Robbe Skyflex 2000 90s RC Hang Glider!!! 

Wow that is amazing 👏🏼 😍 I bet it was fun tho trying to fly it 🤣🤣🤣it is because of you early guys that we have what we have today respect and thank you ❤️❤️❤️I fly with a friend who used to have to make his receivers as their was no such thing haha I am guessing you did the same? Amazing listening to him and what he had to do to try to fly ❤️❤️❤️

Ahh that sounds amazing a real one what a lovely thing to do if you have the balls 🤣🤣I don't think I would tbh 🤣🤣🤣this thing is amazing bud and especially as it was made in the 90s. It was always electric but brushed and gutless. They do come up for sale on ebay and marketplace sometimes but you have to be quick as they go straight away. I also have a rc paraglider which is just as amazing but is a pain to keep all the strings untangled and to launch it well that is another story 🤣🤣🤣I have posted a very vids back on it if ya wanna check it out. Thanks for watching Alan I am with you on building one wow that would take a lot of time and skill to do. Fair play if you can do it but that is way above my level 🤣🤣🤣have a great day Alan Adam 👍🏼

If you build a scale model you could glue the sail instead of sewing 🪡🧵 X !!! 😉🙃😎

Hey Bill it really is so much fun I really love it. Didn't know what to expect but it is so cool. Thx for watching my friend 👍🏼

Ahh that is cool thank you Deane my friend. I really hope ali see this and start pumping them out cheap. If they can do the paramotor cheap then they can easily do these. A micro one of these would be amazing ❤❤❤ this vid has really caught so many people's attention all over the world it is bonkers haha been on yt 8 years and my most watched vid was 16 k in 8 years 😮this one has done 22k in 3 weeks 😂😂😂😂😎thanks for watching and commenting my friend it really means a lot ❤ all the best from the uk 🇬🇧 Adam 👊🏼

Ahh that is awesome bud. Unfortunately these and most rc shops are now non existent ☹️thanks for watching my friend 👍🏼

Haha awesome bud. I got this used and it was already converted but it flies perfect on 22003s I never went full throttle lol didn't need it. I will add some leds and if possible get a smoke bomb on it for a summer float about ❤️❤️❤️I didn't think of 3d printed parts for this. My little clip that holds the rod on has broken. As you say they are so old now. Old but gold I say 🤣🤣🤣thanks for watching my friend 👍🏼

Haha brilliant bud 😂😂😂it does seem to fly well tbf to it I was just not sure what to expect haha great bit of kit. What was it in the 90s brushed motor and nicad battery? Very cool I really like it ❤❤❤

Ahh that is so cool to hear my friend thank you for the info and hope it brought back a good memory for you flying with ya Dad ❤️❤️❤️ this video has really got a lot of attention for some reason I think it is because they are very rare now and of course brushless was not a thing when they was about. I also have a paraglider which is not old but also amazing fun to fly. I will fly them both together 1 day with my friend and hopefully add some lights to this to fly it at dusk ❤️❤️❤️thanks for watching my friend all the best from the UK 👍🏼 Adam

Hey bud I am praying China sees this and churns out copies lol they are doing the paramotors now cheap as chips so fingers crossed 👌🏼😎

Thank you my friend it really is lovely to fly ❤️❤️❤️ I didn't know what to expect but it is so good ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

Really wow I thought they was late 90s very cool it was early 90s 👌🏼it does seem fragile and very easy to break or ripp it unfortunately. Amazing their are still any around tbf. I am just going to treat it like a baby and enjoy it. I am going to add some leds to see it at dusk flying 😎thx for watching and commenting my friend 👍🏼

Thank you Stacy my friend and you are spot on bud this is what it should be about not doing it because they get paid to 👍🏼

Ahh you are a legend Deane ❤❤❤I did get paid once from yt before they changed all the rules 😂😂😂I dont even know why but 1 vid earnt me 20 quid 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️the rest were pennies lol maybe someone used one of the adverts not sure how it works haha whatever happens it will stay real ❤❤❤we kind of just fell into this style mainly because it is real and easy lol straight from head to yt. I did do a bit of editing but man it is time consuming if you are not mr computer which I am not 😂😂we have ideas for vids but never rehearse as you can see 😂😂I think it is better natural and you get those genuine moments. I love feedback and it is great to hear others think the same. I will start sorting some playlists tho as it is hard to find any vids on my channel at mo lol I kind of fell out of love with everything a couple of years back when my dad died but he loved this and would make me carry on ❤❤❤life is so short we gotta live it right Deane ❤❤❤all the best from ya UK brother 👊🏼

Haha thx broski it is so cool man ❤❤❤ takes a lil bit to get used to it but flies really well ❤❤❤look out for leds and some smoke asap 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🤦‍♂️

Haha thanks Jeff it surprised us as well we really didn't know what to expect 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️that is Kai my flying bro, he Paul and Nick hang with me sometimes but they are funny creatures and I only really see them when it is warm. Give Kai his due he does come out when I pester him 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼

Haha it is so cool BB it really flies well. How long before we put leds and add a smoke bomb 🤔🤣🤣🤣👌🏼

