  • is it worth buying form bananhobby?

  • @yuuto3333 maybe but its on backorder at the moment but you can buy the same thing from hobbyking and cheaper and its in stock but will be gone soon.

  • @yuuto3333 no they scam u and theyre customer service sucks. dont believe then buy something ur self

  • hey pete nice review. ive ordered one and i love planes especially the f111 pig and rc

  • what a voice! human version of bugs bunny

  • i have this plane its Awesome lol i got the brushed version i am currently savin up for brushless one lol :-)

  • Crap plane. Links come off easily and the horns are a joke, doesn't lock the other side.

  • @oysterlicker then solder the links... geesh such a simple problem fixed aslong as it doesnt get crashed by a shit pilot like u probably are.

  • i have never had a plane. is this a good beginning plane?and does the transmitter and battery come with it?

  • @THENAGY13 everything comes with this plane. i would reccomend the bixler from hobbyking. $30 cheaper and i comes with a brushless motor with no extra cost

  • i have never had a plane. is this a good beginning plane?

  • Copy Nr.: XXX from the Easy Star (+Ailerons)  -.-

    Why not an "ES" with "EGP" Wings and as a pusher?

    Maybe with two Motors Like the TwinStar!

    Beginners and FPV pilots would love it!

    We need something NEW!

    Not just a Copy of "Good old Things"!

    THX & M.f.G.: Ich-se

  • I received this kit with the motor mounted crooked, it points to the left, how do i correct this with out breaking the housing its in, since its all one foam mold connected to the fuselage?

  • @VannHerrenDesigns usually the motors will point a bit to the left or right to counter the rotational force caused by the propeller itself...dunno if that's the case with yours, but check it out

  • I would regain control of the plane, but leave it on its original course of hitting the ground.

    No I didn't let the plane hit the ground, I was trying to teach my old man a lesson.

    Anyway irony wins. If he had lived this long he would have had to buy a computer just to watch all the awesome stuff on YouTube.

  • My dad would have hated this world if he had lived this long. Firstly he hated computers with a vengeance. But he also strongly disapproved of pre-built model aircraft. His theory was if you built the plane yourself, you would know how to fix it when you crash it.

    I just wanted to fly the fucking thing, not build it.

    He was a hopeless pilot. He would actually look down at his fingers to see if the plane was doing what he was doing, then hand back the transmitter when the crash was imminent.

  • go pete!

  • @FionnWithaGunHaHa id like to see u try that

  • Buy the $44.00 kit, stick a Grayson MicroJet v3 combo for $35.00, add your battery and electronic and Fly !!!! Plenty of You Tube videos to help you and guys out there will give you good suggetions to get you going. I guess I am one of the lucky ones who did get what I ordered from BH. They did ship my SkySurfer right away and was received in great shap..

  • @Tunz2cruzby That's the expensive way to do it! Just get the kit and add $10 for the brushless upgrade. I use a 40amp esc, 3s 20c 2200mah pack and an APC 6X5.5 prop. It takes off from the grass and can climb vertical for as long as you can point it skyward. The stock brushless motor is pretty damn good for $10! Take a look at my channel to see some of the videos I have taken with mine! Great little plane and my training/ onboard camera workhorse...

  • Just bought this plane! How does it work to use 3CH instead of 4CH like you said?

  • their 50% less than a mall. Do your home work!!!

  • lol 4:25 forgets remote lol

  • this is like the dynam hawk sky

  • Reenforce leading ages, nose and bottom of this plane with some kind of lamination film (aka DocuLam), sticky tape (e.g. 3M) or with carbon-fiber / glass-fiber + epoxy glue and You'll get forever young and crush resistant bird. And remove additional weight in nose section (metal washers) for extra payload (it can carry from nano to medium size (1-100g) video cam, FPV stuff, Autopilot electronics and / or 2000-4000 mAh 3S battery with easy). Enjoy this little bustard! :)

  • Great plane for beginners or FPV pilots. I have one from BH. Strongly recommended! Just add Waco strap for easy wing remove / attache (do not glue them).

  • Hey, its a wanna-be Toni from Nitroplanes.

  • @jhamster1 well it is the same field that nitroplanes flys

  • @yittymitty11 It looked familier. Thanks.

  • Guys stop being cocks he brings the best reviews altho not honest at times he is just doing his job.

