@davesofresh84 No. It is too heavy and you can not hold it correctly. The propeller is also dangerous. But it flies nicely even with the included fixed landing gear.
Hey guys, can I ask, if you have a moment, is there any chance you could show how easy is is to hand launch this model as most of our flying fields here in the UK are grass, so landing gear is a no-no on a model like this...
5 minutes of flight time.. good job Horizon, you figured out we don't need more than 5min of flight then we go to bed and have nice dreams, huh? How much do you charge for that piece of foam, Horizon? Or should we call you Horizon Tycoon? ;)
Awesome video as always, but if you're going to waffle on about how good someone else demos something, please provide a link in your description, I'm too lazy to scour the tube!!! :)
to Josh Scott: I want to see you fly the real Carbon Z....Yak 54 :)
to Josh Bixler: you said QuiQue's name right!
one thing guys you should have recommended is to fly this plane only from smooth surface runways, as you saw the skid and rudders touched the ground on take off. I have 2 videos on my channel of two failed attempts taking off from a gravel runway. the prop is too close to the ground and its a mess when it breaks in pieces damaging the rudders
Hobbyking is doing great Budget planes, but now after 2 years since i am more into RC I have more budget and Eflite is the second stage. Very nice looking plane.
Another nice video, watch them every week. I own a stryker f27q, pretty much same thing without landing gear and thrust vectoring, and half the price for pnp.
I have a lot of Horizon stuff. It is all over priced. It is also made in China just like HobbyKing and NitroPlanes stuff. I buy it because that's all my local hobby shop caries. I have 4 blade helicopters they are all sub standard . Horizon always releases their products before they work out the problems..i am sure i will continue to buy horizon products but i will wait until they fix the problems and drop the prices. $300+ for foam. Come on!!
to Michael: I absolutely loved "The United" i sense that you to had Lynch and Finscher as a source of inspiration. You should do a fpv movie in this similair style, in an abandonded building or church or somethig like that with an epic score.
Suggestion: do more extra-ordinary things! "Go & buy" is not interesting anymore! Like, for example, everybody is talking about Turnigy 9X remote with custom eth0's firmware, but there are so little videos about it! I have one - it is faaaar more advanced than most brand remotes (even Spectrum!!) with new firmware! Just my idea....
You have some of the coolest RC videos out there. I mean I could do what you do as far as information, but making it this entertaining would be impossible for me.
I see you're using a quadcopter to film this model from the air. (Or possibly a small tricopter) Nice!

Is the prop ballanced? The Carbon z Yak prop was way out of balance which caused the motor mount to break.
