F-104 Starfighter 70mm EDF RC Jet Flight Review!

[008win]

Not stable in flights with not much wing spans :( ?

[drone19730602]

Hi Pete...just found what seems to be an old video that you might have done some time ago.

Any idea if there are any plans to get this model back in circulation again or for sale?

[koolaidra69]

how many flights dose it take to get flames to shoot out? lets find out! one... two.... BAM!!!!

[whatnameainttakn]

That thing rolls like a bullet coming out of a barrel.

[101506jmiller]

Holy shit!!! It's the nerd king from the Burger Hole! Selling worthless Chinese junk. Don't buy anything from these assholes. Total scam. Their shit will last about 1.5 flights before it breaks. And then all you'll have is a fucking pile of foam and a bill for $300. Shrimp fried rice!!!!

[zoopi]

Banana Hobbies totally sucks..........do not buy from them their customer service is non existent. They will mess you up totally.just check all their BAD reviews! Don't be like me and get lulled in with their low prices. Manufacturers will not even list them as a place you can purchase their goods from!

[hhhhhhhwc]

Nice! Good job! Thank you!

[badcoairsoft11]

truley the rocket with wings :P

[erictuan1]

wow This is like the first video you dont have a hat on pete?

[vasdotnet]

Chinese scum with urs chiness whore girl friend ! Why did you deceive people??

[toolbaggers]

@vasdotnet hey honky, he's american

[vasdotnet]

@toolbaggers ofcourse , like u

keep dreaming about USA

LOL

[canamwing]

@vasdotnet Thats not nice...

[koreanman963]

Hey Pete i"ve heard stuff on youtube saying that banana hobby is a ripoff and they dont give u the stuff that is suppost to come with.

Like it does"nt come with a wing or something and i was wondering if thats true?

[RcTinCan]

@magickbear Yea the song from the artist sucks, But switchfoot has some great music

[HansThunderbolt]

"hefty 70mm beefy EDF" ....LOL....

[nighthawk0077]

nice scale rolls..lol..i dunno looks a bit twitchy there

[lin350gg]

dam your getting bald

[lbart2005]

I was just wondering how this beast can be considered a beginner airplane.

[HangarX1]

I know that your supposed to call planes "she" but seriously, this ones more like an "it"

Fast though.

[wickedinsight]

pretty ugly, would not bother with it

[canals22]

Ugliest 104' I ever saw...

good piloting thou...

[LTF85199]

beautiful guys, just gorgeous, beautiful ...... :)

[Ihatechinesepeople1]

omfg your so ugly

[photobart1]

Surprise this company is still in business. Banana Hobby can not be trusted. Best to stay away from this company. Products and customer service are of poor quality.

[pavcon]

@photobart1 I had no probs.. I think they are improving..

[DanielMadrigalC]

es rapido pero esta feisimo

[onemassiveattack]

3:03 , no the intakes are not scale lol! Looks sweet though, I wonder if it would hand launch as the gear just wrecks the looks : ( plus I have no run way

[bendie59]

well my experience is bananahobby has very poor customer relations, once they got your money they don't want to know you, the girls they got working there are like tits on bull useless. and there produce stinks

[Jaliya48]

Wow! Cool bird. The intakes look a bit big, but I suppose its for the powerplant.

Wicked RC!

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[wetsuitfan]

@bananahobby

It looks like it handles pretty well?

the original F-104 was a rocket with wings not a plane.

[1z1q]

That has got to be the greatest "toy" ever created.. You are a fortunate man... The wings look a littile exaggerated in size in relation to a real 104 but the rest of the fuselage and the "T" Tail look real .. Love the 104 thanks for posting !

[airlinerdude12]

never call these toys my friend >:(

[1z1q]

Right! duly noted... either way I would absolutely love to have one of these R.C. birds..and it is a kickass looking jet..

[captainmorgan888]

Great ! i just orderd one, looking for a big runway....

[bananahobby]

Awesome! Keep that airspeed up!  Keep the rates on the ailerons low. It rolls freaking FAST. You sneeze and shes inverted!

[thekiwicanuck]

Just like the real thing!

[wjp255]

Awesome plane.

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[granthutch1]

what is the flight time per charge,does the kit come with a charger included?

[bananahobby]

There is no charger included with this F-104. Flight times depend on your throttle management. I fly for about 5 minutes.

