I killed 3 of these in succession in my first foray into the world of RC planes. 2+ years in the hobby, I'm ready to get one again and have a redemption maiden. NOT A BEGINNER EDF ! It may be for some, but I was over my head with this one. FGFRC makes it look so buttery. Happy New Year RC Brethren !
I own a couple myself painted up of course still a favorite in the fleet charging packs myself but taking up the FW 90 F16 and Raptor on 8s. Great flight, I have a great modification I do for the weak shafted front gear. Have shared with many and afterwards no issues with the front gear pin bending
@FatGuyFliesRC I certainly do, it's posted on Hobby Squak under 70 F16. If you don't find it I can repost there. If I could do here I certainly would, everyone one has commented how great it works
You should invite me to fly the Mikoyan sitting behind you in formation 🤣 🤣 nice flight and yours looks so nice still. You should do more shenanigans 😆 Mine has so much crashes but she is like a tank I say. Some glue and ready for the next flight…
@ wow, cool! I’m just like 12 Flight hours and $1000 away from you 🤣 It isn’t as easy as it looks but with a senior flyer who tells you what to do it’s easier. Because managing the speed and looking the other ones plane can be scary with some jets 😆 Easier on prop planes :)
Whats ur thoughts on the motion rc avanti jet. I been flying helis 3 years and recently ventured into planes with the fms ranger. Hoping to give the avanti a go next summer. Hope i can fly it. Lol 🙏🏻
The 80mm Avanti s v2 is a great stable jet but NOT for new fixed wing pilots. I would get the Eflite HABU sts if you must fly a jet and then get the Arrows Marlin. After those MAYBE a 70mm like the Eflite Viper...then the 80mm like the Freewing Avanti s

No a broader wing is better for started edf like the Arrows Marlin or a Viper from E-flite.

Cool, do you have a video or pics of the mod?

That would be cool!! I actually have never flown formation before.

@ ruclips.net/user/shorts7KMlf9qPWF4?si=93t4ta3PQ_udL7v-
What does right left up down mean?When you before you fly?
Oh thats is just me checking the control surface direction is correct.
I am making sure the controls of the plane are going right. Simple part of the preflight check.
Hey Greg what is the banging noise i here in your flying videos?
There is a very active outdoor gun range next door.

Must be hunting season for F16s, thats gotta be annoying in the background.
I don't even hear it anymore.
@FatGuyFliesRC Happy New Year from Thailand - t minus approx. 4 hrs to 2025. Keep up the good reviews man. Fat guy in Thailand.
