I think the ESC supplies the full battery voltage to the board and I'm not sure how much voltage it can handle. I don't know if 3S voltage would damage the board. I've also read the ESC is rated for 10A but I also don't know if the ESC is rated for 3S. I think the motor should handle a 3S just fine.

Thanks! I love the wide open space ;-)

Landing on nice soft grass is something I wish I had.

I keep in close contact with my Inner Child ;-)

@@GroundControlRC me too…

Thanks!

;-)

Yes, they do look like 55mm props. You might be able to use 65mm props as with the amount of flight time it gets the motors don't seem to be pulling much in the way of Amps. That may provide a bit more power and speed while sacrificing a bit of flight time. I don't know what the rating is of the ESC as far as Amps.

Thank you for the kind words and wanting to support our channel and what we do. The links I provided in the Show Notes to Amazon and AliExpress will help us as they are both affiliate links. I try to provide links to as many vendors as possible but I realize not everyone can get products from those vendors. That Flying Fish is awesome isn't it ;-)

The terminology uses sometimes can be very confusing.

Hi John, I answer all the questions I have time to answer. You have a question?

I just wanted to thank you for making this great video. I am going to​ buy this plane based on your vide review. I am 68 years old and have been flying old line control planes since I was 10 years old! Thank you again for all that you do! I am a new fan! ❤

@@thebullet44739 Thank you for the kind words. It's a great plane an you're going to have a lot of fun with it. See you in the Air!

The Qidi Maule is a nice flying little plane but the XK A280 is a great little warbird.

I never had time to replace that stock camera and VTX. I still have this Heli but I'm still pretty deep in other projects. Maybe this coming Winter.

@@GroundControlRC I know the feeling, I must have 50+ projects on my to-do list that I'd like to make videos on. Keep up the good work, you have some great content.

@@shanesdiy No rest for the weary ;-) Thanks for the kind words and I'll see you in the Air!

Thank You! Yes, I provide links to things in the Video Show Notes, when I remember to do so ;-) I've tested several props on this plane and the 7x5 thin electric 2-blade prop provides the best performance. You need the ones that include the spacers as I used (2) spacers to mount this prop on the XK A280 Here are some links to those props: APC 07050E Electric Propeller 7 X 5E amzn.to/45f9Gwn 5Pcs APC 7x5 E Thin Electric Composite Prop LP07050E amzn.to/436JHp2 I hope that helps and I'll see you in the Air!

Hum...mine flew fairly well on 3S but not great power on 3S. Some questions, as I always go over these with every plane I have issues with as sometimes I overlook some things. Is your LIPO able to provide the Amps necessary for the EDF Unit? These EDF units are terrible on efficiency and require a lot of Amps. I don't know the size of the 3S LIPO you're using. Did you program the top and bottom of the Throttle Stick with the ESC? I try to remember to do this every time but sometimes I have a senior moment ;-) Is the Gyro correcting all the Control Surfaces in the proper direction? I've been able to catch this one so far but I've seen some RC Pilots that are much more experienced forget to check this one. I always launch my EDF Jets at full throttle with a pretty good chuck as they typically need some speed to stay airborne on launch. If none of these are an issue let me know and I'll try to think of something else.

@@GroundControlRC it is a 1300 MAH 45C 3S LiPo Not sure what you mean by setting the throttle stick. Do you mean 0 to 100%? I threw the thing in the sky as hard as I could and it just became a lawn dart. It seems to be underpowered and I’m not sure why because the batteries I have are good ones they are brand-name “Tattu”. I’m going to try the forest but I’m afraid it will fry my ESC or motor. Also the vector Gyro was defective so I had to install an aftermarket which doesn’t seem to be working well for some reason But that’s a whole Nother deboggle. :( I appreciate the help! Any new info is welcome. I’m determined to get it flying.

@@TheFlyinTek Yeah, programming the ESC so it knows the full range of the throttle. I sounds like you're definitely not getting full power and that could be because the ESC is not timing well.

@@GroundControlRC that sounds logical but shouldn’t it fly even at 80%? I mean I’ve got to be close to that. And it just drops like a rock. I throw it up and it glides or come straight down. Very sad because I really want to get this bird going she seems to be extremely nice I’ve seen your videos and my God it flies so beautifully. I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong

@@TheFlyinTek I'm just trying to think of things that could be causing the issue. Sometimes if the ESC isn't timing well with the motor it can really limit the amount of power. I also wonder if it could be the after market gyro you spoke of, what gyro is it? The Gyros I always go to are the Radiolink Byme Gyros. I must have at least a dozen of those now. The airframe is good so it has to be something in the electronics.

Thank You! It's the first Micro Factory Parkjet that's been able to compete with my DIY Micro F22. Just a blast!

Thanks!

Thanks for the support! I'm having a lot of fun with this little plane and can't stop flying it. I think you're going to like it ;-)

@@GroundControlRC thanks for the suggestion and the awesome content…

Thank you as it's much appreciated!

Yes, hard to believe a 3CH flies that well. Yes, the gyro seems to do some weird things on the ground but worked great in the air. Mine would kick the rudder all the way to one side so I just knew it was going to boomerang on me when I launched it but worked just fine. I'd test it with a ground takeoff 1st just to be on the safe side.

