Lil expensive
I want one!
Nice Repair
Thank you!! 🙏💯⚓️
Thank you Nate and Abby, I love the story that you told with this video. I've been building and flying RCs since the late '70s and Carnage is inevitable. Only in my more recent years have I learned to embrace the Carnage, the crashes, the accidents, etc. It adds a lot of Joy to the hobby When we can laugh and we say let's try and fix this and see how it goes! But I think given the expense and beauty and awesomeness of this particular model, it must have hurt a lot worse than others. So way to go, guys!
Nice! Crashes suck but there is a certain satisfaction when you’re able to rebuild and get back in the air. Some of my favorite memories and flights were on crashed and rebuilt planes / drones. Really happy to see this follow up! 😊
No mercy from Abby on this one…😀 Awesome flights Nate!!! 👍🏻
Haha, thank you!! 😂😅🙏💯⚓️
That's AMAZING repair and re-maiden!! So I'll re-comment!! I LOVE a good crash every now and then and, I have to admit, I was kinda waiting for it to fall apart way up in the air!! AWESOME job Nate!! Thanks Saylors for the re-maiden!! 💟👍😘
Nice rebuild. Sometimes that's the most rewarding part of this hobby. RE rebuilding after the carnage. Cheers.
Couldn’t agree more! Makes the plane even more enjoyable to fly! 👍💯😎⚓️
Good Job Nate. You got her back together! I like Foam to Foam for, you guessed it, FOAM Different strokes and all that.
Amazing repair! Glad it worked out so you get fly it more. As a fan of banged up guitars I feel it has more charm now 🙏
Not to be picky, but F-16s are Air Force, and F-18s are Navy. Love the channel!!!
I am glad you were able to fix your jet. That is one reason I can't force myself to buy an expensive plane. 😊 Enjoy.
The repair job was pretty cool. When I saw the crash 💥 didn’t think it was repairable! So many parts.
That’s the beauty of foam planes if you have found all the part and it’s not shattered into a 100 peices they are pretty fixable ain’t they, good job with the fix to 👍
Excellent repair and an excellent flight video by the pro!
Not a Thunderbird now, more a Phoenix
Nice 👍💯😎⚓️
GREAT landings Nate!
You are the man nate!!!! 👍🏼 you got that baby up and in the air ASAP😁 I love the way this jet sounds and it flies great! I believe you had the same issue my buddy had with the gyro in safe....because it is zipping in manual 😊 and you are absolutely right about crashing....it happens....imo I think crashing just makes you a better pilot and an even better repairer 😁✌🏼
Hot glue is heavy and just fills the gaps between the broken pieces. It's also nit very appealing looking. The best is Bob Smiths Foam Cure or Beacon Foam Tac. It actually fuses the pieces together. If you do a great job cleaning the Foam before gluing you won't even be able to tell there was ever a break or crack. It is also intant once you pit it on wait 1 minute then press the pieces together. It will fuse right away and fully fuse in 6 hours. You will never break the same spot again. It also is Soper lightweight. Once you use it you will wonder where it's been all your RC life.
Hot Glue is a way of life with Foamies. No shame whatsoever. Well Done Sir.
Nice repairing nate man . And super nice and onist video . 👌👍🏻greats from belgium
Flies better than new and those landings are perfect . 👍👏👏👏
Nice job on the repairs , crashed my Xfly Glaster and broke the main landing gear . Planning to hot glue it back .
Great job on the re-fix, and the re-fly. Glad you were able to make it happen...and that you show you ups...and downs.
Thank you!! 🙏👍💯⚓️
Excellent job Nate and Abby the rc sailor ⚓️ dynamic couple duo I'm getting my significant other into the hobby I also am into collecting rc monster trucks ,short course trucks ,boats , tanks rc planes and I just got my first rc jet /edf I really love the look of this jet⚓️though definitely one I'll eventually add to my collection.
