thank you for sharing captain , I love seeing you how to fly a Drone or a RC plane… the one I love the most is your sticker , Great demo and Nice plane
Looks like you are having a great summer. fun review, not sure I am ready for something that needs a long runway. I can see myself running into the building for sure.
Too funny 😁 When I got into RCs, I sucked in a paper towel into my Vipers intake while trying to bind it. Took an hour to disassemble it and remove all the paper towel pieces. 🙃
thanks captain drone, i think i always comment about EDF planes on your channel, this is like living a teenage dream through procuration :) so great watching them fly they just came out back them and you could still see jets on airfields. nice dramatic intro :)
My cousin just bought habu ss 70mm edf I never thought about sucking up a rock on reverse thrust I will definitely tell him to be careful of that. Thanks for showing it. 👍👍👍👍👍
Smh I’ve been flying for years and have many EDF Jets and only one turbine F-22 Jet, and I have never heard that, this was the first time. The habu JET is a great plane even the older one that came out a decade ago, and I love what Horizon did with the newer model making it beginner friendly because it captures more of an audience and hobbyists to start flying planes.
Actually your missing the first two Habu jets! Good luck trying to find them! The eflite Habu 32 and 32x. I had the Habu 32x but lost it in a engine out turn to final...got slow and spun in.
Just an FYI The Habu is a pretty old design now. Parkzone released the first version back in 2010 maybe even a couple years earlier than that. The UMX wasn't released until 2014. The UMX was a super fun plane too; I wish they would re-release it along with the UMX Warbirds they released around the same time.
Thanks for the demo, Captain Rock Sucker. I lose sight of my quad in the sky all the time, but can hit auto return to bring it back. I'm afraid I'd lose sight of a not-a-jet like that real quick.
I’m a drone pilot, and I would like to fly some planes, too. This is a nice plane, but I think I would also lose sight very quickly of it as well. Two functions are therefore amiss here for me : 1) RTH return to home (and therefore GPS), and 2) FPV capability (which could however make the necessity for GPS/RTH unnecessary. Facit : I‘m - still - looking for a plane about this size that offers a bit more than just basic LOS (line of sight) flying.
Love these jets. When you think about all the RC jets available, these are the best jets of the lot from a value perspective. I'm on to my 3rd jet, I crash one of the jets a few weeks ago and wrote it off, so I just use it for jet parts now for my other jets. The first jet I brought last year still goes ok.
EDF's is what they call it , it's still a jet but it's electric powered instead of jet fuel and can sometimes cost just as much to fly as one with jet fuel. Great video !!
Flies best on 2200, btw contrary to what is stated in the video, the three recommended battery sizes from Horizon Hobby themselves is 1300, 1800 and 2200.
Rock...boing....as there's a huge parking lot behind you Capt.... Why not use the parking lot??? I can't wait until they get these batteries to last as long as drones. 4 minutes you're just starting to have fun.... Another great video👍
Pretty cool! You would think they would have anticipated that something - rock,bug etc - could be sucked into the exhaust during reverse thrust and designed some kind of screen or something, lol.
I’m new to the hobby as well and I absolutely love it. I’ve been progressing and I was looking at purchasing my first jet and the Habu 50mm is what I was looking at so thanks for the reverse thrust Tip and I will also order extra fans because I’m sure I will need them. Thanks for the Video it’s greatly appreciated because ya know this little Cape Bretoner will most likely do the same. Lol 😂
You're definitely allowed to call it a jet, even Horizon calls it a jet and they're the ones who made it. There are turbine jets, there are EDF jets, and even pusher prop jets, they're all jets.... though the pusher prop jets are definitely straying the furthest away from basic design principals.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes 🙌 some people get very angry on the internet when you call these edfs jets. The rc Saylors got a lot of comments on it. Great little plane ✈️! That is the size I want but I will have to see if my super small field can hack this. Lots of trees 🌲 and buildings.
I pays the moneys and I moves the controls so's I calls it whats I likes. But I'm old and nearly outdated so there is that too.🤣😂🤣 Come on now ya just know there are differences between Nerds and Geeks ... um I'm not sure but this might be one of them.🤔
I started with FPV then went to planes. Learning LOS was extremely difficult for me. Lol But, with lots of practice, I have learned to basic 3D a twisted Hobbies foamie and own a half dozen others now. Planes are great. They are cheap, and easy to glue back together in a crash. And most are very quite. A different vibe then screaming around with FPV.
Out of curiosity, do you happen to know what the diameter and thickness of the main gear wheels are? I've been looking for larger but thin main gear wheels for a project and I've been having a hard time finding some.
Wicked little plane Steve! I gotta say thank God it's Sunday.lol Another great review. It looks like fun. Would you suggest it as a second plane. Do you think it's good bang for the buck??
The 50mm is cool but 4 to 5 mins flight time- nah. Oh, Steve - you msy want to try a Shop Vac, it will vacuum up those pesky rocks a lot better than that reverse thrust vacuum you tried ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're killin me, bro ! Wulfy
Like the way you will try almost anything, and not hide the brain-farts so we can learn from them. Won't know if this is a dumb question until I ask it... Can this or any EDF jets be flown with the Radiomaster Zorro? I am trying to expand from quadcopters a bit myself without breaking the bank.
Yes. The ZORRO is perfectly fine for the RC plane hobby. You'd need the 4 in 1 model and then all you'd need to know is if the RECEIVER in the plane is compatible with your radio. You can plug in pretty much any receiver in a plane because all receivers have channels 1 to 6 for the most part, and on planes the throttle, elevators, aeilerons, rudder each are on a channel, so you plug each of those into the correct channel into the receiver.
Hi Steve Great video. E-flite always have nice planes. i just have a question? Steve is it a plane now or can you also use it as a vacuum cleaner . I think it's a nice Blooper Steve. Greetings from the Netherlands. 👍😃🤚🇱🇺
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Steve your plane works well as a vacuum cleaner. Sucking on rocks is great. don't do it too often. hope you can fix it. I think it's funny. Steve what did your friends say when this happened. 👍😃🤚🇱🇺
2:05 you are not allowed?!, don't believe them, it's jet propulsion so you can still call it a jet. By definition a jet is the "rapid stream of liquid or gas forced out of a small opening". In this case it's an electric jet, not a turbo jet.👍😂
Definition of jet Basically that rc plane sucks in air via spinning blades and exhausts the fast moving air out the back ! That is a jet stream . You can call it a jet . Don’t let the idiots tell you any different.
Actually it is an edf JET. Don't know why you can't call it a jet. I have the habu sts edf jet. These are a Horizon Hobby product. You can find them under EDF Jet.
I have reviewed several inventions on this channel and many have been hit or miss, so I don't really review such things anymore. My contact info is in the ABOUT tab of TH-cam.

