Brian you don't stop, the best youtube reviews, the most complete and professional, congratulations.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm very into doing this, and so long as I can keep my camera crew with me, we're good to go ;)
“Beautify the tips”
Absolute clinic Brian! The flying in conjunction with the information flow is awesome! Camera crew is second to none..
Thank you!!! Glad you're here with us RC FlyGuy!
Brian, I want you to know how much I admire you and I have an example for me, I don't miss a video of you, I'm very happy that you share your videos with us, I really like your presentation, explanation, dedication, knowledge, your equipment I also have and I am a fan of Spektrum I have a Dx 7 and all my Dsm2 receivers very high quality equipment, thank you Brian, God always bless you and protect you and give you great health, a big hug.
Thank you so much for the encouraging and kind words DANILO! We're blessed to have you with us here in this experience!!!
keys like that on the case are to keep HONEST PEOPLE HONEST. A screw driver could pop that lock in a heart beat .....don't get me wrong Brian i do appreciate the long explanations they are most helpful but i DO get a kick out of your distractions when it comes to details....reminds me of my dog all i have to do to distract her is yell SQUIRREL and she goes off when you do it i yell squirrel and pee myself laughing. You and Megan are doing a fantastic job informing and educating us all and i sooooo appreciate it since i now have an NX8.... best rc channel on utube by far keep up the excellent work..... i now have 6 planes due to your excellent teachings.... bravo god bless and pray for spring im in ontario canada
Thanks Ray! We appreciate you being here with us all the time too!!!
Those videos are the absolute guides.
Not only to decide for a purchase, but when I assemble a new plane I watch it before to be sure that I didn’t miss something. More than often you are more complete than the manual. And your tweaks are a must.
After all this, after flying the plane for some time, I come back to see the type of maneuvers you do and try to mimic.
Thanks a lot !
Glad you like them! Thanks Michel!
Brian, in a way I wish I never found you and your camera crew lol. After seeing your Apprentice S2 video, I bought that plane and started flying immediately. After seeing your first P-51 1.2m video I bought that as well. Now, I went ahead and purchased the NX8 as well; I just now have to try and figure it all out. Thanks for being a literal beacon of knowledge and hope for all of us pilots out there. You've found a lifetime fan here and someday I hope to be able to bring that Mustang out and take to the skies with it as you have. Stay inspirational!
PS: I know it sounds corny, but I'm building my Eflite P-51 1.2m Mustang along with you in this video LOL...
Awesome! thanks for the positive vibes! Glad you're here with us, and be careful...we have another 1500+ videos... ;)
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Don't worry about taking longer time to cover all the little details or repeat certain procedures when putting together an RC plane. The devil is in the details! Thank you and keep it up.
Totally agree!!! I figure if you want to hear our take on it, good, and if you don't want too...that's why God made fast forward - LOL ;)
The P-51 1.2m combined with the NX8 and Smart packs, is the perfect perfect thing! I love this airplane, I have one already but I’m gonna buy a ton more because it’s just an amazing bird! Thank you Brian for the awesome review, you rock!
Couldn't agree more! These are great lipos, and what a great plane and transmitter too!!!
I got mine a few weeks ago and just waiting on the right occasion to fly. You make it look really good and as always a very enjoyable video.
Awesome! Great plane, and so glad you're enjoying the videos!
AWESOME video Brian Love the P51 one of my favorite war birds. Thanks again for all your hard work.... just love it man . : }
You're welcome, and THANK YOU for being here with us! we wouldn't have the channel without an audience ;)
Don’t change anything with your videos. I’m on my third view of this video and I’m seeing and learning stuff I missed the other times. Best videos on rc planes on CZcams!!!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you! We're very stubborn, so no plans to change ANYTHING - LOL ;) It took us about 1500+ Videos to start using LAV mics - LOL ;) I still HATE them so much, but they have REALLY improved our audio quality greatly!
Super cool warbird, absolutely my favorite!!! We've come a long way from the day's of flying the A330-600 in the paved parking lot struggling with crosswinds, avoiding light poles and trying not to hit concrete curbs during the landings. 🍻🍻🍻 Oh those were days🤣🤣🤣
I agree we've come a long way, but I loved those days!!!
Took the night timber x to the field today (4/2). Crazy windy over here in cedar. Still drained 4 batts. Came home to umx a-10 on the doorstep. 😀
AWESOME!!! Such a happy surprise ;)
Awesome looking P-51 and great flight performance. Love those flaps as well ;-) See you in the Air!
Thanks a lot!
Nice 👍🏾.. I love that plane it’s what I started back flying with amazing plane.. I fly on 4s 3200 with no Esc upgrade .. Nothing heats up😁
Nice 👍 This plane is great!
Thanks again for flying Our Best Patriot WarBird Plane .Yyou two have a Great Happy Easter weekend. Brian take Care of the Best Camera Lady
Thanks, you too! Happy Easter to you, but sorry it's so late!
