FMS - Yak 130 - 70mm - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights 

Just wanted to give you a thanks for the build video. I built this plane yesterday and was really helped by your demo of how to get the battery pack in. I only have 40000mah 6s 60 c batteries, so I had to push back the junction box, just like you demonstrated. With all the wires pushed back the battery slips in (just) and the cog is fine. Must say that this plane is very easy to build in terms of screwing together, but all the connectors are a real fiddle due to lack of space to push them back into the body. Both the wings connectors and the elevators. The big advantage of watching you, is that when I had to do it I knew firstly that it was not just my plane, and secondly that it could be done. Also if anyone else reads this, I did have to cut some foam out of the canopy to get my receiver in position. Once again...the long video really was usefull. Andy in uk.

I'm #2 Again... I Luv FMS Birds! Hey My 2" Of Snow Finally Melted & The Temps Are Back Up Above 40*... 🥶 My Well Water Pipes Were Frozen All Last Week & I Had To Melt Snow For All The Animals In Down To 10*, What A Pain In My Arsss...At Least The Power Never Failed Like Last Year!

Yeah Brian own the sky and own the road ? Great fun . Thank you.

I’ve had this on back order for months. Watching this video in its entirety getting ready for it. Shipping soon!

So glad to see this review. Just picked one of these up over the holidays. Spar came to me crushed and horizon sent me a whole new plane. Starting on a camo scheme for spring flying season. Thamks for this amazing review!!!!

Brian you are one of the best or if not the best RC pilot I have ever had the pleasure of. Watching I have learned so much by watching you and the knowledge you bring to the lobby has help me also. I’m returning to my hobby after five months in a hospital for diabetic complications and you keep me sane all the time thank you so much Mr. Phillips you put the smell back on my.

I love that whoopteedoo move just befor touch down. And freaking sweet landing.

This video gives the plane a halo. It is amazing.

Watched the second thought video this morning. Now had to come back and watch this. WOW!!! What a jet. Perfect all around. But seriously, what are you thinking? Flying in the middle of that freeway 😂? Also don’t make fun of its big belly. I resemble that remark. Loved this video so far. Ready to watch the rest, right now.

I salute yall for your dedication. About 10 days ago I flew in the 20's and after 2 flights I had to call it because my hands hurt so bad. So I can't imagine -10 - 0! Thank you so much for what you do. This plane looks amazing. I've passed buying this one up on many occasions due to its size (thought it was quite small) and being that it's just another 70mm... You've definitely shown me otherwise lol. Thanks again and love your video's!

Man that thing screams !!!! It's always a Great Day when I get my BrianPhillipsRC fix ! Thanks again Brian and AWESOME camera crew for another great video ! Nice plane and great flying Brian !

Another excellent flight ,unboxing and assembly. Thanks Brian and camera crew.🇬🇧

glad your using the Big Runway ; )

Man love the details u get into so helpful

29:22 Your insights are always fantastic for all those who don’t 20 years experience in RC.

This jet looks to be a good candidate for an Avian ESC for Reverse thrust to help bleed speed in a pinch. Absolutely gorgeous looking jet nice scale details

To watch both of you fly and film in those temperatures, I salute you. We live in NW Wisconsin, I know what that weather feels like. Great inbox, build and setup. I appreciate your video length and time you invest. I’m trying to pick up as much as I can on the radio setup sections. I got a heads up from the North Pole, that I have a new NX8 coming for Christmas. I’ll make sure Mrs. Claus 🤶 knows to use your link. Can’t wait. Time to retire the old DX6i. Awesome review of this plane. Pardon my language, but you are truly one “Bad A$$” pilot Sir

Sounds like the Bob Ross of landings love it!

Well it's about time man. Now I got something to watch after work. Hey Ice, let's see,,,,,maybe we can just saw enough of the nose off to alow for super EZ battery removal and and installation. Or maybe you just make your own jet with a hole and a plug in the nose. It may just get you a couple million . Let's face it, you have done the research and development on that last flight you shown us. 😄😜🤣

Great landings Brian!

Good looking plane

We real guys love squishy tires!

Just ordered one of these because I thought with those trailing links all around it would be a good pick for flying off grass. Thanks for the great review Brian! Always appreciate how thorough you are

Wow, the video quality is so good now that you can actually see the head stones in the graveyard behind the vampire killing zone!

Absolutely amazing bro. Could you get camera crew to video you on the sticks sometime.? Would love to see what is involved in controlling one of these birds.!!!! Cheers

Definitely need to get me one of these, been looking at getting my first non micro EDF finally. Love your enthusiasm, laugh/voice reminds me of Jack Black.

