I haven't failed to notice the amount of commitment you and Megan apply to this activity...still working full time playing with scales and picky, whiny people, and I mean, we've seen you taking Atkins pizza out of the oven after 11pm. I for one greatly appreciate the effort!
This channel's depth of knowledge and experience is amazing. It has a perfect level of detail and fantastic teaching. It is the best on CZcams by far. Thank you! I will always use one of your links to access my purchases.
We really appreciate the kind words, Thanks! We hope to be able to keep putting out even better content, and love bringing our audience all the latest RC goodies!
After watching Brian and "camera crew" I had to have this plane. I ordered it yesterday from Brian's link. I hope he gets credit. He is my "go to" for all RC airplane information. The best out there as far as I am concerned. I hope to meet him some day. Thanks, Brian, for another great job of "build and review".
If you ever built models as a kid you know how difficult it is to make it look like the picture on the box. The detail on these models are amazing.
Brian, It's an ADF antenna. I learned to fly in the Beech D-18 s. Glad to see Eflite come out with this model. Been waiting for someone to come out with one for years. Hope you enjoy flying it as much as I did learning to fly the full size one.
The build and programming was so easy thanks to your superb educational video!
Beautiful video, no issues and really looking forward to getting this plane. As a newer RC Pilot, I rely very much on the information you share and appreciate to format you chose to share the info in. Great job, keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing the thrust reverse setup. That was a big help.
This plane is absolutly gorgeous and finition perfect !
I understand yours excitation, Merci !
Bought this one last night using your link. 😀
Beautiful plane. Leading edge devices are called de-icing boots. Aerodynamic shaped antenna in the back is the ADF one. Keep up with your videos. I love them
Thanks for the info!
The boots are glossy when new. They become more flat when they age. So both are scale. Love the video.
Hey Brian, I hope you, CC and kids are all well. That is one beautiful plane! It's on my to get list. I just completed my maiden of my HK Avios King Twin 1700. I can't wait to get the D18 to see if it has the same power. I don't want to get you and CC in trouble with your sponsers but the plane is gorgeous and you would love it as you do the D18!! Outstanding vid as usual.
Have one coming. Great assembly video thanks.
Awesome, thank you! This plane is amazing! I hope you fly her on 5000mAh when you get it ;)
You nailed it right out the gate.. you got uhf and vhf antennas right and the pointing to the right ones as well.
Mine arrived today! Shipped yesterday.
Very nice. It's been 20 years since I flew an RC. Maybe time to get back into it. :-)
1000000% YES
The Avian ESC manual states to set the brake force to 7 to bring the motor to a stop before selecting reverse thrust. Setting it to 0 means there is no delay and stresses the motor and prop assembly.
Mégan Phillips.
But how lucky is your husband, that it is you who film all his tests so well..
Congratulations Madame, it's really good work, I don't know what camera you are filming with, but it's super pretty to see, and then your Husband and a handsome Boy too !
Merci depuis la France .
Johnson! Wang! Willie! Woody! One Eyed Monster!..Loved the Reference. 🤣🤣
LOL - exactly!
What a beautiful plane!
Thanks!
You did it again. I will have to order first thing am!
awesome plane and great build
Thanks a lot! This plane sure is a winner!
@@BrianPhillipsRC 😁👍
Brian, please take 5 minutes and make a user list of audio events on your NX8. It will make setting them up much less painful for you and us. Takes a little effort, but once done will make programming audio event’s much less frustrating. Pro-tip: the list will appear in the order you create it, so good idea to make the list with common event’s next to each other ie: gear up/gear down, AS3X/SAFE MODE, Throttle Cut on/ Throttle Cut off etc etc. That way it’s very quick to set them up with minimal scrolling.
By the way, enjoy your videos. One of those who watches them start to finish. Always look forward to seeing new content. Yes, I do have too much time on my hands!
Thanks Frank!
