#rc #airplane #p40
You finally had to go and do it! You did the one plane that I have had a love for since watching a John Wayne movie of the Flying Tigers as a young kid with my father. No other plane touches my my heart more than the P-40. The second in my heart is the Spitfire.
You will love when I fly Esteban's Hangar 9 Spitfire from the back then ;)
I have John Wayne in my p40 they sell it on eBay
Spitfire looks cool but the landing gear stability is a hair retarded, no offense.
Hello, the originals have the most airplane sounding engine there is. Love sound. " Termites! "
This past weekend, I took my 7 year old son to the local field to see planes for the first time. We're in a season of life to get into the hobby together, after some difficult times. I've wanted a P-40 for decades, and this video helped me decide which one to get. We will both be learning together on a 3-ch Champ I picked up at a great price.
Thank you for the channel. Also, I love the chalk board message on the electronics counter. God bless, y'all.
Thanks Chris! Glad you're making the time to enjoy this hobby with your son. P-40 is a fun plane you will surely enjoy. Good luck with it!
P.S. Glad you get the message ;)
Gorgeous plane! The P-40 has been one of my favorite warbirds since I was but a wee lad.
It's a beauty for sure!!!
That sunset flight reminded me of a fighter returning to base after a mission. The way Megan can follow a plane that you are flying erratically makes me think she would have been an ACE anti-aircraft gunner. A three hour video and not a Dynam? Haha.
I literally just added this to my wish list on Horizon's website. Looks like a great plane!
It is great. My only issue with it is the livery, but since it's historical, it gets a pass ;)
Awesome video Brian.
I just got this plane, did my build and radio setup yesterday, without your video
I would of been lost with the CG and other small details. So it very much appreciated what you and your wife do here.
You guys do an awesome job making these build and flight video's
Keep it up.
Thanks guys love your work. 👍👍
It's nearly summer over here in Australia 🇦🇺
So hopefully I can get some decent frying in.
Glad we could help! We have the smaller one coming real soon too ;)
Great video as always brother! This helped me put mine together. Thanks for all of the detail in your build and radio set up portion. It was nice seeing how you configure your radio. I turned it into a monster with a 6S pack and a 100 amp Castle ESC. I also switched the spinner and prop. It is a speed demon and well over 100 mph now...
WOW! Cool - I was AMAZED this BIG plane was a 4S power system.
As for flying...I got a replacement prop, and would like to get her back in the air soon!
Where did you get your prop and spinner?
One of my all time favorite planes. Love flying this one. Don't sit on the fence with this one guys. Always keep up elevator when taxing either on grass or paved. She is light in the tail.
Yeah, but my "back yard" is not smooth, either, keep in mind.
@@BrianPhillipsRC right, I understood. The tail is light. I have it pop up with minimal throttle on pavement. Awesome plane!
Excellent filming. Great audio. Congrats on 100,000 subscribers.
Thanks Jeff!
What a beautiful sailplane flying field. Gotta be some great thermals kicking up back there...Nice looking P-40. My dad flew these for 2 years AVG.
Oh yeah!
The P-40 Is my favorite old school War Bird. Thanks for the video!
I've been wanting one for years, but never had it on the doorstep till this one showed up.
I have one...love it! Always been one of my favorite warbirds.
Love the back 40! Oh my…it’s a Great time to get back into RC Airplanes.
I didn't know you had stopped?!??!?!?!
Thanks for this video man. 👍
Within the past 2 weeks I've ordered the FMS 1.7m F7F, Eflite 1.2m June Nite P-51 and Eflite 1.5m FW 190A. This P-40 has been on my list for a few years, might just be my next acquisition. 😎
Don't feel bad about the nose overs, I'm surprised it did so well in that damn hay field lol. 🤣
Yeah, me too! I was bummed I broke the prop, but she did nose over a few times. I would need to roll out the "runway" part if I wanted great results.
