Can We Fly on a Frozen River? Winter Flying Shenanigans
Winter usually means fewer flying days, but we’re not letting snow, ice, or cold fingers ground us! With our trusty Twisted planes in hand, we braved the elements and took to the skies. The frozen river served as the perfect runway, while the snow-covered riverbanks acted as a natural wind barrier. Join us for some epic winter flying shenanigans-we hope you enjoy our adventure!

How is the battery tray working out for you? Are you able to share the STL file for it? I am building an AJ Slick 51 and I definitely see the benefit of using a battery tray to get the battery far forward but still have it secured properly.
I got your e-mail, and will be sending the thingiverse link within the next few days.
On my epp foam planes I use a hot hair dryer, It will bring the foam back to its original shape. You can also purchase what is called Featherlite filler made for rc airplanes.
Thanks for the ideas!

Nice work.
I fly mine with a 6s 2700. It balances it awesome where you can still reach it and you can get 7-8 minutes of Ripping! I love this plane and bring it to the field almost every time. It just the right size that I can slide it back behind my seat in my truck and still fit a crack yak and all my wing bags for 60& 67” planes.
Awesome! I could see a slightly larger battery helping with the CG, but mine is pretty light and I like that. I found a solution as I mentioned in the video to easily get my battery in the nose to help with that issue. Is yours still floaty even with the bigger battery, and what motor are you using? Also what 60 and 67inch planes do you have, I am looking to jump into that size class before long.
@ Hey buddy. I have the T-motor AM480 and their 70 amp ESC in my AJ Slick. It flies awesome, I don’t know how floaty it is compared to yours, but no problems with wing dropping or anything like that, and flies amazing for its small size and doesn’t feel heavy at all. I have all the 67’ Extreme Flight planes (including the new pink NG) plus the Raven. They’re all super fun. If I had to pick one it might be the Edge 540. It’s so stable and easy to throw around and is just “locked in”. Second would be the Raven, it’s incredibly floaty and fun. I’ve also had the Pilot RC 67” NG. Skip that and get the Extreme Flight NG instead, It was a wing dropper in high speed stalls. I just got that new Pink NG and only have 3 flights logged. It immediately felt comfortable and familiar, great plane! It might be the closest one to the Slick.
@@tommcallister5835 with the tmotor 480 it looks in pictures like it's alot shorter of a motor. Did you have any problems with getting the prop to stick outside the cowl? I'm new to all ghis
Dig the content and teamwork. You guys rock!
AJ planes are incredible. Never any coupling in knife edges. Super straight builds.
what flight time do you get with the 6s 1800mah?
About 6 minutes doing mostly aggressive flying, landing at about 20% battery remaining, but if you cruise you could definitely get 7 minutes.
Good job on the video I've flown Aj Aircraft from the very first one they made. Andrew Jesky designs some of the straightest flying ARF's I have ever flown, Best of luck with your YT channel.
The accuracy of their aircraft is apparent during knife edge, where almost no coupling is present!
Nice 300. I am thinking about getting one of those.
Awesome content boys!
Thanks!
Nice Video ! From my personal experience I'd take out the bluebird servos and switch to savox I've had a couple bluebirds go out on me and cost me an airframe.
Hmm, worth considering. Servos are a funny thing, one person will love a brand of servos and others will have a bad experience and find some other brand that proves more reliable "for them." I will definitely keep using these for now, but I will keep my eye on them.
Never had an issue with blue birds. They have been around for ages. Before savox was even an after thought. Heck at one time all you would see is bluebird servos at the flying feild in the early 2000s. I have a set in my OMP hobby edge 540.
Your welcome for the airframe 😜🤪 great video guys 👍
I still paid for it LOL!

