@ModelAV8RChannel Год назад

Yep...its a fun one Jon! Its really stable in high alpha but I think even more stable in inverted HA like most planes are. Lot of rudder input for me too. Very nice flying buddy! Oh...cut my missiles off too...lol. I added some tail weight and use 3700's to get the balance more rearward...it takes off normal that way, but if its a bit nose heavy it always jumps off the ground at a higher speed. Nice drone footage as well. Great job on the vid buddy!

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

It might need to balance further back to have the stability I'm looking for with inverted high alpha. It's far more enjoyable upright, quite the opposite from the F-22. Thanks Adam!

@petetynning9964 Год назад

Great Job on the Demo Jon !! I retired as an Airline pilot with 38 years of flying with a major airline. Been flying RC planes for 5 years. I have been flying this F16 for 2 years and its a very well designed jet, that's why its very east to fly ! I fly circles around my 2 friends that have a free wing f15 ! Keep up the good work Jon !!!

@RogueRc Год назад

I’m amazed at how much info is in this vid. I took mine out today for a successful maiden using flaperons for takeoff. Since I swapped receivers most of my safe and as3x gains/angles were off just due to my guesswork. I’ll be updating them tomorrow morning with these settings!

@duonesmith Год назад

Nice flight Jon, I flew my FMS F-16 70 today. What a fun Jet to fly. Pulled of a cobra maneuver. Love it 🫡

@davidwilson4732 Год назад

Awesome flight Jon. This F-16 has been a favorite of ours for years. I currently own three of them. One stock, one upgraded motor and one with all gear and extra weight removed for hand launching and ultimate alpha. Here's one of our custom F-16's and we get as low as you can go in this video.

@aerospacematt9147 Год назад

Yes! I’m glad to see you fly one of these!

@kevinbelanger9948 Год назад

It is nice now bud I like that you have gone into depth on setups and flying as I have learned alot. I really do appreciate you, taking the time now since I first messaged you. Since then I have moved up from flying 50mm jets and only 1.5 m high wing planes and up to 1.5m warbirds up into the big 1700mm and 1800mm warbirds and up to the 80mm and 90mm jets. Thank you for all the effort you put in to help people like me it really make a huge difference as in 4 months I moved all the way up

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

That's so great to hear, Kevin! We wish you the best of luck on your journey and hope you'll grow even more as you continue enjoying this hobby.

@JasonMaxwellsRcHobbies Год назад

At 20:06 a great high alpha showing off that afterburner. What a beautiful glow she has even in bright daylight.

@rlbutterfield Год назад

Excellent video. Will watch/study several times. Thanks for trying to teach an old dog new tricks. 👍🏻

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Anytime Randy! Don't be afraid of this model - the stall tests showed that it just floats to the ground like a leaf with full elevator commanded. It's very hard to crash this thing.

@tahustvedt Год назад

My 70 mm Freewing F-16 is also very stable in high alpha. I can do extremely slow high alpha with it as I have shown on my channel. I'm running a 4S with a homemade EDF. No gyro, but a gyro would be nice on windy days.

@jetman899 Год назад

Thanks for all the tips!

@88lo-90 Год назад

nice video my friend I've had this jet for quite a few years now it was my first jet I've learned to fly..loved it ever since..cant wait to see your setup and mixing video if you make one..I would love to see its mixing capabilities thanks

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

You must have missed it! The setup is in the back end of the vid.

@Sabotage_Labs Год назад

Freaking love this Tbird. Loved it more when it was $300 when it was first released....lol. She's very light and responsive. Great battery times. And yes...the high alpha is phenomenal. With a nice 6-10knt head wing and it's really fun. Love landing it when it's breezy. Probably have 300+ flights on this one and she's still my fav! Yes, the control surfaces will wear out and the battery latch....sucks! The plastic will break. So, I just modded it and replaced with magnet lock and it works great! Funny you mention it... I've recommended this one as a first EDF jet. I just emphasize that you gotta get that nose up on landing like the real F16. The come in at sometime like 11.5° AOA on Approach. Met a real F16 pilot when I was flying and he was amazed at how realistic the landings are.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

It's definitely a lot of fun - I just would personally love full flying stabilators without having to mod them into the airframe.

@Sabotage_Labs Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC Well, get their newest 80mm F16...lol. full stabs and... very scale gear! I've got that too and it does fly a bit heavier. Good bird... no doubt but the Tbird is just one of those have fun do crazy stuff with. Stays light tol cause ya can't really get anything more than a 4000 in it lol. Kinda funny thing you can do with the new 80mm F16. Thrust reverse! It has the new spectrum ESC and you can reverse the thrust after landing. It actually works to slow ya down. It isn't as effective as say a jetliner reverse but... it does work. Looks pretty cool too. Kicks up dust off the runway outta the bottom cheater vents...lol.

@SMc-in5bc Год назад

This is an incredible RC! I was able to pick one up from my uncle who was killed in a workplace accident. He would have wanted me to go high alpha but I'm still struggling with the controls.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

We covered how to perform high alpha during the flights - if you're curious about how to do it, watch through and you'll see. It's really not hard at all!

@RogueRc Год назад

Thanks!

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Thank you for the donation, Eric!

