I think videos from zero to hero would be a great series. It will help build confidence for those who are looking to get into the hobby. You're an excellent Pilot and Instructor so that young man is certainly in good hands.

I am thinking about getting one of these too. I used to be in the Brighton Michigan RC club way back in my high school years with my father. I learn a lot and had a lot of fun with a lot of good people. One of the things we used to do I don't know if you guys do it looks like you put a rubber over the clevis. we would take like a little piece of blue line silicone fuel line and slide it on the control rods and then after the clevis is snapped you slide the rubber over the top of the clubhouse to keep it from opening up if you stress it in some acrobatics. I don't know if it's a problem but it just makes it bulletproof and we also tried to use the metal dubro clevises if we could just a little tip, it might help people. It may help you win the battle instead of taking home a bag of balsa wood or Styrofoam lol. Believe it or not I have seen plastic clevis snap. I like to fly high speed I used to overpower everything so it was like a flying rock lol, when you fly like that you're putting some pretty big stress on things.

We had a nice finished basement we used to build our RC planes in in the winter time I would tell my father don't use that cheap control rod in that Japanese zero, he wouldn't listen the first thing it would happen to have 140 mile an hour rock bomb like a warbird getting shot down spiraling all the way to the ground kaboom. It got kind of embarrassing so then we got out of planes and into racing boats and started a racing team with my brothers and some other guys.

My father was the only guy I know that could put a boat in a tree 40 feet out of the pond, lmao. But thinking back on it those were the most fun times I've ever had my with my father when was still with us. RC is fun stuff it seems like you never get away from it every so many years it kind of pops back in your life it actually started with one of my oldest brothers his first plane was a junior falcon. We later got in the senior Falcons which was a great plane we used to let all our relatives fly out on our farm I had a summer reunion party etc. if you can join a RC called yogurt a lot of oral tips if there's not one in the area start one find the nearest one go see those guys maybe post an ad on craigslist it's just a lot more fun to have a few guys we used to have bomb drop contest or best of show we build a old timers playing one time from scratch from a cute we made and then had a contest one of the classes was who could stay in the air the longest with no power flying into the thermals of the wind. And once a month we do have a meeting in the winter time guys would bring in their project to show everybody. RC sure has changed a lot I suppose the electrics are actually a lot simpler I still kind of like the sound of a screaming go plug engine though in a power dive so I'd probably like to go back to both.

Nice job on this video nothings better than a video with somebody actually talking disgusing what they're doing instead of just playing music this is far better than any instruction manual will ever be. I downloaded it for when I get my plane if you're on the YouTube plus or whatever which is what I watch for my TV you can download all kind of good stuff to watch it later if you're off-line. It's like $14 a month but it's worth it not to watch all the commercialsAnd they have some good free movies on there sometimes well there's a lot of free movies on there but some are actual that you would rent

Best of luck to Charlie in his new hobby. Look forward to the videos to come.

[lindacoogle]

Sir like to thank you for forwarding the manual even though it’s simple to install is getting the right screws in the right holes...
I hope that her Rison Harvey realizes you’re great and help to their company you have provided. I’ll forward this information to my local hobby shop.
You’re the best! 😁
Best regards,
Greg Coogle

I also like the idea of a rubber nose and the enclosed ducted fan save you from breaking a lot of props lol this is a pretty cool plane I may see if I can get some special Styrofoam paint to paint one up to look like the Navy blue Angels

[jerrywalker]

I will be receiving my habu ready to fly in March I'm Real excited about getting it it's been on back order for the longest but I'm for sure it will be well worth the wait

[mixsetup]

Should of let Charlie unbox his new plane that is part of the excitement.

[DadsRCHangar]

Good luck on your training. You have a great pilot to teach you. Love the LED sign 👍🏻

[davidalexander]

I still have one of the old Habu 2 that has flaps and retracts

[stevebarr]

I've recently got the pnp version and do you think I could use the ar637 instead of the flight controller?

[RichardClaudio-ufch]

hi guys I bought the pnp model and what is is the wiring to the Ar620 receiver

[Bryan-qxiy]

Is the RealFlight simulator (version 9 or 9.5?) come with this Habu RTF kit. I don't see it in your videos. Thanks.

[davidmichael]

My instructions indicate to use the most outer holes for the rudder control rod ?

[joshuametze]

How do you install the 3s battery. The manual says push all the way forward and secure with the strap and "hook". What hook?? Thanks

[whoareyou]

What would you recommend for a persons first edf? I already have some experience with low wing sport glo engine airplanes and trainers, etc. So I'm not a beginner, but have never flown electric or edf. I was leaning towards the habu..but might be overkill for me..or maybe the arrows marlin or the eflite viper..thanks for your input

[chriscrawford]

Has anyone figured out how to program the DXS? I want to add lights to my Habu STS, and need to assign channel 7 to the unused switch (D) on the radio to turn them on and off. It appears they use channel 5 for throttle, 1 is empty (but still used somehow?), and I’ve heard 6 is for the “Oh Crap” button.
Sure wish Horizon or Spektrum would post something on it!

[hectorcadavid]

😢 this plane doesn’t come bundled with the battery and simulator anymore 😔😔 so sad

[aaron]

Where do I find my copy of real flight trainer edition code

[anybodysguess]

Can anybody please tell me why there’s no owners manual? Or instructions on how to assemble it besides this video? How does the remote work?

[donpayne]

HABU canopy will not fit using a 4s 4000 mah.
