Your wife aka "camera crew" is actually phenomenal at tracking RC aircraft with a camera! Top notch and the viewers really appreciate it.
Totally agree!!!
I guess I'm not going to get any help or a reply
Your a great rc pilot, solid calm and positive expectation is so underrated, amongst the rc community. You seem to have skill and calm in abundance, great flying.
I really appreciate your kind words!!!! Thanks!
“I got the tip dirty.” Happens to the best of us.
It can be the best part of my day ;)
You do a great job flying. Trees, electric wires and houses. My hat goes off to you buddy.
Thanks 👍
I appreciate your honesty in warning people that these aren't a 1st or 2nd edf jet...maybe a 3rd. You have crazy piloting skills..especially what you fly & where you fly it! Obstacles all around you...alot of people dont have those kind of skills. So, good on you for warning them.
Sweet planes...good job on the vids👍
Thanks Chris! I know for a fact that there's so many way better pilots out there, but I DID learn to fly in "tighter" quarters, and for me, it's kinda normal. Some guys think it's the same as flying with a wide opened flying field, but it's honestly NOT...there's good and bad that goes with it. Good, it FORCED us to stay close for filming. Bad, it's a lot harder to shoot landings on a FAST plane like this. This plane flies GREAT, but it needs time and a LONG shallow glide slope to get in at the right speed....this helps to keep the gear from getting bent, like I did ;) OR there's just more flying, and more practice and playing with CG to get it WAY back without making the plane fall over on it's side in a NASTY low level stall ;(
This plane is so stinking gorgeous! Horizon just keeps making these things better. So nice.
Couldn't agree more!

SO Cool. I just talked the wife into letting me get a Draco, and now this... I'm doomed! LOL
hahahaha!
Good luck! Still trying to talk my wife into letting me get a Draco....Or should I say the boss...
@@josefmd I refer to mine as "The Minister of Finance", or SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed). LOL
@@kelvinbloomfield1375 Yep.. LoL.. I still live by the mantra " Happy wife Happy life"
Shit I'm just a young guy trying to convince my wallet to get the draco
You have great skill Brian! F-16s indeed are hard to land, but in my opinion, I love this, one of my fav.
You are absolutely the very first person I have ever seen successfully change out a retract without purchasing parts exclusively from the company that made the jet! Great job
Thanks Tuna! I HATE buying parts, BUT on retracts, it's just the better option...when we run these "early" release flights, this sorta thing is almost bound to happen, since we CAN'T get them many times, this time included - LOL!
I know this screw repair will probably bend too ;( BUT, if it bends the right way, I can just turn it 180 degrees, and get back at it, then when it breaks off, I'll just swap it out. I'd like to put a brass sleeve over the screw to thicken up the assembly a bit, but still allow it to come off if I'd have a real rough landing. Maybe SS would be better, since it'd be stiffer??? Not sure the best answer, but I know that a large part of my issue on that item was the short strip and short flying circuit, but this is what I LOVE. I love the simulated carrier landings!!! I'll be doing a couple flapperon videos soon, so keep an eye out to see how much better (or worse) she performs. You don't want to have to crash yours, so let me do it to mine for you - LOL!!!!
Thanks for being here with us Tuna Flights!
That Bird 🐦 is SCREAMING 🧏🏾♂️!!!
oh yeah!
Hey Brian I can't thank you guys enough for these honest flights and repairs. Its helped me greatly. I know this comment is probably over a year late but I just started this amazing hobby back in April. I fly this beautiful bird at my local airfield and land on a grass runway and have had to replace that nosewheel axle myself. The nose gear axle thread is reverse threaded, if you turn clockwise to remove it they come out fairly easily plus HH sells them at a reasonable price too which is great.
Your videos set the standard for everyone else... Another brilliant review. After watching your videos any RC pilot should know if this plane is for you or not. Thanks Brian and camera-crew! Cheers from Switzerland!
Wow, thanks! We appreciate your kind words, and hope that we can keep giving you all what you're needed ;)
Thanks Brian, Camera crew, you guy are super,,,,
Our pleasure! Thank you!
I enjoy watching you fly. When you make mistakes......you film them. And show them. I feel most guys don't do this. Thanks for another informative video.