Beautiful aircraft ! my all time favorite warbird. Love the field flying it looks awesome on camera too ! Thankyou for all the hard work that you and camera crew put into to these videos . My favorite channel to watch .
Thanks AAA ;) We're glad you're here with us, email for your other quesiton (address in the "About" tab). I'll reply there, but I deleted your comment, and I can explain more there. Not upset with you...can explain more there.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thankyou man will do
Sent ya the email brotha . Not sure how my email address will show up but I put my youtube name in the subject . No rush man. Thanks again for the help :)
Thank you guys
thank YOU!!!
Ooo that historic livery got my heart racinnnggg. My misses saw my face when i started watching you fly and was like oh god he found another one lol and my son goes daddy can we get this . So you already know i have to..
Great video very informative and helpful for the tips and such you give will come im handy for me when i get one of these
AWESOME! Glad you enjoyed it. Great flying, and beautiful plane!!!
War birds are my favorite This P 40 looks awesome and seems to perform very well Nice flying Brian Great job as always Camera Crew 🔥👍✌️
Agreed - great flying plane!!!
Your video convinced me to go out and get one of these! Really looking forward to a second thoughts video for it. Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome, and thank you! I have the prop sitting on the wing awaiting repair. I need to get it done. We'ill try for it, but we have about 7-8 items all about to show up at the EXACT SAME TIME - so annoying!!! We've been in a gap in production, to a degree, which is good since we were both sick, and we've been working on a big deal for the past 3 weeks (more to come on that soon - actually it's killing me not to share about it.)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I actually just got my blades in today. Had a pretty nasty wingtip stall and used your toothpick method for repairs.(works great btw) I understand the high volume. Im looking forward to those videos as well as the "big deal"(I won't tell if you choose to share lol) Glad you and "Camera Crew" are feeling better. Stay safe!
What a beautiful place to put in a proper rc runway!
I want to have a real strip here so badly!!!
Wow! Thank you both simply “ Comprehensive “
You bet! Thank you Danny!
Another great video. Especially appreciative of the radio setup. I left a couple Instagram messages regarding your experience or lack thereof of the AR630. After watching this review I think I will go with the AR 631 reviewed in this video. I have four warbirds that I need to convert as you said from an antiquated (no AS3X or Safe) systems. I also have to finish a 20 year old Japanese Zero model. I also own 2 gas models that are old Futaba channel 52s. It was kind of funny for that old system. I will need seven receivers, and at least one ESC. I'll be sure to get the stuff through your links. Thanks again for the great information as I have been out of the hobby for 15 years due to spinal injury.
Make sure you consider the AR637T if you're going into a bigger, longer range plane. The range is a lot longer on the AR637T than the AR631...
AR631 bit.ly/3pYNC3c
AR637T bit.ly/3pW3u86
AR8360T bit.ly/3dKg4n6 (this one has 8 channels too - I haven't showed this one yet, but we have a few)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks again for the info. Will get the AR637T for the gas models.
That sunset fits the warbird perfectly :o) Love it!
It does, for sure!
Flying over the hills of Germany even the fence line looks like a hedge row... Sooo sweet!
Thanks! I hadn't considered that point of view!
You do a great job with the planes you put together and set up. I watch your channel on CZcams alot to help me with my rc planes that I have.
Thanks Bryan! We're glad you're here with us!
I watch you for inspiration, I just started one of my instructors is Criag Swan the pitcher for the Mets he is so cool. The highlight of my life. I did great in the air but need a lot of work with take off and landings. My first cox line plane was the P 40. Hope to work up to it one day. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Very cool Neil! Good luck. Keep at it! You can do it, but it doesn't happen if you don't put in the time and practice a lot. The good news is every time you see a limp flag, you'll be wanting to get in the air!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC that's funny they just today put up a new flag. He threw the old flag in the garbage I asked if I could have it. If your ever near naples fl. I'm sure you'd like the people. I'm strange taking off and landing I need a lot of practice, but when I'm in the air I was doing figure 8s one time in expert I know cus I was doing very tight turns like the one you just did. You an ace. By the way we have x American airline pilots and one flew DC3s . Amazing people that still are flying.
