Nice review, I have had two of these, both were great flying beginner jets, you stated you had 100% throw on your rudder, it has stationary vertical fins, no rudders......
Chris that Walken impersonation was very close! I want more! Good going on the hand launch, I just picked up 2 of the 64mm f-16 on sale hey, did you ever repaint the CZ 150 iron eagle style? I love that 6s bird 🤩BB
Haha, thanks! I never did repaint the Cessna. Legend hobby has a new Cessna that’s very close to the iron eagle scheme. Wouldn’t tank much the turn it into one. 😊
this jet has to be my all time favorite..ive had 2...i would like another...first plane was my 2nd edf jet ever...it had a hard rebuilt life..my 2nd one the receiver came loose and i crashed...nothing was wrong (tall feild grass) took it back up and crash harder
It shouldn’t need much, but it’s really commensurate to the approach you take. The airplane will do a decent nose up approach using throttle to control the descent.
When hand launching. I have noticed it’s easier to throw with your throttle hand, and control with aileron and elevator hand. Might be a little challenge to throw with your left hand, but you’re not chasing to get back to the aileron and elevator control stick. Just a thought. Take what you want and leave the rest.
The RC Geek I’m lucky I’m a south paw. I did try a couple of times when I first started and with my right like everyone else. Let’s just say I’m 1000 time more successful. 😂 happy flying!
As a newbie I'm starting out with a Carbon Cub but seeing this recommended as a good first jet for sometime in the future. But everything I'm reading is talking about the importance of flying with more rudder, so would something like this with no rudder teach bad habits if the goal is to graduate to the Thunderbird someday? (This is all far in the future but playing in the simulator encourages dreaming)
The f-15 is a decent edf, but I find that the 70mm viper jet is a better first edf if its viable. On the rudder, jets generally don’t need a lot of rudder for flying around, so I never found it an issue on the f15. For certain maneuvers it’s nice to have, but not necessary for most of what you’d want to do with it. In fact, there are some jets that I don’t use the rudder for anything other than steering based on how the airplane responds to it. The A-7 Corsair II is one of those as the airframe responds strangely to rudder inputs in flight.
Nice flying Chris I hand launch mine without landing gear but she looks cool in the air without the gear Reinforced the inlets with clear tape and epoxy
Thanks! Yeah, would look way better without the gear, but was trying to avoid the bottom getting all hosed up from our 0 grit runway, haha! We don't really have any good areas off the runway for belly landing either.
The RC Geek yes the bottom does get scraped up even on grass I get a lot of favorable comments from dog walkers at the field I fly at especially if there is a pilot in the bunch
If you’re just starting out, I would recommend looking at a trainer type aircraft like the AeroScout from horizon hobby (the bigger one, not the mini). Also, get connected with a local club as they usually have instructors to help folks out. That’s the best recipe for success. Then once you’re proficient with the trainer then start to look at something like the f15.
@@Thercgeek sounds good. Thank you for that information. I do like model like the HobbyZone Duet RTF Airplane HBZ5300. or the Rage Tempest 600 EP RTF Aircraft - RGRA1108. Maybe I start with one of those types small plane Great website many thanks
@@2scoop831 Rage Tempest is a good choice. Does not cost much, no landing gear, rear prop, cheap batteries. Get a cheap flight simulator from Ebay.

