John, probably not the right video for me to make comments on (just the most recent) that said, a little about me first, I'm 60+ disabled and up to two years ago had been out of the fixed wing RC hobby for over 20yrs. My younger brother (by 18months) in an attempt to get me out of the house has gotten me sucked back in. The RC world has changed by leaps and bounds in that absence, with my brother's help and YouTube videos of all kinds, your RCVR videos and your flying and narration/instruction has been IMO a step above most. Even when the videos are of more advanced topics or planes you never talk down to beginners or intermediate pilots, and with new planes never a "hard" sell.
Thank You, David

This is just pure wizardry! I am a 787 Dreamliner pilot and we spend many hours in the simulator performing upset recoveries over time. I’ve always told my fellow pilots that there is technology available in RC AIRPLANES that would recover the aircraft as good or better than we do! This is a classic demonstration of exactly that. Thanks for this outstanding showcase of this technology 👍👍

The matek units are slick. The new speedybee f405 wing seems like a smash hit for beginners and planes like this

[Yogenh]

Looks like a great setup for when helping someone who is just starting

[bulufish]

U r always a great service to our hobby. Thank you for simplicity with the video 📹

[RubyS.]

Pretty neat logic. I really like the a3 super 4 far more advanced than i thought they would be especially for the money

[williamcox]

This is something I need since my reactions and ability to fly have diminished because of my age. This will really help John and I will have to trim everything for the type of plane I fly. Keep up the good work John and Freddie.

[davidpaker]

that will be very Helpful for a lot of people. Not only beginners but even experienced pilots when they get in front of the sun. You can't see the airplane, clouds, atmospheric conditions where you get Disoriented. at times. I see a lot of potential Even for experience. Pilots with very expensive airplanes, good job.

[FlankerTanker]

Love these Bixlers still fly my Bixler 2 and 3...

[hspeed]

Very cool setup John. Keep coming up with these awesome suggestions and programming . Love that Edge Tx allows for this.

[jlarson]

Cool tool. Worked really well. Very good explanation, I'm not great with edgetx. But I was able to follow the flow. 👍🤓

[bosshog]

I have some ideals on how to improve on your setup so that the plane would recover even when inverted. However, recovery height would have to be increased. Something for me to play with. Nice video.

Excellent presentation John. Good job keeping the logic straight forward and simple. I happen to have an A3 Super 4 laying around that I just might try this on a new 3D plane I'll be putting together soon. I'm no 3D pilot and can use the help.

Have you ever explored using a gyro to assist an intermediate pilot in the maiden flights of a challenging plane? I'm thinking more of the take-off and landing parts of the maiden flight.

[MrFalcon]

Meant to ask you...the altitude...is it in AGL or MSL? I'm assuming that it's uncorrected barometric MSL, as it doesn't have a radio altimeter, right? Kind of important information to address for each person's setup/location!

[Perry_Wolf]

So, just wondering, if you wanted to do a nice easy, and almost hands off take-off, couldn't you just throw into Hard Deck Enabled and toss it into the air, where it would simply climb to 140ft?

[Poundy]

so you think the Bix2 is a step up from the FMS hi-wing trainer? Wow, I wouldn't have thought that. As a low hours pilot, with an original v1 Bixler that has done the lions share of my recent hours, I'm surprised by that, pleasantly surprised, guess I'll avoid going for a hi wing trainer as my next plane 😄 I have a Phoenix 2400 glider that I've already maidened but have not had weather suitable to fly it more than the first few circuits and was thinking I wanted something in between the two to really build my skills

[electricflyer]

I think that this setup would be great for teaching my grandson to learn to fly. If you could provide the EdgeTx configuration, I would greatly appreciate it.

[Creionz.]

Interesting feature ! haven`t watched it yet tho..

[alexherrera]

Is it possible to build something like launch flight mode, that just allows throttle to be used and a max angle of about 25 degrees that help just for taking off a plane .
Thanks

[superdow]

Did you consider using a knob to control the altitude at which auto level would be triggered?
