A TRUE CHAMPION OF RC HELPING OTHERS APPRECIATED MY FRIENDS ALL THE BEST
Thanks Lawrence!
Woo Wee ...Lucky with the voltage alarm...Nice plane
I love flying them till they die ;)
Big Props to the "Camera Crew" on this video... might be the toughest video I've seen you make for her to film. LOL. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
This one was FAST and close ;)
Even though it is Christmas every day with you. I wish you and the family a very Merry Christmas.
Yes, and thanks Tim! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Got out of school early today for Christmas break, so glad I could watch this right away, this thing looks sick!
Nice! Congrats on the early view!
I just maidened my eachine F-18 using your setup and it flew like a dream! I love your videos and the detail you go into when setting up planes thank you for all the time you put into your videos 🙏🏻
Merry Christmas Brian and Family. Nice little Jet it looks like it made a lot of Fun a nice Evening too like the Sunset
Thanks RCHeliJet! Sunsets in the summer are so much better. Thank GOD we just passed the WINTER SOLSTICE a few days ago...longer and longer till Mid-Summer - Four Seasons keeps us on our toes here ;)
Yes yes yes been waiting a rc f18
It is GOOD. Wish it was a bit cheaper for what it is, but GREAT if money is not the biggest issues for a buyer.
Zip-Zip-Zip-Zing, What A Crazy Lil F18 Thing! 😁
YES!
Oh, on a totally unrelated note, I got a wind sac from another source ;) You'll see soon - LOL - in the next couple weeks I'll share more, but don't worry, your wind sac will be out there dangling precariously over the barb wire still ;)
Looks amazing in the sky
sure does!
Very cool scale f18 .
I think so too ;)
Merry Christmas Brian and family, thanks for all the great videos !
You're welcome, and thank YOU for being here to watch them! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Brian and Camera Crew, have thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the years and this past year has seen you go from strength to strength. Unlike a certain other channel you dont try and ram these products down our throats but leave us to decide so respect for that, I think you have exactly the right approach.
Awesome JJ S - Glad you're enjoying our content, and we do respect that everyone might not be crazy about every plane, even if it is a GOOD plane ;) This has always been a gripe of mine with some of our piers...although I get where they're coming from, it's just a bit too gimmicky for my taste.
Merry Christmas to your JJ S!
Brian,
You are a very talented flyer, but your camera crew is the best! Girl you Rock! Thanks again for the great review!
She really is! She's been running a brand new camera too, and it's HEAVY! She's getting used to it still, but now with the even higher definition camera, you can see every zit and drip of sweat - ewww - LOL ;)
What a pro….. brian you are the man!!! Merry Christmas to you, camera crew and the rest of the family!
Thanks Mike & Merry Christmas!
That is crazy fast! To much for my newby ass. Great video CameraCrew!
yeah, and you HAVE to fly it fast or she'll stall ;)
watched your 1.1 t28 warbird video, same night I went out and bought one, flew it and nothing but good thoughts on it. Definitely gonna be sticking with this channel as long as I’m in the hobby
AWESOME! Thanks Jim ;)
I'm just getting into the hobby and i just wanted to say that your videos are so helpful. The detail is excellent and it is helping to answer so many questions that I had. Thanks very much dude. I would be lost without BrianPhillipsRC.
Glad to help, and thanks for saying this ;) Sometimes I think, I'm just getting way too much in the weeds, but then I hear from newer pilots that need some help, and it's encouraging that we're not missing the boat ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Its things like “How do I get SAFE on a PNP plane?”, “ How do I know SAFE is working?”, “How do I set up my dual rates & expo?” and so much more. Keep doing your thing, it’s excellent!
Merry Christmas! Your videos are the best
Merry Christmas!
Great plane!! Thanks for the show!
You're welcome Marco ;)
Looks great for being a smaller model! Definitely something to look at. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Thanks!
That’s a great plane. Looks really nice. Thank you Brian and camera crew great video recording
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching Carlos!
As usual.. great review mate.👍👍👐
Thanks 👍
Had to chuckle watching this when you started talking about including glue. That's one thing Dynam does right, always a couple tubes of china glue in the box.
EXACTLY!!!
love the videos... First 8 minutes has told me I need to learn a WHOLE LOT MORE about setting up a plane and making adjustments (I've got a Carbon Cub S2 - watched your video and that helped SOOO MUCH)!!!! Thank you!
Glad to help! Thanks!
