Well done . Nice flight . Incredible flight time.
Thanks. I'd sure like to see the rest of the EDF market crack the code and get those flight times up to 7-8m. One of the best features of the plane.
Great review!! I love my V1.
Agreed. Sets the bar for EDFs.
As always Straight line reviews no crap Thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment.
@@RCVideoReviews In my Avanti V2 80mm, I use 5A, 6A 50C and placed all the way back favoring the stern.
Nice review
Thanks!
Nice review! I love my V1. Just a thought, if you had to put in that much elevator trim then you should move your battery forward a bit.
I don’t know, when he did the inverted 45 degree test in appeared to be a bit nose heavy
Like mine too had it afew now,that one and got that Vulcan both good flyers!
I missed out on the first round of the V2. They're sold out again at MRC right now. This is going to be a crazy popular model I think.
I have both the Avanti V2 and a FMS BAE Hawk (tuned with a 2100 kv motor). I like the BAE Hawk more - it is faster, has a much better sound, is as easy to land as the Avanti and IMO looks better.
The Hawk is definitely a good looking plane. I had that one, just didn't get the same flight time out of it.
Looks solid. I'm sure it will be in the hanger
This is one of those planes I will keep in my hangar. I tend to go through a lot of models/equipment. This one is a keeper 100%.
Good morning from Holland
Good morning from U.S.A.
Like I said, I'm not in to jets. But the Avanti Is one of the few jets I would like to have. nice flying plane, Very good looking and It won't break the bank.
IMHO this is the plane to get.
I'm jealous of your airfield , ours is only grass.
We're very fortunate--that's for sure.
Would a 4000mah pack give a decent flight time?
80c 6s
I get around 6m of flight time with 6s5k. So you could reasonable expect 80% of that time--somewhere around 5m.
Don't look like they are available. Does anyone know if the V2 fuselage will work with the V1 parts?
yes i have v1 wings on v2 fuselage with the upgraded fan esc flys fantastic you will have to buy the v2 front landing gear v1 is longer an wont fit unless u modify it
@@lyndonhubbard3255 I used all V1 parts except for the front doors on the V2 fuselage. Trimmed a touch out of the front opening for the wheel to go in.
Great video and plane. In your general opinion what is the best brand of planes Freewing or FMS. Some claiming the FMS are build better and lighter in general.
My 2 cents: I have flown the V1 for a long time, I don't see very impressive improvements in the new version; the landing gear is still weak for instance. There are a couple of Vipers from E-Flite and FMS (same build, just different colors') on our field and I'm more impressed with their quality. So I ordered one of those. Maidened one for a club member as well; went nice.
I think Freewing and FMS both have good planes. Generally speaking I think you'll find pros and cons to each. I generally steer clear of E-Flite.
Agreed: you can't even buy the E-Flite version in pnp; it's with receiver or no receiver and no power train. At least the FMS version gives you that choice. But I'm all for not sponsoring Horizon.. Too bad they buy all the brands.@@RCVideoReviews
@andrehilgersom1707 I agree. The only real improvement is the fan and esc in my opinion. I did the 12b fan upgrade in my v1 and am pretty happy with it.
Although sport jets, there's much different between the Viper 90mm and the Avanti V 1/2 80mm. I have 100s of hours with both. I prefer the Avanti anytime, anywhere...100% more docile and entertaining and faster.
Is your runway Geotextile US230 ?
It's Geotex something. I'm not sure what the spec is...
@@RCVideoReviews Thanks for the reply. We just put some down and we’re waiting for the wrinkles to go away.
They use this stuff at SES (my old field) and Larks (my new field). Pretty popular in Florida. Good luck with the new runway.
Nice! Too off at 4:00, landed at 8:00, ~4min flight time. I have this in V1 and my E-flight Viper 90mm, I go-to y Avanti more than the Viper every time. The Avanti is just more "entertaining" for my flying style.
You can't count video time as flight time as videos get cut (trying to remove segments when the plane isn't very visible or there is a lull in conversation). I usually get 5:30-7:00m on this plane depending on how I'm flying it. I have no other EDF that can stay in the air as long.
7 minutes? Gliding? Mine runs about 3.5 minutes using mostly half throttle with a 5000mAh pack.
Guess I have good batteries. Dunno what to tell you. Both the v1 and v2 have been the same. I do what I want with them and get 6m+ regularly.
Because he rarely flies full throttle. That's key. It's definitely not because he's using Liperior Batteries.
I don't think "rarely" is a fair assessment. I've been flying the Avanti v1 and v2 both with plenty of full power segments: Hammerheads, big air loops, cuban 8's, burner runs, knife edge, etc etc etc....all hammer down.
I still regularly get 6.5m per flight. So saying I "rarely fly full throttle" is just incorrect.
@@daysdesigns Yep. 80A/5A=16 60M/16=3.75M (3 minutes & 45 seconds) 3.75Mx.80=3.00M for a 20% safety margin and to not kill the battery. At 40A you would have 6.00 minutes of run time.
I run zeee 6s 6000mah 50c packs and get about 4min with lots of WOT passes and come down with 20 to 25% left. My spektrum 6s 5000mah 50c packs only give me about 3 mins of the same flying and come down at 14%.