Excellent work!!!
sadly... you have created a surface that is more fragile than the original foam... but... what can you do right?
True, but as long as it does't get damaged again it shouldn't be and issue, and after all it was purely cosmetic damage. The only true "solution" would be to replace the cowl and fuse entirely which gets pricy.
@4BrothersRC you could toughen it up with a thin layer of fiberglass... but gotta balance the effort with the results right.... it did turn out nice... and the DAP product does sand nicely..
Subbed and liked. GJ guys.
Great job. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Wing rock is a natural thing to happen. Heavy planes, nose heavy condition and poor wing airfoils make it worse. A good modern design with very light wings that stall evenly minimizes all that. As said earlier aft CG helps, but how far bak can uou go without being too tailheavy? What always works is to harrier steeper. Keel the nose up like 50 degrees almost to hovering and the air wash under the wings becomes much less. The danger for beginners is being too flat, right in the transition zone where the plane stalls, tip stalls can happen in transition. So get the nose way up, or just dance with your wing rock.
Yes very true! That is the question, how far back can you move the CG back before the plane is too tail heavy to fly well outside of post stall conditions. The transition area is definitely the largest danger, I still need to work on getting the nose up higher, but it is a fine balance between high harrier and just hovering.
Wing rock is primarily balance. Move the battery back
Maybe so, but I am afraid in the case of purpose built 3D planes that rarely solves the issue, unless you mean lateral balance.
@4BrothersRC I fly for Aj Aircraft, Extreme Flight and pilot Rc. It's always balance and setup that directly affects wing rock. You want the lightest battery possible with an aft center of gravity. You always want the most weight in the center of the Aircraft. Lateral balance these days doesn't mean much. Most of these companies weight parts. Straight edge wings like on the Edge 540s will produce the most stable post stall Flight over double tapered wings.
I have done this before ( along time ago ) only I used the same filler from the tub. I wanted to mention to BE CAREFUL on filling deep dents because the filler WILL ( in time ) start to fall off. Should the ground reach up and grab one of my planes and crinkle it to where there are DEEP dents I would fill this with many THIN layers . I didn't do this . I truly think this was the problem of it chipping off. Keep it in the air and fly it like you stole it .
try to use water based light weight filler melted with some few water, apply it roughly with a paint brush,, Smootht the surface then sand with fine grain sand paper, you will add less weight to the model for the same results ;-)
Nice job fellows! Great video, nice to see you two enjoying the RC hobby!!!💪👍
I have the same AJ Slick. Love it!
It truly is an awesome flying airframe! We will have review of it coming soon. Are you running 4s or 6s?
@ I’m running 6s 1800mah packs in mine
Same here!
Great tips. Thanks!
Nice work gentlemen!
Great job.
Doesnt the spackle add unwanted weight to the plane?
Yes potentially, but it is a pretty minor weight increase, no more than 20grams.
Well done, cool video :) An easy way to fly pop tops (at least with my favorite plane): start in level flight with some speed, pull inverted, and cut the throttle, immediately initiate a negative snap roll by applying full down elevator, full right rudder, and some left aileron.
Great work guys! I hope Lowes is (or will be) throwing you some sweet endorsement cash.
Yeah no joke LOL🤣
My 67-inch Pilot RC Extra NG had wing rocking. Although annoying, it was self-correcting, so if you let the plane wing-rock nothing would really happen in the end.
Looks sweet guys. Subbed
Nice video! Great job. I use DAP light weight spackle to do exactly what you guys did. keep up the informative videos.
Good stuff 😎
👍 If this video helped you, give it a like and don’t forget to check out our other videos www.youtube.com/@4BrothersRC. Thanks for watching! ✌
Super job guys! Really nice for an Oldtimer like me to see two young ones pick up the hobby like you do!
Wow! You were right, that is good footage!
Thanks!
Nice job, glad you decided to repair it!
Yeah, when we checked it out after at home we realized it wasn't as bad as we had thought, although the propeller was in a sorry state lol.
Awesome video guys!
were you able to tell if it added much weight?
I don't think it added too much weight, since we used only enough to fill the voids and sanded off any that was unneeded, although in future we may use a lighter spackling.
@@4BrothersRC so no noticeable shift in the center of gravity?
@@jessdyba Fortunately none at all.
Amazing. Looks like new. 👍
Amazing job guys, but how much weight did it add?
I just use my hands and massage it in or use an old card. Also, try to experiment with using a wet paper towel to futher smouth out the spackle but good tutorial
As easy as A, B, C ! Nice, easy, and efficient job !
Thanks!
Great Job guys, we all crashed many of planes and Ive fixed some and just buried some for good. You both have a great future on YT, gave you a like and sub!!👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah, it definitely hurts a bit when you bury them for good😬. Thanks for the like and sub!
Love it and your comments
Dont let the gay FAA know lol good flying
No joke lol
Nice video guys ,is the piper cub 3D printed?
No it’s balsa, but it didn’t fly as it’s pretty tail heavy.
@4BrothersRC oh IT looks good
