@user-oj6gn5tq5q Yes. I suggest checking the data provided on RCGroups "Battery load test comparison" thread ;) CNHL are pretty good packs too, I've used them and I like them but SMC's performance is at another level. Of course, the HV packs are also a bit more fragile, but that can't be helped. If that's a bother, can always go with their green 'normal' packs.

@@referee494 Thank you! ♡

Oh, sh*t!!! You caught my most well-guarded secret!! 😁😁😁🤣

Thanks! This is Avinyonet Aerodrome in Catalonia, south of Barcelona ;)

@@RC4ever wow, absolutely beautiful! New subscriber, loving your content!

@@JN24185 Thanks! Glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy the content and stay around! :D

@nirlachman007 Thanks Nir!! 😊🙏🏼

Not quite. This is not a regular model aircraft airfield, it's a ULM aerodrome. We have permission from the aerodrome management to use the place when they give us the green light and there are no scheduled flights. The airspace is a bit complex around here, though; behind me there is an industrial park. It's not like it's really populated but there are streets, buildings, etc. It's an urban area and I must keep the distance to adhere to local laws. To the sides there are other properties which should preferably be avoided. To the opposite side of the industrial park, you have the buildings of the aerodrome, of course, along with the rest of modelers that came for an evening flight session and our cars. We were left to decide for ourselves what side of the runway to fly from, as long as we respected the airspace limitations. Some chose to fly in the opposite direction, but that restricts airspace a lot, as you are left with a vertical window, so to speak, not able to go ahead or behind you. Plus the terrain is not level, so if you stand by the runway, you further limit your flight space, and if you step back, you don't see clearly the runway, which would lie above you. You could use the taxiway, but it's a lot narrower and crosswind + turbulence can make it sketchy to land there. So I knowingly chose to place myself in this way, and just avoid the space right in front of me where the buildings and the cars are. Maybe you can't tell from the video, but I am not flying over that place. When the jet crosses right in front of me, I'm flying straight above the runway, either at low or high altitude. Then I 'open up' right after leaving the compromised space behind. I am pretty thorough with this and I didn't receive any complaint from the manager of the place, who was there present at all times, so rest assured that I was not being reckless. ;)

@@RC4ever I looked up the site on Google Maps to see where you were. If I'm looking at the right place (41°22'04.8"N 1°46'00.7"E), it looks like there are fields all around except for a tree line to the east and trees to the northeast. The map is dated 6/4/2023. The Google Street View car didn't get close enough for street view to help. I could tell you were staying over the runway and widening your pattern on the ends. I also thought that the camera zoom might be compressing the distance.

​@@TheRCAviator Yes, you got that right. By positioning myself the way I did I avoid getting close to the buildings to the south. Mind that I must keep 150m of minimum clearance from them according to the current law, even if it's not a populated area. And sure, the camera zoom does compress the distance too... which makes it harder to understand situational awareness by just looking at the video compared to being actually at the place. Another consideration is the sun. It is pretty much aligned with the runway header to the west at sunset, so I limited my flying to the left of the buildings to avoid getting blinded by it, and spent more time to the right hand side (East). :)

Hear, hear... ! Thanks !! :') If only the YT algorithm agreed...

Hahaha! Thanks! That sounds awesome... you must have had quite the office view! :p

It's slightly aft of the manufacturer suggestions but I will move further aft. This time I was testing the softened nose gear spring and I try to make it a habit of not changing too many things at the same time if I can help it ;)

Thank you David! It's really a quite different experience to fly this one, but mostly digging the long flight times and the awesome sound of cutting through the air out of the dives! ^^

Thank you very much, and sorry to hear about your loss! 😢 But hey... time to enjoy the 90mm one! :D

Nope. 90mm

@user-oj6gn5tq5q Like most EDF jets, the ESC comes pre-installed inside the duct for cooling. The receiver has 8 PWM outputs, but it runs all 16 channels through SBUS

@@RC4ever so it can control 16channel separately with 8 wire? How?

@@lucrouchy4433 Bonne nuit! Ouais, le boitier c'est non plus.J'ai installé un contrôleur LED Freewing à la place pour les lumières. Tout le reste va directement au récepteur. C'est mieux comme ça.