Yeah me neither bud I had never seen one. It is a skyflex 2000 by robbe that is its name bud. I love aerobee stuff haha still got my og ring 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏼

Hahaha it is crazy bro so awesome and unique ❤❤❤

Thank you Cooper my friend it really is a cool piece of kit ❤❤❤ hopefully get some leds on it for some dusk flying with my paramotor ❤❤❤👍🏼

That is a clever idea my friend thanks for sharing that tip. I have got the hang of it now as I have it in my head it is a 2 channel it just being so big you immediately think 3 channel maybe 4 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers Jeff I was so happy it flew lol I crashed it 1st time with the steering reversed 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️random marketplace find 👌🏼❤️❤️❤️

Hey Michael good cool bud. I purchased it like this and just wanted to see it fly 😂😂will see if I can get the prop off without damaging anything as it is all old brittle plastic and looks very breakable 😂😂😂👍🏼

Hey bud thank you it really is a great piece of kit and I can't wait to take it out again. The weather here has been horrible so far but it looks better next week ❤️❤️❤️have a great weekend my friend 👍🏼

Hey bud thx for watching ❤️ it really is a great piece of kit I am very impressed ❤️❤️❤️I will add some leds soon and maybe a smoke bomb or 2 would be cool 😎

Saw this in a cataloge? Are you still living in 1982?

@@DS-xg9kf i was living back then and can remember, go figure.

@@Elnufo but that was more than 40years ago. We dont have catalogues any more..

@@DS-xg9kf if you read my initial comment carefully, you might see that i wrote "saw". this is past tense, not present.

❤❤❤love it BMan. I broke it 1st flight had the controls reversed 😂😂😂nick fixed it and off she goes haha what a great piece of kit love it bud ❤❤❤how long before leds and a smoke bomb 🤔🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much my friend ❤❤❤

Haha it really does look real bud really fun to fly ❤️❤️❤️👌🏼

Yo bro thank you man 👊🏼 it was so much fun trying this out and so happy it flee and didn't crash 😂😂😂 I will add leds and some smoke somehow soon ❤❤❤cheers bro 👊🏼

Hey bud thank you. It flies so well I am so impressed ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

Thank you bud I am so happy it flies haha what a crazy machine ❤❤❤

Hello my friend it really is a unique design and very interesting. I am very impressed with it. ❤️❤️❤️thank you for watching and commenting my friend 👍🏼

Haha it is quality Dean I love it bud. It is so random I didn't even know they existed and saw it on marketplace and had to have it 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼

Wouldn't it be cool if someone started remaking them! I certainly see why you had to have it!!!!!

@@deanedeane4318 that would be amazing bud and I see it happening. Ali express may already have one as they are doing the rc paramotors now small medium and large very good prices and they look great. I already have one but mine is different a lot heavier from hobbyking 🔥🔥🔥👌🏼 have a look back a few vids of mine and I am flying it with leds ❤️❤️❤️

Haha it really is so sick bud I love it. Didn't know what to expect but it is so unique ❤️❤️❤️👌🏼

Haha that is exactly what it is like flying a powered kite instead of strings 🤣🤣🤣👌🏼very cool and unique I love it bud and hope it lasts because 1 bad crash and it will be good night 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️👍🏼

Thank you my friend it is really awesome ❤❤❤

Thank you my friend. It really is an awesome bit of technology from the 90s 😮❤️❤️❤️

Haha brilliant my friend what a great piece of kit ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

Hey bud thank you. It is really fun and flies better than I hoped it would ❤️❤️❤️hope to get some leds on soon for a night flight 👌🏼👍🏼

Thank you my friend yes it could get taken away by thermals you are right but it does have quite a bit of power now I have a different motor in it. Thank you for watching my friend ❤️❤️❤️

Haha it flies bro 😂😂😂amazing bit of kit very funky and one crash and it is a mess but wow what a laugh 😂😂😂 leds and smoke coming soon 🔥🔥🔥👌🏼

​@propgear5439 that will be fantastic 👌 😀😀

Haha yeah it is total overkill and can't really go over half throttle but it definitely gave it a kick up the bum 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼

🤣🤣🤣awesome my friend. Is yours still stock? Wake it up if it is and add a brushless setup 🔥🔥🔥👍🏼

🤣🤣🤣sorry to hear that bud. I had mine set up with reverse ailerons and it crashed and broke it haha lucky I know a man who van fix stuff haha not me I am useless 🤣🤣🤣I hope it brought back a funny memory even if it did crash 🤣🤣🤣❤️

@@propgear123 mine had the original motor.. it was waaaay to underpowered.. me and my brother tried to hack it by chopping off bits of plastic.. the nose and prop guard was chopped off.. crashed it and broke the prop.. my brother wanted to superglue the prop.. it went as well as one would think.. he got a prop shaped cut on his hand.. we werent bright.. still aint.. well he aint atleast.. i should still have that red wing thing somewhere.. my god robbe was a cool company.. i bought this 4 prop havilland dash 7.. i loved it.. just powerful enough to taxi fast.. not to fly