  • Gliders can get higher without a motor. Many dont know this.

  • I like you vid you should in clued the pride$

  • @mickman2113 If you have ears, you should listen. He said the price is $140.00.

  • Peice of shit don't I got mine the range sucks and when I ordered.

  • @dinoserchiken what do you mean by the range sucks?

  • My name is ryan and this sky surfer was a gift but it is a wast of my time if you are even considering buying this l

  • I just received mine. Why doesn't mine say Blitzworks on it? Mine came from JPOWER??? Instruction manual not very clear. Not very RTF for a begginer like your website states. It is not "RTF out of the package" like you say on this video. It takes quite a while to get ready! Especially for a beginner.

  • ThE Hawk Sky is BEttEr!

  • I'd get 2 minutes out of that thing before it gets stuck in a tree for 6 months or it explodes into about twenty pieces.

  • Chinese scum! Why did you deceive people??

  • or get an easystar with 2 servos and a motor from multiplex for 90$ and don't deal with these scammers ;)

  • Are these planes available yet?

  • this guy is such a fag

  • @ebutuoy1324354657687 it's obvious.

  • just one question, lets say i crash and snap a wing or worse the fuselage, can i buy parts sepratly

  • @xoxbamfan yes parts are avaliable

  • The thing really is easy to fly and terribly stable. The brushless version has a huge rate of climb and you have to think about keeping it from getting higher than you'd want.

  • ahh! its the guy from hangover!!

  • How can you possibly make something that's so cool that boring?

  • My outrunner power planes used to snap plastic props about every 3rd flight. I always could tell the prop was being stressed by the resonance you can hear when the motor is reved up.  (just like in this video) You might eventually have to go with a carbon fiber prop. Can you see the prop bend when goose it?

  • I LOLED from 5:57 to 6:15

  • If i buy this, then it is my first rc plane and if bananahobby helps me with this, i will continue to support bananahobby

  • Someone help me pls - I wanna buy this plane online and it costs 99.90 but i live in singapore and the cheapest shipping fee to my country is 64.90 on bananahobby(dot)com and i wouldnt wanna pay USD 164.80 for it... Is there any way cheaper i could get this plane at? Help me guys pls reply... =((

  • @BlazeOutcast

    didnt you read the comment above ? DONT BUY FROM THIS SITE.. if u are from singapore it's way cheaper to get stuff there because in Asia thats where most of the stuff are made. This plane in China would cost like 50 dollars max. So just search around at China sites

  • @zero00tolerance Your ass its cheaper in singapore... A made in china bootlegged plane here costs 230 SGD and And i trust that this plane is wayyy more durable than planes here.. Easy to say, rc planes are not popular here and rc planes here are expensive and shitty.

  • @BlazeOutcast ok what i dont understand is... im trying to help u and u telling comparing my ass is cheaper in singapore ????? ?!?!?!?!?? got some issue there buddy anyways...yes this plane is very cheap and durable worth to buy

  • @zero00tolerance Ok im sorry for being mean but SG is nowhere near china and this country is a sovereign country with a very high population density so most things are not made from here.

  • @BlazeOutcast u will have to suck it up and buy it for 165 dollars...its worth it ! but.. expect crash...i wasted many airplanes already 1000 dollars worth of it since i started this hobby ... and i still dont know how to fly... LOL .. im better in helicopters...

  • @zero00tolerance Wth... Thats a lot of money went to the bin...

  • @BlazeOutcast still looking for it? singapore buddy!

  • How do you know when lipo is getting near low voltage. Bad stuff happens when you discharge a lipo too much

  • Hi Pete, nice flying. I can attest the capabilities of this glider, I tried loops n rolls a couple days ago and it flies really well. Great vid.

  • can someone please tell me the song that plays in the begining slide show before he actually starts?

  • um, hawksky rip off much?

  • ive seen this plane on sale for 80 dollars... man this is a rip off!

  • save your money and buy the new brushless Multiplex Easystar.. This site is a scam

  • Ajrestivo your dumb I don't know if you know this but he's outside and it's windy he kinda has to yell.

  • i wouldnt believe him just because he dosent stop yelling

  • I'm actually looking to get one of these, ... I'm sick and tired of Helicopters, ... Air Planes are so much more flexible, and highly customizable. Yeah sure, Helicopters can hover, WOW.. Planes can fly faster, longer, and carry more people.

