Happy Landings! Fly outside the box. 📦✈ - บันเทิง
Put it on floats!
I’m going to add my vote to the rocket assisted takeoffs. Who wouldn’t want to see that actually!
I have almost every edf they sell except the airliners.
And 4 of them, 70mm edf units didn't produce enough thrust. I then started testing. If you have the time and money (not to much) buy a few extra edf units and bench test the trust vs amp draw. I have come up sith some trial and error combinations that produce good thrust at lower amps than other combinations. Mostly by trying different blades in different housings. It matters. My f16 would not take off and it turned out to be half the rated thrust. New fan in old housing, motor, and esc and it finally produced the correct thrust. And that's just 1 example.
Nice fellas! Have you thought about using two packs? There is enough room there, just run them in parallel. They would take the load much better, give you more flight time, and the plane is big enough handle the extra weight. Might come in a bit hotter, but that could be fun...
The thought has crossed my mind but I enjoy the lack of weight too much. Worth a shot though, I’ll try it next time I take the plane out. Thanks! - Ben
😊
Impressive flying! Thx for sharing!
I installed a Spektrum Telemetry RX in mine so I wasn't a slave to the timer anymore. If you want to take it easy and get the most out of your time in the air this is the way to go. I run my 6s 5000 down to about 22.5 volts and then land. It always comes back up close to 23 volts after taxi back so that is about perfect. If I am careful I get 5 maybe 6 minutes but nowhere close to 10. It has great presents in the air and is quite well behaved so far.
Fantastic video once again!!!
Excellent video, thank you👊🏼👊🏼
You guys have the most entertaining commentary and deliver useful RC knowledge at the same time. Love it! And Yes, I would like to see a JATO!
ROCKET POWERED TAKE-OFF!! LIKE THE BLUE ANGELS C-130!(i forgot its name tho)
Rocket assisted takeoffs? Glider tows? YES.
Woa that's so very nice awesome
JATO needs to happen!
bro thats so cool
Thanks Jordan! It’s an awesome plane.

Zachs voice is soothing ngl 😂
I just ordered one of these today and I am so excited for it to arrive! I so much appreciate the review and the flight tips! I ordered the Plain White model so I can apply my own livery. I am a truck driver and I routinely pull US mail from both ups and fedex, so for Livery I am thinking one of those two.
Rocket assisted takeoffs! This I must see..
I love the Johnny depp Amber turd joke.
Probably a good candidate for some Molicel P45B in a 2P or even 3P configuration.
If you crash you can just say that that was the mcas😂😂😂
One is enough 4 me 🇧🇷😍
Great channel! Do you have any videos that include some tips on how beginners can learn to turn on the final leg on landing without messing up? I'm getting lessons on a cub trainer and I find that last turn to be the trickiest part of flying without any kind of gyro assist. On the real flight simulator it's on that turn where I keep unintentionally gaining or losing altitude instead of staying on the glide slope.
Yeah they do! Check out some their tail wheel landing and rudder videos!
Heard That.
Great Video!!! Love all your details and info... do you guys ever sell any of your planes? I've been trying to hunt down my own AL37. I live in AZ. Thanks Guys
Thanks! Nope, only locally at swap meets and such if we ever have stuff to sell, or we give them to younger kids getting into the hobby. Not worth the hassle of shipping.
I seen some cross wiwnd but that thing flies about as squerly as a lawn mower
Can you post the link for the battery and the transmitter you used?
So when are you turning it into a bush plane lol
:)
Wait can you test the al37 to see how long it can actually stay up nefore it dies
How Zach/Ben, quick question, I have been flying a Umx timber, and I am probably getting this plane for Christmas cause I have been hinting at it all year lol, how would it be to improve my skill to this with as3x and safe fully on?? Would it be intermediate or expert? I’m about to be use to no safe and as3x in the Umx timber.. is this plane smooth in wind? I’m really good with the timber for flying it slow and practicing touch and gos the whole battery.. hope you can answer my questions!
-Luke
Hey, Luke! Just to clarify - you’re saying you’re going to be going from only having flown the UMX Timber with SAFE and then go to the AL-37?
