F-35 RC plane third flight. Banana Hobby 64mm EDF F35 jet

This is the third flight of my F-35 from Banana Hobby. Taken from a keychain camera on a baseball cap. First and second flights were only dots in the sky. This one was the best of the first three flights since I could keep it closer to me a bit. Landing was really bad (or funny?) so I've included the landings and take-off from the first two flights at the end of the video.

Enjoy

how long can you fly it and on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to fly and assemble

SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS

@Cejo871 : I get only 3:30 minutes on 1300mah 3S Lipo if I want to be safe on the lipo. I can push to 5:00 minutes, if I adjust the LVC to low, but then, the cells are about 3.0V each, so not good for the batteries. I now have 1550mah but didn't time them. Some people fly it with 2200mah so who knows.

It's relatively easy to fly, but it's very twitchy with the remote that came with it. You need to fly it full throttle all the time. Very long take off before you get enough airspeed.

@Cejo871 Assembly was very easy and didn't took long. Everything was well package and straight. Did it in a few hours and I was taking my time. Instructions were bad but parts can only go one way anyway.

1 being very hard and 10 being very easy to fly, then I give it a 3 with the included remote (it will roll so fast, it's crazy). I've since replace the Rx and I've now added expo... Now, it's still fast, but much easier to fly. I would say a 7.5. Inverted, rolls and snake are easy...

when u ordered it did anything look bad

[Real6ambler]

@Cejo871 : Paid full price for it since I had it pre-ordered. It had better be perfect, and sure enough, it was!  The box was inside another cardbox, so not even one single scratch. Everything went together very well. Instructions were pretty bad though. They may have improved them since. Now, it doesn't really matter... I crashed it stupidly, so it doesn't look as good anymore. Still flyable, but lots of epoxy everywhere! I can say it's though, because that was a solid crash!

@Real6ambler wow thanks now i can get this and have as much fun as you do and one last thing is it hard to fly

[Real6ambler]

@Cejo871 : With the transmitter that come with it, it is VERY twitchy. It does roll VERY easily, so you have to be very good with the sticks. I've since replaced the receiver with a Spektrum, and binded it to my DX7, so I could add some expo. Now, it's much better. It's also possible to add another pair of servos so ailerons and elevators are not on the same link. This may help too. Other than that, you need to keep some throttle to land (and need a long runway) and simply keep the nose up

@Real6ambler thanks a million

hello, I just want to tell you that I bought some rhino batteries 1550 and it fits perfect no problem or customization. just right. good luck!

[Real6ambler]

@jeanibiuna : I have only flown it only 11 times so far, always with 1300mah batteries. I have the C.G. at the suggested 840mm and for me it's pretty good. My next step will be to fit some 1550mah battery I have since I will only have to remove less than 1cm of foam and it should not affect c.g. Sadly though, I won't gain much either other than having more batteries to fly it. Again, I've read that people are using 2200mah without adding any weight in front! Not much stuff about it in forums.
