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.

The SuperEZ is back at it! My current desire to keep this bird up in the air is that she can hold the chubby GoPro like a champ. Sadly, this morning's grass was dewy and she dragged the camera through it. Thankfully, the plane is moving around a LOT during the video so you won't really have time to notice.

Stick around 'til the back end of the video to hear a bit from Hayley! If you have any questions for Hayley, fire them into the comments and I'll film a Q&A. If you don't have questions, I'll make some up and pretend you all had so much to ask her! Trust me. It will work out fine.

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!

What I like about the FMS SuperEZ:

  1. The 1200mm wingspan - fits in my car without disassembly

  2. Flies well in wind

  3. Very durable construction

  4. Short take-off

  5. Lands well on rugged surfaces

  6. Flies on cheap and common 3S 2200mah LiPo batteries

  7. Perfect for inexperienced pilots

What I don't like:

  1. The tiny battery compartment

  2. Very floaty (requires longer than usual approach)

  3. Divisive styling

  4. Noses down during rolls

  5. May foster bad landing behaviour as it is so tolerant

  6. May frustrate pilots who want more aerobatic capability/ snappiness

  7. No flaps
