Haha, I love that saying - fast horse , so true . This plane is a really fun toy, it’s versatile but just not ‘that’ versatile 👍

​@@rcpilots1291 Yes, I own the red and the black one but have to learn to fly before, hehehe. After your vid I know what wind these birds can endure and what I must avoid. But now I learn a little more with an RC Flight simulator on a gaming platform (I do not tell the names because everyone should chose his favorites but do not download a game from DVD please, because you get disturbed by Internet, probably). On this way I can fly the Ranger 600 already when we have mearly no wind. this bird seems to be the easiest beginner plane, it has low wheight and can glide slowly, you know. Greetings from Northern Germany, see you in the air, my friend

@@rc-fannl7364 hi, big thanks for all of that guidance. That’s a lot of help to a lot of people. Happy flying

@@rcpilots1291 Glad to share experience. Not sure if this plane can still be purchased, but while not perfect, it's a lot of fun. Btw, there are two ways to use a hobby grade transmitter with this plane. If fitted with recent software, a multiprotocol radio such as Radiomaster TX16 should have the protocol, but the board in the S720 also has a port to connect a different receiver. I fitted mine with an XM+ since I didn't have a multiprotocol radio back then.

Ah crikey, what a bummer. 😢best of luck with the Xk

​@canopy3607 right lol.. parts get here in a day for the S2 so that's good.. I knew I should have bought a small beater first lol

Good point 👍

I thought the same thing at first, but after a few flights it really began to show how much fun it can actually be. I hope it does the same for you

Hi Andy, great to hear from fellow pilots with similar ‘challenges’ 😅, I couldn’t get anywhere with the Durafly auto gyro - heart breaking, but at least this Paramotor thing is a lot less hassle . Thanks for the tip about the 64 mm, I’ll check it out

Hi, I’m really glad that you enjoyed this. There are a number of websites that sell this great plane. I recommend just doing a google search and compare the offers. Best of luck

@@rcpilots1291 hi well what is the name of your plane so I can look it up let me know

@@jasonbuetow1 that might be a bit of a push but a 4s 1500 should work 👍

I use the stock 3s 350mah battery, it’s a tight fit. I’m surprised to hear that she is tail heavy , as per radio setup, sorry I’m hopeless with Jumper TX radios but there’s loads of great videos on TH-cam . Best of luck with your maiden 👍

@@rcpilots1291 Thanks for your reply, I'll try some 3s batteries.👍

Ya, big lesson learned , they can’t handle winds like an Rc plane 😅

@@ryanlemons3255 same problem here in ireland , always breezy 🥵

@@evandotpro I couldn’t resist dropping them in, and thanks for your kind words 👍

I’m guessing there’s quite a few more of us out there that did the same thing 😢

Thanks for asking, I was so very lucky to find it in a big open field , undamaged . I’ll be a heck of a lot more careful in future . Happy flying 👍

@@rcpilots1291 Last year, I flew my Hobbyking Paramotor, suddenly the thermals became soo strong that I had to stall it, It did not revover, hit a tree. Broke one wheel.

I hope not, because it’s a pretty expensive purchase to start with. 😅 happy flying my friend 👍

Good question, sorry for not mentioning it, I just cut the servo wires and attached the correct fitting 👍

It is a good jet but there are better easier options . Red arrow have a 50mm gem that’s great for beginners. Check through my videos for a review . Happy flying

I’m delighted to hear trust you enjoyed the video, I love this plane, buckets of fun. Happy flying my friend 👍

@@Workerbee-zy5nx wise words 👍

Sincere thanks for your advice 👍, the launch can really be tricky 😢

Fair comment, thanks 👍

Hiya, great to hear from a fellow Irish man 😎. I live in cork 👍

Thanks for that advice, big help 👍

There’s a guy in Dublin sells it . Radiocontrolshop . He has a good site. I love the stuff - haha

@@rcpilots1291 Ah yes, I know the shop. Thanks, I'll check it out! Great plane this Polaris, wish Banggood still sold it instead of the "Paptor" 😆

I’m guessing the tail motor malfunctioned

Tail rotor axis gyro failure.

@@altermannfliegt3927 I’m sorry to hear about the braking fuselage, just like you I’ve repaired mine a good few times - I love uhu por . 😗

@@rcpilots1291 I rarely use uhu por. Instead, I prefer to use foam safe ca. This makes for a nicer repair and is lighter in weight. Of course I use boiling water and steam.

