The only problem is there's no Lua for forward programming from Ethos.
I would imagine it's being worked on. It just takes some time to get it right. Thanks for the comment and for watching!!!
@@TheTravelingTechGuy Farzu on RCgroups says he’s working on forward programming for Ethos, but we’ll have to be patient. I have lots of Spektrum receivers with gyros that I’d like to bind on my X18. For now I’m using EdgeTX on Radiomaster, which does FP.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the thumbs up and for watching!!!
“HaHa!” - Nelson Muntz
I'll definitely be going back next year. Great group of pilots!!
You guys sure know how to demonstrate Vmc roll. I’m always amazed how many RC pilots have no clue about how airplanes fly and basic aerodynamics
I'd add a spektrum ix14 then you got something
Thanks for the info and for watching!!!
Great info.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!!
The first one just hurts to watch 😭
Can you advise if this module supports Graupner HoTT RF protocol? Thanks!
Here's what I found in the list of protocols: #57,HoTT,Sync,No_Sync It should work but, I would reach out to tech support for the module to get 100% confirmation. Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
This hobby is dead this is what a tyrannical government is
Been meaning to check out this club I’m down in Richmond/katy
Nice field, Nice folks to fly with! Thanks for the comment and for watching!!!
need louder music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
sorry to say this dude but your guide stinks of horizon hobby. please be honest that you get sponsored and that's why you talk all about them. there is no shame in that but for noobs this is really mis leading. there is also a free sim that works with any transmitter called Phoenix. thanks
Sorry, I'm not sponsored by anyone. The gear and steps I recommend for beginners, are the same steps I would take if I was starting all over from scratch. Matter of fact, I did use the same steps when I got back into the hobby 18+ years ago. Phoenix is a good sim but, they are out of business. RF is the one that helped me practice in the beginning and since most of the models in the sim are out on the market today, you can, "Try before you buy" a particular model. I prefer using the included DX Interlink controller with my RF sim. The reason, I can plug it into my computer at any time and practice for as long as I want without having to stop and recharge my transmitter. If any manufacturer would like to sponsor a video or two or the channel, shoot me an email. :) Thanks for the comment and for watching!!!
I have the same setup. An issue that occurred with me was model settings being reset or deleted. I was using an orange receiver, happen twice to me and that was the last time I messed around with it . Maybe there's something I'm missing
Sorry to hear that. If you haven't already, check for a software update on the transmitter and the 4n1 module. If you have already done all that, I'd reach out to FrSky support to see if they have any answers. Thanks for weighing in and watching!!!
Than you all for being BRAVE enough to fly the things you pour yourselves into!!!
Im curious, since this is a stealth design, would a small rc version also be less detectable on radar? Id imagine a small plane like this would be completely invisible since the full size one already is nearly invisible 🤔
Due to the small size of the RC version, radar wouldn't be able to see it. Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
These Kolm engines are very impressive. I watched a video of these model P-51s that topped out at 190 miles per hour. I want to put one on a massive airboat.
That would be pretty cool! Hopefully, you could keep enough down force to keep the airboat from flying off? If you ever do it, get it on vid! Thanks for commenting and watching!!!
@@TheTravelingTechGuy You definitely wouldn’t have to worry about the thing flying off. The boat would be very heavy. The engine alone weighs 20 pounds. Then you have the hull, which I would build out of aluminum, which is at least another 10 pounds. Then you have your batteries, servos, receivers, fuel tank, motor mount, and various other things that add even more weight to it. The only thing I’d be worried about is the boat being too back heavy. You risk the chance of capsizing it and it wouldn’t get on plane. But that can easily be solved by putting the fuel tank and some lead weights in the front of it to balance it out.
@@UltraMagaFan2 Sounds like you have it all planned out! Would love to see that!Good luck!!!
Any advice on removing old monokote cove. Bought any old plane from someone. It has been in a garage in the hot Louisiana heat for years. The clear coating was falling off the monokote. Used a heat gun. Removed a lot of it. Went over it with packing tape heat. Removed a little more. Now I'm left with the orange cover adhesive in spots. If I use acetone it just smears. I'm going to cover it in the same color. Do I need to remove the rest. If so, any suggestions? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
If it's the same color, you don't have to remove all of it. To help the new covering stick because of old covering left, you can use Cover Grip covering adhesive. Here's a link to it if you would like to check it out: alnk.to/2jMkqWR Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
I got this FRSKY 20S and I wanted to program this thing so I could fly my RC model here in my ranch. not to fly a SpaceX or NASA rocket into orbit. Cause im not a rocket scientist… I’m gonna return this transmitter tomorrow. This is just a bad nightmare. Couldn’t even find those menus. Very frustrating to try to switch to this radio brand. What’s the best brand ? The old one JR that works wonders. Not going thru this.
Hate to hear you had trouble setting it up. I guarantee you I'm not a rocket scientist by any stretch of the imagination! I still have a hard time trying to program my FlySky PL18 transmitter but, I did find the X20s pretty straight forward on a basic set up for a plane. You didn't mention it in your post, did you also get the 4-n-1 module along with the transmitter to bind with your current receiver?
I know you got some fried chicken cooking
Haven't fried any chicken in quite a while.... I have been frying some shrimp and flounder though!
