i flew the same plane with any problem...of course is tail heavy., but that's it........never trust a Cg according to Dynam's manual instructions..Good Video thanks for sharing
As far as I am concerned, when you buy a PNP, you shouldn't make any mod to improve upon its flying ability, when you have to do so, those guys making the planes are not doing their job, since this vid is almost 2 yrs old, I hope Dynam has since improved on their products , awesome job on the mods!
Wow Nitroplanes should start to send you All the New models to you to be TESTED from Now On! That was Great, what is that rule besides the Lemon law, I think what is going wrong will go wrong, i think?
Dave. Again good video on this 1. thanks for the heads up on CG. I personnaly dont like Dynam plans. cheap and very unflyable with out a lot of mods. My latest from them and NP was the SR trainer. very poor out the box. Now wing support ie: Spar that i could see, just a thin white straw, so i had to reinforce with 2 carbon rod's 1 on the leading edge 1 on the trailing edge, Oh and a new motor as the shaft on the stock broke easly on landing, and they dont carry a spare.
i wouldnt buy planes online because it takes to long and if theres a problem and you email them they might not answer you but if you go to stores you can talk to them directly.
Belive it or not Free energy is real,But a few ppl make too many billions from our energy needs to let this technology be known,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Free yourself!
i think that you just need to turn off the motor when its about 1 foot above the ground and it should take time before the motor turns off therefore slowing down the plane for a safer landing.
It looks like the manufacturer destroyed the proportions of the spitfire design and turned the plane into something one would find in a happy meal. No wonder it wouldn't fly.
Dear Dave i love your videos and i need your help with somthing im getting a 3D heli witch one shall it be a Trex 250 or one of the blades ? Great vids btw 5STARS
Its probably not worth $400 to Dave to own the habu but I sure hopes he can borrow one, we know Dave uses the DX6i which is perfect already for it. Let's see a 1million hits RC video! Habu review!!!
That's strange. I have a foam gws zero that had the same CG issues and would not fly, even with the matching power setup. I had to cut a huge hole for a big heavy lipo to go with a brushless swap that i purposely stuck out way too forward. after doubling what it was supposed to weigh, the landing gear wouldnt hold, but the plane flew amazing. what's with these cheap war birds not balancing right without huge modifications?
to heavy materials in the back and battery compartment to far back. looking at the 1:1 scale fighters they had a huge engine in the front.. the weight of the engines was almost a ton on a 3-4 ton aircraft. so 1/4 of the weight was the engine that was in front.. fuel etc at the wing..
i guess its hard to make it look right and still be balanced without good design.
you make complete sense. how could they sell a plane as a scaled down version if the tail is right behind the main wing. i'm sure they decided that "close to scale" dimensions were more important then cg and performance. the length of the fuselage back to the tail looks great, but just makes its sooo hard to balance correctly with the factory power setup. although a cheapy, i expected a little more from gws.
the sad thing is nitroplanes sells cheap planes thats true and most of them do not fly right out of the box i bought one from them and the speed control burned up before i got it in the airalso dave i would take the gear off and land on that big lump of clay you got on it...LOL
Just wanted to say. Dave I love your videos. They are by far some of the best on Youtube for RC. Much better than the biased company videos. You show us how these products really fly. Thanks for everything you do. Your garage is a dream come true! Love it! Keep up the great flying and videos Dave! - JD.
this is the same problem as the HBK2 and has the same solution :) use the same size lipo as the manufacturers were using when they made this plane :) rather than put in 11oz of dead weight and lower run times put in a bigger lipo further forward and increase flight times :) simples :D
The bigger lipo, I tried on the last flight in the other video and it is as far forward as it can go. It is a really short nose if you look. First it barely fit in and then there was no room for the clay. The bigger Battery only weighed 5 ounces. Definitely not enough.