Hey, the two of you are the perfect team. These naysayers only wish they could have a close bonded relationship like you guys. Their negativity only shows how basically unhappy they are.Your channel is great!
my favourite plane. havnt had a major crash yet, few mishaps on grass field..
Abby and Nate, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
I'm glad to see the bird fly again! Congrats on the repair job, Nate!
Thanks Farrell! Sorry I’ve not had as much time to reply to your comments lately. Know that they aren’t going unread or unappreciated!! 🙏💯⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors NP. As they say, life happens. 🙂 Take care.
Flying into the sun
instantly close one eye.
when visible again
you still have one eye.🤩😎
Foam tac works great. I recommend that
That is some good hot glue. Glad to see you put it back in the air!!
just love that jet
Yay she's alive 👏👏👏 well done there
Congratulations!!! Success!!! 😎
Great job, makes me confident to push myself. God Bless.
Wish you did some assembly, setup and in this case a repair video would be helpfiul to see how this repair was accomplished
Crashed or not that thing moves Nate.
Hi Abby.
Ralphie
I new when i saw the crash i was like just hot glue good as new 😂
That’s it!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Amazing awesome job!!!!
I think that a new paint job would really make it look a lot better.
Nice video, Nate and Abby. Way to get back in the saddle and fly again!
Nate I knew you could do it it wouldn't be long Abby is funny cutting up on you like that y'all are very entertaining it all in fun
Nice redemption flight and repairs Nate 😁👍🏻
I always use Gorilla hot glue sticks on all my builds and repairs. if the glue is too hot squirt it on something let it cool a few seconds then apply it and it will not melt the foam, It's best to have a glue gun with temp settings, unfortunately I don't so I use the method I explained... If you're on disability like me and can't afford everything you need you have to be smart and improvise with what you have sometimes, most people would be surprised how simple and cheap they could build a great flying decent size plane.. I've built several planes and I have well under 100 bucks in all but my biggest 5ft 6inch wingspan plane, It was my first build so I went way overkill and put 6S capable electrics in it lol, It has plenty of power on 3S so anybody could build the same size plane for less than 100 bucks easily.. You guys should do more of the FliteTest planes and maybe time lapse most of the build process then do the maiden in the same video to show how well a homemade plane can perform!?!?! Just a suggestion... ✌🏻
Thank you !!!
hello love you guys so much you guys got me into the plane hobby
I think you did a brilliant nate and honest. Always love your vids your wife rocks too. Cos she loves things we do. And that is fairly rare. But I was thinking as it was broken you would give abbi the controls. 😊
Abby would definitely love trying to fly this, I’m sure but I don’t know if it will ever see “SAFE” again after that crash! It flies great now IMO, and I may just hold on to it a little longer….. Yes, I do have a problem! 😂😅💯🙃⚓️
That's is such a cool plane great repair job! that thing was so destroyed after your maiden flight....Great job!
You can also get foam filler and repair the cracks in the fuselage ..
Awesome repair job dude, I couldn't have done better myself.
And he comes back a totally redeems himself. Great job. I like foam tac myself but to each his own. Thanks guys. Now what to get rid of?
Great video guys the plane looks good. Now that it has crashed Aby can fly it. Cheers
Nice fix Nate.
One of my planes struggles to get off the ground these days since it has sooo much hot glue on it as its been piced together 6 times now.
But its my fav plane so i didn't want to dispose of it
Great repair and expert flight. Did I hear an unwinged mocking bird in the background?😆
That is so great that you were able to fix that jet. That is good news. It is a nice plane. I am flying four jets, and I have not had any control problems yet. I have never flown them in SAFE. I wonder if the SAFE did cause the crash? I am flying the E-flite Viper 90mm, and it has worked well.
The next time, and I'm sure it will be a while. would you be able to show us your repair technique that you use to put these birds back together? Thanks.................
I’ll do my best! I need to clean an area inside for better filming. I have limited RC space, though I know it’s more than many have. 🙏👍⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors Thank you, I look forward to it.
Use foam glue.
