When I saw Nate Saylor toss this thing around and look good doing it...I figured I could too. I'm blown away by this plane, it's got such a wide range of capability and looks great doing it too.

That is amazing. This plane looks and flies so well. The slow speed, lights and aerobatics are really something. I've been looking at these for a little bit and this video has convinced me to pull the trigger....😀 btw, this is THE BEST REVIEW videos on the YouTubes... You and Heidi are top Keep it up...

Adam one of best wing designs on any RC plane. Fantastic demo of a great plane. Jeff in LA USA

Absolutely a beautiful plane, I love mine so much I bought Dubro low bounce wheels for it. Removed the front wheel skirt since I fly off a bumpy low cut grass field . I have caught the skirt before on a bump once and bent the gear a little, so good buy skirt. I also upgraded all my servos to full metal gear. It’s one of my Favorite Sport planes and definitely a full package of electronics to play well with my Spektrum NX8 . Awesome demo . My morning coffee channel to start my day . Thanks for sharing. 😊

Once again, great job. Love the no nonsense style of reviews that your channel brings to our community. I don't go for story time or reviewers who talk more about themselves than the model. Lol Normally I skip over civilian type stuff but not when you review them because you easily demonstrate how capable these planes really are.

I know it’s an old video, I am in love with this plane. By the way, those landings.. bravo. I spend a lot of time with RealFlight and this has become one of my favorites.

That is a gorgeous looking scale model. I don't really like tricycle gear (no hard surfaces where I fly) but I still want that Cirrus! The real SR22 is not cleared for any sort of aerobatics so it looks like owners of only 3 cell packs will be just fine if flying scale. I enjoyed the bonus footage, despite how out of scale it was, maybe because of that ... Just a little niggle, when going through the build photos, it would be worth making the point that the prop should only go on after radio set up and testing. Keep up the great work!

Awesome 👍
That evening flight🤩
I want one. But then again. You make me want a lot of planes😂

Adam, this is a really nice scale plane. I have the V1 and liked it on 3s. I know folks love power and i do too, but nothing wrong with flying a scale plane “scale” for folks that like it that way. Now having the new V2 folks get the best of both worlds. That’s what I really admire about Horizon Hobby. They take a nice model like this one and make it even better. I like how a STOL/3d pilot like yourself can put it through non scale maneuvers and not fold the wings. 🤣Haha. Shows the quality of the build too. 💪👍👍

Fantastic review and presentation Adam! I had one of these very early on (the Blue one) and the overall design of the Cirrus never did anything for me. It seems to be the Tesla of the GA world; very advanced and chock FULL of safety features. I sold mine after only a couple weeks of ownership, but yes, your flight demo reminds me that it flew extremely well and was a touch and go machine! Greased landings all day long...Blue skies my friend!

[hechtspeed]

Man what a pretty model. Well done review!!!! And excellent flying as always :)

[purcellrcaviationchannel]

I loved the slow flying sequences, Adam. If I had one of these, that's how I'd fly it. One very thorough review. HH must be tickled pink having your expertise on tap.

[Bellairvideo]

One of my favourite R/ C aircraft Adam. Just love flying it at the beach.
Well presented indeed.
Hope the rain storms you are having over TX are not affecting you too much.
Keep safe & well you two🇦🇺🇺🇸

[JeffsCustomRC]

Another fantastic video Adam!! Love the build, description, and the flight footage, keep’m coming buddy👊🏼👊🏼

[JustPlaneNutzRC]

Nice flying Adam, she seems like a great plane. Thanks for another excellent review.

[IansRCExploits]

E-flite keep knocking out fantastic planes Adam!! This one is a real looker, it has the scale looks I go for!! The only down side for me is the Tri cycle landing gear!! I would only get about 4 weeks when the grass would be short enough for them to cope!! Great review and well filmed Heidi 😀👍

[LightningZulu-cpoh]

Love the scale appearance of this model. IL be buying one soon. Great video.

[CRrc]

Another great review.
I've been torn between this one, the RV-7, and the Commander, looks like this one is a good choice if a trike is wanted in the hangar.
Looking forward to your next video 😁

[jive]

Wow! One of the nicest knife edge spins I've ever seen! Great job, as usual Adam! I've always wanted to pick up this plane. One of the LHS's has one in stock in Minneapolis. I might have to grab it. We're just barely getting flying weather up north here now. Snow finally melted, but its been insanely windy lately. 45MPH gusts today, where I live lol.

[smokeymountainrctravisThompson]

Beautiful plane. Looks amazing going through the air