Thanks Rob. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone shares what happened, and what they might be able to do to avoid them in the future. A lot of my mistakes are when I get lazy, or make undisciplined maneuvers, and I can just about always tell when they're coming - LOL. I hope these evens help to make others better pilots, or at least you can enjoy our screw-ups ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I've seriously watched almost all of your videos. I talk about you to my brother all the time when he and I talk about flying or buying new planes. I'm always like "watch this Brian Phillips guy on UA-cam. I'm like he crashes and stuff.....shakes it off....just like I do." Makes me feel like a more normal pilot. Seriously though, I enjoy your videos and you guys do a good job putting them together and giving everybody a head start on setup and CG and Battery placement....blah blah blah. Keep up the good work. I just picked this F16 up and look forward to maiden this weekend.
@@BrianPhillipsRC also for the amount of obstacles that you fly through in your yard I'm surprised you don't crash more often. I know I'd smoke those power lines at the end of your driveway if I was flying there. 😁
You are the best my friend.Im retired fire rescue and rc planes are my joy they make my retirement fun.I sure have learned alot from you.
Awesome! Glad you're here with us Michael!
As you're learning, I hope you're doing ;) This hobby is so much fun, and so much to learn, you could probably never stop learning!!! That's part of the draw for me, but boy is the learning curve steep at first!!!
Your videos keep getting better and what is of upmost importance is the true.world flying that you continually show! Please keep up the great work BOTH OF YOU! Brian,your wife’s filming is very very good and gets better by each video! Your a lucky guy
Thanks Tuna Flights!
Aside from the awesome fly’n, I really love how you go into the repairs too.
I always say I don’t know what I like more; the building or the flying…. But your vids have it all!
😉👍🏼
thanks so much!
Brian love to watch you fly, just got back into the hobby after 40 + years and you have showed me so much, thanks for the videos
Awesome! Steep learning curve, and we're glad to help you back on your feet. You're probably already a better pilot than me, but the Tech has changed SOOOO much, right??!?!?
@@BrianPhillipsRC you are right about the tech, all new to me but I am flying again with safe and as3x, love the foam planes.
Hi, Brian just joined your site. My grandson who just turned 10 and I just turned 69 have been watching you on You Tube. Really enjoy. Just getting into RC Plane Flying. Retired from the USAF. Have at least 1,100 hours of flying under my belt, not as a pilot, just going around TDY (temporary duty assignments). Really have learned a lot just from watching you. My call sign is "BOMBER" and my little wing man grandson is "ICEMAN."
NICE! Very cool! Inter-generational experience! Live it up. My Grandpa and I shared this together, but only for the last few years of his live, before he passes away. I'm so glad we had that time together.
Very cool that you got so much flight experience! Do you have a plane now?
@@BrianPhillipsRC It was such a pleasure to hear from you. Yes, I purchased the Apprenticed STS 1.5M from Horizon Hobby. I watched you put the flaps on your Apprentice STS 1.5M your friend gave you. I'm going to join the RC Club in Perry, GA. I live here in Warner Robins, GA. The President of the Club is going to teach me how to fly for free which is a blessing on the buddy system after I get some flying hours in on the RF9.5 Flight Simulator I bought from Horizon Hobby. I haven't opened the Apprentice yet, it is still in the box. I opened it to check it out to make sure it was OK when I received it. Wish I bought the Turbo Timber 1.5 BNF instead, since it had flaps. I'm going to see if Horizon will let me send it back. It's past their return policy. If not I'll try to sell the Apprentice and buy the Turbo Timber. Just don't have any experience in installing the flaps on Apprentice. If I did I would keep it. Thanks again for replying. Hunter, my grandson was thrilled to know you replied to my email. He really likes watching you on You Tube. Also, you have a beautiful family. I will be married to my wife this July 11 for 45 years. She is 1/2 Native American (Cherokee). Her Indian name is "Golden Hair." RICKEY PHILLIPS "BOMBER" & "WINGMAN"
Looks fan-tastic (sorry for the pun). I used to work next to an Airforce base in Texas, I had lunch outside quite a bit so I could watch the F-16s and other jets take off and land....it never got old, and now I miss it lol
Fan-tastic - LOL LOL LOL - some hate puns, while I LOVE THEM!
I got love for your channel.when I'm in bad mood I watch how u enjoy the hobby and it make me think life is good .🙏🙏🙏 when u have opportunity.be save
Thanks Sally!
I was watching this with headphones and the sound of the jet is even better. Think it might be one of the best sounding EDF’s IMO
AWESOME - Did I cause any hearing loss for you??? LOL - People are always giving me trouble about my outbursts.
@@BrianPhillipsRC LOL! your outburst’s are what make the channel great!