This plane is awesome! Guess I'm adding another one to my list 🤷♂️.
AWESOME! DO IT ;)
Hey Brian I recently sold my Eflight 1.2m P 39 aricobra and ordered the FMS P 40b flying tigers 1400mm, I'm looking forward to assembling & flying it now that I know the assembly issues, great video guy's 😉👍🛩
Nice! Have fun!!!
I love this plane. Flying a sport receiver no problem. I have some 5500 60c Gens Ace 4cell that now I think I’ll try in the plane. Thanks
Thanks Craig!
I'm watching your video and putting my P-40 together as well. I have all spektrum and to be honest I had no idea that you can cycle the gear with the Spektrum BTRY and cell/servo checker like the way you did. I'm going to be putting together a Seagull P-47 Little Bunny sold by Gator-RC now since I'm done with the P-40. Great video
Thanks!So glad you picked up a new tool for the tool bag! Hope you'll keep coming back for more!
It sounds so good!!
Agreed!!!
I fixed the issue with the landing gear doors using a couple of small magnets epoxied to the door and gear mount. Worked great.
The buzzing??? Awesome, Thanks!
Much better place to fly, I wish I could have one of this!! I believe it’s a dream for gliders landings.
Totally is, with the uphill grade, no less!!!
Wow Brian, so similar to my P-39 Aerocobra.
Great flying spot.
It is so much bigger than the 1.2m Eflite one, if that's what you mean (or did you mean the 800mm FMS?)
Ask and ye shall receive awesome aircraft looked like it was flying in grass hills of Germany or England or something. Thanks guys, congrats on the 100,000 plaque best duo on You tube!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Crutch!!!
You did great, nice flying.
Thanks! More to come ;)
The sound of that dude was off the hook. I never liked the sound of electric but that made a believer it of me.
It is cool! Wish I wouldn't have hit the prop at the end....I'm waiting for a replacement prop ;(
That plane looks cool.
It sure is. I have the prop to fix it, and want to get in a second thoughts video soon. Such a beautiful presence in the sky!
Great video Brian, sunset flight on your huge land was great. Really surprised on the wings connecting gaps and how tight the screws should be to get the gaps ok.
Me too, but all is well now ;)
Probably my favorite warbird!!
It's a good flier! We got our props and will be grabbing some more footage soon ;)
Brian Oh yeah. Love the alternate location. Yep, need to get the zero turn out and cut you an airstrip. That P 40 is a really nice FMS warbird. Kind of underrated model in my opinion. Rich Baker is a cool dude. If you could break away sometime and come to Triple Tree Aerodrome in Woodruff, S.C. Home of “Joe Nall” and “Nall In The Fall” you could meet Rich as well as other cool Friends of your channel like myself....😁 I know you a busy man and it would be a little journey for you but it would be well worth your time. Triple Tree is like the “Disney” of RC. You would love it. 😎 P.S. If I knew you could come I would furnish you a plane and a radio.
I want to make it, but right now I don't think it's in the cards - just too busy yet. This is gonna be something we can do soon when my work is less of a factor...which might be another two - three years of grinding. It's amazing to think how far we've come since we got really serious on this CZcams journey, but out time is split so bad right now.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Oooook. I know what your saying. But-you, Megan, and family need to get away as soon as you are able. Nothing like seeing your friends in YT land in person. 👍
Nice plane dude. I wish I had that plane. I just got a carf models p51 mustang and I love it. It was a partnership build and it is huge. 100” wingspan. Ran on dle85
NICE!!!! 100" is huge and cool!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I know, right
@@BrianPhillipsRC also, congratulations on 100k, I just finished watching your plaque video
Loo
Brother you are blessed with all that land all for your self!!! By the way I love your vids and great flying skills hope to get to your flying skills some day LOL.. anyhow congrats brother...
