0.1mm 38AWG Heating Resistor Wire Nichrome-Wires for Heating Elements 10Meters for foam cutting temu a few dollars
Thanks for the alert
I wish you could select number of cycles to do. I am retiring my Powerlab 8 for this, hope it is good :)
If it's over $79 and without a single joy-stick TX in RTF form, then it's not for me. That's what the new pilot in you becomes after even a mild to moderate ischemic cerebral stroke, as was in my case. Sooo ... please, take care of yourselves. Health comes before everything else. I learned the hard way. For those too lazy to look-up what the medical term ' ischemic ' implies: ... it designates a blood vessel/artery ' clot ' type of cerebral stroke which causes oxygen starvation to the neurons involved. The other type, which is more severe, is a ' hemorrhaging ' ; which is a rupture of a cerebral blood vessel/artery.
I see at 10 min it straightens the image as well ! Really useful split screen thanks Andrew
Yes Gyroflow is very clever
Andrew you must have struck it rich! On Banggood the NZ price is $707.78!!! Reasonably price my “donkey”.
I'm seeing NZ$401 with $5.80 shipping to NZ
Your quite right! I’ve just looked again and that’s the price I’ve got. Darned if I know where the first price came from. Apologies for that. Pleased to hear you’re winning the health battle. I’ve followed you for many years.
Have you tried doing more action things with them like a light jog?
In the original review
How u find cg of this plane?
Canard Plane CG Calculator
Hi Andrew, is it possible to have the vario setup using a FC as the Matek 743 WLTE? I can’t find the Vspeed value in my telemetry.
Should be possible but I don't have that FC.
Chinas answer to the very expensive Spectrum "Apprentice"....Having the symmetrical section wing for more advanced flying is a great bonus giving the model more appeal...🤔😮😏😏🇬🇧
Very expensive is right ! Never got into spektrum nor horizon hobby. Way out of my league even when I was a 🔥 hot-shot pilot. My favorite TX is the FlySky TH9X or Turnigy 9X with either the ER9X or Open TX firmware and a multiprotocol RF module.
Wow keren bro
Very smooth looking finish on the foam. Appears to fly quite well. An excellent price. What type of hinges does it have, Mr. Newton?
Just foam hinges but they look like they would be quite durable.
Looks to be a real ripper! Impressed to hear that the EPO foam is very robust. The thought that went into including two wings, and easy takedown/assembly is excellent. Expect we might see more of the TopRC Blazer as a general testing platform in future. It might be fun to test if the Blazer remains stable (at slow speeds, stall handling) if those big ailerons were configured as flaperons for STOL flying.
INAV belly lander configuration next.
in 2024 I would definitely not call it a trainer, ie a beginner LOS airplane trainer. Yes it is like the Eagle 63 trainer I had in 1981, but that was not an easy introduction to RC flying in retrospect. I'd call this more of an intermediate LOS plane. A trainer for the last 15 years has probably been a UMX cub, followed by an Easystar belly lander-pusher. Truly forgiving airplanes for learning LOS with low speed and high crash resistance. Once you get into having landing gear and especially tricycle gear, you need to be solid on landing the UMX and belly landers or you will have doing a lot of repairs. Especially for park flyer situations without unlimited smooth grass to land on - need somethings lighter, slower, belly landable. Some would say a 3ch plane with dihedral and no airlerons is more beginner friendly too, but I feel ailerons should be in the mix esp with gyro stab to help. And there is also the 250g exemptions to consider in some countries (eg Remote ID bull snot)
Yes, it's a bit fast for a first plane
Nice flyer. Does that have a break-away prop? I like the user-friendly features. I only have a few umx I fly but would like a sailplane or similar but want to put a cam on it and looking for those little action cams I used to see are gone? One I liked a lot was the ...firefly? Those were great little cams to tape to your plane but can`t find them on banggod or gearbest. hmm idk
Bolt on prop. I use Runcam 2 4k or Runcam Thumb now.
