What Makes an RC Plane GOOD? 

My favorite day of the week has finally come! 😁

Twisted hobby’s kits are the absolute bomb. Yea they’re expensive and you can scratch build one or buy some other brand cheaper. Been there, done that. but dude. It’s so worth it. The crack yak lite flies like a dream. I purpose-designed and scratch built my own foamy to fly just like that back in the day but I spent many hours doing it. When I flew the crack yak lite and realized it flew just the way I wanted with 1/3 of the build time I was hooked. West Michigan park flyers are pretty awesome too. Though slightly less refined in the build and fitment category, their yak 55 flies killer. And it still builds straight pretty dang easy.

“Elevators and wings on axis with the prop make for the best 3D planes”. *Flex Innovations:* you see that literal cargo plane? Bet that’d make a great Edge 540 replacement

This man is the prophet of rc jesus

Another excellent video! I am triggered by your remarks on GeeBees! You are wrong wrong wrong! Lol ;) ... I can't wait for the next video. Thanks for the awesome content, keep up the great work.

amazing as always! the opposite of last weeks video is so funny 😂😂

Classic content! I typically build my own Flite Test kits, and buy other kinds of planes 2nd hand. I prefer foam because I know how to repair it. I do have a covering iron, but I've never built a balsa plane, so I don't have all the other tools.

"Nose over a Twimber"😆

these two videos really go together well, great choice. And as for planes with big tails and big feet, check out the XB-36.

I❤❤❤❤Katana's can't get enough of em.

Thanks for the Big Altima Energy reference!

Thanks for the great video!

Love your content!!!

I have defntly learnd a feaw things from this video ...thanks guys

Nice one guys. Thanks.

Excellent recommendations!

As always a very enjoyable video!

These videos are awesome and makes me always want to get more RC planes! Love your vids!

I think that the og funcub is the beast of the planes .love you guys ❤

Another great video.

Wait a minute,, the Bushmaster is you favorite plane,, hell yeah mine to

Great video good info 😊✈🛩🛫🛬🛩✈🪂👍👍👍

Thank you for responding to the arrows Bigfoot comment and this video will help me with my question

Thanks tail heavy 👍

Can’t wait for Saturdays now

EEEEEEEE🗣️🗣️🔥🔥 0:17

Great video. Can I get more details on the white Fun Cub you were hovering? That looks right up my ally

Thanks for the nice video again! Is that telemaster one from the old days, where is was original a gas one? I am building one which was from my dad but he never finished it like 20 years ago. The problem is it was original a gas one and I want to make it electric, like in the video, what parts would u guys prefer me to get? (I think the wingspan is like 1.8m)

I definitely have the collecting habit

if I miss a single tail heavy video I will bleed from every orifice in my face and die.

I’ve been flying for two years

Seen the opening, & thot y'all was gonna say the twimber! Hahahaha!

Twimber is a bit heavy, but it's great on floats

All new pilots need to watch this channel, it’s one of the few that give it to you straight.

(aggressively begins taking notes for custom RC design)

Triggered from the implied overweight Hangar 9 cub. Still have mine, and that thing loves to glide!

I'm currently building a balsa wood scuffed replica of the Murphy moose.... Sadly components are expensive so it's just a very expensive model lol

JAJAJAJAAJAJ PLANES HAVE FEELINGS TOO!

I always laugh at your amazing videos.. this one broke a record 😂10 seconds in I was ROLLING 😂 You guys make Saturdays that much better 🙌

OH the pain, the pain!!! 😂😂

Loved your bad airplane video. I wish it was out before I bought that horrid FliteTest Freedom Fox... you know... the one that Trent gushed over... and turned out to be the worse rc plane I've ever had. No debbie downer thoughts here... just gratitude.

Whats the best shockflyer i can buy Mr Tailheavy?

