There are so many RC Airplanes available these days, and when I found out HobbyKing now stocks XFLY I had to give one a try. This Alpha 80mm has so much potential and although my review got cut short due to pilot error.. I will definitely be fixing it and flying this cool RC Jet a lot more! Plenty of things to love from that amazing landing gear to the crazy power that 2200kv 80mm EDF pushes out on 6s. I need this back in my hangar ASAP!

Great presentation style Jay. Very entertaining video. Looks like this Alpha jet has very high wing loading with that big of a battery. Need to keep it going pretty fast to prevent stalling. That inverted turn was too slow to begin with and as soon as you pushed the elevator, the plane stalled.

I like it very much. It's a trainer mostly, but a real jet. Quite peaceful but agile. The current machine of La Patrouille de France. Such a graceful aircraft for this tricks. If you look for more agressive but with a similar geometry (and same gear principle) have a look at the Mirage F1, very nasty bird.. Thank you for the video, you have great skills, the model looks so realistic. Also you have access to a nice runway and awesome landscape.

doing an inverte that far and in a turn is the worst idea someone can have, acro should be always performed in front of the pilot. also seemed a little to slow, may some more throttle from the beginning could have save it. luckily seems to be an easy fix for a great flying airplane

@brendanhartnett8201
@brendanhartnett8201 5 месяцев назад
I've destroyed one as well... This little guy demands respect as stalls are a bit snappy. Just don't get slow (not all jets are meant for the "high-alpha" game). Recommendations/things to look for: 1) I'm not a fan of the WAAAY too long battery leads from the ESC, so I trimmed mine down by a good 6 inches. I use the EXACT same battery (charged to HV/4.35) as you used and when removing it (on the day the jet met its demise) I noticed the leads/connectors were HOT, as in uncomfortable to hold for more than a couple of seconds, and this was using EC5 to EC5 (I don't recommend the EC5 to XT90 as they are NOT an exact fit and can lead to disaster... there's threads on RCG that discuss this exact issue). The caps on the ESC were cooking (and I have slight burnt foam where they were in contact with the canopy to prove it). I have another Alpha NIB but am considering adding a beefier ESC and start with batts charged to 4.20 to check heat before going muy loco at 4.35 again, even though all my other EDFs seem content with 4.35 power... 2) Main landing gear, while great in function, seem to be a bit tight on their tolerances, so watch for binding that starts to keep the gear from smoothly rotating 90 degrees on retraction. I tried lube, but didn't make enough difference to fix, so I pulled them apart and sanded things and the gear was happy again. YMMV. 3) I heard you mention "I didn't cycle the gear" when you had the gear stay down after takeoff #2. I have the same PITA issue; i.e. the gear servos don't "wake up" on initial power up until you cycle the gear switch once. So I did mine on the ground so things worked properly in flight. Odd and a little annoying, just like the Nav lights strobing instead on the positions lights! 4) Recommend getting rid of DRAG BEFOR LIFT (raise gear THEN flaps, esp. on a high load wing like this guy). Great job on the video, BTW. Well done. Despite all these quirks, I like this little demon and look forward to #2 at some point. Just offering some experience to hopefully help you succeed on your next one!

@txkflier 5 месяцев назад
You might want to get your caliper out and measure the diameter and spacing of the pins on an EC5 and an XT90. They're not the same diameter nor are they the same distance apart, so they don't make 360° contact. Yes, they plug together, but the pins only touch on one side.

You are very good at flying. and know the airplane's limits If I fly just a little bit more The machine will lose control and think that it has fallen and will not be able to recover in time. This airplane is not suitable for beginners. Very dangerous if the turns are narrow curve . I think you tried several times before posting this clip. Aron was a little too fast. I've flown over 700 flights on this model and crashed 6 of them. I think it's just as fun to fly as the Curare 60. this plane is the best of 80 mm EDF

@LuvEvolution7
@LuvEvolution7 5 месяцев назад
Pilot error? Yup. However, that airframe is not stable while inverted. Anhedral wings are typically unstable in inverted flight. That jet did not like going inverted and even at the top of that loop with power off, it was not enjoying that part of the flught envelope. My suggestion is not to fly that thing upside down with lots of power on to get out of it. Even the full size one has to be flown with lots of power while inverted.

It wasn't clear what you said happened, did you get disoriented when you flipped it upside down? Do you think a different paint color skim may have helped? I don't know but this is why I still like to setup a safe and panic mode on my receiver and transmitter because you never know when you need it. Thanks for sharing. I feel your pain my men and at least your wife did not seem too upset, or she had no idea how much it cost.
