Hi well I've opened my box of the red arrows minimum plane kit and there was no electrics in there did you have to pay extra to get your electrics .let me know
It depends how you ordered it from the website. MinimumRC asked me to do the review and sent me all the components I need to complete. On the website it is pretty clear in the selection menus how many servos, receivers, batteries, transmitters, chargers, etc. you will need. It just so happens that the ESC/receiver can bind to my Spektrum, DX6 transmitter, so no need for a new transmitter. If you contact Minimum at their support email, they get right back to you.
@@TimMcKay56 hi right ok then as I will need it all to make the plane run .did you have to pay extra money for the electrics or not
@@PhilipGreenhill Yes, you have to pay for the electronic components. But high quality and very affordable.
@@TimMcKay56 hi right ok then please can you let me know what electrics I've got to get and how much are they.as I've tried looking for them on the banggood website but couldn't find them.were did you get your red arrows minimum plane kit from.
If I purchase this cool plane it will be my first in over 60 years. This will be my 'trainer'...
You will like it! And one that is also a joy to fly is the Arrows Bigfoot, see my review on this winner.
Ok I'm inspired by you and just ordered the F6F Guillows kit. I will be doing the RC conversion. Keep these conversions coming! Love the vids
Steve: Good luck and thanks for checking in!
Love this model
Thanks!
Thank you for reviewing this drone. Looking forward to part 2 and your detailed explanation on how to use the phone application to its fullest ! THANK YOU !
Glad it was helpful! Part 2 should be out shortly!
Cool little plane.
Agree!
I was thinking the motor might need alignment through the center of gravity if not looking at the angle of the hor. stab to the wing. Most on the Bixler types and the larger Rangers benefit from such. I like the tiny version of my Ranger 1600.
Good points!
great info.. Im an old nitro guy and after a decade break, getting back in to the hobby with electric.. Thanks for the explanation on how it all works.. Quite an interesting change from the old 4 channel futaba.. Thanks for sharing..
Welcome back to a great hobby!
Good Flying Glider Tim!! you have a po box address so i can send you something in the mail?
Sorry, no PO address.
The difficulty for initial students of flight is that lift is produced by two or more methods simultaneously and not just by a single force. The lift mechanism is also affected by the speed through the air and compression effects. There is only one important principle that needs to be borne in mind and that is that all wings will stall at a given angle of attack for that wing, no matter what speed the aircraft is flying at. That is the point where the airflow over the top of the wing becomes chaotic and a large element of lift is lost. Tilt the wing up too far into the oncoming airflow and the wing will stop flying. If the aircraft has an excess of thrust over weight, the aircraft will still fly but it is held up in the air by the thrust of the engine against gravity, not because of lift from the wings.
Good discussion!
Getting back in to flying from my old Futaba days and these Spectrum Tx really are a big change. You have made these videos so well my Fear is not being overwelmed. Thank you and appreciate your efforts and abilitys.
Kevin: I was a Futaba man back in the day. Agree, the Spektrum hardware is wonderful.
Hi Philip here.ive just brought my red arrows minimum rc plane kit and I hope everything is in the box so I can get it going.i no I've got to buy the dx6 controler .did you get everything in your box let me know
Got everything in my box, good luck!

Well my girlfriend like my red arrows to
@@PhilipGreenhill-vh3sr Best of luck, you'll get there!
@@gordonmckay4523 hi right ok then thanks for letting me know
Where do I find the "operator ID" number that must be entered on the input binding information page. The "registration number' is also required. I was able to find the registration number on the FAA drone zone site but not an operator ID number. This seems to be different than the FAA registration number which is assinged to each personal account on the FAA page.
I am not sure. Plz ask Ruko, I am sure they can assist.
I finally got this thing to work. I entered my personal FAA registration number from FAA drone zone as my operator ID. I also downloaded the app using the QRC code on the box as suggested by another reviewer. Not sure whether that was necessary but at any rate I'm up and running. Tested it out of doors and it took me right to the RID location. Will be interesting to test the range and how it is affected if attached inside the plane and the plane goes down for example in a field of high corn.
