Horizon hobby is on a roll this year with all the good planes that have come out. I hope it will stay the same for the rest of the year.

Congratulations on the new additions to the family dad! And thanks so much for showing them to us! The kittens are irresistible. On that note, what you and Megan have put together as a YouTube channel is just amazing and I heartily congratulate both of you on it. I realize that it requires an incredible amount of work to put these videos together. And it seems you do a new one almost every week. Honestly, I can't imagine how you do it. And you say you have four children as well! Wow!
I was once a private pilot, never an RC pilot, but I built and flew control line models as a kid and I greatly appreciate watching you do the foam builds and fly them. I have watched a bunch of RC videos and Megan's are by far the best I've ever seen.
I believe she deserves any and all the credit any of us can bestow on her. I realize that the videos are edited. But she never misses a shot. Even very challenging close, fast, low flybys, she nails. During the builds, she nails closeups in very tight, squeezed-in spaces to help the viewers understand what's going on. That's never easy.
And she may not fly RC planes but she understands them, aircraft and aerodynamics very well. She keeps track of parts, plans, where you are in the build, all the bits necessary to make sure the build happens. On top of all that, the space you build in is always absolutely spotless! Maybe you do all that cleaning and picking up of the living space, but I'm guessing she has something to do with that too.
So. It seems that Megan is a HUGE factor in the success of your channel. And rightly so. What I would like to ask you to consider is to give Megan some face time in front of the camera occasionally. I don't think I am the only one of your 97, 000 subcribers that would appreciate seeing more than her hands. No offense intended, but I feel like I know more about your cats than I do about Megan. Please let us meet her face-to-face sometime. The two of you are the Dynamic Duo of RC YouTube Videos without a doubt. Why not let us celebrate Megan as well as you? Thanks for reading such a long-winded comment and request.

Brian, your camera crew has me spoiled rotten. I can't even watch some of the other reviews anymore. You two are quite a team and I do appreciate it!

[wingsab]

OMG. Thank you for zooming in after the crash. V1 would exploded beyond recognition at that approach. I'm sold. V2 is solid

[samhatchwork]

Just wanted to say, all the way from Australia!...that your step by step process has been such a great help to me, just getting started with RC planes. Thanks so much for doing what you do. I know me, and so many other appreciate it...your wife is awesome, and your enthusiasm shines through! Keep it up mate :)

[Mrkmcc]

Brian I thank you and your wife very much for putting the time into this vid. I've just used it to set my A10 up. Can't wait to fly it tomorrow. Wish you done more thorough vids like this for many more planes. Cheers, Mark. UK.

Hi Brian, I've been flying RC since 1973 and you are the only "RC Social Media Influencer" that I will watch. Your camera crew is a saint also because my better half does not agree with your decorating tastes. :) Your camera crew also does a great job shooting the video and playing off your dialog. Well done both of you and keep it up.

[kevinlee]

Your camera crew, she does a fantastic job capturing all your wonderful flying! Also amazing was when the camera panned up and you got that huge flock of birds!

[Spacextasy]

Brian! I can’t wait for warmer weather…. You are the man!

[johnhersom]

center tone on the throttle stick has been throwing me the last couple days...I haven't been able to figure it was listening to this video in the background and I heard you mention this setting is in the timer....I can't wait to try and disable that when I get off work....You're the man

[SanDiegoUteFan]

Brian, your flying skills are nothing short of AMAZING. I have been flying since 2016, and if I tried flying like you did here... it would be a one and done!!!

[ricksmith]

thank you two for what ya'll do. Both of you show us how to have fun with this hobby. No one else does that.

[timbacchus]

Love the whistle of the engines. You have to have real good eye sight to see that one flying.

[DetoursRC]

Finally got the nerve up to hand launch mine again after my first failed attempt. Did it in TALL grass this time. No crash and had a successful flight and landing. What a blast! My first time flying an edf! That thing is fast and I love how it slows down too.

[marcoreviews]

For a second there I thought you were going to fly in formation with the geese! That was some epic flying!

[rsc]

Nice review. Your videos are consistently the most knowledgable of the current crop of Banggood & Horizon reviewers.

[DanielCValot]

HI Brian, big thanks to you and your wife for all these videos.
Great video, I really like plaque behind you on the shelf in the kitchen!
I am going to buy this jet.
I really liked the video on the ASW 17, that I am buying very soon!
Thank you for all you videos, they are all so full and exacting, well done my friend!

[terminalpsychosis]

One of my favoite vids, not only for the awesome flying, but the totally in-depth controller setup walkthrough.
Very good tip with needing more space with SAFE on. I don't even have the landing gear on mine. Glued some small teflon strips on the bottom for rough surface landing.
Little thing is a ROCKET on 3S. Will not hover at all though. Flying a super powerful brick. ;-)

Honestly camera crew makes video taping these things look easy! Good job camera crew, you are a great camera woman!
