Testing cheap vs expensive RC airplanes to find the best plane! Who will win this budget challenge? We bought a $100 place, a $500 plane, and a $1500 remote control Jet! We will put them through multiple tests including the altitude test, the obstacle course test, and the demolition derby battle. The last plane standing wins!... if nothing goes wrong. This video became more expensive than we though because there were multiple crashes.. We found out that there was a balance problem with the jet and it ended up being way too nose heavy.. Will we be able to get it to fly? Or will our wallets run out first? Let's find out..

Guys, fighter jets are inherently unstable, that's why they're so maneuverable . Take a sleek, aerodynamic plane and strap a heavy, square box on it, it's not going to fly right. It's like flying with the airbrake deployed.
Good point
6:20 When he rebuild the plane, why not cut out a spot in the middle of the plane designed for the go pro to fit in a little? Maybe it can go in 1" or 1.5". And center it, but back towards the rear more. That might help.
I ace no clue what this means because I don’t build air crafts but uhm good point
It would make the plane tail heavy youd have to mount it on the fuselage between the wings
@@josephsummers2427 good point!!!
WOAH JEFF I DIDNT KNOW U WERE A PILOT!! THATS SO COOL

He’s a real life pilot
I don’t fly rc planes a lot, but I do own a few. I own the small yellow one (it is called the champ) and I can say that it is quite capable. Despite the lack of ailerons, there are still multiple maneuvers that it can perform. My personal favorite is bring it to a high altitude, and jamming the left stick to the bottom left/right corner and holding it there with the thrust at full. The aircraft enters a steep dive while spinning on multiple axis’s. Then, I pull up right before it touches the ground. Unfortunately, I have broken the wing twice while doing that.
R.I.P
They ruined that perfect blue angel

The fact that Jeff is a pilot but doesn't know what center of gravity is and how important it is😂😂😂
exactly
i literally knew it was nose heavy as soon as it did not rotate at a speed, how could it be more obvious?
Altitude test?? Also, who's idea was it to strap a huge camera to it?
I absolutely love aviation and I want to become a pilot when I get older and I love that one of my favorite KZheadrs is also a pilot. Keep up the good work. Love you guys. Have a great rest of your week.

