You're definitely doing this model justice. Good flying man! There's another channel that reviewed it and stalled on landing because they ran out the battery. There's no excuse to run out of voltage with an Avian ESC. These people have to know that you can get voltage info from the ESC on-demand.
Hell yes, I am get'n one. I love the way the 70mm edf flys. This one is way better. Fully loaded with all the good stuff. Super Wicked!!!!!!!!!
I am getting one of these for sure!!! I am working with my F-35 and I am loving it.
That’s awesome! When you get one consider using my link in the discro, thanks. We are about to fly the 70mm version as well
Ooh Man! Forget Draco, I LOVE F-16s. MUST HAVE!
I'm thinking the same 😆
This is fantastic, the Draco just doesn't push any of my buttons at all.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 I like Draco’s STOL capabilities, and the shocks (because I mainly fly from a cratered sand area). But for 100 dollars less you get a CUSTOMIZABLE 80mm F-16. And they were released within the same month. Because the F-16 is my favorite fighter, if I’m choosing between the 2, well I’m sold on the F-16!
@@AerospaceMatt I'm aware that other people are enthused about the Draco. That doesn't change my excitement level one bit, and I'm not trying to change anyone else's. Merely stating my opinion.
F-16 looks great and because I feel that way it also appears to be a good value. The Draco doesn't appeal to me, so it's price is irrelevant really. If it was $100 it wouldn't be in my hangar, even though as a model it looks to be as high in quality as HH's other recent offerings. Everyone likes something different, great thing about this hobby.
All models are customizable if you're a modeler.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 I’m not really a Draco fan either. It’s a little too large (and a little too expensive) for me. I wasn’t trying to convince you otherwise, just mentioning that it’s capabilities would work at my flying field. As an F-16 fan, a Bind N Fly F-16 is an incredible model, and I would definitely rather purchase this than Draco! (And I’m excited that they offer 4 different squadron schemes, while you can technically customize any model, I wouldn’t go paint this up to be a Thunderbird)

I love how jazzed you guys get on these reviews. Keep up the enthusiasm! It’s what makes your channel great!
I said I would get one. And it is a blast to fly. Super details, and reverse thrust is so cool on landings. Very easy to program the avian esc for reverse. I maiden flew mine today and the landings are so smooth. It feels a little heavier in the air than my 70mm edf f-16 but performs excellent. This is one SUPER WICKED falcon!!!!!!!!
The best looks, sound and performance in R/C I have ever seen. They are worth $499 just to have one in your house.
Man that things sounds awesome no motor noise whatsoever
First thing I did today is looking at youtube to see what was coming out today. I wasn't let down
I thought you’d like this one. It’s pretty sick all over. Where it counts too. The gear kill me and I love how big the battery bay is for different packs
OMG, i just ordered the 70mm thunderbirds and i was like man i wish they had a 80mm grey F16! 3 days ago! 😆 Awesome video and AMAZING Viper! 👍👍😎😎
Dude, you’re not missing out, the 70mm is a great performer and it’s a very reasonable price. This one like all the planes with Smart are expensive.
This one is next level. Your wish is granted
Beautiful Jet. Great 👍 Job Ryan. Sounds awesome too.
Hard to resist huh George. Lol. it feels just right. Not too heavy, not too light super scale with a lotta lights, HO! Let’s get it!
Ryan do you know when the PNP version will be available?
@@georgewatts9361 I’m not sure if there going to do a pnp on this one. Not on the site at all. I’ll ask
SWEEET!!! Got 2 full scale on station. One just in from Shaw. Ooooo-weee. This new bird is looking good. 👍👍
Nice maiden! Great flying and you brought her home like an ace!
Appreciate that! Killer jet getting along in some serious nastiness. Looking forward to a calmer day. Got it Saturday bad weather, flew it Tuesday, edit Wednesday, release Thursday. Whew!
@@PilotRyanMedia that's the way to get it done! Wish I had a slightly larger field for a plane like that though I know some guys that would fly it at the worst place 2 fly.
Great shake down. This should get me motivated to get out and starting flying again. So I hit the button. Can’t wait. Rhanks
Thanks Kevin!
