Love your channel, I am one of the guys that bought an edf as a first plane lol. I learned pretty quick, luckily the airframe has held up… now am ripping rolls and loops. Thanks for your hand launching advice

Great instructional video Jon. No one should ever stop trying learn, because there's always something you may not know. Haha, the trick would be to never forget it. AirHammer out!!

Love these series!!! Can't wait!

My landing tips. Control direction the plane's with rudder, keep wings level with ailerons, proper pitch and airspeed with elevator and decent with throttle. It's a lot to manage at first but with practice it's doable ... most of the time. When I was first starting out I would make approaches and change only one of those variables at a time for a mock landing attempt and see how a plane would react.

Ill say this, the whole dont land without throttle thing was made by people who never flew a Habu lol. That sucker floats so long that if im about 2 mistakes high i can cut my throttle entirely and glide in from about halfway through the pattern. Some planes like it more than others, but its more the pilot than the airframe. Thank you for making these videos i’ve learned quite a bit from them since i started flying again.

This is the Best instructional video on how not to turn an EDF foamy into a pile of trash I've ever watched- big fan of twobros but this takes the cake - been rc flying for 30 years and still have a lot to learn.TY!

I don't like landing on SAFE mode, but, it has saved me from bad stalls before. Except for that one time I didn't react to hit the switch and corkscrewed the Viper 70 into a lake 😅

Thank you for all of your tips, setups and tricks. Flying jets is a love/hate relationship for me. Just when I think I finally get the hang of landing them, I’ll either stall or bounce the viper 90/70. Very frustrating. I also have the F-16 80mm and I only flew it around 7 times because I’m terrified of it. Haha. I’m going to get an 8 channel receiver so I can do your setup and get the most out of it. Thanks again for all your videos. Cheers.

This video covers crow (butterfly) landings and normal flap landings: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWFsqLqnpNTcaJc.html We personally recommend the crow setup for turbulent landings, but not all aircraft make it easy to set up, nor do all modelers have the budget for a radio/receiver combination to do it.

@@TwoBrosRC Great! Thank you. Made me realize I had watched that video already when you posted it, but it was wonderful to go and watch it again.

I have practiced and practiced landing jets on RealFlight. That said, all my 64mm jets bounce a little, but my 6S 70mm Yak-130 has shocks, so it just greases the runway.

What a great video does this technique good for tail draggers war bird type planes?

@TwoBrosRC

11 ай бұрын

Taildraggers require a more specialized landing and takeoff approach which we've covered before: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWatxrGzicbRXaQ.html

Every plane, every landing is different as every condition is ever changing. Hit all your marks in pattern and you are good. I would t recommend power off landings, it really doesn’t transfer to turbine A/C. Heavier, etc. how many times does a scale plane or airliner do a power off approach.

@TwoBrosRC

11 ай бұрын

Turbines are another story entirely - we're definitely not covering those here.

Good advice but as all advice application is the evidence of learning what is taught. No matter how good the pilot is we are all subject to wind/ turbulence. Look forward to your next landing lesson on heavy jets.

@TwoBrosRC

Hence the short guide on wind and turbulence toward the end. :)

What flap settings do you use for the FMS Viper?

@TwoBrosRC

11 ай бұрын

Just minimal settings, as little as possible to be frank. The more flap used on that jet, the more it bounces on landing.

Something I've noticed at my field is that a lot of people are scared to get too low and end up diving into their landings. While technically this can work (and I have landed planes from a vertical dive) it tends to leave them struggling to bleed off the extra speed and prevent their plane from ballooning back up into the air. My preferred approach is to get as low as I can with the goal of crossing the front edge of the runway a foot or less above the ground so I can cut the throttle and let the plane drop back onto its mains in about ten to twenty feet. I practiced this approach with an overweight Freewing F-8 more times than I can count and it's really helped my landings. Optimal speed for this depends a lot on the plane's stall speed unless you can harrier the plane for long distances.

@TwoBrosRC

11 ай бұрын

It all depends on the jet and how you want to approach with it. Dive approaches can work if you've set the plane up for maximum drag. Your approach works if you're looking for precision and scale appearance while landing.

@brendanshroyer7696

@@TwoBrosRC I think the biggest benefit for me of landing low and long has been the amount of power I can carry through the turn to final. I can keep plenty of airspeed through the turn by keeping the fan at 25-50% power and by the time I reach the runway my flaps have bled off enough energy that the plane just settles onto the ground as soon as I turn the fan off. I really make use of the entire length of my airfield though because the extra energy takes a while to bleed off fully.

i watched an earlier video you did with using cro for landing. doesnt this make it exponentially easier to land? i noticed you did not mention anything about that in this video but it seems thats the primary way you were landing in this video.

@TwoBrosRC

Ай бұрын

That only tends to work with larger jets or ones with bigger control surfaces than the Viper 70, unfortunately.

All of my Viper 90 crashes have been caused by a bounce. The plane tends to bounce even if I landed smoothly, sometimes due the battery being too far forward, others from bumps in the runway. Are you saying a lower air speed helps with the bounce?

@TwoBrosRC

11 ай бұрын

Lower touchdown speed reduces the chances of bouncing. Bouncing usually happens because the aircraft is still flying while the wheels are rolling.
