[theRydog21]

what size prop are you using?



[nighthawk0077]

what should the cg be?

[nibnobsam]

@nighthawk0077 CG is correct in the instructions

[theRydog21]

does it take standard or micro size servos?

[flyingphoenix113]

Yes, it can fly 3D. It has low wing loading and moderate wing rock. This video is not at all 3D though. Josh Bixler couldn't fly 3D for his life!

[lolziloveminecraft]

@flyingphoenix113 what do you mean, by 3D?

[DestructoXxShaunxX]

@lolziloveminecraft I knw you are asking someone else but 3D means you can do AMAZING stunts e.g. walls,knife-edges ect

[lolziloveminecraft]

@DestructoXxShaunxX ok! Thanks!

[danielderbruchpilot]

Can I fly very hard 3D mannovers with it?

Love your reviews!!

All the best!

Daniel

[toolbaggers]

shame on you for taking enjoyment in tormenting birds

[arthurrdz]

hey do i choose a 30c or a 35c Battery?

[flitestfan]

you guys are awesome :)

i bought a dolphin micro glider still coming, iam a beginnner like josh

[Kjetilaf]

Hey guys ! Could you put a link to everything you put in the plane?

esc, motor, lipo and servoes ?

thanks for greats videos btw :)

[TempleClause1]

could you give links to the parts u used ?

Cheers!

[BestUsernameEverMade]

Ive never flown a 3d Airplane....

...

3d is something ive taken on new this year..

[firemansorel]

hi guys!! it would be fun for us, that you tell us exactly what you put on this aircraft, lypo model, esc,engin...... a want to know all detail so i could buy the same stuff you used for this bird!!! thank you and keep doing your very good job guys..

[rimfire72]

no matter how good this plane is, if it will not be on stock in your online shop, it's nothing. hobby king has low credibility so far.

[mq1506]

C'mon you can add a little criticism and hobbyking will still like you

[3DDabbler]

Or it is just referred to as a wall. No one really says wall to hover. It would be interesting to see someone that knows how to fly 3D fly the plane. It would be nice to see how it handles KE Spins, Harrier Rolls, Harrier Loops etc.

[3DDabbler]

Great video guys! I think the name Josh was looking for is Wall to Hover. A snap to hover is a snap roll straight into hovering. A wall is a where you are flying straight and level and pull back while chopping throttle simultaneously to make essentially a right angle. Then you apply throttle to hover.

[Trentaur]

Seems like the right wing needs some shrinking on the filmcover.

[crbonensor]

What parts did you use for the plane? You said something about the info on the filtest website but, where and when? Thanks for the great show

[RcTinCan]

@"1st 3-D airplane ever flown" Isnt the Techone angel a 3-D plane?

[redhotpearl1]

Nice video as always. I have a DX8 too. Are you using DSMX? OR DSM2? I recently upgraded to DSMX and so far so good on my Hexa.

[petedaws]

We call then Landing Gear over here!

[WSRebel2]

what is the power system in ther, i know what the battery is but tell me what motor/esc please

[stompmaster]

@WSRebel2 It's listed up top in their review text.

Specifications:

Wing Span: 48.8in (1240mm)

Wing area: 30sq.dm Length: 48in (1220mm)

Flying weight: 1200g

Radio Required: 4Ch

Servo: 4 x 9g (Required)

ESC: 60A (Required)

Motor: 35xx to 42xx Series Brushless Outrunner (Required)

Battery: 3000mAh 3S~4s (Required)

[stevossnz]

@stompmaster That's just the recommended kit taken directly from the HK website. What we want to know is what power system the Flitetest crew have actually put into it. Josh hints in the video that they have gone a bit over the top. He also says they will tell us on "the website" exactly what they've used. I'd also like to know what power system has gone into this Edge

[bluefisherking]

Thanks for the review, I have been looking at that plane for a while but am concerned about how much construction work is needed to assemble this kit. So how long/how difficult was it?

(Perhaps you could even do a short video on that?)

[mrkmotocross]

what setup are you running?



[Alleswasspassmacht]

we need more of theese chicks in these videos

[OWLLwisdom]

Hi Starsky & Hatch

With this hatch clip the you might loose the name Hatch.

[CrackerMcGillicuddy]

you guys just stumbled upon a radical concept - fill a plane with helium to save weight.

[martijnvangene]

I really like your shows guys, but that plane looks more like an Extra 300 to me instead of an Edge... Don't you think?

Keep those shows coming!!!

[Slayer10000000000]

wow, came in a little hot there josh!

[steinarhugi]

Great show guys! What motor are you running in it? I can't find it in the description.

[RCFlightReview]

great review guys!,Keep up the good work:)

Wish they will start stocking these in US wearhouse altough they added tons of stuff to US wearhouse

[ThisisTheShady]

Great show guys, looks like a cool plane...

[shelviahall]

Great job, you guys!

[shelviahall]

Yep, he said herd, not hurt.

[AcceptGift]

how dare you Josh to say 'hurt birds with it'. Wildlife should be looked after so don't encourage the public to hurt birds with propeller chop.

[ap0lmc]

@AcceptGift he said herd

[Airman17054]

Good advertisement!