Very nicely done in that wind, and a stunning model, great to watch. I just put a bit of thickish grease on the gear axles so it doesn't sounds like a shopping cart on landing.
This has bearings in the wheels
@@PilotRyanMedia Ah really?! That is a nice touch. Still rattles a fair bit though.. Perhaps its the firm tyres? Perhaps I'm overly picky, but it is nice when everything is quiet and smooth.
Just pulled 9 g's according to the built in telemetry of the E-flite 80mm edf f-16. What a blast. The wings are still attached!
Ha, that’s crazy
I thoroughly enjoyed this flight! Way to kill it with the wind! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it👊
Preordered already lol It’s an 80mm, it’s a no brainer
Dude that landing was butter!! Great video man
Thanks! Pretty gnarly day
You truly are one of the best pilots in UA-cam. Thanks
Super nice of you to say. Great jet with killer tech helps alot
@@PilotRyanMedia it's not the technology I'm seeing you on your chanel for a while and you fly super. But i miss when you have the bildingvideos. But I anderstand, you have a lot to do. Are you going to try out arrows new trainer and. I still wonder what transmitter I should buy spectrum nx 8. Futaba, dentrum. Of course I buy on your links..
Sweet, great shakedown. Normal windy day for my neck of the woods. Love the AS3X just for that reason.I love my Freewing 8s 90mm F-16, will be nice to add a 80mm 6s version to the mix. Now, waiting on eflite to add a F-22 to it as well and I’ll be all set! 👊🏼🔥🔥🔥🥳
That would be nice
And a 70mm f-16
And a 64mm f-16
And a 50mm f-16
And the f-16 bed sheets
And.....
Just finished mine up the other day. Waiting on the weather. Hopefully this weekend. Great flight.
Wow what a beauty! You greased that landing in some crazy wind. Nice job guys!
Thanks Eddie. First try looked so good I took it. They don’t always go as well but that one is worthy of writing home to mama about. Lol👊
Mine arrived tomorrow... .can't wait.
In better news you will be having some absolutely beautiful flying weather at the Pilot Ryan fly in in beautiful Central Florida in two weeks can’t wait 😜 let me get a rip on that bad boy
Pilot Ryan Fly in. Who the heck is that?
@@PilotRyanMedia some crazy guy he has a friend named Bobby K that puts all his planes together for him now because he is so famous. He also only drinks the finest pumpkin spice coffee ☕️ 😆
Adding this one to the hanger!! NICE PR!!
I think you’re going to love it
Super cool flight guy's! Kudos to you and Bobby K on a SWEET maiden!
Thanks Ken
About time someone did an 80mm EDF F-16! Nice demo flight and camerawork!
Thanks Sean! You’re right. It was just a matter of time
Perfect timing, I just crashed my Tbird F16 70m, time for an upgrade. Btw, a good landing considered the crosswind and all.
Thanks a lot. Yeah it worked out for me on that one. Sorry about the crash but yeah, good timing
Nice looking F16. Nice flying Ryan!
Thank you sir
Great year for the hangar, bad year for the checkbook 😎
Right, and it’s only April. Yikes💰
Maaaan! Just bought the F-16 Thunderbird and now E-flite finally comes out with an 80mm version. Bummer sauce, but awesome stuff as always Pilot Ryan and Bobby K 😎🤙🏻
Funny timing. That 70 is bad to the bone as well
It’s alright man you’re still going to have a lot of fun 😁
The drone footage takes your vids to the next level PR, great stuff!!
I think so to. It’s really something to mix it all together and still maintain a full flight in there somewhere
@@PilotRyanMedia Keep up the great work, love your honesty and genuine excitement getting a maiden in the bag. You and Bobby K make a good team.
What an absolute beauty!! I love me an F-16! This makes my Freewing F-16 look not so good lol
Which one the 90. The 70 is awesome and great value this one looks awesome price range a but high
Every bit as good looking but lighter and more efficient. Also, don’t have to buy the ordnance separately
Your the man pilot Ryan! At least in the RC world! Lol Great job to Bobby on video also!
