Hobby-Lobby EF2000 eRC EuroFighter Typhoon - 90mm - MAIDEN FLIGHT

[TheSaltysack]

last pic was prtty gay ;lol

[robraver]

A couple of us where I live are very interested in this type of model, we dont want the cheapy type model that probably wont cope with a breeze. Nitro is expensive and hard to freight...way too expensive for what it is..otherwise ducted fan could have been an option. I have a Trex 450 heli, always been impressed with its flight time per pack.

Checked out Hobby Lobby, sold out of the Eurofighter for now :) but will keep my eye on this

We have real Eurofighters stationed here on the Islands btw.

[robraver]

I have a fair bit of experience with different prop planes and helis, am looking at a Grumania Eurofighter turbine. Just wonder if the EDF route would be a good alternative. Would certainly be the cheaper option, whats your opinion of the fan unit, ESC etc...quite good qaulity?

[RCRedBaron]

@robraver : I have to admit, This is by far, the best Foam EDF jet I've ever flown. And I own a ton of Foam EDF jets. You can hear the awesome sound of the EDF unit. I've had zero issues with any of the electronics and the plane just flys amazing! Since flying this jet at the field, All of the other EDF pilots there have bought one and they too find it to be their best Foam EDF jet in their fleet as well. And it just looks awesome! An A++++ from me for sure!

[robraver]

What strength breeze can this plane fly in? quite like the idea of an EDF jet, thinking of getting into turbines...but a nice EDF unit would be nice.

[RCRedBaron]

@robraver : I've flown mine in 15 mph winds before. Don't make this your 1st EDF jet though unless you are already a very experienced pilot with all types of planes. EDF's handle much differently, especially this one as it's heavy. Thanks for commenting and the question!

[MustangMs2008]

Just love those German planes you fly so well. When are U going to have some Digfights ? Chopper Bob

[pooh466]

I would like to know if you tested the CG of this bird because i just got one and i haven't flought it yet, i got a 4000 mah 6s battery and i test it where it says that the CG is, the nose is really heavy. in what positiion did u put it?

Thank you

[RCRedBaron]

@pooh466 : I use 2 3cell 5000mah lipos in series. I put them on their side and in the stock place. My CG comes out a tad nose heavy, but I prefer this jet being that way. But it's only a tad nose heavy. Unfortunately, you really dont have much choice of moving the batt around.

[vmhorne]

So you ran (2) 3s 5000mah for a total 6s 10000mah? How much did that throw your CG off? nice handling, BTW. This may be my second EDF real soon!

[RCRedBaron]

@vmhorne : I put 2 3cell 5000mah wired in Series. This created a 6cell 5000mah. Didnt effect the CG at all really. Flew great. Just in case, I'll go over the series vs parallel. Put batteries in Series combines the Voltage but not the MAH. Put Batts in Parallel and it combines the MAH, but not the Voltage. Thanks for the question and good luck with yours! You'll love it!

[rctrance]

I really like the one you have can you still buy the one you ordered as I think your looks more realistic any info would be great thank you

[RCRedBaron]

@rctrance : The pilot I have in there came with one of my other planes. And try as I might, I just can't seem to remember which one it came with. But my best guess is that it came with my Twin 66mm A-10 from Banana Hobby. If I am remembering correctly, I didnt use it in that jet because it simply didnt fit and I never did understand why they sent that pilot with that jet.

[RCRedBaron]

@rctrance : Sending you a PM about the pilot.

[rctrance]

hi i just ordered one of these and was wondering if the pilot you have in your is the one that came with it??

[RCRedBaron]

@rctrance : My Pilot is not the one that comes with the jet. I ordered this one when it first came out, so it didnt come with a pilot yet. Later, Hobby-Lobby sent me the pilot for it. they look very similar though.

[h4ydn2008]

This plane is a beast does it have thrust vectoring ?

[RCRedBaron]

@h4ydn2008 : Yes, it has Thrust Vectoring, Working Canards, retracts, nav lights, and a sweet 90mm EDF power plant. Runs off 6cells 5000mah. Thanks for the question and view!

