Welcome to Life With Nick and Hayley! Join us as we share life's moments in a positive, inclusive space promoting the joy of living and searching for new ways to have fun and explore our world together.



In this video, I make a few flights with the Durafly Tundra. I bought this plane used and cracked the stock prop, so I'm using a smaller 10x5 prop that certainly has less pull on 3s. There's no talking in this video but plenty of electric motor/propeller sounds plus bonus WIND noise! Yay.


Enjoy the video and I'll see you in the next one.

Let's chill in the comments, talk RC and anything else happening in your life. Maybe you came here from RC, maybe this video was recommended because it's in essence, a vlog. Either way, it's cool here. We're all friends!


A few words about my jet..

What I like about the Lippisch:

1. She's small and fits into the car beautifully
2. Incredibly fast and reactive for the size
3. Cheap entry into EDF aircraft
4. Only uses cheap, small 3S batteries to achieve these great speeds
5. Excellent flight envelope - stable at low and high speed
6. The 5 blade fan is punchy and sounds great whizzing by


What I don't like about the Lippisch:

1. Hand throwing has a steep learning curve
2. Requires a launch switch which deflects the elevators up about 5mm upon launch which requires deactivation once the aircraft is flying. It's one extra thing to have to worry about during a nervous maiden
3. Not suitable for pilots who have limited stick experience on fast prop planes, those with bad eyes or slow response times
4. No matter how gentle your landings, the belly will scuff (use protective tape)
5. Despite Freewing's attention to care and detail, the paint chips easily. Make sure you touch the paint up regularly to avoid peeling and add a clear coat to the paint
6. Those who struggle programming their TX will have to fiddle somewhat to get their elevon programming in place (it's not that hard but something to consider)