Just ordered thru your link hope it worked for you. Saw one of these flying today the size seems about right for throwing in my back seat area without taking off the wings. I have always liked Mustangs and back in the day, I had a GP 40 size mustang with a YS45 a really hot motor that that made the plane a bomb
You will love this plane. It is a good-ole-standby...every RC enthusiast needs one to pull out and fly from time to time. This P-51 is still one of my favorites to fly, and we have had a LOT...in fact, we've reviewed this plane 3 separate times, and earlier revisions too would put us up to 4 times ;) I love it.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Now I will have 3 solid planes that I can toss in the back seat area of my car without taking apart. The Mustang, the 1.3 Valiant, & the 1.2 T 28.
Thanks to you my wife just bought me one of them cases for my birthday through your link with the other insert so now I can put my old DX radio it with my new NX radio.😳=🎂😇
Awesome! It's way nice!!! Good for you William & Happy Birthday
If your old case will fit my NX8, I would like to buy it!!!!!
Thanks for the great video. You could have flown escort with the P51 while i was flying my UMX Radian the other day, a pack of crows were chasing me. Almost got me too. Too late on Nx8 review, i just got a RadioMaster TX16s.
LOL - almost got you!!!
I hope every one of you, buy stuff from his links and tell everyone about his, and camera crews chanel. So them be the biggest rc chanel. Keep up your super work, love also the building part and all advices.
Thank you so much Martin!!! We really appreciate your kind words ;)
Brian on your throttle on your radio to get 100% take the caps off and slide the switches to the right then you’ll get 100% up and down. 😉
REALLY?!!??! I will have to try this out! Thanks William! You can also Re-calibrate the sticks ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC You’re right I just learned that the other day, now everything zeros out better thanks for your help Brian.
Great video…couldn’t help noticing your awesome camera operator seemed to like your idea of using the other hole there when you adjusted the elevator. You guys are funny! Keep up the good work!
She would make sure that I end up in the back yard if I got confused - LOL ;)
good night Brian without a doubt is the most beautiful war plane of all thanks Brian
This P-51 is excellent! Great rendition from Horizon Hobby, and she flies so well!!!
Love the new experience with the second hole.....😳 WoW camera crew👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Right?!
Stumbled on your videos. Love the honest and sincere reviews. Now need you to do a review on the HSD F-16. Mostly cause I just got it and want to see your opinion! Lol
I haven't started working with HSD, but if they wanted me to review their stuff, We'd definitely be game. Give me a plug when you talk to them, and see if they want to have us review something ;)
Great job, thank you guys.
Thank you too!
Thanks for your instructions 2 yrs ago ---- Now I cant stop buying planes
Awesome!!! ;)
I love this plane,one of my favorites
Totally awesome P-51!
@@BrianPhillipsRC appreciate all your comments and info, I know you are spoken highly of in Ryan’s pilots lounge and that’s where all the Hard core RC pilots hang. So you gotta being doing something right, because most of those guys are top notch pilots and don’t pass out compliments freely. I really enjoy your reviews, and Hats off to the camera crew👨✈️👨✈️👨✈️👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎
The P51d especially in that color config is such a beautiful plane, those low speed passes kill me
This P-51 is a great plane!!!
This you getting back into Rc after long hiatus. I have old Channel 52 htz Futaba. Long video appreciated
Yep, you'll have a steep learning curve, but you can do it. I was looking all over for the crystals when I got back into it, and I couldn't figure out that you have to "BIND" the transmitter and receiver together. It's so much better, SOOOOOOOO much cheaper for so much more technology that ACTUALLY works ;)
We can help you along.
Awesome Airshow Ace! As usual.
Yep, she is a pretty bird.
Unreal display, shipping outta the States kills many a deal for Us.
Again, that Flying was Da Sheeeeeeeeee BP.
Thanks again Jono!!!
really like the p 51 it's a beautiful plane ! let me tell you something Brian ! you are the best on CZcams !✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈💙
Wow, thanks! We appreciate your kind words!!!
P-51D model Mustangs have always been my favorite of all airplanes. I wished i had an R/C Mustang. . . . . .Someday. I have my little Hobby Zone Sport Cub S2 trainer!
You CAN do it. If you want too, you're probably 6 month to 1 year away from doing it from ZERO experience, if you're highly motivated, and put in the time. To be clear, I'M NOT EXAGGERATING... This was my 3rd or 4th plane was the 1.2m P-51 BLONDIE (this one with a different paint job, and NO SAFE). AND I was landing it in my street in front of my house. Seriously, you CAN do it.
Step 1) Sport Cub S2 UMX bit.ly/3cDYUW1 - czcams.com/play/PLXTH0DstRDc5gY8qX_x8kAJq3glGMXjDy.html
Step 2) Real Flight 9.5 bit.ly/3q5rSUF - I suggest this since you can fly EVERY DAY...even when weather sucks, but I suggest it second, so you can have a REAL plane to motivate you. Simulators are great, but you'll need to be MOTIVATED to keep doing it.