Just wanted to say thank you both for the videos and the info that you provide. Also thought it was cool when you was para gliding flying or how ever it's pronounced. Thanx.

This 4k is awesome bryan

Bravo on that landing 👏🏽 👏🏽. Camera crew 👍🏽👍🏽. Just watched ur v900 vid. My next plane

"RU-vid, it's Brian Philips, look at this..." lol. Love the intro, the plane...and love the channel.

Nice flying as usual, that jet is gorgeous!

Damnnn finally they put this bird in your hands. Always wanted to see an updated video . great flight my guy 💪

just ordered one from your link, thank you

Nice I have the MotionRC one but I like the fms landing gear better then the wire ones

Stick cam would be pretty cool

Thanks Brian for doing what you do. If it were not for people like you, we would not know how to do it! Thank you for those little tricks and secrets that keep us flying safe an inexpensive! Thanks again Brian! Thumbs up!

Great flying Brian I’ve just picked up a Banggood glue and go yak like that lol pusher prop I’ve got mig 29 one that I fly I love flying it , I would love this though, happy flying to u and great camera work, Gary 🇬🇧

Sounds awesome!

How on earth is camera crew able to follow the plane on these super fast flyby’s. This was crazy fun and good flying!

Dam I need that plane. Thanks Brian and Megan! Iv been patiently (somewhat) waiting for this review! Seems like the yak130 is a good value. It's priced barely cheaper than some other non scale jets but the scale details put it ahead of the game for me. Plus it looks so sharp, and the landing gear looks stout. It sucks that 6s equipment is so expensive. Once I get a charger and batteries I'm buying that thing! Hopefully it won't go out of stock or have a crazy price increase. Cuz I'd buy it now if I didn't need a 6s charger asap. If you wanted to really out do yourself, a comparison video of the freewing would be cool. My mind is already made up but I had to think about it. Awesome!! You guys are the best in the game!👍👍

Bad ass u make it look easy. Camera crew bad ass also

Gonna brake the sound barrier

Thank you for another excellent review!

LOL ...Brian I hope you never get a fire in your kitchen!! With all those lipos in there those are the first fearful items to throw out into the front yard.. The gas stove is like the joke in comparison or in thought at least, compared to lipos bursting into hot flames!! Nice video, I like the Eflite Viper better still, it flies so quick and straight!!

Lol, I do always just imagine a truck coming around that corner. That plane looks really fun though!

I loved mine. This was my first EDF. Flew fantastic. Until that windy day it flew into the sun, that is... lol

I got the same plane last summer and i love it, fast and sexy. Using 6S 4000 also, about 5 minutes flight time with throttle control. Thanks for showing how to use the knob switch for the gain .

Super video

This is definitely one of my favorite EDFs. It quickly became my go-to when heading to the field. I love to practice the high-alpha landings with it, it absolutely decreases the roll out. And what about that flight time for a jet!😀😀😀

Awesome Jet. 🔥 This one would be worth adding reverse thrust for the long roll out. That was some nice landings especially the dead stick was a greaser. 🔥 Nice fly Brian 🔥👍 Awesome job as always Camera Crew 🔥👍✌️ Hope you get the FMS Rafale 80MM

Good flying skills! I was thinking about buying a Yak because they have such a low wing loading and great slow speed handling. thanks

relax relax relax FLARE ..LMAO loved it! 😂

This is one of my favorite jets on the market. Also, one of the best money for the value you get. $289 with 6ch and shocked gears. I put two Freewing pilots in the cockpit.

good lord your flying skills are................on rails

You are hilarious. Love your work

Always liked that plane. Reminds me of a shark (the belly especially)

$289? Wow, didnt expect that, although its PNP so no receiver included. I noticed the motor sounds a lot like the X-Fly motors, very quiet. Great looking canopy, I think I like this better than the Vulcan in many ways.

Yes! Been waiting for this one! How does the top speed of this compare to the e flite A-10 in your opinion? Seems like it’s a little better at slow speed handling too, if I’m not mistaken. I may go for the Freewing Vulcan 70mm as my first EDF, this one looks a little tricky/tippy on landings, despite how easy everyone else says it is! That’s why I rely on you man 😁

The person who invents an economical ding free foam will be a billionaire

Hello Brian😁😁😁😁😁😁great super jet red

We need a second thoughts on this with the warmer weather

Fantastic flying loved it!!! I got one of these from a buddy but first flight wasn't so great unfortunately. Full flaps and turn for final got really slow and tipped stalled. Do you usually deploy flaps when lined up for landing or before....and keep speed up? Thanks

Very good nice

Hay Brian, what kind of spray paint can you use on EPO foam?