@@flying-oyvinator haha great story bud love it 🤣🤣🤣the things we do to try to make something fly haha. You should try make it fly again but brushless ❤️❤️❤️that was what held everything back wasn't it weak batteries and motors. Now they are brushless and lipos the game has changed for so much better. Also 2.4 was a game changer ❤️❤️❤️love this hobby and wish we still had all those cool companies. Horizon has purchased a lot of them and theu have vanished sadly. The hobby seems to be really popular again at the moment with all the new drone pilots they are seeing planes and having a go ❤️❤️❤️

Haha brilliant Marcus my friend enjoy it ❤️❤️❤️what a great piece of fun I love it 👍🏼

Hey bud it really is something else to fly so cool and unique I really hope the Chinese see it and ali express strat churning them out like they have the paramotors ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

@@propgear123 I agree It would be cool to own one. I have the G2V2 Gyrocopter and that is a blast to fly because its different. I also had a Paramotor but gave it as a donation to RCReviewer's channel.

@@tughillrc6327 aha the gtv2 I nearly got 1 bud but saw loads of fail vids and decided not to bother yet haha still on the fence 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

@@propgear123 If you balance the blade and remember this is a rudder happy aircraft that requires altitude it flies great. I love the way it lands. You have to remember it is not a airplane. Its a mix chopper/plane so it fly's like it.

@@tughillrc6327 yeah I see that it was a cross between the 2. As I haven't had a proper heli I don't think this is for me yet but it looks and sounds so cool I think it is inevitable we end up with 1 🤣🤣🤣👌🏼

Hey bud it was originally brushed motor and nicad haha now it is brushless and lipo 🔥🔥🔥I think they flew back in the day but not very well as they lacked the power to get out of trouble and most crashed and burned 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

Thank you my friend it really is a lot of fun ❤️❤️❤️thank you for your support it really means a lot ❤️❤️❤️

Hey bud thank you. I purchased it used already upgraded and haven't really looked lol 2200 3s is the charm I know that much haha I will look and let you know my friend. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Hey bud that is cool you have elevator 👌🏼I set mine up same as a plane ailerons are the left and right but it is confusing because I had it set up what I thought looked the correct way but they was reversed. When you set it up when you press left the kite will move a bit right which seems wrong but that is the correct way for it. I can do a video showing you if you like it may be easier 👍🏼

Thank you my friend ❤️ it is very simple but wow so effective. I am very impressed with it and hope I don't crash it for a long time 🤣🤣🤣thank you for watching my friend 👍🏼

Hey bud technically no coz I flew it for 2 seconds and crashed it lol but this was its 1st proper flight bud yes and wow what a cool bit of kit and from the 90s!!! Very impressive and will add leds and some smoke hopefully one day 👍🏼

Hello my friend. If you mean plans to build one then I am not sure. This was a rtf from the shops in the late 1990s and not a kit. Someone may have done a kit version before and if they have you will have better luck finding them on an rc forum like rcgroups.com and ask on their. You can keep a look out on ebay or marketplace etc this is where I purchased this one used ❤️❤️❤️thanks for watching my friend 👍🏼

Thank you for the info my friend. I knew it wasn't technically a hang glider. Do you know if they called it a hang glider or a regallo in the sales ad? Thanks for watching my friend ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

Yeah it maybe bud but I have seen a few yt vids and they all sound the same 🤣🤣🤣the plastic canopy and airframe don't help. I got it like this and so don't know if it always was like this but it flies so I am happy for now. Will try and balance the prop see if it improves it a bit 👍🏼thanks for watching bud

Hey Thomas you will only find these used on ebay or marketplace as they don't make them anymore unfortunately. I am hoping ali express see this and start making cheap copies soon 👍🏼thx for watching my friend ❤️❤️❤️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Great review bud 🤣🤣🤣it does look as brittle as fk not gonna lie haha already broken it once 🤣🤣🤣thing is fun but how long it lasts is anyone's guess haha cheers for watching bud 👍🏼

🤣🤣🤣me too on 1st flight lol I had steering reversed and in she went. Broke one of the rods. My bud helped me fix it and this was the 2nd flight haha so happy to not crash it 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼

Yes I was worried but it flies really well I am so happy thank you for watching my friend ❤️❤️👍🏼

Hello my friend. This is a very old model from the late 1990s they are not made anymore. You may get lucky and find one on ebay or marketplace used. Thanks for watching my friend 👍🏼

This is from 1993 1994 bud and for its time was probably seen as amazing. It was originally a brushed motor and nicad battery's so would of been even slower than this haha tbf it is not made for speed it is just like a kite with no string just a motor for power. I think it is brilliant for its time but agree it is not for everyone. Thanks for watching my friend 👍🏼

@@propgear123 Just kidding! Robbe is a famous brand, what they produce is very okay. This is a strange plane / hang glider.

@@voornaam3191 haha it is as you say tho bud a strange thing but unique and still fun. I have seen a few robbe things and they did some great stuff. This thing is going to have leds and a smoke bomb added soon 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