[h4ydn2008]

@RCRedBaron your welcome it looooks AMAZING

[bassax7045]

wauw , wat a smooth scale landing that was ,,congratulations

[calllumcool1]

that is great i love it how hard is it to get it to land???

[Kennerdahl]

I love this EDF, got one shipped to me right now.. lots of upgrades to: neu motor, schuebeler edf, MG-servos and lots more.. Instead of the original 89 oz trust I'll get 115 oz.. Can't wait to fly this puppy! : )

[TAKTEZ]

How hard was it to mount the batteries in the series? Arent they slightly bigger then the ones they reccommend? Interested as Im thinking about getting one! :)

[RCRedBaron]

@TAKTEZ : I had to lay the large 5000mah lipos on their side next to each other and then sand out some of the foam from the underside of the canopy hatch. It wasnt difficult at all. Thanks for the great question and viewing.

[wesleyweber10]

how long does it take to be that good and to not crash the first time you fly it?

[RCRedBaron]

@wesleyweber10 : There is no right answer to that question. However, you can do things to reduce the chance of a crash on first flight. 1. Start practicing for many many hours on a Simulator. Like Real Flight or Phoenix. 2. Pick a beginner plane for your first flight. LIke the HobbyZone Super Cub. 3. Fly with an experienced pilot and possibly on a buddy box system.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

awww bigpuppy, if im a dick,,, THEN SUCK ME!!! lookie lookie, ol red has a friend.. lololol How Pathetic. hey you two gals have a nice lifr together...

[bigdawg8970]

DUDE YOU HAVE AN AWSOME WEBSITE! I JUST CAME FROM THERE, DUDE!

[RCRedBaron]

@bigdawg8970 : Thanks man! I'm still working on it. Right in the middle of coding the site, youtube changed too much of their style, so I had to go back and re-write code.  But, it's getting there... Thanks again!

[bigdawg8970]

nice jet baron!

[RCRedBaron]

@bigdawg8970 : Thank you Sir! Much appreciated.

[bigdawg8970]

berry your a dick!!!!!!

[BerryM6162]

WOW Ol Red Told me!! Have a happy day there Ol red.

[BerryM6162]

to RCRedBaron... why would I ever want to give money to some lame dipwads that have to "Pretend" that there military pilots that are flying for the greater good? Yes I do enjoy the Hobby very much so, but its Dipwads like you that have to go to the extreme that I dont get! and all i was saying is, There in no way that I would use a runway like that one for my EXPENSIVE Plane. and the only ODD is You Red!! Now do you GET IT???

[RCRedBaron]

@BerryM6162 : Oh good lord little boy, whats the matter? Tosh Tongue Punch your momma's Fart Box and now you're all pissy about it?? Get off your soap box, stop whining about crap you obviously know absolutely nothing about. Go back on youtube when you are out of puberty young boy.

[bigdawg8970]

@BerryM6162 dick!

[BerryM6162]

first, you really need a beeter runway,,, and second, why does everyone have to taxi there plane to the tarmack when its just easier to carry it there??? hmmm go figure.

[RCRedBaron]

@BerryM6162 : Are you volunteering to donate the money to the club to have them re-pave it?? And, if you have to ask why taxi, then it just cant be explained...You have to just get it. Just like any other hobby man. Dont question the odd, just enjoy the show... :)

[00Tachikoma00]

nice model!!

[tastyseabass]

Excellent flight video! Would you be able to post a video with the transmitter visible and the jet from the rear so it would be possible to see stick movement (in all directions / slow) as the control surfaces are moving? I think a lot of people would appreciate this as a final check to ensure setup is correct. Thank you very much!

@chiavernwei : I think you sir!

[BROOKLYNDREAMS]

[Ispintechno1]

AWESOME! You really owned that for a maiden flight, congrats on the excellent EDF and excellent flying.

[pavcon]

Thumbs Up ") btw BananaHobby did an SU47 flight review. I'm waiting for urs also to tell us how much flying time you get and if it's a nose heavy plane out of the box

[pavcon]

YES BABY... ACES HIGH BY MAIDEN... NICE ... in fact... PEEERFECT SONG...

