Daniel Tyler you can get airborne for 50 bucks my man, I`m poor as all hell AND I live in norway.. This has still been my hobby for 20? years, so I suggest you educate yourself before speaking about something you now NOTHING about.. No offence, but ANYONE can get into RC these days, just not jets.. :)
+jan christian Frodahi I stand corrected,perhaps hate is a factor in the 611 now 612 thumbs down. I started with Firebirds one and two then went on to Mini Max and Crazy Max and then heavier planes that required club fees and insurance. If you are so poor maybe it is YOU that needs the education.
Daniel Tyler You're doing a bad job at trolling and an even worse job if you're trying to be serious... Sure "611 people can't and never will afford to fly RC planes."....But there's also MILLIONS that can't even feed themselves or their families. "If you are so poor maybe it is YOU that needs the education."...Huh? Trolling? Serious? So are you saying you own a $10,000 RC plane? Where is it? Oh, you don't own one? Then "you are so poor maybe it is YOU that needs the education." herp derp
Hey, you could probably rent this plane to film makers, movie producers etc. might be a way to recoup some of the mega bucks that must have gone into this machine.
I always think that when I see these perfectly made RC planes. When they're in the air you really can't tell the difference at all from the real thing. I'd have to think that's appealing to filmmakers, especially since good CGI is so expensive.
Hardtop Harry He would have to implement retractable landing gear for it to be more realistic + some lights. Also, only a third of the pylons are visible, but other than that it looks pretty good.
I love thе I'm going to givе these products а сhance to work their mаgic on mе. I'vеeeе tried evеrything оut thеre аnd so far nothing hаaas bеen good enоugh to help me. For to bуe/ оrder come thеrе twitter.com/d872bcfec62cd9594/status/788632172043366400 RC turbine jet F 16 sсаle 1 4
Yeah. What the hell was that about? Like right at the moment of liftoff? Totally suspicious. Like hiding or protecting something. Also it looked like it was about to go off the runway just then. I thought they were gonna have a do-over or something.
You would think they would just get another video of it taking off. It means the plane crashed or something shortly after and they didn't want you to see it. a new video will come out once they build another one ;)
Not sure if there are civilian models with cameras, but most if not all of these hobbyists fly without camera. I'm a bit more puzzled by how it manages to stay up in the air, the F-16 was developed to be aerodynamically unstable. I heard it requires constant input from a on-board computer to correct the instability, especially the F-117. Perhaps they change the wing-surface to make it more stable for RC flight, but however they do it. it's still puzzling.
Boulder AMR On the radio control is there an orientation bar so pilots know when they're upside down or not when outside eye shot? I've seen some vids on youtube where the guys are taking their planes so far out they look like tiny dots. Lol, the RC world is so foreign to me.
LifeRocket7 Nope it is all line of sight. They look like dots, but you get used to knowing how the dot moves, so you can tell if you are right side up or what orientation yup are in. If it isn't line of sight, it is "FPV" with goggles or a screen of some type, with a camera on aircraft transmitting back a picture to pilot.