@@BrianPhillipsRC also, I always love the sneaky adult humor jokes you sneak in when you can 😂 “fiddling with the shaft to get the job done”
Camera Crew is the best at shooting high speed passes, no other channel comes close!
Thanks, and I agree!!!
Good think a truck didn’t come by and drive over it when you rolled out in the road. LOL
LOL - that's a real concern ;)
Really appreciate the honesty in this segment. We all get a reality check now and then. That landing gear is impressively robust for sure! Your work-around was great. This is the kind of thing new fliers need to see and understand. BTW - The RTL fastener kits are life-savers. A bit pricey for sure, but nice to have around when you need something.
As always, thanks much for sharing.
Steve
Well said! I was SOOOOOOO glad I had all those weird sizes of bolts and washers and lock washers. We JUST got it in time for our Draco maiden, and we needed a bolt for that too, but you'll see that footage later :)
AWESOME Plane, btw. There's NO way that gear should have been in such good shape after my last CRASH ;)
Best in the Game!
Heavier than the ThunderBird?
Let the good grass go to seed, an mow down the crud or agent orange it!
Beauty BP.
The Thunderbird is heavier, I believe...it's a bit bigger too, but more wing area too, if I'm correct in my guess...
As for the grass, it's a work in progress, and it's a pain in the butt! I need to top dress this whole front yard area, but that's gonna take about 5 truckloads of good black dirt, and 2-3 truckloads of sand - LOL.
We JUST got a grapple for our tractor on Friday, so we'll be clearing some downed trees in the near term, then I'll have access to a large 3 acre part of our property for delicious, near perfect soil!!! Can't wait to get it RIGHT, then I'll make a place to store our hay back there too. This will happen over the course of a few months, or all year, possibly longer, but I new I wouldn't be able to tolerate anything less than "in town" grass ;( - Everyone ELSE was right - LOL!
I'm impressed with the work you have done with this model.
Thanks James!
Impressive flying skills! It doesn't matter what plane you are flying. That's a beautiful plane. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are being too humble! I think you are a great pilot and that landing in the environment you fly was simply great!
Thanks, but a better pilot would have got the sink rate better, or gone around - I'm still learning every time I fly. I don't want people to blame the plane, since the plane doesn't pick when to put itself down ;)
Also, we try to be fair to the manufactures when WE screw up. It's a function of being honest to YOU the audience, and being FAIR to the MFG (or distributor). We're honored to be in a position to review these planes, so we want to be careful to take blame when we screw the pooch.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you. I agree you with all that you said. Also, I am sure you will improve and gain more and more experience and get the sink rate right.
I think a better pilot would find a more appropriate place to fly, but that's just me
I have this jet, it looks incredible, but it is the hardest plane I have ever tried to land and I have been flying for 25+ years, the wing loading is garbage and it comes down like a brick. Two flights two repairs, possibly totaled this morning. You did really well. The landing gear is almost bullet proof. I just wish they came with a larger receiver to enable flaperons
I have a video to enable this and reverse thrust. You WANT to see this whole playlist. You will benefit from it. I LOVE this plane, but it's not the easiest to land.
Adding flaperons is a must..as without flaps no pilot could pull of a batter landing. Might as well employ Aircraft carrier systems too
1. tailhook on plane and wires on runway to engage tail hook
2. Arresting net as last resort
3. Latest beacon following computer assisted landing system.
I want to do it due to the cool factor, but flapperons first.
That's bad ass!! Very very cool!
I agree ;) Thanks!
Brian & Camera Crew, if you watch and listen at 26:45 in this video, the mic doesn't rub on anything. The noise seems to be a bad/dirty connection at a plug & socket, just a thought. Love you guys, keep up the great teamwork!
Okay, good idea. Not sure how to prevent this, since they're screw in style 3.5mm plugs????
@@BrianPhillipsRC I would disconnect then reconnect all connections used for audio in your setup (a couple times) to clean/re-seat the contact surfaces inside the plugs, especially if they don't get disconnected very often. Worth a shot, hope it helps! If problem persists, there could be a bad spot in a wire, the interference seems to be triggered when you are moving.
Woooooooooooo hoooo! That's a remote control Rocket.
OHHHH yeah, it is!
Brian you and camera crew, really do great work, I watch you builds and videos over and over. They get better and better, every day I wait for my bell to see if Brian Phillips has a new video. Its always a high light keep up the great work.
Glad you like them! Thanks Donald!!! We really appreciate you all being here with us!
