just had a thought.... take the wheels off.... then get a long slip and slide and land on that nice and slippy no damage good for belly landings lol
I don't see how the nose wouldn't dip in every time, since it's pointed down...but again, I admittedly PREFER wheel up, wheels down.
I’m driving up from Georgia with a truckload of Emerald Zoysia and re-sodding Brian’s yard. I’m not a golf course superintendent, but junior high thru college I picked up range balls, parked carts and cleaned clubs, so my knowledge of turf-care I got thru osmosis.
X-Fly, where planes come factory BADASS. Just like that pilot givin'ner HELL
Interesting take ;)
what a beautiful plane....!! i love the colors...
So funny, I love it too, but literally the comment BEFORE is "...hat is the worst color I have seen on a plane yet. Especially a jet..." Can't make this up ;) LOL!!!
Glad you love it, I do too!
P.S. Two colors available ;)

thanks for your videos i flew my first RC plane today the sport cub s 2 i loved it you were right i am hooked i ordered the aero scout this old man loves rc flying now.
AWESOME! Glad you're getting along in the progression!!!

I have a cool thing that may make a good video. I saw something called a WowWee Hydraquad, it can drive in the ground, fly, and drive underwater. It’s for kids but may be a cool video. Just a suggestion! Not sure how well it works.
Looks like a fun one! We'll look into it Gannon!
I love the honesty on this channel. I did not buy the Rafael as my skill in EDF is not at a point where I would be able to land it. Thanks Brian
One might be coming you could seriously consider soon ;) (easier option for the Rafael - but it'll be a few weeks at the fastest, fyi)
Good talk! When you do the A10 Thunderbolt from XFLY I think you'll like it more. It's really fun and easy and with its wing shape it is also much easier to orientate. Just like you I have little time or interest to make a bad flying plane flying good when it takes to much work as there are so many other great flying planes right out of the box.
100% Thanks ;)
Glad it's dry at your house I love on the Gulf coast of Alabama and it's our rainy season been raining everyday randomly and random nast thunder storms everyday just about as well for the last month and a half and it's raining and storming today again
We just got rain all weekend, and a few nice breaks for flying ;) But it's been sooooooo dry, we're still probably in a drought.
Hi again and thanks for your Email via TH-cam. I can't help liking what ya said about rudder. Yank and bank is okay until one wants to finesse an approach from base leg to final and landing. First rc plane was a Balsa and shrink sheet I was building in the 80's with a nitro engine. After weeks of the build I swapped it for a car engine (real size). Then in say 1993 When then mrs was pregnant, I bought the largish powered glider (2500 mm span). 7.2 nicad, 2 channel 28 mhz. ya switched on plane and always had to keep in the air until battery died (Rudder and elevator only channels). So Maiden flight crash was a laugh. Up on a hill so I put tiny trim adjustment coz I could see all the levels on the horizon. Damn it , I freaked out when I learned that flying towards me needed opposite rudder. I tried to stall it out by yanking on elevator but it just looped and nearly hit me. Imagine the pulse rate having to put it in a tree instead of through someones window ahahah. Good thing about RC pilots is that we laugh with and not at pilots. I have ordered a pair of counter rotating 50 mm edfs to add to my collection. Reason is attempt to build a Harrier vtol avoiding torque roll on take off. I know t like a he math to make it launch like a quad and fly like an airplane but wow the mixes are gonna do my head in for the transition ahahhahah.
Awesome Stephen! Glad you survived that maiden flight!!! ;)
Looks great nice flying.
It sure does!
Cool plane. I dont fly my f15 64mm alot because im a newer pilot and it disappears certain times of the day. Safe has saved that plane ALOT from loss of orientation. Also it would be cool if you could review some of the big freewing jets like the mig 29 twin 80mm.
Yes. When you get a bit more experience, you'll learn how to feel out what direction you're going....but then there's times that it's still just down-right impossible to tell.
Here's something to try next time you get disoriented....
when flying, level out, the best you can...cut throttle to less than half, comfortably above stall speed.
Pick a direction, up or left or right. Execute slowly. If you see the tip lift, then you can start to feed in a left or right input. this will help you establish your direction. Try you best to make you BETWEEN the sun and the plane...usually easier said than done in these conditions, I realize, but you can work closer to that end and you'll be surprised how huge the impact will be.
