These 50MM are awesome flyers!! Not only beautiful schemes, but built in gyro make these jets just super to fly and easy on the budget. Great job Stuart and HOBBYKING 👊🏼👊🏼
personally I want it in a neutral standard F16 grey “camo” so I can easily add local livery flags and numbering. same issue with the eachine with the weird blue scheme.
I'm so envious of you guys! Closing my eyes and imagining the beautiful green fields.. I open them and am shocked into reality of the dry, unforgiving reality of the desert in which I live!😀 Ha, beatific, I love it the 16 is always my favorite as I was stationed with security for security of these baby's and their weapon systems! Thank you!
Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing an inflation that we have not experienced for a long time. In my opinion, the freight prices are also (unjustifiably?) high for all applicants. That's why I really enjoy my Laeser cutter. But joking aside, these two models are currently available in Europe as a kit for less than 80 euros, i.e. expanded for around 105 to 120 euros. Love for HK is a bit strained at a good 188 euros. I personally wouldn't spend any money on it either way as I prefer to use the money to buy building materials now, but I think people need to save at the moment and will prefer to buy cheaper. In the relevant flight tests, the F18 was rated slightly better than the F16 by these models - a 2200 mAh battery fits very tightly in the F18 without becoming too top-heavy according to one test.
Sweet flyers here!! Like lazers in the air and locked in! And at a affordable price point!! Another great product from HKing..Pay attention it's getting better and better and better 👏😃
HK dead in the water in Australia. Cheapest shipping AUD$73.01 plus AUD264.44 for this model. It's only a 50mm EDF foamie without undercarriage so forget it. Shipping on everything from Hong Kong warehouse (no Australian warehouse anymore) is way too expensive to even waste time looking at what HK have not to mention we can't even buy Lipo's from HK anymore
Totally agree, used to buy most of my planes and rc accessories/batteries from HK in UK but now don't consider that they have anything to offer me. Recently heard of someone who bought a plane for about £150 but by time shipping was added and customs had their cut it was about £300 total. Much better planes available for that money from closer to home.
Awesome looking planes Stuart. It is a shame that there is no more Hobby King here in Australia. Would love to have had the Hornet in my collection, repainted of course. Great flying as always, enjoy the cracking hi temp record summer that you guys are having and stay safe.
These look very identical to the jets I have . I have 2 F-16s and 2 F-18s with the F-18's being much better. I fly mine on a 4s 2200mah and get about 5 mins of flight and it flies like it's on rails. These have a much better paint scheme of course but I'm sure you can sneak a 4s 2200mah in these as well since they are nearly 100% identical 😎🤙
I just noticed that hobbyking have a new shipping option from Hong Kong warehouse. Its available on this model and all the others I have checked. About a third of what they have been previously charging. Worth a look. Its called hk post speedpost service . For example the cost of shipping for the reno racer corsair is now 45 pounds for 3 to 10 day delivery. Andy in uk.
@@neilgillies6943 sorry, I'm not saying it's a real bargain, I'm just letting people know it's a third of what it was. Also you have to factor in the fact the cost of the plane is 15 percent cheaper in the Hong Kong warehouse than the european warehouse. I'm not working for hobbyking.
@@HobbyKingOfficial better than nothing. Legally it has to be used for all shipments here now, which I guess is why i when I try to buy from global it ads from Europe warehouse anyway.
These seem to be the EACHINE EDF jets I would suggest and not HK releases, just HK rebadges , and only available in the EU with ridiculous shipping cost to elsewhere in the world .
These are a good a start as any. Affordable, durable, stable, good looking and easy to fly/launch. Nice low investment point to tip your toe and see if EDF's do it for you.
@@jameswarner5428 I changed the rx to spektrum 4 ch, I think the ref no is 410, but as I have a DX7S tx the giro is on the intermediate setting all the time.
Look Epic just a shame HobbyKing has turned its back on Europe and the UK! Global shippig is a complete joke, this time last year HobbyKing was the go to place for lipos and planes, now a waste of space
as usual...........................for europe veeeeeeery expensive model...........it's a bubble plane, 175€.................................with that money i will print 30 lw-pla plane ............you can take it.........
the lw pla will cost just as much and won’t handle the landings the same way this will and will still be heavier though. you’ll also be able to order two of these before it’s done printing, and you’ll still have to buy all the electronics in addition to the expensive filament.
@@MeshJedi i pay the lwpla 35€ per roll (a good quality ones) included the shipping cost and with it i made 5-6 even more x 70-80cm plane...........................do you think it's expensive????? 175€ for a 50cm plane in epo are expensive!!!!! the cost of electronics are irrelevant (my house is full of electronics...........................) i think this kind of modelism is........DEAD!!!!!!!!!....hobbyking is dying......................
@@peppegermano3382 you can barely make one average size plane from one 750 roll of lw pla. At least be honest. And what's with the stuck punctuation key...
@@MeshJedi i use the 3dlabprint lw-pla..it's 1 kg roll, i use 40-50% extrusion width so i can produce 2-2,5 kg of printed materials (1 plane is about 250-300 grs) how many planes i am able to print????? only one????? be honest ahahahahahahaha