Hey Brian,,I must say you fligh good but I must give you're wife a big +10 for her video work ,,I see many people filming but they can follow the planes very good but you're wife is really a superpro cameralady because she films the planes so very good with her camera that you see it all very easily ,,she never loses the plane out of sight ,,,she is a pro-camera girl .
100% agree! She is so good, and it's HARD to film planes!!! I've tried, and I'm terrible at it!
OMG, Camera crew great job 👏👍
Thanks, she is good!!!
The smile on his face at the start of the vid!!!
Yeah - Real deal!
Pour concrete, trim a few branches and make use of that hill by making a curved runway like a bush airport or island airport or new aircraft carrier design and maybe add a net like racing quads. You two are awesome. I watch your videos and often focus on your interaction with each other. Great teamwork!
Cool idea! We want a pond somewhere, someday, so we're being careful NOT to prevent this with out decisions now.
Great video. Love my 70mm F-16. Can’t wait to get my hands on this 80mm.
This plane is so much more plane, than the 70mm. You'll LOVE it!!!
Awesome flights Brian sorry about the landings but loved the repairs part also. Thanks to the camera crew for spending your time filming all the videos. Love the plane I am not ready for that yet but F16 is my favorite jet I used to work at us air force base in Pittsburgh and had the opportunity to see a few of them up close and have been obsessed ever since. Great job !!!!
Thanks Robert! This plane is definitely a bit more challenging than some, but it flies and looks SOOO good. The landings are where you need to keep a fresh change of drawers...
I’m so pumped to get this plane now! Great video Brian and camera crew! You guys are killin it!
Thanks so much!! This plane is great; I hope you'll get one!
GREAT LANDING!!!
Thanks!
Wow great flight and nice jet. I like it so much,I wish I could have one.😊
It is a wonder, this F-16 - LOVE IT.
Hi brian i wanne say thank you for the good video's. I watch and learn from them. Very usefull greetings from the Netherlands
Glad you like them! Thank you for the kind words and for being here with us!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:07:48. LANDING!
1:07:49. LANDED!
1:07:50. THROTTLE CUTS ON!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love to see that your human too. You do some amazing flying with all the trees you have to deal with. As always WELL DONE!!! Very enjoyable to watch.
Glad you enjoyed! "Don't think we're gonna have a problem with rollout" - LOL ;)
I'm sitting here with my Champ and Sport Cub like what the heck is going on! Wow! These videos are a great end to the day! Great work Brian!
LOL - You'll get there Mike!!! I promise - stick with it, and you'll be doing this in a few short years ;)
Nice indeed--- a treat to see a viper/falcon rc that has proper landing gear instead of chicken wire
Couldn't agree more!
Price is not bad for what you get. Just Love the sound of it.
It's not cheap, but it's a solid plane. You have to use good batteries, and have to get her slowed down for landing, or have a huge landing strip....Well, I guess that didn't save Nate - LOL!
That F16 rips! Good flying!
Yes it does! and thanks!
Dang!!! that is an amazing looking jet but I am really not an F-16 guy! I lived with the F-15 for 10 years in my AIr Force days!!!
When they release an F-15 in 80mm, which they need a TWIN 70mm if you ask me...but when they do, I'll think of you Jim ;)
Awesome review Brian. Love the first LONG landing! Too funny. This is the first MUST HAVE model for me in a long time. I'm pre-ordering now. Nothing beats a good F-16.
Good choice! That landing was crazy!!! I couldn't believe I got it down the bend in one piece!!!
Wow gentel mind smoll jet plane flying fast nice operate it is so gorgious
Thanks!
Prachtig om te zien. Complimenten voor de piloot en wat een prachtig toestel!
Thanks Dick!
Perfect Landing, looks nice and flies fast. I like 👍🏾
Enjoy your videos... flying ability...and GREAT camera work by " Camera Crew " !
Thank you very much!
That sounded like a nervous, scared, laugh of relief that you kept the rubber side down, and on the extra extended slalom portion of the runway..... Heheheheheheh.
IT WAS EXACTLY THAT!
Saw this thing at Horizon Fest past weakened. Unbelievably cool. I am a heli guy but would love to get something like this.
If you're flying Heli's and want to get this plane, might want to start with the F-15 or Habu, just an FYI. I want you to have a great experience, and this one is not super easy, but it's not as hard as flying some Heli's, that's for sure!!! Just happens to be a slightly different skill set.
F15 bit.ly/30RrnlG
Habu bit.ly/38Kilv1
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks Brian I’ll look into those.