@kevinbelanger9948 Год назад

It is a awesome jet to fly

@businessraptor134 Год назад

I stopped at not full stabilators... that's what makes the f 16 handle so well. I'll keep looking...

@RogueRc Год назад

I’ll be adding flaperons to my 70mm f16 next week. The DuPont connector just arrived and reminded me. You snip, and then crimp the three connector pins to the wires, and then crimp the plastic plug? It sounded like you are just throwing the plug on the cut wires and crimping those together. That sounds way easier.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Yep, that's all there is to it. Cut one of the leads going into the plug and strip the wires, then run them into the metal connectors and crimp them on. Slide them into the plug and enjoy!

@aerialphotographyadvance0007 Год назад

Awesome!!! not just Edf but the Pilot that make a big difference. l set reverse thrust on this, but not a good Jet for that. Work much better on 80 mm. 👍

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Exactly!

@ArthurRC Год назад

That’s a little bomb 🤩 cool for a 70mm and what skills…as usual….🤙🏻🥳

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

We both know you're the better pilot. ;)

@ArthurRC Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC No YOU 😅

@qqff3192 Год назад

You mention you were using at 637ta which comes from a bind n fly model. Did you need to update the firmware on the receiver or something to be able to use on different model ? I’m a noob to the whole programing spectrum receiver thing

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

We unlocked the 637TA and then reprogrammed it. Unlocking requires updating the firmware. Search "unlock AR637TA" and you'll see how SpektrumRC explains the process.

@dirkcornelis5708 Год назад

Nice flying, I fly mine without landing gear and handlaunch, we have no hard surface only grass at the club. Handlaunch can not be easier than with this plane, full power, nose 30 degrees up and go.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

If you were to fly with gear, we'd recommend using DuBro low-bounce wheels - that should make it possible to at least land with minimal or no damage.

@nirlachman007 Год назад

Ouh Jon, you’re making me spend more money 🙀🙀 Another great video

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

But it's worth it though! Please consider picking this model up via our vid description links - we work directly with Horizon now and it seriously helps us out at no cost to you. Thanks buddy!

@TimGoelzer1 Год назад

Just bought my 1st batch (4 - 5300 4S) to try in my F-22 & F-4 8S birds. Can’t wait to see the results. Been hearing great things about these batteries! What’s your opinion? I haven’t had a chance to try them yet. Out of town this weekend. So no flying for me 😢

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

SMC batteries? We love them. Absolutely stellar performance.

@josephpuzzo1 Год назад

Why did u change the Rx to a ar637t was that to get them custom flap mixes? I wonder if I can get them mixes with stock ar631

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

No, it was for the second antenna. We prefer having radio link security when flying at an airport. You could program flaperons into the 631 by unlocking it.

@josephpuzzo1 Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC thanks!

@shanehoule9477 Год назад

Awsum vid great work on camera your probably hard to film

@joegroves2517 Год назад

For a plane like this they're trying to provide an intro into bigger jets so the stabilator thing is about the price point and complexity. I feel like you're asking for it to be something it's designed not to be. Though maybe there's a technical hurdle they've just cleared considering the F-14 they've got coming out? That still costs a lot more for size and features.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

We're not saying it wouldn't add complexity - we're just saying that we prefer scale jets to have scale functionality. For what it is, it's an incredible performing model and we highly recommend it as a beginner's jet.

@Streetreaper89 5 месяцев назад

i have same plane and its top speed with the 5280 bluefire afterburner and max speed hit 61mph without the afterburner its 83mph. the diameter of the burner was larger than the motor and obstructed airflow. i put the burner into my 90mm no issues. 5280 didnt mention the massive loss of power including the fact i nearly crashed it on takeoff bc it took about 3x as much distance to lift off and that was not mentioned in the directions or papers from 5280. i find that worrysome bc anyone could use it including a beginner. great video great flight thats the easiest plane to fly and land that i own now. lolol check out some videos i fly thru a hallway with that same edf.

@TwoBrosRC 5 месяцев назад

We're not really concerned with speed, but good findings!

@Streetreaper89 5 месяцев назад

@TwoBrosRC im not worried about speed either. Its a lazy flyer and when its unable to do a power loop without diving for run up speed, i start looking at speed and numbers. And with that burner you be lucky to go vertical at all. 😆

I don't think it's going to fail on pavement. Grass, maybe, but highly unlikely on pavement.

Believe it or not pavement. It will collapse and grind the nose on the asphalt.

@Fatpumpumlovah2 6 месяцев назад

nothing like wanting it to scale version... exactly why i dont buy eflite f16... give me true tailerons with trailing edge flaps.

@johnthomas1348 Год назад

No better review of this model out there!! Great job Jon incorporating line of site, fpv and Tx view!! As you know, I have two now. I’m with you on the need for stabilators. That would be a great upgrade. The 1850 kv motor upgrade felt worth it to me. Along with the 80A esc makes for a nice package. The extra boost comes in handy when doing tail scrapping high alpha. I’ll follow suit on flaperon use to reduce take off roll out. Again, great content!!

@cchiozza Год назад

Can someone please explain the flaperon mod? I do not understand how to split the splitter? Thanks

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

You unhook the Y-cable and plug in each aileron to the ports the receiver calls for. Or if there's no Y-cable, you cut one of the leads and crimp on a new Y-connector. The info should be in the video.
