Hi Adam it's Lee from UK. You may remember me I was a returning rc flyer after watching one your shows decided to get the fms pitts quite few months ago now. Well I got the pitts done with red and white checkers on it and USA flags on cowling painted rivets and even dolly bird on pitts with 100esc with carbon 16x10 prop.
Well now I have these models to maiden 1/4 SE5A, 1/4 Youngminster, 1/4 Stampe, 1/4 Balsa usa Sopworth pup, 1/4 Gypsy Moth and tiger moth and 1/4 sukhoi all electric planes. wish you could test fly them lol but I get job done one flight at time. Thanks for your shows and letting me find the hobby back again chocks away 😊

Adam great review, have been using the up elevator to throttle mix for years which really makes a hand toss better for sure. Xfly EDF Jets are a blast, zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA

[Bellairvideo]

Great Jet indeed. Love the set up & flights Adam + the tee.
If i bought this model, i would install an oleo front gear. A hobby shop in Hong Kong sells this to suit for a few dollars.
Wonderfully flown & filmed guys

I bought this plane a couple of months ago. When hand launching, it similar to throwing a spear, slight angle up, Safe on. For landings, I coated parts of the bottom with 30 minute epoxy. For the front, I bought some heavy spring wire and bent it into a shallow hook, ground part of if flat to utilize the nose gear mount and lock it place. This keeps the nose out of the ground and at least I can keep the gun in place. The little pod was wiped out on my second flight. She's heavy but I love how the plane flies, to me she's a EDF version of a P-51.

Ciao! fantastico canale! Complimenti davvero! Con i vostri consigli si vola 100 volte meglio 🙂

[SteffenRC]

Well done review.. (as always...). What an impressive little plane.. Great vertical performance and stable.. Great tips on the handlaunch grippy thingy, but you really need Heidi a 3D printer for her craft room.. 🙂

[adamrodgers]

Awesome Flying as usual!!! Thank you for your prayers 🙏🏼 I saw the reply in the other video before I looked at this one.

Hope you and Mrs Heidi have a great day and a awesome weekend!
