The E-Flite SR-71 Blackbird is a scaled down radio control version of the iconic spy plane of the 60s. Known for an incredible top speed and maximum ceiling, the Blackbird is a historic aircraft. When a radio controlled version became available, I had to snag it for myself. Over the course of the last few months I have spent a good amount of time flying this plane and thought there were some things that you should know if you have been thinking about picking this up for yourself and flying it for the first time.

Would you fly this plane? Let me know! 🔽

@zenzfpv6304 Месяц назад

i think its too snall for the price

@Hangar14RC Месяц назад

@@zenzfpv6304thats fair! I paid less for my 70mm Vulcan from Freewing and it flies amazing. Has retracts, flaps, and rudder

There is no way in hell I am shelling out $250 for a foam plane. It's gear only to me put into plane shaped packing material. Yours is already starting to look ratty with the paint falling away from the wing tip.

When FW or E-flite come out with a dual 64mm or 70mm SR-71 that can takeoff from grass, I will buy it and fly it. I did fly my own scratch-built dual 70mm EDF SR-71 twice, but my skills were not good enough to make it light enough to takeoff from grass routinely. Come on FW/E-flite - build one we can fly off grass!

@Greendot319 Месяц назад

Just maidened mine, the model is undeniably an incredible achievement, never seen such a beautiful well thought out scale model, however it is an absolute DOG 😂 it wallows around with the gyro desperately trying to stop it from going belly up, the stall nearly went into a flat spin. It is just too underpowered for what it is and not much fun to fly, needs a few hundred Watts more and it would be incredible! I guess the V2 will be what this model could be! Still love it though! Who would have imagined 20 years ago we'd have a model like this!

@fullrodizio Месяц назад

I was excited to see the announcement of the SR-71, however, it needed to be 2x larger with dual 64mm on 6s.

@Hangar14RC Месяц назад

That would be awesome!

@rcman4.2flyboy Месяц назад

It does need the power crashed mine 3x still cool

What a perfect video!! The RC Community needs more in depth reviews and honesty with its planes. Can't wait to see the next episode!

@Hangar14RC Месяц назад

Thank you! I agree. Not every plane is going to be perfect and that's okay!

@pharaohvwe2475 Месяц назад

I have about a dozen flights on mine and around the 5th flight I just started removing the cones. They just pull out and def increase the speed of the model. Helps in turns as well with the weight savings

@comradekerman4189 Месяц назад

If you dip the nose-cone in boiling (or really really hot tap) water, the pitot tube straightens itself out and stays straight. The SR-71 was designed to fly stable at supersonic speeds, not subsonic. Scaling it down is definitely going to cause issues. Ya, this model is challenging to fly, but that is what makes it so much fun! I will never take my cones off! I love that no one else at my field is able to fly this plane, lol!!!

Really appreciate your reviews .Your explanations are clear as your videos.Keep going !

@Hangar14RC 20 дней назад

Thanks a lot!

@hifinsword 10 дней назад

Great presentation and thanks. I'd love to have one, but my club field is grass. Maybe Freewing will come out with a dual 64mm EDF version of a Blackbird like they did with the F-14? That would be sweet!

@RCPhysics Месяц назад

Great review. I'm on the fence on this aircraft. I LOVE the look but am worried that there are probably more "fun" planes available for the same money. But it looks so cool! 😎

@rondaniels9974 7 дней назад

Replace the intake cones with profile pieces?

@rockyprivratsky5692 Месяц назад

Not my favorite flying EDF. Both this and the 40mm F-14 were kind of a let down for me. I’m in Colorado. So, I pretty much can only take off from the runway, and it takes a longer roll to finally get off the ground. Again, both Eflite 40mm EDFs need a paved runway and that was a pretty big downer for me not being able to hand launch it. Just not enough power at my altitude. Yes, this bird is a challenge every flight and I find consistent breeze to flight into for landing and takeoff is helpful.

i so love you as an ex RAF guy this makes me as an ex ligtnining bloke remember werrember

Sooo a tail rudder mod and a intake mod maybe a rear drag wheel

Lovely model. I'd never fly it. Hard pass.

@looneytunes47 13 дней назад

Known as the tiny black turd cant keep orientation of it if you get to slow it just falls out of the sky has horrible flight times....Definately one of eflite,s worst planes of all time
