Would you recommend the Valiant or the Parkzone Sport Cub as a second plane flying off of grass?

Truth Still Matters (From the Heart of a Catholic) valiant if your unsure, it has SAFE which will help you in a bind. Also plenty of reviewers elsewhere on KZread are flying on regular grass as well as many other surfaces.

www.horizonhobby.com/product/airplanes/park-flyers/airplane-new-releases/carbon-cub-s-13m-rtf-p-hbz3200 the HH guys had this one at the event. Looks sweet! But the PZ Sport Cub is a good flying plane as well and is great from a keep it super simple pov.

I started flying RC on Kadet Jr with 25 size Oss glowmotor. Aeroplane has balsa construction and you had to put monocote on it's surface. It was 3 channel aeroplane, rudder, elevator, engine throttle but I modifed it by adding channel to move wing surfaces. It used those old 9g servos. I think beginner series should include: - Tow to build balsa planes. - Monocoating. - Trimming the aroplane. - How to ajust engine. - How to start engine / break in new engine. - How to balance aeroplane. - How to be carefull with nitro fuel (methanol) -

Longtime subscriber here.... A beginner gas series would be great. I have flown heli's and now quads/camera platforms for quite a while and I am just getting into fixed wings. I have a couple of electrics I am building but my long-term goal is a gas powered model, possibly a warbird. My local clubs' members praise the economy and sound of the gas engined models. Glow is a great way to fly also and has proven itself over time, but the residue of the flow fuel and cost was the reason I quit glow powered heli's back in the 90's. Glad to see gas and electrics have made such a positive impact on the hobby over the years. A beginners series covering all things gas on mulitple models would be appreciated! Keep up the great work! :)

Would love to see the videos of 30cc ultra stick and the 30cc valiant.

Flite Test will never get old! Keep it up guys.

Great video guys. I had this plane for 6 months and loved it. I was flying it in Spokane Washington, and in Safe mode with full flaps it locked up, and turned sharply right into a 300 foot tree top. I'm still sad! Thanks for the great video!

Love these reviews and episodes! Of course we all miss josh but you guys are doing very well!

Jonesy Films what happened to josh

Beginners Series on glow engines, hell yes please!! I'd love to see info on: * The differences in installs from electric - fuel tank, electrical power, props etc * Tuning the engine * Needed accessories like glow igniters, flight boxes, control panels, starters etc * What the different types of fuel are and their mixtures * How to fly your glow plane at the field - refuelling, what are glow pilots checking for when gripping the tail with their legs and powering to full throttle?, how to avoid dead sticks, differences in flight characteristics between similar models (WOT4 electric vs WOT4 glow for example, as they're both the exact same balsa air-frame) * How to clean after flights and how to store aircraft I'm sure you guys have a load of great ideas already, I can't wait to watch. More ideas for series maybe EDF jets, building with balsa, aerobatics, maybe intermediate/advanced series too? Keep up the amazing work guys!

Its weird hearing the classic FT music again after a while. I miss it!

I loved flying my home built Sig Senior converted to a tail dragger by stretching the nose while it was built. Had a SuperTigre .40 engine that ran really nice. Loved the sound and experience of the glow days but very much like the quick, no mess and low support gear to drag to the field. Love you guys and would like to see some reviews of gas or glow along with the electrics!

I've actually been thinking about trying gas/glow planes but feel I lack alot of knowledge so in case you ever read this my suggestions for some topics for episodes would be: *How to set up a brand new plane with all the tubes, wires, battery, external BEC to get it working and what to move to get the CG correct (is the tank directly on the CG so there's no impact when it depletes?) *How to set up a brand new engine so it runs perfectly *How to determine engine size for a particular airplane *How to choose the correct prop size depending on engine and wanted behaviour in flight *Typical problems with the engines, how to spot them and how to fix them. *Setting up a good field box and what should be in it. Don't know if it's called that in english but you know, the kit with the starter, fuel, pump and so on :) *Perhaps an episode where you collect mistakes people familiar with gas/glow have made so we can learn from them, kind of a "Do's and don'ts". Well that's what I could come up with from the top of my head. Hope it helps and thanks for helping me get into rc flight in the first place :D

Always great to see you, Josh. You’re a good Dude. Thanks for everything you do to take the fun to people.

