    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

    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.

    • @RCVideoReviews

      The Hawk is definitely a good looking plane. I had that one, just didn't get the same flight time out of it.

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    I have no dog in this fight, I can only go by what I’ve flown. But I’ll go to my grave thinking the FMS Futura v3 is the overall best edf on the market at the moment. Probably can’t go wrong with either, but I feel like a Jehovah’s Witness for the Futura.

    • @RCVideoReviews

      I have both. I'd take the Avanti. Longer flight time and better in air characteristics. But there are options for a reason--everyone's going to have a POV.

    • @andrehilgersom1707
      @andrehilgersom1707 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @RCVideoReviews
      @RCVideoReviews  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @andrehilgersom1707
      @andrehilgersom1707 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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

      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.