Thanks 👍

Couldn't agree more!

Another great HK product Stuart. Great flying, was amazed to see her glide so well. I think I prefer the dark grey 👍🏻
Thanks 👍

Same here in the UK HK dead and buried

Picked up the Eachine equivalent F18 PNP from (BG) Aussie warehouse for $138 AUD free shipping 🤔
Haven't got an edf plane one of these seems the right one to buy 🤔 Great video as always 👍
Good choice!

Not for the uk. Postage is more than the plane !!!!!

Nice but nothing for the UK
Go and check out the new shipping costs. You might get a pleasant surprise. Andy in uk.

I should add that mine are Eachine brand and they handle 4s right out of the box as well 😎🤙
@@dronepilot260rc these are just the Eachine birds but repainted and with the Hobby King addons
@@legonakonow Absabloodylutely just rebadged .
@@legonakonow these are still a good price considering the upgrades the added to it. If I didn't have 2 of these already I'd buy 1 un a heartbeat
What is the CG for the F16, I have one, but there are no instructions whatsoever and no info on the CG.

Thanks and we are working on improving our shipping methods to the UK and to as many customers as possible. Thanks for your support
How much will import duty be as well
@@shozzy69 2.5% plus VAT at 20%, so grand total around the 250 gbp mark 😁
Anyone know how to calibrate the esc in this model takes gas from 15% of the throttle?
👍👍HK.....
AirHammer out!!
What trans and receiver should I buy with this
Are these going to stock again anytime soon?
Does HK now apply VOEC EU/EAC VAT and duties when ordering like you should, or will we get charged extra for this by the carrier as they arrive ?
They are applied when ordering from the EU/NL warehouse
@@HobbyKingOfficial better than nothing. Legally it has to be used for all shipments here now, which I guess is why i when I try to buy from global it ads from Europe warehouse anyway.
how many time flying at a single charge?
what Sort of flight time would gou get on the 1400?
How long does it fly with the 1000 lipo?
Sadly hobbyking is dead hear in the uk
I'm sure this is to be blamed on Brexit. I used to order a lot from HK UK warehouse, but Brexit made that much more expensive.

@@HobbyKingOfficial for me, EU warehouse is perfect, even though some products are often out of stock.
On topic: these planes look really nice!
@@HobbyKingOfficial £75 postage I don’t think so

I’ve been wanting to get into Edf jets for a while now, I’ve just been kinda intimidated; no idea where to start
These are a good a start as any. Affordable, durable, stable, good looking and easy to fly/launch. Nice low investment point to tip your toe and see if EDF's do it for you.
@@HobbyKingOfficial thanks
How do you connect the orx giro to h-hing orange 6 ch rx. So far no luck, rx will not connect.
I’m also having issues with connecting this gyro. Anyone that could help would be appreciated
@@jameswarner5428 I changed the rx to spektrum 4 ch, I think the ref no is 410, but as I have a DX7S tx the giro is on the intermediate setting all the time.
Hello can you put your expo and throws setup?
Yes we will work to get them added to the files tab of the listings.
They look good but no UK warehouse and the cost of HK shipping... I'm going to wait until prices drop to a more reasonable level.
We have updated the HK Warehouse with better shipping methods. Please direct message us on social media if you have any questions. Thanks!
Hk in the UK RIP

I cried when you guys said the AU warehouse was closing, lost a valuable customer from shipping prices.

Eachine comes to mind.... Mmmmmmm🤔
These look to be 100% identical with paint scheme and gyro being the difference
