If you are having difficulty telling them apart, the v2 has v2 written on it and the v3 has v3 written on it, lol. Nice video capt.

Haven’t checked on this channel for a while. Glad you’re still droning

nice one Steve, V3 looks great and very powerful, I went out flying yesterday three of us at our field, and one hour later yep bucketed down great review again Captain.

Gorgeous plane, great demonstration, thanks for another entertaining and informative video.

Holy Crap Captain !!! thank goodness you had to return to refit the Camera as there were the "flock" (well....6 birds flying over!!!) ; would love to have this RC however would have to enroll in a NASA flight program to work it out !!

Fun video ! 😃 We flew balsa in the 70’s through the 90’s. We flew in the mornings or late in the afternoons in calmer wind. We always faced north to avoid being blinded by the sun. We smelled like castor oil and Off bug spray. But , I am impressed by how the hobby continues to change for the better. Great review on a cool plane Cap !! 😎

Still the best Pilot and content creator! Reviews always spot on. Thanks Cap!

Hi Steve a absolutely beautiful Jet and absolutely love your channel if possible if you can find it a review on a Canadian force’s Snowbirds CT 114 Tutor Jet would be fantastic as this Jet is near and dear to my heart I flew one when I was in the RCAF thank you again Steve ❤Sincerely Captain Richard

I have not seen any mass produced RC Tutor jets in FOAM format.

Nice 👍 I think gyros are good for the hobby

I got it now I forgot to plug in elevator and rudder when installing the back half of the fuselage. All good now my friend but the weather in Cape Breton is terrible so I can’t fly anyway. Lol 😂

dang! two videos in almost one day?

To what pin on the 8 channel receiver did you connect the SBUS/PPM/MODE cable? The instructions show a 6 channel receiver and it going to #6.

@CAPTAINDRONE798

Ай бұрын

This plane has 7 channels. The normal 6 channels including flaps, then one more channel for reverse thrust, which means I placed the REFLEX select on channel 8 of my receiver.

Hi Steve it's a question about the v3 reflex can the servo,s be reversed and or the gyro direction ? In the settings I,m no going to use it in a fms plane I want to use it in a volantex G2 , you explain things very well in your video 👍

@CAPTAINDRONE798

You’ll know if it is working correctly with your reversed servos by simply holding the plane in the air and pitching it forward, backwards, rolling it left, right, and watching to see that each time you do this, the servos automatically move to compensate and pull the plane back level.

Nice video and review, Can I use my TX16S to fly fixed wing? Is it easy to setup?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

Yes.

How does it handle trims ? For example if you use the stabilize mode on a maiden to get to a safe altitude then switch to manual mode to trim the plane can you then transfer those trim settings to the Reflex after landing ?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

2 ай бұрын

If you trim out any plane that has a gyro, the plane will fly pretty much the same. You see, the reason you trim a plane is because, say it is slightly banking to the left, so when you fly it you compensate by pulling left to fly straight. A gyro automatically does that for you. So, when you trim, you are trimming for yourself so when joysticks are centered the plane flies straight and level. A gyro does this for you regardless of trim.

I would like to see you setup a non-FMS model with the Reflex V3. Is there a recommended start position for the gains?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

I leave everything on auto and just pick an FMS MODEL that is similar to the non-FMS model I’m placing it in.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 That strategy would also work with the version 2. FMS seems to be pitching working with non FMS models an advantage of reflex version 3.

How does this compare to the Eagle A3 Super 4 Airplane Gyro? I know the Eagle has a "stunt" mode and "hover" mode to help with 3D training. Can the Reflex V3 do that as well?

@txkflier

The A3 Super 4 is much better..

So when you hand launch with reflex 3, you turn on stability mode? And land with stability mode too ? Thx... ❤❤ Does stability limit the control of the stick ?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

20 күн бұрын

With stability on, you can’t roll or flip the plane. You do have to move the joysticks a bit further than usual when turning.

If I have a freewing F16 70mm, can I use reflex v3 and choose the FMS F16 model set up for my Freewing F16 70mm. Or use FMS Bae hawk 80mm set up for my Freewing Hawk 70mm? Thanks

@CAPTAINDRONE798

Yes, no problem. Just make certain you place the REFLEX V3 in the position shown for the plane and in the orientation shown.

Does it support a s-bus or better still CRSF input from the receiver ?

@spitfire7617

I should have first checked the manual - it does support s-bus/ppm input

I got the pa-18 1300mm with the reflex v3 and the ailerons and throttle won’t bind up everything else works.

Sounds like it is connected wrong or servos are amiss.

Can you reverse the servo direction? The V2 can not do that

A $37 gyro can save a few hundred dollar plane. Am I right?
