All I can say is you must have the best wife in the world to have your second love of RC planes , I just bought my second plane and my wife a big hissy fit . And your wife does an awesome job as your camera and vid editing person
At last a Tutorial on how to bash your plane around and (break) it in right on its maiden flight....ive had my Eflite V-1 SR22 for 3 years now and 100s of flights on it and its still in better condition than Brians Brand New Plane... :)
LOL - YES!
This became one of my fav episodes. Lessons, tips and useful info for all levels. Then the plane itself. Cavernous fuse and easer gear access. A def plus for any model. Good one BP!
Thanks! Great plane and worthy of our interest ;) Loved flying V1 and now Love flying V2 ;)
The details in the planes from Horizon seem to be improving all the time, I just got mine , truly a grate looking plane.
They really are! Exciting times to be into RC!!!
Beautiful plane! Great vid as always!
Glad you enjoyed it - Thanks!
I was waiting for you to do the review on the upgraded SR22T and here it comes... as always your content us super awesome !
Glad we could come through on this beauty, and what a plane! You need it ;)
Watched every minute it was a great vid awesome sunset , "crash" , fixin plane, always killin it!!
SWEEET! Thanks Crutch!
I have the version 1 Cirrus and really enjoy flying it. It’s one of my relaxing planes. I do envy this red paint scheme. The blue and white on mine tends to blend in with the sky and clouds.
Absolutely it does, but still a beauty all the same! Might be time for an upgrade??? ;)
I wish! I just picked up the FMS P-40 1400mm. Watching your video review lead me to it. Right now that’s my favorite to fly!
Is it possible to change paints? I also have the blue one and would like the red one
I learn more from mistakes sometimes then from when things go right. Big aha moment for me! I use SAFE mostly as a rescue switch when I get into trouble from time to time. So after minor crash/repair and feeling like I upgraded the plane with metal servos even if they were reversed on the transmitter it never dawned on me that SAFE/AS3X would work in the wrong direction. I only tested that they were active after the repair. And went I got into trouble and flipped the SAFE switch and gave myself a major crash -- I could not figure out why!! Now I know. Thank you Brian! Keep doing dumb things like the rest of do. Love the channel.
So glad we're helping you some in your progression. Stabilization / AS3X and SAFE correction directions have done in more than a few planes in my RC "Carer"...but it's one that you'll never forget...till the next time - LOL ;)
Yeah its always nice when you confirm 100% for sure what made the plane crash into mother earth
What a beauty in the air.
Good work buddy. 🙂👌
Thanks! She sure is!!!
Another great video! Thank you for taking the time to create content for us all. Watching your videos makes me feel like I am just hanging out with a friend while they fly and build. I was also wondering about the servo you replaced, should you make sure they are centered before installing them or does it not matter?
Make sure they're centered after it's in the socket, since I 100% guarantee you'll move it on the way into that ridiculous slot - LOL ;)
I ended up using one of these... Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw
Always helpful to see the good, bad and ugly. Especially what to do about the bad and ugly.
yeah, it's not fun to crash a new plane, but goodness gracious, it looks brand new still after TWO crashes!!! Still looks like a supermodel to me
I'm one of the few that still have a new V1 in the box. This one will be joining it soon!! NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍
Why ? :)
@@michelpetrus I MAY be the only guy on the planet left that has one
PLUS, if you check my channel, my first Cirrus had a tough go of it! 😁👍💥🛩
NIB - CRAZY How'd you resist so long!!!!!!!!!
Nice video and a very nice plane. I think you pushed the battery beyond the limit. It happened to me once, I took off my T-28 and didn’t payed attention to my radio warnings and I crashed, that’s the hobby. I also have a Cirrus, it’s a beautiful plane.
Excellent video - great aircraft - will definitely consider buying one. I like the new 4K resolution - totally worth the effort to upload the larger file size.
Thanks Jeff! Glad you're enjoying it! Maybe you could drop an email to Elon Musk and ask him to speed up our Starlink ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC I've tried contacting Elon but he won't return my calls 😅 How do you like the Starlink service, other than the limited upload speeds?
