Marauder looked great! It will be cool to see it with different decals. It is worth a custom look. I loved the Steven repair commentary. It was like a BBC Nature documentary but with Steve. Hopefully I can make it out next Sunday and try to land on the Opterra. My 6" chaser quad is ready :)
It did fly very well but at take off was really nose heavy-I maxed out on up elevator trim and it still wanted to drop the nose! I'll get that sorted out, but it was very solid and stable in the air. Very slow and easy with full flaps- definitely a good flying plane.
You heading out this Sunday? Despite my 6" catching on fire yesterday I still plan on bringing something to fly if guys are heading out. It will be good for me to get a flight in before I watch another heartbreaking 49er game.
Hi guys, those planes were amazing, I liked the jets, but there's nothing like a multi engined air plane, it looks sooooo cooooll. Awesome video guy's. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Geesh. Y'know I really love the great HD drone airal shots of rc planes in action and I also really love the cool rc group comradery but if I'm honest Steve getting trolled by the camera narrator makes me wanna spit out my drink when watching and that's a strong factor that keeps me coming back for more. 🤔💩😂
It was much more nose heavy than I expected even with a smaller 3600 mAh pack up front. Even adding all the possible elevator trim on the radio it was still dropping the nose. Once the battery is pushed further back and fully trimmed it will be much better - not a hard plane to fly, just way out of trim.
Discover RC I noticed it was crowded out there, but it is also the big boy out there. It is polite in that it gives others a chance to get out of its way.
Dang you make Steve sounds like me . That is what I do and I demand complete silence when I work on things . If I dont get that then I tell the owner of the plane I cant repair it and go on . When I start work on something or biuld something it has to be perfect and better than what is once was . I can not be distracted , disturbed or even watched over . It is an OCD thing I think . 100% at what I do and want 200% out of my self . That is what takes me so long to do anything .
So I totally thought it was about to stall out at 12:04 but it recovered somehow by a miracle and then just stalled out later trying that manuver one to many times again and end up down in the grass. 😅🤣
Thank you for the great episode, John. Always fun to watch. Steve is an unsung hero of RC. Godspeed, Steve.. Godspeed.
Thanks - and completely agree, Steve is the man!
Steve is a legend in his own mind!
Wow, the B-26 is beautiful! Love the looks of twins.
agree about twins! I liked it best slow and dirty :)
Steve is this best! Sort of the wingman we all deserve.
the wingman we need.
Another great episode John loved the Steve commentary! Huge thumbs up for the editing this week too
thanks friend!
Great videos! ! Love them keep up the good work i appreciate it all!!
thanks Leo!
The 26 flew great. Can't wait to see what graphics you pick. This was one of the best vlogs, very entertaining. The riff on Steve was incredible.
Thanks man! Steve was working slow and carefully so I had to fill in that time :)
This is up there with the 2016 rewind as one of my favorite videos!
thanks Isaac!

Plan to be there - there is a small chance I could end up at work, but should be able to make it. Quad on fire. Hmmm seems not normal?
Definitely not normal and it flew great. I think I had a poor solder joint on the positive lead on the XT60.
love callie's graphics. used them on my cal fire sea duck and my stoneblueairlines p-51 build. great prices.
yes great point - her prices are always good even for custom work.
You guys always look like you're having a fun time! Gotta take the flying days when you can. :)
more pilots more fun! yes - fly when you can!!
AWESOME!!!! loved it... Got some great footage man!! Thanks for sharing.. and great commentary.. :)
thanks Nick!
Enjoyed the video...love my Opterra too.
thanks Mark - the Opterra brotherhood!
What I did to my Opterra was I painted the wing tips and the battery cover all red, can't wait until I fly it.
custom paint is always good - have a great flight, let me know how it goes!
Discover RC. When I fly it I'll let you know.
Hi guys, those planes were amazing, I liked the jets, but there's nothing like a multi engined air plane, it looks sooooo cooooll.
Awesome video guy's. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Hey Mikey - agree with you on the multi engines -they look and sound so good! I am tossing around the idea of putting a sound system in the Marauder.
Discover RC now that would sound 🔊 amazing, add a touch more realism to it. ☺
I get a kick out of seeing the 'No Step' on the B17s flaps. Every time.
yeah I tried to step on it - sign is there for a reason
If a plane flies better than I would, then it is good!
PS. Please don't test that out, I don't want to fall.😂
your club got some real nice looking planes in there collection :D
thanks - we had a good turnout :)
Too bad for the purple jet, nice job on the marauder Maiden !
thanks :) I am sure the jet will be back.
Geesh.

🤔💩😂
ROFL - that's why the cameraman shows up. Just to troll Steve. ;)
Twins allways sound better huh? :)
Good stuff man! Looks like it flew very nicely! Congrats on the successfull maiden offcourse :D
Twins are great indeed! It did fly quite well, just needs some cg adjustment but it grooves very well and slows up nicely for landing.
Well score! :) Nice plane for the fleet I'd say :) It definately has a nice air presence :)
The Marauder did look sweet and looked a bit of a handful to fly. It would of not lasted with me I'll stay with cars :-)
It was much more nose heavy than I expected even with a smaller 3600 mAh pack up front. Even adding all the possible elevator trim on the radio it was still dropping the nose.

Nice VLOG!!
hey thanks! You should come fly at our little club.
I like the opterra!
it survived some crowded air space today :)
Discover RC I noticed it was crowded out there, but it is also the big boy out there. It is polite in that it gives others a chance to get out of its way.

You should sell Steve branded adapters, with all of his sponsors on them. Lol.
lol maybe Steve will read that
Discover RC, hope so lol.
Great video! Miss flying there. Guys flying this Sunday?
yes plan to!
So I totally thought it was about to stall out at 12:04 but it recovered somehow by a miracle and then just stalled out later trying that manuver one to many times again and end up down in the grass.
😅🤣
yeah that was a handful - Thomas was working hard to keep that one flying!
I hate to see the Futura crash, I had to hug mine after that. Did it get too slow? Great video, thanks for posting.
that one hurt :( it's so smooth in the air. I think it was a case of too low too slow. Nate will get it going again I am sure.
So what happened the 2nd weekly jet that it decided to take a nose dive just at the last moment?
don't know exactly but it was getting slow so that may have been it.
My Eflite Rare Bear is Purple with Orange
yes - another purple plane!
Nice
That commentary lol
Was the FT Viggen a ducted fan or was a pusher-motored thrust-vectoring arrangement?
it's an edf
Nice..
you are Yeties.....ÄHHHHHH JETIES
Poor purple jet!
it keeps bouncing back!
Are you going to get the e flitr sr22t?
that's a good looking model - was considering getting one and the shop has it, but will probably pass. I have to limit things due to space and cost.
Discover RC ya i just got one as a replacement for my timber 😂
nice! How do you like it?
Discover RC don't have it yet its on back order till November, but i hear nothing but good things
it really looks good in the video - nice and scale.
Prince🙃 didnt die he metamorphosize she is now princess pretending to be his sister😨
uhh hmmm not sure....maybe?
Hello
Wow just buy another jet!!!
That's a long intro.....
you should be just about through it by now.
Nice