Step 3) AeroScout 1.1m - bit.ly/30MNn1c - czcams.com/video/vfZZQXx7jU4/video.html
Step 4) 1.2m P-51 June Nite bit.ly/3bU5icI + NX8 bit.ly/3mbVuNB + 2200 3S bit.ly/3xl5IQJ OR
2200 4S bit.ly/3iiTjbI
If you don't cut corners, and you fly the wings off the Sport Cub S UMX and AeroScout - there is NO reason why you can't be flying that P-51 in SAFE in less than one year. I'm not BS'ing you.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thankya for being so positive! Ive studied all thru junior high & high school on airplane & helicopter flight, aerodynamics, & flight controls. I was an airplane mechanic/maintanence/jet engine mechanic during my time in the U.S. Navy, Naval Aviation! Working on & being around the real birds every single day was an awesome experiance to say the least! Ive had 3 nice, R/C choppers in past years & was so-so at flyijg them. Much harder than flying an aR/C plane for dang sure! Ive always wanted to try "fix wing" & the friday of Labor Day weekend 2 weeks ago, i was watching R/C Saylors on youtube. They were introducing the Sport Cub S2 & talked bout how easy this plane was to try & fly even for 1st time flyers. After watching their video on this bird, i was hooked, & i wanted that lil plane so bad i could taste it! Next day on saturday i was at Hobby Hut model hobby store in G.J., Colorado & i found the Sport Cub S2. . . . that bird was immediately mine, lol lol lol! brought it home & ive been playing with it off n on this past week, learning, & having fun. Oh yes. . . . its had its share of minor crashes but its still kept on flying even after thourough inspections. . . . .until yesterday morning when a paniced nose dive in the grass field behind my house here broke the plastic propeller. . . . . .so now im grounded until my order of 3 extra props & 3 extra batteries from Horizon Hobbies comes to my doorsteps! Ive been trying to find "carbon fiber" made 130x70 props for the Sport Cub S2. . . .no such luck as of yet. Do you yourself know of any i could find somewhere or at least some stronger more durable made props of that size??? Like i said earlier, ive been having alot of fun at learning to teach my self how to fly my lil bird & theres really nothing hard about any of it for me to be honest with ya because as I've stated above, I've had the "learning knowlede" & "work experiance" on aircraft in my back pocket, so thats been purty helpful indeed! I wannuh get my girlfriend into the hobby as well. . . .but she needs a big confidence booster! I just hope i can be that for her. Thankya for your reply & for your help as well. Ive watched a few of your youtube videos as well & i must say youre an awesome R/C pilot. Hopefully i can be as awesome as all you "🔥hotshots🔥" out there. I wannuh graduate to a bigger, heavier plane soon so that i dont have to wait for a 3-5mph breeze or none at all here in colorado just to fly my lil one! I look forward to more of your videos. Keep up the great work & fly safe. Take care. . . . . .Rodney.
I noticed you don't use your taildragger wheel to steer on your takeoffs. But you fly with rudder. Interesting. Beautiful plane. I just threw a bigger scale one in the trash that never flew. I built it with my son but it's nitro. And nowhere around where we moved in O.C. CA, allows gas powered engines. So I took everything out and saved the electronics. It took me a while to get the landing retracts perfect too. So it was a sad day totop. But seeing this video pop up today made me 😊 happy. Plus the more fun in the second hole comment was great too 😀😃🙂
Why'd you throw it away?!??!?! I bet it was an awesome plane!
Glad we could brighten your day with talk of the 2nd hole ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC It was a gasser. Had to drive 2 hours to be able to fly it. It wasn't quite finished yet though. Sitting in the garage making me sad.
I finally broke down and bought an NX8. Got it today and im about to transfer all of my models from my dx6e. Got the orange grips because I liked the looks but I cant bring myself to rip the grips off my brand new nx8. Maybe later I guess. Lol. Probably getting this plane soon also. And a bigger heli. And some g2s... 😂
Awesome! So glad you took the plunge!
Love that P51 I have the same plane.
Great one to have River!
I'm very excited to hear your review of Draco, I mean Rako...lol
It looks incredible.
I know, I LOVE YARDWORK!!!

You guys have the most beautiful skys!
Thanks Josh! We have some absolutely gorgeous sunsets around here, and sunrises are also amazing.
Side-note, when we built this house, I put two windows in the master bath, and now when I'm in the shower, getting ready, I can watch the sun rise - so cool! Also I can get an idea of the wind conditions while I'm getting ready. This was a happy accident in the construction of our home here.
@@BrianPhillipsRC You gotta love those Bob Ross happy little accidents in life!
I myself am also strongly interested in garden tools and will be getting a giant red "rake" also 😉. Looking forward to your hopefully super long video about it!!
Awesome! Thank you! I bet you'll go for the 2M rake??? LOL
You betcha! I was so pumped when I heard it was 2m, it’ll be my first BIG rake!