Love the scale... and the color... Nice
100%
Really good looking plane..! it looks amazing on the air..! I have to stop looking your videos, every time I want a new plane 😉😁
Sorry to temp you Luis ;)
Just bought under your link. Keep up great vids.
Brian. Love this plane. I too have the V1. Love flying it scale just near sunset. 👍👍😉
yes, exactly!
Until this video, I wasn’t really too interested in this, but now seeing you fly it, I think it looks and flies great!
You need one BAD...and didn't even realize - LOL ;)
I'm glad they did a V2 of this plane. The v1 is what brought me to your channel. I remember sitting at my kitchen table after I built it trying to figure out how to set up the safe select for over an hour, but I found your video on TH-cam and had it set up in a matter of minutes. Still have the v1 and will be buying the v2 sense its the only cirrus I can afford. Unfortunately don't have the million dollars for a real one🤣. Can't wait to fly it on 4s!
Very cool! Glad you've come full circle with us ;) Love hearing stories about this, and don't worry, I don't have the cool $1,000,000 for a real one either ;)
Wow. Such a strong plane.
War Eagle!
Sure is!
Ordered mine, it will be here Saturday. Hoping to have no wind here in sw Kansas. Great video folks👍🛩
Have fun! You'll love it!!!!! Happy flying ;)
Definitely a beautiful looking air frame, Iv'e been caught on a small crash that stripped the servo gears, cant believe how delicate they are, metal gears would be more sensible like on the heavier air frames. So far my Cub V1 1.3mtr still goes well after 3 years although had a couple of indiscretions but no problems with the servos. Tony from Australia
yes, I replaced it with one of these - Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw
thanks for the video, very informative
You're welcome!
Nice flying man very impressive
Thanks!
One of my flight buddies just got one of those Sirius planes and It really makes me want one .
Get one! Cirrus SR22T bit.ly/3r7ASe0
Questo sarà il mio prossimo modello, è super! Tu sei molto bravo. W il volo. 👏🏻👌🏻
Thanks, and glad to hear! You'll love it!!!
Cirrus SR22T bit.ly/3RRwPhC
@@BrianPhillipsRC Grazie mille ma Horizon non spedisce in Italia. Per fortuna qui ci sono degli store che hanno questo modello. Continua a fare questi video bellissimi!!
You certainly have the luck of the Irish , my crashes are never that gentle , lol
Cool plane !
I sure do! ;)
Picked up mine today from the local hobby shop, now time to order some 4s 3200s 😊
Compliments to your wife for the excellent filming - class!
Oh yes, you fly ok too ;-)
Greetings from the Netherlands
Many thanks! She is amazing!!!
HAHA salle crash no big deal! Today I lost my CHEROKEE in strong windy afternoon I let it just go too far and lost radio signal! So... RIP CHEROKEE dunno where it crashed... So... will now purchase this CIRRUS and keep rock'n rolling all of my 1,5m foamies on 4S 4000... with TIMBER X, TURBO TIMBER, AIR TRACTOR, VAN'S RV7, MAULE, these are my latest and favorites!!! Thanks Meg and Brian 😊
Same plane I'm flying in class , I'm gona have to buy this next !
You fly with Angelina??? LOL ;) Very cool! You're flying a 3/4 million dollar plane for training?!?!? AWESOME!
@@BrianPhillipsRC lol I was dying with the commentary and there a bit older but still better than the high wing Cessna.
Looks awesome
It is excellent!
Beautiful bird!
100% She is a looker!
Dude you’re the best I want you autograph 👌✈️
Beautiful looking plane, well presented!
Many thanks!
Once again another great video Brian I'll have to add this to my collection, I'll get gas for the truck latter. Lol
LOL - You might need to get two or three of these for the price of that gas!!! LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC I have a lot of love and respect for you and what you do, you and your family brought me a good time, I have been apart of RC since the 60s. Every video you and camera Crew/ your wife,. ( I Have A BIG Happy face). Thank you for sharing and the smile.......