It's all about knowing what direction the plane starts MOVING. You'll usually have it sorted out in a few short seconds that feel like hours!!! ;)
Give it a try some time, and if you still can't figure it out, SAFE it is.
P.S. No shame in SAFE - EVER - save the plane!!! Just won't always have SAFE, so start picking up some of these tricks while you can.
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah I need to start going to my field late in the day instead of morning. The sun is right in my face in morning and its really not much fun to fly while being blinded. In the afternoon it will put me between the sun and plane. Thanks
Hi Brian and Meagan (or Megan). As usual a good presentation. I often cheat and record your channel coz if the weather is to crappy to fly here in South Aussie, I can still be entertained. A friendly remark about something that happened with the Bae Hawk crash that ya no doubt figured out anyway. Higher torque roll at hand launch (guessing up near 70,000 rpm using 4s on 3s motor). This SU 27 review is helping me decide about the F-111 I wish to build from scratch (1400 mm span open, 780 fully swept). Hmmm , use my 70 mm 12 blade 1800g thrust or my twin 50 mm 11 blades at 950g thrust each. Always Curious about the Attraction of 6s aircraft. Gee Brian, I looked at the Freewing A6 intruder. 1170 mm span, 80 mm fan, 2250 g weight and over a grand in Australia for like 5 minutes flight time gentle on a 4000 Mah 6s battery. Sorry for the rant but my first modified jet is a Durafly Vampire. Got rid of the 5 blade and popped on an 11 blade disc, took out landing gear and get like 15 minutes of cruising about on 3200 3s or good hard 7 minutes on 4s. My kindest regards to you, camera crew and your family. P.S. I never legally flew full size but my ex father in law had a small airline and when my brother in law and I would fly Freight , he used to let my do circuits from time to time.😉
Thanks and very Cool Stephen! Thanks for sharing! I think this one has a solid power system, but it's a bit heavy for the thrust. I'd like to see these jets at 1:1 or so power to weight to help with battery chewing tendency. I've flown her 3 times now, and noticed that I really need to get that pack BACK to allow for good elevator authority, and I LONG for a freaking rudder!!!!!!! I hate not being able to line up with the runway well. Makes me feel like a BAD pilot ;(
NOOOO NOT THE TIP 😳😱 lol
Cool EDF Jet 🔥 Seems to fly nice 👌
I hate when you dip JUST the tip, and it rips off - OOOOOOOOOCH!
What great flight . Nice one Brian
Thanks John!
So glad to see your vid Brian my one is due soon hopefully next week (early) but great info on it big salute 🫡 to you and Megan, Gaza 🇬🇧
Good luck! and Enjoy!!!
Hope to see a second thoughts video on this one Brian where you compare the flight characteristics and handling between the 2700mah 4S Spektrum Smart lipo and the 2200mah.
We're planning for a second thoughts, but I will be using 2200mAh 4S or SMALLER...the plane is just too heavy at 2700mAh, in my opinion.
Good to know Brian, your opinion is always greatly appreciated.
Hey !! You two are Awesome... I really like the videos you put out. Thanks for sharing.
Consider setting up a good Aileron/Rudder Mix with a proper Flight Mode Bias !! Essentially, while in a stabilized Landiing Configuration, any commanded Aileron Input provides a corresponding Rudder Input to assist in Line-Up and Roll Axis augmentation... My Flight Modes are all tailored to assist with various corrections of this type... I do this similar thing with my nose wheel steering sensitivity using Expo ! Your Flaperons are WaaaaaayCool also Amigo !! Cheers
We've had good luck mixing in ailerons to rudder like this. Also, another cool way to get some yaw authority, is to make a clear rudder ON the nose gear bogey. I wonder if that would be enough ??? Either way, some rudders make the planes ROLL badly, almost more than ailerons - LOL - and I bet this is why they didn't install them. I still can't help but wonder if that would make this one fly more like I want...especially for landings.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Well I guess you'll need to just cut in some Rudders on this one and 'Try Em Out' ... Best of Luck to you two !! Love the Videos, ThanksAgain for sharing !
What a great flying model. The prototype saw the battle this year. Great livery!
Would you consider to make some differential thrust? Maybe it will help.
