Good maiden FGFRC! Heads up on the channel limitation and reverse thrust. Spektrum Rx and Spektrum ESC you dont need a 7th channel to control reverse thrust. Avian ESC Foward Programming and set to aux 2 or aux3 if your using Safe so its not on safe channel. Activating Reverse Thrust and Safe at same time isnt good outcome :(. Go into Channel assign and assign the switch you want to activate on the corresponding aux in FP...
Yep, I was just about to say the same thing, the ar631 can listen to 20 channels , it’s limited to 6 ports but doesn’t mean it can’t listen to more…. My ar631 are almost all configured to 8ch incl safe select and reverse
Greg great maiden, I agree its better than the V1. I like the Nose paint and the minwax. It is a 3D cargo beast. I like the scale flying without Safe or AS3X with this plane because of the scale look and purpose of why this plane was built. Great Job Camer Lady.
nice flight ! great looking plane....question ? why does it seem that no one puts a drop of oil on the axles ?🤣 that nail down the chalk board sound makes me cringe every time LOL .....have a good one...
Thanks for your maiden flight review. I am about to maiden my EC 1500. I really like the way you have it painted and especially the nose piece. I have flat water based Varathan Polyurethane to spray on mine. Can I ask a few questions? What did you have to cover or tape off to do yours? What did you paint the nose piece with? I really like how that looks. Keep the videos coming, good work!
Well the nose cone comes off so not need to cover or mask. I used that cheap craft paint Walmart sells in the craft section, black high gloss. Also I spray the entire plane after with a light coat of polyacrylic from minwax.That protects the paint like a good wax job does on cars. Here is my video on it: th-cam.com/video/ihQNpO_W2Ew/w-d-xo.html
@@FatGuyFliesRC thank you for your prompt response. I have painted the nosecone of mine black like you did yours, I think it looks very good so mine now clearly has the fat guy RC modification. I limit a much more space constrain environment than you, we have moved from my house and garage to a two bedroom condo so I have made a way to store mine on the wall with the wings and tail surfaces off and made a carrier for the car to support all those so it can be transported safely as well. I have a little bit of touchup to do on the original paint and then will coat it with a clear satin spray paint. I am looking for an extra “Marines” decal for the bottom of one wing. I am also doing the modification of adding low bounce wheels to try and make it sound a little better on takeoff and landing rolls.
Try a food grade silicone like this one: www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Silicone-Grease-1-Pack-88693/dp/B000DZFUPC/ref=sr_1_8?crid=9P1RS9DE0BUS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qZk-1V36Dc9xw5t5xw5hAXICSvMZ0lkWeAEGRyiFDXcXU7BR8HvtNzLEDn4dJPJNTcOI306RTHrS3VVS0IM_iiTNJlax2wjUIH5ewvIuyGnksGFB6FdOxEu1xsEMs0uwNqXTItUNeMw9haoyZL5hjK_mk02Dgm6Z2JlybJq0u-HOCGwbZUHCHGvzufney1yV_cvhVFuDv3B732G66X3x8BDNno6dKTcRP_DPBxcIPbE.T7R1vEJ4NMZSClcuE-T47R5naYzvf6WvkxxQVHTUdI4&dib_tag=se&keywords=food+grade+silicone+grease&qid=1724374834&sprefix=food+grade+sil%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-8 It will help with the landing gear noise.
Well this EC-1500 flies as good and perhaps better than my first one!
Good evening from Belgium Europe, your reviews are always very interesting and usefull thank you very much. Kind regards, Peter, 62 years old.
Well thank you and greetings to you also.
Thanks for the grass Ops. This is a plane that would do well off our club's grass runway.
You could fly this out of a swamp, she is really way to powerful.
The perfect maiden flight greg, beautiful scale flying and great landings...jeff.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful bird. Nice Flying for sure in any direction. I want one but that’s my problem, I want a bunch of them LOL
Yeah it is an illness, so many planes I want , not enough money and really not enough space!

Yeah I need to dive into that more.
Nice video brother!! 💯
Thanks!
Your breathing hard buddy, LOL comes with maiden flights for free.😊
Yeah , this one was not free though , this plane I paid full price for. Thanks for the visit. I need to turn the volume down on this mic LOL

Thanks, yeah I am thinking of putting a regular none gyroed receiver in her. Very stable so it is not needed.
I agree@@FatGuyFliesRC

Well so many things are harmful to foam. I like to use (when i do) a silicone food grade lube.
Once I started flying FPV I can't go back to line of sight flying like this
I tried it, I made me sick.

@@FatGuyFliesRCordered, thank you
Just got one “used” hope it flys better , my V1 has a sticky elevator
Hope it flies well for you too.
I noticed you gave it up trim on your first takeoff. Did you give it the 3 mm of down trim per the manual? I ended up taking it out myself
Yeah and I regretted it. Level is the way to go.
did you do a build video for the EC-1500
Thank you.
Some very great tips right here budd thanks and liked and subbed from way down Under OZ
Thanks for the sub! And thanks!!!