Word second to none! not only is he the best he takes the time to reply I was in a state of shock when he replied so cool!. several times he has sent me messages!
Thanks Caesar! Glad you're here with us!
That Mig is awesome! They should bring that one back.
I'm not familiar with that plane?
I’m sorry Brian I think I replied to the wrong person.
Nice flyin Brian!
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!
Thanks
You're welcome ;) Hope the NX8 comparisons help some...there's not a ton of side by side's out there, but with such a small price difference, I kinda think the NX8 is the way to go ;) The P-51 is just an EXCELLENT plane
Gday Brian how are you? Watching this video all the talk about "garden tools" reminded me of the last time I played golf, I only hit 2 good balls all day..... I stood on a rake........ Lol...... But it wasn't a Red rake........ Your killing me here mate... Teasing us with that big box behind you...... Great job guys (camera crew).. Take care
LOL Stock reply for you too Stewart - keep your eye out for my lawn care work video coming real soon!!!

Can't wait to watch the video on prop balancing with nail polish! Would have liked to see the firmware update on the NX 6 too. By the way, I loved your video on the horizon hobby focke wulf fw 190! Must have watched it like 3 times. Love the easy build of it. I'm on the fence on it. Really want to get it!
Coming soon Jim! Thanks ;)
If you like the FW 190, go for it. It is a GREAT plane. I wanted to say the P-51 (1.5m) was better, but it's just not... Both GOOD, for sure, but the FW is more detailed, and flies better - the double whammy!
Fw190 1.5m bit.ly/2NswTZ2
The "second hole" is always better!😁👌
Humm...sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth ;)
I just came back from 2 successful flights including my maiden. Both using 3S, one flight was 5 min and the other 6. I felt that the 3S was underpowered for this plane so my next flight will be on 4S.
Congrats! 4S will make her scream!
Amazing content. I have been flying TT Evo for a while now and i wanna go for a warbird. I love P51 and mustang is the plane which got me to the hobby. I have a grass field to fly off the planes, so do you think i can go for P51 1.2 version to start my warbird dream :) will i be able to handle it and does it do well on grass ops ? Thank you in advance for all your help and content
You don’t have to use wifi if you want to use one of the bnf templates. When creating a new model, select the icon “BNF” and it gives you a list of models. This list is embedded/loaded with the firmware. Your could show people the list (find the model in the list to show it is there) and then back out and do the manual setup. I still think this is the p51 to get. 😀
Cool, I've never done it before. I'll try it out. Thanks!
Buying this with a Spectrum NX 6 tomorrow from my local shop for $350 total! Will be posting video soon!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Get the NX8 or NX10 - you will soon regret the NX6 decision
Pretty please, don't do it. I don't want to have to tell you I told you so.
NX6 is AMAZING, and WILL work for this plane, but you will outgrow it in like 3 planes...
NOW, if it's super cheap, go for it..."backup" for your NX8 and NX10 that you buy from our links ;)
Tx bit.ly/3f4JhZl
@@BrianPhillipsRC well it's $200 for the plane, used, but immaculate condition. Then $150 for the NX6, used but great shape. I'm already over budget, lol, but the bug has gotten a hold of me. 🤣
Is that worth it in your opinion?
This will be my first transmitter.
Another nice video! Is there a compatible "shock absorber" aftermarket gear I can install in this P-51?
Not sure, sorry!
Great review Brian ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it
@@BrianPhillipsRC ♥️
Be interesting if you could store screen shots of the data on the transmitter so if you cannot look down, you could reference later
That would be cool, if you could keep a chronological time, recording....like a black box for telemetry!!! That would be COOL
Hey I just got this plane love it and followed along on your set up, I’m caught up on the safe sect setup. I’m using a dx8e and all the programming was much the same to your nx8 but however when I set aux2 to safe select toggle for on/off it doesn’t seem to turn the gyroscopic features off. I know it’s connected as it runs through the power up twice when plugging in the battery just can’t get it to switch from safe to only as3x then to nothing. I would greatly appreciate any help!
You NOW have to go into FORWARD PROGRAMMING to turn it on.
@@BrianPhillipsRC by forward programming do you mean designating it to the D toggle as you had done in the video, because if so I have that set up and it changes ax2 in the monitor menu when I flip through the toggle. However it still (when flipped over) wants to correct to level in all three toggle positions. If that’s not what you mean by forward programming I would love to hear more about it as I’m newer into these more advanced planes, thanks again!
Super awesome show this. 👍😁
It really is! Thanks!
Can you explain the differences in receivers ? can all my planes in my DXe, DX5e, DX6i - CH40 - .now be able to bind to my new NX8 ?
If the Receiver and Transmitter both use DSMX (or DSM2) protocol, then you can bind and use them.
If you're using any of the listed Transmitters, you can replace them with the NX8 - YES ;)
That is hilarious!! I was actually sitting here talking to the screen..."Don't forget the spar Brian, don't forget the spar....don't put those screws in, don't put those screws in.....you put the screws in"!! LOL!! ;) Another great video, even with the shameless use of adorable kittens to draw viewers in. Ha ha!!