Great video everyone crashes on my third plain because I crashed lol. But it's awsum to fly. Started with helis witch def helped for orientation.
thanks!
yeah so I am new to the hobby and I kinda went in on it hard lolz ive been at it for almost a month and have broken 3 planes completely to the point of no return XD, 2 of them were the small P-51's and one was a 400mm G-Ncub (that yello crop duster looking plane). So I went out and bought the 800mm Corsair F4U Warbird and I've been through 8 Props and still have yet to get that dang thing up in the air! So to appease myself from all my failures I ordered, and as of yesterday received, the P-51 Voodoo! Actually got that idea from your review video of that little thing. I have had 2 successful flights and 0 crashes with that little thing! I mainly crash on takeoffs, like with that F4U warbird, but once i'm in the air im solid, I can figure 8, i've done a few cornholes, I even did an upside down 3d pass with my 2nd P-51 that is now basically in the graveyard of planes hahaha so I'm very familiar with crashing but it's just part of the deal lolz. Oh and I bought the Ultimate 3D bi-plane which i believe is a 1.2mm and it is being delivered tomorrow XD I know its bigger than the Corsair but after watching your video review on it (even though im a beginner) I just had to have it hahaha! Well thankyou for all your very informative and engaging videos as I get super deep into this awesome hobby!
P.s ~ The impersonation's you do are absolutely hilarious(especially your trump impersonation lolz its spot on!), and I crack-up whenever you are talking planes and the inferences you make towards your wife off of those 'relatively modest' comments
Hello Brian,its,eccellent repair😉😁😁😁😁🔝🔝🔝🔝
Hey, thanks!
Plane looks so good! Of all the low wing planes,which one would be the best trainer to start with? I need a battery checker that gives the cells and battery % left. What is the spektrum part number?
XBC Checker & Servo Tester bit.ly/3e8mnA6
I love too many to pick, but if I had to pick right now, from last 1 year or so...probably the T-28 Trojan 1.2m.
Of GA, if I had to choose...I really love the Cirrus, but also the Cherokee - really torn
Awesome plane
It sure is!
Try low-heat on a heatgun or hair dryer to remove the "wrinkles" or "smooshed" painted area. On EVA Foam and latex painted crafts and props it knocks the dents right out. Could be worth a try.
Yeah, already can't tell there was even a crash & looks nice sitting on my island right now ;)
Great video and good job with the repairs. However, I think you've still gotta fix that motor. It shouldn't push back that.
Pull off that prop adapter and look closer at the motor hub. Your motor is pushing back because the E-clip has pulled forward out of the slot on the hub. So, the inside and outside motor stators are sliding apart when you push back and then pulling back together to the proper forward position when you release. This just happened to me last week in a similar ground impact situation.
Putting the E-clip back in place will also fix that pitch change you started to hear after the first repairs.
AWESOME! I will totally check that out! Thanks
Nicely done Brian. Hilarious how you were yelling at your smart battery for having a charge then you drop out of the sky with no battery. Also, better get a lawyer for all those kids you ejected. Angelina is going to be pissed! 😆😆
LOL - Exactly!!! She's coming after me... See, Angelina can take a joke...but tell one real ringer about Tom Cruise and you'll end up like Amber Hurd - LOL ;)
had the same issue when i replaced my servo in my cherokee. There's a software that unlocks the BNF receiver and the menu to relearn the servo is then availble in the forward programming menu
yes, gotta "Factory Reset" then you can make it a PNF for all intents and purposes. I ended up throwing in one of these and it went the SAME direction as stock servo that I broke Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw
I enjoyed your unbox and build as I always do, had my say like I always do, and I got me another SR22. I must say, as massive an E-Flite fan as I am (and have been since the XPS P-47 and P-38 with geared brushed motors and Nimh packs 20 years ago) I was disappointed by the finish on this beauty. E-Flite really design their products well so that minimal fine detail is required but on this new Cirrus because they added so much fine detail there is a lot of fluff and mold material, rough edges and unrefined detail, a little is not unusual but there's a lot on this so a good amount of trimming with a blade and paint touch up is required. Other than that it is as solid, stable and hardy as any E-Flite winner...as soon as you put a better looking pilot in .