@@superdow1000 Great!
That would be fun to take to the beach or road cut and try to slope soar with it. If it doesn't pan out you could power up the motor and recover the plane.
Great insight!
I believe all those Volantex airplanes have the same little radio setup. I bought the Me109 and it flies like a dream. I am 100% self-taught, so all the electronic gizmos make it possible to enjoy flying without panicking about crashes. Thanks for the review!
Ken: Thanks for checking in!
My kind of plane. It looks like it might have benefited from some nose weight or down trim.
Good points!
Yep. Ours flies best with a 650mah battery rather than the 400mah supplied. Other than that it is a marvellous little toy. Highly recommended for its target audience. For more information from real world users always check out the thread for your proposed purchases at the RCGroups Forums thread on the item. You'll often get warnings of possible problems the reviewers might have missed.
@@theoztreecrasher2647 Excellent point on RCGroups . . . thanks for the vector!
Just bought one based on your help Tim. Thanks. When I enter the binding, I have to enter a plane but when I move it to another plane, do I have to keep re-entering the new plane informatino or is it OK to just leave in a general plane data since the binding and GPS will be working anyway.
Robert: As a recreational pilot, you link your RID with your FAA registration number at the FAA's Drone Zone website. Then, you add whatever RC model or drone you are flying to the Drone Zone list of models. You need one RID module that can be swapped between aircraft that you are flying. All this assumes your model is over 250 grams and you are not flying in a FRIA.
The BEC plug on an Apprentice 1.5 m with a "smart ESC" goes into slot 6 of the included receiver. A non-smart ESC, if you are using one, goes to slot 1. I just became aware of this while helping a new pilot set up his plane. A bit unusual, but that's the way it is.
Thanks for this info!
They will never enforce remote id. The FAA doesnt have the man power. A hundred bucks saved, one silly regulation that is extreme and over reaching for a rc fixed wing plane thwarted. 🤷♂️ give them an inch of your freedom, and they will take miles from you. dont start now!
Remote ID is here to stay. This is step one, will evolve as technology advances. Think your old 8 track tape player to now streaming music from your smartphone via Bluetooth.
Remote ID not required when you fly in your club RC field if it is a registered FRIA. That would have been valuable info to bring up.
Exactly!!! Dumbest rule yet!! Do not comply!!
We havent needed ID for the last 50 years of flying....surely don't need them now. Just more intrusion of a tyrannical government. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” ― Thomas Jefferson DO NOT COMPLY
@@Secondrunnerup613 Remote ID is here to stay. Do keep in mind that the focus of RID are the drone pilots, as they are the ones flying in controlled airspace, etc. And . . . 100% of drones sold these days (i.e. after the Commerce Dept ruling in Dec 22, 2022) come with Standard Remote ID. This means the remote ID is fully built into the drone, there is nothing the drone pilot needs to purchase.
Well done. Do you have a video or good source to match up different batteries, ESCs, and motors?
There are so many combinations out there. For most of my models that I build, the Castle Talon 25 ESC works well with 2 and 3 cell batteries.
Thks
👍🏻
such a great video - so helpful - thank you for sharing
Thanks!
Is the JR, hitec, and Futaba connects for servos still a thing?
Not sure.
Tim, another outstanding video, and you knocked it out of the park! So the remote ID takes up one of the slots in the receiver. In your demonstration, you would not be able to add, say retractable gear, since the ID uses the last slot in the receiver. Do I understand it correctly? In another of your videos, you mentioned the RUKO ID which helps find your plane. Would you recommend that over the FliteTest remote ID if you wanted the RUKU location feature or can the Flite Test ID also find your plane? Please keep up the good work. You're one of the best YT channels for RC.
John: Thanks for your kind words! I am pretty sure that you can use a Y connector to power the EZ ID. You can also use a stand-along battery for the RID. But, the real answer is the www.Ruko.net R111 remote ID that I reviewed a few weeks ago. Half the price of the EZ ID and it has a self-contained rechargeable battery. Problem solved!