Thanks Bob Turner. In real life too lol
how does it fly without a motor or a prop?
looks and sounds awesome !!! nice flight...
You’re not kidding, thanks JCB
HH really stepping up what foamies can be lately. The plastic around the canopy openings is absolutely fantastic. Wondering if Freewing is paying attention to what is going on?
They should be
Awesome bird! Nice landing too,Greaser!
Thanks BD. Sometimes you win the fight.

Crosswind 0
Another great informative video! Thank you
That's what I love about the simple f16 airframe thr isnt any bad f16 I flown alot and they perform well now that eflite has one this will be a winner next to freewing 70s
Nice flyin in that wind. Can’t wait to order
You know what’s up. Alright alright allright
Ordered mine this morning!
It’s bad to the bone. Enjoy!
@@PilotRyanMedia Man it looks it!
Ryan great flying a new plane in those conditions. Bobby K always an awesome video. The Old Man loves your videos. Enjoying early with my coffee ☕. ✈️😎💝💝
Beautiful jet can't wait to see more flights
Whew it was epic Ryan and Bobby, just glad it's not in Arctic 🤣 Fantastic 80mm F-16, love the plastic reinforcement, ordnance looks great out of the box, well done HH, Jeff in LA USA
They killed it! Thanks Jeff
I'm really liking this one Ryan. Sweet flying brother. 👍👍😎✌👊
Thank you Roy
Great job Ryan. Love your work and this new F-16. Looks amazing
Good times for sure. Can’t wait to get a calm day with it Thanks for stopping by
Great job guys love the plane!!!!
Thanks we do too, looking forward to more flights. Hopefully on a calmer day
Looks like another great flying one!
Feeling the pressure. Awesome work.
I always thought someone needed to make a scale F-16 in a 80mm... hopefully the weight is right on point.
It fits the spot between 90 and 70mm perfectly. All of the scale fidelity of the 90 in a lighter more efficient package.
I agree man 80 and 70s are just better weight and power
Awesome Pilot Ryan! I love me FMS 70mm and I love that thing so this is a must have
Both are fantastic edfs
@@PilotRyanMedia they sure are mate.
Nice looking plane.
great flying great model!!
Appreciate that George
Sending it, and yes I believe we shall grab one 😎🇺🇸
It’s a beast
Awesome! Hopefully they re-release it in the Thunderbirds scheme like they did for the F-18 Blue Angels! Then I can have a scale matching set!
I rather see a camo scheme or change it up my god too many tbird grey schemes let's see a dessert camo !!!
That would be cool
I hope so too! The Thunderbirds theme is practical. It was designed to help you see the plane, which is a good thing when flying it from the ground like us R/C guys do. The gray and camouflage make it harder to see the plane.
She looks very nice, super nice sound, and she is packed with tons of cool features from hard plastic canopy to afterburner light. Only hair in the soup from my point of view, i seriously doubt that she will be very good on grass...still a very nice model...nice video mate, cheers :)
Nice landing man! Great flight
Thanks, it was pretty gnarly. It worked out pretty good for me
When you get a chance can you demo the optional simulated afterburner for this jet that comes from Horizon?
Very nice. Looking forward to more videos from you guys on this one 👊
Ordered
👊
Sweet flight. It's got balls !
And then some. Thanks!
Awesome stuff brother, I'm looking to put an F16 back in my hangar
Order up
Wow, I love the sound. How is it different than the white one?
Bigger better faster more scale and comes with loads of ordnance
@@PilotRyanMedia I went to HH website and you're right, it is bigger and heavier (8lbs). I think I like this one way more. Are you going to do an unboxing and build video?
Yes, I just have to edit it up. We filmed the inbox and assembly. Might be a minute before I get it done
Awesome video
Best f 16 yet!!! Great vid man!
Thanks! That’s no doubt!
Wild Weasels F-16 Niiiice! 👍✨✨✨✨✨✨
Thanks Tugs looks great! There are 4 livery options in the box
I might need one.
Yeah dude. It’s been windy in Boston for 3 straight months. Every damn day!