You aren't wrong, but I didn't "notice" it myself. I do think some of the, what SHOULD be very tight joints, could be refined a bit...wing to fuse connection point....but I LOVE the plane.
Was disappointed that they use a single PLASTIC GEAR SERVO on the Rudder + Steerable Nose gear servo....
When I replaced mine, I used a Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw , but wish I could have put a 1.5 times bigger servo in there.
Definitely happens to the best of us lol. This thing is definitely a good aircraft. Great flying! It's always very entertaining haha.
I will say this tho. Unfortunately it's really not hard to fry or strip one of the spektrum servos that comes in BNF/PNP. Not talking trash neither... But it is true. Thanks for the video's, Brian!!
Yeah, when they're plastic, and on STEERING servo, I kinda cringe myself...
I ended up putting THIS one in, and same direction of rotation and perfect fit - Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw
Did have to modify the emax horns to work.
Want! Want! Want! I'd even buy that one after seeing it cartwheel off your aircraft carrier 👍
PS- Buy your camera crew something special. Wow. Patience of a Saint, that woman.
Great to see your attitude when a crash happens. Oops. Well lets fix this. Rinse and repeat lol. Question as i didn't see it covered in the video ( i quite well have missed it) how does one set up thrust reverse/pilot fatigue?
The manual say for thrust reverse see the thrust reversing section in the manual. I can't find it and while not strictly necessary as our field is putting green shirt grass I still want to have it because...it exists?
Found the unboxing video. Reverse thrust is go!
NICE! Glad you got it found easy enough - you beat me to the chase on this one ;) Thansk Guy!
Hi Brian thanks again for another awesome vid. I have my eyes on this Cirrus. My question to you: You mentioned this isn't the right plane for a new pilot. Can you help me understand what's at risk here? Any cirrus tendencies that you just don't see on a stable plane like the Apprentice S2 for example? Also, do you have a list of planes that you absolutely recommend for beginners? Thanks!!
Compared to the Apprentice or Apprentice "Mini" this plane is downright HARD to fly - but only compared to one of the easiest planes to fly that's ever been released ;) The Cirrus is just not going to be very forgiving....and that's not an exaggeration. It behooves us to talk as many people into buying this as humanly possible, so don't get me wrong, we WANT you to buy it, but we feel our mission (or at least PART of it) is to help newer pilots avoid the heartache of making a bad choice early on. That's NOT to say you couldn't do it as a beginner, but you'll be in SAFE.
If you're motivated, you can do whatever you want - but just give it some thought. We want you to win, WILE we win ;)
I bought the first version of this bird from some one on Facebook marketplace for $60 dollars. The guy said the only thing wrong with it was to his knowledge, a bad aileron servo. Upon further investigation, I found the ailerons we're fine, the problem was the same servo you're fighting with!
Taking the defective one out was easy, but putting it back in, it definitely played with your man feelings to the point of making you curse the idiots who designed the freaking thing!
yep, I ended up using one of these... worked GREAT! - Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw
Also, the Emax ran the right direction too - LOL! Now it's Metal Gear too!
@@BrianPhillipsRC So I bought the Cirrus and it IS beautiful (especially at dusk flying across the grass farm field against the setting sun!). I stripped the same rudder/nose servo -- TWICE! But thanks to you, I replaced it, including shaving off the plastic a bit. Felt so accomplished since it was my first repair! I scrolled to see your suggestion on metal gear servo, but I have a few questions. 1) Do I need to replace ALL the servos with metal gear or just this rudder/nose that's giving me trouble? Will it affect balance or CG or flying if I replace only one? 2) The original is 9g and the Emax is 12g -- does that matter? Assuming not since you recommended it. 3) How do I know if these Emax's are "reversed"? My first repair was an exact same model from the hobby shop and reversed. I can't see if these Emax's are reversed, but I see you said they ran the right direction. I just want to get everything in order and make sure I get the right size, etc. I appreciate the help!!