  • ...To us, as individual customers well we dont have choice but either buy or not buy and whether bare the risk ourselves or not/ paid the money and ENGAGE INTO THE LUCKY DRAW OR NOT!? YOUR PICK! SO..GOOD LUCK GUYS AND GALS!

  • Their business (not only BHs) practice is a kind of dumping acitivities in which what they focus on is quantity not quality cos these re with cheap prices and hence narrow dumping profit margin they hv. Thats why on the one hand they keep up launching new products to sustain their business running, on the other hand they've been attempting to balance customers interest so as not to loose their own interest...

  • This a an incredibly easy aircraft to fly. I just did my first fly and it went extremely well. I have some criticisms about the aircraft but they have to be in context. The manual is not good. Not well written. Picture 3 has the servo installed backward, beware. The pushrod connectors that come will fail, you need to get Dubro ez connectors at a hobby shop instead. Having said that great EPO foam, great wing, great motor, great esc. It flies great. My FMS training made me fly flawlessly

  • Ordering from Banana Hobby was not a problem, it was my first time and I didn't have any problems with their service or shipping. I fly the brushless set up with the Sky Surfer and it works just fine. The plane is fun to fly and I get plenty of compliments from experienced flyiers regarding the planes charaterstics. I love Banana Hobby, I love Sky Surfer, I am not an employee or representitice of Banana Hobby. I am just some dude who likes ot fly planes. Viva la Banana Hobby.

  • @1BUTTT This kind of lucky experience may not still be that for anyone who attempt to have further orders cos these re from Mass production not tailor-made OR just to hv further trying and then can figure out it...of course not all the products are defective

  • @ulric291 Yep it does look the same but believe me the electronics are CHEAP and CRAP!

  • Has anyone ever ordered a plane from Canada? msg me if you have please!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • grossly overpowered, and not a glider, it dive as soon as the motor stop, he actually never glide it, ain't suspicious one bit...

  • what is the song of this called ?

    And realy great video.

  • Does the plane need wind to fly?

  • My pet mouse made a good pilot and then he started eating the plane.

  • @bananahobby hey Pete, good job with all the reviews! Just ignore those idiots who keep on bullying you whenever they get a chance. They only do it cuz they r stupid, mean spirited, lifeless haters who attack you when they get a chance. Look forward to seeing more great reviews, keep it up!

  • I want this, can someone testify if this is realy a scam?

  • is this really a scam?

  • 1:01 - "She spans" because he cant get a girlfriend because hes in love with remote controll planes.

  • THIS VIDEO START AT 05:03

  • are you that asian from the hangover?

  • STOP CALLING IT SHE YOU FAGOT!

  • video stalls too much

  • @ronsxclub then ur internet sucks, just like mine does.. wait till it if fully downloaded then play if u dont like stalling vid....

  • I've played a lot of video games that are very similar to the flight simulators I'm thinking this is a nice thing to buy and use when I go outside for once.

  • thumbs up if you think this dudes voice makes you wanna commit suicide.

  • If you do not lik the BANANA PLANE, then why you baying from them? What a crap are you?

  • FUCK YOU

  • Pinnacle , can spot that editing software a mile off, cool planes btw

  • well, even if the plane looks great, that host is still cussing annoying, and that silly little GWS prop is WAY too thin. non to mention all these other comme...complaints about customer service. Franky I'd rather pay the overpriced shipping from HobbyKing than try anything with Banana Hobby, because if you email them, they respond.

  • You Fuck On Meee... why does this guy look like the hangover guy that jumps out of the boot

  • i always knew something queer about this banana site... especially that Philipino dude... im asian and i dont like him lol

  • Everybody down on the banana.  Jeesh....

  • gaaay

  • they are a huge rip off!!!!!!!!!!!it said it was 90 percent made but i had to put together everything!!!!the remote,battery,and charger all weren't in the box!!!!!!!!!!and the motor doesn't even fit in the hole where it suppose to be!!!!!!there's nothing to put in the front of the plane!!!!!!!!

  • You would think after years of poor customer service, they would try to improve. People still continue to buy.

  • i was wondering how the plane was gona land with no wheels lol.

  • Don't buy from this company

    No customer support. THEY SELL JUNK.

    Take your money and burn it one bill at a time. You'll have more fun that way.