Wouldn't that be better, stronger?
I saw the crash and I have the NX8 and lost.two planes the same way taking off in safe. Plus had other problems. Actually had to send it in to HH to get it fixed.Glad it was still under warranty. Both planes I lost had 20+ flights on them on my DX6g3 without issue.
hope you dont crash it again, and i have a qeustion what you favourite car , plane and boat?
Would love to see some assembly and setup vids that you never show and this vid would be a great opportunity to show how you made the repairs the F16
I use UHU modelers glue, like Foam Tac but a lot cheaper !
Hey does that glue get hard? Or does it maintain a little flex?
@@scu-dub Maintains a flex
@speedtwin5t thanks because I'm DEFINITELY gonna give it a try.... foam to foam is pricey so is foam tac✌🏼
Most of the planes I fly weigh more in glue than they do in foam! 😊
Haha! I’ve seen that and flown them like it before! They start to get pretty heavy after a while don’t they!? 😂😅👍💯⚓️
I am not a fan of hot glue...but i may try the brand you use...hot glue that does not get soft sitting out in direct sun light sounds interesting...
I honestly believe it has a higher melting point. Generally I hate to wait longer in my glue gun for better results when applying. These sit in the very hot summer sun and I never have any issues of glue failing! Just my experience, but it’s an honest one! 👍💯⚓️
See...I told you it could be fixed :) Nice job!
Thank you! 🙏💯⚓️
F-16 has a tail hook for emergencies. 9:03 I know what I'm going to try later.
If it weren't for crashing I wouldn't have room for what I have now. It was worse trying to fix balsa and tissue, but they burned great on a ceremonial pyre.
Just buy another one Nate! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It literally cracked me up! But hey it fly's! Love you guys! 👍👍🤟🛸👽😎
I got curious this time and I reckoned that it was Gorilla glue - haven't used the sticks, but I use the liquid. I also started using the Command Velcro - it's like meshing pin heads together. I replaced all my battery Velcro with that.
That is true everyone that flies has a mishap. It is just an old school thing because we worked 3 to 4 months on the model and didn't want to crash it. The new radios have made it very nice.
Good job. Would like to have seen the repair. And type of glue details.
Good job 👍 hows ur mini p40 warbird holding up order one from watching ur reviews...
Has a nice Sound. Lots of Air rush. 10 or 12 Blade 70 mm? 😊
What hot glue did you use? I need a good one myself.
Thanks!
Wow, nice job! You sure repaired that quickly. Now...what about your EC 1500? Spare parts plane that I may need?
It would be cool if you could use some type of shrink wrap to make it stronger,,,,,,they break so easily,
Good afternoon I witnessed your crash last week or maybe I should say your controlled crash and I guess your repair that you attempted on your aircraft was good enough because everything comes in threes so you have two more to go and you don't want to break up near perfect aircraft good luck, you're going to need it
Nate your too good of a pilot to mess around with safe as anyway
Thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏👍💯❤️⚓️
What's the best glue for rc airplane that are epp and epo foams?
You need to make a video showing you rebuilding a crash with hot glue gun
I just need to clean up my work space, then I’ll feel better about making that type of video 👍💯😎⚓️
I think it deserves its gear doors back 😏
That is the glue i use , couldn't say if it is any better than any Walmart brands seems the same ...but Gorilla works for me. IMO Oh yea it doesn't seem to have the dreaded string that goes all over at the end of the application. Hope that makes sense. 😁😀
Makes perfect sense!! I’m not a fan of the glue web!! Cheap glue holds up well until it doesn’t! If it fogs up when it’s dry, in my experience, that’s the stuff to avoid! 💯⚓️
With some kiddos around, you surely must have some colored markers around to cover up those white crack-marks. Little effort with great effect ;-)
Hi folks. New flyer here. What does "feathering the sticks" mean and is there a tutorial video on this technique?