I am amazed this does not happen more often with how u stretch the flight times
Me too - LOL ;) I kinda have killed my 4S 2200mAh 30C pack. I guess I just want to share how amazing the SMART tech has been for me!
You're so right, if you fly RC planes and are having a good time, you will crash a time or two. Most crashes are fixable.
yep!
Hey Brian, what's the best glue to use for repairs that won't dissolve the foam? Cheers
Depends on what you're doing...
CA, when foam safe (Sometimes called LOW ODER) is great for quick bonds
Kicker (Accelerator) makes CA set like NOW! Amazing and must have for RC repairs!
Foam to Foam or Mucliage is more for holding wings into pockets...more rubbery, like rubber cement
Kicker amzn.to/2CQf24D
CA Med amzn.to/2D0x18i
CA FS Med amzn.to/2E2l29z / Thin amzn.to/2COE6sw

Love your videos! About a month into the hobby and I have the Turbo Timber Evo. Starting my wish-list for my 2nd plane and can't decide between Maule and Cirrus! Not really into too much 3D stuff right now. I do like general aviation and do like aircraft lights. Enjoy relaxing flights with a bit of sport. My airfield has short grass. Eventually I'd love to get both, but which is more fun for a second plane? Maule or Cirrus? Is the Maule very similar to the Turbo Timber Evo? Or is there enough difference to enjoy? Same with Cirrus. Thank you to anyone who can help!
Maule is super similar to your Timber. Might want to consider the Cirrus, so they're not the same plane dressed a bit different ;)
Maule will do better in grass, fyi. The Pants on the Cirrus will get dirty on you.
Also, I deleted a duplicate comment of yours...sure you didn't do it...this just happens once in a while. Didn't want you to think I was upset with you or something strange.
@@BrianPhillipsRC No worries! I appreciate your reply! By the way, do you have any thoughts or insight about FAA and the RID rulings? Maybe a video idea? I'm new to the hobby, like I said, so it'd be cool to get a veteran perspective!
BTW, C160, I believe, can & does actually back taxi.
I Like this pro style flying & video better.. Maybe, bringing airplane back as often via r8 turns as left turns would be even better.
Thanks ;)
Brian , I just had to replace rudder servo in a cherokee,ordered the same servo in the plane , but received a different size servo with the same part number. Horizon told me they have changed the servo and need to modify the servo tray. SO why not change the servo plate to receive the other size. I had to grind down the top of the hold down screws of the original servo because the clearance on the new servo would not except it but also the new screws that came with the new servo had smaller thread size so they were unusable. So at some point the new size servo will show up in the new plane. I tried to put a metal gear servo in place of the original servo but horizon does not have a double sided servo arm like the one that comes in the plane to fit the metal geared servo ? So why does horizon not put a metal geared servo in for the rudder and steering because it gets so much back play from the nose gear from flying of f of a grass field. I guarentee that the replacement place geared servo will fail again. I think the nose gear wheel pant causes more stress on the rudder servo from the grass , more surface area than just a wheel.
I ended up using one of these... Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw ...and YEAH, I had to modify the double ended servo horn to make it work, but it fit perfectly!!!!!! and Metal gear servo too!
Cool, nice flying.
Can a camera be mounted?
If you wanted too, you could, and even do head-tracking inside the pilot seat! That's be super fun!
You guys should shoot a dusk flight on that plane too showcase its amazing lighting display
How is that noise gear? I was told it's weak. Please let me know what you think.
Got the EMAX servo from your link, but not sure how to modify. I know the linkage stopper (I think that's the name) from the original plastic servo will not fit the emax servo arm. I've been searching if there's another size or if I should just drill a bigger hole into the emax servo arm? Or maybe someone can guide me on how to modify the servo arm so that I can connect the emax metal gear. Thanks!