A good laugh was had by all.

Nice review! Great flying JET!! :)
Pretty neat Waiting to see if anyone does a review on the CFLY Areo Se Hard wired non WiFi drone.
thanks for share
Now I see why these jets are so popular. It looks great and a very stable flyer. Nice review Captain.

Still have my 32 x in the box unbuilt
@@mikew9788 Do you want to sell it? I was going to repair mine but my wife threw it out servos, engine/fan, retracts and receiver still on it!!

I’m new to the RC plane hobby so my historical knowledge is limited. I do love pretty much anything from UMX.
I have a brand new umx habu in the box. Been meaning to fly it but I've kind of put my rc hobby on the back burner the last couple of years.
Thanks for the demo, Captain Rock Sucker.

It's a turbo prop! Err, kind of.... pretty cool either way! I'd love to try flying planes. Great bid, ty! Downside: such a short flight! Wow!
Those are no ordinary planes.
Hard Rock Hallelujah!!!🤘😈
I plan on using 22mah for mine. I can see it flying great with a bit more power and weight.
Flies best on 2200, btw contrary to what is stated in the video, the three recommended battery sizes from Horizon Hobby themselves is 1300, 1800 and 2200.
Nice planes Steve. Looks like there fun to fly....👍
Rock...boing....as there's a huge parking lot behind you Capt....
Why not use the parking lot???
I can't wait until they get these batteries to last as long as drones. 4 minutes you're just starting to have fun....
Another great video👍
Super cool😎
Flight time may even be better without the weight of the camera on the plane. Cool video, cool plane!
Pretty cool! You would think they would have anticipated that something - rock,bug etc - could be sucked into the exhaust during reverse thrust and designed some kind of screen or something, lol.
Most people take off and land on a paved surface at their flight club or use a parking lot so for realism they left off the screen.
Well done Captain!; looking at the last "bit" of the video; begs the question, could we see a "Captain Drone Blooper" video ???!!!!!
My blooper reels have too much swearing and arm waving in them :-)
You fly very well.
Thank you