[RCRedBaron]

@pavcon : I've been holding back on using that song for just the right plane. Then this beauty came along.

[EliteGamer2009]

@RCRedBaron Hey, I'm thinking about starting to build and fly planes, Any recommendations to start off with?

[RCRedBaron]

@EliteGamer2009 : Great question. I get asked that question alot, so on my website, I set up a special page just for that question. It's full of ideas, suggestions and the like. In the video description above, you'll find a link to my website. Once on my site, you'll easily see the title "How to choose your first plane". Read over that, and if you still have questions, Shoot me an email. Thanks for watching.

[TheFastRacer1]

bischen wakelig,ist schade!

[RCRedBaron]

@TheFastRacer1 : I got "Little wakelig is a pity". Whats a Wakelig?

[TheFastRacer1]

@RCRedBaron

I meant this video, unfortunately, is taken up worriedly.

[mach7rc]

That was awesome great flight!!!!

[RCRedBaron]

@mach7rc : Thanks man! I was nervous before take off, but once she was in the air, she really handled great! Look goood too!

[popcornreviews]

LOL at 6:44

''Hmmm im late for dinner and im SOOO hungry... no one will notice...surley...'''

LOL

Looks like she flew great!

is this the mandalay place you were telling me about?

[RCRedBaron]

@popcornreviews : Hey Sam, thanks for the comment. She did fly great. The Dirt field is Mandalay. This field with the hardtop runway is the old RC WORLD club, now called East Orlando RC Park.

[popcornreviews]

@RCRedBaron Do you go there often?

Do you need an ama membership to fly there?

[RCRedBaron]

@popcornreviews : It is an AMA field, so you have to be a member of the Club and carry an AMA membership. I have both. I go here and there, no real schedule, just when the wind takes me...:)

[photobart1]

I forgot to mention nice plane and nice flight.

[RCRedBaron]

@photobart1 : Thanks man! Appreciate the viewing and comment!

[photobart1]

I have the Hobby Lobby F-35. Same color of plane. Sometimes I lose orintation with both top and bottom being the same color and with a hazy sky. I put a yellow checkerboard strip on top of both wings. It worked great with my orintation.

[vetterman008]

Cockpit is awesome!

[RCRedBaron]

@vetterman008 : I loved it too! Best looking cockpit on an ARF foam EDF jet I've seen yet.

[TinkerManRC]

Robert

Looking good looking good, She did real well I'm very Impressed,The flight characteristics look awesome another fine airplane to the fleet,, 5*

[RCRedBaron]

@TinkerManRC : Thanks Tim! She really is a good looking jet. I was really impressed with the flight ability of this one! Super Smooth 90mm EDF jet thats for sure!

[helicop99]

LIKE

[RCRedBaron]

@helicop99 : Thanks!

[BrotherBloat]

what a brilliant plane indeed! nice landing too!!

[RCRedBaron]

@BrotherBloat : Thanks man! I love watching that landing over and over. I was really impressed on her float in ability being as heavy as she is.

[bloodhound122]

just SICKSICK AWESOME!!!! she looked great ,great flying too baron! when is the dusk flight happening so we get to watch the awesome lights in action ?? cockpit details are really good to --- so what is it now 5thumbs lol lol

[RCRedBaron]

@bloodhound122 : LOL. thanks man! I know, I got to get out at Twilight so I can see those lights!  I miss the stars ratings too.

[rcplanes1234]

Very cool!!!

[RCRedBaron]

@rcplanes1234 : Thanks!!!

[HangarX1]

amazing

[youtwoba]

Very cool deal Robert, gonna have to put that one on the list! Looks like it flew well, how could it not with all that wing area though.lol. Can't wait to see it do some tricks! I'll have to stop back when the quality comes up!

[RCRedBaron]

@youtwoba : It'll be one of your favorite 90mm to fly. And you'll love the feel of the conards. I have to figure out how to get the TV to move just a bit more. Not sure if there is enough deflection to get into some super tight flips or not. But, I'll be finding out soon enough! Thanks Tom for the viewing and comment!
