FMS - Pilatus PC-21 - 1.1m - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights 

The length of your videos speaks volumes to the passion you have for this great hobby of ours as well as to how much you want to help others succeed and continue on their journey through the amazing world of R/C!! I'm sure I speak for the majority out here in RU-vid-land when I send out a heartfelt thanks for all that you and your wonderful camera crew do!! Keep up the amazing content my friends!! Stay warm out there!! ;)

I’m busy rebuilding mine, by far my favourite as a passionate Pilatus fanatic. I wanted one of these with a sore heart but could never get one here until a mate found one that was quite abused, got a replacement fuz, new prop, made my own more scale spinner, rebuilding the cockpit and hatch completely, also more scale and detailed, redoing the wing tips to a scale profile (larger than the stock tips) new gear doors, a Patrouille du Suiss white and red scheme, dummy underwing tanks, full placard decals including the canopy breakaway patterns and a host of refinements, it’s going to be a competition winner, the pilot figure is a full figure fighter pilot that cost almost what the model costs! If you want to add more detail and would like the decal set I’d be happy to share the artwork with you, I just print on A4 label paper and coat it with polyurethane varnish.

Thank you, thank you…….your videos are helping a newbie rc pilot learn all of this. I couldn’t imagine how hard this would be without your channel. 👍🏻

THAT SNOW FREEZING COLD TELL ME GREAT LENGTHS SPEAKS VOLUME'S TO ME ONE TOUGH TEAM A TOTAL PASSION FOR RC PLANES IS OUTSTANDING MUCH APPRECIATED AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 👍 SERIOUS

We are house hunting Brian.My list of demands is now enough property to take off and land on!(my wife thanks you)...lol...great flight!.

I've had to watch 20+ videos before I knew this was one of my favorite channels you just got a subscriber I'm sure you have reviewed any plane I want to buy

So glad you also had to move your battery that far forward. I just set mine up this week, and was worried about how far I had to move mine. That front strap is barely holding on to the back of my battery, lol. I put a rubber strip on the bottom to help it stay in place.

Hi BRIAN and CAMERA CREW. What a wonderful looking plane. She FLYS GREAT looks GREAT. If it was mine now would have to some how put some more white on the bottom of her. Other than that I think it a GREAT looking plane. THANKYOU for posting.🇬🇧🛫✈️🛩️🚁🛬♥️ BRIAN PHILLIPS RC 🇺🇸 🌟👍🤩

We have one just built, but not flown. Cannot wait. Thanks, guys!

Wow great camera work once again that is not easy to film a rc plane not as easy as it looks you do great and the pilot is very lucky to have ya

Keep showing every step ! Saves me from reading the instructions. :)

I bought a pack of self-adhesive screw cover caps that are small white circular 9/16" disks that I use to mark the CG on my planes. They are raised up slightly and have a texture on them so I can easily find them to check CG whether it is a high wing or low wing.

Thanks again Brian for turning me on to this plane. I bought it thru your link and I maiden it today and she flies awesome. Also great job with the forward programming. I'm computer stupid and you made me a genius. Thanks man

I followed your setting video for the carbon cub s 2 and dang it was great,thank you for your time effort and the fun

Love the prop on that plane

Beautiful plane love the 5 blade prop retracts and flaps Nice flying Brian Hope Camera Crew is feeling better God bless

You make a great team, not only you’re a great pilot, your camera crew is fantastic, I know about taking videos to airplane models, so I appreciate her job, again you’re a great team, I enjoy your videos in front if your house, thanks for that...

Brian! I just bought this plane and got it yesterday! I put water based clear polyurethane on mine and it really looks amazing now. I should be able to do my maiden tomorrow 😁😁😁👍

Thank you you finally got the Plautus. I have had this for a year and it's been setting right above my head put together and actually bound to a remote and I have the stabiliser put in after market. But not many people fly this plane other than professionals on The channels that are sponsored by fMS or horizon. And I like how you put down all the settings so at least I have this one to go off of and I can fly it maybe

Thank you Brian and camera crew beautiful plane Thanks for weathering the weather for us From Ohio.

That plane is so beautiful!!!!