This looks absolutely great Brian. I'm really liking this twin. And we don't have to wait long to get it (hopefully) it says pre order is due in Sept. I hope the regular order doesn't have the dimples in the foam, remember the twin otter? Lol That one had some dimply foam up close.
The teardrop shaped antenna is part of the radio direction finder.
Thanks!
We appreciate your support!
We can tell you know what your talking about. The word you were looking for is De-ice Boots. Most turboprop or prop planes have them. Jets just use the hot bleed air to deice them! Great video!
You two are funny. You are good at this, Brian. I've watched an unusual number.
Thanks Jeff - glad you're here with us!
Well teached... good preaching 👏 Professor i know where to get one !
Nice !
I thought so too - GREAT PLANE!!! She LOVES 5000mAh 4S
Hopefully the new Avian “Lite” ESC will provide equal rpm to each motor so there is equal thrust from low to high throttle use. My EC1500 has two ESC’s and the thrust differs between the two motors. In flight you do no notice it that much but on a yaw test apparatus it is easy to see how the model yaws left or right from low to high thrust settings. Like the Beech 18 the EC1500 has counter rotating props and helps reduce yaw from prop thrust over the fin and from gyroscopic forces.
Brian Phillips does a good job with out a manual or a standard to follow for reverse thrust or differential throttle. He created a standard for himself that works for him. I did not see him show us how he created differential thrust which is done traditionally with two throttle levers. I think he uses the left stick which moves the rudder and reduces RPM on the inboard prop. I think he uses two free mixes for rudder to left motor and rudder to right motor. I hope that the new Dual ESC can display the RPM of each prop so we can match the RPM at any throttle setting. There is no automatic synchronization or phase sensing so there will be a mismatch on RPM and noise due to no prop phasing like most 1960 and newer Lockheed C-130 H to J series designs.
Brian, They are called deicing boots not bladders. Thanks for the great videos.
Awesome video but it might be time to throw the bananas away back there.
LOL...maybe I need to start running them over with the planes too???? LOL
Whoa, a feature films worth of content.
That scrolling wheel drives me crazy that's why i got my IX12.
It is the most vulnerable of the items too, but to be honest, I've only had one screw up (knock on wood) and otherwise just used to it now...but especially with audio events, we try to show this all "Stock" but man-o-man it would be nice to make a custom list and show scrolling through 3-4 options - LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC With my IX12 I just type in what I wanted to say. And it will say anything that you wanted to
Looks like an ADF antenna *Automatic Direction Finder
Thanks Allan! ADF ;)
Can the Avian ESC in this be setup using the sticks like the other ones like the Turbo Timber Evo? This is a gorgeous airplane!
Hi Brian. I just assembled my D18 today. Question? The plane is labeled and has front and rear antenna tubes. I see you used the rear tube in your video. Reception wise is there a difference between front or rear placement? I didn't see any mention in the manual about this. Thanks.
Boot not bladder - it does not hold liquid it inflates with either bleed or pumped air - sometimes a liquid in sections to crack the ice off root to tip in sequence
Boot - got it. Thanks!
Hey Brian. Awesome plane. I got a ? About timber evolution. Aileron servo went out. I put 1 in I had from other plane. But they are both moving in the same direction. Why is this
Watched the whole video to see how you do the weight and balance before I maiden mine. Manuel is a bit confusing maybe it’s just me. Hope you do a weight and balance video.
Just put the battery 5000mAh 4S all the way forward, and you'll LOVE it ;) Sorry...we too didn't even have a manual :(
Audio Events - It's really hard to hear the difference between Throttle Cut ON and Throttle Cut OFF. I prefer "Throttle Cut" and "Motor On". Much easier to hear the difference. Much less confusion also. I'm easily confused and pretty dense sometimes, so does Throttle Cut On mean the motor runs or not? To me Motor ON or Motor Armed can only mean the props are gonna turn.
Thanks for the build and fly videos. Love how good this Beachcraft D18 Flies!
