Fantastic. Best jet review I have ever seen. I love getting two pilot's perspectives. Great camera work, I can actually see the plane! Opening shots were wonderful! Might have to order one of these asap!
Thanks! Be ready for the extra weight and higher wing loading. The Stinger 90 is the lightest 90mm and is very forgiving. Mike and I love the F5 for the warm up. We think it flys very similar to the F16 but is more forgiving.
im going to buy one of these, my buddy bought one and he even put speakers with a recording that sounds like a jet engine and goes louder as you increase throttle to give it that realism,
Captain Mike looks like an old school cop with that stache. Add the hat and he looks like every rendition of a police sketch artists drawing of "the bad guy". Then I thought I heard a bit of an accent. I kind of had an ah ha moment. The stache, the hat, the accent, he's Canadian!
Just ordered this this Friday and getting it tomorrow.I already have the Freewing F-14, now this..All I need now is a Freewing F4 Phantom 2(Cough Cough)..LOL
Best part of the video Mikey manhandling the plane like a gorilla throwing the cockpit on the ground ripping off the ordnance maxing out the fan and pushing down on the wings to show the plane doesn't tip over .... you think he was selling samsonite luggage I was waiting for the opps on the piton on the nose ... great video tough bird
+Johnny Rabuse Thats hilarious, you should see him shove his planes in the back of a Aztek. It will go in one piece, and come out is several pieces. He has the worlds biggest collection of pitot tubes.
Nice aircraft well flown. I thought the T6NL warning was cool even though it comes from BAe. There is a cockpit YT vid out there in TY land of a Canadian Mk 115 Hawk crash following a bird ingestion and you can clearly hear the T6NL advisory as the engine fails...And yeah, I have 16 years maintaining Hawks...
which was the weight of your battery? i have a 6s admiral carbon 5100 70C it is heavy and maybe is the same weight of your. i want to find the right position. thanks
Just received the Freewing T-Bird F-16C from Motion RC and can't wait to get into it. My girlfriend said I have to wait till my birthday (59) in two weeks to open it. Drooling of course looking at that packed cardboard box. I am going with the upgrade inrunner motor, UBEC, ESC, JP electric 60mm wheel brakes, Mr. RC Sound and AS3X Rx with the DX8 Tx. I will utilize the information that you provided for the flaperon set up. My winter project and will paint the landing gear and wheels white with a chrome painted tail cone. Have flown other EDF's such as the Super A-10 which flies great and can be seen at Mrtcoltpilot here on utube. Any extra comments will be greatly appreciated. US Navy Retired Cheers
Ordered the 8s upgrade in-runner motor and fan yesterday along with the UBEC. The 150amp ESC OPTO has been back ordered. Birthday November, Friday the 13th, then the transformation begins. I will be bringing it to the Toledo Show with my mods.
I know nothing about this company, but the fact they used Shaw AFB coding, and it's even a 77th Gambler Jet, I'm already know I'm buying this DOUBLE DOWN
which battery are you using? with the normal admiral 5000 50C you have to put the battery a little bit more near the front. i think you are using an heavy and bigger one and that the reason you found that position. for example now i bought the carbon admiral 5100 70C and they are heavier 100gr so i put them in the position you put your battery.. please let me know about the battery used in this video. thanks
What percentage do you have the flap settings? My takeoff flaps are at 50% and landing at 90%, how ever it seems the plane wants to stall with full flaps. I have the Thunderbird version and use Spektrum Dx8e transmitter
@@MotionRC So you're saying the NOSEGEAR is NOT UP TO IT! You can do better than that. I was hoping the forward raked angle would help with grass landings but the smallish nosewheel takes away that advantage apparently. The mains look very solid. But the nosewheel appears to be an Oleo, not a trailing link. The oleo nosewheel is in keeping with the real thing, scale quality. But that doesn't help with the majority of us that fly off grass. I want to give it a go, but without some clear solid grass landing endorsements, I'll pass.
