Flite Test - Tuff Trainer - REVIEW

In this episode the guys review Josh Scott's plane, the Tuff Trainer. Josh S. has had this plane at his disposal for about a week, in which he got some practice time in.

Hobbyking Tuff Trainer EPP (PNF)

Josh Bixler was in the unusual role of support, instead of lead for this review. Josh Scott showed that he learned quite a bit about the plane while he had it in his possession, and demonstrates this while explaining some of the plusses and minus of this aircraft.

The review was followed by Josh S putting the plane into the air, and returning it, for the most part, safely to the ground. A crooked mustache makes for an easy fix. Be sure to subscribe, so you don't miss any of the upcoming episodes.

Being new (very new) to the hobby, I appreciate some videos like this with Josh Scott checking in with his learning process.  I love to watch Josh B fly but I can identify with Scott.  I assume by the time I posted this comment his flying skills have vastly improved.  I really enjoy your videos.  Very down to earth and I learn a lot

Good job Josh not bad at all, keep flying every minute you fly its pure learning, experience, flight time=gold!

The Tuff Trainer has changed a hell of a lot from this review. Even when I bought one a year ago, it had a battery hatch on the underside of the nose and ailerons. On mine, I got one dead servo out of the box and the vertical stab was warped (a lean to the right). Mine got lots of tuff lovin'. I liked mine so much as a trainer I recently recommended it to an air cadet group. The motor and servos have changed, the latter for the better, and all the pieces packed properly.

Why dont you guys have a runway build yet at your field? You could do a video on how to make a runway and what makes it easier to land on and stuffs

glad josh is becoming more than just comic relief in this show! keep it coming, i love it!

[FliteTest]

@brainanator Sure! The link is in the description.

seriously, you dudes are great. i love to see such support still in existence SOMEWHERE. once i get flying, i'm in rochester ny, and we should fly somewhere sometime!

Josh Scott is a fast learner, soon he will give competition to Josh Bixler in fyling, keep up the good episodes.

As usual the video is very informative. I would also add for when flying in the wind that make sure your battery is fully charged and you have full power on the motor. Unfortunately with the foam models the wind will throw it around, but when the motor is working at full power you can manage those windy days better. (Lost two planes on less power).

I have the one with ailerons. Other than the motor mount it is a great plane really. I have a larger 2200mah battery in it, and it helps with making the nose heavier. I have broken the motor mount a few times, and have made a new one. The issue is the firewall is so open that the balsa for the mount glues on the top and bottom, leaving no reinforce in the middle. A bit to fast of a landing and the motor gets too hard of a hit, a broken mount happens. It's not hard to glue it back. Good plane.

Honestly. Who goes out and buys a battery, transmitter, and receiver for a plane they dont know how to fly? Ive always felt trainers should all be RTF like my awesome hobbyzone super cub.

Another great video though guys. Dont let the haters get to you. Keep doin what your doin

[aniket_c_]

And also you guys are the best i improve so much by just watching the videos you guys

[yiancar]

liked how young josh was not that noob in this episode :)

[crazyTMAXXman]

Josh has learned so much :') im so proud of you

[lewandlo]

WTG Josh. Your in now. Looks like your going to be the next top gun eh? heheheh. Great stuff guys Always a pleasure to view another well put together video. Thanks.

@brosius85 I agree, but you could say the same thing about any trainer. But they still have there uses. Once i modded out my Super Cub, I felt a lot more comfortable moving towards the T-28. I think planes like this build confidence, and if you trash em, you're not out of a ton of money

[MSargeNZ]

Nice to see little Josh being more confident and becoming more of a co-host than a joke butt.

[tfoster]

Nice to see short Josh fly. I always wondered why tall Josh did all the time. Any way I think it was refreshing.

Harsh edit. Someone busted up laughing. I am guessing Josh B.

[prestonshute]

If Josh still has that model then maybe you should do a comparison with Hobby Kings new Tuff model. Seems to be an even better trainer.
Price point is good too
Cheers