Great build video as usual but the book is kind of confusing as to the CG have you shown how to properly mark the CG and as far as the differential thrust did you set it up with the avian program box on the esc I saw on video you mentioned the rudder part of the program box
We don't even have a manual still - LOL! We got these samples without any literature - we were more than a little annoyed.
As for the CG - try to copy what I did with the battery, if you wish. 5000mAh 4S is the BEST size for this bird, and add a little extra expo on elevator and you'll be good to go!
how many channels is the plane? i only have a 6 channel transmitter and this going to be my first plane with retracts so i hope it’s only 6ch. Thanks!
Brian, you were looking at your elevator taper. Did your kit come with a wooden template? If so, that's what you use to get that elevator correct. I have not seen anyone use that wooden piece yet to set their elevator up. So, I don't know if it's in every box. Just wondering.
I like watching the unboxing and set up. I usually learn something. Watching the plane fly yeah it flies
About the antenna , it's nice but it's not gonna last...
I would love to put some floats on this. Are there any out there that would fit ?
does it come factory with a IC5 connector ? that's stupid if so
Just ordered mine from your link!
As per the manual the outside elevator hole is correct.
What size are the tires? I want to add low bounce pneumatic tires
Low bounce would be perfect, and a great idea. I've been fighting to get them to add them on stock BNF planes. They could get them sooooo much cheaper and make it a normal thing....like the FMS crawlers we've been reviewing...can you imagine how freaking sweet that would be!!!!!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I know. In bulk it would affect maybe $2 per aircraft. Ate the 3 inch stock? I want them to fit up while they retract
Wow amazing 😮
Brian great vid - I actually WON one of these at a raffle (that friends bought me tickets for!) - I want to setup reverse thrust and got the ESC programmer but I can’t find an ESC Male/Female extension anywhere (I must not know what to google!) Can you point me to where I can get a cable? Thanks!
Hello Brian,
First, I admire your skill as a pilot. Second, you are a good teacher.👍 Subject, a short time ago you did the set up on the T-28 V2. Reverse thrust. I followed the process on my new T-28 it was easy; done it before. Even though the avian program screen appeared the included ESC AE 70b is not capable of reverse thrust. I damaged it as a result. They are sending me a new one and caution not to do it again.
How did you get yours to reverse.🤔 Thank you and Megan for your tireless enthusiasm 👍.
Thanks Howard!
As for the Avian ESC (PN: SPMXAE70B - bit.ly/3L09F5X )
I've never heard of such a thing! I've personally had 20+ flights (which is a lot for me) with thrust reverse happening several times on virtually every one of them. I've had no adverse impact, and LOVE flying the T-28 1.2m V2! Thrust Reverse is one of my favorite features!!!
Who told you it wouldn't work OR that THIS caused your failure? I want to speak to the product specialist and find out WHY they are saying this.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hello again Brian.
Thank you for your genuine concern. The damage that I spoke of was the throttle taking 3+ seconds to reach full rpm. The ESC AE 70 b is programmable but it doesn't say reverse. Anyway the problem is solved. Discovered a page in the Avian program after save/exit. It is default/ exit. The motor worked normal. Why didn't the tech tell me to that ?. So once again I set the reverse and it worked ☺️.
Can't wait to get in the air. I put Dubro low bounce tires on the mains. 👍
Thank you again for your knowledge and concern.

I'm curious whether this model would fly well with no stabilization using non-Spectrum gear, including how to get differential thrust linked to rudders without a Spectrum mixing device.
I have no idea. It would be a task though...
Brain how the double hockey stick did you get you hands on this plane already?!! It hasn't been released to the average mortals yet...
So my buddy bought this plane now that's it available, he got the PNP version. He doesn't use a Spektrum radio or a Spektrum RX. When you set up this plane (dual ESC's) you used the programming box because you wanted REVERSE THRUST, you found out later in the video that DIFFERNTIAL THRUST was already activated. Is diff. thrust a product of the ESC (factory programming) or is it there ONLY if you are using a Spektrum TX and RX????
