So good! My dad had a rc-shop for 25 years so i grew up with it. Since i kinda lost touch of the hobby, you guys made me go back to it. Got myself a turbo timber and started bush flying it myself. The old man was with me this week and now we’re flying together again. Keep up the great work guys! Thats the spirit that keeps the hobby fun!

As just an idea. What if you made an airplane that lands like on a aircraft carrier and you can add a string to stop it. Idk I’ve always wanted see someone do it

I actually did sometjing similar with my Radian. I have a large property, but the radia justfloats forever, so I cant get it down in my field withlut hitting the fence. I put a rope between 2 posts, and a wire dangling down from the plane. Worked ok, however the rope was too high, so it was harder to get it to stick. Was quite fun though.

You said give you some bush flying ideas so here is one. I’m sure from all the planes you’ve flown over the years you have a decent amount of electronics. Make you’re own bush plane flight test style using everything you’ve learned from all these planes. Maybe you will end up with a nice flyer? Keep up the good vids and see ya next upload!

I love to see when you guys turn other normal plane to bush planes and flying them in small spaces. Maybe you could turn a corsair or something to a bush plane. It is so cool when you guys mod other planes. Love the videos!!

Nice and funny video boys. Wish l could have that scills. Love the videos you make. And they trigger you to try every thing . Merry xmas to all of you . From a carpenter in north of europe.

Very nice fellas! That gear is TALL! My fav was the actual BUSH...er...tree landing!

@Speederaser84

Жыл бұрын

We add extra height to the gear since our carbon fiber isnt super stiff. It actually flexes out to absorb impacts instead of sending it straight to the air frame like all other CF gear does. Since ours flexes and returns, we add height to avoid any issues with prop strikes during that flex/squat. The big bush tires adds to the height here though haha!

A good Bush fly idea is i think to test the new funcub nd and then compare it to the old one

The RV-8 planes is sweet in real life and in RC form and the carbon fiber gear is super cool in itself. I’ve never seen somebody bush fly an RC plane before but I always had the idea in mind mind, was just always too scared of breaking my only plane to try it, but you guys might have pushed me over the edge into finding a place to try it somewhere

The RV-8 uses a 6s set up so putting on a larger prop would lead to high temp issues. The great thing about the 6s set up is out of the box it gives a true 2:1 insane punch out with cool temps...in other words, I never even considered needing to replace the prop for performance or temp reasons. -Zach