@@TailHeavyProductions not really, I haven’t used sage in a while, and where I am wind sucks, the little plane gets thrown around, I have some bigger planes that needs to be fixed for some reason, totally wasn’t me..
@@itsme_luke I'd strongly advise against getting a plane like this at the stage you're at in your flying right now. Work your way up. Maybe get something like a low wing sport plane to start, then go towards something like the 70mm Viper from E-Flite, then up towards something closer to the AL-37.
@@TailHeavyProductions ok, what low wing sport plane do you recommend?
@@itsme_luke It doesn't necessarily have to be a low wing, but if you were looking at a good low wing, check out the E-Flite commander. If not, the turbo timber evolution would work great as a building block to grow your skills as well. Just be sure to avoid using SAFE if you're planning to grow into the AL-37. 👍-Zach
I wonder if the pj50’s flight time is any better
We’re wondering the same... Definitely on our list of aircraft we’d love to check out. - Ben
Hey can you build a firefighter jumbo jet with dropping pink water
How hard is the AL37 to fly? What level of experience would you suggest having? I have about a year of experience flying timber and T28 1.2, I’m currently starting to fly the viper 70mm, but my goal is the AL37 and would like to ensure I’m ready for it
The Viper 70mm is a great intro EDF! Make sure you’re super comfortable with it in all phases of flight before upgrading. I’d suggest getting to the point with it that you’re comfortable purposely getting slow high up, slowly easing your elevator fully up, stalling the wing, holding the elevator fully up into and post stall, letting a wing drop if one does, and then recovering. Do this in turns as well. The AL-37 will bite if you load up the wing and a lot more violently than the Viper. Also - doing flights where all you do is touch and gos and doing them with flaps both down and up is great to boost your confidence as well. Hope this helps! -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions thanks, I appreciate the reply! I also have the f16 70mm, which I’ve not yet flown, but that probably won’t serve the same purpose as it doesn’t have a harsh stall? As for the proper stall recovery process, full power and opposite rudder? Thanks again
The first thing to do to recover from any stall is to UNLOAD the wing. Apply forward pressure to get the wing flying again, full thrust/thrust as needed, rudder if a wing drops. 👍 With most rc planes simply letting go of the sticks gets them flying again but it’s good to practice the above recovery and then adjust as necessary depending on the plane you’re flying and what it prefers. The most common error in stall recovery is inducing up elevator again too abruptly/quickly which leads to a secondary stall.
How would you suggest to transport a plane of that size?
The wings split up into three pieces -- most people leave the center section attached to the fuselage then disconnect the left and right wing tips. It's super easy because there's only two plugs to connect on each wing. The fuselage is long, but should fit in most cars so long as you're comfortable having the plane run the length of your vehicle. - Ben
@@TailHeavyProductions thanks
Volkswagen UP 😂
how do you get custom decals i looked on callie graphics they didnt have the air alaska they showed in the video how do you get a united decal
Just gotta email Callie! She will help you.
@@TailHeavyProductions thanks! love your videos keep doing what your doing
Looks great. Although it looks like it flies like crap. Lol
First
She has swept wings, but she is not a Delta wing plane.
Yep! Mistake on our end we missed while writing the script.
Seems to be a lack of wing tip washout for stability. It also seems to fly too light on the wing loading. Maybe the spar isn't robust enough? It sure gets pushed around easily though. I do enjoy a challenging plane to fly, but not at that price tag. I can't believe our economy these days. We don't make more, but everything costs more. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly DO love commercial jets though.
Actually the wing loading is fairly high at 36oz per Sq ft. Closer to a fighter than a trainer. Mine is quite stable and can cruise along at 10% throttle if desired. It is also quite fast when needed but really chews through the battery doing that. If it wasn't so cool in the air, it wouldn't likely be as much fun/challenge to own.
How to get a design like that pls reply
Check out the video description 👍
Hey, I found it anyway. Can you tell me if it’s a custom work or something else? Thanks again

Don’t clip the grass on those low approaches my dude😬
Shut up and take my money
My wife thinks testflights lawn mower flew better.