Nice if you are like Andrew here and get a free one just to do a review for BangGood. By-the-way Andrew; how does one approach BangGood to do what you do ?
I believe it works the other way around. Companies are always watching social media platforms for feedback on their and competitor products. If you're someone who has created a standout relevant port folio of content demonstrating your abilities, the companies will reach out to you. If you want free stuff, particularly junk, many companies will send you stuff if you have a minimal talent for presenting. The good content creators are the ones the select the better stuff that is meaningful to their audience, as showing the junk wastes everyones time, and serves no one. There are certain times a great creator can use a junk product to teach a insightful lesson, but that is not typical.
@@AerialWaviatorWould you consider this " Blazer " RC aircraft that Andrew here has as junk ?
AW is right. You need to develop a UA-cam channel that gets lots of views and catches the companies' attention. Then they might approach you. Only took me 18 years on YT and about 1500 videos.
@@AndrewNewtonThanks for the info & advice but I now neither have the time, patience, nor strangeness for such a venture. Dealing with health issues after a now 3-years out right-hemisphere ischemic cerebral stroke.
Good beginner designs can be excellent mod material for those of us who have been at it for a while. As an FPV long ranger flying STOL from my back yard, I immediately added a twin mod of this one to my bucket list. What I love is the sturdy aluminium gear with no ingenious parts that insist on snapping in half, and what I hate is the bottom loaded battery bay. But there's nothing more than foam between me and a better solution, so thank you for the comprehensive review!
👍💪✌
Great review and flights. TopRC do make some fantastic planes ;-) See you in the Air!
BangGood is Nuts... They want $333Cnd to ship that $306 Cnd Plane.... IDTS
About AU$405 landed including taxes in Oz. Free shipping on all orders over AU$76.22. Haven't you North Americans been paying your bills there lately? 😜😁
@@theoztreecrasher2647 BG used to have that shipping deal here as well. They changed their policies for Canada a few years ago.
i've same FC and i am working on Vtol (4+1) with inav 7.1, i can share with you my experience with pleasure. I finished the first part of the Quad with all settings waitting for the finishine of the plane construction..;-)
This is now a NO GO in various countrıes such as the u.s. & canada with the RID ( Remote ID ) requirements. Aircraft 250g ( 8.82-ounces ) or iess are exempt from the ruling.
Safe non-compliance is an option.
@@r1m.s877Sure, but I personally wouldn't want to risk it, especially in today's stupid society where reason and logic are nonexistent !
So put a RID unit in it?
Try putting in the flaperon function with the sport wing, that would be interesting.
Would be a 9/10 if it wasn't a bottom feeder.
This is a good price for this plane!
Hi Sir Andrew. Can a Speedybee F405 Wing be used for VTOL too?
Yes, that's a feature of INAV or Ardupilot, not so much which board you use
@@AndrewNewton thanks for the info Sir. I've bought a lot of Matek f411 previously but it's kinda sad that future Inav 8 will not support it anymore. I hope Inav 7 will have complete VTOL support before they move to version 8.
Not sure why you would need a 4s battery in place of the ubiquitous 3s/2200 (before even a test flight) ? Hauled itself off the deck with plenty of power - even on that rough track. It IS a trainer after all (and quite nicely made too by the look of it). Spare wing reminds me of the Chris Foss Unowot?
Maybe because of the flight time? You get only about 6 to 8 minutes with that battery. I'm sure, that he wants to fly a longer distance.
@@altermannfliegt3927 Not sure that's the answer 😁 Higher voltage, increased current = less flight time (for same capacity) - not to mention that there's no guarantee the ESC/motor combo will handle it? I think 8 mins is plenty of time for a trainer anyway 😊
@@neilgillies6943 He mentioned the battery as a li-ion 4S and INAV on board already. That is why I am thinking of an fpv backpack on top of the wing and a flying time of about 20 or more minutes. Maybe he'll also dismantle the landing gear. A 40A esc will handle 4S and the motor for minimum one minute at full throttle with a lipo battery too. I don't think that he needs a trainer plane 😉 ,rather a stable platform for fpv.
