That might work. I think next time I’ll grip from back where there are two small air intake holes and toss it myself. I’ve seen that work with these 40mm edfs. Thanks for dropping by!

Yeah, a giant wing!

Great! Hope it goes well!

Yeah, this Avanti does fine off grass. Enough power even on 6S and good gear

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks! It’s a fun plane!

Thanks Jeff!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by!

That ESC is so light, if it moves it doesn’t matter. I haven’t noticed anything. And thanks for the tip! Glad you stopped by!

You bet!

I have flown my FlyFans 64mm L-39 with AS3X and AS3X + with the master gain on the RKnob to tune while flying and after adjusting in moderate wind it was locked in. I would suggest upgrading in your one go-to EDF and see how it feels.

Thanks. That’s typically my rate setting on most edfs. Too much throw makes the flying very twitchy. And I use 10% expo all around on all edfs. Just to maintain the same feel. But that’s a pilot’s personal preference. “Stress tested” lol. Good to know…

I love the full flying stabs too. Makes it very responsive

It took off from grass fine and it would taxi but to save battery on our rough grass I always just walk the planes out. The next flight will be trying a hand launch and I’ll post.

lol. Glad it helped!

Tomorrow! I will post a video. Rx set up.

@6SRC_YT nice.. looking forward to it ✌🏻

Maiden video posted!

Thanks Jeff!

Yes, the RCGeek’s performance nozzles were added.

Ok try this. Be sure your radio is bound to receiver and all turned on. In main menu, scroll down and click Telemetry. You should see several numbered items, including AS3X. If not, pick any “Empty” one and scroll until you see it and choose it. Double click AS3X and Display needs to say” Act” meaning active. Then back out of this menu to main menu. When you scroll you should eventually see AS3X Gains.

@@6SRC_YT Many thanks but that didn't work either. I tried now a template from E-Flite Conscendo and suddenly this work. Don't know why. I have tried also blank templates which did't work. What remains now is that I do not get the battery status with the picture of a dead battery. I do get that when I fly with the AeroScout. HorizonHobby have very bad support for this. I really wonder if there is anyone here who knows a bit about Spektrum equipment.

Maybe I'm not that clear. In the Aeroscout program I have the screen 'Function List'--> 'Charge Status' in my head role menu. When I'm flying it's clear to see what my battery status is. I want to see that in my other plane too. How do you adjust the main role menu? Add remove others in it

You don't need to update if you already have the plus transmitter or rx.

Spektrum hasn't made any new templates for the plus system yet

Thanks for stopping by!

Was about 6 ox

@@6SRC_YT 6 ounce? wow thats a alot of added weight. i never usually add more than 3 ounces on my short nosed war bird planes

Yes this is a great find. That day I tried a 3300 for the first time and it was fine even off grass. With the right cg inverted flight is effortless. I gotta try a lap around the field next. lol. I have the AR631 in this plane. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks EQ!

Thanks for stopping by?

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Jeff!

The CG I used is 66mm back from wing root.

In the middle.

I updated CG answer

Yes, a 6S 2200 but a little bigger will fit

For iPhone, search “Drone Scanner” in the App Store. There are many but that’s actually the name. Blue flower-like logo.

@@6SRC_YT thank you

This plane is no longer available at Horizon Hobby

There are a lot of variables but initialize the remote outside with clear view to the sky to be sure it connects. To verify it’s working, and if you have an iPhone, go to App Store and search “Drone Scanner” using quotes. That’s what it’s called. I use this one. After you install you will see remote IDs in your area which will likely just be you. If you see yourself you’re good. If nothing shows up it’s not yet broadcasting right.

@6SRC_YT I've done what you suggested with 4 different apps, and it is definitely working. Just not on the NX8. 🤔

One possibility, have you installed latest firmware update for the nx8?

@6SRC_YT I haven't, but I'm going to. Thanks for your imput here. I appreciate it. 😁

I fly 6S 2200 CNLN and it flies great. If you fly off grass too you may find it more difficult to take off. You know your field and if other 4S edfs have had trouble. If you think you can rotate, then your flight experience should be fine.

@@6SRC_YT Thanks for your input.

4S. Thanks for stopping by to watch!

Thanks, and glad you stopped by!

It’s stock, except I did program full span flaps for takeoff and landing. Note I fly a 3300 pack and push it as far back as it can in battery bay. If you fly a bigger battery try one smaller. It’s too nose heavy with bigger packs.

@@6SRC_YT thanks for your reply. I’ll have to look into that.

Thanks, and no. They’re not all that good frankly but the good ones are what keeps us coming back. lol. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I’ll tell Pilot Jeff!

Yes, 9

@@6SRC_YT thanks :-)

No, the stock ESC doesn’t have reverse but the plane is light, stops quick, and doesn’t really need it.

Jeff did a great job flying it! Thanks for stopping by!
