Brian, I came just to check out the plane and I ended up with a well of information that will save me from wrecking a few planes. . Luckily I dont have to fly with an eagle killing zone. I would not last two minutes in your field. You are a professional flyer hands down. Camera crew is the secret sauce to enjoying the videos without a headache.

Literally watching this while driving in a light snowstorm in Jersey lol and I appreciate the time that you AND the 'camera crew' put in, vid after vid, rc after rc. I've been a short time subscriber and have since purchased a couple edf's from HH (w/o using any links). I'm saving this video to use your link to purchase this f16, for sure, when I'm ready-most likely right before summer hits. You guys are awesome...keep up the great work!

@mikepi660 Год назад

Thanks BRIAN,,,, your super,,, in trouble shooting also,,, I did NOT expect them to put extra connectors in that were between other connectors,,, ie the wing,,,, I rather have to connect a connector myself to a wing, then just slide it in, then have ANOTHER one hidden in the wing, as this one did,,, I thank you for showing me how these are assembled, AND that a tester can show current draw under load on a servo tester,,, I shall buy a new one also,,,, Well, the LESS connections, things in the control circuits the BETTER I SAY!!!! Less to go WRONG, FAIL!!!!! Oh, that the misses, camera crew, she is great,,,,

Oh man what a beautiful jet!! And I hear ya on setting the AS3X gains! It’s tough finding the right gain number, but great video! I think watching your landings is awesome, because you talk through it and give great pointers on what the jet or plane does as your coming in to land. So keep doing the landings :)

@laserbrad Год назад

I love the honesty you always bring. I’m the same skill level you’re at and I CAN fly stuff like this but it’s work. I like to fly relaxed and have the ability to STOL so there would be a lot of other planes I’d rather have before this one but what a BEAST she is on 6s. I’ve bought the T-28 1.2 and P-51 1.2 because of your videos. Keep ‘em coming!!

@alwaysflying6540 6 месяцев назад

I fly one of these and it lands at crawling speed lol. Its a very easy jet for anyone with edf experience. Balance and setup is critical. Also dont set flaperons setup spoilerons. You want to raise the ailerons on the model creating a washout in the wingtips

@BrianPhillipsRC 6 месяцев назад

I admittedly had a hard time with this one, since we had a PD sample that was setup all weird, and we didn't have great luck getting it all configured. Hope we haven't soured your thoughts of this plane.

@insurancemann1 Год назад

Awesome educational video Brian. You taught us a lot today! Glad you caught that loose connector and avoided possible trouble. I'm going to skip the tailerons. I think flaperons will do well. Looking forward to the next videos, maybe this repair will fix the wobble.

I have played around with the gains isolating each axis. As a start change the yaw gain to the same as roll. A high gain on yaw axis can cause the waggle. The pitch axis seems to be the least sensitive. Great trouble shooting

If you want the Afterburner Ring, here's the link Afterburner Ring bit.ly/3DHPbwU , but just keep in mind, we didn't have the channel to control it on our Rx...so when you watch future videos, if we can figure out how to use it without giving up something we want more, we'll share.

@DetoursRC Год назад

Glad they painted the white. Not a fan of the bare foam on the 70mm. My june nite has those a330 mg servos and they have been great soo far. I was kinda bummed when I found out my a10 64mm has all plastic gear servos except those nose. A plane as expensive and awesome as the a10 should have metal geared servos imo.

@roedere Год назад

You’ve now got an excuse to give camera crew to get your special tool now! Always get the switch tighten tool! 👍

@Ultimatevr123 Год назад

Brian, I fly a 70mm viper jet and an 80mm bae hawk. I just purchased this thunderbirds jet, I installed a spektrum 6 channel without safe. So I’m limited to either having flaperons or thrust reverse. Will this plane have to land much faster without flaps? Should I trade the reverse thrust for the flaperons? Is this jet going to be way different than those two airframes? Referring to stall speed, landing speed etc? I’m very good at flying the other two jets.