Your videos are so good they make me want to procrastinate the entire day.

Thanks for the video. I jumped on here after I picked one of these up and ran out of battery tray before I got the CG correct. I wanted to make sure I wasn't that far off and your battery is in the same spot. So thanks for confirmation. You have to love that they design these and make you think they never flew the damn things. Just put them out and let us figure it out.

I took a drink at every 'thats what she said' moment. I could hardly stand up by the end

Nice landing, straight down the center line.

Thank you guys your videos ,they are really helpful,and that plain is amaziiiiiing 👌👌👌👌

Love the pilatus planes Brian 🤙

Great job, thank you guys.

If you had a slider-equipped transmitter (NX8 or higher I think) you could get full gains for slower flight and landing (e.g. 90 roll at full but at half you're at 45) and turn it off completely as you did with the three position switch. It'll also let you have fine tuned precision for adjusting AS3X, especially with jets which love wobbling if they're not set up just right.

Wow it looks amazing

Love the look. That color is stunning. Outstanding electronics bay. I like to be able to stuff more than a battery and receiver inside my planes. It seems like a lot of plane for $200.

Beautiful plane!

This plane is awesome

I just ordered this right now ty. I have seen this before never got it I do like the short take off and how quiet it is. Will be perfect where I live or back yard though. I always liked the look but just got it now.

Reminds me of my old Turbo Raven! Man I loved that airplane....

Look at ya now wow what a plane that retract though

Need to pick up on the give always keep that house cleared out.thanks

I hate to say this old bird may have moved up ahead of the FW 190 on my want list. 😎 I have to say watching all that finesse in placing the receiver knowing you needed to move it was brutal. 😱

Like it, in the Swiss Color, Fantastic, thumb up. Very Agil and Fast. And Respect, butter landing :)

Very pretty plane!

How awesome would a Tamiya RC Vehicle build be🤔. A really beautiful plane.

Brian, I would love to buy planes through your site, but with a very low fixed income the closest I will ever get is the RF 9.5, which took me some time to get, it helps with the transmitter, but dose not give me the feel of flying a real RC plane. I do enjoy watching your site.

The only cheese that belongs in my gyro is feta. Sick plane sir, much appreciated for the video.

It also comes with a Reflex System so you do not need the Safe and AS3X - you can just use a nice Spektrum AR620.. OH I see you got sent one without the Reflex installed - well I Just purchased mine today with Reflex... a bit late to the show bit got it a killer price here in the UK - short servo extension leads and shove it in the back behind the battery.. then you have all the space you want to set the battery so the CG is good...

OK, OH Dear! I think I just saw my next plane. Brian you need a turn out on the south end of the runway - you know down towards the bales of hay. Another wide spot out by the mail box would be great too. Then you need to put in runway lights and a tower just for effect.

sweet plane man hi from uk

Thanks!

Brian if you get the nx8 or 10 you can assign the as3x gain channel to the r/h knob so you can adjust in the air way easier ,then when you are happy with that you can permanently set gains on the ground if you like . You commented on mixing in fwd programming don't remember ever seeing that.

Up and over the moon. I need that plane! 😁👋🏻

Got the 1.5 Turbo Timber and 3 3200 mAh 4S for it, you got me considering this one Brian!!!

Tenho um modelo desse!!! Muito top!!

Nice plane.. looks like EDF

Brian watching you has things popping into my mind. You like to say foam to protect the foam, why not foam to protect the fingers? Use some of the foam pack to wrap the prop blade that you are going to grab hold of.

6:23 an Avian 45 amp ESC would let you back taxi, which would be scale for a turbo prop, just saying.....

Nice plane. It flew amazing and not much wind problems. Do you prefer Spektrum TX? What do you feel about Open TX radios?

You should do a review on the avios spitfire from hobby king. Brilliant plane. Comes ready to fly with all electrical. Only needs battery transmitter and reciever

Hey Brian and camera crew. Im putting the AR631 into my night timber x. With my new NX8!👍 my question is... when setting up AS3X on a tail dragger, should you make it level for initiation? I remember you talking about that on a previous episode? Thanks in advance

Hi Brian, Come to think of it, you could make us a mini SUN 'n FUN or a mini EAA Airventure Oshkosh with all your models lined up in the parking lot.

its one of my favourite planes, smooth, no gyro required, i have an fms 3648 870kv motor in mine, 850watt 58amp, 80amp esc, quick enough for me on 3000mah 4s 40c 4.5 mins.