LOL - We're so glad you could be yelling at the screen in our honor - Next time, yell louder so we can hear it - LOL ;)
I just ordered the NX8, no big deal. Also, when comparing the cost of the NX6 vs. NX8, the NX8 comes with a $18 strap, so now you're looking at a $22 price difference.
TRUE! Also ONE more channel, and Two more Switched, and a Knob - who doesn't need another knob ???? ;)
Man that baby is fast!!
She is fast and slow, and does both with such amazing beauty!!!
Best rc channel on CZcams! Can the 7th channel on the nx 6 be used for something other than safe or is it programmed for safe only?
YES, as far as I can tell...anything you want on the seventh channel.
I love that plane
Me too ;)
Little does he know Zane was in the background filming this video and sent me a clip before the vid came out🤣🤣🤣
That little cheater!!! LOL
Brian wondering if you help me out? Just set Safe on this plane on my NX6, channel B. I always have Safe on position 0 and AS3X only is on 1 and also 2. With every plane I've set up, Safe always has limited movements and AS3X gives max throws. However on the P51 Safe has huge throws. Position 1 AS3X has LIMITED ELEVATOR but max throws on rudder and ailerons and position 2 AS3X has LIMITED RUDDER but max throws on elevator and ailerons. AS3X only on B postion 1 and 2 have never been different on all my planes and this is my prefered easy access "panic" switch. Safe and AS3X can confirm works. Can you shed any light on why I've got different range of movements in my AS3X modes? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Setup the plane the way I set it up and then see if you have issues. Go through the RADIO SETUP part of this video, and you can follow step by step. You will be fine with the NX6 (it will give you the 7th channel you need).
Get this working, then see if you have the same question.
I have been recently racing the sky angel rare bare and am looking for a first 6s plane what would you recommend.
We review so many planes that are 6S. This might be a good one to just scroll through and than ask specifics about the plane in question.
Me in my head, flair,flair,flair,flair....um he didnt flair...lol...I know it was the elevator.. love this p51.I have the 1450mm redtail.
With full flap deflection on this plane, as per the manual...it was a bit lacking. Extra hole setting out, and she'll let you pitch up much easier.
That being said, I never flare warbird tail draggers, that would be a recipe for stall. You gotta keep this plane flying with power, and get the now DOWN on final, in my experience.
What is the link to the bigger battery that you use in your NX8? I can not find the battery.
Ohh....the 6000mAh!!! Here's it is...
Bigger Tx Pack - 6000mAh 3.7V - bit.ly/3bZ0nHW
Is it possible for you to do a class on trimming on the NX8?
Hey Brian, I don’t want to be a pain in the neck, but I’m wondering what batteries, Chargers, and such I should buy straight out the gate. 3S, 4S, how many should I get, ??? etc. Keep in mind ,I’m a Virgin Pilot, I am going to learn the basics on the Volantex mini mustang,I pray that is possible. I have one shot to buy the plane of my dreams since I was 12, and that’s the June Nite P-51. You’ve been so cool and Patient with answering all my questions, really appreciate you brother!!! I just want to get everything I immediately need, at a tolerable price!!! Thankyou Again, YOU ARE AWESOME 😎
Don't ever buy a battery you don't have a specific need...you'll be wasting money...they're quite expensive.
If you want the June Nite (Great first warbird, but not probably 1st plane status, in my book...maybe #3 to 5...)
Here's what I would encourage you to consider...
P51 1.2m / 1.5m (make sure you get the 1.2m...NOT the 1.5m - Trust Me!!!) - bit.ly/3bU5icI
G2 2200mAh 3S (one or two...they will be used with other planes too) - bit.ly/3hQvYMI
G2 2200mAh 4S (one or two...they will be used with other planes too) - bit.ly/2L1SgiM
NX8 (if that's too much, the NX6 will be a very close second choice) - bit.ly/3mbVuNB
S2200 (This charger is pricey, but it's the top of the line, if you want TWO at a time, this is the way to go, and you'll buy less adapters, which are crazy expensive since the batteries are new tech still) - bit.ly/398ohO6
Hey Brian, as always another great video. Your channel is just loaded with awesome content and I like your long videos. You are actually the person that got me into RC planes and out of drones. I do purchase from your links but you were late in the game on the NX8. I had an early opportunity to snap up an NX8 and grabbed it. I have never been able to connect via WIFI and had to register and up date through hard wire on my computer. The instructions that came with mine are a bit lacking on setting up a WIFI connection. I'm not the only person having WIFI connection issues and it maybe only the very first out transmitters affected. Can you do a video in detail of how your connecting to WIFI with the NX transmitters? There could be warranty issues with the early release NX transmitters? Also, I want your opinion on if the P-51D as a good first war plane for me? I currently fly the Horizon Carbon Cub S2 1.3 and the E-Night Timber X 1.2, ( Set up as STOL ) with 1 year experience.. My flying style is very scale and laid back with no crazy shit. I just like to cruise and I'm all good and happy just doing that. If you think it's a good match for me, I'm going to buy it from your link. I know, Iknow. Long videos and long replies, LOL. Your the best on CZcams bro and put in a lot of time and effort in your channel. The RCsailorshmucks can't hold a candle to you!