  • Thumbs up if you skipped to 5:05

    

  • damn i hoped that the plane shot stuff /:

  • skip to 5:00 to see fly

  • my plane seems to be very nose heavy and every time i fly it nose dives so can you please advise me on what to do.

  • shutup n fly

  • Wow she's got no boobs at all.

  • The designers went home in the lunch break? The Easystar ain't pretty, but this ship is downright hideous... Like duck with shades, or something even worse...

  • i think i saw this guy on craigslist under t4m

  • whats the name of the frist song in the intro

  • Man that prop is either too thin or facing the wrong way, did anyone else notice the whistling / singing vibration noise? can hear it when he launches it and later when he is flying it closer.

  • Whoa whoa whoa haters. Envious? Displaying juvenile jealousy because that guy Pete is articulate and smooth on the patter, evincing some sincerity the likes of which you clowns couldn't generate if you were selling your sisters on the corner (and, well, that I can understand...tough sell there). This guy could sell a Yugo to the King of Saudi Arabia...what can you do? Sorry, I hear your sis is freelancing...

  • thats fucking gay dude what are you 8

  • i thought this was a girl for the first 5 mins haha

  • @rschroe78 thats the Chinese for u

  • 8:44...

    You call this fun?

    I call sex fun.

  • I like how you call your children friends "Pilots" to make them feel good inside.

  • people grow up gosh

  • Must be your first model, youre using WAY too many adjectives... Not believable.

  • What a knock-off!! Taking the same design from EasyStar!

    Don't ever buy from them! 2 months ago I ordered a replacement ducted fan and still no word!! I sent them the money and everything! HORRIBLE SERVICE!

  • This banana hobby mob are crooks don't buy from them just read through the negative feedback. So many people can't be wrong...

  • I wonder how many kits they had to go thru before they got one that flew the hole time of this video.THEY SELL JUNK AND YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU BUY FROM THEM. JUST A WARNING FROM ONE MODELER TO ANOTHER>

  • JUST RECIEVED MY 70MM F22 RAPTOR FEW DAYS BACK. I HAD SEEN ALL THE BAD REVIEWS OF BH INCLUDING THE BB F RATING. BUT I HAD NEVER PURCHASED FROM BH SO WANTED TO SEE HOW THEY WENT AS I KNOW TWO SIDES TO ALL STORIES. NO ANSWER TO EMAILS THAT I HAVE SENT!! COLOR BOOK INSTRUCCTIONS THAT ARE WRONG. SERVOS THAT DONT WORK AND UNBALANCED MOTORS. WILL BE POSTING MORE ON THIS. HAVE TALKED WITH BANK AND STOPPING PAYMENT. KEEP ALL RECIEPTS FOLKS. AND COPY VIDEOS ON UTUBNE AND MAKE VIDEOS OF BUILD WITH PICS.

  • is this a man or a woman? ...

  • you talk shit nerd

  • Wow that plane looks so cool. Is it a glider. My boyfriend makes kick ass paper airplanes for the kids in the neighborhood to play with. One day the door rang and when I answered the door. There were about 5 boys on the porch and they hey is Eugen home we want to know if he'll come out and play with us. I said no he is at work and they Oh man we wanted him to make an paper airplane so I did my best but not as good. I said hey put you arms out and pretend your the plane that's what I do.

  • you rock

  • SCAM!!! Worse customer service ever, Sent me wrong product, Never replied to my emails, Models within videos are 100% different to what we receive :(

    ....

  • @provideotube if i ever go to prison ,,i hope he is my cellmate,,i know we can make money for sure

  • @provideotube The plane i bought,in the video performed awesome and the one i received barely got off the ground and the radio malfunctioned about 30 seconds into the maiden flight and crash.

    They say they have great customer service,but in reality their attitude is to fuck off.

  • @rpm303 Exact same situation, my radio gave me glitch whilst i was next to the plane, the model itself never got of the ground and after a week my servos broke.

    With BananaHobby your only paying for the **Foam** not Electroincs!!!! what a bargain lol.

  • @provideotube what is a good site to order from then?

  • @mclovincraft I will not recommend any site to you as anyone of them could be a scam, but I have tried Bananahobby and honestly their customer service and support is crap. I haven't tried this but i think nitro planes "Might" be a good website. But again do your own research on RC Blogs.