E-flite Piper Cherokee vs. E-flite Cirrus, which one and why? Which one lands better on grass? Cheers!
Both, neither - LOL!!!
Cirrus, even though I have a soft spot for the Cherokee, this one is better - more features, and probably more robust landing gear (nose in particular) even thought I crashed and broke mine in my maiden flight video - LOL!
How would this plane compare to the Commander? I’m going to get one of them but would like the opinion of someone who has flown them both. Great video btw!
Commander T-28 Cirus basically the exact same formula with the exception of the Commander being a tail dragger. Which is harder on the tail wheel when reverse thrust...
The Commander is rock solid, but more like a pylon racer look. It's MORE capable than the Cirrus, or at least it feels more SOLID... but I FAR prefer the scale looks of the Cirrus....but I'm a sucker for scale
Once again, sorry to have seen you crash, twice. But it again has made for an interesting video. The plane is beautiful and awesome. But your repairs and techniques are priceless. You are an aviation surgeon. While you are dealing with Smart batteries and Smart technology, seems like a great time to slip in a little Smart A$$. I have an Arrows T-28 I recently crashed. I’m going to have to replace the complete nose gear retract compartment and doors. Just wondering if you would be willing to nose that plane into the ground at about a 25-30 degree angle with a slight left bank?😂 It would be a big help getting to see a repair video before I start working on it. Sorry man, I just couldn’t stop myself. I’m sure you will take this with the true fun in which it was intended. Brian Phillips RC is the only place that will go to the extreme measures to help a pilot. Seriously Brian, you both are such a God send for all of us in this sport. Thank you for all you do. God bless.
Hi Brian. Hey, I'm looking to purchase this plane in the next day or two. I just noticed on the spare parts list on HH website, that the only servo listed is a reverse servo. Are all the servos on this plane of the reverse variety? I usually always replace the cheap plastic servos Eflight puts in these models with metal geared servos. Don't want to order the wrong stuff. Thank you! Dale.
I believe Sirrus actually markets the SR-22 as “A Piper Cherokee on Crack,” so you’re certainly not out of line here Brian! 🙂🙃😎
LOL - Exactly!!!
Hi, what camera are you using to record your rc videos? Thanks!
We've always recorded on our cell phones. We started out on a Galaxy S3 and our currently using a Galaxy S21 Ultra. I'm guessing this was filmed on that or an S9.
NIIIICE 🔥👍✌️
Thank you! 100%
Have had a Concendo and apprentice planes. I am a private pilot. Looking for a scale 3rd plane. Like Cherokee, Cirrus, and ? Your thoughts?
Looks like you may have snagged the front wheel in the grass causing it to go past center?
yes, I think this is what happened. Oh well, after a new servo, she's back to greasing in most landings again!
I got this same plane, which had it's ailerons reversed, so when I correct the ailerons on my transmitter, AS3X also corrects the rudder the wrong way (Only with my ailerons corrected), but my stick input moves my rudder the correct way, do you have a video explaining how to correct that?
If this happens, you can fix it, but you might just reach out to Horizon Hobby and let them know what's going on, and see if they'll make it right to you.
Now it's easier than ever, but you might have to update the FIRMWARE to reset the FORWARD PROGRAMMING, then just pretend it's a PNP plane. Watch one of our more recent PNP planes (We do them all the time) and follow along. We'll show how to do it. Doesn't need the be this EXACT plane, but when it comes to the FLAP settings, we should cover that in the Unbox, Build, and Radio Setup for this plane (in the playlist).
