Firebird Phantom With A 21 Foot Tail

[flashbang856]

i used to have this plane and the first flight it went out of range and fell in the woods. i could never find it

[RedneckHobby]

is it possible to do a loop on a 2 channel plane??

[joehandsome99]

@RedneckHobby yes it is depending on the plane.

[999benhonda]

@joehandsome99 the megatec interceptor is a 2ch thrust vectoring plane that loops with ease. its not as easy to fly as a 3ch plane tho.

look at a parkzone slo-v or a hobbyzone supercub. both come RTR and can loop and are very tough if you do crash while learning how to fly.

[remotecontrolaholic]

i found an old cassette with most of the tape ripped out. i took the tape home and will be flying it as a streamer on my firebird phantom

[joehandsome99]

@remotecontrolaholic that works just fine. thanks for sharing.

[Catz0125]

I catch mine like that all the time! Nice vid. 5/5!

[joehandsome99]

The hand catches are fun.

Thanks for watching.

[speedstakerguy]

yea it adds more drag which slows the plane a bit

[coolxrudy]

lol awesome

[MarineHover]

not much to this one. I have one and it has more power than you will know what to do with ha.

[analmunkey]

wat happens if u go out of range lol

[joehandsome99]

Crash and burn.

[MrFlyer123]

how much is it?

[joehandsome99]

Check horizon hobby online.

[mikeadx]

how much does one of those cost? and where to buy?

[joehandsome99]

horizon hobby sells the firebird phantom.

[azh01e]

Well, I one-upped you Eric. LOL! Video response shortly...

[joehandsome99]

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for watching.

[XXICE43XX]

keep up all of the vids! im getting one of them soon and im going to beat your tail and do 10 loops lol! i have never flown before so... i subscribed so you could teach me =]

[joehandsome99]

Thats great news. I look forward to hearing or seeing you flights.

[XXICE43XX]

ya ill keep in touch!

[iceblaze19]

i flew my firebird commander 2 today and it kept on going up and up and did a serious nose dive right into the side of a house

[joehandsome99]

Try flying at a park or baseball field first. That will help you get used to it and before you know it you will be having a blast iceblaze.

[beverke7]

I like the added touch, looks very nice and stable indeed, well done Eric ! kr from Belgium

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for watching and the great comment beverke7.

[ivanskye]

brilliant very different cool video

[joehandsome99]

The tail also makes it more stable in flight. Thanks for watching ivanskye.

[simonmedlicott]

Sweet vid eric, u and NightFlyyer are aswom, the ribbon rle helps with stability and makes it look awsom, thanx again.

[joehandsome99]

You are right. I suggest adding the tail all the time as it does make the phantom more stable and easier to fly in windy conditions. thanks for watching simonmedicott.

[simonmedlicott]

ur vids are fantastic and i hav watched all of them, i hav posted my own firebird phantom vid based on ur advice, thanx

[joehandsome99]

I will have to watch it. Thanks for the kind words simonmedlicott.

[startazz]

Great flight Eric and i love the catch at the end mate and i'll have to try that one day lol and knowing my luck it will hit me in the head ha ha,going to try that tail again today if the wind drop off a bit,5*

[538457142]

very nice

[joehandsome99]

Thanks 538457142.

[DKingTaco2188]

where do u get the tail

[joehandsome99]

It is a 3/8 inch (9 mm) cloth ribbon that can be bought at walmart or a craft store for just a couple bucks. It actually makes the plane more stable in flight as well. Thanks for the comment Dkingtaco2188.

[saitoking]

I mean Eric.

[joehandsome99]

No problem saito, I mean Charles. :p

[saitoking]

Nice catch Joe . CHarles

[joehandsome99]

That was a great ending for the video. I think I watched it 10 times myself. lol. Thanks kindly for the comment Charles.

[lollator00]

Very nice indeed. I have a plane model too, a FireBird commander (some cheap 100$ plane)

and i broke his wings badly, the engine got choked because the helics got stuck on the fuselage itself due to an impact, and the landing gear...i haven't seen him in a while. oh well, that's how you learn. nice skills man, keep up the good flight!

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for watching and the comment lollator00.

[DKingTaco2188]

omg noooo not the commander that crappy 2channel plane always get 3channel man always!

[jdgalmbz]

That's what i'm talking about...a hand catch looks great,great video.hey Eric how you doing on the blade400?

[joehandsome99]

The phantom is a great little plane and only costs $60 ready to fly. I am still taking it easy with the blade 400 doing simple pattern flying for now. It is alot to take in flying it, but it is a much better heli than the blade cp pro. Thanks for watching and I will be posting some more heli vids soon Jimmy.

[Winston51249]

Nice catch, flight, streamer...what can I say? All aroundtuit great video! 5 stars allthewayaround.

Jeff

[joehandsome99]

The entire flight was under 3 minutes. I only cut out 20 seconds or so when I was circling to get more altitude for the dive. Your comments and ratings are always appreciated Jeff. Thanks kindly.

[NightFlyyer]

Nice Job, Eric. What a coincidence that we both had streamers on for your upcoming video. Great Catch....especially that content look on your face when you caught it. I used the "Watergate" tape on mine. 5 Stars.

[joehandsome99]

That was a sweet ending to a great flight. Thanks for the kind words and rating Dave.

[startazz]

Yeah i like it mate and what a great catch at the end,5*

[joehandsome99]

Thanks kindly for the comment and rating Startazz. I look forward to watching some more phantom videos from you when you get a break in the weather.

[retiredrider]

Oh yea forgot to mention the great catch.

[joehandsome99]

Man the last few seconds of that flight just came together perfectly. I did the dive, circled once and then caught it. I have probably watched this video 10 times myself, lol. Thanks for the comment Greg.

[retiredrider]

Great job Eric. We needed those when we flew 4 at once. Pin the tail on the phantom........5stars

[joehandsome99]

I thought it would be fun to try. I think I am going to leave it on the plane from now on. It doesnt affect the flight characteristics that much and it is a big visual aid. Thanks for the comment Greg.

[RCSuperPowers]

I think it flys good cuase it has the Mexican flag on the wings.

[joehandsome99]

It's scale design Dave. Red on left and Green on Right, but it flies good none the less. Thanks for the comment guy.

Eric

[youtwoba]

Great catch. Let's see some smoke! :)

[joehandsome99]

Smoke! You got the ticket on that one. lol...

Maybe some smoke next time Tom. Thanks for the comment.

Eric

[loadbrecht]

messing around with planes when youve been tagged...lol

[joehandsome99]

I know I have been tagged loadbrecht. Had some vids to do first and then this one popped up. Even you could appreciate that. Thanks for the comment.

Eric

[sk8erboyz1]

nice i wish i could fly i could of thoes but i have a savage x

[joehandsome99]

Thanks kindly sk8erboyz1

[loadbrecht]

I will be impressed if you can tye a knot in the tail

in fact I challange you!!!

and I will even allow a longer tail

[SkyRanger93]

that sounds very, uh, well challenging lol :P is that just normal ribbon?

[joehandsome99]

It is a red ribbon that you can buy from a local craft store. Have you done it yet? Thanks for the comment Skyranger93.

[joehandsome99]

Had a knot in this tail ribbon dude, but just didn't know it till the flight was over. A 21 foot tail on this bird is a first here on YouTube. Thanks for the longer tail comment, I may try to break my own record!

[nynascarkid]

nice :)

[joehandsome99]

Thanks kindly nynascarkid.