Besides, are the EFDs counterrotating?
Great review, thank you.
Thanks Michael!
Thanks your narrative was interesting. Enjoying modifying planes can be a curse because it can eat up a lot of time, so easy to go "over budget" time-wise, lol.
Also appreciate that you do not attempt to sell more difficult airplanes to beginners or tell pilots they need to fly tail-heavy CG which is a dangerous experiment for beginners let alone more experienced pilots.
Most channels are pretty good but there are a very few who are more interested in making sales, garnering subscribers and stroking there ego's above all else.
FINALLY! That thing is sooooo gorgeous. Been waiting for you to review this before I bought one. It looked like a fun jet that I could play around with mixes with. Like flaperons (which you did) but also have the elevators on separate channels as well. That way I could just go wild and try different setups. Also the fact that I could just throw it in my car and go fly somewhere. Honestly for the latter reason I was also thinking about the 50mm Habu. If you had to pick one which would it be and why? This did seem like it flew well. I'm also wondering which of the two is faster?
Anywhooooo.. Great video as always, Brian. Thank you for what you do!
Habu is not a TWIN, and thus it's less a "battery eater" but this one looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better ;)
Nice carrier landing 😉
LOL - Exactly!!!
Imagine having an rc plane with trust vectoring 🥶🥶
They do exist, but I think it's a bit gimicky...right size control surfaces, and they're really not necessary. I'd sooner make a movable battery tray, so you could shift the CG back for crazy maneuvers...
And all this time I been hearing a jack black voice from school of Rock.
That's good too (I guess????) ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC sure is, yavcant go wrong with that. Ya both be famous for that sound. 🤪
Hmmm I fly mine on 5000 4s all the way to the back stop, gets 5 mins and flys like a beast! Have the fms f15 on same batt, all full rates and they're roll like a psycho and hoon round stable as hell!
Super video And super, super
Thanks Leon!
I fly mine on 2600 that seems to be the best option because I almost melted my plane on 2200 the batteries were so hot and dead lol. And I also did flapperons on mine and added working rudders as well.
Did the Rudders work well for you? I've been considering adding them too. I just want to have control...
@@BrianPhillipsRC They work well actually and they don't really roll the plane much. You have good yaw control to get the nose pointed where you want. I highly recommend doing it and wiring them is pretty easy as well. The Elevator servo wires run right under so you can just follow those wires. I have a video of it if you would like to see them in action. (Not trying to promote! haha)
There's a a couple competitive options that makes 4S 2500's which I've heard flies okay to decent on this plane, but boy would it be nice if Horizon were to update their old 4S 2700 batteries with a Gen2 version.
I think they will do them all, but they're having difficulties with supply chain, just like all the RC companies ;(
That looks fun! Is the foam strong enough to belly land on a grass/dirt strip?
Beautiful Plane!
It's going to get beat up for sure. Especially at the inlets...I already have damage from rolling through the grass with wheels installed.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Okay. Thanks for letting me know!
Great super Airplane🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Indeed it is!
this looks like a smaller version of the twin 64mm flyfans' current SU27
Real nice indeed 😎
It's a looker, but if you go for it, think SMALL BATTERY. I might need to try flying her on one of the RCHacker batteries we used in that P-51 Voodoo.
Great review thanks for the useful advice as always! #stayepic
Thanks ;)
Just out of curiosity. What would be the footage of your runway, from where this jet took off, to the end of the concrete where it was taking off please? We have 150’ to work with at our club. Well manicured grass at each end of the hard surface. Thanks Brian.
Our "runway" is something like 225 ft from the center of the turn around to the bottom of the slope where the driveway turns to exit the yard (measured from center to center).
👍😁
thanks ;)
Do you like this or the FMS Rafale better??
Sir u need some help or info for my new carbon cub s2 1.3m. Ailerons are not going to the neutral position when I turn everything on. The both are goin in the down position. Everything seems to work when I give it commands but will not flattening out level when I let go of the stick. Any info or solutions would be appreciated. Love yalls vids. Started in the plane hobby because of you and camera crew. Lol
This is a very tough quesiton. There's a load of issues that could cause this situation.
Can you make a video, and then just tell me it's up when it's done, and I'll watch it? I can comment there, when I see it.
