hey there i am new at flying, just started this summer. first plane is a typhoon 2 3d and i am liking it except for the battery going dead and waiting for it to charge for a few hours ( kinda sucks other thing is it gets thrown around buy the wind alot it seems. my second plane is a christmas present to me and it is a puls .40 xt pnp im excited but looking for some tips or advise from anyone who has this plane or anyone who wants to help me learn some tricks thanks.

I do not have the plane, but I am not that far into rc plane about 2years now. Take it slow and you will keep your plane and have lots of fun. Since I took it slow I have flown plane some people would not recommend. If you take it slow you build good habits. Sometime when I go out to the field I just work on landings. Cause most people will not admit but you can actually fly any plane but the landings are what it going to allow you to fly another day.

You should be getting a fairly good run time out of the included battery.

At least 10+ minutes or so with throttle management. I've easily clocked 14 minutes, more with a 2200mAh battery.


Since it takes about an hour to charge with a good charger, to fly this plane almost non-stop you'll need a total of at least three packs.

That gives you three charged packs when you go flying initially and as you are into the second pack you can be charging the first.

You should give the plane about 10 minutes between discharges to cool things down, so the three packs can keep you flying all day.


The packs it uses can be employed on many. many other electrics, so money on additional packs will never be wasted.

Consider getting a good charger and at least two more packs.

The Pulse XT is a great flyer.

You will be flying it further out than the Typhoon and in many ways you'll find it easier.

At first keep the rates set low when you are close to the ground though as it can be quite responsive.

Preferably fly it with a good computer controlled TX so you can adjust Expo, etc.

The PNP version is a breeze to set up... but remember to adjust the control surfaces before you fly the first time. Do not assume that they are set from the factory.

I'll bet the engine will start right up...

But make sure that you perform nose-up, nose-down, pinch tests.

Remember that your landings must be GENTLE, the Typhoon 3D 2, because if it's light weight can take landing stalls and harrier landings very well.

The Pulse cannot.

well i have good news and bad

the good fisrt you wont have to wait to fly land refuel and up you go


the typhoon will fly better then your pulse hate to tell you. but hopefully i can stop you form buying it. i have a pulse and have seen the typhoon fly. IF YOU CAN FLY THE CRAP OUT OF THAT TYPHOON LOOK FOR A 3D PLANE!!! profiles are ceap and very fun also 3d ele. the pulse is a step down

The Pulse is a terrific plane, but it`s a sport model and is not really designed for 3D. It`ll loop and role and spin its little heart out, but don`t expect high performance, intricate 3D stuff. I have one and absolutely love it. I don`t think it`s a lesser plane than the Typhoon, just designed for different flying.