@@neilgillies6943 No, higher voltage equals less current for the same amount of work. W=V x I
Haha. I have done exactly as you suggest. INAV belly lander Blazer in the next video
Nice review, unfortunately they lost me at ‘bottom hatch for the battery’
Yep, I'm not a fan either
Can't wait to see your Quadplane Andrew....Looks like your Winter has arrived....🤔😳🇬🇧
Chilly but sunny. Looks like I'll have to give the quad plane a go
Looked like the Runcam was using an ND filter Andrew...?...🤔😳
No ND filter, just as is
Runcam may be a bit more, but worth the extra IMO. I assume you can remove the battery in the Hawkeye...?...🤔😏🇬🇧
Yes just a little LiPo
I've ordered the pnp version. What do you recommend for fvp? I'm new to fpv. Not wanting to break the bank.
Go to my blog (link in the description) and click the FPV tag for info. Best to try analog first because digital FPV will break the bank
Thank you for making video of this FC I will Also try 😊
Good luck
Which motors and propellers did you use? Battery, 1 or 2? ESC, 1 or 2? Thanks!
Probably covered that in the video and description. Did you miss it?
Thank you for the video, Andrew! Maybe you know where I can find power configuration for 4+1 VTOl plane with SpeedeBee F405? I found only for tricopter VTOl configuration.
No idea at this stage, but I will have to find out eventually
I have this board in a T1 vTol. 18 months in, it's hovering but not FW flight as of yet. I am used to Ardu and Matek too, so . . . . . . . it's got a good loud beeper. Which I used to locate the plane after the first FW test. It was a VERY long walk, don't point the plane at the ocean is all I'm saying Mr Newton :)
Haha, a loud beeper will be essential for my field
You just watch ya fingers with those VTOL's Andrew.........
Indeed, they come right at you some times
@@AndrewNewton : I'm sure that ya fingers remembers the last one...
RunCam definitely better for my eyes.
extra servo amps is good for tilt motors I guess. Makes sense for a quadplane but I like the single-board lightweight f405 wingV2 all on one board and feel it has enough pads for 3 motors imho. I have yet to complete and fly my Dart tilt motor vtol though, hope the v2 has enough servo amps.
Hi Andrew, I'm having vtol problem with this fc on skywalker x8 with mission planner. I cannot get it to hover. The skywalker wing flipped over every time I increased power. I would like to see how it works out for you.
I'll be using INAV so might not be much help
Great overview. With so much flexibility in configuring, it may be hard to decide what could be your next fun build to pair with this flight controller.
i stopped buying matek when they stopped supporting and started cheating the elrs team. Matek is no longer elrs supported product but Matek tells their buyers they should use another elrs target instead to get any updates. Imagine this second vendor will stop supporting then the whole mess starts again. I have bought speedy bee fc instead and sold my old matek flight controllers I hate to see this kind of cheating.
so they cheated by using ELRS engineering on their own ELRS receivers? I don't get how you'd say a Matek FC won't be supported nor updatable with iNav or Betaflight (or Ardu), and just plug your 3rd party ELRS receiver into any uart? I am genuinely unaware of this situation, have used Matek for 7 years with great results, but I am still using Crossfire. I have a new ELRS radio and considering the switch but would be using 3rd party ELRS receivers not Matek. I have a SpeedybeeFC in the box but it is a heavy inefficient looking thing in comparison.
No switched 9v/12v for VTX use ???
Rewatch the video for the answer
I wonder if this would work on my nano goblin.
Andrew. Get hold of a Bixler and strap 4 motors onto it via a couple of carbon tubes mounted on the wings. The standard Bixler motor remains as the plane motor. You do it first and I’ll follow you
Ha, not really tempted by a full quad plane but we will see
@@AndrewNewton ah, but the FC is built for a full quad plane; pretty please?
your videos are always great excited to watch it have a great day 😁
Thank you so much. This is not the most interesting I guess
runcam thumb pro has my vote here
Thankyou once again mr newton 🙂👍
Thanks again!