Okay, very good questions, but I can't share those steps for two reasons...
1) I can't share the passwords and whatnot - too much vulnerability with network security
2) I'm not a huge expert on Wifi...or at least not as much as others.
If you can find your wifi with your Phone, you should be able to make this Tx work. If it doesn't have you considered trying it on another Wifi? Possibly turning on you Wifi hotspot on your phone??? Just a thought.
Which video of yours did you use a paper clip to prevent the canopy from coming loose?
P-39 1.2m - you made me think!!!
Hey Brian this video helped me alot. What size screwdriver do I need for the 4 wing hex screws?
I can't recall, but I assume it'll be 2mm like almost all the planes we do..
Here's a link to the set I use... WIHA Metric Driver Set amzn.to/3gykJIb
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks brian
Brain,where can buy a large capacity batteries of NX8? thank you
I'm totally new to flaps Brian. Could you confirm with me the more aggressive angled flaps are take off flaps and the middle setting is landing flaps? Do you use both positions or are you only using the most aggressive position? So their main purpose is to create more lift so you can come in slower to land?
The more deflection is for Landing. The LESS deflection is Takeoff.
Flaps change the shape of the wing, and reduce stall speed. They also induce more drag, so they can help slow the plane down, while not dropping into a stall. Additionally, they make it easier to point at the runway (fly down hill) and not pick up speed. This helps for full scale planes, so the pilots can SEE better.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you Brian much appreciated for the detailed response 👍🏾
Brian just purchased and maiden my P51. Have a quick question. When binding the plane the manual tells you to do it while sitting on the mains and tail wheel. I noticed you did it while sitting level on the stand. Which way is correct?
I’m asking because during my maiden the plane wanted to climb at any throttle response above 35%. I had to put almost full down trim to make it stop climbing. I’m not sure if this was a result of rebinding it sitting on the tail wheel or not. I rechecked the elevator to make sure it was level and it was. Just to clarify I did set the elevator trim back to center when I checked the elevator.
By the way love your videos and I’m one that watches them even when they are 3 hours long. Thanks for what you do for the hobby. My wife may not agree! I’ve become obsessed.
Just got back into it after loosing interest when I was a teenager. Already up to 7 planes and only been back at it for 8 months.
Humm....didn't realize the manual called for on the wheels - how exactly are you supposed to do that BEFORE you can open the gear?!?!? LOL
As for the "proper" way, give it a try BOTH ways and see what happens "my way" (in the plane stand OR propping up the tail wheel to make it like it's flying) then check out how the elevator responds with SAFE on.
Thanks for the question, but you'll learn a lot trying this, so hope you don't take offense to me asking you to try it ;) I know you're gonna get more out of this exercise , then my just answering it....plus it'll only take about 5 minutes - Good luck!
@12:45 "Going into the second hole", "sounds like fun"? 🤣😱🤣
A lot can happen in 30 seconds
Yep ;)
Hey Brian,
Considering a mustang would you recommend the 1.5 or the 1.2? Which did you find more fun to fly?
1.2m for sure. 1.5m is harder to fly and land BY A MILE.

I’m just getting back into flying quads again and I’d like to buy either the NX6 or the NX8. What is the reason for getting the NX8 compared to the NX6? All information will be very helpful.
Only about $40 more for one extra channel...an extra knob on top and two additional trim buttons. It also has a lanyard, which is really nice!
The NX6 is great, and if the extra 10% or so puts you over the edge, it will do 95% of the planes in the near term...but the NX8 gives you a little room for to try to "future proof" yourself a bit.

Hi Brain, I started getting RC planes by watching you. I know you have done the Eflite Corsair, would you ever do a redo on it again?
I would do it again. We could do a second thoughts on it any time we have a second.
I bought 3 planes after your reviews and thank u for what u do and Thx for your response. On your video at 1.56.37secs. You talk about trimming. Can u do a video on trimming on this plane? I take off and my P51 loses steering before i take off such as going to left or right. also, I think it's also all over the place in air. I would like to know more on trimming.
The reason you're struggling to trim is you're thinking of trimming on the ground vs in the air. They are two different beasts...especially with he P-Factor of a warbird.
Get it flying, then trim it out. If you have a bad behavior on landing, then make the mechanical trim on the tail wheel, but on TAKEOFF, you're probably experiencing the pull and torque from the power of the prop trying to "SPIN" the plane into the wrong position, and this is a common occurrence with warbirds. You will have to spend many many takeoffs to get this under control, if you're new. It's hard, but when you get it, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment.
