Check out the rc plane here: bit.ly/3hITHja This glider rc plane is massive with a wingspan of 2000mm, roughly 6.5 feet long. After our last video, it hit out of stock status, so it definitely is in high demand! Well it's back in stock now, so we thought we would let you guys know and fly it for you a second time! This has got to be one of the biggest wingspans we have ever had on our channel. It towers over Nate. This powerful rc plane boasts a powerful 3136-kv1000 brushless motor with a 10-15 minute flight time. We are very impressed for our first maiden flight.

Nate, you only use flaps once you fund a thermal and is circling it. And at 4:26 is one thing to look out for, a bird used to thermaling. If it starts flying in circles without moving its wings you better get close and ride the elevator. The cloud at 5:05 tells me that there's a thermal right there, get below it and find the lift.

I bought mine after the last review, and just love it. When I built it I had one aileron servo that was bad and Hobbyzone immediately sent me a new one. I had metal gear so I just put one in, but it was great customer service. This plane flies wonderfully on tiny 1300 3S batteries, and you can get hour or longer flights. I bring out a lawn chair and sit and fly with the eagles and hawks. This is a great all purpose motor glider, and for the price its a real bargain.

Nate, great job. I know I love mine. How have you set yours up? Some of my subs have been mentioning going 8 channel with the glider, but I have now idea how to even begin with that. It flies great as a five channel though. Thanks!

@TheRcSaylors

Glad you like yours brother! Good old five channel, very basic set up. No rates. No expo. Just straight bind and fly, and assign flaps to my favorite channel :-) Some people probably want to see you ad the "crow" effect with the ailerons and flaps together. Works well to slow the plane down very quickly, but it's more novelty than every day use. I'm very content with flying my SZD-54 with my current set up and hope to have and fly it for years to come. No planes to heavily modify it, if at all, and definitely won't be selling this plane for the sake of making room for another. Happy Flying RCPA!!

Nav lights would be nice so it could be flown dusk and dawn and not loose orientation. I realize though that just about any feature you add to the plane would add to the cost. Ps.

Thanks for tuning in Craig! So, most RC planes don't include radios. The main reason for this is to keep cost down for those of us that own more than one airplane. And honestly most people that fly one RC plane tend to own more than one. It is usually wise to make your first plane a RTF one, which is one that includes a radio! This is the easier route, and a good way to see if you enjoy the hobby. If you do, it is advised to buy a universal radio and save about $40-$50 or more on each future airplane purchase! Hooe this helps. Happy Flying! 👍😁😎⚓

Craig, this plane is super cheap, compared to many other gliders of this size. Unfortunately, the hinges on the flight surfaces are pretty weak, but over all it is a great plane.

Still trying to glide with full flaps... They are like powerful air brakes, no wonder it sinks like a brick. When you review a model, make sure you know what you are doing and fly it like it is meant to? 😊

Taranis is good yes, but has an awful UI and a steep learning curve for most. There is a reason we use what we use. We own a couple Taranis radios and use them with a few of our models, so are speaking from actual, every day experience. Also, speaking from experience, we HIGHLY advise a person NOT break LoS while flying. This is EXTREMELY dangerous and for anyone to admit they are doing this is just asking for negative attention for themselves and the hobby in general. If you break LoS, always have a spotter. Fly safe, please.

@petercane6376

2 жыл бұрын

For a first time flyer with gliders you only need two channels to concentrate on. That is rudder and elevator. Set your rudder on your radio to the aileron channel ( one ) and the elevator to channel two and fly on mode two. This makes you control the model on two axis using one stick on the right of the transmitter( radio). This is quite enough for a starter. The umx Radian is very forgiving and has built in stability by design. What you dont want is ailerons, flaps, brakes etc etc. Its too much for a beginner. Learn to fly as SLOW as possible to give your brain a chance to react. Slowly does it!!!! When that gets boring THEN you add more channels. Be kind to yourself and take the model home in one piece!. That will give you more of a buzz than smashing it and binning the hobby. I am old fashioned and also OLD so I hope my advice helps you. Happy flying .