Jeff “The Expert Flyer” crashed the planes 3 times
Apparently he totally forgot everything he learned in flight school.
I know
It was because the gopro moved the cg (center of gravity) forward
Fr
@@aerospacematt9147 I don't think he was trained on jets! 🤣 Though you'd imagine he'd know that he didn't know how to fly a jet!
Rip the guy in the plane 😢😂❤
7:00 - "Where the center of gravity is"... I *so* hope you guys make more Vids after ^that 'coz the premise is solid and The Editor Rocks... More please
I never knew Jeff was a pilot, neat
You guys should do a collab with FliteTest, see if they can teach Jeff and the guys how to fly the jet and other planes.
Yes please
Yeah, then they’d be crashing cheap $5 foam board planes instead of $529 aircraft.
I can't believe you didn't think of how the gopro would mess everything up first. As soon as I saw that big box stuck there, I knew it wouldn't fly.
There are plenty of camera options that would work. Heck, there’s a Runcam 2 that records in 4K that would fit in the cockpit, or I’ve seen people put it behind the Cheater vents in the aft part of the fuselage. Now, I have gotten away with a similarly sized camera on an F-16, but I was lucky and was deliberate about where I placed it.
Curious to see how far they've come once u start flying rc planes you get stuck....I bet they're heavy into it
right!
God I hope not, these clowns are a menace and would NOT be welcome in any upstanding RC club.
You guys sure know how to make us laugh!
Word of advice to anyone wanting to purchase an rc airplane, the Horizon Hobby Apprentice STS is an amazing first plane. It is large to it can handle high winds (personally tested at 35mph) and is very forgiving. You can also buy. GPS sensor and set up a boundary where if the plane starts to cross it, it automatically turns around. You can also by a radar for the bottom that automatically flares the airplane when landing. This helps prevent new pilots from landing at too steep and f an angle and smashing the plane into the ground. It also has auto level so if you let go of the controls it returns to level flight by itself. Lastly with a 3200mah 3s Lopo you can get between 15 minutes to 25 minutes of flight time, depending how fast you are going and if there is wind.
If they wanted a jet they could have also done the HABU STS.
Habu sts was my first. Now I'm fly f 18 blue Angels 80mm from eflight
@@amberreeves3567 E-Flite F-15 Eagle for me, now I’m just waiting to unbox my Blue Angel!
The 1.2 m aero scout is a better beginner plane. It has stronger landing gear, is a pusher prop so you don’t have to worry about breaking the cowling, and is way cheaper. It also flies a lot better and uses screws to hold on the wings instead of rubber bands.
@@mybobize it probably is, but you can fly the habu too as a beginner, and once you are getting it under good control, you can get way more out of it compared to the aeroscout
7:45 that explosion was too realistic I thought it was real 😭
Wow prices that are actually accurate that surprising for these type of videos! I’m impressed. Nice job bros today my brother destroyed my Corsair by snapping the fuselage in half and I’m gonna repair it. But as compensation I got a p 47 Razorback
Pretty sure they way overpaid for that jet. I think It's the same one sold by E-flite for about $400.
@@mattguscar8629 bruh lol should of went to horizon hobby
@@mattguscar8629 $529 for the BNF. After the first crash, could have gotten the ARF + for $379 and swapped out the electronics.
Awesome seeing the local rc field on KZhead! Fly boys fly 🕊️
Its a nice field, where is it located?
@@jlowe600 I am interested too
If this is your club field you need to get these clowns banned asap before they hurt someone or damage property. They are clearly idiots and have no business doing this as they have no idea how to safely operate an airplane, model or real, as the exact same principles and rules apply.
Get a viper 70mm from eflite .. best beginner jet and for advanced pilots.. very fast and has safe technology so it will always auto level
Jeff is an official blue angel
I just real appreciate that Jeff spends loads of time just to create content for us. Love ur vids Jeff. 💙💙💙
The E-Flite F-16 Thunderbird would have been better for you guys... It’s cheaper, beginner friendly, and it can go at least 122 mph. Also, the RC Pilot should know about CG.
I agree
He looks like the banjo kid off deliverance grown-up.
Incredible video !! You are awesome 👍👏😊
Lol, this feels like the trailer for "Face palm: The movie" Lol, good effort though, those planes are a nightmare to fly, even under good conditions.
I Understand that you might think those planes are hard to fly, but thrust me they are the easiest planes out there.
@@businesscat_11 Yes they are!!!! With the SAFE and AS3X anybody could fly it if they knew up, down, left, and right.
Yes, they are easier than you might think. Just keep in mind, you need some prior RC jet experience before flying the Blue Angel.
How many of you would be crazy enough to fly with Jeff in a real plane?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell to the no, if he can't even understand the basics of flight enough to operate a RC model plane, he has ZERO business piloting a real plane and whoever certified him needs to have their creds yanked asap.
Lessss go dangle bros
These prices are wild $80 plane vs $150 plane vs $450 jet
Nah bro it's 40 vs 112 vs 258
