How The HECK Did I Save This From Crashing…..

[00:00:00]What's going on everybody? Westtaby's RC, we're back with the Freewing Aries, the practice bird to the new Kreel turbine Aries. Thrust vectoring. We have the Spectrum 10 channel receiver in here. Turn thrust vector off.

[00:00:13]>> [snorts] >> 8S Nobody on the field, so we're going to have some fun.

[00:00:18]Take off flaps.

[00:00:22]This thing is a blast of an airplane.

[00:00:24]Flies a little different, takes a lot of tuning flights to get it right, but it does it.

[00:00:30]Ready?

[00:00:31]Hang it up.

[00:00:36]>> Gear up.

[00:00:38]Gear up.

[00:00:48]>> Oh, yeah. Gyro dialed now, Ken.

[00:00:53]Uh, maybe a little bit of a wiggle wiggle.

[00:01:00]Little bit, but it's better.

[00:01:05]CG's perfect.

[00:01:13]No thrust vectoring.

[00:01:20]Oh, yeah.

[00:01:27]Oh, yeah, we got to turn thrust vectoring on and do some flat spins.

[00:01:30]It doesn't quite have the power to hover.

[00:01:32]>> 2 minutes.

[00:01:37]>> Okay, thrust vector on.

[00:01:47]Thrust vector is staying on now.

[00:02:08]>> It can give you some fun stuff with thrust vectoring.

[00:02:42]>> [laughter] >> Did I touch? Can I get it lower next time?

[00:02:50]We got to rewatch that.

[00:02:53]I don't know if I touched or not, Ken.

[00:02:59]All right, thrust vector off.

[00:03:03]If I didn't have thrust vectoring on, that would not have been a recoverable moment.

[00:03:11]That was a good one.

[00:03:20]That was a good one.

[00:03:49]Before we land, we got to do a thrust vector flat spin.

[00:03:53]Vertical.

[00:03:54]>> Flight pack 27.3 >> Vector on.

[00:03:59]>> Flight pack 27.9 volts.

[00:04:12]>> All right, we got to land.

[00:04:13]>> Thrust vector on.

[00:04:15]>> Thrust vector is back off even though it said on.

[00:04:18]>> 30 seconds.

[00:04:19]>> Gear are down.

[00:04:27]I will say though that the foam Ares is not the best flying foamy on the market.

[00:04:32]It's fun. You could throw it around, but it is not precise.

[00:04:36]It does a lot of weird things.

[00:04:44]It has like a weird landing speed to it where if you get it too much Thrust vector. You know what we got to do, Ken?

[00:04:51]We didn't do it before takeoff. That's why we almost hit.

[00:04:55]That's why.

[00:04:57]Yeah.

[00:05:00]We got to get it started.

[00:05:14]Wait, he's spinning me around round round round round.

[00:05:19]>> [laughter] >> Battery is about dead.

[00:05:26]I know. Look at that.

[00:05:30]Did we touch? That's the question.

[00:05:32]>> 27.59 volts.

[00:05:34]>> I think we did, Ken. Look at the tip.

[00:05:38]Just the tip.

[00:05:41]It's all it takes. Just a tip sometime.

[00:05:43]All right, that's all I'm taking you guys so much for watching. We were having fun with the foam model Ares.

[00:05:47]We're going to get the composite one out. You guys will see that video soon.

[00:05:49]So, I want to thank you guys so much for watching. If you haven't already, hit that like button. Hit that subscribe button. Take care and have a great day.
