not even gonna let the intro finish before i comment with "THANK YOU". MultiRotors are not the only RCs. i grew up crashing JR-equipped airplaines, so any airplane reviews, new or vintage review even, are huge in my list. i'm not sure many people understand the amount of work required for reviewtubers like yourself, from ordering, building, recording, reviewing, editing, flying, revie... i get it, so thank you for your dedication to the hobby, Andy.

I really liked this video. Good job explaining this in simple terms . You have a great gift of spreading your enthusiasm to fly with others

[Scrub_Zero]

Very nice! It's crazy how eachine can make total stinkers and then make some good stuff as well. Thanks for the video!

I just ordered this plane last week on aliexpress only paid 50 GBP for it to its still on offer at that price nice vid Andy as always can't wait to get mine

[alexislechevalier]

Thank you so much for the review Andy. Waiting for this one. Thanks! ^^
For a safe launch and keep the only two hands we have away from the prop, you could try a wing launch. It needs some practice but it's a really much safer way to do it.
Some expo adjustments may make the flight less shaky and twitchy or maybe the weather was too awful this time.
To add some gear on this kind of plane, the bigger ones may be more convenient but the form factor isn't the same.
Thanks. I've found my new buddy for the spring and get back in fixed wings.

Glad you did this one! I have had mine for a few months now and haven't tried to fly it yet. I'm not experienced with RC flying and flew u-control for many years. Only one experience with a Skamp nitro powered RC and the old 72 Mhz radio system. That didn't go very well. This looks like it will be too fast for me to start with, so I better find a floater that is tough. Quads are okay because I can just stop and land, planes not so forgiving.

Nice review, good to see you covering fixed wings too. Fixed wing FPV can be such good fun and these little planes are awesome fun. Time to build an extension ? :-)

[smgfin]

Could you start writing small summary of review in description? There are several videos that im not that interested to watch whole video, but would like to know how you liked it

[BruceRees]

A flight controller running iNav would give you telemetry and stabilisation ( no GPS required), but even better, "launch mode" so you can launch without the motor running.. great video as always!

[TheStickyBusiness]

Awesome to see some fixed wing here. and I really would like to see the rudder mod. I do not like bank and yank only on airplanes I accept it on wings but not on Airplanes. I always catch myself using it even if the airplane does not have one so I am looking forward for that mod video for sure.

[colelandreneau]

assuming you live in England, I find it funny that our weather is always the same in the states. we've also been hit with some snow. cool video tho

[stephandeboni]

Nice review andy,
those pieces you say "are not carbon" looks like carbon indeed. but poltruded ones, the fiber are all in the longitudinal direction.

[didactylosdiddy]

Interesting. Been looking at these myself as next step but so far the versions have been too big. This may be an option but it's a bit too quick over the ground for me yet as a purely LoS flyer. Nice to see you review it though.

[hellorc]

not sure if i am ready to fly plane's or fixed wings but just the same great video.

[d.b.cooper]

Have you considered using the S6R receiver ? You could use channel 1 and 5 and mix in some aileron differential to help with the turns.

[xnavigator]

Cool vid Andy, I've never flown one meself, bit surprised it's made of polystyrene tbh how do they hold up with a moderate crash??

[WXCB]

i was looking at these to replace the EDF i have. one thing i would do is put the FPV camera in the nose itself and then the mobius where you have the FPV camera now. as for launching, you can launch it then throttle up or even "frisbee" it like you would a wing

[stridermtk]

That one sure looks fun but I think personally I would want something a bit slower, perhaps a little larger and yes please a rudder if I'm going to learn to fly a proper fixed wing aircraft. -and hey check out the good ol' EF01 kicking butt in this application!
Cool video man!

[Fpvfreaky]

I tried buying one last week but they where out of stock so Andy rc I know where the last one went now 😏😊

[jasoncross]

Bank & yank....I can't be the only one who had a chuckle 😆

Sorry not a plane guy, maybe it's a term used often....
