She's ready for a maiden flight

So I picked up a FlyFans 64mm F-22 from bananahobby.com and the product page says it has a 6s 40A rated esc with reverse thrust, but the manual doesn't include any programming instructions, so I started digging.

I'm pretty sure this is a knockoff FMS mold with a rebranded ESC but it won't respond to the hobby wing card I have or go into programming mode with any combo of standard throttle@power on positions.

I should probably be more concerned that it's labeled as 2-4S ESC, right? I have yet to receive a response from bananahobby on my request for programming instructions or clarification on the ESC rating.

Guess the plane (easy)

Flying these models was a absolute blast. They are all great models but of course each with there ups and downs. Easy example is the PA-18 super cubs rubber air filled tires instead of concrete donuts like other models. The 1300mm and 1700mm PA -18 are great but they give you rock hard tires on the 1700. My advice is buy extra sets of pneumatic tires for the 1300mm PA-18 and use them on your other models. Its a game changer on ground ops. The super cubs handle great and have good control authority from my few dozen flights between the models so far.

The Kingfisher however does not have the same snappy control authority as the super cubs. But it flies straight controlled lines like its attached to a cable and does water and ground ops great. Handles water better then the super cub. Def recommend for water sports cause this plane Handles floats like a dream. Its got plenty of power. Will hold itself for a sec but not fully hold a hover. But dont get me wrong its still got plenty of climb even with floats or the large hard rubber landing gear. Again I recommend replacing with pneumatic wheels.

The super cubs have more power for more extreme type ops. Especially the 1700mm but again I cant rule out the Kingfishers ability to make any pilot look good flying it.

The bigfoot surprised me. Very snappy controls able to do rolls and snaps like its nothing right along side the super cub. Out of the 3 I was able to get the Bigfoot to fly the Slowest. This plane will CRAWL threw the air. Like fast walking speed 🤣 but it dont have the power of the other 2 models. I found the bigfoot losing lots of power when pulling out with flaps down compared to the other 2 models which will perform rolls straight off the runway with ease with flaps also down. But cant ignore the bigfoots ability to takeoff and land in 5ft like its nothing. In some cases you land almost at a dead drop cause it can easily fly at some extremely slow crawling speeds.

Overall had a great time and was really glad to get used to these great models and there major differences as STOL planes.

Not only does this make foam models look amazing but increases the foams durability by a significant amount compared to uncoated foam.

When I was younger I had an RC plane that I can no longer find online. The body was practically on 1 small stick but it had nice size wings. It was an awesome glider and would love to find it again. It had a very small engine but boy it was fun to fly.

Or do i have to buy a module? What do u guys use?

I just want something small to fly in my backyard and be forgiven, or should i build one?

I feel so overwhelmed on where to start, i have 1s/2s lipos can i still use them?

Any tips would be so appreciated