YES, Please do a gas series. great content as always!

Love the glow!!!! :-) we all grew up from control line .15's onto the balsa trainers of .15/.25 old-school os max engines and thunder tigers. 34 years later I'm all race drones and the like , lol how times change! :-) :-) nice plane and as always a fun review :-) :-)

I Love my valiant ! Great plane. Great video keep up the fantastic work !

Great Video, thanks for sharing! Great drone work!!

Met you guys at flite fest south t was a great experience hope you comeback next year

I really miss flying my long gone Horizon Ultra Stick .60 with a Saito .82 4 stroke. The quad flap / spoiler rons made that airplane a true blast to fly. I miss coming in with almost vertical dive with spoilers up and full flaps, and the airplane just slowed to an almost crawl in the descent; bring to level attitude and lower spoilers and had an easily landing bird. A beginner gas/ 4 stroke series would be fun to watch ....an might even get the old juices flowing from us old timers!!!!!

Covering beginner gas planes and making that transition on this channel is a wonderful idea! I would love to see you guys review the Great Planes- Avistar Elite, It's considered an advanced trainer but it's what I was originally taught on many years ago. It was easy to learn with and mine is still flying to this day.

I have the 1.3 and the 10cc , two of the nicest flying planes to come along in years !

got one can't wait to Saturday love the Eflite Commander

You guys are the best! Thanks for all you do! (=

Gas beginner series sounds awesome!! Maybe even a gas powerpod style thing!

the knife edge techniquw that you were talking about was reffered to me when learning as "The ins and outs of ur sticks"

Yes, please do a gas beginner series! There is very little information out there about this. I don't really know what you would need to cover, since I don't know what really goes into it. I would imagine it's mostly the engine and fuel system.

The Valiant looks really nice. I’m considering getting one.

I have a Magnatlla and Puppetier with 4 stroke glow, and a Jive with a 2 stroke. Love them.

Really looking forward to the gasser series now, fly a couple of glow planes myself!

yes please do a beginner gas series!

Great plane, I have two of them, the first one, I lost it in a high grass, because the plastic thing that holds the landing gear and the battery, detached from the plane, and of course, I lost control. Then I bought a second one, because I thought it was worth it, and after three weeks of searching, we found it, I think the Valiant us a lot of fun. Thanks for your video.

Gotta love the Valiant. It makes a pretty spiffy trainer as well. Been flying one all summer and I love mine. As to the wheels, a full flap takeoff can work in longer grass, just give it full throttle and flaps, yank it up then immediately dump the nose to get it flying. Or get a set of Timber wheels and the timber axles (in the LG set) and they bolt on. And last but not least, don't forget the new 10cc version. gas, glow or 4S/5S electric and not a monster like the 2.7m span 30cc Valiant.

I would love to see a beginner gas series! That's my next step for sure after all my bnf's would love to see horizon come out with one

Heard lots of good about the Valiant, thanks for the review. I like blue too lol.

Love your suggestion a training transition from electric to the larger fuel version. I'm an intermediate flyer, and loved the way this plane flew. Needed to have one. Just purchased and love. it. Would love to move up to a gas version . Great plane.

Yes! Beginner gas planes is great idea. Would like to see a Sig T-Clip 70 gaser. I have it in electric.

Please do a gas plane guide that would be awesome

Like the looks of this plane a lot. I recently started getting back into the balsa built sailplanes but would love to see you guys do more with the nitro and gas models. Takes me back to my old Eagle 2 with a K&B .45 on it.

I started the hobby because of this channel but I kept hoping you guys would cover balsa building and stuff like that. I'm still sort of waiting on it. I've gone from an Apprentice, to a Kadet Mk II, a Kaos 60, a 60 sized Pietenpol, Top Flite P-47 and Sig Four Star 40. Foam is awesome, but I really feel that a series on balsa/gas is long past due.

Heck yeah! That would be great to see an intro to gas.

You guys are the BEST!!!!

