Hi, can anyone tell me how to setup this jet?? I have a Spektrum DX6i and I have spent hours trying to get the mixing sorted and the vector on a switch, I can't do it, it is driving me crazy!! I have searched the internet for hours too, no instructional videos anywhere. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks.
Have bought heaps through BH and always have excellent service!!! Thank you for your excellent turn around and really good delivery time to Sydney, Australia. Keep up the great work and thoroughly enjoy your vids as well.
i just wondering if i purchase a F-16 Falcon 360 Degree Thrust Vector JET Flightdo i have to install the engine and cable etc? or does it come with fully install???
Why do people always turn comments into a battleground? Who cares about whats scale and realistic and what country people are from, what matters is we all like flying stuff or at least watching somone else do it.
I got one of these and I love it. It is hard as hell to fly with the vectoring on though, best turn it off when you get low altitude. I love how it can stop in place and do tumbles, only thrust vectoring can do that stuff!!
PLEASE HELP. How did you get the elevator and ailerons to work as 2 different axises? I cant get my elevator to work, only the roll action (Elevator and ailerons doing the same thing at once).
@ShayAxelod22 I ordered bananahobbys flagship A10 with everything and the lady online said 3000 yards.. 1.7miles.. I was flying realflight on the PC and I couldn't see the plane when it got 500ft away.. I think if u want to do UAVing u need a nitro plane

Their business (not only BH) practice is a kind of dumping acitivities in which what they focus is quantity not quality cos these re with cheap prices and hence narrow dumping profit margin they hv. Thats why on the one hand they keeps up launching new products to sustain their business running, on the other hand they've been attempting to balance customers interest so as not to loose their own interest...

got my F-16 put together, again with no help from the instruction. They suck. on first attempt to fly the ducted fan sucked in small small sand or gravel from the surface as the landing gear doors are wide open. ordered a new fan blade for $8 and $11 shipping..OUCH! contacted them about shipping price and got a genaric e-mail back from them. the whole plane was only $16 to ship. What gives Pete? $11 to ship a lightweight fan blade? come on
Hi everyone, Plz help, just got this Aircraft as a PNP version, installed my Rxand connected all the servo's and the ESCin the throttle Ch and UBEC in the Batt Ch. all servos work apart from the motor, all it does when I put my Lipo on is 2 beeps with a long pause the 1 more beep, thats it. it dont even turn, any ideas?
Equipment used:
Stock servo's all round (Already fitted)
45A ESC with 5A UBEC (Already fitted)
4100kv Brushless motor (Already fitted and connected to ESC)
for the price this is one hell of a plane i don't see why everyone is bitching it is only $100 plane not a $400 and up the parts aren't the best but the work fine on mine
the only reason i love these vids and am subbed is because of pete's great flying skills. not bananahobby's shiity products. great flying by pilot. shitty manufacturing job by company.
the only reason i lo0ve these vids and am subbed is because of pete's great flying skills. not bananahobby's shiity products. great flying by pilot. shitty manufacturing job by company.
if you buy it with the 6 ch tranciever option is it already setup for the thrust vectoring and are they all wired seperatly? or would you have to buy something extra?
where is the CG. I have crashed the plane several times because I cant get it right. Also did you have problems getting it to do a smooth loop. It was flying heavy and wanted to stall in a loop rather than make a nice circle. The CG is currently sitting far forward. Do you have any recommendations on a replacement fan and motor (my fan exploded on one of the hard landings)?
Hi all - just so you know, Pete always says that his planes are made by Blitz RC Works. There is no such company. Pete gets most of his planes from companies in China called Starmax Technology Industry Limited and Huayu Hobby. You can visit thier websites hawkwere.com huayu - hobby.com Just so you know where they really come from. Why doesn't Pete just tell the truth about where the planes really come from and who makes them?

If you buy it, try not to crash it. If your experience with Banana Hobby's support is anything like mine, they will never return your email. Seems like Pete is only interested in selling stuff, and not interested in the "lifetime, professional support" he promised.
very hot...what motor did you put in it? i can hear its not a stock. Hacker?? maybe? Ive seen this one as a new one Starmax is making. I will be ordering this one but sorry not from Banana Hobby. I have no trust in BH. Just to many bad things about them in the forums. But a beautiful EDF.....best of luck to ya.
Beautiful Starmax F-16, but like all starmax edf's the stock electronics are bad and I dont believe thats the stock motor at all. Sounds and flys like a hot 4800kv motor. Im going to be doing a build and vid on this one soon and mine wont be the stock setup or from BH.
They have nice vids, but i dont trust em anymore. Bought a EF-2000 Eurofighter, and it took them a month to get it to me. And i spent hours trying to contact them. I finally got it after contacting the BBB (Re: Complaint #98415445 - Banana Hobby) They promised me an upgraded version of the eurofighter. I received the plane but the radio i got with it i think was made in China. The thing has a mind of its on=plane crash. Which i will be posting up a video asking for suggestions on fixing it.
@EMPrcRacing LX models F-22 raptor Single EDF (there is also a twin but it's too large and expensive) It flies like a trainer.. it was not just my first edf.. it was my FIRST plane ever..
@EMPrcRacing bananahobby or flying-hobby. personally I got the RTF from BH and now I got a kit from Flying-hobby because It flies so well I wanted to build another one with my own power mods in it..
@thechoosendude exploding, guided missiles and drop tanks full of av gas will MOST DEFINITELY CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JET. just ask the atf, fbi, homeland security
Great looking F-16 but shame about that paint job,so glad you have other great colours and your flying skills are spot on Pete ;-) any chance you popping over to the UK to give me a few pointers,if so bring that bad boy you and i'll buy one LOL,going to have to check out what the cost would be to have one shipped ;-) thumbs up.
very nice plane looks good good performance and thAT YOU CAN SELECT THE PAYLOAD IS VERY NICE great job the only downside is that it haven't got retracts as the jet has that i would be the perfect small edf jet
