Several in my club got into racing similar aircraft a few years ago and we had a blast. The Eflite Rare Bear on 6S was hard to beat. Makes me want to dust mine off and do it again. I’ve never seen anything like that with the coyotes. Camera man did a good job. We rarely captured any passes on video but the sound bites were worth the effort. Music to the ears!!
I had trouble launching the v900. In safe mode it twisted left and skimmed the ground. Do you start it in safe or as3x mode? Perhaps the gas above 50% is too much to start and tends to veer to the left. Some advice? Thanks!
I agree, best ever. We need a rematch with the Motion RC Skynetic Havok vs V900. Its funny the coyotes never react to my planes and I have at least three that really shriek, and I have 3 packs living nearby. Sirens set them off, and a large moonrise will every time. I've never heard anything like this though, wow. Those aerodynamic 1M racers disappear so fast. I want them to make a 1.5-2m version. More Yak 11 class Reno Racers. $400 is a steal for something that fun.
The HK you're flying is the EFXtra(975mm/38.3), not the EFX(1100mm/43.3"), right? The current EFX looks like a slightly scaled up E-Flite V900 now. I'm picking up an EFX today and I think I'm changing the motor out to lower KV and make it into an efficient cruiser. Cool video. Well done.
There is the EFX racer, and the EF xtra, there is no combination of the two unless you put the ”racer” wing on the body of the extra, which is identical except paint scheme.
LOL you guys are awesome! WOW man, I can't believe those Coyotes! I hope you guys are packing. Also, if someone loses a plane in the woods, go in a group for sure.
i own both and i have to say the v900 is by far the faster of the 2. I've crashed both and the v900 can take a" lickin" and keep flying. Its just a better plane thru and thru.
EFXtra all day long. If I could only have one plane, that would be it. I had two V900s and they were junk in comparison. The EFXtra is flawless(it could maybe have a bigger rudder for better knife-edging etc., but not a big thing...) The V900 is crap - awful design in the battery bay with screws sticking out, terrible wing spar design - basically a short coat hangar piece holding the wings together, the tail is weak, it doesn't fit many 4S 2200s, the foam is softer etc.. so the plane looks like crap faster, etc.. It is a tiny bit faster and yes it is nice that it isn't quite as loud, but for me it's a no-brainer - EFX all the way. The EFXtra will also do 5S bone stock... Flew mine is heavy wind the other day.. Been flying them for five years, and they are still a thrill... Lot of potential to grow into and have fun with on into the future... For ex. I used to just do WOT passes, then let off, climb, come down, and repeat. Now I carve at WOT for most of a pack.. 5S is yet another bonus.. Etc.

People are STILL talking about the Rare Bear. Loved that plane. Everyone did.
Great video fellas!!! Coyotes sound like the cheerleaders in the background lol, thanks for the fun👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks again Jeff!
Speed is awesome. Really enjoyed this one and the camera man did a awesome job on those rockets
I thought it was the road runner show with all those coyotes. Jeff should film the planes and then done a video on just all those coyotes.
Fun vid, Gents! Can't believe the speed of the V900 but even more intriguing are those Coyotes...That's wild! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😁 all in good fun!!
Fun vid. I get the same feeling when I fly mine as well. So much fun. The V900 has the sound and speed advantage but the EFX is sooo smooth.
Now this was just some good clean fun! Love it!
Best vid ever….. thanks for having my guys, we had so much fun with this one. Just put another smile 😃 on my face. Love it, can’t wait to do it again.
Niiice ! Action packed ! Pure adrenaline!
Good. V900
Is the transmission brake setting set by default?
for SlowJo Fasties are a fantasy nice video guys
🤣
fun video fellas made my Monday much better!!!!
Thanks!! Glad we could help!! I wanted that video and smile every time!
Nice vid guys! I love my EFXtra, on 4s its over 100 on my radar gun, great planes.
I put it on 5s and it's ballistic
I can't wait to get my V900 assembled and flying.
HOW WAS YOUR FLIGHT?
I had trouble launching the v900. In safe mode it twisted left and skimmed the ground. Do you start it in safe or as3x mode?
Perhaps the gas above 50% is too much to start and tends to veer to the left.
Some advice?
Thanks!
Its your reciever needs to be reprogrammed
You guys rock :)
Thanks! We appreciate it!
😂😂😂 great vid! Lemme go maiden my v900 👊🏿🤣
Go SEND IT!!!!!
@@RCPlaneReviewer oooh I sent it. Hit 115mph on 3s. Then I crashed as I started to set up for a landing 🤣. Repaired and will be sent again asap 🤣👊🏿
Wow, hitting 115mph is impressive! Can't wait to see it back in the air after the repairs.
@@RCPlaneReviewer full vid coming soon. 120mph 3s pb 💪🏿
And a few "send it" decals too 🤣

What you are flying is clearly the EFXtra with clipped wings, faster roll rate and less flight efficiency/speed
LOL you guys are awesome! WOW man, I can't believe those Coyotes! I hope you guys are packing. Also, if someone loses a plane in the woods, go in a group for sure.
Thanks for watching!! We are always packing out here lol and when planes crash in the pen we move quickly lol
Geiles Video!🤣👌
Thank you. I appreciate it!!

fun flight...tnx ...
Which aircraft is better?
Did you use gyro or as3x for both?
The v900 was faster..til I went 5s on the EFX Racer 🙃
@@RCPlaneReviewer Really?? v900 is 4 cells and efx is 5 cells? Launch is also very stable.😊
Dadgum, sounds like ya’ll need to thin out that coyote population a bit. Great flying guys !
Hahahaha It's was kinda sporty out there hearing all those coyotes but we got something for them 😅