I figured this would be a good place to find out about that yellow wire coming from the ESC. Well, an hour and forty seven minutes later, I find out that you don't know what that wire is either. So I guess I can proceed with the build. Thanks for the videos, even if you don't know what the fourth wire is!
very cool Eachine
Totally!
This thing is a rocket on 4s!! Same as the F-16. You could go to the moon 😂 just to be safe I put a 40a esc as I also did with the latter. Running a 1500mh 100c 4s. Had to cut a slot into the canopy to fit. Both no gyro.. What's crazy is I too have my expo at 35. But my rates at 65. (Due to no gyro) Elevator at 75/25 and it's rock solid.
Love your video's BP! Definitely the best RC channel on TH-cam! Hope yall have a great Christmas!!
SWEET! I bet the F-18 would go straight to the moon on 4S!
Merry Christmas to you too Dean!
lol its the little planes in life that make brian phillips SO EXCITED
They do get me going!!!
Finally, a haircut...
Have a safe and merry holidays
It was getting CRAZY ;)
That thing looks like a handful, pretty wirey. lol Thanks Brian
It's a small handful ;) LOL But fun still!!!
Looks and flies sweet
True! Glad I got this beauty.
Hmm, wow. Cool! I’m a fan of Eachine 50mm EDFs, so this is great!
Glad you like it!
Just subbed..new to r/c airplanes..got a rage micro warbird a month ago and 3 days ago an aero scout..I'm hooked..your channel is most informative on you tube..thanks for all you do.
Welcome Wharf Rat! Glad you're here with us, and hope we can help guide you from where you are to where you want to go!
Sounds awesome!!
for a little gal, YEAH!
Great Brian This one flies way better then the F-16 50mm but much faster. But the one thing is that this one is much smaller then the F-16 50mm
TRUE - Faster and NEEDS it. Love the way this plane flies though, only wish I could better reach the Y cables...I'd flapperon and taileron this little beauty right up ;)
This thing is $109 bucks plus shipping on Banggood right now. I absolutely had to buy one, almost bought 2
yeah, but PNP...don't forget Rx will add some cost ;)
Now my anticipation is peaked, bigger than normal and dangerous? What could it be?
Both, and yet ;)
I like this one it looks killer. I should have watched ur review of the umx a-10 before i opened mine cause i used the whole piece of velcro and it was hard as h@@@ to get out. I did get it out without screwing it up. Thats y its good to watch ur reviews u give good tips. Thanks merry Christmas an happy new year
Thanks Chad! Happy New Years to you too - always a good idea to watch me screw it up so you don't have too - LOL ;)
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family great video as always awesome job through out the year and I appreciate the time you put into the videos. Just want you to know is that your videos have helped me a lot in my addiction to rc air craft lol. You guys are awesome at what you do. Thanks and have safe holidays!
Thanks! You too - Merry Christmas! Thanks for being here with us, and we're so glad you're getting something out of our efforts....so much more on the way to keep you hopefully interested!
Thanks Rob!
I just scored it through Your link for $140 AU.
Like a $100 US.
Beauty Hotdog, Stokafied.
NICE!!! So glad you did! This F-18 is very fun!!!
Nice hair cut .... Merry Christmas to family !
Thanks - I couldn't handle it any more. I felt like Sampson, kept knocking over buildings and the like... LOL
Good to see Bangood on your rotation still,. I feel
ZOHD 50mm EDF Delta strike is up your alley,. You had the ZOHD Alpha going on, no worries about the Alpha Ending, . It happens. Regards to Camera Crew! Shes your Rock,
Rock that 50mm edf if u would, thks.
Captain John Alabama USA.
Thanks Captain Joe! We have a ZOHD coming soon ;)
Is it something about the size of the airframe that makes them release all these smaller jets without rudders? I'd thought it was the cost of servos, but then things like this, the E-flite F-15 and upcoming Tomcat are in a higher price range already, and the A-10 has great rudders at a similar size. I'm definitely not a good enough pilot to get a good landing path without! They look so cool, but flying on a short and bumpy asphalt strip I know I'll miss.
Very good point. Literally the only reason i wouldnt get this bird
Rudders are not AS necessary, and some of these smaller planes get the CG flubbed up by the additional weight, and other times some of these planes' rudders will ROLL a plane...BUT I think it's a cost to benefit ratio. I love rudders, even when they're small. Also, when you're flying fast, the stabs are still helping some...but you can't knife edge, and can't keep in high alpha unless you're EXACTLY straight into the wind. I agree I want them, but this is still a sweet plane, and not insurmountable to install some 3.5g servos yourself if you want to make it a $300 plane, instead of a ~$250 plane.
