This is a compilation of me flying my Hobby Lobby thrust vectoring F-35 JSF Model. It took about 20 flights to compile this buildup to some really bizarre aerobatics that jets just shouldn't do. (2 parts to this video)

  • what is thrust vectoring?and what does it do

  • Just like control surfaces cause moments about the CG when you deflect them (force x distance to cg), you can do the same with thrust. Normally the thrust vector (direction it's pushing) is aimed through the CG of the plane; so, it has no effect on attitude. If you look early in the video you will see the nozzle moving right/left/ & up/down. That nozzle deflection points the thrust axis (vector) away from the cg causing a large control input [in pitch (up/dwn) or yaw (R/L)] about CG.

  • What do you think top speed on this plane is?

  • @ralphdamato

    Sorry i didn't answer sooner. I'd speculate 60-70 based on other models I've radar gunned. It's not terribly fast. It's more about the weird things you can do by pointing the thrust vector around. The hobby lobby video also has it taking off of grass which is pretty cool considering it's a jet.

  • is this a 70mm edf?

  • @adolz1000

    yes. 

see all

  • I ordered this plane a couple of days ago and I want to know a couple of things: how long does the stock battery last, how long is the range for the controller to the receiver, how do you know when your battery is low, and how do you charge the battery without the adapter?

  • Very cool!

    can this be flown without the thrust vectoring for high speed flights??

    thanks

  • Just watching this again after 10 months. Still amazed. And I still can't do any of it yet!

  • holy>>>> really awesome!!!!!!!!!

  • that jet has really good monouverability . im guessing its because of the thrust vectoring

  • this really what jet means