GORGEOUS 😂😂🤣🤘

Now that’s a pretty plane! Just to think I always skimmed over this gem! What kind of connecter does it have I saw you just slap in a smart pack so I’m interested

I would love to see the Freewing A-6 Intruder. I want to buy one even though I am no where good enough to fly it, but I love the A-6

Hello brian, sorry about this being a new comment on an old video, but like flying the fms ranger 1220mm but with safe on, safe off im not too comfortable. Does this plane have safe? and would you suggest me buying this plane as i really want to get it.

what camera do you use for filming its really good

I was just wondering what to do for the next 3:15:21. Thanks BP. Which do you prefer this or the new Eflite T28 Trojan?

Hey I Made It, I've Been Busy Makin Money In The Stock Market...🤑 Nice Plane & She's Quick + A Great Soundin Screamer! LOL Thanks

I put a 5S setup in mine, running a 65amp esc and 2200mah 5s battery. I also am running parallel 2x 1800mah 5s combo which it handles no problem. I run the stock prop and this is now its nearly as fast as my EDF's with unlimited vertical (I'm at 5000ft) so you might have that anyways.

Nice. Can you do a video in the future showing the AR631 is only fly by telemetry (vs full range on like the AR637T/A)? Like have camera crew record the telemetry on the transmitter while you fly far and close to see what happens when it’s out of range. Just to show how far out “fly by” really goes.

Spread the lips and cram it in, LMAO.. that was just too funny!

Can you please do a second thoughts on the 1.5 turbo timber really like to see another vid on that plane deciding whether or not to buy that one👍🏼

I want to put safe and As3x in the arrows f15 and the fms rafale 80. What receiver do you recommend for these aircraft. Thanks

Quick question: I’m about to buy the NX6 as I’m a beginner and my question is if 6 channels is enough for a plane with flaps, lights and gear (for example the Fw190)? Or do I need 7 channels for that? Thanks for the help!

Wife: I could even do that! A bit later: I didnt expect that! HAHA

You need to try the FMS Extra 330 2000mm

I'm bad about asking questions three years later I forget to look at the dates it was streamed sorry air Marshall crashed his plane like this one awsome vidio

Do you have any video where if you activate the safe mode in this type of receivers, thanks

You should get a trainer let the camera crews Fly it 😁

How is the servo and other equipment quality of FMS planes? Dynam for example makes some great airframes but have a reputation of substandard electronics that fail too often. I assume FMS is pretty good but dunno.

why not get the nx10 rather then the nx8?

it warns you its turning off. just like the old spektrum, theres as delay before it fully turns off.. for safety. you can turn it back on and it wont disconnect if you do so before the beeps end

Brian, I have not used Hot glue before will it melt foam?

I met a young pilot last week. He has one of these, but is kinda lukewarm on it. Thinks it sort of slow. Slow or scale????? your thoughts?

Been flying mine for 3 years now, where you been?

How to get I one from Bangladesh?

could you do the fms beaver 2000

Is that nose wheel plastic or metal? It looks pretty flimsy.

First one baby!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

Can you do some more airliner vids

Which states you are living, very nice 👍😷👍😷👍

DO you ms using your 18 nice RADIO

3 1/4 hours and it's not even a Dynam.😂 Informative with corrections. In a few more weeks you will have too many comments to reply to....good problem to have.

I assume you want a real airplane, what kind do you want

Yeah, i love this plane, ive had mine for about a year now, and i only flew it once, so far i love it, and it flies really good. I'd love to see what you do with it. This plane flies just as good without AS3X as it does with it. Apparently the cg can be moved to 112mm behind the leading edge, According to this rcgroups page. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2700509-FMS-1100mm-Pilatus-PC-21/page20

Fms sono porcaria e -flite e molto migliore
