@thedelaminator I have a friend who took off, did a loop and went straight into the paved runway with a SuperEZ (almost the same model), and the airplane did not sufer that much for the speed this thing impacted. The motor mount move backwards, the motor did not suffer any damange, some foam parts broken but It was easily repaired (hot water) and the next weekend it was flying again. I agree with you that it is not indestructible, but it takes a lot of abuse.
