New Arttech Alpha Jet Brushless EDF Review

[Dongskie2]

Wow! That was some crazy speed and flying!!

[BikeEmil]

How long can you run it, if you run it at full speed?

[nitroplanes]

@BikeEmil You will get about 8 minutes or so when you go at full speed.

[TheUpflip]

Is it me or does it look like at 2:20 he does a barrel and something comes off the plane? Great video tho and great flying

[MrFlamingtaquito]

just saying if you look on the website this jet comes with a sim

[TheBrianmp5]

would you recomend this to me as ive got very used to a 3ch motor glider that does 35Mph+ ?

[wowrulz12]

@TheBrianmp5

DO NOT START WITH ANY EDF JET!!! The next model you should get is a 4ch tranier,then a 4ch warbird then a jet

[tull3e]

Damn , sooo cool !!!!

[covercalls88]

As Tony stated this plane is not for beginners or intermediate fliers that have not flown fast planes. I used two strips of velcro, one at the front and the other at the rear to hold the canopy on and have experienced no problems. The jet has a six blade fan unit, mine is very quiet under full power. Keep the speed up on the turns or it will really drop its nose. The plane is fairly durable and easily repaired.

[drumdude46]

damn, that first jet (small alpha) "rips!!!" lol! yup. i'd say the manufacturer didn't lie. looks like 95+ to me... however, thing zips by Sooo Fast, and it's movements are so "uncharacteristic" of how a real one would handle, i'd prefer a "heavier, slower" Model, such as the 70 mm one, or even larger. also it just is more realistic to have to "land" the aircraft, with a Real Landing gear, and on pavement. the first one is just more like a very fast, Styrofoam Toy.

[xxerkan]

is it faster than Jetiger

[ploetzlich30]

will there ever be someone sending this puppy via fpv through the air?

[riotcaio]

i have flown a champ do you think i can fly this jet?

[riotcaio]

hey i have flown a champ by hobbyzone and i handle it very well. do you think i can fly this jet ?

[skiboy800]

Why do you throw it ?

[nightsniping]

your face reminds me of jet li

[microdon2]

Nice review, Tony. I like that you're genuinely having fun flying the plane. (and it DOES look like a cool plane - I'm gonna search for the price.) Never thought I'd consider a belly-lander, but it looks fine, and REALLY cuts down the rollout duration. Good job all around!

[nitroplanes]

@microdon2 Thank you Microdon2! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and glad you enjoyed the review =) -cn

[Moosemansam1]

I just flew this plane first time 2day. Im 14 and its about the high end of my skill level- Not for beginners like he said! I had the same problem with the canopy it happened mid-flight and i spent ages looking for it. Very good plane

[guitardude789800]

how much is a beginner plane? that is verry easy to land and fly also with long control rainge

[burtonandi]

Can anyone send me a link to a good high wing trainer on nitroplanes?

[nitroplanes]

@burtonandi Definitely check out the J3 Piper! -cn

[burtonandi]

@nitroplanes ok thank you very much!

[mikkobrostrom]

i bought this jet as my first one i flew it about 5 to.8 times until a crashed. its awsome to fly and its fast and its easy to repair ..

[MrHolesinmypants]

Is this a good plane for beginners???

[nitroplanes]

@MrHolesinmypants not recommended for beginners, start off with a high wing trainer

[nitroplanes]

@MrHolesinmypants not recommended for beginners, start off with a high wing trainer

[XxstryaexX1]

@MrHolesinmypants no get the flight simulater and mess and PRACTICE with it for 2 months then get a 3d plane then warbird then a park jet then an EDF

[DJFlow347]

Thanks for steering away beginners, thats very responsible of you!

This is what banana hobby lacks doing.

[DJFlow347]

you fly at the same field as pete from banana hobby... do you ever see him there?

You and pete are getting really good at flying!

[Aramil070993]

I bet if you altered the engine-to-turbine ratio of that plane enough, you could get it to go 2 or even 3 times faster with lower RPM's, but the handling would be ultra-brutal; imagine a 64mm foam plane trying to turn at 200mph. It would most likely break apart, but the flight time would be fun and challenging.

[Aramil070993]

It would be cool to put a micro video camera with a transmitter in the cockpit, along with a 5-mile signal booster, so you don't have to be so quick to turn it around. You should try it, then post a review with the video footage captured.

[bullsjewells24]

I don't know if you saw my comment on the P-51 video but how do you become a model tester for nitroplanes, nitrorcx etc.

[leonc08]

How much a jet like this cost I want to buy one?

[lejink]

@ESECK13 just that simple hey?  whats better for range, 2.4ghz or less? iv seen some comments that 2.4 gets a whole lot of interference at times which would be baaaad news 1km from home

[Omhra]

OMG.....I want it....its worthy of aileron gyro... and scorch the sky...

[randyneighbour]

i like this one i might have to get one

[lejink]

im thinking of making a FPV plane, but i want a long flight time.. what can i do to increase flight time on an electric aircraft? add battery? different motor? battery would add a lot of weight.. any suggestions guys?

[ddrlankyj]

yet another great review Tony. and thank you to the editors for toning down the volume of the outro music. it used to blare compared to the rest of the video

[miGsKills]

Nice plane! Its nose looks a lot like an Aermacchi S211's, but the rest does look like an alpha jet.

[UtRadioGuy]

I need new TX batteries for an older JR Radio The 9.6v with the 9 volt connector right on the end of the battery. Do you have them? If so how much? Thanks. One of these days I am going to buy a plane from you. I am looking at the F4 with retracts.

[TheBlanco951]

beautiful plane!

[startazz]

Man that is fast but it didn't look to me as if it was going as fast as you say it was (90 mph) but the video could be deceiving ;-) shame about the paint job though ;-( nothing a little foam safe paint cant sort out ;-) thumbs up yet again.

[jauchiu]

@startazz You are correct. It really needs a paint job. Other than that its nice.

[djmoosecom]

Wow, I'm usually the skeptical one....but this plane looks nice.  Any chance of getting a PnP version? (no battery, no rx, no tx) Give me a PnP for $125 and I'm in.

[bassax7045]

good speed that plane got

[juutuub0]

How many G's are the wings rated for? :P

[civiccrazed]

not bad looks good great park flyer

[jp00000420]

@civiccrazed A 90mph plane at a park? Are you retarded?

[okayamita]

Beautiful Jet. ; )

[TheFastRacer1]

is this model made from epo?

[anderman72]

Fast little bugger!

[Ispintechno1]

Holey crap that was fast, possibly the first time a manufacturer has put down 90mph+ and not lied about it!
