SUPER LIGHT ! OMP Hobby Challenger 49” Balsa RC Aeroplane | Essential RC FLIGHT TEST AVAILABLE HERE (UK): https://iactiverc.com/collections/pla... AVAILABLE HERE (International): https://www.omphobby.com/OMPHOBBY-Cha... First flight and wow ! You forget after flying so many foamies how good traditional balsa/ply RC aeroplanes can be. OMP Hobby are experts are designing and creating ARF/PNP kits that fly as good as they look. Quick assembly of this Plug and Play (PNP) version of the Challenger. 10-15 minutes and it was ready to drop in my receiver and setup on my Radiomaster TX16S. A 3S2500 lipo flight battery under the velcro strap and I took off...within seconds I could tell how well it would fly. It cruises around on just over 1/3rd throttle and this is because it is sooo light. Immediate confidence to execute some basic aerobatics and low inverted passes. Looking forward to more flights. 0:00 Intro 1:14 Unboxing 7:45 First flight 15:23 Summary 16:44 Outro WHAT I LIKED ? High quality wood and assembly at factor High quality electric components including Sunny Sky motor, ESC and Eolo propellor High quality hardware Quick assembly Flies on rails because it is so light WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ? Two screws to secure horizontal stabiliser are only just long enough to penetrate into the wood on the other side. It's easy to overtighten the screws! If you do overtighten screws, to the point where they will not stay in place, then consider gluing this tailplane in place with medium cyano or epoxy after removing top film where it meets the fuselage. #rc #radiocontrol #essentialrc Filmed by Carl for the 'Essential RC' YouTube channel using the Panasonic AG-UX180 4K camcorder at our local model flying club Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for regular 'Essential RC' action using this link http://www.youtube.com/c/EssentialRC?...