I don't fly rc and i am not a pilot. These videos have made me learn so much about both. I am an aviation enthusiast and enjoy flight simulators. This channel has made me understand plane physics, anatomy and geometry so well. Love it! Thanks!

always 👍

When wing loading gets too low they don’t glide at all which isn’t fun.

Oh great god of rc mr tailheavy... How do i find the center of gravity on an F3H demon... There's none on the blueprints.. i looked everywhere!!!

There is more to flying toys than just aerobatics.

The dog clip is the best!!!!

I would add another one: The airplane flies well, regardless of battery placement. You can see this with many great airplanes such as the FunCub or Timber!

i'm building a 4 foot smt wingspan cessna 172 skyhawk with my dad rn

Still lovin my twinber👍😂😂

I clicked the discord link but the only sever listed is the “server rules”

Now I wanna buy a new plane…

The kaos. Is incradabel. Airplane

I look forward to a new Tail Heavy video every week, and they never disappoint. Nobody combines yuks with aviation theory and honest reviews like the TH team. One question: Who makes the Ki-61Hein warbird that keeps popping up in your videos?

I’m Ryan and I need your help. My dream when I was younger was to fly Rc airliners but I could never afford it. Now I’m 15 and I’m saving up for the al37 from motion Rc. I asked another RU-vidr jays Rc garage if I should get it and he said I should get one more plane that had retracts and flaps before I dive into airliners. I previously flew the apprentice s which I mastered on experience mode, the umx timber original, the twin otter umx, the champ, and I flew the umx citation a little bit. Do you think I should get the al37? I already bought a livery for it but I don’t know if I should commit to purchasing the airliner along with an nx6, a 6s lipo and a receiver. I have the dx63 but Nx6 is way better from what I’ve heard you say and I like how it talks to you. I really want your opinion. If you don’t think I should get the al37 what’s another plane I should get before I move up to the airliner? I was thinking maybe the viper v2 from fms but I trust your judgement way more than mine.

I lived long enough to see a C-74 Globemaster show up in a THP video!!

2:00 "Mach Jesus" 😂😂😂

My father is parting with balsa planes he built years ago and never flew. I'm hoping you'd be interested in visiting Skagit County to purchase at a fair deal to you - potential content for this fantastic channel? I helped him ebay 30 kits that went very well. Eight planes left, hanging in garage..

Why did the jonkler do that, is he restarted?

😁👍

😀

😎😎😎😎😎

You guys man 🤣

Day one of asking for a free fun cub og

Hi

Im watching this while figuring out why THE FUCK my Autonomous scratchbuild (first Fc build) absolutly fucked itself into the ground. During the "quality components" part I found out my Spectrum servo broke. like, its not that their 10 bucks a piece, like I broke 2 or 3 by now and 6 of the goo' ol' hxt 900 servos cost the same and never broke on me. Fuck this! This is completly accurate for ESC's though, cheap ones suck.

I like the comment on keep it light 👍

Lots of different Makers? They all come from the same sweat shop in China.

Highwing Hobby would not approve of you making fun of their twimber.. 😅🤣😂

Sig Four Star. 20, 40, 52, 60, 64, 120. Kit/arf electric/glow/gas all winners

gyro required? wtf... ive been out of the hobby for a few years. well, a lot of years. stopped flying when gyros were the new thing. but wtf? are there planes that require one to fly ???

Love the Green flags

Try empennage instead of short tail

Why are F3A pattern planes the ugliest planes around? I'd rather have a Corsair than any pattern plane.

I feel so out of touch for scratch building my planes out of balsa and they aren’t miniature versions of full scale planes…

don't rc people know the world is 3D, kind of pointless to have some category call 3D

Send pics of your mom and I will!

Whoever said this channel is pee pee is poo•poo²

not even 1m20sec in and fckn ads... wow. now THAT is negative! unlike this channel, wich is just down to earth humourisly great!

This hobby just was never fun and never got me flying RC was a waste of money I switched to flying sims instead which just work

Can I get a free plane pls i live in Moldova and I can not buy one I-am 14😢