We too had this happen on a UMX Cirrus, which must have been a fluke, but it was a very VERY annoying fluke. They made it right to my buddy, but MADE him destroy the plane - WHY?!??!? (So I kept the dead plane parts, to this date - LOL)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for getting back to me, I'll give that a go, get the programming cable and see if I can make it work (I'll need to figure this out anyways sooner or later)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for getting back to me, I'll give that a go, get the programming cable and see if I can make it work (I'll need to figure this out anyways sooner or later)
Brian so... Commander Mpd or Cirrus, which one do you like better? :)
Both ;)
I prefer the Cirrus SR22T for a variety of reasons...mostly my personal preference, but the Commander Mpd is a better plane - go figure - LOL ;)
I have a spektrum dx6e can I put safe select on this transmitter for this plane ?
Good quesiton - SAFE select is activated or AS3X is activated - you must choose one. Choosing to turn SAFE on and off is optional. This is where you will need to be weary of using a lower level transmitter.
I believe you can BIND the plane to your Tx and fly it, but you will have to try and see if you can then make the switch assignment to turn SAFE on and off.
When you're binding, there's a way to do with with the BIND PLUG - read that spot in the manual for more information. You can find the manual from following our plane link, then scroll down - it's right there. Good luck Alex! I think you can get it done.
Hi Brian. Would you please review the hobboking yak 11 racing ! Thx
We don't really work with Hobbyking anymore...they' reached out but we just didn't like their terms, and not interested in fighting through the headaches of "Dynam" style planes anymore.
That being said, never say never ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks 🙏
@@BrianPhillipsRC The issue that in Australia it is difficult to reach other than HK or Banggood. It is difficult to have items with magnet or batteries to get shipped.
Did you say in the beginning of the video, that you sell some of the planes you test?
We have sold off some of our fleet, but usually old ones we bought in years past.
Howard Cosell narrations, lol
Wow - that's an honor ;)
Nice plane. Is it the same size as the version 1?
yes
The Sailors best you on this one. Glad to see you got it done. Where did the Angelina Jolie comment come from ?? That made me laugh.
They beat us caz they had to upload a 15 minute video, while we're uploading about 15 HOURS of videos in the same time frame AND I doubt they're using Satellite Internet - much slower :(
@@BrianPhillipsRC Excellent point. I like your choice to separate the flights and the builds, I like to mainly watch your builds but the maidens are also nice to watch.
Can you tell me the difference between the v1 and v2?
How does it handle grass takeoffs and landings?
If you have some smooth, and SHORT grass, it'll do fine
Hi Brian, how does compare to the Piper Cherokee
It is faster, and slightly more capable, but I love them both.
Aren't landing strips always narrow?
Why do they use plastic gear servos? The cost adder for metal geared is not much. Surprised you flew it without re binding it so AS3X on the rudder works right but you did manage to avoid crashing it. I would not be so lucky.
I 100% agree. Plastic gear is a miss on Horizon's part...and only 9G for the nose gear and rudder...I would have loved to see at least MGS OR even a bigger plastic gear, or TWO 9g plastic gear for the nose and rudder separated from one another mechanically. This was a bit of a bummer, BUT I LOVE flying this plane, and it is still a MUST BUY on my short list of amazing planes!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I just bought the Commander and I love it. The Cirrus at 1.5M may be too big for my trunk. I am finishing up a KAOS 40 converting it to electric. I am using a separate 9 gram metal geared servo for the nose wheel and will be using std servos I got from an old plane for the rest as they fit right in the slots. The electric conversion was not easy. Using extensions made me modify the nose gear mount. If I do this again, would build a new firewall and reinforce the front end of the plane. I also had to cut a hatch
I can't believe they put a plastic gear servo with double action for nose wheel and rudder.with it being a 330r means reversed with a r on the end.
I just ended up swapping it out for a Emax Servos amzn.to/2KNstdw , then made the provided double end control arm work for my application...now it's Metal Geared...but to be honest, could be bigger still.
Thanks for the link man,my cirrus comes this morning.i will be tinkering with it today.appreciate the review and feedback! Take care,Joshua from Tennessee
Can you use a 3200 3s pack for decent performance?
yeah, should be fine, but just more "scale" performance, rather than "hyper" performance like 4S provides
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks
Nice looking plane, good job on the crash repairs. We DO need to talk about your Angelina fixation tho...just sayin' 😜
She's a real deal pilot, and she has THIS plane...hard to avoid talking about her ;)
What was the flight time on the 4s 2200?
