From the Field -- XFly 1233mm GlaStar Assembly & Flight Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- We have a bonus upload this week looking at the new XFly Models 1233mm GlaStar! This is a neat little model of a unique subject that makes for a good trainer. The finish is nice and smooth and the model assembles easily and quickly. In flight, the model fly's well and the 3s battery provides good power for basic aerobatics when carrying a touch of speed through the maneuvers. For extreme performance, one might need to consider a prop change or even bumping up to 4s, but that would require an ESC change. :) #TheRCGeek #GlaStar #NewProduct

Great video thanks Chris. It's really useful for beginners and even the more experienced flyers to see the in-screen transmitter shots too.
Thanks! I was trying something new there and I think I’ll do that more regularly on some of the reviews.
Great video!!! Love being able to see your stick movements!!!!!
Thanks!
Chris. Wow, it does actually rain there in Cali…haha. Glad to see Xfly looking out for the beginner too. That is a cute plane and pretty tough from what i seen. Hope more RC companies come on board that way catering to new folks entering the hobby. I know lot of newbies dream of starting out with a warbird or even an EDF and become a bit distraught when it don’t work out for obvious reasons.
Saying all that, look forward to seeing what’s next from Xfly. Look to be good quality from what I seen so far. 👍👍😎
I bought of these
They are fab sooooò easy to fly
And soooo much fun
Fantastic value
Even wet looks like a fun day at the field. 👍👍😎👊✌
Always is! 😊
Thanks Chris!
Even though I had to watch a Glo-up Girls commercial and something else I don’t understand😎
Hey brother , hope your having a great Summer !
As always the Videos are some of the very best on TH-cam . Everyone should subscribe , I have learned so much watch you.
✌👍👊
Thank you so much!
Great video Chris, the stick veiw is a plus. I like the white, almost bare, foam, it's opportunity knocking. I think Xfly is coming out with some great stuff at a great price. Have you seen their edf's?? AirHammer out??
Thanks man! Yeah, I’ve seen the edfs, not had a chance to play with any yet except for their 64mm t-7a
@@Thercgeek I'd like to build something with twin 50mm....
nice
You say it could use a different prop but do you mean more pitch,less pitch,bigger dia. or less dia. New to electrics so what prop would
you try for better performance?
I would say a little more pitch to start, same diameter.
Super. Where did you get the scale from to measure the throws? Thx
It’s a discontinued product unfortunately. I’m working on a design to bring to market, so will hopefully have that available soon.
I recently purchased one of these and they're a great plane. The ESC is rated for 2-4S batteries. Maybe with the extra voltage you wouldn't need more prop?
I was comparing this to the e-flite carbon z Cessna, which runs 4S, but only at 750kv, which puts you at the same prop RPMs as this plane with a 3S.
Yeah, I’m not sure the longevity of the motor, but might be worth a try. Sure would perk it up a bit.
With extra voltage, you normally use a *smaller* prop........
@@Brian-om2hh I guess that depends on the ESC/motor current rating, and what you're trying to do.
i saw some one at my field flew it with a 3s 4000mAh with a bit of a trim
Nice!
Yea man, I think I'm out of this Horizon Hobby stuff. I cant get parts for my turbo timber, not even a prop. Any ideas how to get a couple other than whittling one out of a block of wood?
I’d recommend looking for a comparable prop from apc instead of sticking with the eflite labeled prop.
@@Thercgeek need more people like you in the world. I thank you much for this. I'm just about done with the whole e flight gang. They should not sell what they can not service. Learn from the Automotive field I say. Bad customer support. Nice people but they do write back a little shout.
The problem is not exclusive to HH, buy a prop of a similar diameter and pitch, eg if the TT prop is a 12x4 try an apc or tgs 12x6 electric prop or if you have one in the spares box an 11x6.but get a power meter at the same time, check the motor spec and then CAREFULLY increase throttle, CHECKING METER AT 1/2. 3/4 AND FULL and ensure new prop does not exceed the max amp and watt rating of the motor or the esc SO THAT YOU DONT BLOW THE MOTOR OR ESC.. If it looks like it is about to do so then either reduce the throttle curve in your tx settings ( eg 0,25,50,100% DOWN TO 0,25,50 70,85%) and recheck power meter or reduce prop diameter by cutting a bit off the ends and rebalancing until you get under the motors max amp and watts limit . Have fun.
@@paulrkytek6587 yes I get amp draw and all that good stuff, probably cant tell I'm a controles engineer by my pic but heck yes sir. Sounds smashing and jolly good. Thanks for all the info, I will put it to good use.
just bought it..
Cool!
distributor is already sold out!
Oh wow! I wonder if they’ve not opened it up for pre-order yet?
This plane looks pretty cool but why do all these companies leave bare foam Instead of painting it white. I personally do not like the look of bare foam cells...
I agree
They look unfinished
I’m with you there, I wish it was painted also. It ultimately saves on the cost is my guess.
Big wheels are in this year, its becoming a bit of a drag !!!!.
Haha, right?! They definitely are draggy... 🤣🤣
@@Thercgeek It would be good to let some air out if possible to reduce bounce . Maybe you could try it before next flight
Needs flaps
Underpowered! Needs bigger motor/ esc!
Nah, just a 4s pack. 😁