Absolutely phenomenal how you fly it, I have a question, help me, can this YAK take off on grass?

Love your flying and reviews, by the way did anyone ever tell you that you look and sound like Jack Black the actor ? That is a compliment. Love all these jets. Thanks

Wow I can not believe how fast that thing goes it goes faster them the Su E-flite SU-30 Twin 70mm EDF.

1:13:11 I agree!👍

If you toss an Avian ESC in that - you could use thrust reverse to slow the landing once touched down.. - maybe a revisit video with that upgrade ? Lol

Fms, horizon, DONT RAISE THE PRICE!! It's perfect where it is!!

Hey Brian, great job! Been looking at many Yak and Viper vids, as I am looking for a good first jet. Would you recommend this Yak as a first jet? I have years of flying experience, just haven't made the jump to EDF yet. Thanks!

What do you mean by “purchase “ when you talk about the straps and plugs

Hi brian quick question.. does the flight program for the v2 and v1 both work the same? I’m picking up a used v1 and wondering if the spektrum download program will be the same? Other then not having as3x nor safe mode for it.

Great plane great flying,, and you really sound like Jack Black by the way 🤣

Will you be reviewing the FMS BAE Hawk? That and the YAK 130 are my fream EDFs

ok, a silly question. I just setup as3x and safe on a new ar637t (o=off, 1=as3x, 2=as3x/safe) and everything seems to work fine except when I test the as3x setting movements (switch position 1) by moving the craft certain ways to see how the control surfaces work, there are no movements when the rotating gain knob is in the low position. I have as3x active in safe as well (Switch position 2) and surfaces do move with the same gain knob setting. When I rotate the gain knob to 50%, things are ok at switch position 1 ( I see movement). The gain settings are default, so I am wondering why I see movements with one switch position but not the other.

You sure had fun with this one! How come I keep hearing Jack Black when you talk? 😁

How many have you filtered through the power lines?!?! Haha! Nice flying brother!

Yes yes yes

You guys should do an fpv plane with a modern flight controller, running inav or ardupilot. Would be happy to show you how to set it up

A bit late to the party, but thinking about this for my first (and probably only) edf. Also looking at the e-flite A-10 and viper 70mm. Thoughts?

Still waiting until February 2023 for mine. I’ve already paid for it so I can’t go directly to FMS, I hear they have them in stock in the US warehouse. Can you remind us which set of drivers you have? I’ve seen them on one of your videos, but can’t track it down. Appreciate you and the “camera crew for the descriptive insights and videos you share.

Man, the sound of that thing! How fast do you think that actually goes on a pass?

You should get the runcam 2 4k and do some fpv or just stick it on your plane! That would be cool

Do you need all the stabilization to fly it well or can it be flown nicely with out it?

Brian ! Icant decide 🤔 yak. Or 70mm viper. What's your opinion

AR8360T vs AR637T, only $15 dollar difference between the 8ch and 6ch. If money was not a factor which would you purchase?

Cant seem to push the wires for voltage lines in like you. Any other way to install them?

Just bought one thank you?

Question almost all the fms 70mm edfs call for 6s 3300 35c will I be ok running spectrum 6s 3200 30c

I have and crash because bad esc restart betwin flight 😆 you should try FMS Rafale 80mm edf sound like turbine

Bryan plz plz make a set up video for the A3 V2 Gyro you used in the past I really need a good detailed video ,plz man ,,,let me know if you could help me. Thanks for your RU-vid videos 👌👌

No.1

Second thoughts in normal weather?

I somehow didn’t notice during the build last night during the build, it wasn’t until I got to the field did I notice the odd shaped fuse! It looks like a pregnant guppy. (Or is it “guppie”?) I’m beginning to digress. My first FMS. Wasn’t impressed with the foam, the wiring sucked, and I guess the designer’s don’t fly, or they would’ve thought about the placement of a receiver. I just copied everything you did. Flew great, piece a cake to land with a 10-20 mph wind.

👍

Your wife behind the camera is expert. Could you tell us which camera equipment she uses, make and model. Thanks.

Please please!! Which gloves are you wearing ? Couldn’t find anything that would be good for flying :(

lol. it totally does look like the angry birds

I don’t get how people could get mad over a small plane using the road for 10 seconds to take off and land😂
