Macfree Brushless MCF2201 Micro F-22 Warbird RC Airplane Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- This very advanced airplane has four different flight modes that provide fun flying for all skill levels. Find it here goo.gl/f8x6rx
or here on Amazon amzn.to/2eXDO8o
Pro's
- Has four different flight modes, including
* Smart Mode: it flies itself in circles. Flight parameters that can be modified in Smart mode include altitude, width of circle, and direction of circle (right or left).
* Self Leveling Mode: The aircraft is controlled by the sticks, but gyros and accelerometers will automatically level the aircraft if the sticks are centered. Excellent training mode for beginners, making it difficult to crash.
* Stabilized Mode: The aircraft uses gyros to dampen uncommanded movements such as from wind gusts. But there is no self-leveling ability. Quite a bit more difficult than self-leveling mode.
* Normal Mode: Full manual control. No gyro or accelerometer inputs. This model is relatively twitchy in this mode, so for experts only.
- Auto takeoff and landing ability
- Flies reasonably well in the wind when in self-leveling mode.
- Comes with nice protective carrying case. Also easy to setup in the field.
- Comes with a spare battery.
- Available in three colors (white, gray, or desert), and two versions (brushless or brushed motor). Strongly recommend that you consider the brushless version if you plan to do back to back flying with spare batteries. If flying brushed version, allow at least ten minute cooldown period between flights.
- Also includes a barometer for altitude hold when in self-leveling. I did not realize that before I flew it, and it kind of explains the one impact that I had with the ground. I was puzzled why it wasn't climbing when I increased power. When in self-leveling mode, to increase altitude, pilot must both increase power and also pull back on the elevator stick.
- Flight controller includes voice prompts for various settings, and also to warn of low battery.
- Flight controller is configurable.
- Does not require FAA registration.
Con's
- Flight time is short, at a little over three minutes per battery. Additional spare batteries are not currently available, but will likely appear in the next month or so.
and here is its flight test demonstration.

Bright yellow fighter caught my eye
Love that he's doing a review on a plane but still refers to it as a quad as in 4. :) I keep waiting for him to call it a plane.
I like how you are really into buying things and showing us how they work thanks for the good video
I was getting excited before seeing the price.
+RCHELIBUG ikr...
+RCHELIBUG I like your vids
+Tyler Katsoff Thankyou
Haha, yeah totally agree. The flying time for the price is pretty poor also. :p
I don't think its overpriced for the product you get, but it's not cheap.
You're so used to saying quadcopter aren't you? haha ;D
Over 600 quadcopter reviews, it's hard to switch gears.
That plane seems like the pinnacle of silliness in RC to me (but what do I know). But good review and it does actually fly decently.
It's cool that it's brushless! By the way, the combination elevators and ailerons are called elevons. :)
"Your little lady inside the transmitter"... LOL !
What a great little flyer cheers for the demo.
Another great demonstration Mr. 101! Think I will wait till they are 70% off as $121.99 (through Banggood) seems a bit steep for me on what you get. They are including FREE shipping, which is nice, lol. Keep those videos and great attitude coming ;)
my umx beast 3d has that same battery plug, I can't remember the name of them off the top of my head though
I'm a subscriber so this video was in my subscription list but many of your videos appeared on the sidebar as recommended videos before I subscribed.
Good video! You kept saying "quad copter"
Plane: *takes off*
Also Plane: *REEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee.......*
Sure flies well even with the wind against it & yes very fast
Awesome,Well Informed video as Usual!!
the plane,the plane boss. lol. good review as usual. I really like when you do something different besides Quadcopter. thank you.
I agree with this dude.
Thanks
Nolan Beckner.
I like your vids helps a lot in purchasing a new plane
Looking at rd helicopters and came across your vid . Good vid
Looks and flies great...!
$158 through Amazon, $120 direct from Banggood... either way you're paying twice what it is worth.
Awesome I have some airplanes that have as3x with is like the sablization mode in case of wind and that little f22 is so cool I want one so bad
I have got to get me one of these!
You should ask one of your sponsors for a handheld anemometer, it'd be good pre flight info instead of having to rely on "it's quite windy" etc. Cool vids man. Gonna have to get some of the toy grade stuff for a bit of fun during summer (the best day in the UK lol).