@@hifinsword Sorry, I read your comment wrong. Thought you meant you wanted to land with the gear up (belly land). The gear on this 90mm F-16 is as robust as any 90mm Freewing model. All of them are made with the grass pilot in mind (hence the larger than scale wheels). You will have no problem on most decent manicured grass runways. Plenty of videos out there, just search Freewing F-16 Grass and you'll find them
stupid question, since im a newer pilot, how do you keep that shallow turn angle but still youre able to keep the turn somewhat tight? is that adding just a little rudder or alot?
Freewing is all I will buy from now on, I'm a pilot, not a builder, hate building!!! The only dog I bought was the yak 90 mm so underpowered it was embarrassing. That was there last bad plane thank god!!!
I just received an FMS P51 1400mm. Upon opening the box and checking contents, I noticed that I was missing glue, and spare prop blade and assorted spare parts. What would be the best glue to use?
HOW CAN I STRENGTHEN THE BOTTOM FOAM DUCT FOR BELLY LANDINGS on grass , I dont like the small from wheel for take off in grass, I have to do something so if I can hand launch [can this model be done ].
Motion RC Thank you! I just posted a video of my buddy flying his (he loves you guys), so I wanted to be sure the video tags were as accurate as possible.
Depends on how you fly them. Throttle management can extend flight times. But 3-5 minutes in a jet is exhilarating. When i started with jets I had 1/2 and like 1 battery for each. I would do those 2 flights, get the batteries on charge and relax with a warbird or high wing cub, and then the jets batteries would be good to go for the next round
Not once your confident in your flight skills. But I wouldn't start the hobby with an EDF Jet as your first experience. A trainer plane is highly recommended
+John Knopp Hi John, our take-off flaps are down, slightly shy of half flap. Check the manual for down flap measurement and set just above half flap. I didn't like full flap for landings so I set mine around 19mm. Every plane's servos and radio are different so you'll have to experiment a little to iron out what works best for you.
Hi, I want to know if you are shipping to CHILE, I am interested in this model F-16 with its installed electronics + the lipo battery you need. . . I need to know if I buy the plane + the battery if they can send both to Chile and what their total value would be. The plane is beautiful and its spectacular flight. I'll look forward for your answer. regards
Small fighter pilots: WOOOO HOOO! My heart is boiling! Control tower: shut up. stop acting like you're excited or else you get into solitaire. Commander band Dog: agent 13 here is the mission take down or destroy anybody that's trying to shoot down the C-17 weapons free you're clear to engage. Enemies: aim for the large transport (c-17). 30 minutes Later, enemies: all Sam systems and fighter aircraft we have a new mission and a new plan forget the C-17 don't worry about the big one shoot down the fighter jets that are protecting it. So the C-17 does not have fighter aircraft that are escorting it.
just ordered this and the 90mm stinger. i almost ordered the t45 but i have a soft spot for the falcon. thanks brad. love motionrc....
and? how was it ?
Thats R/C Action very nice two F-16 flyby and two start fantastic :)
Fantastic. Best jet review I have ever seen. I love getting two pilot's perspectives. Great camera work, I can actually see the plane! Opening shots were wonderful! Might have to order one of these asap!
Great video! That starting sequence with multiple jets and the cockpit voice-over was brilliant!
One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Informative yet entertaining. This jet is in my wish list. Good job Motion RC
Thanks for the speedy reply! Very nice job flying these birds off a relatively short runway.
My Freewing F-16 90mm arrived today! Can’t wait to get into this kit!!
6:01 Hey man, respect that canopy! LOL
Great going guys !!! Nice to see Mikey is staying on the Meds ..... What a Beauty !!!!!!!!
Fantastic video! I'm saving up for one of these. I've flown 64mm jets for the last two years and I'm ready for the 90mm F-16!
Thanks! Be ready for the extra weight and higher wing loading. The Stinger 90 is the lightest 90mm and is very forgiving. Mike and I love the F5 for the warm up. We think it flys very similar to the F16 but is more forgiving.
