Unboxing the Park Zone Bf-109G Messerschmitt RC plane!

[Jesse999ish]

wow u waste of time!!!

[earthling1984]

@Jesse999ish thank you

[Jesse999ish]

@earthling1984 JK Coolest unboxing ever!!!!!!:)

[thechickboy1]

would this be a good plane coming from a 3 ch plane?

[earthling1984]

@thechickboy1 not really, you should look at the e-flite apprentice, or the parkzone trojan t-28 - those are better choices to step up to.

[Rcflyyer1]

Are the wheels buff enough to land on grass cause I have thin Dead Grass at my field and I don't want to rip up my foam belly landing it on the dead grass. And is this made out of Z-Foam?

[earthling1984]

@Rcflyyer1 yes this is z-foam, and the wheels/gear are pretty darn strong, I think you will be fine. If you plan to fly out of grass that is longer, you can add on slightly larger wheels too.

[WarbirdFan66]

@Rcflyyer1 If ur landing strip is really bumpy like the one i have to land on, bend the landging gear a little more forward, helps u keep it from tipping over on landings, or get rid of the landing gear and handlaunch it, (by the way the plane flys a lot better with the landing gear off, not to mention it looks better in the air), it makes a pretty good bellylander too, but stay on the grass or u will damage the underside of the wings, have fun with the 109, and good hunting :)

[rcman098]

I just got mine and am wondering, can I land a three bladed prop like this on its belly?

[earthling1984]

@rcman098 yes I've heard of people belly landing this plane.

[WarbirdFan66]

@rcman098 definitely, belly landing is the way to go, at least for me it is (very bumpy landing strip at my flyingfield) not problems so far..and the plane looks much better, flys much better in the air without the gear, try it....you will see what i mean

[WarbirdFan66]

@rcman098 oh and never had any problems with the prop, still flying with my first one, just put on the esc brake and make sure the throttle is off before you touch down...but dont cut it off to early, the 109 likes a little bit more speed for landings...at least compared to other parkzone planes

[earthling1984]

@ZzoldpeopleburningzZ I don't think so. I probably just didn't put on the sticker.

[EMPrcRacing]

Im wondering about the BNF? I dont have a transmitter that would work with the receiver? Im I able to put in my own TX and RX? Because some of the Park Zone planes dont come in Plug and Play?

[earthling1984]

@EMPrcRacing you can put in your own rx and use your own tx.

[flyingchimp99]

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA dood that dx6i that was infront of the box looks like its a pic so i said .....thiers a rtf version? witch their might be.....but that was cool lol nice vid

[Guitarooster52]

Look pretty but doesn't fly pretty.

[earthling1984]

@Guitarooster52 it flies like a scale warbird.  It isn't super aerobatic. But it flies nice and lands nice if you fly it for what it is.

[eastcoast78]

lol 100 bucks you Noob he jsut paid about 250 for it,lmao!!! sorry there Earthing but @ from 3:30 too 4:08 thats a Horizontal Stabilizer and im sure one of those control services on the Aft of the Plane is for the Rudder (which is aready assembled on the plane),and the to Hoz well be controlled by the other Push rod. Not trying too bash you,you make very informative Movies..

[earthling1984]

@eastcoast78 :) sometimes I didn't always get the terms 100% correct. I just got into RC planes last year really. I had flown helicopters for a few years, and had some planes when I was younger, but hadn't really gotten big into this hobby until a year or so ago. Now I am really learning as much as possible and have many planes. I keep learning more and more, and yes, I did mis-label some things. Thanks for letting me know too! That is the only way we learn :)

[Millard97]

i will but that off you for 100 $

[Millard97]

@Millard97 ARF

[earthling1984]

@Millard97 sorry, it isn't for sale.

[flyingchimp99]

@earthling1984 its worth more than a hundred 

[wardyst456]

wow 9 channels ,thats cool

[earthling1984]

@wardyst456 9 channels?

[Millard97]

@wardyst456 there is only 7 not 9 .