Good review , good flight, Reverse on gravel a no no ( ✔)
I certainly know that now
Good evening captain always great video nice review
Thank you kindly
Oh boy Steve....It can happen. With be it is sand at my beach runway...or seaweed! Haaa Regards from 'Down-under'

Awesome! Would you share your preferred way to attach the Insta360 to a fixed wing?
I use DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. The insta360 is so very light that it is pretty much 100% secure.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 So, as usual, the simplest solution turns out to be the best!

I agree. Most times an unexpected crash can be glued back together.
Good review Steve
Thank you
Uhh the Habus go even further back. It started with the Habu 32 ARF, then the UMX 180, then the 180s that was shown.
Out of curiosity, do you happen to know what the diameter and thickness of the main gear wheels are? I've been looking for larger but thin main gear wheels for a project and I've been having a hard time finding some.
We don’t get the chance to buy this type of RC plane in Bangladesh…… sad….. by the way nice HABU.
Are you going to show the repair video?
This is an old vid. To replace the fan blade it is super simple. If ever you have to do it you’ll figure it out in seconds.
I have to try to fly one of those. Where can I buy the HABU
Links are below the vid. It is sold at every hobby store as well as on Amazon.
Wicked little plane Steve! I gotta say thank God it's Sunday.lol Another great review. It looks like fun. Would you suggest it as a second plane. Do you think it's good bang for the buck??

Captain my Captain, your going to have to change your name to Captain Aircraft 😅😅
I have been called Captain “Foam”
Lol! Yeah I learned about sucking in rocks the hard way too...
I like to play nice I like to plan and where can you get the plane Steve the way from downtown like Wales
Check the links below the vid. Sometimes you can find these on AMAZON and other times at HORIZON HOBBY or your local Hobby Store.

Well that’s exactly what I would probably do I have never flown a plane so there you have it sucking rocks
Which Radio do u use ?
Can you share the Model ? I`m having trouble activating the AS3X
In this video I used the Spektrum iX12. AS3X and SAFE are all setup depending on how you did the binding (check the instruction manual)
How can I fly this with my quadcopter remote my radio Master tx16. It does have the four in one internal module will that work
Easy. You can either try to bind to the DSMX receiver, or get the BNF version and put your own receiver in that you know binds with your radio.
We call these EDF jets and the turbine versions turbine jets.
2:05 you are not allowed?!, don't believe them, it's jet propulsion so you can still call it a jet.
By definition a jet is the "rapid stream of liquid or gas forced out of a small opening".

If you like this, Eachine has a F-18 50MM and I run a 4s 2200 lipo on it 🫡
I saw that. Very nice!
from Aesops Tales and the moral of the story,,,,,no reverse thrust LOLOL
No reverse thrust over loose gravel for certain!
Its a jet
I will be honest, stay with drone, the community of planes will be after you. jajajajajajajajajaja, 8 min when the funny moment start
It is a jet, just because it is electric does not mean it's not a jet. You are thinking of a turbine, it spins impellers with fuel. Both are jets.
Correct. Since the video I’ve been flying these planes for a year & I now just call them jets.
Actually it is an edf JET. Don't know why you can't call it a jet. I have the habu sts edf jet. These are a Horizon Hobby product. You can find them under EDF Jet.
Yup, Jet is not accepted as I’ve been told many times on TH-cam by people “apparently “ wiser then me in the hobby, but EDF Jet is perfectly fine.
For the poor people? Yet to comment, I need to agree to be respectful?
Pseudo jet
