E-Flite S.E.5a 900mm BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select - Model AV8R Announcement & Review

The Spitfire of WWI! In Model AV8R episode 180, we feature the newest release from E-Flite - the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a! Inspired by the old Parkzone S.E.5a, this brand new mold is a bit more compact with more scale details, all the latest technology, much more power, and a reinforced airframe that can handle being flown like a Pitts if you like! It's also a first...its easy to assemble, versatile, and convenient to own. You can't usually say that about WWI planes. In this review we'll cover the assembly, features, and flight performance with demos on 3s and 4s! Check it out, links below!

What a cool plane. outstanding performance. I could see bringing it to the field and just puttin' around.. Then hammer on it to really show off.. Great review Adam. Heidi's camera work is second to NONE...

[chrisambrose]

Mine will be here Monday and I can’t wait! Thanks for the info !! 👍🇺🇸💙🖖🏻

[ifitflies]

Perfect! Hopefully the Albatross will follow! Great review !

[williamhoodtn]

Beautiful plane! Seems to fly really well! Now HH needs to come out with a similar sized Red Baron's iconic Fokker DR. I triplane!

[looneytunes]

OMG just when i promised myself i dont need anymore airplanes in the hanger Adam has convinced me i NEED THIS PLANE! Dang you Adam :)

[michaelclinerc]

Great flying sequences Adam! I’m pretty impressed by it after seeing what you could do with it in the air. It should be a fun one to have in my hangar.

Ordered... I've been after one of these for *years*. I'm really excited by this lovely rendition of the SE5A! 3S flavour for me, ta! Fabulous review and flying, Adam... Heidi's your equal on the camera as always ☺

[JeffinLowerAlabama]

Adam fantastic review, had to pause the video and use your link to order it. Was just flying my Parkzone Albatross last week and commented on these WW1 birds needed to come back. Jeff in LA USA

Timely review! My son and I have been on a bi-plane flying spree lately with the UMX Waco and the micro Skynetic Pitts. We have the Durafly Gloster Gladiator and now this S.E.5 on the shopping list.

Good looking bird. You were having fun again! Nice flying Adam. I'm thinking on this one. My hanger is wing tip to wing tip as it is...LOL!

[barsoom]

I wonder how you manage to get such excellent video of your flights! Never out of focus, always looks close up! Someday you should reveal your video secrets! Anyway, another great review!

[payitfwdrcl]

Adam. Emm. Like what i’m seeing coming out. Such a beautiful scale plane. Heidi working her magic with the video. Just an awesome team you both make. ❤

[MyRCJourney]

Hi Adam, great review as usual! I always enjoy all or your content. You are one of the RC channels that I eagerly wait for each week to watch. Thanks for all you and your wife do for the hobby! I used your link to pick this one up and really look forward to flying it! Thanks again!

[USNVA]

Nice model and great review ! I hope they release a Fokker D.VII in the same scale. Would be fun to have a furball out at the club ! 😁

[MrBBaron]

Pre-paid ordered this great WWI fighter. I had the Pakrzone years ago and it was a great flying plane. I would like to see many more WW1 fighter foamies They are my favorite era fighters.

[IansRCExploits]

Fantastic model plane!! I've been waiting to get my hands on an S.E.-5a for a very long time!! Great review Adam and well filmed Heidi 😀👍

[ironmover]

I’m glad HH came out with something new ish, (not a timber) looks like great engineering/design compared to old PZ plane

Good review !

[RCplanes]

Great review Adam! Ive been looking for a smaller WW1 plane that easy to transport, and a every day flier. This is perfect!

[FlyShamu]

Fantastic review as always sir! 👏 Suweet landings too. Three-point is the way to go. 😎

[waynemattson]

Adam, great review as always. I really dig your format and find your setup chapters to be very helpful. I can’t wait to get this one!
