The RC Geek
United States
Registrace 3. 02. 2015
My name is Chris Wolfe and I love all things RC! I grew up being exposed to all aspects of this hobby and especially love scale building and flying. My passion for this hobby has driven me to start the thercgeek.com along with this CZcams channel to provide build tips and tutorials, honest reviews, and to feature some of the cool models I see at different events. My hope is to inspire both new and experienced modelers to try something a little out of the ordinary. I'm here to help you on your journey and provide tips and tricks along the way!
For this channel, it is my goal to upload new videos most weeks (Fridays). I like to keep it fun and informative but I'm a working stiff, so sometimes the tutorial videos take longer than I'd like. Please feel free to comment and give recommendations for possible video tutorials, it helps! Welcome and thanks for watching!

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 ...

Got a chance to check out the NEW Durafly Tundra V3 and it's a fun little bush plane! The performance is punchy and it's definitely rugged - perfect for some fun off the beaten path flying.

Could you do cool?
Cheap Eflite company - same Trojan, same pilot, same cheap paint, same electronics (except something "smart") - but triple price up!
AWESOME BROTHER!!! FLY IT!!!
That's almost as pretty as what you build Brother man! Enjoyed the video :)
I love it🙂
Most soothing flyby ever🤤
Of course they've added a turbine soundtrack.
No soundtrack added. The clips are slowed down to 50% speed, so the edfs sound a lot more throaty at the lower frequency
Flies great, looking at how stable it was during that slow roll, CG seems spot on
Thank you!
Super ! Gut gemacht!
Video gut! Aber die Werbung nervt. Ohne Werbung unverschämt teuer.
This is the best looking and flying SR-71 I've ever seen, you even have the tail logo with the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works insignia. Awesome RC fantastic plane 💪
Those afterburners look sick dude! 😊
Use heat to pull the stickers off. 150 degrees. With your hand by the sticker you can feel if it gets too hot as you heat with a gun.
Problem is that that will swell the foam beads and gator the surface.
Definitely put it back in the air ! . Beautiful looking plane . Do they have a Masters Classic Class ? , if not should have .
Wow👍👍👍
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.
Quite possibly. It was a nice little flyer.
Awesome. Mine in my F-22 look awesome and cannot wait to see what the B1-B looks like.
The Mirage was and still is a beautiful plane.
I agree! The mirage III, especially the canards variants are some of my favorites.
There is a third kind. Those that are crashing right now.
😆
Yes. Fly it because it won't do it alone
What a Beauty! Did you publish somwhere, how you made this awesome weathering?
I’ve done a few vids on the topic on the channel. Most recently though, I actually just published a book on the topic along with a video course. For a limited time, I’m giving the book away for free, I just ask you to cover the shipping and handling. 😊 www.artofscalemodeling.com
Some last longer than others but they all deserve to fly. If anyone can give it the best chance of long term survival you can Chris. Good luck!
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!
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.
@@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!
Underpowered! Needs bigger motor/ esc!
Nah, just a 4s pack. 😁
Well thats a tuff call. But it would be good to her up in all her glory. Jet fan 110mm...thats what i have in my Draken.
My dumbass thought it was real for a sec💀
FLY IT. GEEK. 😊
She belongs in the air
No way, Chris. Keep her on mothballs. Then, you can commit all of you resources on that monster T-28 😊👍
Working on the monster as we speak! 😊
If it doesn’t fly is it even really an airplane?😊 I say fly it but don’t take unnecessary risks with it and it will reward you with much joy!!
Facts! 😊
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.
Very cool!
👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
Send it. They are meant to be flown and accidents will happen. Could literally happen while at the hanger
True story! It did receive a little damage during the move. 😬
Pretty sure it’s more likely to get destroyed flying than it is sitting🤦♂️
Nooo, let her retire in ... or not in peaces. Start sometng new to create new memories with
I say, do it!
Sounds like the landing gear could use some lub.
Whats the best way to add nav lights to composite birds that didn't have them before?
How did you get classified footage?
😆
0:01 that sound☺️
Avro Vulcan but smol and American
Definitely some similarities. 😊
A1 realism, a work of art indeed, build, look and sound. That dirty ole two tone blue is exactly how I painted my little kits as a kid from colour wartime photos.
Beautifully made, beautifully flown.
Damn, looks so real, just the sound needs adjustment.
Wow, great work!!
Thank you!
Great mods on an awesome looking plane, sounds fantastic too!
Excellent flying coverage. B-58 looked great.
Have you had any issues with the elevator assembly disconnecting in flight? Im not a fan of the latch mechanism. seems awful flimsy
I haven’t personally. It’s important to make sure that the elevator is fully seated and clipped into place when you put it on.
Favorite fighter from WWII. I have the Anderson plans....I do NOT have the Anderson talent.🫤
Damn it looks like the real thing cookin' along thru the air