Happy holidays to you and camera crew lol.
Happy holidays!
eCalc and Mathematica have micro-applications: which can calculate the CG or moment of inertia "engineer jargon". My engineer peers there is a small fee for access to these apps. A tail heavy aircraft is less likely to stall than the popular nose forward heavy feel preferred by most rc pilots. Planes should be mechanically square not requiring trim. I have never had a stalled aircraft full scale or rc models. Cheers, Brad 😉
Did your program suggest 110mm was correct in this application?
Oh sorry,,,,merry Christmas and happy new year.
Same to you!
Sweet!
yeah! for sure!
Have A Holy Joly Christmas Flying R/c Planes this years
I will, and actually worked on something NEW and BIG on Christmas Day - you'll soon see, I hope ;)
This jet has to be the fastest plane I own on 4S. I gave it flaperons and it helps to slow it down.
Totally! It's a BLAST now ;)
Glad to see your vid Brian mines on way and I’ve now got nx6 and same receivers as you have in it I’m still learning all the new things with these I’m no where near as fast as you on doing transmitter lol but thanks for all the set ups and that now I can’t wait for it to get here lol I got the pnp when it was at £135 pounds I think the price gone up on Banggood and Ali exspress I got mine on Ali but looks great in air
You'll love it!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I had so much fun flying it Brian I had same set up with ar630 I snapped tip of missile but defo gonna take it for maiden lol I too put cg in line with 1300mah cg in line with servo arms and didn’t have to do no trimming, I’m one of the guy’s that watch your whole vids cos think you great tips only been flying for couple years properly at the time of lockdowns started I’m loving the addiction I mean hobby lol in 2 years I’ve built up my hanger to bout 40 planes some are still boxed so I think addiction is right keep up the good work I’ve learnt so much from you and few others you and the p brothers are the best, all the best from the uk 🇬🇧 , Gary
Hi Brian and Camera crew, Merry Christmas!! In your video around 54 minutes you read the warning on the wires. Could it be that “please set the esc route again...” means that you need to ensure the wires are set so they don’t get sucked into the fan. The same warning was on the wire in the F16 - and you know what happened to someone when the wires were not secured.
Just a thought. Thanks for the videos.
Oh YEAH! That could TOTALLY have been what the Chinese scribbles meant.
I had forgotten about that issue on the F-16!!!
Thanks for the reminder, and tip - I think you've GOTTA be right!
CG in the online manual looks correct at 110mm
If 110mm is correct, they measured us from the wrong point...maybe they meant from the FRONT of the wing skirts (I don't even know what to call that front portion over the inlets).
This might work???
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes, starting where the inlets (whatever those are called) come off of the forward fuselage, not at the start of the main wing.
This little eachine f-18 has been hiding in the corner of Banggood website for a while now. In fact, I just got through looking at it before YT, to see someone finally reviewing one!!
Good stuff Brian and camera crew. It really looks great in the air and seems to handle abrupt turns :). Your review will help lots of other people enjoy this plane. I would like to have one but for me, I think they're (F-18 F-16) just a bit too $$ and after shipping #@:!? I hope Arrows produces a 50mm L-39!!
AirHammer out!!
Yeah agreed, $250 for a 50mm is crazy
I'm in full agreement, but gotta keep in mind, some people don't care about cost (*like 1% of RC'ers) and then there's the over-seas guys that don't get access to the Horizon / Arrows stuff without re-mortgaging the house for shipping...Banggood has it's time and place, and this plane IS sweet, but yeah, it's not cheap ;(
There's a flash sale right now! The kit is only $73.99, delivery by 10/22/22.
Cool plane but maybe painting the canopy black would make it look way better?
Great job. Hey Ice Ice would you like to do a CARF unbox, build, Gear set up and hydraulics set up on a F4U with hinge wings for me. I have a lot of questions to ask you and it would probably just be better for everyone if you just do an instructional video on it. 🤣
Not sure what (brand??) that is? I'd like to do some more complex planes, but we don't have relationships with these distributors or vendors yet, and I suppose their business model probably doesn't include having a guy like me getting a plane for reviews? Not sure they could make business sense of it...I think many of these companies operate at a very tight margin to keep in business, while the monsters of the world, like Horizon Hobby have 100% Chinese labor and decent quality to expense ratio to reach the masses. Not sure I'm exactly right, but the more I learn about this crazy RC business, the more I think this is true. To make it on the RC stage these days, you have to WANT IT BAD. There's no half ass efforts, even from the small companies that barely make it work.