Thanks! We love it, and have more than you see in this video now ;) We bought the property up at the crest of the hill, so as the trees widen up, all the way down to the intersection - I was flying from where the end of my manned runway will be in this video - can't wait to make this happen!!!
Pretty good flying there Capt. Wild Bill Kelso.
LOL
My June Nite doesn’t like grass takeoffs 🛫. Nice flight . You definitely keep us entertained 😲.
The 1.2m warbirds are quite a bit smaller, keep in mind...this is 1.4m
I found that with the June nite on grass, if you take off in safe mode, there is less nose-over. I think that is because oddly, in safe mode, there is more elevator travel. Or you can add more servo travel in the servo settings I suppose. Back the batteries up a tad too. About 1/2" back from the leading edge of the tray. Don't worry, it won't be tail heavy.
Hi Brian and camera crew. SOUNDING GREAT. Anyway a Bit off subject first. Please bare with me. What I REALLY want to say is and I MEAN THIS. I LOVE that you REALLY DO READ EVERYONE'S comments. LOADS of INFLUENCERS SAY and PRETEND they do. So EASY to just like EVERYONE'S comments. Church a heart next to it will keep them HAPPY. NOT YOU SIR. A GREAT HELPFUL ANSWER TO EVER GENUINE QUESTION. MEANS LOADS TO ME THANKYOU FOR TREATING US SUBSCRIBERS WITH RESPECT SIR. PS GREAT REVIEW VIDEO AS ALWAYS.🇬🇧🇺🇸♥️💯👍😋
I do, and it is some of the most rewarding moments in this journey, but it is also the hardest part of this journey too, since my time is being split in so many directions. I DO care and Megan DOES care (And we know you get it), but there will come a time that we physically can-not do it 100% any more. When that time comes, we know that some will be hurt, but our hope is that we will have a special way to keep our most loyal supporters first and foremost.
Here I am, at 12:59AM on July 4th, making comments while my family is eating dinner....seriously - that's HOW crazy this thing has become. Most people don't believe me, but the REAL sacrifice, is from my family. I LOVE THIS STUFF, and my boys kinda think it pretty cool too, and Megan is super supportive, but to a limit. We're getting dangerously close to implosion, so I'm working hard to try to garner enough support to open the chute on what we have... This is harder than it looks. It's more time consuming that it looks, and it's a lot more stressful than it looks. You guys see all the "HIGHS" but none of the "LOWS"... that's not to say that there's not some great value coming to us (Finally) ...opportunities, some money (not enough just quite yet), stuff (of course...that's a BIT of a double edged sward), and relationships.... but at the end of the day, we're trying HARD to work out how to make this our REALITY.
Glad you're here with us Mike. We are REALLY here for you guys ;)
Hit 👍 w/o watching. 😁 A fave !! Nice Flying spot for this Warbird.
Nice! Thanks!!!
I like it back there.and I like the P 40.trying to decide if I get warbird or EDF next. As if I don’t have enough already.
But it’s so damn pretty’s back there.
Yes it is, and more BIG news coming about "back there" soon (Hopefully November 1st, we'll be able to share more) ;) Stay tuned!
Nice play and nice flyin
Thanks!
nice flying off that runway
Thanks!
Nothing flies scale like a war bird. I could hear the machine guns on those strafing runs...
So cool indeed!
Your read my mind I put this thing in my cart yesterday but didn’t by it because I wanted to do some research on it
Now you can just plop it right into that cart ;)

Great video. Looks like a great solution for grass ops. Question: compared to the June nite P51, does this plane need more or less right rudder on take off roll? Seems to track very well, per your video. Appreciate the time you spend explaining set-ups.
This plane is probably a touch less than the P-51 1.5m, or a touch more than the P-51 1.2m (June Nite)...
...BUT with practically all warbirds, P-factor is an issue that has to be dealt with.