@@altermannfliegt3927​​⁠nice tip, thanks

Hey Steve, big thanks for your nice comment. I appreciate it 👍

Ah crikey, that’s the worst outcome when they fly out of range, I’ve lost more than one plane just like that, things happen so fast with these small little planes, that’s why I put high viz tape of one side to help with orientation- Best of luck next time 👍

@@theoztreecrasher2647 hey buddy, thanks for the invite, how bout I’ll take your lead,if it’s good enough for you then it’s good enough for me - I respect my elders 🤭😎

@@rcpilots1291 🤔 Nope. always send in the Irish Guards first! 😜🤣🤣

Hiya Paul, thanks for your nice comments and ya it’s very rare to find a calm day around here lately, I live in Cork , Ireland 🇮🇪. I rely on our ‘Irish Aviation Authority’ guidelines which permit flying these little/ lightweight craft in large open areas , just use common sense when people maybe in the vicinity. Happy flying.

@@rcpilots1291 I'm in Co. Meath, lived in Co Kildare before where there were several options such as the Curragh and parks, but have yet to find anything in my new county. I only fly small foamies & helis, so joining a flying club seems a bit drastic!

@@paulcucit2786​​⁠I’m the same as you , I just like to grab a plane randomly when I’ve got a bit of time to spare. Best of luck with your search 👍

@@JordanColeman-r8w crikey, that sounds like loads of fun 🤩, I think that I’ll give that a try, thanks 👍

@@that70sgamer that’s rock solid advice, thanks for that 👍

Thank you for your kind words, tbh I’m a bit of a slow learner 🤭

It’s an elastic band I had been using to secure a little fpv cam

Hey thanks for those kind words, it was a fun project, next step is to try with 3s batteries 😅

Hi, that’s great to hear- we’ve both had similar experiences with this little beauty - it is a great intro plane to 3D , happy flying 👍

I agree with you 100%, I just need to keep the expo rates really high

Haha , yes I’d be finished without uhu por

@@rcpilots1291 I just got an A800

I agree with you 100%~ those servos are very noisy

Best of luck with your purchase. I think you’ll be very happy 👍

Thanks for your kind words, I feel the exact same as you about the joy of just watching these little birds floating in the sky with no motor . Happy days 👍

Brilliant! I live in the West of Ireland and seriously considering getting into slope soaring I have the UMX Apprentice so this would be a great way to get into that side of things , essentially no choice as I need to fly and it is just so windy this year only a handful of flights on my scale planes. Your great video has covinced me!

@@nickmoloney9820​​⁠hey my fellow Irishman, great to hear from you, what a great part of the country for slope soaring off all those beautiful cliff edges, the conscendo is brilliant but I wonder if a bigger glider like the ‘bixler’ might be more robust for all those strong gusts 💨, it’s also cheaper . Happy flying

@@houndoftindalos9580 I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍

Ya I agree, I know it’s a bit of a trade off trying to keep it lightweight but for the price perhaps the cone should be a light alloy 👍

Hi Barry, thanks for taking the time to raise this very important issue. I agree that it is best to avoid flying over people. When I was training to become a qualified licensed and insured drone operator it was a topic that was discussed thoroughly during lectures. I can confirm that I was completely in compliance with aviation authority guidelines and for readers reference I’ve pasted a paragraph taken directly from easa Europe . Question-“Can I fly over people? Answer - Generally when you operate in the ‘open’ category, you are not allowed to fly over uninvolved people, unless you have a privately built drone with a weight below 250 g or a drone purchased on the market with a class identification label0 or 1 mark. In any case, try to minimise the time during which you fly over people. “ You have raised a very valid concern and I respect your comment - happy flying 👍

You're wrong. Umx planes are no different from a paper airplane. It's 100% fine to fly anywhere non-private, unless you intend to cause damage with a 210 gram foamie.

In canada, anyways.

@@rcpilots1291 RE Barry ...Common seagulls weigh 300 - 480 gms always flying in public places without insurance...know what I'd rather be hit by.

It is irresponsible people like this that are the reason regulations are enacted and restrictions are place on activities. Even with his own response to your post it shows a level of ignorance as being a "qualified licensed and insured drone operator" he quotes from a non relevant paragraph to RC planes.

“With”? Maybe a trip to the audiologist is required 😂. Point well made about flying near people. All was good flying over water but the technical glitch changed circumstances. I should have been more cognisant of the lethal capabilities of this flying behemoth. I enjoy sharing my honest flying experiences with fellow enthusiasts. I suppose it’s easier to just be ‘an armchair warrior’ … happy flying my friend 👍

No "wit", cock wit, dic* wit and fuc* wit brothers. Yep, happy flying at a field set up for it with like minded people and safety protocols and boundaries It is flying in public spaces that cause the complaints and associated problems.

@@rcpilots1291 "wit", dic* wit, coc* wit and fuc* wit. Happy flying yes in an area set aside for it.

@@rcpilots1291 Never heard of the three brothers? Dim*, Coc* and Fuc* Wit.

Absolutely right, when flying such a large/huge RC airplane/helicopter or drone it's very important that you don't fly it over people. That thing coming down at full balls could possibly injure or possibly kill an insect!!!

Ya, the 700 is a joy to fly. I had leds also which was great fun at night

Ah crikey, what a pity . It’s such a great plane, shame to have such a silly flaw.
