RQ-7 SHADOW - A wildly unique RC Airplane 

I’ll be getting the names wrong indefinitely 😂

@@Jays_rcgarage No problem Jay, we'll keep ya honest! thanks for the mention. It was a fun project! can't wait to see the bomb drops!

Elerudders not ruddervators

@@vbear6983 no ruddervator...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-tail

​@@tomhuntFPV for rq-7 specifically they are elerudders

🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼

Looks right with the mods and not weird like it did without!

Totally agree!

A UMX style would be iconic ! Don’t know of any though !

It should be available on legendhobby.com .. if not.. it will be soon

Legend Hobby is going to have them for sale once the model comes in!

There were a few small things the factory had to change. The original canopy was screws and now they are magnetic. A few things in the build instructions as well. I’m sure it’s about to be released though !

Hope this doesn't upset you since you didn't ask me. I found the best way to get good at landing is simply practice. Rather than flying around,just keep flying barely off the ground and immediately land,over and over. Also try to fly high once,and test out your stall speed,see how much throttle yours needs to just barely keep from stalling. I would also consider looking up some tips for landing from actual pilots,there is a term some use called "catching the pillow". It doesn't happen as well on RCs, but normally when flying,if you were to intentionally try to hit the ground,there is a bit of push back that makes it feel like it doesn't want to go down when flying straight. Low throttle,low descent speed,come up to runway and ride it down, right before touchdown,raise nose and drop throttle to below stall speed. Rather than flying onto the runway,you should be stalling onto runway while you're nose is pointing up. Practice this over and over and in no time,you'll be spreading Butter every time. I'd still love to see him do a video on it though. I also hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by sharing my two cents. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Buy a VTOL, like a HeeWing T1 or similar. Once you get a good feel for the controls, then start working at horizontal landings. If anything goes wrong at any point, just switch into hover and try again. Or you can just buy a cheap foamy and lots of glue.

@@tacticalFPV I have no idea why, but yt censored your comment. I can only see it in notifications. You said nothing worthy of censorship,so I assume you are often sharing your truthful opinions,and they must often go against "The Narrative",and I for one respect the hell out of that.

@@normalhuman9260 weird yt doesn’t approve of me, guess I’m doing it right lol. I recommend the OP to look at the small foam vtol planes, they take off and land like a quadcopter, super easy, and you can practice normal landings and if anything goes wrong you can just switch to vtol mode and avoid the crash.

@@tacticalFPV OMG they censored you again! You must really be spreading truth and the American spirit.

Yes sir 🤝

yes it is. 42 years!

retired in Sept of 21, now I help guys like Jay!

@@tomhuntFPV I was on E2-D Advanced Hawkeye from 2003 through 2007 In Bethpage, I remember you sir.

@@itzjoeylo4501Nice, those were busy times. I was off in the Netherlands in 2006 and 2007 doing the wind tunnel testing on the "D".

Not yet. Was having issue with spektrum with HEADTRACKING. Switched to radiolink and working through the kinks now. Hopefully done this week and posting with I get back from Joe Nall

@@Jays_rcgarage looking forward to seeing it👍🏼

Long Island, NY 😂

Radiomaster actually reached out to me in the past to review the flight controllers. I may try this ..

@Jays_rcgarage get a SpeedyBee F405 wing flight controller its around 50$, and with the radio master radio get some thing long range like the new bandit transmitter its 100 bux plus 25 bux for receiver and your set for long range and RTH if you get a GPS if you need any help i would be happy to help 😀

I am a civilian, and I own the RC plane in the thumbnail 🔥

@@Jays_rcgarage saying that makes it seem like it's a military drone that civilians wouldn't normally own. It's a RC plane that anyone can own.

1 & 4 are correct. 3 is wrong, you buy the ELECTRIC wooden prop. More efficient, you will have better thrust and longer run times. Yes, we will need the correct ratio.. Wayne and Jeff did the math and 16x6 is the solution. Up 1” in diameter and down 1 in pitch. Thanks for watching 👍🏼😎

@@Jays_rcgarage If you knew more about 4, you'd realise 2 is correct.....🤔😏

@@EnglishTurbines I agreed with 2.

Don’t crash… kidding !! lol fly the plane all the way to the floor. Elevator and play with the throttle to keep it up till you are just about ready for that final flare !
