      @@kellyellerbroek9222 yes you said!! But the last time you said that I think I had already crashed this (2 weeks ago). But probably I’m wrong 🤣 Well, this was super easy to hand toss in the summer when my landing gear wasn’t working properly. But after Talking off with half flaps I tried here full flaps and snap flaps. So that were like air brakes. Most of the time I learn the hard way… Just curious why she rolled to the left. She was about to fly I think.
      Yes, just the spar was broken. Waiting for the cheapo replacement. The glue foam to foam and a small plastic piece. But this jet really handles well rough landings and crashes. The front fuselage was already completely destroyed on August 1th taking off when it was getting dark. She was 48hours in a corn field. But I did not need any replacement. Even the imploded Rx worked. Just a lot of glue and Epoxy for strengthen things in the front. The battery bay is now stiffer than before. Just not flat on the inside :P…
      I need to prepare the Avanti 80! But in the meantime I got a 70mm BAE Hawk from FW also with the high performance Edf. Maybe it would be good too (?). It’s a used and very cheap one… just saying before I break something bigger :P… did I mention a new 2nd hand L-39 80mm? That seems to be a good one too :))))

      @@kellyellerbroek9222 I think that the bigger F-16 will be more difficult. Also I don’t know how much power she will have on a standard 3670 1900kv Fms fan and running from gras. I’ll try that out on 7S or 8S LiIon cells with two in parallel or just one, but that would be probably hard to balance (CG). For me lighter planes are easier to control still. Also I have the problem that I like to fly (too) slow hahaha

      @@rchobbyandmoreeverydayisagift Hi! Some planes have a hard time on grass ops 🤣 But some are very good with it. Some good thing is they slow down quickly. For some narrow landing gear planes as the F-16teens or 18teens maybe too quickly above all if they are small. Some lightweight plane also break their landing gear off quickly if you are just a tenth of a pound to hard on landing 🤣 I have a buttery landing on my Focke Wulf 190, but every other landings was boom 💥 🤣 Thanks for liking and subscribing! I have been enjoying and envying a but your “airfield” 😆 I have a small street near by but in my mind it is much easier to land as when I’m in the air and approaching to land hahaha the road gets narrow and sometimes cars, cyclists or strollers pass by 😆 Last year when I was still learning on my T-28 even a guy stopped with his car and began to tell me about bird protection and where not to fly and similar 😅

    Ola Francisco! Sad to see her going to the ground! Hope she is ok now! I know very well what is it when I was trying to fly my Freewing F86 sabre that a friend gave to me. He was tired of stalling all the time 🤣

      Olá Luis Claudio! Well, this was a bit dissapointing because before I could launch here super easy by hand and days ago I had the remaiden after almost the full destruction. I posted one picture a few posts before on RC Groups. But sometimes I had problems on our grass with this one. That day I had full flaps plus snap flaps. So a lot of drag and as you say a stall. Just today I saw this video on my camera again. I was looking for some very nice videos I shot on sunday flying and landing on a very narrov pavement street hear near by my town. With some spectators. It was very fun and I had one crash without damage but great landing on the street. Sadly the damn SD card was corrupted or I don´t know what happened but no video was saved to the fu***ing card hahaha My F-16 still flies although the nose is pointing down hahaha You will surely love yours!!

They were very fun with some people looking and some near mistakes xD I have formatted the card again and I´ll see. It´s an original SanDisk so it should be good. Yes the F-16 suffers a bit but she is a warbird and half tank I think xD hahahaha