Can I use spectrum radio as a trainer with FR sky X 20 S please let me know. Thank you. I I got the external module for FR sky to work with other receivers. I just want to see if I can use my DX eight spectrum with FR sky X 20 s as a body box
Unfortunately you won’t be able to buddy box the two, together. Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
Nah the fact that that happened to a real b-2 is crazy
Are you actually saying that I can just buy 100LL and put two cycle oil and I can use that in my RC engine? At what ratio would one mix 100LL and oil?
Not sure what a 100LL is? If that is equivalent to a 100cc gas engine… I use 40:1 gas to two-cycle oil mix in all of my gas engines. Thanks for the comment and for watching!!!
@@TheTravelingTechGuy you mentioned AvGas or aviation fuel. 100LL is AvGas, 100 low lead. Thanks for your response.
Oh, okay, thanks!!
Get get a weed wacker
buy a rtf as your first, or a pnp if you already have a radio. buy somethingunder $200. youre going to crash it, you want to crash it. when you inevitably do, save all its parts. motor, prop, cowl, esc, servos, battery strap, y harness, hinges, control rods. later on down the road, youll find yourself building new airplanes out of the old ones(my flitetest millennuim flerken donated its parts to make an eclipson pitts s12). if youre sure youre going to love this hobby, you should start out with a radio(under $200) and a charger(under $200). my i6x and venom pro duo were $180 together, and will more than support you for the next 5 years at least. get some simulator time, the simulator can be invaluable for muscle memory(FSone is free and compatible with the i6x). DONT SPEND MONEY IF YOU DONT HAVE TO!! this hobby can be crazy cheap (under $500 total) or really expensive (over $1,000 aircraft) but that is entirely up to you. might want to look into 3D printing too!
100% agree, you don't have to spend a fortune to get into this hobby. Thanks for weighing in with your thoughts and for watching!!!
Really nice landing and beautiful Piper. What is the scale and manufacturer?
I believe it is a 1/4 scale cub. Not sure on the manufacturer? I think it may be a Hangar 9 model?? I'll see if I can find out and I'll let you know. Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
I recently went to the local Hobby store. The cheapest models to get set up with were a Grand for 4 ounces of Packaging material they called a plane. The realm of a flying hobby has been perverted over the last few decades. Then there's no where to fly without Being voted in at a $500 a year club full of know it all NAZI! I've flown Rockets, Planes and many Drones and I'm about done with it all.
Thanks for the thoughts and for watching!
Imagine if scaled up they could be that durable. I don't even think a helmet and 5 point harness could save you 😅
Interesting thought!!
FTFAA They're not god.
P63 King Cobra?!? Never heard of this one, it’s freaking gorgeous! Who makes this plane?
You can find ready to build kits out there but, the one in the video, was a real, full-scale aircraft. Unfortunately, it was the Cobra that crashed into the B-17 at the air show in Dallas, Texas.
Damn that’s a good looking livery.
Not only does it look awesome, it’s a rocket ship to boot! Thanks for commenting and watching!!!
No this was just flat out skill. Wow. Impressive.
Holy shit. That was bad.
All my laptops are outdated. I wish they would make a realflight simulator that can plug into a smart tv.
That would be nice if they did!
Those were called gaming consoles. The games were Brain Deadening Nothing.
@@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770 I'm talking about PC laptop's not gaming consoles. All i have thats functional is my phone m, so in order for the flight simulator to work I'd ha e to purchase another laptop or table top PC 🖥.
OMG 🙏🙏🙏 prayers for the passengers! Hopefully everyone was okay 👍 that's horrible. Thank God it didn't explode
All is good! It’s an RC jet.
As a rescue first responder I have seen worse.
Is There A Website where You Can buy a Complete Rc Gas plane?
There are plenty. Here are just four to get you started on your journey: towerhobbies.com horizonhobby.com legendhobby.com rcwarbirdmodels.com JR
Do you still have to deal with the other cylinder not starting but the rest starts?
I had to do some research on this topic as, I haven't experienced the issue with my DLE 111cc twin. From my research, the issue is possible and could be caused from either a faulty ignition cable on the affected side, an incorrect gap on a spark plug or, a possible hole in a piston. Like I said, I haven't experienced this issue and haven't heard anyone talking about it, lately. Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
@@TheTravelingTechGuy Appreciate the response man
I want that Pawnee

rc is dead. You are trying to sell cancer. Just play video games. No fee for that.
Oh, okay.... I wasn't aware RC was dead? Guess that means I get more airtime with my planes.
@@TheTravelingTechGuy I've flown most things that can go through the air and Flying IS a dying hobby. Don't kid your self..
@@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770Thanks for your view point but, I beg to differ. All of the clubs I visit, events I film and the growth spurt of my own home club, shows me the interest level of flying is still strong as ever.
Someone helps me to understand the Difference in between V1 and V2 RC Planes , please 🙏
V1, v2 and sometimes v3, refer to the version numbers of a particular model. There could be to a design flaw in the original model or the manufacturer, may decide to make changes to add new features to that model then, re-release it as v2, v3, etc. I hope that answered your question... Thanks for the question and for watching!!!
Thanks again 🎉