It tracks well in grass, but on pavement, she's a bit "hoppy"
Hey Brian, thanks for all that you and the camera crew do. You guys have contributed heavily to the depletion of my wallet and have greatly increased my RC skills, Thanks! I have a Banana hobby P-40N Warhawk with a Spektrum AR630. Ultimately I need an 8 channel setup, but I have figured out how to combine channels. Gear and Flaps , all in Safe. Is there a way to fake out the AR630 and my DX6e for Safe / AS3X combo on a separate switch?
Great to hear!
Another Great flight Mr Brian wish I could afford these planes but out of my budget Thanks from Ohio
Thanks for watching David - we can all dream, right!!! Thanks for stopping in!
Forget the plane lol.. Where you guys live is so darn beautiful!!! That's what I want in the near future.
Central Iowa ;)
Spot is awesome... Groom yourself a nice little runway out there....
yeah
Sweet!
I agree!
This one got my attention .
It is good!!!
hi Brian
If the left and right wings don't fit like that, I wonder if they can fly well without gyro.
I was so flustered while assembling.
The left and right holes of the wing joiner are 2 to 3 mm different in height.
FMS is taking over in my book. You should try out the 70mm F18 and the Avanti. The best value in edf's, bar none !!
humm...the FMS F18 is "too close" to the Eflite, so hh doesn't want me covering it - LOL ;) They KNOW that I'll have a bunch of buys buying that instead, but reality is, I LOVE Eflite, and if they make it, I prefer it most of the time anyway!
I own both F 18's and like them equally. The FMS is easier to fly but the Eflite gear hang in the air and the sound of it, tops the FMS.
If you're taken warbirds back there you gotta bring the draco or turbo timber evolution! I'd love to see some real bush plane action!
True. Good idea!
Could it be, that FMS is much mire detailed and made with more „love“ than eflite?
No, but it's pretty awesome! Gotta keep in mind, this 1400mm size class is probably closer matched to the FW 190 - which is WAY nicer, but also more expensive too (All in).
I like both brands, but Horizon Hobby "wants" me to prefer eflite - I already do ;)
Hello, on my p40 the black box thing on each wing that you plug all the wires into all the wires came apart. But each wire isn’t labeled. So how am I suppose to put them in right order? Thanks
Guess and check, if you're not 100% sure, but then you have to 100% check and RECHECK!!!!! Do it like 3 times and make sure it's perfect before you go fly it!
Brian. I am looking for a new warbird. I am not sure which one is fitting better. The eflite Fock Wulf or this one. It would be the next airplane after the 1.2m P51D. Do you have any recommendations? I am still not that expert and I only can make grass take offs. What do you mean?
This one is going to be a bit less on the pucker factor, but the Fock is better...I also think it's more expensive too..to be fair.
I LOVE them both..get BOTH - YOLO - LOL ;) JK, don't want you to have to build a dog house to live in ;)

I ended up having to put quite a bit and nose weight on mine for some reason maybe my battery is quite a bit lighter than yours great flying plane and yes it does great on grass to👍👍👍👍
I just read, but haven't confirmed that the CG is MIS MARKED in the manual by 30mm!?!??!?! Might want to check this out before you dig too deep.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I didnt look into it at all. I set it up what ever the book said. I see you had your battery way far forward. Mine flew good just like yours took a little forward pressure on the elevator when inverted.
@@BrianPhillipsRC you are correct! There is a forum on this which states 75mm is where you want to be. It will help with the tipping over as well! You should do a second video with new CG
Bruce! Great plane! Umm,, err... Unlike most other viewers I watch my CZcams videos on my 65 Inch Samsung smart TV. When I watch almost any other content I set my volume level at 20-22 but when I tune in to your recent videos I need to level up 30-35. The end result is I watch one of your videos then go do some yard work or fly my own plane, my wife comes along and turns on the TV to one of her channels and well I catch a ration for having the volume to high.
Now this probably is my problem not yours but I'm just letting you know that something has changed recently. Your Turbo Timber Evolution video released May 27, 2021 does not have volume level problems for me. It sounds normal at my level 20.
