Here is my full assembly and flight review of the E-flite F-16 Falcon 80mm EDF. I'm really impressed with this model as it looks great and flies awesome! The model has some really nice features including full metal scale landing gear and weapons/stores and the finish is nice and smooth. I've flown the model 6s 5000mah packs all the way up to 6s 7000mah and it handles all of them well. I did find the recommended CG a bit forward for my liking and I also experimented with flaperons which I talk through as well. Oh, and I might have purchased a second one looking to make an F-16XL...all in due time. :) Full article at thercgeek.com/EFF16 #TheRCGeek #F16Falcon #Awesome

@@Thercgeek Hi Chris--I bought an AR8360T 8-ch AS3X receiver to put into this BNF (saving the stock RX for another project) so I can put complete flaperons and tailerons on this model and have AS3X operate better in turbulence than your experience. What are your thoughts on this and for what I have in mind with the RX?
@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek 3 года назад
I think the airplane will do well with a more full house control system. It does great stock, but if you want to really take advantage of the flaperons, it does need the tailerons to help augment the roll rate loss you get. A friend of mine did this on his freewing f16 and it worked really well.

What an awesome looking & sounding viper! Lighting up the burners and going vertical looks like the real thing. Your nose high landings are very impressive, Chris. Only wonder if one can hold the nose high post touch down for aerodynamic breaking like the real ones so often do. If a manufacturer ever figures out where to position the main gears appropriately to allow that would be amazing.
@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek 3 года назад
It will do it somewhat, but not for a super long time. The gear are pretty much in the scale location and the landing speeds are such that the elevators don’t generate sufficient down force at slow speeds to really hold the nose up for a long time as it slows down.
@motionsic
@motionsic 3 года назад
The RC Geek Yeah. That make sense. Also since we use more forward CG for RC models for static stability vs the real Vipers relaxed stability CG.
@memcrew1

@@motionsic you can enable the ESC on the F16 to reverse, allowing for thrust reversing. I’m not sure how well it would work on this particular model(cheater holes)
@txkflier
@txkflier 3 года назад
The ESC was upside down in yours too! When I put mine together, I thought it was odd that the aluminum heat sink was facing up instead of toward the air duct. On the maiden flight of mine in the 90 degree Texas heat, the motor shut off a minute or two into the flight and I had to make a quick landing. I didn't have the telemetry set up for the maiden, but I did set it up before the second flight so that I could see what was going on. And sure enough, the FET temperature hit 225°F. The ESC is designed to shut the motor off at 110°C which s 230°F. I pulled the fan unit out, lifted the back end of the clear ESC/wiring cover just enough to flip the ESC over, glued the cover back down with contact cement, and reinstalled the fan unit. Now it doesn't go over 200°F. Another thing I did after the maiden was update the firmware in the AR637TA, reset it to wipe out the factory settings, and reprogram the AS3X/SAFE settings to my liking. After a couple more flights, I moved the aileron linkages out to the last hole in the servo arms. It's flying great now except that it was nose heavy today. I'll start moving the battery back on future flights.
@ABModsBlevinsTuning
@ABModsBlevinsTuning 2 года назад
Mine came this way too which i thought was odd as the heat sink you would think would obviously be getting the air blown over it to cool it! I just got back from the field and it got to 220 and started pulling power back! I backed off throttle and landed it quickly. And i was just cruising around 50-70% throttle when it got that hot as well! Im going to pull the EDF out and turn it over and i hope this cures my issues. I also turned the motor timing to 5 degrees from 15 it was set at from the factory.

@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek 2 года назад
I do think if you are proficient with the 70, you can step up to this one. The key difference is that this one flies heavier than the 70, so the takeoff and landing speeds will be faster. Otherwise, it flies very much the same with the cg further back as recommended in my vid.

@@ThercgeekOh yea... seen a fair number of people on Forums and some YT videos having issues. If you get enough torque on a stab the peg (servo side) and slot (stab side) will seperated and well, on good stab,.,one flapping in the wind. Dirt nap for sure. Seen a couple guys have it fall in full throttle dives. Although...dunno why they are full throttle in a dive LOL. I had a pretty aggressive high speed snap roll, not two mistakes high...or even one. Showing off for my girl...doh! The gods of aviation smiled on me and she just belly flopped in the dirt. It did help to get me started taking the missiles off the fuselage like you did lol. Blue Angles don't fly with stores.😋. Eflite just painted the gray Marines on in Blue Angles livery...right. Pretty smart. I'm going to basically extend the peg with a ball joint so it can't pop out again. Seems a few videos of guys doing just that. I suspect that's why the design team at Eflite didn't do the same on the new F16. Was a good idea but..a widow maker for sure. I wasn't very thrilled with that model anyway. She did fly well...clean. but, it's an F18. Banking with full flaps, like base to final, with those huge gear hanging like an eagle fishing...banked like a stuck pig. Lots of rudder. And landing... flying with a 6000mah cause 4000 flight time were so low. Really have to keep speed up on approach. Just seems counterintuitive. Carrier based plane with flaps and need more landing speed what the F16 tbird. Then again, the tbird is so light and couldn't get bigger than 4000mah in it. The tbird was my first EDF and I think it spoiled me. She's such a light girl. So agile and very throttle responsive. I love to come in crawling with a high alpha approach and then goose that throttle just before touchdown. Like a simulated flair..lol. I was thinking about painting the Tbird this summer. Use it as a practice piece. But, Eflite came out with the beautiful new 80mm with the amazingly detailed gear...makes all the different IMHO. Guess I'll redo the F18 now since it needs some fixing.