That pass at 3:38🤯
It was glorious ;) I still can hardly believe I thought I could fly from the "runway" for this plane!!!
downside for me with this one brian is the length of the landing strip you need to get it down. looks like your grass off the runway you have . saved it .great flying and great camera crew footage as always
looking forward to seeing you fly the Bigfoot 1300mm RTF With Vector Stabilization looks like a great plane you can land on a dime .
I'd love to cover the Arrows lineup, but Hobbyzone.com won't get back to me??? Not sure what else to do. tell them you want to see US review it, next time you speak with them. Thanks Kelvin!
I agree about the runway issue...but keep in mind, when I get my GRASS growing, it'll be a lot nicer on the edges of my runway, ALSO, I need more practice with this beauty! I bet I can ship the CG Back even further, and get this thing in at near high alpha.
Hey Brian I want to thank you for helping me accomplish my goal and programming my nx6 transmitter You said I could do it I almost lost hope in myself with your help and the help of that transmitter magazine that Horizon sent out and putting my mind into it I did it Finally tomorrow will be maiden flight without safe I got butterflies already thanks again have a great day🇺🇸👍👨✈️
That is awesome! Good luck Gilbert!!!
4:40 best landing ever nice!!!!!!😎😎😎
I liked it ;)
great show Brian!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it Musky Bob!
I like it! Draco, what Draco.
LOL - very nice JETman ;)
Sooo close!! I guessed f-14 or f-22, but dang is this super cool. I love those extra scale retracts and the full elevators. The speed is super fast as well!!
To be honest I was hoping for an E-Flite F-14, but this is good enough! (For Now...)
You will be having a good year ;) STAY TUNED - Seriously
@@BrianPhillipsRC YES!! YES!! YES!! (Reading between the lines)
Damnit Eflite, just bought a Draco,.. should of waited for this! Great flying Brian
NO BOTH!!! You need Both!!! Both awesome...but yeah, I was saying the same thing the other night - back to back beauties?!?!??! What's NEXT?!??!
hello Brian how are you ... this jet is fantastic and the sound of the turbine is very beautiful too, it was worth my friend a hug.
Totally!!!!
Greatest Landing ever
Thanks!
You should have way more views and subs., Im watching all your vids and I watch Them all the way!
beautiful plane and wonderfull sound. I hope before I retire we can get a battery to last 10 minutes in jets like this. May half to solve the mysteries of fusion to do that though lol 😆
LOL - Exactly!
Now that's how to stick a Landing !!!! You Da Man Brian !!!!
LOL....top-gun, "...I think we've shown this as an example of what NOT to do..." - Later that night, sleeping with the instructor :) :) :) :) ;)
Air brakes and Drag chute would come in handy in an emergency. Nice Jet!
I think air breaks would be way cool, but If I were gonna modify this plane, I'd add LE Slats and Flapperons, then I could slow her down and keep control ;)
“Grins and giggles”
:)
Great review Brian! You are certainly among the best. The torch thing.... all I can say is, big ones! lol
I also prefer big ones ;)
I freally enjoyed your reoairs of the airplane. I
Thanks - I didn't enjoy doing them - LOL ;) BUT yes, we know it's helpful to watch along. She is a great F-16, and worthy of repair ;)
Wow!! amazing flying site you have. You can just walk out in your jammies and fly, you're so blessed. Love you videos and you're kind off funny too. Have you ever had any neighbors complain about you flying over their houses? Or have you ever had any crashes onto a neighbors house or yard? Keep up the good work.
Not sure if you have tried them yet, but I did a search for breaks and it look like Dubro makes a light weight brake for the nose wheel it ties into the elevator servo or could use a separate micro servo. Might help with some of your faster planes like this one. It would likely need to be modified to work with certain planes , but I think you would be up to the challenge!
I'll be adding flapperons too. This might help a bit, but to be honest, I need practice with this plane.
Another great review! Great work by your camera crew also!
Much appreciated! Thanks Jeffrey!
I was surprised you didn’t take the F-16 to the road. I remember you doing that with another jet. Not questioning you, I’d need 3 of your driveway lengths to land this EDF.
Hence the reason my 80mm a-10 after being built 6 months ago hasn’t been maidened. (Scared to land it. Well, scared I’ll run out of runway)
Yeah, fear is a real thing ;) The F-18 is easier to land, if you have space. Flaps make a HUGE difference on the F-18, but the rollout and wonky but BEAUTIFUL landing gear makes for a complex situation if you have any yaw correction on the landings with either of these planes.