@@BrianPhillipsRC it's a top of the line modle with a 5 cylinder radial and hydraulic landing controlled gear. It's one of tboughs monster planes, top of the line that would be cool to see a piece by piece build. I'm sure you are right with what said about the business side. Heck it wouldn't be worth your time to do a huge production on that F4U. But you would make it informative and interesting.
Ive got a question I've been meaning to ask. If a servo goes bad in a foam plane can you cut the wires and splice in a new servo instead of taking on the near impossible task of chasing the wire to replace the servo? Maybe a dumb question. Just a thought I had. Merry Christmas 🎄.
YES, and I've done it too. I'd FAR prefer thought, to FIX the servo and only yank out about 1/2 inch or so of cable out to access it.
I'm a giant fan for F-18's, but I think I'm gonna wait for the price for this one to drop down to closer to the Eachine F16 before getting it. That said, when I do get it, I'm betting that if I were put a servo in for working rudders, I might be able to CG the plane with my 1800's.
It's a great plane, but I agree...the pricing can be so crazy at Banggood at times...
Pretty dope
Sure is!
You ever figure out the correct CG? Thanks for all the videos.
1:24:54 I bought one of their thunderbolts and the manual is so tiny I couldn't read it even WITH my high power reading glasses.
Nice ;)
Hi Brian great video as always. Need some schooling. I have Nx8. What does gain knob adjust? How to set up and is it just for jets mostly? Sorry if you covered this in the radio set just haven't made it that far. I will watch the radio set up later. Thanks for the info and have a merry Christmas!!!
Gain adjusts how heavily the AS3X stabilisation reacts to outside forces, thats why at the start the plane is wobbling from side to side in the air because the gain is set too high. Its not a knob on the transmitter btw its in the menus and only relevant if you are using AS3X or SAFE.
OK thanks for the info.. Now I understand what it affects. I do have a programmable knob on my just wasn't sure if it would affect it. If you. Assign it then move more or less. Thank you for the info have a merry Christmas
I set the knob to adjust the gains of the AS3X, times the multiplier effect from the " 0.25X - 4X " gain setting in the AS3X menu. This is in the radio setup, so you can see how to do it yourself ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you so much. Ya I watch the radio set up and seen how to. I thought you assigned it to the knob.one thing I've been watching so many of your videos, when I'm fly now I hear your voice kinda like instructor lmao. Thanks to you and camera crew. 😁 Have a happy new year 🍻
Bey Brian and Megan. When do you chose to use an AR 630 vs an AR631? I’ve been hesitant to use the 630 because of potential battery interference with the lack of antenna.
When range is not a great concern, or when it's REAL tight. The END PINS are way easier to get into a tight spot. Horizon Hobby claims there's no difference in range, but I question this.
My take is...small plane - Go with AR630. Bigger plane with ROOM to make the top pins work, go with the AR631
I would not have used more than 40% aileron gain on a maiden. I typically start with 30, 40, and 50 percent on AER. The CG on the 90mm Freewing F/A-18 is at 88mm. Maybe they should have divided the 110 by 2..
I run a stabilizer and expo, so that might help explain our difference in settings, but really rates are super subjective.
As for the 90mm F-18..yeah, since it's 3.5 times as big, maybe we needed to divide by 3??? LOL Gotta love these manuals - job security for me here on BrianPhillipsRC - LOL!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I generally set the expo to 1/4th of whatever the rate is. I’ve never used the X2 or X4 rate gain settings. I plan on running some experiments to see what they do to the overall gain. So far, I haven’t seen a difference in the air between 40% gain on an AR636 and 40%X1 on an AR637T. Some say that they aren’t the same, but I’m not so sure..
I have a 60mm EDF f-18 would love to have a 80 or 90mm f-18 but the prices are silly. Can get a bigger planes for less money....
If you make it yourself. Pricing is high on everything right now. I had to buy a locking pin for my trailer hitch the other day - $22.00!!! Would have been more like $7.50 last year
Nice flight and setup! Did you notice the smart battery life decreasing much in the cold? How cold was it? Thanks!
No, we talked about that off camera....but we haven't pushed the limits much...since it's been pretty warm here this year. We will talk about it when we get a REAL bad day for filming (it's coming, EWWWWWWWW)
Jack Black flies another plane
He flies a lot of them ;)
Happy holidays Brian and family one question is do you believe in making the outboard end nozzles smaller would that make any difference better or worse
I think this plane flies amazing, and lacks nothing for power on 4S, but if you make the nozzles smaller, you might squeeze a bit more performance out of her.
