The RC Geek

Приєднався 3 лют 2015
My name is Chris Wolfe and I love all things RC! I grew up being exposed to all aspects of this hobby and especially love scale building and flying. My passion for this hobby has driven me to start the thercgeek.com along with this UA-cam channel to provide build tips and tutorials, honest reviews, and to feature some of the cool models I see at different events. My hope is to inspire both new and experienced modelers to try something a little out of the ordinary. I'm here to help you on your journey and provide tips and tricks along the way!
For this channel, it is my goal to upload new videos most weeks (Fridays). I like to keep it fun and informative but I'm a working stiff, so sometimes the tutorial videos take longer than I'd like. Please feel free to comment and give recommendations for possible video tutorials, it helps! Welcome and thanks for watching!

From Triumph to Tragedy: RC B-58 Hustler Heartbreaking Maiden Flight
I've always wanted the Zues 90mm and looking at the back-out shot of your airfield, I almost tossed my cookies! My word, what a magical looking airfield. Here in good OLD San Diego, we're lucky to get a landfill here or there to pitch off from. :) As always Chris, great flying, and I'm sure this bird is now in your hanger?
Awesome brother! Happy Independence Day to you and the Fam 😎👍😁🇺🇸
Thanks brother, Same to you!
That’s cool.. paint scheme is kinda like interwar American carrier planes.
I know this comment / question is late to the party but what measurement of movement do you suggest for both the takeoff and landing flaperon. Thanks for your help.
Such a beautiful Skyray! Awesome!
Thank you!
Outstanding!!
What was the total weight of the plane for flight?
thanks for sharing nice plane though flew well. i just subscribed and will watch more. i have the su 30 Eflite twin edf and ive yet to crash it every time i fly it i wonder ift its the last its a heavy plane and landing is tricky, Alex but watching jets or even flying them is my favorite RC planes
I installed the cyclone power led afterburner in mine and now it has lost some power. Not sure what to do about it. Maybe convert it to a 6s?
Nice flight great flying jet and looks good Viper 90mm just a great jet.
That snake 🐍 paint job on the Stuka is so cool 🤩👍🏻
Nice 👍
ABSOULUTE BUTTERY LANDING🔥🔥
Motion has missed the boat on doing a nice skyray. Brent and i have done a bunch of these from small to big. They all fly great.
このスケールでマッハ3のスピードが出たら最高なんだけども、でもすごい👍
Can’t an RC model be fitted with an emergency parachute that could be deployed in cases like this?
HAwker Hunter would be cool. I have some plans in SW.
I also Guessed ESC's
70mm Avanti, your new understanding about EDF
😆 I’ve heard good things about the avanti. I’m not crazy about the looks at all.
Very nice. How is the T-28 build coming
😢 this hoppyist must be single
??
scale masters..AND SUCH a SO horrible engibe sound..thts matchbox...but not scale..
Beautiful airplane.
Many thanks!
To more realistic you need a sock up sort 😂😂😂
What?
Awesome!!!!
Villas that's where the b-1 lancer runs today how about your blackjack bomber.
Same problems the full size b-58s have lol a air conditioner for computers would be too heavy. But it's amazing how it duplicates the full size b58 the take off, flight characteristics and cooling issues in a sense good job
Very nice!!! 👍🏼
Thanks!!
Badass! Thanks
Shes a beauty Chris ❤
Thanks man!
Excellent list, it's tough to say which one I'd have in my hanger. 😊
First . Thank you for the best instructional videos out there.. And im share all our hearts go out to you over the B58! It seems as though All these manufacturers get fixated on certain model designs. Such as D model P51s and razorback P47s. I kitbashed a D model P51 into a B model. It flys /tracks better i think?! Now with ALL The razorback P47s I'm forced to D model one if i want it.. what's your take on this 😅
All four were wonderful..and this is a great short. Very well done.
Thank you very much!
Uhh, cane ridge park? Let’s fly sometime
Sounds good!
This A6 model sounds and looks real untill touch down. I'm disappointed in the landing gear. It sounds very cheap. Other ten that I like it. I might just get one and definitely change out the wheels❤😮😊
Compared to how I land arc plane that’s a 10😂
😆
What an amazing build too... I'd be willing to bet they were Castle ESCs... I had this happen the first and last time I tried them. Only Hobbywing from then on and have never had another ESC failure in 10 years. Never again...
Remember those from the movie “Failsafe”. Replaced by the FB-111 swing wing bomber. I remember they used them bomb Mumahr(Moo-Mar)Qaddafi in Libya during the eighties. He survived but he didn’t harass the U.S. Navy anymore. He died later at the hands of his own people whom he had oppressed.
WOW!!!
Hell yeah number one is the best plane ever built.
I’m sure it is. But horrible color. ! Make one up in navy trainer or military scheme. You would sale more

This American jet will be imposing for the next 100 years
This is why I fly helicopters they stay much closer in a crash😅...sorry for your loss.
Very cool! My dad was the maintenance officer for VA-72 during desert storm. I grew up around these aircraft. I really wish Freewing would make one. I need an A-7
With this specific plane, do you apply significant rudder to slow-roll?
It really depends. To perform a scale slow roll, you want to initiate a pitch up first which means that the roll has an arc to it with the entry and exit altitudes being the same. This doesn’t require much in the way of rudder to execute. However, if you’re trying to execute a perfect straight line slow roll with no arc to it, it requires a considerable amount of rudder to execute properly. The roll maneuvers I performed in the vid didn’t use much rudder at all.
Looks very nice & realistic. And it’s nice to hear a gas jet engine. Adds to the reality too b
My first day out of USAF Basic Training, I went for a walk at my Technical Training base, and came across a B-58 on static display. I'd never seen one, and instantly loved it... 🤙😎
F-8 Crusader would be cool.
this plane is somewhat of a lttle bit useless. absolutely nothing new. edf manufacturers are running out of ideas.
Some of the finest weathering ive ever seen on a WW2 warbird
