Very nice flight! It sounded like you were having a lot of fun with that Tiny Parkjet ;-) Thank you for the mentions as it is very much appreciated ;-) See you in the Air!.
Have one coming in! I have to change the transmitter to mode 1 first. Will make that modification too. I guess the best way to get better control of it, would be to use a RadioMaster transmitter. It can connect to Eachine models too.
Ground Control is an amazing tinker and always very helpful!! I guess it’s also possible with a TX16S to play with rates and expo with the same result.. Thanks for the video!!
I just got one of these F-16's and I'm going to be controlling it with a Radiomaster TX16S. I'm going to try achieving the same result by adjusting the elevator rates and expo to dampen the control surface throw. I will maiden the plane this Sunday and let you know how it turns out. I might go ahead and move those rods at the elevator horn as an additional measure. I just want to avoid having to cut into the plane. I do know this though, the TX16S turned my 400mm P-51, F-4U and T-28 into really smooth fliers once I adjusted the rates and expo.
Well, controls don't work right for some reason. Used my P51 Warbird model which works on all my Warbirds. Looks like they did a throttle and stabilization mix in what is normally no stabilization/expert mode. I can get the stabilization off using Ch6 with throttle on using Logical Switches, but then there are no control movement. May have to replace receiver with standard Warbird receiver...One thing after another with this stuff.
@@MrDLRu The F-16 was the only VolantexRC plane that I ever sent back for a refund. It just would not fly, either with the stock controller or the TX16S. It was the same problems that a lot of owners have reported. It seems you either get one that works or it doesn't. It's a 50/50 split.
@@KS6DAY That's too bad, as it's such a good looking mini jet. It really makes no sense considering all their Warbirds and how good they fly. I bought mine off Aliexpress without a controller, so looks like I'm replacing the receiver. Will need to do an elevator/rudder mix for elevators, but should work. Brian Phillips had same issue with wonky movement in unboxing and setup, but it flew pretty good in beginner mode. When I initially bind to mine and go into expert mode, all the surfaces react normally. But when I hit the throttle, it all goes wonkers and stability kicks in it seems. I can actually turn that off, but then no control surfaces move. Phillips thought something was sticking in the servos, but that's not the case. Volantex did some reprogramming on these.
Awsome! I will probably do that on my Mustang. To bad that eachine doesn't sell these planes as BNFs. Then you could do the same thing with expo. and similar. Keep up the good work!
thanks dom i shall do that cos i found it very touchy to , but its a lovely lil plane aint it me and my boy go out with these i have f15 and my boy flys the f22 , happy flying bud , salute gary

Nice flying. I am new to this, just got the F-16 and want to mod it before first flight. What do you use for glueing the styrofoam? Sorry, I am absolute noob.
Does anyone here know how to get a new propeller on! Mine broke during a grass landing and I’m having trouble pushing the new propeller on. I don’t want to push the motor out of its mount.
Maybe spin the motor and use some medium sand paper to take some material off it. But just do it a little at a time. You want the prop fitting as tight as possible
@@EssentialRC would be cool to fly fpv but plans are not like cars .. CG needs to be on point so I understand man but thank you for replying to my comment 😊

How do you change the prop on it?
Where can I get just the rx ? I really like the elevon feature
Maybe just buy a modern radio. Its more to do with that than the receiver. Radiomaster Pocket or TX16S

I've got the TX16S and fly all my Volantex Warbirds with it. Just got the F16 today, so how did it work out with the TX16S?

Did it work?
Nice flight and good tip GCRC nice tinkering GC 🇦🇺
Your camera lady has nerves of steel. She didn't even flinch when that F-16 low passed her face. She's a keeper.
Completely different flight, Looks like the mod did the trick 👍🏻
It so did!
Awsome! I will probably do that on my Mustang. To bad that eachine doesn't sell these planes as BNFs. Then you could do the same thing with expo. and similar. Keep up the good work!
I would still do the mod. You can bind these to your multi protocol though.
thanks dom i shall do that cos i found it very touchy to , but its a lovely lil plane aint it me and my boy go out with these i have f15 and my boy flys the f22 , happy flying bud , salute gary
Good to hear Gary! Glad I shared this mod so you get more fun out of it. Cheers and have a good weekend...
Nice! I unfortunately lost the 2 propellers provided, do you know where I can find spare or compatible ones, plese...?

@@EssentialRC Yes, thanks, but they are unfortunately out of stock...😭
Nice flyer and nice looking plane
Maiden my F-16 yesterday seemed very nose heavy thought it might be the battery, but wondering if this maybe the fix.
This will solve it being sensitive in Expert mode not a CG issue. Check the control surfaces are at neutral.
Sweet nice Flying Ace
Thanks 👍
Nice flying. I am new to this, just got the F-16 and want to mod it before first flight. What do you use for glueing the styrofoam? Sorry, I am absolute noob.
I use UHU POR.
@@EssentialRC thx, will try
Awesome result Dom 👍
Thanks 👍
I have a f-22 rapter on its way. Is this mod advisable for this as well
Thanks
I'm a new to the whole thing, so wish me luck
Ps: Great video
I think the Raptor is good stock. Just fly it on Medium mode.
Good Job 👍
Thanks for sharing this information 😊I have the same F16 mini Falcon 😊So i wany to do the same to mine.😊
Yes. A worthwhile mod for better control. Good luck with it !
Whoooo!
Good
What spec motor, esc, servo and propeller bro?
Got any conclusion about the expert mode? Unflyable or?
Flyable but still sensitive after the mod.
Will you review the new EDF F16 from Eachine? It is available at banggood.
Yes. Coming soon!
I need help.
I crashed into a tree and destroyed my propeller. But I don't know how to change the propeller. ???

I crashed mine and now it won’t lift at all even though the elevator still works
Need some fpv on there now dude 😎 fat shark fpv would be great for this if you could manage to fit the unit without throwing the CG out of wack
Too small. It won't carry extra weight.
@@EssentialRC would be cool to fly fpv but plans are not like cars .. CG needs to be on point so I understand man but thank you for replying to my comment 😊

Keep clear of don
Don?
@@EssentialRC sounded like don or is it Dom.can you make it clear
Dom. And yes, keep clear. Always dangerous! 😁
@@EssentialRC my friend builds them as well unbelievable dom.3/4 scale Mustang all sorts of planes helicopters all in all its a lot of funn
