Fly Like RJ Gritter? E-flite Decathlon RJG 1.2m Review
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 21 dnem
I recently got my hands on the E-flite Decathlon RJG 1.2m, and this thing is pretty darn fun! It's modeled after RJ Gritter's airshow plane, and it really lives up to that airshow vibe. Smooth, responsive, and packed with AS3X and SAFE Select to help keep things steady. This plane kind makes you feel a bit like an airshow star yourself. 😂 🎥 Dakota Casteel Media ▼Links to Everything used on the ...

      No soundtrack added. The clips are slowed down to 50% speed, so the edfs sound a lot more throaty at the lower frequency

    This model has been a great performer. Sadly, it has been discontinued for a couple of years now. I'm sure if they had another production run, the model would sellout very quickly. I have had mine since it was initially sold by Bangood.

    Great video. My E-Flite F16 80mm arrives tomorrow. I ordered the Spektrum 7000mah battery for it. I notice you were using the Spektrum NX10 transmitter. I ordered that as well. I was wondering if you know if there’s any difference between the NX10, and NX8 transmitters besides the two channels? Thanks bud!

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek Před 3 dny

      Thanks! There’s not really a major difference between the 8 and the 10 aside from the extra channels which opens up more opportunities for custom programming.

    • @edctrader9061
      @edctrader9061 Před 3 dny

      @@Thercgeek ok, thanks. I wasn’t sure, but that’s what I thought. I wanted the extra channels just in case. I definitely didn’t want the 8, then decide later on I wish I bought the 10…lol. I have no regrets. Thanks for your reply. Have a great weekend!

    I am far from the level that you are in building but I also race slot cars which I hand build. Once a car has achieved a win I place it in a Crystal case and put it on my Shelf Queens spot of Honor. I put a description card with its achievements. It is stored as it ended its competition. However my slot cars are way smaller than my planes lol.

    I know nothing about RC aircraft some I don’t know if this is feasible but. Is it possible to add a parachute to the RC aircraft? I think you should bring the Mirage back.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek Před 3 dny

      Honestly, the weight and space needed for a big enough parachute would probably negate the potential benefits. Crashing is just part of the game and so we have to be willing to lose once in a while because stuff happens.