Thank you for the advice! Will I be able to fly this with my Spektrum Dx6? Motion RC
Yes, I use a dx6
Yes, I use a dx6
what a great situation over there in Indiana you have , can't say it enough !
Man Y'all have the coolest jobs in the world.
Amazing opening part of the video - I really enjoyed it :)
George
Man it sounds amazing for an edf
Very nice!!!
awesome! I like the camera work on the plane
WOOO HOOO! That is super cool to see a swarm of RC fighter jets! They're like real fighter jets.
Thanks for that amazing video :)
Un vídeo alucinante. De lo mejor que he visto. Lo comparto. Felicidades
+Aitor Beobide Rubio Spotters
Gracias, Estoy encantado de que lo disfrute.
im going to buy one of these, my buddy bought one and he even put speakers with a recording that sounds like a jet engine and goes louder as you increase throttle to give it that realism,
Sounds cards are an awesome detail to add
@@MotionRC yes . It's super cool . Makes a big difference too
@@slyfly4829 check out eflight f 18 for an incredible natural sound
The engine sound is real top notch for edf. Almost sounds like turbine.
I have this bird and love it. Looks great and flys great too. No complaints from me. 😎. Oh I have one complaint, I wish I had longer flight time lol.
Captain Mike looks like an old school cop with that stache. Add the hat and he looks like every rendition of a police sketch artists drawing of "the bad guy". Then I thought I heard a bit of an accent. I kind of had an ah ha moment. The stache, the hat, the accent, he's Canadian!

when the heck are your guys going to review the Freewing F-15?
Nice Jet and Flying ;)

Can you use a 6S 6000 mah 50C on the high performance version of this Jet?
Where can you by these f-16,f-15, and f-14 Aircraft at.
I actually had the two jets that were used for this video Dave's RC has one now and I have the other and they were even autographed by Pilot Ryan
This video is publiced on my birthday
WekelijkseGamers happe birthday late
Despite it is made of foam, it looks so real unless you are less than a couple of feet away from it.
Can I fly this as a new flyer or what's a model you'd recommend for a beginner? Thanks in advance
Any comments on grass landings? Is the nose gear up to it, or do they bend after a while?
GEar is always down when landing or you'll destroy the ordnance and little peripherals
@@MotionRC So you're saying the NOSEGEAR is NOT UP TO IT! You can do better than that.

A little rudder goes a long way in a jet at speed
@@MotionRC sweet, I’ve just been banking and yanking with the jets. I’ll give a smidge of rudder
Great video!! Could you let us know what model/type of onboard camera that you used? Thanks!
+m8knitcount
That camera is called Mobius, you can find it on our website under the electronics tab and click cameras.
+Motion RC Ok, thanks!
How did you mount the camera..As soon as I saw that footage, I got excited about the possibility of this plane.
I like to know what type radio you guys are using in one in this video was talking to the pilot . Very cool. Like to have one like that.
A Bigger View Real Talk Pilot Ryan was using a DX6 Mike is using a DX8 or 9
Motion RC Thanks, I would love one of those radios that talks DX8 sounds good.
Freewing is all I will buy from now on, I'm a pilot, not a builder, hate building!!!
The only dog I bought was the yak 90 mm so underpowered it was embarrassing. That was there last bad plane thank god!!!
I just received an FMS P51 1400mm. Upon opening the box and checking contents, I noticed that I was missing glue, and spare prop blade and assorted spare parts. What would be the best glue to use?
We love the Foam Tac glue we sell
I don’t know which one I’d rather get, the Grey military one or the Thunderbirds one!
Personally, its hard to beat the F-16 with all the ordnance on it
Is this the new high performance version ?
sweet...I'm thinking i now need a jet
HOW CAN I STRENGTHEN THE BOTTOM FOAM DUCT FOR BELLY LANDINGS on grass , I dont like the small from wheel for take off in grass, I have to do something so if I can hand launch [can this model be done ].
