    Eflite finally did something right. They should bring back the ICON A5 as well. 1.4 m with 2200 4s battery gonna be sweat.
  • @kjellobrun6800
    You and Brian showed me this badboy so many times, I just had to get one πŸ˜‚ Very much information in your videos without too much jibberjabber πŸ‘Œ Great flying
  • Your flight reviews keep getting better and better! The on-screen telemetry from your iX20 is a game changer!
  • @MrGoat73
    Brilliant flying! And what a surreal & amusing model to see flown like that! Just watched a guy hover it through an open sided building. A very entertaining flight envelope, great fun 😊
  • @SAM16052011
    I'm so happy that HH finally re-released this!
  • While I would much rather fly my EC1500 scale, I love watching you fly yours like this. I share your enthusiasm for this beautiful plane, it's my favorite and I'm so glad to see it back in production. Amazing video.
  • @RCflyingnuts
    Hi Jon. Got mine today using your link!!! Love what you are doing!!!
  • You guys are giddy! 😎 I've been wanting something with a cargo door!!!
  • Nice one Jon. I'm happy for you man, I know you wanted this one! I'm happy for me too! Dude I love it. I knew you'd be mixing away. Lol...that's you're jam! It is amazing what you can get it to do with those mixes, but I must say...I was AMAZED that it will harrier and hover with the simple stock manual set up, and it was solid. This one surprised me, and I really am glad we got to try it. It's staying in our hangar for sure! Oh, and man I love how it looks with the painted floats you did. I agree, 10 out of 10.
  • I was so worried when I got rid of the EC 1500! It's literally one of the best 3D aircraft that horizon has!
  • @danflom1271
    That Cirrus landing was a thing of beauty. Thanks for including it.
  • @timeflys3322
    These videos are entertaining and informative! Man tell them you want a SR-71 or any of the black jets! Eflite doesn't need to figure out the sun problem. Just put a warning on box, keep covered unless being used
  • @NeedSpeedRC
    Great review. I can feel the excitement. Thanks for the mixing overview at the end. I don’t fly a lot of 3D so I was curious what when you were calling out various flap settings during the flights.
  • @shiftsgiggles962
    Sweet! Love the floats. Been looking for some lake fun. The carbon Z & now this. I’ll be racking up some points with your links.
  • @SafetyThirdRC
    Good show. You did right buy this model. Fly it like you STOL it. Cheers
