Falcon 25 EDF maiden flight

the nitroplanes falcon 25 EDF is flying. the e-flite 80mm EDF is more than enough power to fly this bobcat : ) my only problem is on landing but I only have those 2 flies on it so maybe next flight I'll do better

Daniel, Nice video man . my 50mm, 64mm jets i have no problem with but when I jumped up to 70mm. they don't want to sink, i added weight to my f 18 but havn't put it back in the air yet.Jay is right these things are way different than prop job's........Hey keep up the great RC education it's a great help to all...Peace.

Thanks for the comment and input I thing I'm going to star building more EDF jets

Hey man. Nice plane and nice video. A tip on landing jets. Try not to fly it like a prop plane. Set yourself up far out, and make sure you can see the plane from the side rather than nose on. Allows you to see the airspeed easier.

Try and keep a constant angle of decent, using power for rate of decent, and elevator for speed control. Carry a little extra speed. When you get wing waggle it is TO SLOW!!

Fly to the runway, and flair AT THE GROUND or 1 foot above and kill power in flair. Have fun!

Thanks for the tips I really need a lot of practice landing this Jet

one turn each aileron clevice... push them both up. it'll fly much better. Maybe another turn will help more.

for low speed program in a SMALL amount of spoileron (deflect ailerons UP) no more than 5 deg... these things are pitch sensitive to the ailerons. (you can mix elevon with elevator and get a huge increase in response)

Bobcat clones tend to stall wingtip first and pitch up. This is called the Saber Dance and there are only 2 ways out... Power:weight >1.2:1 or let it spin.

Thanks for the tips and info I will try them : )

Daniel, I dont think Jay knows youve been scratch building and flying EDF's for years now......all i know is as soon as I got to 70mm. things changed drasticlly with flight handeling in the larger EDF's .Big sweeping turns , those military colors don't help much with orintation....Keep up with the Vid's man your a GOOD teacher in this COOL hobby.The new Guy's depend on guy's like you for the do's and don'ts.Peace.

@DanielMadrigalC always try new mixes (such as pushing the ailerons up for spoileron) with LOTS of altitude... and be ready to flip the switch back. If you have too much upward deflection it'll loop on the spoilerons with neutral elevator.

@DanielMadrigalC after the video my friend, have seen a slight drop, the model needs more speed to the landing to avoid dropping. COSMOS1966

Thanks for the reading and tips

how do you launch  it in to the air ?

Beautiful work Daniel, what a great looking bird!

ye this plane really flies very good I just have to learn to land it : )
