When you turn on final to land, try to keep you nose level or even a little up, so you hit more of a high alpha landing to slow the jet down... WHEN you do this, get out of the habit of cutting your throttle and massage it into a landing, your landing will be much slower.. ( if your uncomfortable landing like this, just practice high alpha higher altitudes) Good job my man!
@@jsean13 Thanks a lot The pilot has calmed down the landings quite a bit since this original set of flights he can't really high alpha it well as it pretty much stalls whenever he tries to do so I think we need to figure out how to get that battery further back which is not possible at the moment without moving things so he's just enjoying it for what it is at the moment
Yes my friend the camel works too good it wasn't the super brightest day either and we were just trying to force it in a flight after several days where we couldn't get one but boy was that a complete loss of orientation and a last 2nd safe hard to tell by the video that I did get how close it was but you take a look and tell me it looks like a foot from the ground LOL
@@williewideback personally I want everything to have safe it's kind of expensive so lesser birds I can tend to leave it off or just use a basic receiver but I'd rather have it on everything Rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
Great save...😱 You were very lucky your plane didn't crash. I think that at the beginning, your plane appeared to be nose-heavy. Men, that plane has air brakes. You should start using them to slow your approaches down. You are coming in too fast on landings. That’s not right. If you keep doing that, your beautiful jet won’t last long. Practice your approaches until you can master them before attempting acrobatics. I’m still in the process of putting my 6S version together, and I’m planning on copying my Eflite F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm setup including flaperons and reverse thrust on this one... Talking about reverse thrust, I know that it is sometimes confusing having to go full throttle after you land. Some people destroy their planes after pulling a beautiful landing because they think that they had enabled reverse thrust, but the reverse thrust switch wasn’t engaged, causing the plane to go full blast forward, causing a crash while on the ground. For that reason, I created this video to show other pilots how to program full reverse thrust on a designated switch without having to move the throttle stick at all... Here's the link for that video...I hope that you can find some value in it... th-cam.com/video/rlj01QHfwLo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JOOk1wmOKIIgspab Thumbs-up for your video 👍🏾 Have a great rest of your day 😁 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 😁👍🏾👍🏾🌵🌵🇵🇷 Like#13
Thanks for watching and the coments the plane is not mine. I do want to set up the flaperons on it as well as a simple mix from throttle to a 3 position switch. I will definitely take a look at your video as soon as I get off work and have some quiet time to pay attention
@@feelgooddany We actually have the battery as far aft as it can go but we are considering modifying the canopy and pushing that control board out of the way to get even more aft on the batteries
This is why I don;'t like camo schemes. To me, the perfect colors are white and yellow. The T-28 and the T-45 in their Navy black and white schemes look perfect and quite noticeable in a blue sky. Same for the 980 mm yellow P-39 and the 1.1 m yellow T-28. At the field I see many EDF pilots try to land by dropping all of a sudden from a high altitude and then coming rather hot for a landing. Result? The kangaroo bounce of death. Try to copy the full scale counterparts. Notice how jets do a rather long, straight and shallow approach to land. You never see an airliner do sudden turns and try to land from a short approach. It's always a shallow descent.
Thanks so much for taking your time to comment thanks for watching the video yes coming in hot is something I see a lot of things about but if you watch my maiden video and check out my flight let me know what you think of that I didn't come in hot at all I was able to come in very soft great landings like I said please check out that video this time I was completely thrown off with the safe thing and messed up my entire descent and everything over 10 times
I can’t tell for sure since I don’t have the 90mm F-16 but those horizontal stabs were terribly trimmed at the start of the video, they must have pitched the plane down by a bunch of
Can you please share with us brand of detergent you used "post flight" to clean the boxers/briefs and did you immediately drive to Starbucks for copious amounts of caffeine after ???
Was that crazy or what he was so far away that I could barely get the shot but I was able to keep on him especially because I was looking off camera at the plane at the time it's crazy that I actually caught it but yes he was definitely jittered he flies so much though that it didn't jitter him as much as it would have me
I’ve never seen a motion rc EDF needing that much trim. ! Whoever screwed it together do you do mechanical adjustments on trim first ? Or just take your chances and rely on the radio. ?
@@victormontalbano4993 That plane comes with the wings and control horns completely set up for the ailerons and that's where his most trim was needed It was completely flat before takeoff we inspected it quite in-depth because this bird set for four trips to the field before we actually flew it there was nothing on the ground we could have done to trim this prior to the maiden,
We Decided to go with two 4S packs for the ease of charging and the universal usage in other planes they are placed as far back as physically possible close to the circuit board for distribution inside this birds factory configuration we have considered removing this board from its mounting and pushing that back to get even further however there is a slight ramp that the battery would have to sit on which would also cause the battery to run into the canopy which would mean we'd have to remove some material from the canopy also we'll figure out that way
@@braddarnell2498 Yes the pilot doesn't madman he tends to go crazy with planes thus explaining the crash after only a few flights he had to go one inch off the ground upside down down the runway lol
@@elijahjackson1134 I film a lot of these videos and trust me flying so far away is something that I despise however when this person flew too far away it was inadvertently he had lost orientation and that thing was moving quite quickly I'd say I understand totally about standing directly behind the bird especially when doing a maiden because if the front wheel is a bit off you want to be behind it so that you can make corrections and that is the easiest place to see what's going on if you go for my flying stand area it will be quite hard to figure out but still doable I agree with you

That might be the greatest save I have ever seen!
Great save bud. Nice touch n go 👍🏻
@@SmokeyMountainRcTravisThompson Yes we were sweating out there omg
Ohhhhh snap !!!!! Apparently the camo works ??? Yikes😮

@Pooley929 Bare inches I reckon !!!
@tim7402 agreed thanks
Awesome save!! All i can say is safe select can come in handy when flying this particular model lol

Excellent! I picked one up last week, ended up adding an Assan Gyro, as I still dont trust the AS3X plus gyro Love the plane and AS3X overall.
@@notoo7 Hey thanks for watching and the comments I really love the AS3X+ I really feel like it's the best Ive used,
What's your cg on the last flight? What a save btw woww

Never understood why to stand behind the plane while taking off and, why fly so far away from oneself.
