What an iconic bird. To think this was designed in the early sixties and still manages to capture the imagination, speaks to how far ahead of its time she was. What a beautiful plane. Great choice Adam. Can’t wait to see you pilot this one!

Brilliant presentation, Adam, like always 😊! Love your scale takeoffs and landings and it s very interesting how you modulate throttle on landing. Not sure how the appearance of the bird is in person. On the video it is often just a black silhouette and as such rather boring. (Reminds me of a flying e-guitar 😂) Only at angles where the sun is reflecting and make the body appear 3D with shadows and gray scales, it is a real eye catcher.

I was excited the second I saw the official Eflite new release vid pop up .. watched with excitement .. thought this is going strait on pre order .. then the price 😮 .. in uk it works out to near 350 dollars .. no bang for buck with such a small model I just purchased a 1/5 scale edf lightning at 100 dollars cheaper .. this sr71 model is long awaited but the price is the factor not Many brits will be too pleased by the huge overcost ..simply not enough foam for the money .. thanks for the very in-depth review but it’s far too expensive 👍🏻

Great plane thanks for sharing adam. I too think that this plane should be a speed demon like the real one. Nice to see horizon making affordable planes for us, but make the plane a little bigger with twin 50s and 2 escs. Run it on 2 batteries. I would pay 100 bucks more for that. Just my opinion. You did great reviewing what you got. I guess that was more for horizon than you. They listen too. Thanks.

Hey Adam, nice job! Who doesn't love a Blackbird?? Is it just me, or are the vertical fins a little oversize? Certainly this benefits from 4S power, but with time I've tried hard to reduce the number of dedicated batteries in my hangar. Hand launching looks good. I have paved runways at both my club fields, but fixed gear on this beauty just looks wrong. ;-) Keep it up, buddy!

@@ModelAV8RChannel I hope you're feeling better Adam. As for the SR-71, most of the videos I've seen show some severe wing-waggle that AS3X doesn't even seem to keep up with. Also, it appears to get unstable if you don't keep it screaming. The tail-heavy nature adds another challenge too. Horizon put this plane at a Level 3 and I think that's a good warning to any pilots that aren't as skilled as you are. That being said, I ordered mine. But will most likely leave it static display, unlike the other 30 planes in my fleet.
@ModelAV8RChannel
Жыл бұрын
@gmorphan To be honest, I haven't watched the other vids on it. The only time I experienced wing rock was when I got the angle of attack too high. Then it seems like the AS3X struggles to sort it. We did some pretty stable slow passes once I figured out how much I could get the nose up. It's different, but it doesn't seem to bite ya.