Excellent mods to make it flyable, I have been waiting for you to sort it (knew you could) it kind of now looks like a Hawker Typhoon or the Sea Fury developed from a Tempest, clip the wings, almost a double (close enough, lol)! Fantastic work as always. I think a lot of people (me me me) want to see you fly the msr some more, let us see what that micro baby can do in the hands of such an expert!
I checked the channel almost everyday to see what happened to this plane. and I see that it flies really well and elegantly! it gives a real plane feeling.
you said you've sent an email to the manufacturer , did they reply your email? any explanation?
That was so cool to watch. I honestly did not believe it would fly after watching the first vid and the first attempt rog in the second vid. Then FOOM!!! you are totally the man! 11 Oz of pure genius! XD
Your videos about this Dynam product just confirm a theory of mine: don't buy cheap from stores that specialize in selling cheap products at low prices; you will end up frustrated and spending more.
That is a lot of weight. One would think that Nitro would require a better job of designing than this. Don't they test their airplanes before selling them ? Apparenty not !
hey Dave, got ya some sweet gloves, good for you! ha ha helps with that cold weather ya got, nice work on the plane too. I know you enjoyed fixin it up.
Sorry to see this one needs so many mods, hopefully they will look at this video and make some fixes for the next version.
Something tells me Nitroplanes won't be posting this video on their Channel, lol, that's ok, just like us, they can't be all perfect, lol, that being said, I would still buy from Nitroplanes , just not this one, lol (I will get a jet from them this winter). Thanks for your great review Dave, keeping it real :-)
eems to be a problem shared by many smaller scale Spits. I bought a balsa build-up ARF a few years ago (forget the manufacturer) and it fly about the same. Rather than add useless weight I pulled the stock .25 and dropped a Magnum .36 in, a weited prop nut, cut the control throws, and enlarged the rudder (wiggly part) for better yaw control. It improved the CG and penetration enough that it was flyable, but I never really enjoyed it. Ended up trading it off for a Katy II slope ship.
maybe this would download better without music - probobly not, its pretty hi def(too hi def to watch- it wont load ) too bad them foam makers dont do their homework about CGs etc
you da man dave make a brick fly!!! ha did you try with out the tail mods? i know it needs to be way way bigger but i would have tryed it with out just for kicks i mean its already pretty messed up how worse can it get great video dave
Wow, nice job mr.herbert. looks like it took a lot of work though. nice video as usual. i make sure to not buy one of them soon. nice video as usual. Also, get better landing gear. lol.
Dave - Continue to look forward to and enjoy your videos... I know oyu have reviewed some great products from nitro planes but boy it looks like you are working hard to stay positive on this one . A plane that is that far off out of the box and needs those kinds of mods.. i sure wouldnt be happy.
i love all your videos , the heli fishing and your science classes . i bought the walkera chinook after watching your video . i fly the ikarus su27 xxl and an ultrafly cessna for cruising.was going to ask some question but you'd have no time making these great videos . say hi to Jeff .. wish you all the best baz ..Scotland
Dave you had done a great job though making junk fly but I could never doubt you. Maybe if you get tired of it you can use it as a drone and have a f18 or f35 foot it down with bottle rockets. LOL
hai uhh im new to flying and i my birthdays coming up, well im not new i can fly a havoc and reflex really good ;D but i was looking for a plane that looks nice and flys because most of the ones i look at look like poop XD
hello dave,i cant believe this is the same plane from the other video,i think dynam should pay you for your upgrades to make this plane fly,you are awesome man-BTW can you fly a real plane?and do you have a pilots licence?keep up the great work-tom
very nice work Dave, bit nose heavy maybe ? =:-) It sure flys much better, penetrates the air very well, the manufacturer should make improvements real fast though instead of the customer. Well, you made it fly all right so one more for the hangar..euh, garage ! lol
You spend a lot of money for this piece of junk what did Nitroplanes say? You stuck with it buddy ha ha.I hope that junk was a freebie from junko planes.
Hmm that clay in the front adds a lot of bulk. I know it makes it fly good and all which is great but is there a way to use something smaller but with the same added weight such as a few heavy but little dime magnets or even a metal marble which is small and heavy. Im not sure though. Your the expert haha just thought i would ask.
