Search for a YT video by Flor M on how to set Volantex ESC brake. It worked for my Ranger 1600, really easy to do using the transmiter. When powering up the triple tone means 3s battery, followed by the double tone means no brake. After setting the brake the final tone should change to a single beep, meaning brake is on. Crazy why Volantex don't set the brake as default.
agreed, Volantex should install ESCs with Braking. because this is a Glider. I have no idea why they do not do it. they could even tell ESC manufacturer from whom they buy ESCs to make all Glider ESCs with Brakes on by Default.
Has anyone had a problem with main wing joiner ? Mine will not go into either main panel. I am sanding it down to fit the wing panels !! It seems to be made of some type of fibre glass because white material like cloth is coming off it !!
Great video, thx for the info on exploding Volantex ESC. I am shopping for glider. Humorous ending with the robo, great job. I enjoyed the video. Be well, many thx!
I respectfully ask that you could demonstrate the gliding capabilities of the Volantex 2400 motor glider during your video, this is , after all, a glider with a folding propellor !
Wow that one does fly really nice. I wonder how many landings the underside of the wings can endure ? Perhaps a small wheel under each would aid in a balanced landing to avoid ground scraping. Loved how this one flew Ali, big thumbs up for your video, and your two little plane retrievers :) 👍👍👍
You know what would be cool? Go pretty high, then cut the throttle and dive down and pick up lots of speed and do a low pass with the motor off. Then see how long you can keep gliding before you need to turn the motor on again. THAT would be awesome. :)
The Phoenix 2400 is a lovely flyer,for those who do flat field soaring it cannot be beaten for precise performance,if only they would upgrade the ESC's a common problem at the moment with ARTF's also the undercarriage issue why put a wheel on just for landing it does not make sense,I agree Ali the take off is all part of the fun. As for line of sight flying it is still the best in my opinion having flown that way for years FPV is of no interest to me but each to their own,nicely flown Ali that landing was super. Ali your channel deserves more views after all you pioneered model flight testing here on TH-cam.
Kids Alhamdolillah Recovered the tough time. still have cough but at least they are in good mood and playing around. We have been to Daman-Koh and Ayub park (which is close by, so almost daily there LOL) Thanks brother :)
Very nice flight and nice flying. Great help you have there too!! I remember when they were just babies. You forgot to use your spoilers to land ha ha !! Happy Flying
Yes and no. You can detach it, it's secured by screws. But it's a lot of work. Okay for long term storage, but not feasible for getting the plane to and from the field.
@@alishanmao Ty for Intel! I had it out for a plastic body plane as I'm so green . And broken foam is breaking my heart to often $$ ( I did settle and buy the 2000 mm version )
hey, the next review I watch before making a review myself :) You've given away your size here indirectly (by standing next to 2.4m wingspan). I guestimate you're 1.55m right? The glider looks nice. Is it holding up after a few flights, or cheap quality that easily breaks? What about the ESC - is it some random fireworks appliance rather than ESC? greets, Mario PS: what did I miss? Why did you leave Dubai sun for Shenzen smog again?
well I am 5 feet 3 inches :) not very tall really. after few flights this one still alive and kicking. ESC seems to be better than before. no more fireworks as Lanyu / volantex traditions LOL hahahah. We left Dubai because it was milking us dry like a greedy farmer and sucking our blood too. That means, too costly, too many pointless expenses, pay pay pay pay pay bills bills bills expenses expenses. I mean it felt like you even have to pay to breath in Dubai. we could not afford it so we came back to our home sweet home in China. we are not in Shenzhen. we are in Zhuzhou Hunan which is central part of China. much cleaner in terms of those smog and pollution compared to those big cities.