@@RC4ever merci pour ta réponse

@@lucrouchy4433 Mon plaisir! ;)

@sambuvca22 Ah, well, I wouldn't say I have it dialed in yet... certainly not until I move the CG further back and replace the nozzles by some 3DP ones with the correct thrustline. Be careful when adding thrust, if you do it too suddenly, particularly at low speeds, it will ditch the nose badly. As for throws, I just like to go full throws everywhere with lots of expo to soften the reaction near center stick. ;) Also recommend to install a softer spring on the nose gear to avoid bounces during touch down, they are nearly impossible to recover from otherwise! Keep speed up a bit just in case during the final approach.

@@Ricksworldtv Will sure do, thanks!! :D Editing some new A-10 flights atm ^^

@paulrkytek6587 The non vectored MiG nozzles thrustline was way off, and pitched the nose up. On the TV nozzles' version, the stock alignment is a lot more neutral so you can begin there. I don't recall right now if I trimmed them a bit more pitch down though, since otherwise the jet tended to raise the nose too much at low speeds, I'd have to check. One way or another, the jet doesn't behave the same in post stall as it does in level flight (certainly the case with the Su-35 too) so the optimal alginment for one may well be different than for the other... gotta pick your poison I guess!

@@RC4ever Ok, thanks. I can get it near enough at that an make minor adjustments after early flights

@@rodeopilot7495 Haven't flown the J-10, and I am partial to the Euro design, but the new J-10 seems to have a few advantages, such as full span elevons.

@@HafizLagends-xu4yn Yes, 8S, thank you! :D

@@Pretend_pilotFPV Thank you very much! :D This airframe rocks!

@@RC4ever they need to sponsor you haha

@@Pretend_pilotFPV If only... 🥲

I don’t think they sponser anyone. If you notice the CZcams regulars like to run Freewing down but the truth is they have the best jets.

@@braddarnell2498 Yep.

@BillWaggoner-sk4ci Thanks! No biggie though, already fixed! Could have ended worse, though.

Thanks! That'd be the Su-35 for me... although I have a limited number of frames I can crash... and then it's game over. :')

Thanks! Tailerons do really make the jet an entirely different beast!

@@heydonray Thanks! I have quite a few extra years of experience, I guess ;)

@@notoo7 Thank you so very much... those are big words! 🥲🥹

@percyplay1635 it's in the title.

Nope!

Thanks! It's a tricky jet to flat spin, the stabs are not set enough far apart to drive the maneuver easily unlike the Su-35 and F-22. An aft CG will help though, and nailing the entrance into the maneuver is paramount! 😊

I haven't flown the J-10 yet but I am partial to the Euro because I love its design. The new J-10 has a few pros over the Euro though... namely the fact that it features full span elevons! Both are great flyers, so whatever you pick, you are likely to enjoy it ;)

Thank you! This was shot on a Sony AX53, but mind that I further stabilize the footage in post. Also, most of the videos in the channel are filmed with a Lumix GH5.

@figzrc Thanks! It took me some fighting with the rudder input to keep it on track... if I hadn't catched on what happened early on, it could have flipped over or gone outside of runway.

@@RC4ever de lo poco bueno… o de lo bueno poco xD - con la globalización lamentablemente todo es muy fugaz. Aquí muchos miran rápido, re recomiendan otro visor y con suerte dejas el comentario. Al verlo en el móvil también es más difícil revisar la descripción o más bien ver que haya una. Quizás te leerían más si ponéis una nota haciendo referencia a la descripción. Los que hacen relatos más fácil hacen la referencia…. Pero de todas maneras lo encuentro genial! 👌🏼 👍🏼 ✅

Saludos desde Barcelona! Las paradas de motor no son nada agradables... una vez me dejaron probar un F-22 con una X-45 y se me paró en vuelo. Pude salvar el modelo y la turbina pero no conseguí bajarlo en pista... uff! 🫣

@@mattsr7180 Thank you very much! 🥰🥰🥰

Some jets definitely do it better than others! ^^

@@BillCranford Thank you! Slowmo ruless! :p

Yep, that's what I'm hinting at in the video description, that Eurofighter owners should check their landing gear with regularity having this in mind! ;)

@@domscorpi9775 I haven't flown the 6S. But both have their place. 6S can be floatier. 8S will allow a wider speed envelope and flying slightly longer.