[oregonpoop]

I flew mine a few times and gutted it... it was a huge let down!

[earthling1984]

@oregonpoop why was it a letdown to you?

[QMAXIMUS]

Good info, I didn't realize how big that thing was only watching flight videos with no size comparison, I have the micro P-51 and wanted something a little bigger thats less affected by light wind, this looks perfect. The details on the BF-109 are sick. Nice video, thanks! Subscribed.

[1martin23]

Nice Video ill be showing some of my BF-109G soon!

[scmbyhbk]

but a dx5e is enough.

[earthling1984]

yes, a DX5 would control this plane just fine.  DX6i will give you many more options to improve flight though, and also be a better TX for when you get more planes.

[WORRO01]

Very nice!

[FlyingfinnRC]

Nice Video, but try to learn the difference between a horizontal stabalizer with an elevator and the vertical stabalizer with the rudder.

[earthling1984]

I know the differnece of course... No need to be sarcastic and such.

[10fantic]

oh ok i meant you are right about your dx6i falling like 2 or three feet.... did you check out my personal message i sent you! what do you think???

[10fantic]

whoops knoked down your dx6i be carfull thats a very valuable radio

[earthling1984]

It's fine, not like I dropped it from a few feet :)

[spitfireMK22]

Its a Messerschmitt not a Masserschmitt

[earthling1984]

This has already been discussed and all writing was fixed... I'm sorry if how I pronounce it to your un-liking but this video isn't about the way I said it, it is about the plane and it's packaging and all that is in the box.. please keep on topic... thanks.

[joehandsome99]

Thats a great looking plane.

I know you will have fun flying it.

5 Stars ~ Eric

[earthling1984]

Thanks :) I can't wait to fly it! The 4-site too is just itching to be finished and flown!

[youtwoba]

I thought is was a Messerschmitt, but who cares about spelling :) I have this plane too and it is very fun to fly but be cautious on the landings if you don't have flaps. It noses over very easily and it will stall too if you get too slow. I am thinking about adding flaps as they say it is easier to land with them. Anyway it knife edges pretty good too!

[earthling1984]

Hey. You are right :) Fixed :) I haven't flown yet, but I can't wait to. Thanks for the heads-up on landing. I hope to do a couple flights without flaps, then add the flaps to see how much it helps the landings. :)

[TheDutchGamers]

i think u have to much money :P

[earthling1984]

Pets and RC aren't cheap hobbies... some people my age go to bars and waste $100+ on overpriced drinks a couple times a week. I don't do that often, and another way I save money is by eating AT HOME most of the time. You can waste a LOT of money by eating out often(even fast food is expensive compared to cooking at home). And home cooking is much healthier. So do I have too much money... not really.. I just know how to manage it :)

[nishbrown]

Ooooooooooo, piqued my interest!

Been looking into this one for a minute. I wanna stay on the scratch-built side of things. But, If I were to pay 170+ $'s, It would probably be on this one.

For overall quality for the money, Which is your choice, this or the P-40?

[earthling1984]

The P-40 is a little less expensive($179.99) for the BNF. It too is an amazing plane and I LOVE flying it! This plane, although I haven't flown it yet, does have some 'better' features. I like the steerable tail wheel and the easy flap add on. This one also comes with rudder pre-setup, whereas the P-51D is just 3CH(Throttle, aileron, elevator). The P-51D does allow you to easily add a rudder though... They are both great... Either one will be a great choice!

[traxxashpilover]

i think it is a spektrum DX6I

[earthling1984]

DX6i... isn't that what I said...?

[9912699125]

what is tx?

[earthling1984]

Transmitter

[DA7GLUCKSTER]

oh nvm lol i ddint watch till the end b4 commenting

[DA7GLUCKSTER]

thts also a replica of a WW2 german fighter plane. great vid btw 5* =]

[BarackObamaFan123]

How much are these planes?

[earthling1984]

BNF version as shown in this video is $239.99. The PNP model, which doesn't include the battery, charger, receiver is $179.99