You should do some stuff on flex innovations planes. THey are faantastic and well organized company. THe jets are incredible and their 3d planes are second to none.
We'd love to do this, but don't have a relationship with any distributor. We would very much like to do this, if you can recommend distributor.
I agree with you on just the plain paint scheme...I would do something more scale like what I experienced in the USAF.
I love the way it looks when it's real looking. I still want some glow strips on these beauties - that would be AMAZING!
@@BrianPhillipsRC those would be nice!!
Just too Awesome Brian !!!! Love it Man !!!
Thanks again!
Is a nice f 16, I just hope horizonhobby would add brake system in it, because that thing comes in pretty hot on landing, great landing D, I don’t know how they would make it happen but it would be great innovation
You can get wheel breaks, and I might, but I'll be more likely to do one of two things...
1) I will tighten my modified nose wheel bolt, thus breaking all the time to a degree.
2) I will add flapperons and show how it works.
3) I may come up with a breaking system that's EASY to do and CHEAP ;)
Awesome flights Brian. Beautiful jet !
Totally! thanks :)
Brian have you unlocked reverse thrust for this jet? Andrew Flyguy has a good youtube tutorial on how to unlock it on a NX transmitter. Would love to see you do a landings video with it enabled. I know this plane rolls forever.
Yes, Video is done, uploaded and coming possibly tomorrow.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Awesome.
Man, I’ve always enjoyed RC airplanes but terrible at flying. You make it look so easy.
You can do it! You have to start somewhere, and we have all sorts of great ways to learn to fly. We have a new review about to release and it'll be perfect for you. Stay tuned and you can follow along!
@@BrianPhillipsRC awesome, will do!!
Almost at 100k subs dude congrats
Thanks!! Getting real close now!
Just fell in love, great video
It's an awesome plane!!!
Woooooow. Excelent
Totally agree!
Beautiful Aircraft!!!!! Great Video!
Thanks a lot! Agreed - she's amazing!
just a quick back note..For every slip there's a dirty missile tip.
LOL - yep!
Wow the speed of this thing.
True!
Its about time they start putting more lights on these stealth grey invisible jets.
TRUE! And at this price point, NO excuse NOT to have them ;)
I’ve seen my F 18 make vapor also and I thought I was losing my site I think it must be the shape of the wings just like the real thing Look like it forms on top of the wing you can see it when you’re rolling or flying upside down better and the humidity is high
So I'm NOT crazy!?!?!? That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool!
Awesome video
Thanks! Glad you came for the show Greg! The wallet is still sore from the Draco, and then THIS!!??!! Horizon Hobby is killing us ;)
Just had my second flight; made one attempt too many at my final and totally lost power while coming in. Came down short, level, but hard into the dirt. My front gear was a bit worse than Brian’s:(. Parts are on back order at HH. Gonna set my timer for 3:00 next time!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry to hear about the mishap. That's a real bummer, on maiden, no-less?!?!!
I'd be fixing it, if I was you... I like it better now that I can swap out the bolt that I put in there.
EDF's are power-suckers, and especially when you see that beauty whip by at close to 100mph and just beholding the beauty, it's so easy to blow right past the timer...I've done it too many times to count!
@@BrianPhillipsRC this was on my second flight, about a month after a good maiden flight. This time I just did one too many fly bys, oh yes, she looks and sounds great zooming past!!
Just ordered that fastener kit too!! What size tap/dye bits did you use? For that axle?
Great video as usual. Moment of elasticity is what you are looking for, not hysteresis
Yep ;)
Thank you Brian I appreciate the Info. I am still quite new to this hobby but I have already mastered 2 jets already. The Habu and the f-16 Thunderbirds. I will definitely buy this one though it Looks amazing!
The F-16 Thunderbirds is a bit easier than this, but it's a great way to build up to this more advanced, faster, and heavier model. This plane is great - I wish you the best of luck with this one!
i like the idea of that plane vs the competitors version but i wish they came up with the thunderbirds scheme (again)
I far prefer the grey, but you can get the 70mm in Thunderbirds still ;)
I do like the colour it’s just the practically of flying grey planes in grey sky’s. Loving the videos
Hoi Brian,first off beautiful plane and video.I am looking at the skynetic shrike,the only 1400 mm sportglider,exept the h-king walrus.
Any chance you be doeing a full revieuw off this plane?
Greetings from the netherlands .
I would review it but MotionRC doesn't work with us. Call an ask them to work with us and we'll be happy to do it ;)