Just FYI & OBTW Your still the best of my CZcams experiences.
Note to self... Watch the whole video before commenting...
We recently changed mics. We hope it's better now - is it getting better (I know this comment is a few weeks old...sorry, we're so far behind!!!)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yup much better. I like your new audio equipment!
An airfield and shaded flight stand would be awesome there.
Now that we own the top of the hill to the road on both sides, we have considered doing some dirt work and building a full scale runway...it will be a grass strip now, but might be a HUGE asphalt or concrete strip some day. Full scale hangar would give a great place to fly from! I don't want to make promises, but we do have the land...now we just need to win the lottery two to three more times to afford all the stuff we want to do with the land - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC that's an awesome start. 👌
Hey Brian update bro, i was asking you concerning warhawk vs eflite mustsng , i choose the warhawk dude but, turns out i hav÷ the mustang in my posession as well😏🙄😇 lol Brian thankyou for your hard work bro of keeping us in the know. You are well apreciated 💙 🤙
Cool!
I got my CG around 75mm and it rolls through the grass fine without wanting to tip. Yours seemed a bit tippy.
Well, that might be true, and I must say the grass is not super smooth here, unfortunately. If I wanted to make this my "Runway" I'd want to tamp or roll the whole thing...
Can you do a setup on the reflex v2. With spectrum. I see a lot of fms planes but no setup with the reflex gyro. A lot of fms planes are coming with the v2. Thanks
Just did, P-51 Voodoo V2 1.1m - and more coming soon too ;)
Hey what receiver did you use? I'm using the AR637T (I do with all my builds) this one I'm having a problem because right after binding the motor kicked on full throttle. Last year during court shut down I scratched built a P-38 on my maiden flite I plugged the batteries in and the same thing happened but I ended up in the ER with 40 stitches because the prop sliced up my hand like butter lol
OUCH. I have only seen the motor "START" on a couple or maybe three occasions...all while entering and exiting forward programming....now that I think about it...when EXITING Forward programming.
Stay safe out there!
@@BrianPhillipsRC forgot to ask, what did you put for wing type? I'm having trouble with forward programming when I put 1-aileron and 1-flap because when I do that my flaps will no longer work on D channel
Mow a runway in the "back 40" and use it for your second thoughts videos!
That's part of the plan, but we're growing hay there now...so not sure how I'll work this out just quite yet. At the moment, we just use it when we're freshly cut, and when we're flying some sail planes, or belly landers.
Hey Brian, how do you think this bird stacks up against the recent Eflite 1.2s, plus the 1.5m warbirds you’ve reviewed ? Cheers bro !
I have one how do you retract the landing gear
Hey Brian, hope all is well. I am trying to decide which FMS warbird I need. I will primarily be flying off grass. What is your favorite foamie warbird this far?
Thank you guys for all you do!
This one is great, and we have a few more FMS planes coming in next few weeks ;) Stay tuned!!!
What a GREAT bird! Nice flight! Soooooo......WHEN'S THE RUNWAY going in back there Brian? I KNOW you did not buy that property just because you love mowing grass!? C'mon B, we both know it's coming....but, WHEN?!
NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍
I need a plane I can fly back there first. I want an ultralight and would eventually like a small hangar back there. The grass will need to be VERY GOOD for an RC strip...OR I might pour something, possibly a THIN concrete pad. We did 6" Thick + Rebar at 18" on Center + Fiberglass Reinforcement up front so I could drive my large truck (so far about 41,000 lbs and short...but might be larger in the future), so making a couple hundred feet long strip would be significantly cheaper if I could pour it thinner.
Hi Brian, my p40 should be ariving today, i found a 4s 5000mah 75c batt. Online Im wondering if that batt would fit. Still 4s and hear that people are fitting 5s batts in it . Think it will work?
I suspect you will be fine. I flew mine on 5000mAh 4S 30C pack.
