Hi Brian, just a quick comment. I have one of these and do like it. Concerning the cog, the manual that comes with the plane says 110 mm from leading edge. This is obviously wrong and a lot of people say what they meant was 110mm from the first panel line which is what I used. Found that a bit tail heavy and moved the battery to get about 100mm from the first panel line. Here is the news...I looked on eachines manual Web page last night, and according to their on line manual the cog is 55mm from the leading edge. This is not the same as the manual you get in the plane, but is exactly where I have found the right cog point. I think it was a mistake on the printed manual. Just in case anyone is interested.

Hi Brian, I'm thinking of getting into edf jets, can you recommend a good aircraft that's easier to fly? :)

[PhalanxFire]

Kudos to the camera crew. She does a great job following your crazy flight routine.

[deandagner]

Eachine actually did really good with these. Can't wait to see what they come out with next. I love flying mine. The sound and speed is crazy for a 50mm. Great video as always, Brian!

Great looking plane, haven't broken into EDF flying yet but will do soon for sure. Love your honesty guys, its a rare commodity these days and believe me, it doesn't go un noticed and will win out in the long run!

RC Yoda you are....3 years ago RC baby I was...your channel immense help it was and is 😊

[dronepilotrc]

You are spot on buy recommending this over the F-16 . I have 2 of each and the F-18 is much better than the eachine F-16 in all aspects 😎🤙

Been flying this with 1500 100c batteries for a while and it’s my go to plane at the moment as it’s very discrete, sounds great and Tom Gun relevance :) I also made the ailerons in flaperons and really helps slow the plane down. However, the first one I purchased the engine ripped out during first flight and lost everything as I was flying over the ocean. I suggest removing the small plastic strip that holds the ESC in place because it’s not held on good and if it comes off during flight it will go through the motor. Also, tighten the nut screw for the fan as it was a bit loose.

Hi guys; Glad to see ya flying on a sunny day instead or freezing your bits off. A strange disparity in Bangood specs. I have the same fan unit at 2627, 4300 kv. Definitely rated as 4s. Specs on my Powerfun unit, (QX are same) are 950g peak thrust. So even with a 2200 4s the aircraft will go vertical. Plane is still only gonna weigh around 550g. Of course the weight to lift ratio makes it harder to pull out. Adverse yaw whilst banking can be fixed a bit by making aileron end point on the up aileron higher than the lower.

Bellissimo volo, sai dirmi quanto Ampere assorbe il motore, sia a 3s, che a 4s? Ciao grazie

[vrosi]

Wow very cool for something without gear very scale lawn dart

[carlo]

beautiful flight, can you tell me how many amps the motor absorbs, both at 3s and at 4s? thanks bye

[airhammer]

I'm surprised that the esc didn't melt!! 🤣🤣😂 Good stuff Brian and Camera Crew.
AirHammer out!!

[paullepine]

Another great video Brian - thanks. Superb video too! One question just for clarity please? Are you using the stock esc with those 4s batteries? Many thanks .

I just purchased the Eachine F-18 50mm and I'm wondering what batteries are the best as this is my 1st EDF I've been flying rc helicopters since 01 which I have an Avant FX and T-Rex 250's which all I need is a Nicad battery for my Futaba T10CHP Radio and then about 5 1300 mah 3 cell up to a 2200 4 cell packs although I'm wanting to know what the best battery and plugs it requires any help would be very much appreciated ❤✈️ 😎
