My own Private Jet! - First Flights with the Xfly J65 Twin EDF

Usually I gravitate more towards military aircraft, but when I saw the XFly Model J65 Twin 70mm EDF come out, I was really drawn to it. Being based on the Gulfstream G650, it is such a nice looking design and Xfly has really characterized the shape and scale details really well....and she flies extremely sweet! We were at a new field with pretty rough runway and the winds were a little cross and bumpy, but the model handled it all well (the gyro works really well!). For the winds, I realized later on that partial flap was the ticket to give the airplane a little more speed. With the wings as they were, it got pretty floaty and would wing rock a bit, but I only managed a couple wing scrapes in the process, haha! I can finally say I own my own biz jet!...albeit in miniature. 😂 Full review coming soon! #g650 #scalemodel #maidenflight

Thanks for giving chollas rc flyers some love Chris! My home field and where I learned to fly about 30 years ago!

@Thercgeek Год назад

It’s a great spot, but the runway needs some serious work.

@cliffdavis3247 Год назад

@@Thercgeek can't argue with that!

@davidgerlach1132 5 месяцев назад

Hey Chris. Been a member at Chollas on-off for 25 years. Great airspace, but rollercoaster runway. They finally started working on it last month and good progress has been made. Great flying!

@Thercgeek 5 месяцев назад

I heard about that, that’s exciting news! That’ll really transform chollas, it was a great space to fly, but yeah that runway was rough, haha

@addictedtobedrock5282 Год назад

I told myself that I’m done buying planes for awhile……that was last month. Although, that is one super cool plane, thanks. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

@Thercgeek Год назад

Well, last month was forever ago… 🤣🤣

Nice flight with the G650 man awesome work. Now you just need the new 700 series that's coming out soon and the baby 400 :) then you will be complete

@davidsnyder238 Год назад

I think you might be a little big to fit in tgat one Chris! Gotta start somewhere! The J65 is a beautiful model.

@mikenowland2739 Год назад

Geek is da biz 👍

awesome

@JeffsCustomRC Год назад

Great video Chris!! Hope to maiden mine soon, would love to see a video on the gyro set up, I could get it to twitch, but couldn’t figure out how to turn in and off with my spektrum radio, so went a different route, thanks for sharing 👊🏼👊🏼

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thanks! It wasn’t too bad, just need to follow the diagram in the instructions to get everything plugged in and then assign the channel the gyro is plugged into to a switch. I won’t work otherwise if it’s not assigned to a switch.

@Mikeylikesit1968 Год назад

It does really nice scale half power takeoffs. I get so crazy sometimes by retracting the gear right when the wheels break ground

@Thercgeek Год назад

That’s awesome!

@wtfmimshag Год назад

Hey Chris check out the diameter on the exhaust of those nacelles. By my calcs they are nudging over 100% FSA. Easy model to fit some thrust tubes in.

@Thercgeek Год назад

yeah, they are a bit on the large side for sure.

@WrightBrosRC Год назад

Hi Chris, for a large jet with gyro, it seems to have some stability issues? I use multi cams and the 360 cam extensively with my flights and understand the trimming needs when mounting on board cams. The empennage was squirming a bit, maybe with the weight of the cam? Looking forward to more flights and in depth review. Thx!

@Thercgeek Год назад

The airplane is super stable, especially with the gyro. What you’re seeing are the surfaces moving around a bit. The wing does have some flex and the weight of the cam on the tail was making it move around more than usual. I tried to stabilize a little more in post which ended up stabilizing the horizon resulting in the airplane shaking more than it actually is.

@scottyd035ntknow Год назад

Im itching for a new jet and might get this one simply because no danger of sucking rocks into the inlets. I fly off a steamrolled gravel field but its hell on EDFs and I keep a stock of spare fans.

@Thercgeek Год назад

It’s a great configuration for that And a really sweet flyer

@richardvacanti9428 6 месяцев назад

How much does something like this cost with everything included like the remote control and batteries

@trainroomgary Месяц назад

👍Very cool demo - What cameras do you have on the aircraft and what is holding them in place. Thanks - Gary from The Flying Pilgrims RC Club, Michigan ✈

@Thercgeek Месяц назад

I’m just using runcam2’s. They work pretty well and are lower profile than some others which I like.

@trainroomgary Месяц назад

Thanks for the tip - I been using the GoPro Max & Black Box Mobius Pro Mini. 1/4 scales airplanes. @@Thercgeek

@I_am_archie Год назад

Really cool plane, great job flying too. You have some made skills. Was runway rash noticable?

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thanks! The tip rash isn’t bad, holds up well even with that really rough runway.

@I_am_archie Год назад

@@Thercgeek nice! That run way was rough. Good test for the suspension.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Yeah, testing real good, haha!

@canamwing6999 Год назад

Cool! I hope one day someone makes the Global Express.

@Thercgeek Год назад

That’s nice looking too. Very similar to the g650

@canamwing6999 Год назад

The wing is more complex on a Global express. I can see why they went with the G560. No leading edge flaps to recreate.

@1966Hemi426 6 месяцев назад

Is anyone using a aileron/rudder mix with this jet? If so, how do you like it?

@MrWagner528 Год назад

Hi Chris, What field were you at just out of curiosity?

@Thercgeek Год назад

This was out at the chollas field. Cool airspace, but that runway was rough, haha!

@dont6441 Год назад

Man, that is one rough runway.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Yes it is, haha! Putting those gear to the test. 🤣

@Sabadoctor Год назад

Do you mind telling us what type of on board cameras those were?

@Thercgeek Год назад

They are RunCam2’s.

@Sabadoctor Год назад

Thank you very much. And I keep up the great work!!

@aerospacematt9147 Год назад

That’s a pretty model! Now you can walk around in a suit and tie and show off your private business jet!

@Thercgeek Год назад

Haha, totally!

@akbar5083 Год назад

Man, how long is the fuselage?

Fuse length is about 70” (1768mm)

Yep, this was at the chollas flying field.

With afterburners you'd probably be able to break Mach 1, but you might spill some champagne!

@simonpells7405 Год назад

Almost impossible to land without scraping the wings on the ground.Beautiful model though.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Haha, yeah those tips are pretty low to the ground. The winds weren’t helping. 😬

@user-zb4yj3cj2d Год назад

힘이상당 해보입니다?

@Thercgeek Год назад

Power is pretty good IMO. It cruises nicely at partial throttle but has good power if you need it.