Just using what I have on hand out here on the Tundra. LOL. I dont care what it looks like, cause I can always add lights and fly in the dark. They all look great then. LOL.
lol after the last video i thpught right after i saw the first try at flying it again oh man bad vid again lol but after you spruced it up its works great!!! nice modding!!! although the landing gear still could use a lot more work although i dont have to tell you that lol i just started this hobby lol !! i wish i knew how to fly planes like you
good job Dave it sure is different from the last time it flew, I don't understand why they would push a plane out the door posed as a ready to fly that isn't propperly balanced
The speed controller burnt up on the first flight, so I decided to reduce some motor drag with a smaller prop. They dont have as much lifting power, but they go faster with higher rpms and less load. And with this weight, once up to speed, it really felt good.
Yeah thats a lot better mate and she seems to fly more true now ;-) well i'm glad you got her all sorted out and i had no doubts that you would Dave,5*
Glad you got the bugger flying Dave, but I gotta ask.........was it really worth the effort? Not for me I'm afraid, and I am a Brit so I love Spitfires. Great vid anyways.
I'm don't know Dave...I think that any plane that comes "RTF" and is not actually able to be flown should just be binned. So many people love watching your videos that I think polishing turds like these sends the wrong message to manufacturers of planes. Would it not be better to hear which alternative Spitfire models are a better choice?
I doubt that many people would buy it if they watch this, so polishing turds as you say, is simply me doing what I can to make things fly, no matter the odds. My challenge. And maybe you ought to watch the first video.
It's OK Dave - I'm not trying to abuse you! I even watched the first video beforehand. I suppose I have had the impression over the years that you were being sponsored by Nitroplanes.
Polishing turds, LOL! That's a great one! I wonder if Der Stuff would do well with that? It works great on everything else!LOL. Great job as always, Dave. You da man!
So in other words this kit is a duck out of the box!
I feel sorry for the pilot who does not know how to fix, or adjust things to make it fly Money down the drain and another pissed off customer, thanks for the honest review.
great magiver job on that sucker if i know you you loved the challenge plane really moves out now,but i still say they need to take it back to the drawing board you shouldn't have to re invent something that is suppose to be rite.
You thought I was kidding about making a lead spinner! 11 ounces! How could the mfg'er EVER release this plane the way it was? We all KNEW you'd make it fly!! Great job!
Hehe, the torque would be crazy with a lead spinner! I hope you know I was being facitious. It's always nice to see you reply to your viewers' comments.
Looks like a major improvement of what it was before, but it would have been nice to see incremental changes rather than a bunch at once to see if taking the silly scale details off the bottom of the wing would have fixed some of the issues, although it probably still would have needed additional weight on the nose.
WOW! The difference in flight between this video and the last are astounding. In this video, it actually looks very realistic when it's up in the air. Nice job Dave! I am slightly disappointed with NitroPlanes lack of response, because they are a distributor I like to use when purchasing planes. I would be very interested to know if you get a response from them, as I would like to add this plane to my collection, but am not looking forward to all the mods.
wow. it looks great in the air! to bad you had to do all of the mods just to make it fly tho. you know us northern boys need planes that can handle wind. i think you need to try a flying wing or something like the parkzone stryker ( im sure eric would have something good to say about that plane) got any more slope videos in the works? im sure that hill would be blowing hard now that the trees are starting to thin out
HAHA. Well before I put a new esc in, I did consider using it as a slope soarer. The winds have to blow out of the south for the only hill in Iowa to work, and those winds arent really common. Stay tuned, though.
cool it can actually fly now the only thing is that it dos not look ass cool, you should take the wells of your "junk yard dog and put them on the spitfire that would be better
i flew the same plane with any problem...of course is tail heavy., but that's it........never trust a Cg according to Dynam's manual instructions..Good Video thanks for sharing

