Can we have a controller cam so we can learn how to fly... Like a go pro?

FYI the HABU is a venomous snake endemic to to islands around Okinawa (and the Amami islands just south of where I live) Japan. Colouring is light olive or brown with yellow lines. We have mamushi (a variety of pit Viper) where I live. I've seen quite a few sunning on roads and concrete. walking paths... and loads dead from being run over while sunning.

I bought it the first day immediately after I got the email announcement and watched Horizon's video. This is exactly the plane I need to elevate my edf skills. I cant wait til it ships. You didnt show it, but it takes off and lands on grass really well too.

Yeah we have seen those Horizon videos and it does really well on grass! Also hand launches pretty well and belly lands! I've got a massive favor to ask of you! When you order a new RC, consider clicking one of our links to bring you to Horizons website even if we don't have a video on it yet. We will make a small, it worth it, kickback.

Some of us are pilots and student pilots and I can imagine someone who flys a jet and wants to learn rc doesn’t want to go back to their flight school days flying a trainer. Lol. Great option.

That should be back in kit form. I can't believe you saved that and kept flying and talking! Very impressive. I'd be bringing that bad boy back in asap! Lol

I have Habu STS and I got comfortable with it. Just ordered a new 6S ESC and Habu SS motor to upgrade it :)

Great video and really cool Habu! FYI: Mention to ONLY trim with SAFE off, in as windless condition as possible and make small level flight corrections via trim for best results. I try to always then mechanically retrim the plane after flying it so I can reset all the trims back to 0 on the radio.

Remember the Balsa Habu? Now thats a killer plane!

Looks like the wheels touched for half a second looking at it in slow mo, fun flight!

Awesome jet. Nice save. It moves that’s for sure.

The shadow of death 🔥💀🔥 😁 Yeah when you see the shadow of your plane not meaning to the death of your plane was very near lol Nice save Nate and nice landings I think the first landing was the runways fault it hoped but you greased it and the second one for sure 🔥👍✌️

That was as close as it gets to not having a crash. I think it was inches, not feet. Most people would have lost that. You stayed with it and saved it! Great piloting Nate! Like real pilots, you need to practice hitting that safe switch as soon as you say, OH No! It doesn't come naturally, you need to practice it over and over with all your planes that have Safe. As soon as you feel out of control, you need to instinctively hit the Safe switch. Don't try and save it unless you're really high. Safe can react much quicker than you can. I lost the a brand new F15 Eagle by not hitting the Safe switch. So what else has Abby band you from? lol

Can you guys do a review about the huina 1593 rc 22 channel RC excavator Because I think you guys doing awesome job doing videos

You need a full fpv EDF jet with head tracker etc all functioning. Run DJI air unit and Radio.....I'm wanting go build one with those specs

Which would you rather have this habu or the arrows marlin and why? And can the habu be hand launched?

Ahhh 😱 swear you swept the grass on the belly😅

Which one should i pick up, first time flying, never flown before, should pick up the RTF Habu or the SS Habu?

what is flight time and battery type and size. how much weight can it carry? i would like to put a forward camera that broadcast to goggles. have altimeter etc..

It doesn’t come any closer then that! Wow You said the Thunderbird and Blue Angel is harder to fly than this Habu. Is that because they have flaps and the Habu doesn’t? Can I use the same Spektrum Safe electronics I have in my RTF Habu in the Blue Angel or Thunderbird? Isn’t the RTF 4S Habu rated at 100mph? If so, how fast is this new 6S Habu?

Hey guys, I really like your videos and have giving you at times some tough criticism. Sorry.... Is it possible, you could share your settings on your transmitter? Just bought this plane as a trainer and had my first maiden this past weekend. I believe it still needs some tweaking. Its binded to an NX8. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for your videos!!!!

Hi

Hi, I wonder, if the SS version is really that much faster and powerful than the STS version, considering the 2400 Kv motor in SS vs 3200 Kv in STS, plus lower weight (4S battery vs 6S battery). Please, what is your experience / recommendation? Thanks.

5:43 lol same

Do they, Horizon, have the true Habu? In the USAF the SR-71 is called Habu too.

my first flight, nose gear fell off on take off on asphalt runway geez

I think the best beginner plane is the carbon cub it’s like $300 and it comes with everything. I don’t know if it comes with battery though.I’m thinking about getting one. Because my dad used to fly the old balsa wood planes

Usually let them rest for about fifteen minutes or more if I am patient enough between flights :-)

Give Abby her plane back before you turn it into styro-dust. Good saves. Enjoy watching you guys.

Coming from my wholesome EF T-28 1.2m w/70A ESC, I love this EF Habu 70mm. It's my 1st EDF after many flights with my Commander 1.4m mPd and my T-28. The Habu "sport trainer" is my steppingstone to the big guy - Viper 90mm! 🙁 The Habu 70mm is like a my poor man's 90, but for some reason it's more appealing to me than the Viper 70mm.

Abby could fly this just as easily on 6s as she can on 4S. The only thing different is you don't have to use as much throttle And the plane itself would probably be slightly heavier due to the battery size. Full confidence in Abby flying This without a problem.

Like the previous version, would this also be good for a beginner or would the previous model be better?

@TheRcSaylors

How can I help?

This plane should have been a Viper with a thicker wing. DO NOT buy a Viper as your first jet. It lands way too fast, is not very stable, must be flown with a gyro, hard to see, and is fragile. Because Horizon touted the Viper as a good first SPORT jet lead people to think it makes a good first jet. Not so, at least in my opinion. Now the the Habu STS is a different story. For beginners, it’s perfect. A great confidence builder because it’s stable, difficult to stall, great glide slope, lands great with zero power, and is rugged. I recommend using a four cell for a little more speed. I’m sure the SS flys just as well. Flaps not needed but retracts would have been nice. Just my two cents.