Yes yes! That would be awesome! I fly both. You should do an episode on tuning for Nitro engines and the difference between glow plugs and the fuel they run on

Please do more on gasoline and glow. Electric is great. I always take an electric so I know for sure I will be flying. Gasoline is just so much fun and satisfies my gearhead leanings.

Love the video! Definitely would like a beginner series on gas and glow. Currently fly electric and glow and would appreciate a comparison between gas and glow, especially in terms of performance and operation. Cheers!

Please do a gas/glow beginner series. I'm addicted to electric flight, but I see all these beautiful gas planes for sale third party in my area for a very good price, and I hate to pass them up because I'm afraid to get into it.

They definitily should do a beginner glow/gas series.. but if they do i hope they introduce also the misery that it is.. nasty, smelly, dirty , oil everywhere, smoke, noise, and motors that worked perfectly yesterday, today wont start and tomorrow will for no reason.. (noise, smell and smoke are not an issue in the field..but you must break-in and run new motors before installing in the plane and thats a process that takes time and some can only do it at home, wich is where the noise/smell/smoke problems comes on) and thats what i see in our field.. Dont get me wrong..im not hating gas/glow and im not trying to shit on it or scare people away.. but its a way more complex part of the hobby than many electric folks think

Great video, seems an awesome and inexpensive plane that will do it all, I may just pick one of these up! I would love to see you guys review traditional glow .40 and .60 size planes (phoenix, seagull, sig, etc). These seem to be harder to find lately (due to the convenience, size, and popularity of ready built electric models) and I think a lot of folks would benefit from learning about traditional balsa planes.

Where is the transmitter settings link you mention in the video?

Great Video on the Valiant.....I'm going to have to buy one. It reminds me of the first RC plane I bought to learn to fly. It was the RCM Basic Trainer. A three channel taildragger and a .19 cc engine. I would love to see a beginner or regular series on "gas models". The one I am most partial to is the .29 -.40 cc Ugly Stik. I still think it is the best four channel stunt plane ever designed and flown. I missed out on the purchase of a the HobbyKing version with the fake gas engine. My biggest regret. BTW....you young men got this 70+ old guy interested in RC Airplanes again. I started again when your flite test videos first hit KZread....Thank you.

YES YES Please do a gas/glow beginner series.

Thanks for this review much appreciated. A gassers 101 would be great just to learn what is involved before making the jump.

Gas planes beginner series YES PLEASE... excellent idea. I started with electric and have since fallen in love with glow and gas.

Brilliant vid guys, I wonder if Santa might bring me one of those?

Hello, where is the tune video for the valiant?

Would love to see a beginner series on Gas engine aircraft. What a great idea

Yeah definitely start a gas/glow beginner series!

Would love to see you do episodes on gas planes. Love my Escapade 30cc but every once in awhile still gotta throw the FT Storch around too!

Sure beginner gas and glow would be great. I'm just getting into them myself. I got a Starfire 40 with a k@b 60, also an old Sig Citabria with a Super Tigre 60, both at auction $40 a piece last year, went through them and got them flying this season. It was alot of new stuff to learn coming from electrics and never having flown nitro before.

Would you recommend the Valiant or the T28 basic for a second plane?

Where is the video on programming the radio for the Valiant?

Its a foam Telemaster taildragger ! Awesome video, thank you !

Spelling error in URL - Chase quad vs CaseQuad. Love this channel.

In your video, you say that you will provide a link below to show how you did the setup on this plane. I do not see the link.

Yes! Please do a beginners series for gas engines

Yup, I would watch if you guys got into glow and gas and balsa and lite ply! But I really like the foam board! That is what got me back into the hobby, so never give that up:)

I just picked up one of these bad boys and I appreciate your video on it. Did you ever make a clip on how to set up everything like stated in the video? I don't see a link in the description. Thanks!

Def do the gas beginners series!

Random question. How easy is it to add telemetry on this plane? I honestly just want to know how much battery by looking at it on my controller. I know spektrum has a receiver for telemetry but it's like 80 bucks. Anyway around this? Thanks so much.