@@alishanmao Hey buddy, sorry about thos 5 cm :) are you rather speaking in imperial units in China? I thought metric... Thanks for the info on the glider, I'll check it out. recently started FPVing planes again. super fun to soar around longer than just 5mins with a regular drone. also installed the runcam split on the rudder which is an awesome view from back there! and a little video splitter to switch to a 2nd runcam eagle on the wing. OK, so Dubai sounds really expensive. Seems this kind of place is only for the guys with Petro dollars... If you're surrounded by so much money, everything get's more expensive... Oh, I thought you said Shenzen in some vid. Your city looks quite big to me :) Whats weird is: that all those skyscrapers seem to be at the same height. All seems so regulated. in western cities every large building is built by another architect I guess, tries to be different... OK, greets, Mario
Hey Brother, yes FPV on gliders is super fun. as we are getting older, we like to just sit relax and soar to enjoy FPV. I however still am flying 2S and 3S FPV Whoops and still love flying fast and furious. if you ever have chance to come to China, come over to our city. stay with us and we can do some cool videos together.
why you dont miss flying FPV planes? I started watching your channel exactly bcs. of that... you havent dont that for many many years.... drones (except racing) and line of sight is so boring...
I did some flights this year. you can see my new flight, 6km FPV 12km out back to see Two high speed trains. Then came busy time and winter, raining raining raining. now summer is coming, I have my mini Talon LR FPV Plane waiting and the new ZOHD Dart XL that I just prepared (You will watch maiden FPV Flight testing video soon) I will bring both out to do some good FPV Plane FPV Videos :) so stay tuned for that bud :) th-cam.com/video/oKsy2egBpqM/w-d-xo.html
+alishanmao nice to hear :) for me long range and long in time movies of yours were the best. I remmember how U were showing filming capabilities to TV crew :)
$ channel with flap's?? what? Maybe 5 channel including throttle? Not a 4 channel bird? Fuse is pvc. Good. Like the 737 Ranger replace the receiver and the ESC first thing. Thank's.
I stopped watching when I realized it wasn't a glider at all, but a power plane instead. I really wish power pilots wouldn't hijack a name that only legitimately belongs to another flying category.
AliShanMao It is good to see your still making videos.
I love your sense of humor!
cheers bud

assalamualaikum mr ali can i ask you what is your best rate and expo for this phoenix 2400???
ciao bel volo , tu hai comprato solo il KIT, o la forma PNP? grazie ciao
hey bro you need to setup esc braking because the prop was still spinning on landing. great flight! thanks
Yes, you are right
I couldnt get esc break to work so I used a rubber band to snap the propeller back when I throttle down.
there is a way to setup ESC brakes. I will find out and let you know
hello nice flight, did you just buy the KIT, or the PNP form? thanks bye
PNP only
hello, could someone please give me the rope (wing width in 2400mm? Is it the same width as the Phoenix 2000? In advance, thank you very much.
Has anyone had a problem with main wing joiner ? Mine will not go into either main panel. I am sanding it down to fit the wing panels !! It seems to be made of some type of fibre glass because white material like cloth is coming off it !!
Great video, thx for the info on exploding Volantex ESC. I am shopping for glider. Humorous ending with the robo, great job. I enjoyed the video. Be well, many thx!
Have fun!
Esc breaking is set by... remove prop put tx throttle to max and connect plane battery wait for 3 beeps .
Remove battery from plane and your done.
not the same with every ESC. every brand ESC is different and may have different ESC braking programming.
@@alishanmao so what is it then for the stock ESC?
Hello! The boy's could fly away on that one. Is the fuselage plastic or epo foam?? Please and thankyou very much.
its PVC i believe. tough enough
I enjoy and learn from your videos thank you. I'm going to get asw28 will the zohd kopilot work with that size of plane?
Whats the perfect battery capacity balancing weight and max capacity?
great video as always impressive glider ,may have to add this one to my collection .thanks
Love this big beauty, but as you say Ali it's a shame it won't taxi-take-off. Did you find out how to put the brake in the ESC?
No. Still didn't. And I don't want to experiment. Lol. Because it may catch fire during flight
Nice plane, nice flight and very nice landing 👏👏your kids are so big, congrats👍
time flies buddy
I respectfully ask that you could demonstrate the gliding capabilities of the Volantex 2400 motor glider during your video, this is , after all, a glider with a folding propellor !