@GroundControlRC lol my rudder also does the same well at least I now have more confidence 🤣 I wanted to got out today but a little too windy especially with the gyro acting like that looking forward to putting it in the air now 👍🏼🤞🏼😁 I now have 2 great fliers thanks to you man🙏🏼✌🏽

I'm not sure and I didn't see that in the specs. I've had it approx. 150m away from me and it was solid on the signal at that range. It gets really small at 150m ;-)

@GroundControlRC that's pretty solid.. yea I don't need it too far with my aging eyes haha

One of the best 3CH Planes I've flown so I'm glad you're getting one. I think the airframe is good enough on this one to warrant a conversion in the future. I''m having a blast with it ;-)

@@GroundControlRCsounds like some fun coming my way!

I'm just happy they provide me with these exclusive discount codes at all. I'll have to remember to ask if they're Global.

That sounds heavy to me. I fly with a 2S 660mah LIPO.

@@GroundControlRC Aw more buying

Thank You! Fantastic Plane!

Thanks Robby! I was surprised a how well this 3CH plane can fly! It's a Keeper ;-)

What issues are you having?

@@GroundControlRC i cant bind pilot with airplane/ i had 50models before. Instruction tels 0 about it.

@@BarbaraNowak-wq8cq I have the PNF version and added an external receiver to mine as I didn't know the protocol at the time. If you have the RTF it should bind right up by powering up the plane, then powering up the transmitter. If you have the PNF and are trying to bind without an external receiver, here is the information I've found. Protocol = FX / 9630. That protocol requires the latest Multi Firmware V1.3.3.33. If the correct protocol has been programmed in the TX, first connect the aircraft to the battery, then switch on the TX. After 2 seconds the binding is complete. This must be done after every battery change.

Funny you should ask that as I just got back from flying it in some Wind (5mph gust to 8mph). I was hoping for 10mph as then I'd have no problem hovering this plane. Had a near vertical landing ;-) I think it can handle a 10mph Wind and I will test that out when I have the chance. Yes, I think it's a keeper. Video coming soon....glad you got one as it's a ton of fun ;-)

@@GroundControlRC Thanks Tony!!!

I've seen that one as well. I was never really interested in the 2CH version but this 3CH version is a lot of fun ;-) If the airframe proves very stable there might be a MOD in it's future.

It certainly is using Protocol V761 / 4CH

@@GroundControlRC thanks you

That's fantastic! I'm hoping to have some fly buddies in my family soon ;-) Thank you for the kind words and I'll see you in the Air.

Yes, and the FAA is not going to like it ;-)

Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to fly the AeroScout but it sure does look nice.

This one was a big surprise! It looks very strange but flies extremely well. I love those power systems Radiolink puts on their planes ;-)

I'm in the same boat! Trying to decide continually which ones to keep and which ones to retire. My fleet is growing beyond what I can fly ;-)

Thanks Jono! I'm very lucky to have received some very nice flying planes indeed ;-) Is that 750 out of production? I looked around and didn't see any stock.

Bummer! Is that via Banggood or Amazon? amzn.to/3VLfyLg

@@GroundControlRC BG.... I used to spend a lot of $$ over there before they changed their Shipping to Canada Policies... Same with HobbyKing.

@@lasersbee I thought maybe Amazon had better shipping options. The link I provided above is for Amazon.

@@GroundControlRC The Link I see is for BG... 3rd line in the video description...

@@lasersbee I posted it in the comment. Here it is: amzn.to/3VLfyLg

According to a reviewer over at Banggood, these can be bound to the same controller as the warbirds.

It sure will using Protocol v761 / 4CH. I'm glad you got one. Absolutely fantastic little plane ;-)

The manuals could definitely be better ;-)

@@GroundControlRC how do i know im in 6g mode

Hum....it's been so long since I had this plane I can't remember all the MODs I performed on it but I know it was a lot of work. Here is the playlist as everything I did will have been mentioned in the videos. I hope that helps. ua-cam.com/play/PL_YiEhY7O1WZhJkrStCNlHmtImYBMckfX.html

Thank You! Those voltage regulators sure do come in handy sometimes. That beefed up P51 of yours sounds like my kind of power ;-)

@@GroundControlRC I'm not as young as I used to be as evidenced by today when flying this thing, I pointed it up and gave it full throttle, and In an instant, it was too high for me to orientate visually. I had to watch it move to get orientation!

@@markculp6126 Hehehe...I still lose orientation sometimes. One of those issues with small planes. Much fun though with these Micro planes. Sometimes it's like flying a Bat ;-)

Hum...wonder if it's a motor angle issue. I've had a few with a bad motor angle.

Hum...with the 7x5 Prop on 2S, given I hand launch the plane at 60% Throttle. You should be able to just cruise around at 50% Throttle. I perform mixed mode flights cruising around part of the time and full throttle for short burst performing aerobatics...I would guess my average throttle for an entire flight to be between 70%-75% Throttle.

Thanks for the info. I'll be reinforcing those areas.

They are pretty bad here every year. I'll be seeing smoke in the sky before long.

It's a shame they keep changing these protocols. I don't know when they will learn that being able to bind to a Hobby-Grade TX is a great selling point.

You can still bind it to the TX16s with the protocol MT99XX and the new sub protocol H7 . It binds and works great rates on ch5 but no modes.

@@crice1197 ...no it doesn't

Thanks!

I fabricated the Landing Gear. Here's the Playlist as I think I posted a video regarding the Landing Gear: ua-cam.com/play/PL_YiEhY7O1WZJ8ddJIqqYreQaczXPGYUG.html

@@GroundControlRC wow I didn’t think you would respond.. thanks I will try to fabricate my own

@@mrsouthcentral42021 You are most welcome!

Fun little plane.

I always want more power but for it's intended purpose it's nearly perfect.
