HUGE F16 - Flying! 

Even I was nervous about this one! So, the question is... If you are handed the radio and asked to perform the setup and first flight... what would YOU do?!

Gorgeous plane and great shots. The only negative point of this video is that: the music is way to loud or the speech is way to silent.

All of the large scale pilots out there, take note of the first landing! That's how it's done... greased on like it should be. Well done sir!

is the wheel nose stuck? really spoils the look of this beautiful plane!

Very nice F-16 Thumb up nice flight Martin.

Now you need a pilot in the cockpit. I saw models with pilots who even had their own movements. Such a beautiful plane deserves it. Compliments.

Now put a 360 hd 4k camera in the cockpit and VR headset for controller

That's spectacular! I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood doesn't call you wanting to use that thing in a movie!

Great looking aircraft! Awesome audio on the video. Great flight demonstration!

wow, what an awesome package 😲😲 Great vid, great flight 👍😎

Second thought - she flies very scale. Most of jets and EDFs fly too fast to their scale.

Just Amazing. What a beautiful model and so well handled! Wish you the best!

Wow I would so love to see that 110 pound model airplane amazing

Not too shabby for a front line fighter jet which began the planning in 1969, and first flew in 1975 as the new F16.

Great jet. Cool video. Thanks for letting us participate at the extraordinary moment. It would be nice if some more data were mentioned about the model. _Best regards, Horst_ 😉👍

Sweet greasy landing! Outstanding!

Awesome video. Great jet.

wow! Congratulations. Fine effort.

Incredible airplane and amazing flying facility. Big thumbs up!

Absolutely amazing, better as original.

Modelling and flying at its best. You got balls to fly that mutha! !

Wow, actually looks like the real plane while flying. Ours really didn't, but it was only 20cm long and was really just a test for whether air multiplier systems would work as an engine for an rc. Made it look like an f16 because it had 1 engine

Looks like so much fun!

Enhorabuena Martin, saludos de Portugal ;)

Woah amazing! Super interesting video with lots of info. Thanks man! Subscribing

so smooth like the real one im shocked.

Don't know why they stop at 4m keep increasing the scale so we can climb inside. Beautiful!

You nailed that flight ! BadAss...

Both Landings were pretty decent but that first one was amazingly smooth

What a beauty!

Wow keep it coming , awesome jet

Great video! I can imagine the sensitivity of the controls is extreme, and this guys skills are amazing. When I was a kid, I got a model airplane, a P 51 I believe it was, that was controlled by a hand held device with two strings connected to the plane for elevation and descent. It had a little gas engine, and on my first flight I didn't even make one complete circle before I nose dived it into the ground at full speed. That was the end of my model airplane carreer.

That is awesome. .

take off and landing both are superb and perfect

Great Martin.

I have smaller Foam Freewing and Eflite F-16s. I set them up just normal. Separate aileron, elevator and rudder. Then do mixing of channels with switches. I want bigger of course 😊

Just a holy fucking why it's simply the greatest.

beautiful bird dude!

Really amazing and wonderful!! It flyes like a REAL F16. It does not seem to be an RC scale model, perhaps due to the important weight that it has. It's very stable, and very good maneuvered. Keep on improving it. Congratulations!!

One does not fly an F-16 without cranking their Walkman.

Beautiful jet, great flying.

That first landing was like a butterfly with sore feet. Good job.

3:08 was a cool shot!!!! (should put some GI Joe's out there for scale effect!!!)

You should put head tracker FPV in the cockpit... That would be awesome, put Autopilot & UHF radio too...

Very cool. Nice flying.

Elevator and flap mix ...yes.....Aileron and Tailerons mix....NO..!!!....ffs....No wonder it's a handful in the roll axis.

Hey !!! Terrific toy..... I wonder about the engineering work load in it. Congrats!!! LOOK: what about a movie with an on-board camera? Think about! . Regards. Nelson.

Very very cool!!

Nice plane mate good flying 🙂👍

looks like a real size. amazing

Just SUPERB!!!!!!

what a beautiful bird. gooooood flight.

You know how to fly! that for sure.

Excellent !

Great Flight! What was going on with the landing gear? It looked like the nose wheel never went up.

Hi, nice flying. Good one.

Am I mistaken or did the nose gear remain in the down position during all the flights? Viewed on a small smartphone screen, it is difficult to determine. Other than that, what a FANTASTIC aircraft and some excellent flying skills. CONGRATS!!

Right On, WOW! That is the best scale ever. Drones Ahoy!

seems this plane is perfect for transporting stuff from Mexico. When it is high enough it also looks like a real F16, would not make any cop stop short.

Awesome. So real!

’Ejeccion ‘ seat spelt incorrectly. Should be Ejection.

