Great video thanks Chris. It's really useful for beginners and even the more experienced flyers to see the in-screen transmitter shots too.

I bought of these They are fab sooooò easy to fly And soooo much fun Fantastic value

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. 👍👍😎

Thanks Chris! Even though I had to watch a Glo-up Girls commercial and something else I don’t understand😎

Even wet looks like a fun day at the field. 👍👍😎👊✌

It’s a discontinued product unfortunately. I’m working on a design to bring to market, so will hopefully have that available soon.

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??

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?

@Thercgeek

I would say a little more pitch to start, same diameter.

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........

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.

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.