@@BrianPhillipsRC it makes sense. Thank you.
Hello Ryan and camera crew, I have a quick question I like the June Nite and the focke wulf 190A. What would be the better choice as flight envelope. They both look like great planes, the focke is almost double the price. But what plane do you think would be the better purchase. June nite or save a little longer and get the focke
This is Brian, as in BrianPhillipsRC...
The June Nite (1.2m) is in a different size class than the FW190...which is 1.5m...which means basically it's about half the size...I know that sounds crazy...it's only like 300mm different...well, yeah, but it's basically double the size ;)
As for the P-51D 1.5m vs the FW-190 1.5m - go for the FW - flies better, more cool details, and I like it a lot better for landings.
As for the 1.2m P-51D June Nite - it is awesome, and you'll never regret getting this plane, if you're ready for a war bird...I assume you're flying out of SAFE, and pretty competent as an RC pilot??? If so, get the 1.2m June Nite and LOVE it for a while, then consider the FW, which is really nice too. It flies more than a little better than the 1.5m P-51D...which is a bummer, in my opinion, but it is what it is - I don't get to pick which one is better, but I can say with certainty...it is better. The P-51D is WAY faster, but the P-51D 1.5m is really squirrelly on landings too ;(

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for the reply. And yes im experience in flying. I really like your reviews there the best
Brian, I have a question. I want to get this model. I’ve already contacted Horizon and confirmed that they do not sell it without a receiver or with the receiver of my choice, which would be an AR637T and an Avian ESC. Do you think it would be worth the additional expense to replace what is shipped in the BNF version of this model with the AR637T and Avian ESC? I’d like the telemetry, especially the battery voltage warnings so I don’t have to use a timer and guess. What do you think? And, would there be any other advantages to making that change? Great review. I’m at 2:18 now and really enjoying the NX8 setup detail.
No. I would HIGHLY recommend the BNF. It's plenty good. IF you were into Futaba, or JR, or Jetti Transmitters, then I'd say, you'll need to get the PNF, but in this case, and most of the time with BNF's, they're way better value, and the additional telemetry isn't enough to justify additional expense, in my opinion.
IF YOU DO, you can still get the BNF, and just get the Avian ESC for the per cell voltage, I believe.
@@BrianPhillipsRC As always, thanks for the advice. I did buy the receiver and avian esc to retrofit an older plane, a P51, that I found challenging. Hung it from the ceiling before wrecking it. Now with my NX8, new electronics and SAFE it is a real pleasure to fly. SAFE level and angle limits are a real confidence building feature. It allows me to try some full control flying while always having that SAFEty net there for me. Thanks.
Hello Brian, THX Your Videos are the Best !! I Bought the new NX8 and a HABU STS and F15 from Eflite. :-) One Question about your Model setup ,..why do you don´t use the ready to go preset-installed Models from Spektrum engineers in the BNF File on the Radio ? in Menue Select Model ...? I found my f15 Eagle and selcted ist afterwards bind also in the Menue under forward Programming and fly :-) :-) so easy and cool ..
Because I want to teach people to use this very powerful tool. If you just download the setups, you'll probably never learn how to do it for any future PNF planes.

Hi there!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hello !
Brian:
Have YOU tried any of the open tx transmitters? If so, good or bad?
(Every Bnf plane I have are from horizon. The safe is best for maidens, then click it off!)
I have used the Jumper, T8SG....and wasn't overly impressed for a variety of issues...namely, setup was a huge pain, but that's largely due to my inexperience in the Open Tx platform, and not so much an incrimination of the tech.
@@BrianPhillipsRC
I tried the tx16s. Ended up returning it & getting a dx8e. 😁
I’m torn , Brian. I can’t decide between the P51 and the Corsair. I currently have the T28 and would consider myself an average pilot. Suggestions?
You best landing love it.
Thanks!
Greetings from the UK!...
Beautiful plane... Can your NX8 link to the Spektrum dongle to use the laptop trainer software? Cheers!
YES, for sure...we even used the "Batman" controller from one of our night vapors, so my smallest boy could try his had at flying.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you! 👍🏻
Anyone want to start a pool on how long until he's got an NX10 too? :) I'm guessing before the end of the year. Also, how much longer than your long videos is their upload time?
I'll help you with your pool...I was told "NO"...but I would not be upset if they twisted my arm with an ix20 ;)
Let that muddy your waters - LOL!!!!!
Hey Brian, just received my nx8 and when I try updating the firmware from 3.03 to the newest 3.06 it just goes to the spectrum screen with the status bar then it just flashes off and on while the status bar never moves?
I had mine do some strange stuff, but I assumed it was a poor connection to the internet.
Might want to call up Horizon Hobby tech support on this one. If it's working, you'll be fine to use without the Latest and Greatest. Then when you update, everything should come over just fine.
