From 3:31 to 3:40 no one was flying the plane. I think my sugar got low, I lost my vision and nearly went down. When you see the camera drop that is when I nearly went down but I came back to an aware state. I had messed up vision but was able to get it on the ground safely. Doctor visit coming up tomorrow to get checked out.

FMS F-16 64MM Maiden Off Grass Strip with no steering
Переглядів 9121 день тому
Maiden flight of this F16 64mm jet, I accidently stripped the nose gear steering so I just aimed the plane down the runway for maiden. All other flights after this one was no gear with hand launch and belly landings. I prefer no gear, this plane is a easy hand toss.

Freewing Eurofighter 90mm 8S. I have struggled with this plane, she is just to heavy in the nose and I cant seem to get the landing down. 5 0z of lead on the very tail end of the plane but she still flys nose heavy and the battery only fits in one spot.

      Just know that if you fly off grass you will have to hand launch. The gear cannot take grass. I forgot to say 4S 2200 on the battery. I tried a 2600 but it was just to heavy so stick with a 2200

    Thanks for taking the time and posting up this video. LOL, yeah the price is high. I'm guilty I purchased two of these LOL. No one said this hobby is cheap. I look at it this way...... I recently had to replace the battery in my newer 5 series BMW. I bought a new battery from the BMW dealership and had them register the battery to the car. It cost me a little less to do that compared to the cost of this jet (without battery & receiver). To put it into perspective, you could buy a decent sized Big Green Egg for the same amount of money it costs to buy this aircraft, throw in the rx and three flights worth of quality batteries. She's a great flyer though. I thoroughly enjoy flying mine.

    I'm on the fence between this beautiful Freewing F-22, and the Freewing L-39 Albatros Camo High Performance 80mm EDF. Honestly, I want them both!!! I currently have a E-flight Viper 90mm (not really enchanted with it for some reason, fly's like a commercial jet with winglets and a big leaf blower attached) and an Avanti S V1 80mm, and Avanti Red V2 80mm -- the Avanti is by far my favorite EDF, at this time.

    • @braddarnell2498
      @braddarnell2498 3 місяці тому

      I wish I could help but I haven’t flown either of those yet. I put off the F22 for a long time and looking forward to getting the maiden in tomorrow. I’ve seen the Viper in person and it flys good but honestly I’m personally not into sport jets. I prefer the warbirds for some reason. If I was to get one though it would be the Avanti for sure.

    • @davidgerlach1132
      @davidgerlach1132 3 місяці тому

      Very good. And like you say, the F-22 is a wonderful everyday flyer, a bit pricy ~$700 once you throw in an AR637T and a remote receiver $45. But, you only live once...

      I have not, I’m new with this jet. Had bad experience trying to take off of grass. This plane is 100 percent a hand launcher. With the safe mode it isn’t to hard to do, I built a little handle/skid for the bottom to have something to grip to toss. It flies great but no wheels up wheels down on grass.