Yeah, EDF jets don't have as much toque. Takes longer to take off. Gotta have that CG on point too. Also, horizon hobby sells it for $530. You already have the batteries, controller, & charger, so you save money there. Good luck.
Also, specifically with the Hornet because of the wheels, the center of rotation is way far back from the center of lift, so it needs flaps to aid in rotation.
@@aerospacematt9147 That's good information right there. 💯
ive never seen a pilot that couldn't fly nice job Jeff nice job sigh
He didn’t do the proper preflight checks. Also didn’t use flaps, which are absolutely necessary on this jet.
imagine doing a video about jet and kids not being able to get it to fly, yes they made it.
That’s so cool that Jeff’s a pilot
Jeff looks like one of the bold kids that work at Home Depot I miss Jeff with hair
It hurts seeing your dream plane being obliterated 3 times in 1 video 😥 Nothing can prepare you for this kind of hurt
I know right! I just bought mine about 7 months ago and have flown it 5 times now. Well worth the money. If you can find one now, buy it!!!!
It has been my dream plans since the day it was released. Of course, the pilot didn’t do certain things that are necessary to make this work, it definitely should have flown.
Bro actually got tired And remade The plane, Nice
Bro iwas interested that you are a real pilot love y'all! Bros
I genuinely did not know that Jeff is a pilot lol
Super bummed you couldn’t get that plane going but watching Jeff Frankenstein that altogether and build that was SUPER satisfying. One of my favorite videos yet honestly
All they needed to do was move the battery (and consequently, the CG) back. The GoPro really didn’t help at all. And, I know the scale ordinance (fuel tanks and missiles) look cool, but they create a lot of drag. They also needed to use flaps to assist in takeoff rotation.
@@aerospacematt9147 nope. The eflite f-18 needs the elevators to be 4mm posative elevator from The center line while at rest. Its 9n the 3rd page of the manual. They also arent $1,500. These jack offs are a got damn joke. They not only couldnt get the price right of any of them. But they dont know how to read a damn manual. Makes sense. Their videos are crap
@@krotchlickmeugh627 I agree. I did neglect to mention the 4mm elevator because I hadn’t seen the elevator up close in the video so I couldn’t see if they had done that. Also, I just purchased one for $529 at a hobby store. Don’t know where they got the 1500 from.
Nice job Jeff!!!
Humble pie 😂😂😂🙌 Next time buddy lol 👊
Jeff is the most Dangie in deed. 🔥🦸🔥
3:20 The F-18 needs a TON of room to take off because of the fact that the main gear (center of rotation) are so far back from the CG (center of gravity) and also the Center of Lift. Therefore, it needs Flaps to take off. Also, the GoPro really didn’t help in terms of weight and aerodynamics. That’s why Runcams and Insta 360 Gos exist.
Also needs some expo on the rudder
@@kaisfishin9124 That always helps!
Nah i can take mine off in less than 100 feet. Its all in the elevator.
@@krotchlickmeugh627 Yes, I was referring to Brian Phillips’ video where he needed a lot of room on the main road by his house to take off. I have one, just haven’t flown it yet, but if you say it can take off in 100 feet, I guess I’ll have to see for myself.
Flaps full and a gradual increase in throttle as you make your way down the runway and slowly apply elevator pressure and she'll come right up at 100 ft. I love the sound of mine it sounds so real you could totally convince somebody it's a real turbine.
I find it funny that now that Jeffrey doesn’t really have much hair he’s like Jeffrey Baezose 😂😂😂😂
The explosion edit was too funny 😂
I LOVE THE BLUE ANGELS
I never knew Jeff is so good with the plane stuff, that makes me love the DANGIE BROS even more !!! 🙌❤️✨
PCs C X. V.
I bought that F-18 from Motion RC for less than $500 USD. I truly hope he didn't pay $1500 for it!
The one they showed here is the Discontinued E-Flite one. (You can tell because Motion’s doesn’t have drop tanks or missiles.) The E-Flite was only 529.
Yea these guys are clowns that have no business screwing up our beloved hobby while the Fed is constantly breathing down our necks already. People like these kids piss me off big time, like that cletus mcdueshbag guy
You guys gave it your best shot 👏
i like all of you bros i wish all of your dangi family will come one day
EDF jets are not that hard. I had six inside the first 3 months of flying. The hard part of any rc plane is the maiden. You have to track and learn the airframe's characteristics in under four minutes, while applying trim and using flaps and retracts for the first time in the air. Glide slope and stall characteristics have to be felt out. ALWAYs check the documentation for CG. Also when you buy a model the odds of somebody on KZhead showing you battery placement and what size they used is very high.
Fun fact that jet is called a blue angel my dad works in the Air force and me my dad and my family saw those Blue Angle jets so many times I don't even know how many times we saw them I think that the Blue pilots signatures on one of my blue shirts also another fun fact.
Blue Angels are Navy. Did you see them doing collaboration air shows with the Air Force Thunderbirds? I’ve seen the Blues almost every year of my life at an annual event.
@@aerospacematt9147 yes I have seen them at the air shows.
Aviation is my dream. Its an amazing career and it is so fun to fly!
Bro we already want to see the part 2