I’m watch brianphillips videos for the cats. Jk. But funny story first ever plane I got I was assembling it on my living room floor and one of my cats just walked up and bit a chunk of my wing out right on the inner corner of my aileron😂😂 love cats
Oh boy, delicious. We have a few cats that love to try to bite the planes. I think they get a lot of satisfaction from the process, and I know we've tried to condition them to "know" not to do it...but they're cats...
@@BrianPhillipsRC you are exactly right cats are cats! Sometimes I think they are trying to condition us, and we live in there world, but that’s why we love them! Hope all is well with you, camera crew, and the younglings! Can’t wait for the next video! Love the content, you do a real great job on this platform. I also do enjoy the separate unbox, build, and binds front the flights! All videos are great keep it up! Thanks for doing so much for this community Brian!
How about strapping down weed control fabric for a make due runway?
I was thinking about it
Scotty my spell check screwed up. I have a short peace of geo tech fabric that I stake down with a few wire land scape fabric stakes quick easy and it lets warbirds get rolling good and easy take off. Easy take up of fabric
NICE! So you bring it with you???
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes. 4foot wide 20 foot long piece is what I use.
Hello I have this plane but never fly with it, what is the mixing flaps and elevator? Thank you✈️👍
I show what I did in the RADIO SETUP part...but I can't remember all these setups. You can find the RADIO SETUP toward the end of the video.
OK ------------ The American Pilots under Chenault when the P-40 became famous were flying for the Chinese before America entered the War after Pearl Harbor Dec-7th. So the Aircraft had Chinese Markings, the Blue Sunburst. Sorry I did not see this until 7-12-21. Has my own P-40 back before electrics with a Gas engine.
Yes, I read a little about it, but strange circumstances for sure!
I wonder if it's possible to put a OS 25 fx in this model.
On mine the ESC had an XT60 on it. And the FMS ESC killed my AR630 so it was replaced with a Smart one. I had 3 of them fail on me so I just don’t trust them anymore so I just pull them right away.
Why did it KILL anything? That's so strange, but sorry for your bad luck on those ESC's!
@@BrianPhillipsRC it was a bad BEC in the FMS ESC that killed the RX. Did the same thing in my FMS Viper which comes with the same ESC so I might have just bad luck with them. I killed 2 AR630’s and one AR636B.
I wish there was a 1.2m sized P40.... is this comparable with the 1.5m P-51 and the FW190 as far as size and batteries needed?
So far all of my stuff uses 2200 3s packs, looking at the 1.2m P-51, and possibly the Ultimate as next plane options...
This spot is awesome for anything that doesn't need your paved "runway" ...
I totally agree with you about the 1.2m P-40 offering. It's sorely needed, in my opinion. All warbirds should be available in the 1.2m size class - GREAT SIZE.
Didn't your 1400mm P40B come with reflex installed? If so, why did you put in the AR631? The reflex is FMS version of AS3X & SAFE. You only need the AR620.
No, this plane didn't have the Reflex, since it was an earlier version. The new ones DO come with Reflex, and I'm aware of the Reflex, and it is good. AR620 would be fine, but if you want FULL control, you might want to think about the additional channels and telemetry with the AR8220T...but yeah, with HH would give us a 7 channel for these beauties.
AR620 bit.ly/2QUlyCd - okay
AR6610T bit.ly/33SYkA0 - adds telemetry
AR8220T bit.ly/3rjerTs - adds the necessary channel to turn on/off Auto-Leveling and Stabilization
(in no particular order)
1) Throttle
2) Rudder
3) Ailerons
4) Elevator
5) Gear
6) Flaps
7) Stabilizer Mode (See, you don't have enough if you want it to turn on and off - bummer, right!?!?)
8) Bomb Drop? LOL
Hey what kind of remote should I get for this plane I just bought one of them
NX8

I had the same issue with mine I thought my symmetry and measurements on the alirons and the other control surfaces set it up by the book did maiden flight went straight up from take went to bank left and she nose into the ground complete lost.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm sorry for your loss. Did you happen to check and recheck DIRECTION of CORRECTION on AS3X / SAFE? This can and WILL kill a plane, even if you're an AMAZING pilot. I've been bit by it before too ;(
I always go through the same preflight checklist before takeoff maybe my gains were to high on as3x I only had 2 modes off and mode 1 60% roll 60% pitch 90% yaw.