@@TimMcKay56 Yes, I saw your earlier video and it too was excellent. Credit to you for bringing something new and useful to the table. All the best Tim.
@@john9663 Thanks!
I have become interested in vintage free flight models. Many have their CG well back. Why is this and how do they fly so well?
The vintage models had a "flying stabilizer" with a distinct airfoil shape that created lift at the tail, thus the CGs being further back.
Nice video
Thanks!
Hi Tim Great video! Do you think it's feasible to build this from foam? My balsa skills do not exist Total noob😅
Gerry: The answer is yes, you could build this from foam. But do try balsa. Balsa just builds lighter for this model and the light weight is the key. Buy a set of plans, a very easy model to construct.
Tim, can i get you to build me a fully functioning R/C toy model? If your interested respond and I'll send the drawings.
No time! 😊😳🫢
Anyone have experience with this device tracking a lost drone in a cornfield? Is it truly a gps tracking vs local Bluetooth connection like AirTags?
It uses GPS. Issues will be range (likely less than 800 meters) and battery life.
I’m confused. If it uses gps, why the limited range? Wouldn’t it ping a satellite which would be sent to my phone? If it uses Bluetooth, how can its range be anywhere close to 500-800 meters?
@@MrRaginglizardg
GPS satellites are 11,000 miles in space. The R111 gets its position from these satellites. The R111 use Bluetooth to transmit this position info, thus the range limitation.
Huh. I didn’t know Bluetooth could transmit that far. I just want to be able to find my plane when it crashes in the cornfield. Your videos and response are very helpful. Thank you!
Is the $5.00 tax deductible ?
No idea.
I want to make the construction lines a little darker, this program is not as good I thought it would be
I agree. Too expensive, upgrades are costly. I like www.QCAD.org a lot, affordable and I have a video on this.
@@TimMcKay56 thanks
Hi, thanks for the clip you put the construction line in the middle of nowhere. How do I put it on e.g. 0
Apologies, but I have not used TurboCAD in ages. I like www.QCAD.org a lot for 2D drafting.
Way to go love it was having trouble with the download but I'll keep trying
Good luck!
I use a ‘tile’ or apple air tag Tim
BV: You can try using the air tags. Do a few tests first, out in the middle of nowhere. The air tags rely on a fairly dense bluetooth environment to "ping" the signals and locate the bags, etc. If not a lot of Bluetooth signals, the device may not work properly.
I used the tile to help find mine in the coastal scrub.
Some crashes I can remember. 1. The old reverse ailerons trick without a preflight check. 2. Hammerhead stall turn straight through a slow flying plane minding its own business. 3. TX screen brown out from a Taranis intermittent main switch and or battery connection failure and reboot. 4. Kk2.1 flight controller brown out and reboot on VTOL plane from a dodgy XT60 connector or 5V 3Amp UBEC overload. 5. An arrogant tree not watching out for my plane. 6. Moving my vehicle I backed over my plane at the field was definitely the least satisfying crash ever, and dont leave them on the car roof either.
Ouch! Thanks for the update, sorry to read of the events in #6!
Hi Tim, I am 13 and new to building RC planes and I have built your bronco design and I have had problems with my plane banking to the right. I have tried to trim the ailerons with little to no success. Do you have any suggestions to help me fix my problem? thank you, Mason
Hi Mason, welcome to the hobby! Plz be certain that there are no warps in the wing. Next, make sure the wing balances left and right; if one side is heavier, put some nails in the other side to balance it out. If it still banks to the right, just trim the aileron on the right side to be a bit "more down" to keep the wings level.
Fun fact about modules. Very easy to spoof pilot location, one of big concerns with RID. Simply turn module on a mile (or however far away) from where you plan to actually fly. It will record 1st place it achieves gps lock as "pilot location". This will help keep pilots safe!! Don't worry if the module does not sow on your phone under any "drone scanner" apps. There is a difference in phones OS vs RID Bluetooth type and what they'll receive. As long as it's faa certified...I hope it only broadcasts 100 yards and isn't receivable on most handsets!!