Beautiful aircraft. Maybe get a tripod or some stable camera the shots would be magnificent. Nice flight.

NOW thats what drones should look like,mini F-16's.

awesome !! tyvm

Man that is a thing of beauty. I've never seen anyone fly so slow and smooth like that with such a huge aircraft. Increases the realism tenfold! You need to master the side slip slide it was designed to do for real dog fighting. Also, does that have thrust vectoring? I didn't catch it if it does.

Awesome!!

Wow!! Thats awesome!

I hate that people use gyros on these big planes. They are more trouble than they are worth. One more point of failure. That plane don't need flaps to supplement the ailerons and delta tail control. It's too easy to roll the air frame to begin with. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. Glad the nose wheel stuck down though. It's also a tad nose heavy which is good for first flights of course. Not so much so as to be any problem either. I would work out the handling bugs first, then focus on CG. What a tremendously beautiful aircraft!! I loved my visit to this video and hope you get her dialed in very soon. As heavy as it is, you can use that to your advantage. Heavy wing loading means more stability in high winds. That goes with ALL aircraft.

I was told off recently for using aileron input in flap movement - adverse yaw etc etc. Maybe try keeping the flaps fixed when landing, might solve that wobble. From what you're saying about roll sensitivity it sounds like they don't need to be moving at all during normal flight either.

Wrong front wheel but very nice fight ;-)

Good job

beautiful flight, thanks for sharing.

Where was this video made? Looks like the Franklin mountains in the background (El Paso area)

Cool👍

First flights are always exciting. Usually a relief to get it on the ground. Makes the second flight great when everything worked OK.

What a beautiful model. It looks and flies really well! The only things I may nitpick on (and I've worked on the real thing for 10 years) if you want to strive for ultimate realism: -The outer portion of the wing trailing edges are fixed in real life (i.e no ailerons - just flaperons). -The flaperons do not assist in pitch control. -The flaperon flaps mode is triggered by landing-gear down operation. -The leading edge flaps (LEF) are also triggered by LDG-down and Angle of Attack (i get that putting AoA sensors on an RC jet is crazy). Of course, I understand that being an RC jet, it is probably unlikely to build the thing unstable (in terms of center of lift vs center of gravity) like the real deal, which probably accounts for the "semi-realistic" flight controls. However, it is technically possible to achieve. The F-16 Flight Control System is from the late 60's, and what used to take quadruple redundancy computers and lots of space in terms of circuitry can probably fit and run on an arduino uno today. Yeah yeah "You try to do better", I get it :) It's not ment to bash the product, just shed light on possible improvements :) One of my all-time favorite RC models is the Rusjet yak-130. Check it out if you haven't already!

Show! Very, Very, Very good. Congratulations.... Aquerman - Brasil.

Nice Landing!

Worthy!!

awesome!!

hey guys you forgot the lower tail ventrals OOPS

Except for the tail you got something ther with that paint job. Needs serious consideration for the Thunderbirds.

Nice bird sweet barrel roll...but can you hit a few quarter-rolls next flight...thanks

Martin, good job flying as always. I bumped you up to the top of my list (a long time ago) as the man to break in any of my future maiden rc jets, just got to figure how I can get your ticket and accommodations *$miles*. Thanks for sharing!

I noticed that you don't see spectrum radio equipment in these high dollar aircraft

When I saw 400cm I thought wtf?!?!? Jets for midgets LOL

Sir please tell me how you have made it ?????

Design must look like a good and crazy

Beautiful carftment

Nice 1st landing dude, really greased it.

I am building a missile to defend my model airport!

First off. Way cool! Now install a video camera with some serious stabilizer software and I'm going after my Hippie neighbors cats! Damn those cats! "Maverick 1 to Bulldog 7, we have Fluffy Cakes in our sites. You are cleared to engage..."

The click bait photo is a image that says 400cm. Well 400 centimeters = 157.48 inches or 13.12 feet. In no way is this thing even close to that. This is a beautiful RC and very well done. In no way is it even close to 400cm. That is a outright lie and for that reason this video deserves thumbs down. If the poster of this video wants to give us the real length I'll be happy to change my rating.

Its almost the real thing. And, he flying this plane like a pro. Perfect touch down, btw.

Wow better than the original f16

low angle camera in the intro had me thinking it was the size of a car. I was like... NOW THATS IMPRESSIVE! then it cut to a wideshot... ok normal big RC.

Appericiate the effort of you promoting this fabulous Hobby .

amazing!!

this is not 4 meters at all. is more like a 8 feet or the size of a surf funboard

one of the most beautiful runways for an RC craft. if only the camera work was a bit steadier, shot lower to ground with the craft zoomed to true to life proportions.
