Thank you Gina! Boy, you said it! I literally day dreamed about RC planes that could actually fly well that were as small as my Cox .049 plastic U control planes. I never thought it would be possible. Look at us now!

Great Duet demonstration. There was a Dad and young son that would come to the park and fly the Duet. He would get so excited flying and flew well. With safe now we should have more new flyers experience successful RC flights. Jeff in LA USA

Yep, would have been cool. Man you know its just so simple. I think of the planes I fly today...advanced stuff with all kinds of bells and whistles. If the Duet had been around when I was a kid...holy cow that would have been something! Sometimes I think advanced pilots take for granted how exciting it is for a beginner to simply get one up and down with sucess.

I have this plane on back order. Apparently Horizon Hobby got overwhelmed with orders. LOL. I am curious if the S2 will bind to a Spektrum 6e transmitter ?? I like the feel of it as I've played with springs and things. I would assume I could use a switch for SAFE ?? Anyway, it will be a challenge to see if I can program the 6e for differential thrust...hmmm... we'll see as soon as I get it in.....
@ModelAV8RChannel
10 ай бұрын
I'm not sure, but if you can the differential thrust is pre-programmed in the board of the plane and is controlled by the aileron channel. You just set it up as normal plane, 1 Ail, conventional tail, and you should be good to go. Elevator and Diff Thrust will be on the right gimbal, and throttle on the left. This is assuming you fly mode 2.

Can you use the Duet controller with another aircraft? Also, would this be THE choice for around $100? How does this compare to something like an Echine warbird?
@ModelAV8RChannel
8 ай бұрын
You can, but if this is something someone decides to really get into, a more modern fuller featured TX is a must. I have only flown one Echine warbird (P-40). It was ok, but not on par with the E-flite UMX planes. I think this is much better for a first time flyer that is on the fence about do they or don't they want to fly RC. If they know they do already, I'd say spend the money and get the Apprentice STOL.

Even with the throttle gimbal all the way off, if you move the yaw axis gimbal to turn it will activate a bit of throttle to turn you.

@@ModelAV8RChannel I stand corrected, guess the sprot cub is EPS, but in comparision to the UMX A10, UMX Twin Otter, it's way tougher. The A10 I had wore the underside away in a few hours of grass landings, and the twin otter I tried, broke into bits taking it out of the box. There must be a difference. Would be great to see some strenght tests on the different models.... Idea for a future video...

Leo it is a danged if you do, danged if you don't situation. Lol. They make these UMX planes from EPS as a general rule because it is lighter. At this size range grams make a difference in flight performance. Not as strong as EPO though. I've been flying the UM's for years so I'm used to it, but you just have to remember to handle them with a bit more patience and care, kind of like a plastic display model. With the A-10 that was a bit of an issue. Needed to be plastic skid plates on the bottom. We fixed that by putting clear Scotch tape on the parts that were contacting on a belly landing. With the new 3s power on these, we could see more out of EPO in the future. With the Apprentice STOL they made it just a tiny bit bigger (more wing area) and gave it a stronger 2s power system. Very durable for a beginner.
