Hells are not bad airplanes are the best

[Ho88e5]

I cant wait to get flying now! Im new to the RC world and have been watching so many of these videos. Cant wait to finish my A10! ^w^

[TrixXxtaR]

Damn man! All these F-16's look soo twitchy compared other models!

[GTRwill4everLEAD]

bought mine yesterday and fucken crashed it today 43minutes ago =' (

damn elevators made me stall off hand launch

it uncontrollably banked to the right then headed straight for the fucking solid metal hand rails , smashing the cockpit canopy then off came the fucking rudder = ' ' (

missing a blade on the fan , soo shattered i am

"HUMAN ERROR" not the product

i could so crawl into a ball and cry right now , lolz joking

maybe 20 years ago

[GTRwill4everLEAD]

@GTRwill4everLEAD just as well i got a spare $240 to smash into another damn hand rail

i think ill get the f22 twin 64's

[Lamb00FGoD]

I would love to take this thing to afghanistan and do circles around some terorist

[Warrantofficer13]

Real F16 has an unstable air frame, most likely this one will be tough to land.

[Amanwarring830]

Add landing gear

[AryanAcepilot36]

How hard is it to fly it for the first time.

[elbosketube24]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo!!

[95hendrik]

what did s cost???

[icool247]

$139

[95hendrik]

cool here in germany its cost ca. 250 € ca.190$

[icool247]

i thinks it too much because theres no landing gear

[95hendrik]

yes it s right !!! but the rc plane is really cool XD

[hjlee6192]

dang... u would need very good vision to fly any planes... and how is this guy flying it w/ suglasses on too?

[protegejustin1999]

does this really go 70 mph

[gulmalik]

Thts the worst packed airplane i've even seen but it looks like a pretty sweet plane.

[SuperchargedS10]

I took some expadable foam isulation and filled the nose cone with that. Now I can smash the nose cone with my fingers and she just popps back out, no crackes or anything. You can not tell you ever smashed it. Works great. I also removed the foam behind the battery so a bigger battery will fit and balance correctly. She fly's great.

[thechoosendude]

Hey Dave, what's a better unit: this or the Exceed F-35?

Thanks!

[RcUniverseGuy]

exceed f-35

[AiRforCEbrat161]

the air in take looka a lot bigger than a real f 16

[YEE941]

that was bitchin

[lesnake001]

Hi Dave have you had the chance to review the L39 Albatros 64mm duct fan jet from G&C Hobby.

I recently got one and I'm wondering how to balance it .

very little info on the net for this model

one site says the C of G is at 48mm from the L.E. or 1.000 in and 15/16" is that close to what it should be?

Thanks for your appreciated reply

Jake

[Raymanz]

is this good for beginners

[jxdigital]

No not at all, you'd better get something like a multiplex easystar or glider. Also, bigger models are always better for beginners.

[batistaanimalbomb]

i no nothing about these planes and about all the techinal talk but i really love this plane nd it would be my first since its allready made 90% complete do u think it will be ok for me to do

[avi8tir]

anybody have any issues with the glue they provide with the model? it doesnt seem nearly strong enough. My plane has been drying for hours now and there is still play in the glued joints.

[2000S10V6]

I use Kwik bond 2 part epoxy on my jets. It dries in about 5 minutes but I usually let it sit an hour before flying just to be safe.

[noodles70]

Great flying for 1st time, i know nothing about these but the look like great fun, what's the flying time for a full charge on that one? Whats the max airspeed? And honestly, how hard are they to fly??

Looks like great fun!!

[frederic470]

if theres no rudder, how is it 4 channel? I count 3: throttle, elevator, aileron

[HangarX1]

Steerable Nose Wheel

[frederic470]

thats such a waste of a channel.... planes are meant to fly not to drive

[HangarX1]

It's good when you are taxiing along or want the plane to come to you because rudders only have an effect when hey are in an airstream. i.e. worthless. but up in the high speed winds, it's hard to keep in control without a rudder.

[frederic470]

thats my point, to fly better you need a rudder. why cant you have another servo plugged into the same channel, so both the rudder and wheel is functional? Its only maybe $5 worth of equipment, its only logical to do that.

[HangarX1]

Yeah, you're right. Anyway, dd I say Steerable nose wheel? The F-16 doesn't have LG. Sorry, it is 3 channel. I was talking about the F-35 when I said Steerable nose wheel. but I did put a rudder on the F-35.I put in one servo near the tail, used a double arm and hooked in the control horns, and set up the pushrods. Then I just connected the rudder servo to the SNW servo via Y-harness. it works great. they both move at the same time from one channel.

[frederic470]

yeah im going to do the same thing when i get my jet, i didnt decide on which one yet, leaning toward the eurofighter

[HangarX1]

I've found that it's easier if you do it on a double vertical stab plane. With a single stab, the plane can be unbalanced. I did it on my Sapac F-22 and and F-15. What's really fun is when you apply down elevator, left aileron and left rudder. Creates some nice flat spins.

[frederic470]

hmmm... i will consider this. The only thing really attracting me to the eurofighter is it comes with a functional rudder, ive never modded a plane before so im a bit nervous to do it

[HangarX1]

Yes, the Eurofighter is stock with a rudder, so no worries about being unbalanced. I was pretty nervous when i cut too because it was one of my favorite jets. What I'm trying now is putting one servo for each stab and getting them both to pull for airbrakes (on the f-22) and one to pull/one to push for rudder. Can't get it to work.

[frederic470]

well i wish you luck :)

If i actually get enough courage to cut into my plane. i want to mod it with retracts.

[HangarX1]

same here

[frederic470]

but then the front wheel wont turn, or will it? I havnt thought the concept through very well yet

[HangarX1]

they have special steerable nose wheel retracts. if you have ever seen nitroplanes and bananahobbies SR-71s, they have a steerable and retractable nose wheel. You can buy the steerable/retractable landing gear at nitroplanes. You just cut the hole, mount it, and cconnect a servo

[LTF85199]

no rudder control?

[Ispintechno1]

All these ducted fan foamies fly fast, but any fly nice and slow comfortably also?

[nitroplanes]

These Jets are made to fly fast. It is possible to fly it slow, but it won't be as comfortable as flying in high speeds

[HangarX1]

I'd try the Nitromodels F-22. It's smaller than the Sapac one, but if you kill the throttle it floats down like a parachute.

[revmkell]

Is there no FOD worries on the ducted fans?

Nice fly'n by the way.

[longerino]

very nice, which fly's better; the f-35, or this model?

[HangarX1]

F-35, LG make it easier to focus on flying the plane rather than tossing it and hoping to catch it when it comes down.

[jediknight73]

nice plane. to bad it has no wheels??

[airsoftboi909]
