F- 16 PSS slope soaring at Middle Hope

This small foam model started life as an EDF model but my brother removed the motor,fan and esc so now it's a pure sloper.
Before you say, yes I know that Top Gun featured mostly F-14's but this was the nearest music I could find

Very nice

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Very smooth and stable 👍

I did launch it for him from further down the slope to get it away cleanly but after that it coped very well in the conditions

XLNT flight. Love how you appear to hover, then apply the after burner to cut through the sky!

[@heady2008]

He could have been lower though :-)

[@RcAircraft]

I like it 👍

[@James-bristol]

That looks good in the sky be nice to see and A-10

[@heady2008]

I must repair my Vampire and give it a session

[@jo2lovid]

@@heady2008 You must indeed.

[@yassermasood3423]

Oh wow 💖 that's wonderful. Is that you flying?
I want one 😍

[@heady2008]

Nope, it's my brother's. It did better than expected as it was fairly windy

[@yassermasood3423]

Of course it has to do good because it is F16

[@rcchallenge8626]

This 1 needed some risky low & close banking passes to shine on vid. It looks good but could see when flying up in to a head wind it had the characteristics of a glider ie just seemed to almost stop before banking round sharply?

[@heady2008]

I did ask him to fly close in but he only got close when he landed it........just by his feet.

Where can your viewers purchase planes like this?

[@heady2008]

Not sure where my brother bought the model but you can sometimes buy EDF jet as airframe only i.e. without electronics which makes it cheaper to convert to a slope PSS model
