FliteTest Can you come to Columbia some time

FliteTest PLEASE do a review of the Durafly exf racer!

Put me down as wanting to see the Durafly exf too!

Me three...100mph for 138$

+Cyclonex1CA Sorry I have no idea if it does. one thing that I have not done is try this on a fast plane. Not sure how the responds will be like. The self level does work fast enough. A down point is that I have not found out how to turn it off in flight. So it will not roll or loop as the T1000 restricts pitch and roll to only 45 degs so you cannot go inverted.

I wouldn't mind seeing a video about his gear copters and flight techniques as he Flys very different from David

Glad you are enjoying it!

FliteTest Are you ever gonna do a review on the Team BlackSheep Caipirinha?

Sonic Orb Studios

Yes, it's Alex Zvada. He even managed to not hit the planes even though it looked quite close a few times ;).

I was about to comment the same thing! I scrolled through to see if anyone else thought so as well. I didn't feel sick once! Good work. I just started flying a tricopter myself and have a whole new respect for folks who can pull off air to air footage.

Balu What are you guys using for that gorgeous aerial footage? First I though it was just the a Bix with the panel mount cam, but then I seen footage of the aero's chasing a camera that was clearly ahead. Was it a rear mounted camera or a multicopter? Have you ever done a behind the scenes to show the amount of hours or labor force required to get such great footage in air?

Joshua Nulton Alex is flying a 250 size FPV quad to get air to air footage like that. He used to fly a Blackout Mini H Quad, but he switched to a Lumenier QAV250 a while ago. And no. If the footage is from Alex, the camera always points to the front. So he has to fly sideways besides the planes or backwards if he is in front of them. Sometimes he even loops over the planes =). The amazing footage is probably a result of two things: Alex's immensive training and flying capabilities. Second: A lot of footage, so you can use the good one ;-). Usually they also shoot extra air to air footage so there's no quad buzzing around for the ground to air shots and while they are talking.

They wanted to put up a list on the website which events they are planning to attend next year if I recall correctly. It's not there yet though.

Balu next year, 2016?

border collie21 games My comment was from 2 months ago :)

randys rc hobbyroom Nice idea. For now you'd probably have to get your own fleece jacked and have it embroidered since it's not available in the store.

You are right Jon

E flite apprentice, any bixler, Axn clouds fly, hobby King mini super cub, there's loads of suitable trainers out there.

Sean Duffy I'd guess so. Less throws too probably.

well the one in the trf is ... oky, if you are on a budget its an ok Tx, if you want to spend a bit more, get a Flysky th9x (the Turnigy 9x is a rebranded version) its a great 9 ch Tx, and its quite modable and will grow with you if you wish (and dont fear a little modding and soldering)

If i were you I would go for the Spektrum Dx5e(around£70), if u want it to last u a little longer go woth the 6 channel Spektrum Dx6i(£90). I have just started in the Rc hobby and I bought myself a Spektrum Dx6i(decision well made!)

Recommend a Turnigy 9X to start with. Fantastic bang for the buck, is a full computer radio that will run multiple models and last 1-2 years of flight for around 50 something dollars plus freight. If you are still enjoying yourself at that point, look around at other brands / radios other people you know are using and compare cost vs benefit now that you (hopefully) know what you want to do with it. DX6i is also a good starting point, although a little more expensive. I'd recommend that if all your friends fly Spektrum so you've got plenty of help. DX5e is a bit basic, will get you in the air fine but can only really do one model. For my second radio, I went with a FrSky Taranis. That's a choice I made after I knew what I really wanted my radio to be able to do. I still use the Turnigy 9X for buddy boxing others and teaching my son to fly.

Michael E Not sure about the "ultra micro 3ch system", but according to the podcasts they are working on mini / indoor swappables for the winter.
