[GBLynden]

This is my Arrows BAe Hawk 50mm EDF Jet Unboxing, 4-Channel RX Radio Setup, Arrows Viper Comparison, & Review video!

Here are my Review Notes:

Pros:
- Easy build
- Nice grips for hand launches
- Skid plates on the bottom of the jet
- It is beautiful! New anti-corrosive paint for better
- High performance 50mm EDF Setup
- Three flight modes with Vector gyro system making it a "Smart Jet"
- Can use 4-Channel RX
- Uses inexpensive 3S packs

Cons:
- The battery bay needs minor mods to ensure a complete seal every time.

@GBLynden Always enjoy your vids, very clear and concise. I finally ordered my Arrows Bigfoot, should be here in about a week.

Nice, do you ever lose visibility when you have those trees in the background?

It really is!!!

Thank you! I have not, even on these small planes. I do think I have flown my final closer than I should have been a time or two though lol

I was just curious, we had a spot that had trees in the background and my flying buddy was always complaining he would lose sight of it against the trees on final approach.

I talked him into putting a light on the front to he could keep it in sight. I didn't have the same issue so I was just wondering if you had run across this problem.

 

[GBLynden]

You know, my vision is still pretty darn good, so I haven't had many problems like that. I am sure it will be changing at some point soon with all of my screen time though lol

Age does create a few issues later on.

[GBLynden]

I am feeling that already as a marketing professional and lots of screen time lol

Good morning to all-
Regarding the previous discussion about losing sight of rc planes against trees, let me assure you when flying my little micro warbirds, I find it very difficult to track the planes visually when I bring them in for a landing. Of course, many of these little planes are done up in their traditional camo paint schemes, and I'll tell you, the camo does work.
Generally when I get the planes closer to me, I can pick up enough movement to land the planes OK, but I have lost planes-like in, lost and gone away- when they disappeared from my sight against dark backgrounds.

That's one reason I am coming to really like my somewhat bigger and brighter colored planes- hard to lose a bright yellow plane against the trees.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

I agree with @Edfrombama that realistic warbird paint schemes are a lot trickier to see, but just look so cool.

 

[GBLynden]

I totally agree guys! This red air show paint certainly makes it easier to see, but camo schemes are smaller planes are difficult for sure. We have tons of snow on the ground, so it might be a while until I can fly it again.