Not for this plane I'm thinking about it for a f/a 18e 64mm on 4s with 12blade
Freewing f18
Looking to getting into rc planes. Like the warbirds and the jets. Can you use one remote for more than 1 plane? What would be a good first remote? Is there a big learning curve?
Thanks
Yes. All Spectrum Radios and all the major manufacturers can hold more than one model.
@@VellaTek is there a difference in radio brands? Are there specific things to look for in a radio? Appreciate your response. New to the hobby.
Yes, I have 72 or so in my DX8, but almost 100 in my DX18. Some overlap, btw...but you can also do this with most brands nowadays, but I use Spektrum, and prefer it.
@@BrianPhillipsRC .... Thanks
There is a difference. Many are using a proprietary protocol...the language the transmitter and receiver speak...some are compatible, and some are not. Spektrum operates in DSMX or DSM2 or real old ones are DSM. Futaba is FHSS. Flyzone uses their own proprietary protocol, but there are "OpenTx" transmitters that will do "multi-protocol". Don't even bother with that...you need to be somewhat of an expert. You will be very overwhelmed and you will not find success, so please do get a Spektrum Tx, and you can follow along with us, or even go back in time and follow along. We will help you along the way. Steep learning curve, you you CAN do it.
would you say decent for small field or would you recommend a large area
Sure. It's not bad in a relatively small field, if you have a good approach for landing.
Hi 🙋♂️ Sorry.. Do you put glue on the wings?? Thank you so much 🙋♂️
yes - watch the unbox, build, radio setup (THIS VIDEO!)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you so much.. I need another advice, I hope I won't bother you. The battery I brought is 4S and it weights 185 grams. Do you suggest me to move it near the tip or the tail? Thank you.
That stated CG goes against all my instincts, good job it has safe otherwise the life expectancy would be less than 2 seconds!!! Cannot help thinking cg should be further forward than stated, surely the cg is not marked right. Who knows but it looks like good fun to fly . What cg did you end up with Brian ? I suppose a couple of 5gm servos would add rudder control if someone wanted to try it. It costs £172 in uk, I will pass.
It was only about 10ish mm back from the most inboard part of the MAIN wing. She flew well. I could have brought it back further too to help accomplish better slow flight performance, I think.
As for the 5g servos for the rudders...more like 3.5g or less...those vertical stabs are dinky
nice flight, can you tell me how many mm to set the excursions of the wings, and of the elevator? and exp.? thanks bye
The most surprising part of this video is that a 50mm edf managed to fly for 3 minutes with only a 3s 1300mah battery.
Have you heard of the Arrows 50mm Viper? Came out years earlier and capable of the same endurance
Piano - 3 Minutes on 1300mAh is about right for a small EDF, in my experience. Merry Christmas ;)
Hi, what an amazing channel you have!
I would like to ask you which kind of gyroscope did you use? Maybe NX3 PRO or NX3 EVOs?
Thank you so much!
Will the skid pads work on a road or will it get chewed up??
They will "work" but they WILL get chewed up ;)
As for the skid pads, they will be better than foam, but still anything that gets that much abrasion, will be bad.
Hey Brian , I’m using the dx6,can it be set up to turn as3x on and off? And is set up the same for stablezation on d6 as nx8? Sorry for silly question. If not ,if you still have a dx6,could you plz do a vid setting up as3x with ar630 ?oh and just wanna say thank you for all the work on making these vids to help others in learning the world of rc planes. And man, you are silly fast on setting your present radio lol.I was like ,slow down dammit! Lol, no disrespect intended amigo.again thank you to you and your wife for taking tons of your time for posting vids that help with deciding on purchase of products.god bless .
First - you probably need to update your firmware so you can get forward programming, and you will need to make some assignments to LOWER channels....
JUST like I did, you need to setup a FLIGHT MODE
Attach a channel to that Flight mode in Channel Assign
Go into Forward Programming and do First Time AS3X Setup and make your assignment from above to the channel.
Now do the First Time SAFE setup and you'll be well on the way to copying my setup.
I can not share exactly how to do it since I don't have the DX6, and when and if you have available funds, you want to think about getting an NX8 - this will carry you along for some time, before needing another upgrade.
Good luck. It's not as hard as you think - just get in there an do it. Remember....forward programming is only done AFTER you bind...the plane HAS TO BE ON and BOUND for the menu option to even show up.
