B-17G Ultra Micro RC Airplane with AS3X Flight Review

Link to the B17 on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1P1hwhb *This plane has been discontinued =( It was such a fun plane to fly and looked amazing in the sky! I'll be sure to review any new version that comes out! The B17 is a beautiful and fun airplane to fly. Somehow E-flight packed in 4 motors, 4 servos, tons of detail, an AS3X stabilization system and landing gear on this 26-inch wingspan 1/48 scale bomber plane! There was no question about me buying this plane. I love scale looking micro planes. The B-17 is the most famous WWII bomber and is known for taking a beating in the skies over Europe and still being able to return home safely. More info on my site - http://rcdad.com/e-flite-b-17g-flying... Binding this plane with my Spektrum Dx6i was quick and easy. This plane is BNF (Bind N Fly) so you will need a Transmitter like the Dx6i or any 4 channel DSM2 or DSMX compatible transmitter. The cheapest one is the DX5e and cost around $60. Everything else is included and assembled. After charging the battery, I had this B17 in the air. In smooth calm air, this thing performs very scale and while it can easily do loops, it’s really meant to be flown scale. The motors are powerful but small and your propellers are pretty tiny and lightweight so there not going to hurt that bad if they hit you. The E-flight B-17G has very well thought out cooling ducts all throughout the plane. Each motor has an inlet and outlet to keep them lasting a long time by providing plenty of airflow. The front nose cone has a vent to blow air over the battery and control board. Keeping the plane cool also helps if you bring multiple batteries since you don’t have to let it cool down for very long to fly again. Extra batteries are cheap and easy to swap out. I included a link above to some Lectron 300mAh batteries. Flight times are around 5-7 minutes. Think of AS3X as an extra pilot helping to reduce any bumps in the air. If there’s a sudden gust that blows your plane to the left, the AS3X will help by immediately correcting to the right. It helps a lot in lighter weight planes that get tossed around a lot in the slightest breeze. It makes this B17 perform like a larger model. Flying Tips and Tricks. This B17 RC Plane likes to be flown scale. It can easily do flips but that’s as far as I would go with the aerobatics. I tried a roll and it refused and just wanted to stall. Turning does require extra power and elevator up, especially in tight turns. The elevator has a lot of authority letting you pull really tight turns when banked. This helps a lot when avoiding objects! This plane does NOT handle wind and it’s not surprising considering its lightweight. You’ll have the most fun when there is no wind and you have plenty of space to fly. If there is any breeze you will have to fly faster to prevent stalling and to keep it under control. Before flying, plan out your flight path and make sure you have enough space to turn without the risk of hitting poles or trees. I always map out exactly where each potential hazard is so it doesn’t surprise me at the last moment. The green camo on this plane bends in VERY well with trees so fly it up high if there’s a lot of green on the horizon. Hand launching is incredibly easy and takes just a little toss at about a 20-40 degree angle and the AS3X will keep it stable and it climbs. DIFFERENT TYPES OF LANDING GEAR. Switching out landing gear is easy! Just wiggle the gear side to side and choose from no landing gear, half wheels, or my favorite the foam wheels. I recommend leaving the foam wheels on when flying because they good a good job at protecting the propellers and guns when landing. Even if you’re landing in the grass, they will still bend back and become uneven after repeated landings and leaving them on didn’t really change the performance. Replacement blades are available but will cost you around $18 to swap out all 4 so take care of them! The box it comes in is perfect for storing and transporting your plane so don’t throw it away! The only problem is they forgot to put cutouts for the landing gear so you will have to remove them every time you put it back. Battery and charging. An ultra-micro 250mAh 1S 3.7V 20C Li-Po battery comes with your B17 and will give you around 4-6 minutes of flight time. Extra batteries are affordable and you can easily You might also like the P-51D Ultra Micro RC Plane:    • P-51D Ultra Micro Mustang RC Airplane Review   Subscribe to my channel! https://www.youtube.com/subscription_...