I told him diff thrust is already activated by the manufacturer but he insist's that it will only be available if he uses a Spektrum radio and Spektrum RX and buys the little programming box.
So again, is it already turned on but only available if you use Spektrum TX & RX or will it be usable with other hardware?
Thx in advance
This is controlled as a function of the SMART ESC and SMART Rx. I'm not 100% sure if you can command the DIFFERENTIAL THRUST with a "non-SMART" rx, since this is using the Rudder Signal to produce the differential.
This being said, I know you can use TWO separate ESC's and accomplish differential thrust, if you wish.
I hope I answered your quesiton fully.
What do you do if you dont fly Spectrum?
I have the opportunity to get this or the FMS P51 Dago. Which one would you prefer?
This for sure! 100% Hands down. you'll have fun with the P-51, no doubt, but this plane is way nicer!!! (But it's more money too, so unfair fight)

Hey Brian I'm hoping you can help me it's because of you I got into the RC planes and I just got a warbird 800 mm F4U Corsair I'm having trouble flying this one I can fly my other ones this one I haven't flown it yet it just keeps crashing but I was wondering what are my stick priorities supposed to be set at I just looking through my nx6 and it says the rolls 160 pitch 160 in yours 160 is that normal thank you for any help on how to fly this thing
Small planes can be challenging. Can you copy the setup of a similar plane we've done in the past? We have done several with AS3X/SAFE.
Brian what do you think of grass ops with the D18? Thanks
I think it would be fine, but need a smooth runway...something I'm still striving for ;)
I’d like to see a 1.5m C47 from e Flite.
yeah, that would be nice!!!! So many great planes...and I'd like to see it in TWIN liveries...one Silver as GA (DC3), and one Olive Drab for Military (C-47)
Don't forget to PRE-ORDER before 9/16/2022 to get a coupon code via email for HALF OFF the 5000mAh 4S and IC5 to IC3 adapter!!! This is by far the BEST size battery for this plane, and we'll cover it in our "Second Thoughts" coming soon.
Beechcraft D18 bit.ly/3x7dRea
Very glad to see something new! Just not diggin this pre order nonsense.
My ESC has a high pitched tone that is constant like yours is doing. Setup per instructions. Reset to defaults. Loaded setup from Spektrum. Still makes the tone. Pulled elevator and rudder servos, went quiet. For a minute. Frustrating. All functions work.
It's not your ESC. It's the noise the servos make. Digital servos make a lot of corrections, and this CAN make a audible resonant frequency. You should hear the Carbon Z Cub SS OR the Carbon Z Cessna 150T if you think this is loud ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian. I watched the rest of your video and heard the same sound lol
OK,so how do you buy one of these jewels??? All i see is pre order...[does not work]...
Did it fly finally????????
bind plug? Must be a discontinued receiver from way back .
Manual is available online.
You stop flying ppg?
I wonder how long it will take for Horizon to discontinue this one?
Convuse because rc sailor and you upload vids at same time🤣with same rc plane.
I would like one.
How, I’m in the uk.????
You can get them, but they're pricier :(
Dropping it early to get in front of the other influencers. Ha!
Too bad horizon dorkified it up by enlarging the horizontal stabilizer. Looks like a caricature!
Wouldn't it be less confusing if you actually read the assembly instructions?
You mean the ones that we didn't have? We didn't get instructions, and don't always have them when we get early samples.
I realized that later ..oops! No wonder it can get confusing at times! Sometimes it gets confusing WITH the manual!.....That Beech is a looker that's for sure!
double talk ..
What part? Can you time stamp it so I can clarify. Sometimes I do change my opinions as we work through our process, but this plane was pretty good...I wonder if I minced my words??
Your to slow this video has been done already
What are you talking about?
Pleace stop talking with funny voices. auwefull.