I actually have one with me for all flights. I just didn't use it. I knew you guys would hear the wind in the microphone and thought that might be enough ;-)
Oh OK, no worries, was just a suggestion. Have a good day :)
Have noticed that this video has recently become very popular. But to tell you the truth, I'm not sure why? I mean it doesn't seem much different than my other reviews. Viewers, request that you provide a short description of how you found this video? Were you searching for the Macfree, or did the thumbnail grab your attention, or was this posted on another website, or what....? Thanks, QC101
It kept on popping up as a recommended video on my sidebar and I clicked on it because it looked kinda cool 👍🏼
floridaboy Thanks.
GE90 Thank you. It seems to be that the thumbnail picture seems to be attracting the visitors. Guess I'll have to put more effort into my thumbnails to make them more attractive.
It was in recommended section for a while so i tought id watch it
Scott De Jong Thanks!
landing like a pro!!!! ;)
Fun fact, you can use the battery from a PS3 controller, it also runs on 3,7 but the amps are higher, can't remember how much (i think it's 700). Connector is the same.
looks like a bind plug like on the kx x251
Very nice little plane.
it does have an auto matic gravity control on the vehicle same like any quadcopter
and accelerometers also.
to my knowledge, ailerons are on the main wing next too the flaperons. which one is outer or inner on the main wings, I can't remember. the back ones are different.they are stabilizers. if the stabilizers have flaps, those flaps are elevators. if the entire stabilizer moves instead of having flaps, they are stabilators. spoken from a rookie in the USMC AirWing. again, not a pro. Don't quote me, but I hear this terminology regularly. take it easy Quadcopter 101.
when did it turn into a quadcopter
C'mon. I mostly review quadcopters. It's hard to switch gears ;-)
omg wow this is so coool its okay
I wonder if the low power warning is triggered by some telemetry data from the plane or simple by a timer inside the transmitter.
related videos led me here. i was looking at other rc vids posted
It would be cool if they also had regular gray color as well.
I'm gonna buy this one!
Elevons is so innovative and simple
Very nice video 101 well explanation. Good choice airplane to review.
So, the difference between a quadcopter and an airplane is that applying throttle will NOT making the plane gain altitude. I don't think it has anything to do with self leveling mode. You need to give it some elevator to gain altitude.
That only works momentarily, and the aircraft will slow with the elevator, possibly to a stall. For a given angle of attack, increasing throttle will increase altitude. krepelka.com/fsweb/lessons/student/studentlessons03.htm
I love your videos
look like 3-4 years old kid toys...but this staff is very powerful👍👍👍👍
battery said 200mah right on it i think i saw when you took it out of the plane
You can do a review on airplanes are better, stronger than that?
if u want too see him actually fly it skip to 8:24
Where can I buy mini f22 rc propellers?
I buyed this rc 1 year ago but no flying.
Because f22 rc propellers all broken.
Not where any information buy mini f22 rc propellers.
Did you resolve your propeller' problem?
I gonna try with a quadcopter' propeller.
Looks like a good indoor flyer. Kind of "mushes" around outside .. maybe on a calm night. Good feature (but annoying) with the voice telling you "Low Power". Looking forward to seeing more flights .. under better conditions. Cheers
+Bill Somrak yeh its like having your mother in law in the back seat.
+Gregory Webber rofl
wow its so so sweet aircraft sweet cute littel jet f-22 !
I'm going to be ordering a Syma x8hg soon and I wanted to know if you will review it soon?
awesome video man
I've flown quadcopter but never planes will quad pilot be Abel to pick up RC planes easily ?
Nice sky
Elevons is the term for that combination
would be cool if this little plane has a EDF jet in it
Would a 380 mah battery from a quad fit in it?
i going to mabye buy one on gearbest but on banggood.com it sais i cant ship to the us
Hey i don't mean to be picky but just so you know they are called elevons.
Can somebody please tell me where to get or what kind of batteries are in this thing? I don't know what the male piece of this type of battery terminal is called.
This "quadcopter" even has wings.
nikoladd lol
That annoyed me to
Very good, thanks
those are called elevons i believe they call it on Rc jets
I love your video
Do a E-Flite RareBear review
what is the propeller size used in the aircraft? any spare props that I can buy?
