Arrows RC Bigfoot 1300mm RTF With Vector Stabilization

[GBLynden]

This is my Unboxing of the Arrows RC Bigfoot 1300mm RTF With Vector Stabilization. It is very cool entry level STOL RC Plane with everything you need in the box!

Here are my Review Notes:

Pros:
- RTF kit with everything you need to get into the air
- Two different flight modes
- Plenty of power on 3S
- All-terrain tundra tires for multiple surfaces
- Excellent set of lights
- Flaps with nice deflection
- Great presence

Cons:
- The tires are likely to bounce on pavement, especially for a beginner.

Welcome!

Good review video!

Thank you Xraycer! I do my best to add value when I make posts

My posts are more like junk food, no nutritional value whatsoever. I am still considering picking one of these up after everything settles down from the holidays.

 

[GBLynden]

Hahaha! that is funny Doom! This is a great kit for sure. However, if you already have a Full-Range Air Radio setup, I would recommend that and get one of the PNP versions over this one. It is a larger plane with great visibility making it easy to outfly the radio that comes in this kit.

Oh, so you're the reason I had to go on a strict diet.

 

[Doom!]

I would get the pnp for sure, I have thinned out my airforce over the last year due to space requirements, I think that's the only reason I haven't picked one up already.

 

[GBLynden]

That makes complete sense to me! We have our first baby on the way and I am working on keeping as many planes I can, while focusing on the true priorities in life. I will likely pay things forward by donating some of my items if I am not able to create space for them.

That's what I did with my surplus, I gave it to fellow fliers that I knew would use and enjoy it. Trying to keep it narrowed down to a reasonable amount, but the only high wing I have is my micro turbo timber, which is a fun flier, but a bigger high wing like the bigfoot is good for relaxing on those days you just need to unwind.

Congrats on the new baby by the way!

I agree 100% and thank you! I have a Tundra, Turbo Timber Evolution, and just got the Arrows Husky. I mix it up with those and my 6S EDF Jets to keep things calm, cool, and relaxing
