Yeah I said it1 The E-Flite Valiant 1.3m IS the best 2nd rc plane you can own!

Thanks for your advice I got one, just flew it 3 times so far and it's great

It is scary how perfectly your channel matches my world. I finally got the courage to fly with flight assists off with my Carbon cub 2s and quickly went from wanting nothing more than long extended floaty flights (like a turkey vulture) to wanting the option to try new stuff knowing I can throw the safe switch if / when I get in over my head! (First rolls and loops this past week). I was hoping Horizon might have this one on a Memorial Day special though.. Also, I love those suggested updates (lights and tires).

Yes the Valiant is by far the best second plane!!!

Older video but I'm looking at this plane for my next and I like how you say you like doing touch and goes, me too! Thank you for an informative entertaining video!

It is!

I (re)learned to fly on a valiant. Re-learned mild 3d on it. I bought another valiant my LHS had. Swapped esc to a 60a avian, running 4s/2200 in it STOCK now, using an apc 11x5.5 propeller. It's fast, aerobatic, & is perfect on grass! YANKED THE 631 RX, using a normal AR620. Maxed throws. It came STOCK with a BL15 980kv motor.

Well I am planning on an upgrade to mine. And I have a spare 60 avian ESC. Thanks for sharing that the motor can handle it.

​@Fat Guy Flies RC Motor (bl10, bl15) can handle up to 6s. 4s is plenty in a valiant. As an upgrade, I run the 880kv BL15 in my timber x (green) 60a avian, 4s. It's merely 4mm bigger than stock motor (bl10) in all the timber line.

I agree 💯 Horizon Hobby should make this 4s and install lights !! I couldn't count the flights I have on my first Valiant. I upgraded the ESC and had a blast on 4s. Was used when I got it. It's now retired. I have a NIB. For future flights if I decide too. . I Highly recommend you check out the Flying Tigers RC Transmitter Tray.

True but I would not want to push it beyond a 4s lipo.

Don't forget the top loader on the 4s v2. Rc hackers makes those short fat batteries, I think there drone batteries but there good. Trusted site.

4s 2200 packs fit perfectly! & can have 7 minute flights🤷‍♂️.

Yes please... a Valiant V2! Why don't you paint and mod your Valiant? Might turn out to be an inspiration for E-flite and HH. Besides, I bet a bunch of viewers besides me would like to see your improved Valiant.

All it needs is an avian esc (stock 30a eflite esc) & swap the propeller.

how does compare to the flying characteristics of the Turbo Timber Evolution?

Actually very comparable on 6s , now that I have also flown her on 4s she is much slower.

@@FatGuyFliesRC I’m guessing you mean 3s instead of 6s?