@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek Год назад
Thanks for you kind encouragement! There is a workaround that would allow you to setup the burner with the throttle but it ends up nuking the telemetry. In your channel assignments, swap the channel assignments between channels 1 and 2 such that your throttle channel is now assigned to channel 2 with your esc plugged into ch 2. That will default the esc into pwm mode which will allow you to use the burner with a yharness. I am actually working on a new design that will be compatible with smart in the future such that you won’t lose telemetry and can connect it via a yharness without any mods, but don’t have an eta on that just yet. Been a long road, but I think We’re finally getting close on it.

Sorry for the late response, just saw this comment. It really depends on your experience and proficiency. A proficient pilot with some high performance aircraft experience could probably jump into the 80mm F-16 ok. However, the 70mm version is a bit lighter and a bit more forgiving than the 80mm and would be better suite if someone had a bit less proficiency.

Ok, so on the afterburner you wyed in from ch 6 which eflite has the aux BEC tied into that channel. on the receiver was their anything you have to do in the transmitter to get this to work ? And can’t you wye in from ch 1 with the throttle?
@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek 2 года назад
On the transmitter, you have to assign channel 6 as throttle so that the burner operates with the throttle. Unfortunately using a y harness on throttle won’t work because of the smart telemetry. The controller is designed to read a pwm input, however when the smart telemetry is active, the communication type changes from pwm to srxl2 which the burner controller doesn’t know how to interpret. Setting it up on a separate channel is the work around. I’m working on a new design that will hopefully resolve srxl2 issue, but is a while off yet before it’ll be ready.

Hey Chris! Thanks for the great video. Can you please explain a little bit more about the differential and how do you use it with the flaperons?
@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek 2 года назад
When the ailerons are cambered downward, they aren’t as effective at generating a roll and adding more camber isn’t as effective at as reducing the camber is when trying to roll. So, to try and make up the difference, I set it up to get more upward aileron movement than downward movement. It works ok, but ultimately the best way to accomplish this is to add in tailerons as well like I did here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MMZr3tqOgfI.html this provides no loss in roll control when using flaperons.

Chris how much rollout do you need to get her up. I assume you are basically just punching it and allowing it to do most lifting. I’m really challenged with a 100 ft runway lol. I’m newer to edfs. It’s hard to get my head wrapped around flaperons. Seems to me the flaperons would give it lift but at slow speed setting up for a stall? What’s the error in my thinking? Thanks
@Thercgeek
@Thercgeek 2 года назад
I’m flying the airplane from a 300ft strip and it does well. It takes off in about 150ft and then usual uses the whole runway on the landing roll. I don’t think 100ft is enough. The full flaperon/taileron setup works really well (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MMZr3tqOgfI.html) on this model. Being a low aspect ratio wing, it doesn’t stall like a traditional aircraft, so you can really push the nose up and slow it down and it won’t roll off like other aircraft will.

Hey Chris, have you considered trying the thrust reverse in this one? With the same Avian ESC as Draco, could in theory setup motor reverse for after landing. Dunno how well it would work with the EDF fan blade and cheater holes but....this thing does roll for ever lol. Could help on short fields😋. She is beautiful and assembly is crazy easy. And yea..no terrible F18 stabs design. Got Callie sending me tail art for Luke AFB 56th FW. Hometown base training flight crews and pilots from 28 nations west of Phoenix. F35 training base too.

Fellow Geeksters...take his advise and back up the CG. You will love it! Felt heavy and sluggish on landings getting this nose up. Light and agile now and greasing the landings! Goes max throws too! Recommend are terrible. Why does it always seem recommended CGs are always bad? Also... this plane has the same ESC as the Draco. Know what that means? Reverse thrust! It's hilarious and not extremely efficient but..it does help! Now... you may need an ESC programmer or you can download the programming guide to use the xmitter to change ESC settings. Motor reverse isn't active on the F16 like the Draco as in recall. But, once you activate it... just follow the steps in the Draco manual and set it to a switch! Hit that switch after landings and go full throttle and she'll come to a decent stop. She'll even reverse. Thrust comes right outta the cheaters, top and bottom, much like a commercial jets. Kinda like the 737 Supermax. This bird does roll for ever and it could be the difference from rolling off a runway or..,into a concrete curb in a parking lot! Also.., you'll get some laughs and heads turning at the field. I dig it! F16s wingtip so easily! It'll save you taxi back time but cost you some battery/flight time. Cheers!

It’s all relative to the amount of full throttle useage. Cruising should be around halfish throttle or less if possible and full throttle reserved for high performance maneuvers. My timer is set at 3:30 minutes and I use that as an indicator to think about setting up for landing. I’m typically on the ground at around the 4:30 mark and the cells are showing around 3.76-3.78v/cell.

Anyone else getting high frame loss and ever short holds between xmitter and receiver? I added a remote receiver but... going to try this as well! Amazon has Farrite beads..cheap! Get like 10-20 of different sizes for under $10. The ESC cable sites right next to the receiver! Power cables give off electromagnetic fields! Not good when $500+ is heading towards the ground! I noticed that Eflite added a ferrite bead to the 70mm tbird F16! I initially had all kinds of frames drops and holds because the ESC to Battery connection sat right next to the receiver. On that one, I got an extension cable and turned to batter 180 degrees and frame drops dropped considerably. Someone came to the field with a new tbird and E-flite had added a ferrite bead to ESC cable! I added one and now... never get holds and most flights have less than 100 frame drops. I'm going 5o keep the remote receiver...under the vertical stab but I'm adding a ferrite bead where the cable runs past the receiver. I have a feeling this is a leading cause for radio issues but people just don't realize it. FLOG was showing I was pulling in excess of 140 amps during takeoff and first bank and that is exactly when I was getting a short hold. All kinds of interference exactly when you don't want it! Curious to see if I'm on the right path. After all... people at Eflite added the ferrite bead for a reason! 😄