He flies it at 8:28
love your videos bud!
i like your video, thanks
Why do you keep calling it a quadcopter? I don't see 4 props
Do you giveaway some of your drones you have a lot of them
start with the flying! anyway you owe me whatever long your video was of life!
I'm no expert but isn't s quadcopter only drones with 4 props not a one prop plane
hiya I also love this plane but sadly ive bot flown it for over a year because it is just hell trying to find any props for her I have follow tone of advice for this plane and have got atleast 6 different types of prop and not one works for it any help would be a big help in UK btw
I could also get things printed up on a 3D printer if anyone could get hold of the pattern for me
I just find it because I'm a subscriber
nice vid but you say that your going to fly but then you say wait let me tell you something
but good vid maybe put a clip of you flying it before the vid sorta as an intro
I ordered this more than a month ago from Gearbest and still no shipping information! It was not pre-order, I am not sure how this guys make business, but I will ask PayPal to take my $120's back soon.
seems like a decent little flyer! what's the damage on one of these? I'll stick to my 250 quads any way
Here's the damage www.banggood.com/Macfree-2_4G-6CH-DSM2-Brushless-MCF2201-Micro-F-22-Warbird-RTF-p-1022987.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3
By the way, am curious how you found this video? For some reason, this one has gained a lot of populariity in the past few days, and am wondering where people were coming from?
Quadcopter 101 It was on my TH-cam homepage as a suggested video, I'm subscribed to you so it suggests your videos pretty regularly :) and thanks for the reply
Quadcopter 101 oh it's pretty pricey for what it is though :O I'd be more inclined to spend 3 times that and buy a big EDF model :P
Connector is micro molex correct?
can this be made fpv ???
Can you mount a lite camera?
Does it really tell you it's ready ?
Yes, listen at 8:05
where you at
awsome. jet
Hello 101 , what's the best RTF FPV Quadcopter i can buy/build under 200$ ?
Cx-20
dji phantom 1
+Terror Byte x8g isn't FPV, try x8hg
Hubsan H107d.
Cheap Micro H
is that a radio control remot or ir controlled?? , because I don't see antenna on the remote
2.4Ghz radio controlled.
Is it a quad copter or a plane
Did he call it a quadcopter?
Yes he did ;-)
@@Quadcopter101 amazing, you found a rare one propeller quadcopter
but why in the desert for these videos ??
do u know where I can get batteries for this at mine did nt come with the batteries tx u I know I need an 1S 3.7V 200mAh but I can't find them
Apparently the following batteries work with this airplane also.

Very common batteries. Cheap and you should be able to find them anywhere, but here are some from Banggood (you get 2 for $6.99) www.banggood.com/PeakPowe-MCPX-FBL100-V922-RC-Helicopter-Parts-300mAh-30C-Battery-p-87305.html?cur_warehouse=CN?p=RB0922217402201307U3
I tried those batteries and they don't fit the charger can u tell me where to get one that will fit these
Net little plane tiny brushless motor,cool😎
Nice I meant,a bit pricey for what it is?
+adam benson it has a really small brushless motor so it would cost a lot more
adam benson why the emoji?
what ?! lol
eww lol
Styrofoam I'm assuming..?
man i want one!!
Does it land near you with the receiver in auto landing mode?
No it does not.
You said you were using rudder only in the beginning, the plane does not have a rudder.
Correct. But I was using what normally would be the rudder control (right-left movement on left stick).
That is odd, my F-22 doesn’t use the yaw stick,
I might be mistaken.
Were to get the rc plane f22
i like it!
oh shit! just fly it!!!!
Any1 have a link to buy one of these propellers bec I lost mine
Aliexpress. Make sure to select the appropriate propellers for brushed or brushless motor version www.aliexpress.com/item/33014148059.html
Wow so cool 😎
Big J Koren why the emoji?
Renovski cringe
I believe that was a 200mah battery, at least the one you show. If a 300mah was supplied, it might be worth it.
300mah micro heli batteries like the following supposedly work with this www.banggood.com/Wholesale-WLtoys-V922-RC-Helicopter-Spare-Parts-3_7V-300mAh-Li-po-Battery-V922-25-p-60155.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3

Oh, it was a Prop plane.... i thought you got the jet engine powered one. Ehh,
Where have you buy the desert?
