FLIGHT REVIEW -- VQ Warbirds Bonanza Vtail 62" Wingspan ARF (The RC Geek)

Ойын-сауық

Here is my full flight review for the VQ Warbirds Bonanza Vtail 62" wingspan ARF. It took a few flights to dial in, and once done it's a great flying airplane! The power system is perfect for it as the airplane is fast and locks in extremely true. It maneuvers beautifully and provides a great sport flyer for everyday flight ops as it performs high performance aerobatics wonderfully. There are a couple things to note, first of all, I found the recommended CG a bit aft for my liking. Also, the airplane wants to carry a slight amount of down elevator for trim and also tends to climb a bit at full throttle, so I programmed in a small throttle to down elevator mix to concur that. Once sorted, I love it! The vtail really looks awesome in the air and doesn't really feel any different than a standard tail configuration.

    As a full scale V tail owner, I’ll say I’m very impressed. The plane and your piloting ability. I’d crash it in 3 seconds but I still want one to hang from the hangar ceiling!

    Beautiful plane and set up! I love the way it flew on the 52 motor seems pretty hot and very nice. The Robard retracts are very quiet, that was nice. I thought that sometimes the motor/prop whistled quite a bit at full throttle, maybe normal, maybe the sound/video. Thanks a bunch Chris for all the work and sharing on your channel, your the best!

    Please send me a link of how you did a separate nose gear steering setup. If you add a y connector to rudder. It is crazy as a VTAIL it couples to elevator. thanks.

    It looks like this is now out of stock wherever I look. I'd love to have a V-tail Bonanza model of any reasonable size that I could paint to resemble the 1956 full-scale that I'd flown for some 12 years. Any recommendations?

    You obviously have a "need for speed", thus the need for down elevator trim and throttle elevator mix. At scale-appearing speed, model might not need down elevator trim, etc. You can always hold some down elevator for high speed passes.

    Sure and that’s what I was doing before adding the mix, but adding the slight down elevator mix helps reduce the workload. It’s pretty noticeable through the whole throttle range.
