I have been watching your RU-vid videos for almost a year and I have come to the conclusion that you guys have far too much fun to call what you do a "job"! Keep up the great work.
Amazing collision footage, and the depth of field of the filming camera (trirotor) is astounding. If you freeze the right frame the styro cells in the Hadron are perfectly visible.
I'm seriously impressed by how durable that plane and how well it was built. If I wasn't in the middle of upgrading my 3d printer and repairing the apprentice this would be an awesome airplane.
I just got mine Saturday...but winds were too blustery to fly. You guys have gotten me psyched to get mine in the air. Just have to make sure the sky is clear of Swedes! ;)
So you're saying it's operator error? No other online shows who shoot in HD seems to have these problems. Just because you can video record with SLR doesn't mean you should. They aren't made for it specifically.
if you guys want a good way to launch wings without cutting your fingers off, especially stuff like the x8 that can't be wingtip launched, try holding it with the stock launching points, run about 10 feet, throw, then once it's a few feet out of your hand you can begin to feed in throttle.
Great Video as always. I used to marvel at the in flight shots from the air and wondered how you did it. I now know you just have to go out and get a swede (a very special swede). I still marvel, the piloting all around is great but the air to air is still amazing. Thanks for the great stuff,
12:10 do you mean flare? When you come in fast, and pull back on the elevator and bring the nose up and stall the whole plane at the same time before landing to slow down?
guys this is the best i cant believe how much this plane will take and keep flying and of course a super pilot dont hurt i just chew at the bit waiting for the next video from you guys makes me want to buy another speedkit. keep up the great work
You guys are great! I'm a freshmen in college with nowhere to put my nitro planes and a whole lot of open fields here! So i started my FT 3D build and "the beef" should be coming in tomorrow. Stay awesome guys :)
I’m not sure if anyone will read this, but that is a difficult aircraft to find. Does anyone know a Vectored Thrust Flying Wing that is comparable to the Hadron? Much appreciated to any leads. Namaste, 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦
I love these kind of "classic review" episodes, like it was earlier, josh and josh, an interesting plane, fun and good tricopter air to air footage from david
I wonder why there aren't full size people carrying aircraft being designed and built in a similar style? I realize that similar designs were built and flew in the 1940's and 50's and that they tended to be unstable but surely with modern technology any instability could easily be overcome and this model certainly looks stable enough for me to fly a full size version of it. I am a pilot and have been a test pilot in my younger years btw.
+Dan NZ I would think that the g forces involved in a real version of that little model would black the pilot out pretty fast. Would be one hell of a thrill though, I would think.
+Dan NZ it's to do with manufacturing costs the fuselage is of low cost to make since most of it is just rings covered with a skin to make it rigid you can produce that quickly, Take a look at a documentary showing a modern airliner being made, the tooling needed to shape one part of a wing is different from another although they follow the same principle where as the fuselage is a continuous shape much cheaper to make tooling since your producing more. that's before you take into account training of your workers as well. While an airliner is not the most optimal design in regard to flight characteristics and efficiency it is optimal for material and labour costs while still having a good carrying capacity. I'm not sure we'll ever see flying wing or lifting body designs in commercial applications since it's not cheap and in any business you want to have low costs obviously without wanting to compromise on safety and quality.
+Dan NZ I'm not sure either but it would be a hell of a sight if someone designed and built one. The closest plane to this design that i know of is the eurofighter but that's not a delta wing
Review the Glasair Trainer with trainer software and the E-flite Apprentice with SAFE technology and tell us if there is anything different about the two training technologies.
Lots of good ideas on this video. +1 for seeing more of Davids new copter (I smell some 3D printing going on) and the carbon Z cub looks like fun too. I don't know if it is in the works but a Frsky Taranis and a Hitec 9x radio review would be great. I am looking for a new radio with telemetry. Like many people out there I'm still working with DSM2 but I know I should retire it for a more reliable protocol.
The pushycat x75 looks real nice. From hobbyking. I wonder if it's nice to fly as well. I'm thinking of getting it as a second fun plane. Anyone have any experience with that one?
Flying this plane 3s makes it very tame, defiantly not a beginner plane by any means though! hahaha, I have had three strikers and I wanted something more so I got a killer deal one of these and decided to give it a shot. With a 4s I break 100 mph, its pretty damn scary to fly, I love it! It is way more fun than the striker in my opinion, its faster with a 4s by quite a bit and has way better flying characteristics, it flys more like an expensive jet. The vectored thrust is crazy, it is very acrobatic, really gets my heart racing when you go into the flat spins. It is also a very high quality plane and easy to repair. If you get it, get a 4s!!! its the best 50 bucks you will spend! :)
Cool plane! I really like the way it looks and it appears to be really agile! The vectoring goes for some crazy boomerang style stunts! :) If I hadent just bought the Hobbyking Skipper for some winter flying I would have bought this right away, might still get one of these in the near future As always, great video guys!
The Devo series walkera transmiters 8s/12s with expanded 3rd party firmware gives usb interface controller along with transmission emulation of near every receiver platform.
Watching this six years late, but moved to comment on the landing. In 1972, a Hawker Siddeley Trident 1C on departure from London Heathrow entered a deep stall condition some three minutes after rotation. With no airflow over the control surfaces recovery was impractical at the altitude and the 118 souls on board perished.
So true, It's a shame tho, that in the EU we have to pay so much in delivery and tax costs or sit and wait for another delivery that never comes to the EU warehouse
How about a DIY thrust vectoring motor mount for the scratch-build series? I like the idea of thrust vectoring but at $279.99(towerhobbies) it's wayy over my budget for this size of plane.
I think I know a way to launch planes like this. You grab the bottom, and chuck it with all your might, but you don't throttle up until it is a safe distance from your hand.
Actually these pusher delta wing jets have gotten a lot safer since brushless and li-po's became practical because it causes the props to get smaller reducing risk. Have a Stryker C and have always hand-launched it with throttle on without a single issue.