@@BrianPhillipsRC just wanted to let you know I figured it out after I finally visited spectrum website. I needed to update to 3.05 before I could do 3.06 per their instructions. I did just that and the newest 3.06 updated with no issues. I appreciate your getting back and maybe this could help others if they come across it. Still loving the channel FYI
Excuse me if I’m incorrect, but didn’t you already review a p-51 1.2m, or did e-flite release a new one? Just curious.
Edit: Also, are those tires rubber or foam? They look super high quality
Yes, he did review the June Nite a few months back, however this one has the new AR631 receiver...and it's just a sweet model!! :)
Yes, and I thought I had mentioned it in the video ;) I really like this plane, and have done it three times, technically...once with Esteban's plane, and twice with two of them mine as well....then once back when it was a "Blonde" 1.2 - GREAT plane too!
The 1.5m P-51 Mustang was a whole different animal!
a NX8 should be next big purchase before I buy another plane.
Good call!
What were your actual duo rates and expo after all, did you adjust anything after the flight? I noticed on other footage you’ve been sticking with the rate 90 and expo 30 etc. did you do eventually do the same for this plane?
I do the same general setup, and don't believe I changed for this one...
All three axis of control
------- Switch F ------
Position ---- Expo --- Rate ----
0 --- 5% --- 100%
1 --- 10% --- 100%

Bind the NX8 up to the Habu . -- Timber {both}
I've already bound to transmitters that work exactly the same ;) Just follow along with your NX8 ;) My DX18 works exactly the same ;)
Brian, you’ve had the NX8 for a while now so perhaps you’ve already started to set up Flight Modes, but if not, give it a try. That little control stick trick you do to set up your SAFE/A3X switch is unnecessary.
Ooops, I was wrong here. You do need to do that because the receiver that comes with the P51 does not allow you to set up Flight Modes that activate Safe/Level etc. Now that I have mine that came as a surprise. Another surprise was that the ESC is not Smart compatible, so no in flight battery telemetry. I’ve gotten spoiled with my other models, having those features. It’s a bit of extra expense but I’ll probably replace the ESC with an Avian ESC, and the receiver with a 637T. After I do that the following comments will be useful, but for the stock B&F model they do not apply.
If you use Flight Mode, you can assign one to each of three switch positions (a reason to use a different switch) and have one for SAFE level and limits, middle for limits only, and the third position for no limits, full aerobatic. The other advantage of setting up Flight Modes is that is how you access the PANIC feature, which I assign to the bind button. Set Panic to go immediately to Flight Mode 1 (SAFE), and then enable Panic on Flight Modes 2 and 3. Its a nifty feature that allows you to do and emergency rescue when in a screaming stall/spin. A guy who flys as well as you might not need it, but I do, and others might as well.
I’ve started purchasing new receivers for al my plans and refitting them, some got new Avian ESCs as well. The availability of SAFE, Panic, Limits and the nice timing and mixing on the NX8 have transformed flying RC for me. I have to thank you for getting me headed down this road. It was your videos that opened my eyes.
I'm so glad I could bring some help, but looks like you're off to the races now!!!
These new Rx'es are amazing! It's incredible how much better the planes fly with stabilization!!!
Ive always used Futaba when I was flying, simply bc they were prob the only thing out there at the time. Are they even a thing now? Seeing how youve prob used everything out there, do you have a video showing the differences in radios, i.e. the DX_e models, the DX models, and the ITX models? Are the DX 18, 9 and such even worth looking at on the used market if youre just getting back into the hobby? I simply love your videos, not only showing the many planes, but also the radio setup. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I have used quite a few protocols. YES, Futaba is still a thing, but not my "go-to", as it was many years ago when I was into RC as a kid.
As for the differences, if you're talking AIR Transmitters, NX10 or NX8 will be amazing for most people, but if you have the money, IX14 or IX20 would be your thing!!!

nice plane brian. i wanted to buy the mustang too but i decided on the air tractor. :)
I think the P-51 is on sale right now??? Maybe BOTH???
@@BrianPhillipsRC the p51 (1.2m) is unfortunately sold out in germany. The new p51 is still too expensive for me.
Have ever had to take out a warp in a foam stabilizer?
I have had a few, but never actually taken the warp out. It's supposed to be easy, and I've fixed foam before, but not to straighten a stab.
I have the same plane and I'm astounded with how straight you can keep it at takeoff. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to keep it from torquing wildly to the left.
This is a practice makes perfect thing. P-Factor is the torque that comes from the prop spinning up to speed, and it's a real issue for many rc planes. I have to use a lot of rudder to counteract this strong tendency to veer off on takeoff...
@@BrianPhillipsRC It's amazing how much better one gets with a little practice. Since posting my comment, I've become a pro at this plane. I crashed it early on (It was my second plane after the Apprentice S) so I have a new one hanging from the ceiling waiting for its maiden. But the old one flied so well and just won't quit! I love this war bird! BTW, I love the "red rake" also. Lol! Been flying that a lot lately and it's also an awesome plane.
Nice
Thanks