You should be 25 meters away for the pre flight radio check. I thought you were right next to it when you did your check
Is this a good beginner plane the EFLU16450.😊
This is a great beginner plane, easy to fly and look super nice. Reasonable price and ready to fly. You couldn’t find a better second plane imo
U should build a plane from flight test and do a review Nate
Nate and Abby just did a review of the Flite Test nature series planes. RC birds and squirrels. It was just a couple of days ago.
Definition of "destroyed" : to reduce (an object) to useless fragments, a useless form, or remains, as by rending, burning, or dissolving; injure beyond repair or renewal; demolish; ruin; annihilate. to put an end to; extinguish.
They always fly better after you crash them.
I'm a firm believer of that. My Carbon Cub has many nose and 2 tail repairs using hot glue and it's my smoothest most stable flyer!
For me "safe" and all other 6 axis gyro stuff is the most unsafe thig in RC flying. I had only bad experiences. Thats why eliminated it from my TX. Glad that you were able ro repair this beauty! The sound is as well wonderful!
Could not agree more.......this "safe" technology is CRAP.............never believed in it, never will.......
👍👍
Hot glue is nice but foam safe glue have better finish and from where i live, i cant leave mine in the car with hot glue, it will melt and weaken.
It looked good, sounded & flew well. & the glue held. 😊. Paraphrasing here-- Abby as per your verbal contract stating you will fly an expensive plane after its crashed. We'll this one has been well & thoroughly crashed [ sorry Nate ] so unless you wish to violate your verbal contract with your viewers 🫣🫢😏😏 you MUST Fly the THUNDERBIRD. Ya gotta fly it Abby 👍🫶👏👏👍. Also it could use a touch up paint 🎨 job. I vote Amelia w/ mom & dad's help. She did such a great job on her Butterfly 🦋. Was a most wonderess day for flying. Sailor's rock 🪨 🎸 😎. ⚓️⚓️👍💚🧡💛👍🫣🫢😏🪨🎸😎👏🫶👏👍⚓️⚓️.
i Only use E6000 :P
Curious to how long it holds up. Hot glue is not my go to. Foamtac or foam cure and use carbon rods to reinforce it.
I’m still flying planes that I got glued together 10+ years ago! So far the only hot glue failure I’ve ever had was after a hard landing, a wing came separated after testing a cheap stick that came with a glue gun I bought.
Gorilla hot glue hopefully lol good to see it in the air again but why not remove the grass and dirt? 😂
It’s like a cool battle scar. I dunno, lol. Didn’t wanna knock it off inside, and just forgot to back outside. That’s the more honest answer, but it does look sorta cool too 😅👍😎💯⚓️
I’m not personally a huge fan of safe. Your crash is my example. You loose control. I don’t use safe!! You , my friend, are a good enough pilot that you don’t need safe mode at all! I do get it that you need to fly the plane as it’s sent to you. I feel as if Safe mode is dangerous for intermediate pilots. That being said a jet can use the as3x mode to fly easier in wind. We all crash
Let's go to the moon
😎💪
I would use 5 minute epoxy.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hopefully you never crash into a car or house, but if you let me know how well AMA takes care of you. Oh wait they don’t. Your car insurance or home insurance does it…. I know first hand.
We’ve honestly witnessed them step in at the old club we used to fly at! I was very impressed! AMA paid for the neighbors central A/C that was on their roof. Guy hit it with a large gas plane. AMA paid for it to be replaced! 👍💯⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors good for him, when my truck got hit by a plane at a AMA field they told me there is nothing can do unless it goes above a certain amount of money. My insurance would have to pay for it. Then I called then a few weeks back and they told me the same thing. So I would look into that.
I have heard similar stories and that is a shame. I’m sure there are many factors to consider, but I can honestly say I’ve heard both sides of the coin. I will say; I’d hate to be any type of insurance company or agent!! Just couldn’t do it! 💯⚓️
Repaired.
it’s a free plane
fly it as if you
have stolen it 😁😆😎
Nate, the F-16 doesn't do carrier landings, it's a USAF plane, not a USN plane.
