    This is how Hobby King describes this Brand New Tundra V3:
    "After the incredible success of the Tundra V1 and V2, Durafly has decided to produce yet another version with even more improvements to bring the Tundra series bang up to date. The V3 is now a pure 4S set-up so it has power in abundance to make your flying even more fun than it was before (if that is at all possible!). Other changes and improvements include daylight bright LEDs (so bright they are suitable for true dawn-to-dusk flying), a reinforced nylon prop that is more efficient, and better balanced, a return to the classic EPO foam wheels which are lighter, and stronger, pre-installed pushrods, hex-head bolts and screws throughout. The V3 is available in the classic Tundra green and white scheme, or a red and silver color scheme Durafly has called the "Inspire". The reason is that the original Tundra was "Inspired" by the "Highlander" full-size SuperStol experimental airplane.
    The Tundra V3 also includes the revolutionary Aerostar RVS (reverse function system) G2 ESC, this ESC offers instantaneous reversing, so there is now no need to stop the prop before reversing. This makes it perfect when using the Tundra V3 on the water as a floatplane, but it is also great fun in the air, and really good for short landings, just ensure the prop is on nice and tight!!
    The tough EPO foam construction is beautifully finished, and being "Plug N Fly" the Tundra V3 is supplied with the powerful, and reliable Aerostar 3636-900KV brushless motor, the Aerostar RVS G2 40A ESC, and 6 high quality 9g servos. Retained from the V2 are the upgraded landing gear and fixings, vortex generators, improved wing connectors, and battery tray.
    So if you are looking for flying with no limits, then you’ve found it with the Tundra V3. Whether it’s flying from rough bush fields, water, snow, or sand, FPV flying, aerobatics, glider towing, candy dropping, or just good old fashioned super STOL slow flying, then the Tundra V3 takes it all on with ease. Its lightweight yet rugged construction, powerful brushless set-up, and perfectly harmonized design give you an instant feeling of confidence on the sticks, as quickly as it puts a smile on your face.
    Simply put, the Tundra V3 is even more fun to fly than previous versions, and you will be flying even sooner as there is now even less assembly on the V3. With either the included floats, tow mounting point, and FPV mount, or with the optional skis and candy dropper, the choice is yours regarding how you put your Tundra V3 to work.
    Take on the very best mother nature can throw at you and still come up smiling, with the Tundra V3, there are no limits!

    I just love how high wing planes look with floats, and theres just something sexy about water operations. Reverse thrust is absolutely a must-have. Nicely done. Now you guys all need to get together for a float fly up there.

    I liked the float flight and am ready to see some stick bashing with the floats on like knife edge and inverted as well as some spins since it appears the power is not lacking. Y'all keep up the great vids

    Floats are fun. My pond gots the grass going crazy so no floats this year

    That’s the only thing I’ve not tried yet. I’ve got floats for the TTE. Was the landing hard? How was the CG with the floats on?

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  Před 3 měsíci

      The landing was very easy, especially when you consider the swirling wind and no gyro installed in this machine. The CG was only a couple clicks of trim different, but your plane might be more or less. I hope that helps Brother 👊🏻💥👊🏻

    @daviddavids2884 Před 3 měsíci

    this model should have a STIFF, E prop.! manufacturers don't seem to CARE.

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  Před 3 měsíci

      This prop is quite stiff and exceptionally durable. In fact, I thought it would be crazy out of balance after the heck I accidentally put it through on the bench. Said another way, it makes a good box shredder lol