@@mazpr2025 thank you for that information. I was thinking and interested that you mentioned. it's the Rage Tempest 600 EP RTF Aircraft. I'm interested in that plane
Just got this as a birthday gift with the 30C version of the battery. Can't seem to get it to charge with the S150 though, it goes into charge fault about 10 sec after connecting it. I'll be getting the 50C version of the battery and probably a different charger. But here's my question, how do I know what settings to put on the Spektrum dx8e for this plane. I'm definitely a straight noob, so any direction will help.
In the radio D/R & expo menu, you want to adjust the percentages so that the actual surface deflections match the recommendations I’ve made in the video. So, you’ll need to check the surface movement with a ruler or something similar.
My AMA field has a nice long asphalt runway. Would you advise this F-15 eagle taking off in 8 mph wind? Also, is it better to take off the missiles in this kind of wind?
Smaller models are generally more susceptible to atmospheric disturbances. However Some smaller models handle that better and have a larger feel to them as a result.
i just got mine and I have the same battery...but how the hell did you get your battery inside without bending or breaking any of the foam? any pictures of your battery orientation? afraid I am going to damage mine forcing it in
I found the battery fit perfectly snug in there. Take a look at my written article as I have a picture there: thercgeek.com/2020/03/e-flite-f-15-eagle-64mm-edf-assembly-flight-review/
Jets aren’t what you want to be starting with as a beginner. Jets are what you work up to once you’ve become a more proficient flyer. I’d recommend the eflite AeroScout as a good starting trainer. It’s pretty great.
I do have links in the description. A good solid radio system is one of the best investments you can make, so if you’re looking for something less expensive than the dx8 I have listed, I’d recommend a dx6. This will give you options for future aircraft. You can get away with a 4 channel radio on this, but if you ever plan to get anything with retracts and flaps, it won’t work. For battery options, take a look at roaring top batteries (roaringtopusa.com). They are fantastic batteries and should last you a good while.
The RC Geek If I take a dx6 will it work for a jet with retracts and flaps? I think I saw at the Viper jet (with retracts and flaps) that they recommend a 6 channel transmitter, but I’m not sure if it’s working, that’s why I ask. I will never be able to buy expensive jets, that’s why I’m looking for cheap stuff. I found a transmitter with 8ch at around 50$, but I don’t know how good it is. I really need advice!
Yes, a 6 channel radio will work with a jet that has retracts and flaps. I personally wouldn’t recommend getting something with less than 6 channels. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for with this stuff. You may be able to find a good used setup. What’s the $50 radio that you found?
@@Thercgeek Uhm.... If you want to use all the features on the jet... U will at least need 7 channels.... unless you would leave Safe select out, And bind it with Safe activated... which is a pain if you want to turn it off because you will need to rebind the plane.... and since Catalin seems to be a Novice at best.... I would absolutely recommend the first few flights on Safe... Maybe train on a simulater a bit (a lot!! :p ) before trying the real thing. I myself use a Dx6e with my prop planes, got a good handle on em, but flying jets is a whole different experience. Hope you enjoy the hobby :)
I have a 1600mm p51 that I fly with my 6 channel Ikkonnik ka-6 radio, no as3x or safe or anything, would it be okay to fly this on that setup? I dont need a gyro or any self leveling on my big p51
yep, you can y-harness it no problem. It's especially important though to use a separate 2s battery (a 250mah is perfect) for power when you do set it up through a Y based on the controller design. I have a couple new designs that I'll be announcing next week as well as some price adjustments (lower prices) based on some better build costs. So, just a heads up. :) I'm working on that stuff now.
hi im new to the hobby and only used the RTF versions, i want to upgade to this, what transmitter will work for this jet,theve reomended a dx but there pricey ,im sure there must be an alternative. can you help plz. cheers guys
Well, if you’re wanting to fly the bnf models, it requires a spektrum radio. Truthfully, the best investment you can make is in buying a good quality radio system. I’ve been using spektrum for a number of years now and really like it. I’d recommend at least a 6ch radio, but 8 would be better if it’s feasible.
If hand tossing it without the landing gear on it, It’ll land in grass fine. With the gear, it’ll handle most prepared surfaces so long as it’s long enough. Now this as a beginner airplane, I wouldn’t recommend. To set yourself up for success, it’s best to build up some proficiency on a more forgiving airplane and then move on to this. The aero scout is a pretty fantastic trainer! bit.ly/AroScoutRTF I would also recommend seeking out a local club for some personal instruction. Typically clubs will have instructors who are happy to help newcomers. They will help get you going much quicker than trying to learn on your own.
@@Thercgeek thanks reply. I have subscribed your channel. I bought F-15 with safe BNF, that means I could unplug their receiver and use my own, right? Cause I don’t have a spectrum transmitter, use some other brand

I'm not sure I understand your question as this is the actual performance of the aircraft. I haven't done anything to the video at all to make it look faster or make it appear to perform differently if that's what you're asking. It is bone stock out of the box.
I've tried neck straps in the past, and just don't like the feel of them. That's not so much the issue for me more than I just simply suck at hand launching airplanes, haha! I avoid hand launching in any way possible, lol!
I still fly the old OS 91 in dynamax noisy jets but elec performance is impressive. I might just get one to fly off my lawn, I'm up in northern Maine, no one cares about anything up here, i don't need no stinkin AMA.
Man, I haven’t flown a glow ducted fan since about 2000. Had a JHH ARF Hawk with a turbax 46 in it. Flew awesome! I miss the smell of glow, (I love the smell of burned glow fuel in the morning 😂) but I don’t miss the hassle of it too much.
Im flying a 4s 2200 and have my timer set 3 minutes. I like to fly the airplane pretty hard, so that ensures I have decent reserve. With better throttle management, it’ll fly longer.
You will be hard pressed to find any electric jet that can fly for 20 minutes. As a propulsion system, they’re just not as efficient as propellers. They require more power input for comparable thrust to a prop.
That comment is in relation to the steering servo. I used the wrong word calling out rudder. There are not functional rudders on the airplane, only steering.
ALL OTHER EDFs I have had one can remove the EDF, open up to clean any grass, balance etc with the removal of two or three bolts. W this jet, it has bolts,but it is also GLUED! WTF!
Only that center runner is glued. Once removed, the fan is accessed through the hatch via two screws. That runner peels up pretty easily, but agree it would be nice if it was fastened instead.
Airbus737 I agree. I can’t wait for the day they make Servo less retracts so small that they can be installed on some umx models. I also wish eflite made a 70mm f15 like the thunderbirds f16. Also I’m still thinking about starting a rc plane yt channel from ur suggestion

Is the gear really not retractable, if not thats a shame :(
For these smaller 64mm edf models, fixed gear is the norm due to their small size. Retracts are common at the 70mm edf size and larger.
