I LOVE this jet. Had mine grounded for over a year after the front retract failed off grass. Replaced the whole front assembly with a 70mm acanti gear fixed in with cotton and thin ca. The nose gears indestructible now . She flew awesomely with the agfrc servos you recommended.
Hi, there. Love your channel. Just getting back into RC aircraft after 15 years out. Was thinking of this as a first EDF jet after my P47. I fly off of really flat astroturf, can I ask, do you think this would be a good choice for me? Back in the day I flew everything, warbirds, sport planes, helis, even a very old T33 ducted fan
We'd definitely *not* recommend this as a first-time jet. It requires a good bit of experience that a pilot accustomed to flying warbirds won't intuitively have. Join us on Discord via bit.ly/TBRCDiscord and we can help guide you.
Great video as usual!!! I watch all your videos and have been since the beginning! Your landing tutorials are absolutely my favorites, if you can incorporate how to judge your approach speeds and altitude on decent it would be greatly appreciated!!! Keep up the great work! Look forward to each and every video you put out, thanks Robert
I have the 5000 6s pack all the way back and still cant get mine to flatspin. On the f22 its so much easier. On the f16 it just kindof twirls down towards the side commanding aileron input instead of the flat spin.
Jon could you pass me in the right direction to one of your vids that shows how to do the mix where the gyro gains go up and down with throttle please. Cheers. Mark 🇬🇧
I think 6:46 was an unexpected "flash stall" and you came out of it nicely. May I ask, aside from the larger EDF and size, what are the primary differences between the E-flight F-16 70mm and 80mm? I'm planning on getting one or the other to accompany my Viper 90mm.
It was definitely an accelerated stall - the G load was 1.5 Gs at too low of an airspeed to sustain it. The 70mm vs 80mm was covered a while back - you'll probably find this interesting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VYa52bnoE8s.html
If you're planning to do beginner to intermediate flying, you should stick with the stock servos. If you want to push it, we'd recommend using tinyurl.com/B13DLM servos.