Brian, you think a 6s 5000mAh 50C G2 would work in this plane? It's a nice looking plane for sure! You did say it was IC/5 right? Rich, the RC Informer also said when you land with flaps to shut them off as soon as your wheels hit the runway. He stated that the flaps being down creates Lift and you want to get the tail wheel down a fast as possible so it doesn't nose over. Happy Flying!!
YES, but the ESC is not setup for 6S. I suspect you could configure it to work right.
Yes, Rich is right on grass ops, which I believe he typically does. I don't fly from grass much, but with this plane and due to the circumstances of the day, we made the decision to fly here...a bit different than our usual flying.
Nice good
Thanks!
Have you ever flew a 949 Cessna I have flew a lot of those I noticed they don't last very long but they are fun to fly I would like to see you fly one
Man thats an awesome property youve got there! You must be laughing your head off at all those miserable buggers who criticised you for flying in your street years ago. I part own a (much smaller) field myself and its a great thing to have.
JJ S - Sorta ;) We just bought another 12.46 acres too, so we're up to just under 23 acres and about to buy another 3.1 acres on the other side of the named creek ;)
P.S. Can you spare any change - LOL ;) JK - this latest land deal JUST closed about 3-4 weeks ago, and I just found out about the newest one on Friday, so still very early on ;) If we get that one too, we hope to find a friend who can't live in the city anymore - there's plenty of them around!
not sure to get this p40 or the eflight fw190? what you think?
Good question. I think if they were the same price, the FW would be the FOR SURE 100% go to...BUT they're quite a bit different...so you HAVE to take that into consideration.

I am a newbee to RC, I have an HX 8 and try to keep up with your directions but get lost. would you do a video just on transmitters and describe each move you make, otherwise I love all your videos. Keep up the good work and thanks
You mean the NX8? And you want a video that shows every move to program it, or to fly the plane?
@@BrianPhillipsRC new to computers also, yes- every move to program would be great. thanks. a lot to understand.
O and is there room in the p40 for a sound system?
I've never added one, so I can't say.
Hey Brain a 4s 5000 30c should work just fine in that P40 shouldn't it ?
Yes, especially since it comes with the IC5
I have an idea 💡. You need a portable runway back their like the Air Force back In WW2. That you can assemble and disassembled when you go to harvest you can remove it Until you build the runway 😀. You have kids. Put them to work. Lol 😃
I like the idea. I was thinking of a geotextile runway, but that crap aint cheap!!! I then was thinking about a TARP runway, but then it'll kill the grass ;( I might just need to pick a spot and start flattening it with a roller (I need one still)
Brian, I hate to ask this but I'm such a noob, I picked up a P40B 1400m unbuilt from a guy (good deal) and was wondering if you could export and send me your file for the AR631 as I'm new to the whole forward programming thing and this would be really helpful for me. I'm not as experienced as you so may change the rates but having something to go by for the AS3X setup and Safe select would really help me get through it. The only reason I bought the plane is because of your video here on the setup! : ) I might have it, watched the video several times on the radio setup... Was 1X gain on the AS3X fine when you flew it, not sure I want to complicate with an adjustable gain knob. Default safe mode settings worked well?
Rob...if you're NEW...please follow along. All the things we do, you will then also have done at least once...then you'll be unstoppable. You have to actually do it a few times, and you'll be set!!!
You GOTTA do it. Trust me. If you don't you will be undermining your abilities going forward.
If I go too fast, you might need to playback at 0.5X speed. This will help.
Brian, can one fly the P40 on a 4s 5000 50c. Does this just mean a faster burst of power?
Probably, should be no problem0 ;) Get your CG Good and you'll be golden!
