FlyFly Hobby Topgun F-86 Sabre Review, Build and Flight Test

The FlyFly/HobbyTopgun F-86 Sabre is a real sweet flyer! There are a few issues which have to be addressed during the build and once you do this you will get rewarded with a wonderful flying EDF. If you are confident enough with your building skills then this could easily make a great first EDF as it's very easy to fly.

Great work on the F-86...I really like the Carbon-fiber rods the you put in the wings...About to start my FlyFly F-86...I'm modifing mine with flaps retracts full flying elevator and speed brakes...Waiting to get that Turnigy 9X radio from Hobbyking...Going to make vides of the build....

@PatBALEX Thanks, you'll be very happy with your Sabre she flies fantastic. She can slow down quite well but the brakes and flaps you want to add should give it more scale. Looking forward to seeing your video

[Eugensdiet]

It flies nice. I like the way you added the carbon. The landing gear look scale as they are. Why would shortening the landing gear make it get off quicker unless you changing the incidence (leaving the nose wheel long)? Is the CG where it is recommended. If not that is why it doesn't want to rotate.

[PARTYjohn69]

@Eugensdiet Yeah CG is fine. The way it was the plane was sitting virtually level mayyyybe even with the nose slightly down, by shortening the main gear(rear only) OR lengthening the nose strut you increase the AOA and it helps with shorter climb out. This will work on any tricycle gear setup on planes where you find you're getting a long take off. It's actually a common thing with this particular model (& Art-tech SU27) I just wanted to try it stock (like in the video) before I made any changes

[foot8sativa]

Hey jbc, What type of retract did you use on the nose??

[PARTYjohn69]

@foot8sativa The nosewheel is made by EPF and is a DSR2, you can also pay extra and now get them in a 'TITAN' series which just means they come with metal sideplates.

You'll enjoy the Eurofighter and now Hobby-Lobby offers the V2 version wich comes standard with the electric retracts. Keep up the good work!

Great Video! I have one these and it's the best flying plane I've ever had.... I'm using the EPF's with the upgraded metal sides.