I'm sorry, but have no recollection of the times, but if you check your time stamp on the video, you can see how long I flew her for.
Son of a biscuit lover ! Lol 😂
yes ;)
So we land for a nose light that is out but not for a dead battery? Haha When you get your pilots license I trust you will be a little more conscious about your fuel level. I hope Megan gave you hell for blowing the dirt on the counter on to the floor when you tested the motor after the crash. (The first one)
LOL - Exactly - Who needs a stinking battery anyway - LOL ;)
The dirt was cleaned...no husbands were injured or killed in the filming of this video - LOL
Can you fly the hobby king C-130??
I want to do it, but we aren't working with Hobbyking at the moment. Sorry!!!
I have this plane on order, it'll get here next week...... I've never flown before, lol.... but I am a member of a flying club, and I do have someone willing to help me out and buddy box with me.
If you fly this as a beginner, you will probably end up crying all the way back to the hobby shop. I want you to LOVE this plane and enjoy a GREAT flight experience, but it has long...LOOOOOONG narrow wings and they will slip out from under you if you go to slow. SAFE will help, since it'll limit your bank and pitch angles, but you need to keep your speed up.
I highly suggest something from this short list or similar. Cirrus is a good plane for a second or even third plane, but it's just so dang beautiful...you will be kicking yourself if you crash on maiden, caz I guarantee you won't get as lucky as I did when I ran her out of battery!!!

P.S. Not trying to discourage you...I know it sounds that way, but I promise I want you hooked for life, and I KNOW that you might screw it all up if you crash on your maiden flight. You don't probably think it now, but you will thank me later, and your trainer will probably second my suggestions. Even with a trainer, things happen fast in the air. So many great choices, and if this plane is built, setup, and ready to fly...it will stare at you ever time you come home and you'll feel the pull, like that of Darth Vator, ever time you walk by her....but you can use your jeti skills to avoid flying until you're ready, and you'll be way better off. 2nd or 3rd plane is no problemo, but first...that's a stretch. Please listen ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC So I maidened it today with my friend ready to take control if needed...... The only time I've flown a plane prior was an apprentice on buddy box, and I didn't take it off or land it... so I don't have much to compare it with, but the Cirrus flies soooo much better than the trainer in my opinion, I got 2 flights in today, first flight my friend did the takeoff and landing, next flight I did the takeoff and he did the landing. I didn't manage to get myself into any hairy situations, I did get a little nervous at one point in my first flight because I ended up climbing a little higher than I was comfortable with, but under my friends direction, I just cut the throttle and let it glide back down to a more comfortable altitude and no problem.... other than that it was all smooth sailing.
how do you shut that warning off
If you have reached "Critical Voltage" I think you just have to unplug the lipo, but if it's not that bad, there is a setting in the Telemetry Warnings Section.
@@BrianPhillipsRC but how do you stop the alarm when its going off during flight
Bautiful airplane
have you posted twice accidently?
No, it's Unbox Build and Radio Setup and then Maiden flights. Separated videos. Sorry for the confusion!
Angelina Jolie with her recent adoptees in the back....! 🤣
I can't stop her!!! That LEFT had stick is irresistible ;) It's not HER fault that the only jet A she could find was in Zimbabwe! LOL
Commander or Cirrus, better flyer?
Commander is a better flying plane. Wider flight envelope, but Cirrus is more my STYLE - sucker for GA planes ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks!!!
Man I'm in love all over again she's a real beauty BP. That one's I n my sights
Amen. So good. So cool, as ramy rc would say ;)
I bought this brad new . Spent an hour on assemble , another hour on NX8 / RX set up. When testing control surfaces the elevator starts grinding. The POS never left the assemble table and the elevator servo failed miserably . Requesting a refund from Horizon Hobby ; (