Oh yeah, if you want to see the video slower, click on the gear and change the playback speed. This can help a LOT when people want to linger longer on some steps. Hope this facilitates your need...since we have such super-long videos already.
Hi I’m new to the hobby. Does the RC controller come with it or is it something I need to buy separate? I’m sorry I don’t know what PNP means. What control do I need. Thanks in advance.
Jenny, this Transmitter is something you buy separately, and probably not a great beginner plane, even though it appears to be inexpensive.
Here's some beginner choices we recommend, where you might be able to get everything you need, or at least more of it in one shot.
Keep in mind...
RTF - READ TO FLY comes with almost everything you need - usually you have to add some AA's or AAA's in the provided transmitter.
BNF - BIND AND FLY comes with everything BUT the Transmitter and Battery
PNP - PLUG AND PLAY (aka PNF - plug and fly) comes with everything but the Transmitter, Receiver, and Battery - this is the finish level of this F-18

would you get much more flight time with a 1800 3s?
I think it would work pretty good, but not 100% sure
Hi, you flown 3S and 4S. What would you recommend? Fly it in 3 or 4S?
4S is way more fun, but 3S is okay.
👍
Thanks!
Hi brian, I'm looking towards getting more into this hobby by buying this F18, but I wanna know if there are cheaper options for the receiver and transmitter since the price for brazilians like me are stupid high, if you know any please let me know!
I’m sure it has been asked, but where do you have your CG?
It's supposedly been updated to 55mm....but I'd just try to copy the battery position and you'll be golden ;)
just got this model and my servo trusses are a full centimeter too long, absolutely no way to connect them :(
Brian are you familiar at all with the hobby king version f16 and f18? I had a quick question for you. It comes with a gyro pre installed and im 99.9% sure it may have been me but i crashed my f16 off of hand launch straight up .. straight down. I used a ar610 and thought maybe i didnt program it right. My question(sorry for rambling) do you think it would be possible to remove the pre existing gyro and put an ar630 in it?
Yes - you can usually just install an AR630 instead of the stock gyro
bprc.me/AR630
My suggestion would be to make sure you're surfaces are moving the right direction from YOUR stick inputs, and then from the Stabilizer before you try to hand launch (or for any plane for that matter)
I don't know why Eachine is not putting landing gear on these new jets or at least the ability to purchase and install.
It's not uncommon in this size class. If they don't have retracts, I almost prefer it this way, since I can't bring myself to belly land if there's gear on the plane - call it a personality flaw ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah I understand, I just prefer to take off and land with gear, as I am terrible at hand launching as always end up crashing that way. But guess everyone is different when it comes to it. Thanks Brian!
u not use ESLR ?
200$ is just too much for this guy. Needs to be like 140
Sorry - These things are getting more expensive...this plane was well over $140...don't forget the $80 Rx ;(
Is it worth 150 bucks?
I think it's a fair price at $150 (in today's INFLATED market). I'd love to see this plane for $125 given it's a PNP...but everything is going up so fast.
Fly time please
260$ for a 3s with no gear I’d rather gets a freewing f-18 4s for 160$ with landing gear
The freewing F-14 is going to have over $300 worth of batteries in it...not even in the same class - LOL
Overpriced.. You can get Freewing 64mm F-18 for 150e and this Eachine 50mm F-18 is 220e +import tax from outside of EU.. Freewing version has wheels, a lot more details and it's way better in overall. Not good Eachine...
Maybe if Freewing would work with us, we could bring you this BETTER? option....but MotionRC refuses to work with us - maybe let them know that we're marketing all their competitors, but not theirs???? Might be a good idea to get in the mix. So many amazing RC enthusiasts come here to see what we think of these little beauties.
They think their "in house" team is good enough...sorry, even though they do a GREAT job at showcasing planes, they ARE the company selling it, so NO-GO. They need to plop a few hundred dollars and ship us a few planes once in a while. It's not rocket science....buyers don't want the company selling the product to make a REVIEW.
Oh well, we'd work with MotionRC in a heartbeat - good company, and only one major issue? They don't work with me ;(...
@@BrianPhillipsRC Oh, ok. Thank you for your reply! Merry Christmas and happy new year from Finland!
‘Safe’ on a 50mm edf park flyer, for real? 🤦🏽
If you want it.
First viwe😎😎
Congrats!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thankyou bro ,I have a question,are you ever going to get the al37 airliner??