Ali you should 3d print a small cradle with wheels so you can take off from the ground
thats the idea
Nice..very nice
Hey i see an little angel. Best hopes for this new year !
Nice flying
Wow that one does fly really nice. I wonder how many landings the underside of the wings can endure ? Perhaps a small wheel under each would aid in a balanced landing to avoid ground scraping. Loved how this one flew Ali, big thumbs up for your video, and your two little plane retrievers :) 👍👍👍
I will 3D print some supports for the wings with Wheels. Maybe give it enough ground clearance to taxi even with props spinning hahaha
Make a tray or crate with four wheels and you can start the Phoenix rolling from the ground. You have a nice flat runway, perfectly suited for that.
@@alishanmao can i have the file? Haha
Lanyu have always made great flying planes.
Phoenix ESC have been not the best for a long time , going back to when they were lanyu. :-)
agreed. Wish They could go back to Lanyu
love the sounds you have put on your taranis... a fpv glider would be great fun, the price looks right!
I can create any type of message for Taranis. If you need anything let me know.
Just ordered 2m version of that and hope will be good flier to.
You know what would be cool? Go pretty high, then cut the throttle and dive down and pick up lots of speed and do a low pass with the motor off. Then see how long you can keep gliding before you need to turn the motor on again. THAT would be awesome. :)
I can surely try that
Would be sweet!! :)
Very good demonstration. thank you.

Can it handle a GoPro (180gms)
yes
nice
Thanks
It looks a lot like the FMS Sailplane. How are the kids now?
Kids Alhamdolillah Recovered the tough time. still have cough but at least they are in good mood and playing around. We have been to Daman-Koh and Ayub park (which is close by, so almost daily there LOL) Thanks brother :)
@@alishanmao haha daily!
Hi bro, whey did you moved back to China?
Long time :) LOL
@@alishanmao salamualleykum, i meant, whey y
Did you moved to Dubai, and then back to china? 😄
@@nabilbabrakthe2th519 Envy him, he can order all the RC planes he wants and get it delivered next day! Nice Video 👍👍
how far back is the centre of gravity from the leading edge?
hold one finger each side of the wing .move forward or back slightly till the plane is balancing level
Hi Ali, did you set any dual rates on your radio?
No Dual Rates just pure Manual control
Good landing
Great video
Really cool 😎
Very nice flight and nice flying. Great help you have there too!! I remember when they were just babies. You forgot to use your spoilers to land ha ha !! Happy Flying
Smooth flying, so quiet.
Cute kids :-)
the Phoenix name is just perfect for this one
What is the range on this ?
depends upon your receiver and radio.
the elevator its detachable?
Yes and no. You can detach it, it's secured by screws. But it's a lot of work. Okay for long term storage, but not feasible for getting the plane to and from the field.
Love to see your boys work together.
what receiver were you using?
ACCST 2.4Ghz FrSky DR8
Gran familia Shanmao!
Beautiful!
Vare nice
always at the ending, i love it hahaha lol
Beautiful vid . Im trying to find this plane . No stock anyplace .
Get this one instead

those wings are nice and straight, unlike my easyglider that is curved a bit like its in a tight turn.
Ghetto brick balancing weight, love it lol.
I have done similar at the field when I've discovered I'm tail heavy ha ha.
Hmm, one broken prop due to no motor braking! But yes, Andrew Newton has reviewed this one and he really liked it.
Nice plane nice Ali :-).
There is NO WAY I would be outside let alone flying in that freezing weather.... that's for die hards !!
we are die hard kind :)

at a good gliding slope and with good winds this will soar like glider. power is just needed to take off or when moving from thermal to thermal.
But it glides...
grr saw this on banggood sale, i shouldn't spend so much money on toys so i'm trying my best not to buy it :P
i wonder when i will give in :P
get it. :D now
Took me a year :D
