I have had this plane for a while now (the other livery but still the same plane) and learned a lot with it from a fellow turbine pilot. He said that these birds need full flaps to take off because of the gear being so far behind the cg... once I did that the take offs were a thing of beauty to behold! It just rises off the ground now! As soon as its in the air gear up flaps up and its perfect. Also this plane sounds amazing!! I have 3 hornets and this one is the most scale of them all! Its so much fun! Forces you to land the best you can every time! Also... no flare... carrier style flown to the ground. Also the only pack I use is an HRB 6s 50c 6000 pack. Tried a 5000 and it never felt right. Landing requires up to half throttle to keep it at the right speed... another thing like the F-16s you need to get the plane into the landing attitude to get it slowed down for landing. Otherwise it sails on by. Once you get used to it you will see what I mean.... great thorough video!! Wow!! You covered it all!!!

I was flying my jet hubu because I, m still learning and missed the runway and said to my self I suck but now I don, t feel so bad since you missed it because you can fly anything LOL and wow you have guts to fly on that small road really no room for era you do a great job and good camera work too I, m learning a lot Thanks

[brianTwwjd]

You are the man! Using the road as a runway and fly over private land.

[dradden]

It's so funny you mentioned the pliers. I quickly learned, even new into the hobby, to carry needle nose in my battery bag . So true

[dradden]

Love that jet whistle sound on it during low altitude fly over

Look here mister, you've got to stop with these long ass videos. I've pissed away the last 3 WEEKENDS I'm hooked. Really though, GREAT videos. Very informative and entertaining. You've helped me a great deal with deciding on planes, equipment, and flying tips. To you and your camera crew, great job.

[justinedefrance]

The assembly of the model is as interesting as seeing it fly. Thanks for this long video.

[claudiomueckay]

Hello Brian! This is one of the most impressive models I've seen you flying! E-flite really made an extraordinary Blue Angel version! Great video and awesome flight! :)

[gregoryh]

Brian and Wife thanks for this sweet video glad it was long so we can learn more. I have a ideal for your Driveway length! How about planting Bentgrass and cut it like a putting green but you don’t have to cut it short! Save money on Concrete!

[wreelp]

I tried to save money but bought this after watching your review last night. Thanks man!

[francisconti]

Gotta love the F-18..sounds great too! She looks &sounds so scale

[philipriding]

If you put the pushrod linkage for the nose wheel on the most inside hole on the nose wheel control horn the wheel won’t be so sensitive when landing. Great looking plane.

[TangyLlama]

I wish I had the money for that beauty, but most




THAT LANDING GEAR IS SO SICK!!!!

[hornpoutclout]

Gotta say your camera operator is flawless full frame
On center with her shots

[victorrcjets]

Of course I watched your maiden flight getting ready to head out to go fly myself good job on your maiden I saw you did remove the missiles of course.

[jonoedwards]

Brian Big Skies!
Amazing scale and sound, great flying. I can imagine taking My eyes of this Beast for a second and never seeing it again.
Great review and show. Way outta My Class yet. Awesome stuff, thanks Ace.

[tilneyaviation]

Great video and nice landings! I had a 64MM hornet and it flew like it was on rails. Great model indeed!

[randylinn]

OMG, this is the most beautiful plane I've seen you fly... She is

[TheTerrypcurtin]

Tough approach on beveled street. Great job. I've been there in a Champ in real life. Whoa!!! Lol.
You have the best teaching videos on the net.
I wish Horizon Spectrum would hire you for trainings.
1st class presentations and I understand it.