We want to hear about what is wrong with parts of the plane and what you didn't like about it, no plane is ever perfect.

The problem about you being sponsored by HK is that A) almost all of the reviews are HK orientated B) all the HK sponsored reviews are more like advertisements therefore should be called advertisements.

Don't get me wrong HK have their place but i would like to see other stuff being REVIEWED and even when you do HK product how about a nice REVIEW.

[Airman17054]

Flite test in my view has lost some of its credibility in relation to RC product because of all of the advertisements.

More constrictive criticism and problems you find and less ADVERTISEMENTS!

[kpopRC]

@Airman17054 the amount of time in production, they have to make a buck! if you only knew how much their experience and knowledge of video production is worth! if they are putting out 2 of these a week that's at least 20hours of work.. if anything maybe you should click the adds to support their team!

[Airman17054]

@kpopRC, I was not in any way bagging or discrediting Flitetest. I was pointing out the fact that due to the input from HK the videos do not tend to be as good as they were at the beginning and seem to be advertising HK products. Some constructive Criticism and problems that were found with the plane wouldn't go astray for any potential consumer.

[kpopRC]

@Airman17054 these guys are trying to make a living by making rc videos. these aren't windows movie maker consumer videos. your gonna have to deal with the fact that this is the only way to make it worth while for them. the equipment alone in production 3 dslrs, zoom audio, boom mic. cost more money then they probably ever made with adsence. atleast HK will send them planes for free for review. probably the only thing they get! it's shitty when people complain about great work. good job flitetes

[Airman17054]

@kpopRC don't get me wrong I am not complaining, and do enjoy most of they make. I was just pointing out what seems to have become more of a common theme in the videos.

[ap0lmc]

So many planes and stuff are out of stock this is really frustrating.

[Fra42below]

amazing plane and good job guys, you keep producing the best RC videos on youtube.

i would buy the edge 540 if they sold it in some kind of RTF version, since i hate building anything larger than 1 foot, lol. come on HK, RTF is the way to go.

[bongose]

I like!

good work guys

[StankoPerko]

Hi!

Great scenery and nice plane too.

Keep those videos coming.

Greets from Slovenia.

[mipi808]

Nice video as usually. However if it's a review, I'd like to hear also some cons. Now it's more like infomercial.

[vfatnuts]

can you do one on a yak 39" i keep on crashing mine.....It goes about 5 feet up and then it nose dives in the ground >>>>

[mzfckr993]

@vfatnuts sounds like horrible CG, if you dont know what CG is then you shouldnt been flying that plane

[vfatnuts]

@mzfckr993 yes i know what the CG and i have been flying planes for a long time smart ass LOL...The trims and CG are nice and level

[flitetest]

@vfatnuts Yes, it sounds like your center of gravity is way off. Have you seen the Balancing Your Plane episode?

[aratidwell]

Guys you either gotta learn how to fly better, find a new business... or bring in some real pilots

[OuchIAteMyself]

@aratidwell It's probably important that their skills match closely to the majority of potential customers - that makes it easier for the viewer to forecast what their experience would be like if they were to purchase the products in the videos.

[aratidwell]

@OuchIAteMyself

Dude this video reminds me of the guy in Tulsa that bought a 50cc Extreme Flight Yak and never flies it upside down... Man it is a 3d plane watching some 3d would be nice. Most people that buy planes like that can fly a little more advanced than in this video so I really don't think it represents the average customer of that aircraft type.

[eastcoast78]

@aratidwell Blahhh blahhh Blahhhh SOme people just like too complain....

[aratidwell]

*** You guys need to change your name to "Hobby King Flite Test *** this product looks OK but this HK stuff is putting yal'll in the garbage bin like most HK junk

[argat11]

You forgot to say what motor and speed controller you installed on it! May we know what are those, please? Yes, exactly those you used for this video!

[vannatta20]

Wow great landing around the barriers! Nice flying as well. Thanks for another great vid!

[grtomnick]

hi guys, excellent flight with a very nice plane that i'm interested in. Could you please give us the exact set up of the plane (motor, ESC, prop, battery). Keep up the good work.

Thanks in advance.

[iflybythebook2]

@grtomnick YES! and we need the EXACT set up please!!! down to every last detail!!!

[UtRadioGuy]

Really dark video I mean.

[UtRadioGuy]

The video is reallt dark on this video.

[UtRadioGuy]

Does HK have a combo kit with everything but the TX & RX?

[BlueBirdMartin]

Maybe easier to hunt birds if it comes with machineguns?

[m4l4ch1]

I can watch it here in Germany. I can´t believe it! ;)

Another great review. Thank you!

[startazz]

I'm not into 3D planes but that one not only looked the part but seem to fly it as well,great job boys and thumbs up.

[bigadd43]

yeah we call them landing gear as well buddy.

[RCFlightPlan]

Nice looking plane, looks like it handles good. I love how much power you packed into that thing. Nice flyin btw.

[wippo76]

nice plane

will be out of stock in minutes

[godofarchitecture]

Best show yet and I'm not even that into 3d planes. Keep up the great work. Cheers

[mangelwicawica]