Gas/Nitro episodes would be great! Some of my favorites include: Slow Flier: Great Planes Slow Poke and the Lazy Bee Sport Aerobatic: Super Stick and Sig Four Star Trainer: Sig Kadet FT electric power pod foam board versions of these models would be fantastic!

E Flite Valiant or timber as first plane after using sim for good while wot would you guys recommend please

it looks sweet!

Cool looking planes guys 👍✈️😊

Ironically I have neither gas engines nor will be able to attend gas until much later, but I’d really like to learn about it through Flite Test’s production style cause I know it will be informative, entertaining, amd easy to follow.

Yes! Do a series on gas/glow! I fly 50% glow/ep and would love to see more fixed wing gp stuff.

Hey guys. Thanks for the videos!! I am about to build the FT P51 mustang with flaps and I'm not sure I like the idea of flicking a switch and the flaps moving quickly into position. Is there a way to make transition slowly??

Yes please do a beginner series for glo or gas airplanes.

yes on the gas beginner series please!

I'm starting my grandson, and myself on electric. We just scratch built a FT Explorer, But I was raised on gas, Started back in the day running Cox 049s on control line. Here lately I've been given several gas planes from older guys getting out of the hobby.. I have a 40 size, a couple of 60 size, and even a 2 stroke gasoline plane in pieces..Would love to see some 40 to 60 size scratch built stuff to use these engines on...

Beautiful and yes I would love a petrol powered series guys, that would be like returning to my youth building 0.49 to OS balsa scale controle line and RC creations👍👍

I would love to start gas but dont know how to tune . You guys helped me with fpv so lets give gas a go !

I'd love to see you guys do a gas series, I grew up flying them with my dad still have his Kraft Radio and a Saito FA-65 four stroke engine I plan on building a plan for someday.

Yes do a series on gas planes

I would love to see the beginner series on gas planes :)

Great looking plane and the price is nice too.

Pitch together or Pitch apart on sticks. I never knew that.Thanks for that tip.

Would love to see some gassers! Never a huge fan of glow engines but small gas engines... awesome.

Hey FliteTest! How do you guys like this compared to the Apprentice?

I have an old gas Avistar from Hobbico that I've never set up because I don't know the first thing about gas R/C planes. I'd love to see a beginner series on those.

Yes, do something with gassers. Glow was too finicky(at the time). If we could get a gas engine the same size as a Cox .049 that would just about be perfect. I love to build a control line plane with one of those engines and show you guys how it's done.

Josh mentioned that there would be a link to information on setting up the Valiant below this video. I can’t find it, does it exist?

Great video, if possible please do one on the E-flite Cirrus. Thanks

i bought a cirrus- not a bad looker, the lights are great, the wing connectors are a awesome setup(and it fits in the trunk of my mustang with flight box and all) but the valiant flies a lot better as far as aerobatics...both slow down great with the flaps, just the cirrus borders on boring to fly in my opinion- the valiant really is a sweet flying plane, fast/slow, everything in between, zero bad habits...

Looks kind of light I want to how it works with floats?

A lot of the merch on your guys' store is out of stock! I'd love to get the zip up hoodie, a cap, the sunglasses, and the lanyard but everything's out of stock except the lanyard. Any idea when you'll get some of these things back in stock? Was going to treat myself to a birthday present :p

Heyyyyyyyyyyy!

I love that plane too. I do have a frustrating problem that doesn't seem isolated because I've replaces the fuselage at least 4 times now. The glue holding the motor bracket to the foam is either to weak or not enough has been applied because the entire part pulls out of the plane in flight. HH has been good and sent me a replacement but I'd like to see better quality control.

I don't understand how you don't have a high subscriber and view count. You have a quality channel and quality videos.

Id love to see some stuff on glow planes, amd how to get started in them

I’d like to see gas beginner series. Has always interested me but it seems intimidating to start.

If you do a beginner gas series please include gas engine tuning as well as maintenance.

I think it'd be cool to see a beginner gas plane series. That's what I started on.

More up close videos on gas, like a beginner's series, would be great. Especially since gas is often very intimidating, although it really shouldn't as long as you act safe and smart.