Excellent video on the drone and your first drone experience! I will be interested to see where you go with this. I will have to admit that I am quite surprised, shocked actually, that you bought a drone based on how you have covered drone topics in the past. I am curious about a couple of things. - What is your motivation with this? Is this to expand your content on your channel, just curious about drones, or do you have a desire to get into the filming aspect of this? - Are you going to go out and explore? Ok, a bit of good natured dig there, hopefully you take that in jest. Seriously though, do you have places besides your home and your RC field that you are interested in going and getting video? - be interesting to hear you talk to the first time, first drone, selection process. Heard good things about the U11Mini, however giving up on the gimbal is something to consider as opposed to a DJI Mine 2,3 or 4. What did you consider and how did you arrive at this one? Not criticizing your choice, just curious. - How did your buddies at the local field react to this, to you joining the dark side? - lastly, do you have your part 107 given that you are posting video to your YT channel? I have gotten a response from the faa that simply sharing your video and/or posting to social media does NOT, necessarily, invalidate your recreational intent. However, it could depending on whether good will or self promotion is involved.
RN: I have nothing against drone pilots, rather I am concerned about any RC pilot who does not follow basic FAA regulations. Drone pilots simply have a lot of flights where they should not be (i.e. controlled airspace without a clearance) and that stuff has simply got to stop. And if, God forbid there is a bad accident (like the moron in July who filmed a returning Blue Angels six ship formation), they are not going to like the FAA response one bit. Just sayin' . . . As this is my first drone, the idea was to begin at the beginning. I was very impressed with the Ruko R111 remote ID module, so decided to give their drone a try. At 234 grams, no registration or remote ID required, and it was aimed at first time drone pilots. I.e. me. With drones you do get what you pay for. But for $280, the U11 MINI has a lot. The thing missing is a gyro stabilized camera, that would be nice to have. But I can get a working knowledge of the software, etc. with the U11. Guys at the field were happy to see me and the drone, zero issues. And I do have my FAA Part 107 certificate. Got that around three years ago, not an easy test. You really do have to prepare.
@@TimMcKay56 Congrats on the 107. So far I have resisted that for a few reasons. First everything I am particularly interested in doing I can do recreationally. Second the cost of the test is ridiculous. Third, the scope of the knowledge base required goes way beyond what a drone pilot needs (sectional charts and other manned, fixed wing knowledge, weather etc). I know people will say it's good information, doesn't hurt to know it, but at the same time it's simply not necessary. So, just not up for that, so far. Are you going to explore?
@@RebelByNature Should do some exploring. 😊
Just found you. Good tutorials. I liked the comment, 'the old days back in the 90s on section 4. Try back in the 1970s........ Even harder to build enough models. Thanks. Maury.

Enjoy the hobby!!
Where do I put my fingers to test cg because it a ridged wing and what's the formula??
For a straight wing like this, CG is 25% of the chord, measured back from the leading edge. Just put your fingers at this point, see that the model balances. Close enough for these sport fliers.
That's a cool looking drone and at a fair price. I'm aware there's no need to remote ID below-250gm models but I've been putting my FAA operator registration number on all my park planes. Do you think I should leave that info out for my unregistered planes?
You can add this info. Not required, but no harm.
woohoo. that is insane job-catch ya later! 🙂
Thanks! Tim
What hardware with recievers for micro planes that could connect/bind to my spectrum transmitter?
There are so many out there, no complete list I am aware of. Best bet is to ask the receiver maker if your Spektrum transmitter will bind. Plan B is to check www.RCGroups.com
Ok, now how do you figure that out without using paper when the plane is already built??
Google "Swept wing center of gravity" there are various calculators out there.
Grewat content. I just ordered one. Many thanks Tim. Greetings from Australia
Awesome, thank you!