Rondo Schiavoni fibre glass sheet
How come this is called a Viper instead of a Falcon?
Mike's from Canada, enough said. Lol
+GBLynden
Before the name Falcon was given to the F-16 it was already in military service. The military gave it the name Viper.
Motion RC LOL I live right by the border and suspected that based on his accent :)
Motion RC Thank you! I just posted a video of my buddy flying his (he loves you guys), so I wanted to be sure the video tags were as accurate as possible.
Beauty.
What radio are you using?
Dx6 on Ryan's, Dx9 on Mike's
You 2 guys are great
Is it possible to fly this ac off grass? I am looking at a used demo paint scheme version.
so cool.. I might get into this hobby..how much would all that cost?
Bossman a plane like that would probably be like $300 - $400, but that's not a good plane for someone who is new to flying rc planes
Where is the onboard camera installed? on the vertical stabilizer?
How bad would the f16 be if it had vectored thrust?
Is it true you can only fly for around 3 min.'s at a time?
Depends on how you fly them. Throttle management can extend flight times. But 3-5 minutes in a jet is exhilarating. When i started with jets I had 1/2 and like 1 battery for each. I would do those 2 flights, get the batteries on charge and relax with a warbird or high wing cub, and then the jets batteries would be good to go for the next round
Hope this one isn't like the piece of crap from banana hobbies. Looks much stronger.
I'm thinking of getting an EDF Jet. Are they hard to fly?
Not once your confident in your flight skills. But I wouldn't start the hobby with an EDF Jet as your first experience. A trainer plane is highly recommended
Thats cool ;) Every kind of transmitter able to count the reminding times?
Kamran Pipekesh nope
Isnt it a f16 fighting falcon
Guys can you tell me how much percentage on the flaperon movement you have on the take off and the landing setting
+John Knopp
Hi John, our take-off flaps are down, slightly shy of half flap. Check the manual for down flap measurement and set just above half flap. I didn't like full flap for landings so I set mine around 19mm. Every plane's servos and radio are different so you'll have to experiment a little to iron out what works best for you.
So whats the flight time on this bad boy?
Was wondering how long the field is you are flying off of?
280'x30'
how long is that runway? Is it US230?
Someone out there control that besuty just with tailerons ? And flaps just for start and landing?
Pilots definitely have. HEad over to Hobbysquawk.com and read through the thread
Hi, I want to know if you are shipping to CHILE, I am interested in this model F-16 with its installed electronics + the lipo battery you need. . . I need to know if I buy the plane + the battery if they can send both to Chile and what their total value would be.

What camera did you use at 0:23 and how did you fix it?
All in one Micro FPV camera in place of the pilot???? just a thought :)
mmm, thats sounds good!
That's what i plan on doing when i purchase one of the fine beauties from you guys over at motionRC asap
Do I need a controller for this plane or does it come with one ?
Sounds like the landing strut servos aren't centered.
?
+Motion RC at the beginning of the video while showing the retracts, when closed you could still hear the servos struggling.
Probably a gear door servo
lol, in all games this is the starter p'lane, altho IRL, I don't think so, answer me pls :3.

have you ever crashed it ?
i told myself not to watch this video....i was wanting the T-45. now what a mess !
Resistance is futile...lol
Big boys big toys for the boys can’t beat the Yanks 🇬🇧
how do you charge them?
You charge LiPo batteries with LiPo Battery chargers. Many variations available at Motionrc.com
Looked like they were trying to simulate the elephant walk.
7.50: cool of the battery from that takeoff? wow...get a battery with a higher c rating...
How much it cost?
It needs a break system!
Le compro su avión por favor su precio.... Le escribo desde Perú.....
The landing gear operation isn’t very realistic. The nose wheel actually turns and becomes parallel with the fuselage of the jet.
Made of foam?
Made of iron and steel
I bought a new remote control jet🚟🚟🛫✈🛩🛫🛬🚣😀
Bingo fuel, but i just took off!
BINGO!