Just don't send a link...just say "the video is up on my channel, can you check it out" - links will put it in a "Held for review" area...
So make a video and post it on my profile or something? I can't post videos in your comments or anything can i?I?? Sorry for bothering you boss..
Arrived 1 Hello Brian😉😉😉😉good morning
Hello there!
I mean will I need to buy a new flight controller ?? Lol
I doubt it's your transmitter.
Well I've reached out to Horizon Hobby.. They're really busy but I asked if my aileron servo horns could've come from the factory not in the correct position. The person on Facebook messenger said that it's quite possible. I will do a lot video though. Thanks you for getting back with me sir..
Hey bossman. Just wanted to update you in my carbon cub ailerons issue. I adjusted the servo horns and now everything seems to be doing what it's supposed to do. Very excited for my maiden flight soon. Thanks for everything yall do brother..
Brian are you a pilot in real life?
Not in the General Aviation sense. I'm a PPG pilot- Part 103 - no PPL needed ;)
Technically the answer to your quesiton is YES, but you're asking if I have a Private Pilot License, or a Commercial Pilot License, which I do no ;(
Differential thrust on a twin edf? Is that an option?
Why would you want that.. the thrust lines aren’t far enough apart to do much for you
I've done it, and it's not a huge impact, but it can be super fun!
I have a question, don't know if you can solve it though. But for some reason my nx6 transmitter when I turn it on my screen glitches out and I can't see it everything works fine sound and everything but the picture the glitches out and sometimes it won't show up what's the cause for that
I would contact Horizon Hobby or Spektrum and get to the bottom of it. Do it before you have an accident because of it.
I have to assume it's intermittent? If so, you could try to find a loose cable, if you wish, but better to send it off for repair, or upgrade to NX8 - don't forget whatever you do, backup your models if at all possible to the Micro SD Card so you can pull them back out into another Tx, if you get a replacement.
...forgot to mention, I've never heard of it, Dallas.
What do you need for the su-27 like battery transmitter and receiver because the product says it don’t include any of that but the plane and screws
This is what we used:
bprc.me/4S_2200
bprc.me/AR631
bprc.me/TX (We originally set our up on the NX8, but are now using an NX10.)
XFly planes are always PNP (Plug and Play) meaning you provide your receiver/transmitter of choice as well as the flight battery. Hope that helps!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you so muxh
Man I would’ve been all over that if it had full flying stabs
I thought they would be so cool, but we've ween more than a few planes with issues from them ;) (I have a very expensive, 3 flights old, dead one possibly for this very reason???)
Russian jets r excepttional at hi alpha & that is how to land them, be it on wheels or belly
I need to get the CG way back to be able to do this, and high alpha without rudders is a recipe for disaster ;(
Yo im Russian I love it
Glad you like it! :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks I’m trying to get in the hobby and I bought a Eachine warbirds learnt to fly and now bought the viper 50mm and dxs transmitter and a 4 channel recover and it does not work properly
The best part of that plane is that it has Ukrainian markings. Slava Ukraini!!
Cool! I didn't even notice!
Hello, We watch tour videos and love them, we love to the hobby, but as you know it can expensive. We are looking for a donation plane. I am 12 and love the hobby, not asking for hand out, just seeing if anyone has one they would want donate for good cause we would be blessed
I am experience pilot of 2 years just looking for decent airplane
Thanks for being here with us! Good luck with your search! At 12 years old, it's a tough time of life - almost old enough to work, but still have to ask Mom and Dad for help paying for stuff like this. I get it!!! I too was a young man myself, an haven't forgotten that period of my life...but in my case, my Mom had just died of cancer, and my Dad was learning to take care of two young boys all alone...so he was very easy to spend in the hobby shop. This is how we got spoiled with our RC-10's and RC-10T for my brother, but it was also a very difficult time of life, for obvious reasons.
My suggestion, is to get a job as soon as you can do it, with your parents blessing of course, and start figuring out what you want and how much it's gonna cost. Life comes at you fast, and better start learning how to do it now. I can tell you that you'll never had more "free money" than you will in the next few years of your life...I know, you'll feel like it's not much, but wait till you have a family spending it FOR YOU ;) It's a lot harder than you might realize at this age, but the sooner you learn to make money work for you, the better you'll be. Good luck, and keep learning!
