Deep Thoughts with Brian Phillips.
Another runway in Your back paddock would be awesome.
Great show Ace.

Nice! I like that set up, probably need to buy one!

[RCAVTR]

Another good flight video & report Brian, very entertaining. All I can say is "insane (plane) in the membrane..." IMHO one of thee best flyin' EDF's bar none!

[LaFatavideo]

Thank you for the second look and making my favorite RC channel. Between your channel and RC Sailers I’m slowly adding to my fleet.

I’m seriously thinking about getting this as my first EDF. I’ll make sure to use your link when I purchase it.

Wishing you and camera crew a Happy New Year! 😊

I believe it was a skyhawk A-4, i could be wrong. Would love to come fly with you Brian. I'm a disabled Combat Veteran that served as an Infantryman in the U.S Army for ten years and then was hurt in Afghanistan. Dude, it would be a wish come true if I could come fly with you sometime. Awesome Vids Brian and thank you for such great reviews, i wont buy it unless you recommend. Anyways i apologize for the rambling but just want to say thanks to you and Megan for such great work in the RC community, you two are such a blessing! God bless you and your family, Happy New Year

Wow, that's fast. Come on Motion RC, pick these guys up.

Awesome jet and fantastic flying skills. Regarding the Futura, you can clearly hear the airframe whistle in flight, a reminder of the F4U Corsair which was dubbed “Whistling Death” in World War II. Also, your flight skills are impeccable as noted by your ability talk your way through a descending final turn, roll out over “the numbers”, flare and touchdown. BTW, you should paint “numbers” on your runway’s longest segment. :-). A quick tip, I run a DX9 (NX10 on preorder) with the AR637T and have set up custom voices on the BIND button “I” with the flight timer on POS 0 and flight pack Volts on POS 1. When you want an update, a quick press of the BIND button announces your current flight time and a long press will give you flight pack Volts along with flight time when you release. Finally, a shout out for Megan, your better half :-). You both do a great job making the channel fun, entertaining, and informative. Your hard work and long hours are greatly appreciated!

Your flying skills shine with that plane .

[daniele.markle]

Woohoo, another second thoughts video! Keep flying these beautiful old planes. :-D

[erikskanes]

Good job Camera Crew! Not an easy plane to film.

[w.j.bendellr.c.flying.]

Great airplane, Great video, (camera crew), keep up the great work guys. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[stewartseatter]

Holy light-speed Batman, that thing is supersonic!

[belowme-]

keep cranking'em out.. your vids are perfect for these god awful times, good for taking the mind off it for the time being! Brian is this for beginners? RESOUNDING NO! lol

[michelg]

Great flight, , are you using low rate and high rate as indicated by FMS ? thanks

[charliemx]

I will probably never get a jet for the reason that they scare me. Great video keep up the content!

Hi Brian,
I can t decide between the futura v2 80mm or eflite viper 90mm please help which to buy of the these two..
They are both in about the same price range and they both seems awesome..
I have been flying for about 30 years and I am flying with both spektrum and jeti duplex so it doesnt matter if its bnf or pnp I just want the best performing jet basicly😊

Best regards Pierre

[ruger]

I just bought the eflite A10. Havnt flew it yet. Little nervous only flown the umx citation as a first edf. I may wait to fly the A10. Maybe. Looks so good though had to buy it. Lol. Which can fly slower the A10 or this plane? I flew in a school yard field. About 3 soccer fields. Space maybe a concern. Might just go to the flying field for the maiden. I like to fly alone though. Maybe I should by the viper. Or babu. Habu little more spendy though.

[davidgerlach]

I love this FMS Futura. I'm looking to add an EDF to my Viper 90mm. I'm looking at this (this V3 at the time of this) and the Freewing F-22 Raptor 6S 90mm. Brian, I searched through your list of RC videos and found no review of the Freewing F-22 Raptor 90mm, or Freewing Avanti S V2 80mm EDF?

[deanfernihough]

What's it like if got with fms flex gyro option...