@scottmccluskey8055 Год назад

Hi Brian, do you have any idea why I can’t access AU4 on a DX9? Programmed tailerons on the BNF version, using a SW for the for reverse thrust. Used us all 8 channels but can’t work out why I can’t use the 9th? Cheers

@davidgerlach1132 Год назад

Love this video, as always very informative. For this version, 80mm although it's more scale, the 70mm looks like much more fun and maneuverable to fly. My question, though since you like the Eflight 80mm Falcon, which do you prefer, the F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm or thew F-16 Falcon 80mm?

@MegaRickw Год назад

great video BUT(lol),would have loved to see the stock bnf version from the factory,again great job from both of you

@ojeezrc Год назад

Nice jet ! Great flight 💪 can I use the rtf transmitter that comes with the habu to use on these BNF ? Would it still work the same ?

@wash-rc Год назад

This is simply a GREAT plane. Have one. No changes on setup and flies great. BUT, dont fly off grass. On takeoff the front wheel collapsed. Its a pavement only. I have just fixed it as has to replace front gear. The single screw that holds it to the retract broke and caused me a few hours work to replace. Love the scale way it flies. Amazing. Thanks for review. Question: u seem to have much more turn authority on the ground than mine. Did u change anything?

@BrianPhillipsRC Год назад

You would need to watch our Unbox, Build, and Radio Setup video and compare notes. I'm not sure how yours is setup, but ours was not setup the way we wanted it to be setup.....we got an early sample, but this particular sample had been goofed with a bunch, and we got this BEFORE the manual was printed...soooo we didn't maybe get it as good as we wanted it. This is one of the only planes where I didn't feel like we got it right, as a result. We do things slightly different than the factory, on most planes...mostly rates and expo, but this one we really had to stretch to make it work...and we didn't get it as RIGHT as I wanted it...it DID work, but out of box, BNF would have been pretty good over ours. We're about to unbox our NX10, and I wonder if this plane would be a GREAT one to debut it with??? I guess we'll have to take a bit and think that over...but thanks for planting the seed ;)

@jeffbrundt7740 Год назад

Finally. I figured tailerons were gonna be too much roll. Probably why HH abandoned it. How are flight times on 6200's? Usual 3.5 min?

@AL-RCjunkie Год назад

Do you think the "Camera crew" would approve of a carrier style catapult/landing platform setup off of the back deck? Talk about a TopGun experience 😂 It'd be like a fixed aircraft carrier that launches into the "bowl". Without hoofing it out to the road and watching for cars etc. I mean, it's not like you don't have the jet stock to justify something as cool as that 👍

@partone709 Год назад

Wow it must be a biggun,, first of your videos I've watched not filmed on your front driveway, great video folks. Do you ever fly at a local rc club?

@EDF_FANatic Год назад

What gyro settings did you end up going with?

@bikeguy3034 Год назад

Not sure if 'Taileron' is an RC term?...but IRL they are called Elevons (Elevator/Aileron) and the model also used Flaperons - so Flaps/Ailerons. :)

@brianbrotherson5529 Год назад

It’s an elevon if it’s on the trailing edge of the wing, (delta wing). it’s a taileron if it’s on the tail (horizontal stabilizer) Both do pitch and roll but they have different names on different wing configurations.

@ELABOGADOMALO 5 месяцев назад

Please, would you can tell me, How you torn reverse the turbine?

@lw216316 Год назад

I have the 70mm Thunderbird with no flaps. It lands easily in 1/2 of our 400' runway using a nose up landing. So I thought I would like a larger version. But after watching this video I am not so sure. From what I can see this 80mm does not have 'normal' flaps and it would need flaperons and / or reverse thrust in order to land on 400'. This 80mm seems a bit complex and I prefer simple. Then there is the $600 cost - way more expensive than my 70mm. I do lots of aerobatics with my 70mm - not so sure about this 80mm? What do you think ?

