Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe video captures a test flight of a large RC aircraft. The pilots struggle with the plane's scale, dealing with stability issues such as wing rocking and altitude miscalculations. Through several flight attempts, they analyze the need for elevator adjustments and gyro tuning to improve control and landing precision.
Yes, it is Johnny. It's a big plane. You've got to get used to that.
A YouTube submarine.
95.7 miles per hour.
82.6 miles per hour.
It's still wing rocking.
Okay.
But the question is...
Man, this thing sinks though.
Did it? Okay, when you pulled power?
So what was the go-around power?
Like 70?
Okay, we need to adjust the elevators too.
I forgot. I probably could have jumped.
The elevators are not high enough.
They're too low.
The elevator's too low?
Yeah.
That's nice.
I love it. Right there.
Keep it right where you're doing, buddy.
Alright.
Power off.
53.4 miles per hour.
You just went over that tree.
Did I see that? Yeah, I saw that.
Bigger airplanes look closer.
25 percent.
Alright, there you go.
Wow.
I definitely want more elevators.
I'm not going to do it mechanically today.
We want to...
That was way better.
A little better? Yeah.
Oh, I forgot to adjust the...
59.7 miles per hour.
What?
I forgot to adjust the AS3X though.
So I might have to turn it down.
That's nothing? That's just hands-off?
Well, that's good.
I would recommend trying to do the same thing.
50 percent.
Still doing some wing waggling.
Yeah, I know. I've got to take care of that.
That'll be the first thing I do when we land this time.
25 percent. 50 percent.
Like you said.
Yes, it is, Johnny. It's a big plane.
You've got to get used to that.
You were out there.
110.6 miles per hour.
Alright.
78.9 miles per hour.
25 percent.
50 percent.
3...
2...
1...
Too high.
50 percent.
No, not willing.
There you go. Okay, you're clear.
Zero. 25 percent.
You don't need any more throttle. You need elevator.
Oh!
1.2 miles. Flaps up.
My brain...
50 percent.
Oh, gosh.
It's really smooth, right?
Now watch. When you get...
Right there. Well, it didn't do it this time.
That might have been me, dude.
25 percent.
A little bit of wobbling.
No, not throttle base this time.
25 percent.
61.5 miles per hour.
Oh, okay.
That thing is always shaking when there's wind.
God, this thing, you're right.
Because it's bigger,
I'm way miscalculating the altitude
and distance.
I'm telling you, you're not used to
flying that big.
Time remaining one minute.
Honestly, I feel like it's even harder
to tell up from down on this thing.
It's not drilling me.
69.6 miles per hour.
50 percent.
Zero.
Yeah, that's what I'm wanting.
That first time, I sort of died.
He was going to run into the helmet.
Zero.
Oh, yeah. Oh, look at that high altitude.
Woo!
Oh, yeah.
You may change your mind, man.
After seeing that, I'm like,
woo!
Zero.
We're done. We'll wrap this up, J.D.
Trying to get to that point
where it freaking takes off, where it glides.
I might end up putting five thousandths in it
next time I try it.
Zero miles per hour. 25 percent.
Sometimes that makes a difference.
Especially when you're talking about two of them.
It'll certainly make the notes.
I forgot again. A freaking...
What? A gyro.
Yeah, it's diving.
It dove a little on takeoff?
Yeah.
68.4 miles per hour.
Now it's too floaty.
But that's not the elevators.
That's what?
One minute. Five percent.
Zero. Twenty-five percent.
Zero.
Forty-two. Zero.
Oh, yeah.
Takeoff or land?
Takeoff.
Landing flap. That's why they call it Fat Amy.
What do they call it?
Fat Amy.
I'll get it, Bubba.
