Art-Tech Wingtiger Electric RTF RC Airplane Flight Review!

[TheFasty2001]

Very smooth plane!

[makesomebodyhappy]

is this model nervous as the Skyartec Cessna 182 or is more quiet?

thanks

[MrMikeProductionz]

can you land a plane with wheels on grass?

[MrMikeProductionz]

does the ground have to be smooth to fly a plane with wheels?

[yamaha4759]

hey Pete, why did you block edwin4759?

[yamaha4759]

@megabill1995 @megabill1995 dude if your son has flown 4 channels then he should understand everything about planes and wouldn't have problems flying any poorly built planes... so i don't think i believe you... the guy "Pete" may have over endorsed the plane but shame on you to spell your mistake and blame it on the plane...

[kmgpfeiffer]

do you think you could take off and land on a baseball field?

[PunKid1991612]

@kmgpfeiffer why a baseball field?



[h2oman210]

Hey Pete, is there going to be a video of "version 2" of this aircraft, with the 2.4GHz transmitter and brushless motor?

[ZULUBRAZIL]

Your voice is funny

[glennjgd]

The time has come for Free energy to be revealed ,But Elite controllers don't want ppl to be free from the costs of energy,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be the revolution!

[Tommyr]

REALLY nice flying!

[MrDancingelf]

im a complete beginner, not really flown before. is this a good plane to start with??

[p3x197]

this pete guy always wears glasses and a hat to hide is identity for when the law come after him for running a fraudulent company!!!

[MrSocial78]

the simulator that comes with this plane can it help beginners alot or is the sim trash?

thanks, ryan

[Christopher622]

Simulator can teach you the basics, but I think it's way over priced and the only way to practice for the real deal, is to fly the real deal !!!

[castorini]

I could punch this mongoloid in his face all day long

[stanedblock]

can you do a review on the Alpha 450 Sport ARF & PNP

[musname]

this model is a great project.... i liked much , but i dont have enough money for buy...=(.this is very expensive here in brazil , + - 450 $....how much dollars is this model ? Thanks.

[rickwebmail]

Great Vid, greetings from Brazil!!

[acdcguitarfreak]

Just ordered one of these. cant wait to fly it!

[hasanjohnh]

and i crashed one of these! :(

[kieran3008]

pete, can you supply it with a 5channel transmitter and reciever? i would like to give this a parachute or bomb drop facility to it!

[bananahobby]

You can see it on our site. Thanks!

[FKAguy]

uhh would u recommend this aircraft for me??Ive never flown an RC aircraft before..

[bananahobby]

This is a high wing trainer. It is made for stable flying from beginners to experienced pilots. It is a great model!

[anasunb]

Does the transmitter have a buddy box port? Can I put my own transmitter and receiver ( DX5e)

[bananahobby]

The transmitter does have a trainer port. I have not tried it with the DX5 yet.

[radampl]

Beautiful model and a nice fly - greetings

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment!

[itshammer]

when are you guys goin to stock up on more of your palanes..There is a few i wanna get.thank you

[bananahobby]

We are getting stock in everyday. Please check our site for updates!

[Cyraside]

Just got this yesterday, flew it today and was quite impressed to say the least for an electric. It was windy and the plane's characteristics were... twitchy in a way, but very stable in low wind. It only has a brushed motor but don't let that fool you- I easily pulled a few loops with it. I got about 8 minutes of flight time but I'm sure you could get 12-18 if you managed your power/didn't do as much aerobatics. Constructed of very sturdy plastic/foam, and of a decent 50" inch size. Thanks!

[bananahobby]

That is awesome! Happy Flying! Thanks so much!

[FAZER00432]

I have to agree with 64rgagressors you need to have a direct link to this plane on your website as well as a link to your homepage.

[bananahobby]

Yes I totally agree and will update now.  Thanks!

[Cyraside]

I'm thinking of buying this plane without the radio and receiver and just using my own equipment- an old 72Mhz Futaba 7CHP. I'm guessing it'll still ship with the servos installed, right? Oh, and judging by the video the plane looks to have plenty of power with the brushed motor, but can you recommend an equal brushless motor/esc in case I want to upgrade it later?

[bananahobby]

If you opt to use your own Futaba 7CHP, it will work just fine. It will ship with all the electronics minus the transmitter and receiver. I have not needed to go to brushless as of yet, but I would think around a .15 brushless and 35 to 45 amp esc.

[Cyraside]

Thanks for the help! I'm ordering this tomorrow because I want to get back into flying planes casually but this time more electric, less nitro. I have the TB-20 from you guys and it flies flawlessly- that really good, somewhat, unknown semi-scale model. The Wing Tiger appeals to me because it's just like a standard .40 nitro trainer, but electric and priced to sell- yet it's capable of more than decent aerobatics. In fact from the video it seems you didn't even push it too hard. Perfect landing!

[bananahobby]

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions!

[toakreon]

A lovely model fitted with a brushed can motor. What a shame - the ship spoiled for a ha'peth of tar, a suitable (cheap) outrunner brushless would be only a little extra and would be so much superior.

[bananahobby]

The thing is to bring people into RC while keeping the cost of the overall aircraft low. There is ample power with the stock canned motor so we did not opt for a brushless at this time.

[aquapulser]

I want to buy this plane. Can you recommend a brushless motor to replace the brushed motor that comes with the plane. Also recommend the appropriate controller for the brushless motor if i have to replace the existing one?