[287654321]

Good footage, but music detracts. Yeah, I DID turn the sound off.

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment! There should be no music during the actual flight.

[Sk8rboiAnkleBreakr]

heh heh nice

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[AleksanderNOR]

If it didnt sound like 200 flies running around i'd might actually purchase one :P Sound is 50% of the experience with airplanes in my opinion.

[bananahobby]

This is electric.  There is no way to achieve the sound of a Turbine from small electric units.

[AleksanderNOR]

That's why i won't buy one, even though it looks really fun. :)

[mxf7010g8k]

i think the opposite. if it sounds good but has no "balls" its a no go but if its gunna perform amzing the sound wont really matter

[AleksanderNOR]

I guess i just appreciate airplanes in a different way :). Great video anyways, props to the people who fly these.

[mxf7010g8k]

lol yea

[dsvo]

Doesn't look quite right without anhedral. Is there any way to construct it with a scale amount of wing droop? It should still be flyable, strangely enough--the full scale and countless models have flown that way.

[DasBulk]

Not only that, the inlets are to large and the elevators look to low. Other than that, I like it.

[bananahobby]

I hear ya. We are working on new models and hopefully they will have more correct anhedral and intakes.

[luuk341]

whats the song cald pete its a sweet song

btw super site man my new favorite

good plane

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment! I will message you the name of the song!

[Uhh99]

Switchfoot - stars

[cmtecarvalho]

It flies beautifully, just like the real one! The only thing i didn't like are these enormous intakes, lacking the intake cones indeed.

[bananahobby]

I saw that too. It was the way the manufacturer could achieve X amount of lift for X amount of wing area.

[bendover90]

i got one of thesebout 3 weeks ago and it went in the air fast but it crashes faster

[speedstakerguy]

what city is this field in? and is this field specificly made just for RC fanatics? cause if it is ur lucky to be near it :P

[bananahobby]

It is in Los Angeles. We are very Blessed that we do have such a facility to fly at for sure!

[speedstakerguy]

sweet my cousins live in los angeles.. they live in a city called Diamond Bar.

[bananahobby]

Sweet! I use to skate in Diamond Bar all the time!

[speedstakerguy]

really? awsomeee have u ever went to one of those picnics near diamond bar? where like in the day they have little games to play for the little kids then at night theres a movie?

[ssrc30]

That aint no puppy lol, that thing's a lion.  That's one sick looking jet.

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment! Ya its pretty aggressive!

[cmorgan3335]

i was thinking more of a bear! lol

[ssrc30]

lol. its a monster to fly. I wouldnt wanna see a noob try this one as a first jet lol....

[Rcflyer71]

Again great vid

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment!

[dudeisawe]

that is badass

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[ForgingOFZero]

lol too bad, but do you think you can tell me the name of the song you used in this video? thanks

[ForgingOFZero]

i loce each and everyone of your videos and i was wondering whats the music use used in this one?? 5star

[bananahobby]

Thanks for the comment!! I use songs that I like and feel they fit each video and now I can't do so anymore. My videos are getting blocked because I do not have permission of an artist to use a certain song. Even when I was writing them in the video credits. So now, I kinda just stick to 1 song I know I can use.

[NitroNerdPaul]

cool

[bananahobby]

Thanks!

[bananahobby]

I agree! It looks like one of those "That thing won't fly" jets. But she sure flies so nice!

[grame141]

speechless

when i flew a simulated model of that jet i couldn't believe how it looked,how it flew and how they could have built it at such an early stage of fighter jet development.

[auzziepyro]

Did ya get a haircut Pete.:)

Catch

[grame141]

he must have flew the jet earlier

with a few low passes :)lol

[bananahobby]

LOL! I love low passes!

[bananahobby]

LOL!! YA! It's one of those things. I say say just cut a half an inch off please..... and BZZZZZZZZZZ I get a buzz cut leaving me with WAY to short hair! DOH!

[xmodscarbonslost]

wow thats a small wing span it looks to be about 20 inches is all!

[bananahobby]

Yes! The wingspan is really short! I forgot to measure. lol!

[lowIQ04]

ive been waiting all day lol

[bananahobby]

LOL! Go do your homework or something! Get those grades up so u can get RC Stuff!

[lowIQ04]

1 atlast

[bananahobby]
