I got one of these planes and i must have got a lemon cos cant get it to fly straight and true no matter how much the trims are adjusted and the cg is spot on too.
Wow dude, you make flying that little Champ look like child's play. Seriously, I wish I could fly mine that well, but so far no crashes lol. I love your dog and your surroundings too, absolutely beautiful.
@Xertalista Those are 'snap rolls', using the elevator and then rudder. I have one of these... assumed it couldn't do a snap roll. I was so wrong. Good thing about the Champ is you can try something crazy and new to you BOOM, CRASH! Just throw it back in the air!
@RockieFilms Just before dark it's calm around here. I get out of work at 10pm, and from 8pm-11pm there's usually no wind at all. Once you start flying in a large area with some wind, you'll notice one day that you can fly in a lot of wind. And then you'll notice you can fly in a really small area suddenly. Keep at it. Fly it high enough that a mistake doesn't mean a crash. Launch it towards the wind. Don't try to do tricks right away. Take it slow, it'll happen.
@spraynpray Thanks for the tip thats when i do most of my flying now and now ive got this champ down and my neighbors have started getting planes to and telling me how easy I make it look. Im now flying a F4U Corsair Micro about the same size as a champ and an all around awesome plane.
@RockieFilms Yeah... I have one of those now too. But it got wrecked after my first flight. I did a loop, did an aileron roll, then somebody put it in the box wrong and crushed it closed. So it doesn't fly straight and I have to build it from the ground up even though I know nothing about these things. I just built a Champ up from the ground... so I should be able to do it. The only thing that has me worried is the motor angle I have to figure out.
Great video! Thanks for posting. This is the best video of flying the Champ that I have seen. Great flying, beautiful setting, and wonderfully shot. Excellent!!! Helps me decide on getting the champ instead of something else.
The insane Melbourne weather just let me fly my one of these for the first time this afternoon. It was the first time I have flown an rc plane and it got me hooked, I got it barreling around doing sloppy loops and even when I crashed there was no damage!
I couldn't be happier and highly recommend this plane to anyone! I have extensive experience with heli's but at a fraction of what I paid for those, this was just as fun and definitely easier!
@nanagn11 another thing i LOVE about this plane is how easy it is to repair., lose a wheel? drill holes in leggo wheels and put tape on the end of the gear to hold them on. Crack your: Main Wing, Rudder, Elevator, A little painters tape will fix her right up until you can get to the store :D
How does this little guy fly in any kind of wind? Yes, I'm assuming you want to fly it in dead calm wind conditions, but can it cope with some wind? I live in Chicago and we don't get very many dead calm days.
hey bro. nice vid. you can really fly the piss outta that little thing. im thinkin of getting one for my girlfreind because of this vid. have you ever flown a parkzone t-28? if you havent, you should.
Do you think going to a proper spectrum remote is better than the one that hobbyzone give you in the box? I just bought a champ 2 days ago, love it, but wondering whether its worth buying a good transmitter because I feel the one supplied could be letting me down a bit. Do you notice the difference between using either of them Jarred?
@EaGLeBiaN no mate, no difference, if you want more precise movement on the one that comes with it, you can put skewers in the holes where the sticks are for bigger sticks, but it flies just fine with the stock transmitter
I have the same using a DX7 heli radio. I still go back to this plane. It is pretty funny to see what you can make it do.
One thing I have found though if you get one or buy a new wing- Take some elmers wood glue and paint the top and bottom of the wing with a light coat of the glue about 2 ribs out on each side of the fuselage. So all the way across the top 2 rips out from the fuselage on each side and flip the plane and go 2 rips back into the fuselage. This stiffens that entire area.
@casedog21 That is one point where the wings buckle and snap. You will first start to get creases in the wing and then it buckles or just breaks. I can now dive from about 400 feet up going full throttle and pull back on the stick and not snap the wings after doing this.
@AussieJarred thats sick. i need to get new parts though because i destroyed my plane. i broke the rudders the elavator and the wings twice. haha but i still can fly it just as good its weird.
Great flying dude. I just ordered one of these and I hope that someday I may be able to fly it as good as you. And I agree with 1viva that this is the best video of anyone flying the Champ on YouTube, you make it look so easy.
Just ran across your vids tonight... Bro, I'm envious of you locale! If I ever make it to the outback, I'll look you up, which may actually happen since I have a friend who recently moved there... Anyways, great job on the vids and flying. I had thought about getting a Radian for my first plane but perhaps a Champ will get first digs... Later Mate!
Finally someone showing the true potential of the Champ. As someone already said you should be doing the advertising video for Hobbyzone. You must have good control over the dogs , I thought for sure they were going to tear it to pieces. Thanks for a Great video.
Great flying, great control. I have done nothing but crash R/C planes. But I ordered the Champ yesterday and hope it works out better. Anyway, thanks for posting the video it is the best advertisement for a model airplane I have seen...
very nice! the champ is a great plane. i have a few of them and love the durability and its ease and im talking easy. like the loops and your huge back yard.
@sovietluigi you might need to check there is no damage to the motor mount, otherwise you may need to trim the plane, or it could need some custom mixing
A lagoon monster coming out of the pond would really top this off.