[bananahobby]

I have not had a need to replace with brushless as of yet. The can size of the stock brushed motor is a 540/550 size. It will be close to a .15 size in brushless. ESC will be about 35 to 45amps. Thanks!

[flyinhighrogerKBTR1]

what size prop does this plane use?

[bananahobby]

I believe it is a 10x6E

[bananahobby]

I wish I could. Links are not allowed here I believe. Let me try.

[Snorkelsson]

whats better for aerobatics, low or high wing?

[bananahobby]

It all depends. Generally, low wing is better. However, there are many high wings that are just as aerobatic! Like this Wingtiger. It can do just about all the aerobatics out there except for any Alpha maneuvers.

[skater95asm]

hi ive heard that the brushed motor and the servos dont work in this plane at all ..they just make noises is it true

[bananahobby]

Not true at all. This is probably the best high wing trainer for the price I have ever tested. Everyone that has purchased one loves it!

[turylury]

i'll probably buy this play next month...is it a good beginner's plane?

[bananahobby]

This is a great beginners plane!

[SF1010]

Hi, can I buy more than 1 battery and alternate them to be flying non-stop?

[bananahobby]

You sure can!

[bhatiarahul]

Hey Pete,

After a long wait, I finally got my Wingtiger. Assembly is almost complete.

However, I have noticed that the elevators do not move as much as the ailerons. Ofcourse the ailerons are hinged and that accounts for their free movement whereas the elevators seem to be part of the horizontal stabilizer.

Could you please advise if you've faced this problem? Is it advisable to try and move the elevator by hand until they start to flap a little better?

Thanks.

[bananahobby]

The elevator only needs to move very little. The surface can be freed up a lot by bending the elevator with your hands a few times. Disengage the elevator control horn and basically break it in a bit. Please understand that the Wingtiger can function to its full potential with VERY little elevator movement.

[TTandN]

do you think that plane has enough power to mount a samsung s85 digital camera to it? i wont be doing any stunts, i just want a plane for aerial videos.

[bananahobby]

Yes, that camera size will be fine. Make sure you mount it on the CG and it will have no issue with level flight.

[TTandN]

ok, thank you

[ehsanaman222]

Hi - just a quick question regarding the battery. 1.) How long does it take to fully charge the LiPo battery which is included?

2.) If the battery dies on me while the plane is in the air (ie: the motor shuts off), will I still have control over the rudder,elevator, and ailerons?

Ps. Great Video :-)

[bananahobby]

The Lipo charge time will be determined by how much you actually drained it. Usually charge times can be between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. This airplane comes with a lipo battery. It is not suggested to fly until the battery is completely drained.  Time your flight and when you get to about 8 minutes, it is safe to land.

[bananahobby]

It will have to be shipped USPS and that is about 10 days to Australia. I am not sure if there is a faster shipping method. We use USPS then it will transfer to your local courier.

[bhatiarahul]

I have just ordered the same... A couple of questions:

1. Can the balance charger operate with a variable AC input voltage, say between 100 and 250V?

2. What is simulation software bundled with the package called? Will it help first-timers get used to the real thing?

Really looking forward to flying this craft !

[bananahobby]

The charger adapter can handle between 110 and 240V. The simulator software is called FMS. Thanks!

[revilor234]

I'm buying one. Thanks! Great flying, you make it look easy. G'day

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment! The Wing Tiger really flies awesome!

[revilor234]

I wanted an RC plane but because I don't have a level smooth surface to take off and land on, I went with an RC chopper, which is easier to fly?

[bananahobby]

Fixed wing aircraft's are easier than helicopters.  The Wingtiger can handle more rough take off surface! Thanks!

[revilor234]

oh, cools

[FKAguy]

does this kit come with deans soldered on?

[bananahobby]

It sure does!  Thanks!

[MadCroat01]

I just wanted to ask about the USB cable that's shipped with this kit - is it the same like the one you ship with the Blitz-RC-Works P51D Mustang Shangri-La? Does it forward 6 channels to the computers? Thanks!

[bananahobby]

The USB cable with this will be the same as the P-51D. Thanks!

[sigair]

I got this plane, it has alot of power. how ever the rudder doesnt make left turns because the servo arm doesnt reach

[bananahobby]

Theres a chance that the rods are reversed. You can also adjust the servo horn and the rear linkage to make it longer.

[sigair]

yeah i did that, its on the right arm, but it still doesnt reach. But thanks any way, i rareky use my rudder.

[bananahobby]

You can try switching the push on the rudder with the elevator. If yo don't use your rudder, I guess its fine. You still have your steering nose wheel.

[bananahobby]

We ship worldwide! Thanks!

[FKAguy]

THIS IS SWEEET!

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[Aceadam]

isent lithium polymer like dangerous ???

[bananahobby]

Nope! You just have to follow directions and no over discharge or over charge them!

[speedstakerguy]

pretty smooth flyer :)

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[ravn111]

Wow, you are very good instructor and a good flyer! :)

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the kinda comment! Happy Holidays!

[Rcflyer71]

yeah like a small cam :)

[bananahobby]

That will be not a problem!

[Rcflyer71]

hey pete do u think that motor can have like 4 oz of extra weight on to it?

[bananahobby]

You mean if the motor can handle an additional 4 ounces added to the plane? Like a small camera?

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment! =)

[bananahobby]

Thanks!!