That stinks
Ryan you are taking it to the bank, the drone footage is grate you guys have really stepped it up these last few videos. I was waiting on today to see if anything was coming out today, my jets skills are not up to the same standards as my prop skills. I love this bird , I have a problem with speed I fly every thing wide open and have a hard time slowing especially jets down.always afraid of a stall. I am going to buy a new bird this week this could be it.
Welp I ordered one had to such a badass plane
It is sweet
How can you not. Too cool to miss out on. Your Gloster shipped either today or will tomorrow. I saw the label
@@PilotRyanMedia sweet can’t wait to get both of them
Dannnnnnng Schweeeeeet. The sound is awesome 😎👍
Are you running a 30c 5000 or a 50c ?
Nice Flying Indiana...... Ryan LOL Very Nice. That thing Rips butt. Skip
Is it worth it to move to the NX series transmitter? Like a DX8 to NX6? Don’t really have a need for 8 channels
They are very easy to use and being able to update over wifi is really nice. If those sound like good features then maybe switch if not keep rolling with that dx8 it’s a good radio
Nice Ryan an Bobby 👊👊👊👍👍👍
Thanks Greg
Very nice it's just in base gray version no other colors eh? Thinking of getting one with the f16 demo teams venom wrap on it
Nice
Ryan you sneaky devil! How can you keep these things secret? I had a feeling something special was coming out this week and I was not mistaken. An 80mm from Horizon with Safe/AS3X and telemetry? I'm in! Great video by the way.
Lol thanks! You were right! Use that link if you don’t shop local👊appreciate it
Fantastic stuff Ryan, its going to be another great offering!
I agree. Super pumped to have this one
Excellent
Thank you looking forward to more flights
Looks like a great jet. I currently do not own a large jet, only the small Citation. Do you think it would be possible to make this my next jet, initially flying in safe mode until get to know its flying characteristics? I would fly it at a large airfield.
I’d say this jet is better as a 3rd or 4th jet. Check out the Eflite viper
Thanks. I’ll look into the Viper.
It's 2021 and we're still flying planes for 3-5 minutes????? Nice looking jet but my nerves are usually shot on any maiden, let alone a jet and 5 minutes isn't enough time to truly discern the tendency of any plane...and then ya gotta bring her down. Cool video as always and your landing was better than another UA-camr I saw!
No flying cars yet either, lol
@@PilotRyanMedia LOL, yeah the Jetsons lied! =)
At 3:35.... how did you do that??? lol are you giving it full down elevator??
Holy crap this is cool! I need one.
They’re pretty sick
Nice plane have to get one
EFlite crushing it again!
Fms. It's basically the same 70mm style but full stabs leds impressive landing gears in a 80mm slightly not much bigger size
Absolutely
@@jeffarab4947 Yeah Horizon/Eflite teaming up with FMS has been a great collaboration. The way I see it, you get the 70MM to rip it like a sport plane and get this one, which is 20% bigger with a ton more scale features, if you want a more scale bird. Both are fantastic.
@@TheDornado yes they are u get all kinds of options I do like that u get the ordinance with the new 80m
Cool F-16!
Nice stuff all around!!
How does speed compare to the 70mm Thunderbird version? I felt the 70mm is a great flyer just want a little more speed out of it. Does the 80mm give that?
It does
I returned my DRACO before I even got it just to get THIS bird instead! So NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍
Hi Ryan,
How do the F16 E-flite landing gear compare to the HSD F16?
The HSD jet is much larger
How is it to fly.? Especially with safe. Is it stable or squirrelly? Thanks
Safe was nice, takes awhile to turn around. Hard to read in those conditions. We’ll explore that in next videos
Amazing Jet!!!!
It truly is. I think guys are really going to like this one. Super scale with 4 livery options out of the box. HH is killing it
Gonna get one...
Consider using my link in description if you don’t shop local. Thanks! It’s awesome
Camera have a stabilizer built in?
Somewhat. The canon xa 50 does have some image stabilization
As always the dynamic dual deviever.
Thank you John
Where did you buy that T-shirt you were wearing?
Merry Boozer Teespring store
I really need this jet😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁
Mighty sweet!
