    I appreciate your honesty in warning people that these aren't a 1st or 2nd edf jet...maybe a 3rd. You have crazy piloting skills..especially what you fly & where you fly it! Obstacles all around you...alot of people dont have those kind of skills. So, good on you for warning them.
    Sweet planes...good job on the vids👍

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 3 lety

      Thanks Chris! I know for a fact that there's so many way better pilots out there, but I DID learn to fly in "tighter" quarters, and for me, it's kinda normal. Some guys think it's the same as flying with a wide opened flying field, but it's honestly NOT...there's good and bad that goes with it. Good, it FORCED us to stay close for filming. Bad, it's a lot harder to shoot landings on a FAST plane like this. This plane flies GREAT, but it needs time and a LONG shallow glide slope to get in at the right speed....this helps to keep the gear from getting bent, like I did ;) OR there's just more flying, and more practice and playing with CG to get it WAY back without making the plane fall over on it's side in a NASTY low level stall ;(

    Hey Brian I can't thank you guys enough for these honest flights and repairs. Its helped me greatly. I know this comment is probably over a year late but I just started this amazing hobby back in April. I fly this beautiful bird at my local airfield and land on a grass runway and have had to replace that nosewheel axle myself. The nose gear axle thread is reverse threaded, if you turn clockwise to remove it they come out fairly easily plus HH sells them at a reasonable price too which is great.

    Hi, Brian just joined your site. My grandson who just turned 10 and I just turned 69 have been watching you on You Tube. Really enjoy. Just getting into RC Plane Flying. Retired from the USAF. Have at least 1,100 hours of flying under my belt, not as a pilot, just going around TDY (temporary duty assignments). Really have learned a lot just from watching you. My call sign is "BOMBER" and my little wing man grandson is "ICEMAN."

      @@BrianPhillipsRC It was such a pleasure to hear from you. Yes, I purchased the Apprenticed STS 1.5M from Horizon Hobby. I watched you put the flaps on your Apprentice STS 1.5M your friend gave you. I'm going to join the RC Club in Perry, GA. I live here in Warner Robins, GA. The President of the Club is going to teach me how to fly for free which is a blessing on the buddy system after I get some flying hours in on the RF9.5 Flight Simulator I bought from Horizon Hobby. I haven't opened the Apprentice yet, it is still in the box. I opened it to check it out to make sure it was OK when I received it. Wish I bought the Turbo Timber 1.5 BNF instead, since it had flaps. I'm going to see if Horizon will let me send it back. It's past their return policy. If not I'll try to sell the Apprentice and buy the Turbo Timber. Just don't have any experience in installing the flaps on Apprentice. If I did I would keep it. Thanks again for replying. Hunter, my grandson was thrilled to know you replied to my email. He really likes watching you on You Tube. Also, you have a beautiful family. I will be married to my wife this July 11 for 45 years. She is 1/2 Native American (Cherokee). Her Indian name is "Golden Hair." RICKEY PHILLIPS "BOMBER" & "WINGMAN"

    You are absolutely the very first person I have ever seen successfully change out a retract without purchasing parts exclusively from the company that made the jet! Great job

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 3 lety

      Thanks Tuna! I HATE buying parts, BUT on retracts, it's just the better option...when we run these "early" release flights, this sorta thing is almost bound to happen, since we CAN'T get them many times, this time included - LOL!
      I know this screw repair will probably bend too ;( BUT, if it bends the right way, I can just turn it 180 degrees, and get back at it, then when it breaks off, I'll just swap it out. I'd like to put a brass sleeve over the screw to thicken up the assembly a bit, but still allow it to come off if I'd have a real rough landing. Maybe SS would be better, since it'd be stiffer??? Not sure the best answer, but I know that a large part of my issue on that item was the short strip and short flying circuit, but this is what I LOVE. I love the simulated carrier landings!!! I'll be doing a couple flapperon videos soon, so keep an eye out to see how much better (or worse) she performs. You don't want to have to crash yours, so let me do it to mine for you - LOL!!!!

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 3 lety +1

      The Thunderbird is heavier, I believe...it's a bit bigger too, but more wing area too, if I'm correct in my guess...
      As for the grass, it's a work in progress, and it's a pain in the butt! I need to top dress this whole front yard area, but that's gonna take about 5 truckloads of good black dirt, and 2-3 truckloads of sand - LOL.
      We JUST got a grapple for our tractor on Friday, so we'll be clearing some downed trees in the near term, then I'll have access to a large 3 acre part of our property for delicious, near perfect soil!!! Can't wait to get it RIGHT, then I'll make a place to store our hay back there too. This will happen over the course of a few months, or all year, possibly longer, but I new I wouldn't be able to tolerate anything less than "in town" grass ;( - Everyone ELSE was right - LOL!

    Really appreciate the honesty in this segment. We all get a reality check now and then. That landing gear is impressively robust for sure! Your work-around was great.

    Adding flaperons is a must..as without flaps no pilot could pull of a batter landing. Might as well employ Aircraft carrier systems too
    1. tailhook on plane and wires on runway to engage tail hook
    2. Arresting net as last resort
    3. Latest beacon following computer assisted landing system.

      @@BrianPhillipsRC I would disconnect then reconnect all connections used for audio in your setup (a couple times) to clean/re-seat the contact surfaces inside the plugs, especially if they don't get disconnected very often. Worth a shot, hope it helps! If problem persists, there could be a bad spot in a wire, the interference seems to be triggered when you are moving.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  Před 3 lety

      That would be nice, except I think it'd REALLY screw up the model when it caught a fast moving plane. HOWEVER, we need to use the TWO pop-bottle arrestor cord idea. I keep talking about it, but never use it.... basically, you drop a string from one side to the other, with a bottle of water on either end, and land, getting the gear caught in the string, and you slow down from the bottles pulling out in a "semi-controlled way. I've heard of guys doing it, but I want to try it myself :)