The $1500 one is a blue angel jet and I love y’all’s vids you guys make me laugh
Lol it’s $529 not 1500
I used to have the same super cub (the orange one) except in red. One time while flying it one of the front wheels fell off in mid flight. I had to land the thing in the grass with two wheels.
I ended up crashing that plane because the tab holding the battery in broke and the battery fell out mid flight 😒
Doesn’t it have battery straps to prevent such an occurrence? Not something I’d expect to hear from a top quality Horizon plane. I’m sorry that that happened.
@@aerospacematt9147 yeah there’s a plastic latch and a Velcro strap. The Velcro strap had previously broke and I hadn’t replaced it yet. Guess the plastic door panel clip wasn’t enough to hold it.
@@rideroftheforce5245 How high up we’re you? Did the battery survive? I nosed in my E-Flite F-15 because I was doing a low pass in high rates and overcompensated a turn. Even after going straight nose in at full throttle, the battery survived. They’re tough sometimes.
@@aerospacematt9147 I was probably 75-100 feet up. The battery was just fine, it landed in the grass. It was just the plane that was destroyed when it nose dived. It was a couple years ago though, so I'm not positive about the height.
Let's give Jeff one more chance to fly that jet. He deserves it! As a pilot, he knows what he's doing.
Then how come he didn’t check the CG? As a pilot, he should understand the importance of that. He should also understand the importance of using flaps to assist in the takeoff. Also, he should know about the incredible amount of drag that the GoPro creates when situated on the wing root glove. The antics in this video were quite frankly amateurish, and leaves us questioning if he truly has experience flying RC planes.
@@aerospacematt9147 it’s a rc plane chill out it’s not a real plane plus it has a lot of weight on the nose which affects it a lot
@@brian-tj2op Yes it is an “RC plane”. What I don’t like seeing is this jet getting a bad reputation from this video. Here’s something interesting, the physics that govern full scale flight affect models the same way, so a pilot of full size aircraft should’ve known better and checked the CG (And not been irresponsible with camera placement.)
He knows too much to forget to balance a plane. I’m 80% sure the crashing was staged or at least rigged to happen as well. Also, the jet was $472, not $1500.
Well this was very entertaining to watch even though I fly rc planes to lol
Love it dangie bros!!
Wheres Robert and Ryan 😢😢😢
HA what you mean is all those F/A-18’s you bought were $1,500 total. This is a VERY fun hobby that just takes practice like anything else to get good at it. The average person COULD actually pick one up and fly it. There is this technology called SAFE and AS3X and other modes to prevent you from crashing and to make it easier for you to fly. You guys are either clickbaiting or just spewing inaccurate information. This is the E Flite F/A-18 Blue Angels. The price of this jet is now $529 (not including tax). It was $469 when I bought it. And like Aerospace Matt said in the comments below, you can get what you need to fly this under $1,000…. It’s not that hard to fly. First of all, don’t ever use a GoPro on an rc jet. Too big and heavy. And if you know ANYTHING about rc planes, it’s that the center of gravity is VERY IMPORTANT. Which I’m sorry but, you apparently didn’t know that or your just crashing it on purpose. Second, ever heard of flaps??? If you were a pilot you’d know what they were, when they were used, and how they work. Third, you would know that there is also this thing called DRAG. It basically prevents an airplane from getting all the proper airflow over the wings and fuselage. And putting the fake ordinance and go pros on it doesn’t help. You need far more RC experience with other airplanes before you even ATTEMPT to fly something like this. I’ve flown mine 5 times now. You also would know this if your an RC pilot that you kind of need time for an RC jet to rotate (lift off the ground) and to build up speed before you decide to throw the elevator up and make it fly. This video is highly disappointing and inaccurate. This is a very awesome jet to fly. But requires a high amount of experience. EVEN ON THE BOX it says “Extra-scale Jet for Experienced Pilots” I’m sorry but I highly doubt your a pilot and barely fly RC. You wouldn’t be spewing inaccurate information out and not knowing how an airplane flies and functions if you were. I don’t intend for this to be a rude comment but I want people to know the FACTS about how this hobby works.
Lol any rc pilot would've known to check cg after camera was on it.....I wish I could get the chance to do this...good fun
You are a magnificent pilot jeff

Hey guys I really hope that you see my comment but I have a theory if it was always nose heavy without the GoPro in the front why don't you put the GoPro closer to the back pretty much where the rear thrusters are that should be able to balance it out once it is in the air

Maybe move the battery back a little too. It probably has trim settings too that would help.

The plane may have been a disappointment but the Dangie Bros never give up and most certainly don't disappoint their viewers.
The only disappointment here is the pilot. The jet works fine when it’s used properly. A real “pilot” would have known about the CG, and would have used flaps.
Nope, the E-Flite F-18 is NOT $1500. So much ignorance in this video!!