Hmm that clay in the front adds a lot of bulk. I know it makes it fly good and all which is great but is there a way to use something smaller but with the same added weight such as a few heavy but little dime magnets or even a metal marble which is small and heavy. Im not sure though. Your the expert haha just thought i would ask.

Just using what I have on hand out here on the Tundra. LOL. I dont care what it looks like, cause I can always add lights and fly in the dark. They all look great then. LOL.

good job Dave it sure is different from the last time it flew, I don't understand why they would push a plane out the door posed as a ready to fly that isn't propperly balanced

Excellent job Dave.
After watching both videos I would still not be interested in purchasing one.
Too many modifications are required to correct the improper design.
Only experienced pilots could compensate for the design flaws.
Thanks for the review and flight.
I will steer clear of this one.

Nice dave, question; what made you decide to choose the other prop and why? thanks :)
daveyedgar 2 years ago
He probably chose it to make it fly a bit slower. And maybe he likes orange ;)
vidjohnny 2 years ago
The speed controller burnt up on the first flight, so I decided to reduce some motor drag with a smaller prop. They dont have as much lifting power, but they go faster with higher rpms and less load. And with this weight, once up to speed, it really felt good.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
Yeah thats a lot better mate and she seems to fly more true now ;-) well i'm glad you got her all sorted out and i had no doubts that you would Dave,5*

Glad you got the bugger flying Dave, but I gotta ask.........was it really worth the effort? Not for me I'm afraid, and I am a Brit so I love Spitfires. Great vid anyways.

Honestly Dave, you are being way too nice about this plane. It's a piece of crap out of the box, and I think you have the right to say so!!!
KaldekBoch 2 years ago
I did, and in the first video too. But, I own it, so I had to see if I could modify it to fly well, and I did.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
I'm don't know Dave...I think that any plane that comes "RTF" and is not actually able to be flown should just be binned. So many people love watching your videos that I think polishing turds like these sends the wrong message to manufacturers of planes. Would it not be better to hear which alternative Spitfire models are a better choice?
KaldekBoch 2 years ago
I doubt that many people would buy it if they watch this, so polishing turds as you say, is simply me doing what I can to make things fly, no matter the odds. My challenge. And maybe you ought to watch the first video.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
It's OK Dave - I'm not trying to abuse you! I even watched the first video beforehand. I suppose I have had the impression over the years that you were being sponsored by Nitroplanes.
KaldekBoch 2 years ago
Polishing turds, LOL! That's a great one! I wonder if Der Stuff would do well with that? It works great on everything else!LOL. Great job as always, Dave. You da man!

Can you move the battery to the nose where you added the weight? Nice mods.
hbk2flyer 2 years ago
Nope, or I would have. The ESC is right behind the motor and needs air. The clay would not fit. I tried though. lol Thanks.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
Goodw work, know over to the factory to hopefully redeign it so it will fly properly and still look like a Spitfire.

ericdamexican 2 years ago
Looks like a major improvement of what it was before, but it would have been nice to see incremental changes rather than a bunch at once to see if taking the silly scale details off the bottom of the wing would have fixed some of the issues, although it probably still would have needed additional weight on the nose.

Weight was most important, and the rest fine tuned it.

WOW! The difference in flight between this video and the last are astounding. In this video, it actually looks very realistic when it's up in the air. Nice job Dave! I am slightly disappointed with NitroPlanes lack of response, because they are a distributor I like to use when purchasing planes. I would be very interested to know if you get a response from them, as I would like to add this plane to my collection, but am not looking forward to all the mods.
bigtoyota479 2 years ago 2
I am disappointed too about no response. Maybe they are busy. Thanks for the comments.
NightFlyyer 2 years ago
wow. it looks great in the air! to bad you had to do all of the mods just to make it fly tho. you know us northern boys need planes that can handle wind. i think you need to try a flying wing or something like the parkzone stryker ( im sure eric would have something good to say about that plane) got any more slope videos in the works? im sure that hill would be blowing hard now that the trees are starting to thin out
mxf7010g8k 2 years ago
HAHA. Well before I put a new esc in, I did consider using it as a slope soarer. The winds have to blow out of the south for the only hill in Iowa to work, and those winds arent really common. Stay tuned, though.