@oncemore7116 Год назад

70MM flies so good and easy because power to weight is much higher on 70MM. have both. 80MM much less forgiving. 80MM wins on looks!

@paulrkytek6587 Год назад

why not just use tailerons , forget the flaperons that way you keep the amount of elevator movement you like, just use flaps but perhaps only half flaps on landing may be enough ? 5000mah seems the way to go. Gyro on tailerons and rudder ? Will the main wing not be more stable on landing if you do not have flaperons? or was it just dancing around because of the duff wing servo connection.? No doubt the next flights will reveal all !!!

They've since been shipped off to another place :(.... As for the build quality, and overall rc amazingness - they're both good, but I think the F-16 is better, and more conventional flying plane. I enjoy flying it more.

This looks amazing but I'm upgrading from high wing prop plane . Ready for a jet , this or the Habu 3s ?

@markmcc21 Год назад

Did u actually put this in the same basket as a habu 3s?! 😆

@myksanchez1222 Год назад

You're a long way from an F16 dude...

@bg2176 Год назад

The 70mm Habu is probably a good bet and as you progress it’s still a blast with a few light mods like carving out some foam for elevator travel and adjusting the linkages I get mine to do rolling harriers with the gear off on the stock power set up running 6s 3300 all the way back. I upgraded the edf to an x fly galaxy and it is even more fun over 1 to 1 thrust to weight. Flys like a trainer hard to stall easy to land.

I had it paused and I hit play again and it was right at the beginning of you saying I'm gonna get you addicted and my wife looked at me and listened for the whole 12 seconds of you saying the addicted to planes part she thought you meant drugs LMAO

@Jack-gy7cs Год назад

Haha, this plane is going to Brian Phillips so let's leave this connector loose and see if he crashes or fixes it. For $600 I expect more, and not just because of the loose connector.

@Archon-Luke Год назад

Why?? I have the old 80mm in the box still. lol.

@keitha.9788 Год назад

Too bad they didn't make it with a slightly larger wingspan. The takeoff and landings would be shorter. They should have moved the landing gear out more to make it more stable during ground roll.

@jamesholden6142 Год назад

Its scale and would look funny with larger wings and wider gear. Get a sport jet

@juniorwest5706 Год назад

Beautiful jet ,but way too fast for me 🥺👍

@paulballard4243 Год назад

I have the 70mm and don’t fly it because I can’t see it. This is the 80mm repopped as a Thunderbird. I LOVE the F-16 but I’ll pass. There are many Motion RC/Freewing/Flightline planes I’d rather have. Bitco Hobby has some awesome planes too I’d rather have first

Shame that you had to make mods out of the box. Not a cheap plane either

@lonezombieheart7808 Год назад

Its a bad habit that all you yt pilots mean: "what 100% travel? my pro pilot skills need 5000% travel"

Why wouldn’t you put the AS3X gains onto a knob so you can adjust in flight to get rid of the oscillation?

Make shorter videos so your views shoot up!youtube pumps shorter vids more

@BrianPhillipsRC Год назад

We agree this tactic would work, but we want to do right by our audience, and so much of them ask for the full length. I think if we did short "entertainment" style videos, we'd just be copying what Horizon Hobby does - not that their stuff isn't good - IT IS - but we want to show when their planes DON'T work good too ;) I want to start making some shorter content, but I would have to do voice overs for the content to make it any good, since I'm always blathering about things through the whole thing. I know some find it super annoying, but others really enjoy and need the support when they're newer pilots. It's hard to get help when you're new.

@AR-1996 Год назад

@@BrianPhillipsRC i love the long videos as well but i think most people dont have 1hr plus to watch through a video. I would think shorter videos would get more views but thats just my opinion either way im a big fan of the content since im just getting into the hobby and im trying to absorb as much knowledge as i can.