Great looking plane and what a power with 4 Graupner 160 turbines, tough I wonder, when it does 1650 km/h can you still control it? Crushed the sound barrier already? Graupner 160 Turbine G Booster 160 Plus Specification: Thrust: 120 N - 170 N adjustable * Weight: 1570 g (55 oz.) Diameter: 112 mm (4.4") Length incl. starter: 288 mm (11.3") Rotor speed: 30,000 - 123,000 rpm Fuel consumption: 580 ml / min (16 fl.oz/min.) Fuel type: Jet A1, kerosene, petroleum plus 5% turbineoil Maintenance interval: 50 hours or 500 million revolutions Jet speed: max. 1650 km/h (1025 mph)
That is amazing, the work and just everything about it is incredible. Kudos to the builder, that is very impressive. You could probably take small kids for rides
I am curious as to the engine used in this. How many lbs of thrust can it produce, and what would it's rate of fuel consumption be? Overall, I am highly impressed. The skill at making something such as this, and have it fly so flawlessly, is astonishing.
Its actually 4 engines ganged together. Each engine produces about 35lbs of thrust, and each will consume about 3 liters of Kerosene in about 8min at full throttle.
That was exactly what I was thinking! Must take up a car park in the garage. Also maiden flight you'd be thinking "oh god 20k worth of 'I hope I don't stuff this up!' I was surprised that he landed it past himself. Most people land towards themselves and position and the end of the runway.
so, you spent more money on this plane, than you likely have spent on shoe collection, you have a narcoleptic cameraman who faints at the sight of anti-gravity, you landed that thing so hard, some person on the other side of the planet felt a thump coming up from the ground, and, last but not least, we all know planes love beer! lots and lots of beer! I learned lots today.
What? XD It's an F-16 not a Pilatus. It's going to land like a missle, not float. He basically drove the thing right into the ground. If you're new to landing a jet aircraft you should land long or make some go arounds. Better to balloon then smack the deck with any aircraft. At least if you balloon you can power up and go around and there is that kind of power in RC. Once you nail the deck hard it's over.
77Avadon77 The problem in these though is the turbine lag. It would have taken the turbines a good 2 seconds to spool back up. I get what your saying, but I get the feeling that wasn't his first attempt at landing this. It's a beautiful craft, but it seemed unwieldy.
It's REALLY not that hard to make a good video without such idiocy as "cameraman fainted" and instead substituting still photos. I stopped watching at that point
DamnlagTV The FAA wanted to impose laws on RC planes/helicoptes but the NTSB came back and said the laws were unenforceable. Drone is the technical term for an unmanned "surveillance" and/or combat vehicle. Only when a camera is mounted to a RC plane does it technically become a "drone" and even then the term used to describe that is FPV
When people say helicopters are more expensive to crash I bet that pilot who flew this must be saying in his head please please don't go haywire on me I would be scared to fly a 100k jet turbines helicopters take skill planes take even more money to get into the air
Why would they be illegal in the USA. You should talk to the thousands of RC model builders who FLY every weekend across the USA. Convince them YOU THINK they are illegal. :)
OK don't BS me ! you got money. So why didn't you added a FPV pod and a auto gps return to this plane? your landings will improve 100% no no... excuses ! just do it.
Because, even if the plane is beautifull, they did not make a retractable gear... Perhaps is it too heavy or too complex... But that's a pity because this f16 is splendid !!!
On a MAIDEN FLIGHT, as the description says it is, you may not elect to check out the LG, or other non flight essential items. You really only want to make sure the plane flies and you can control it. Most of the time on a maiden flight is trimming it for perfect control. He needed more work on landings. That landing was way too fast rate of descent on the approach. By now he probably has it down pat.
I imagine your nerves got the better of you. It's a beautiful jet and I'm sure lots of time and money invested. Good work on the engineering and paint job. I'm sure by now you realized you needed a lower rate of descent probably meaning more speed on the approach. By now you probably have it down solid.
NICE! Hay at 3:42 is that you saying thank good I did not crash that 10 grand worth of toy because the wife would beat you within an inch of your life? LOL
PABLO ARVELO I know your comment is 3 years old but it's also in the top 5... This was his maiden flight. Of course he needs to practice landing that beautiful plane of his
Yea it was, but I can say that whenever you do a maiden flight on a bird you put a lot of time and money in to, your nerves are on edge the whole time, come landing time your nervousness hits a peak. I've only crashed one bird on the maiden flight landing, and that was only because the factory CG point was way off and it flew horrible.
Randomnick123 Oh please. if you can land a plane, you can land a plane. It was a crap landing, whether it was his first flight on the plane or not. He should have come in with more speed and a slower rate of descent with such a big runway & the ability to use brakes.

3:18 - Ryanair: *You've got the job.*
That's a bash on Ryanair. This dude shouldn't even have been piloting a sig kadet.
Would that plane have the power to carry a small payload? Something like a, oh I don't know, maybe a cat strapped to the top?
i've seen Rc planes pull up a sail plane.
you tit............
a few hand grenades to have your own bomber drone is way better than carrying a cat, that's just animal cruelty :(
This is an F-16, not an F-14
VancouverCanucksRock Thanks tips... Where do you see it listed as an f14 tho??
Funny thing is, Tom Cruise can actually fit in it
Imagine flying that over an airforce base.
It looks so realistic.
I was at a Airshow once, where the guys were flying this RC Jets and you couldn't tell the difference.
Looks like too much fun, so I guess it's banned in Australia

Aerodynamics are not the same for smaller aircraft. This Guy did really well as a hobbyist who spent a pretty penny to achieve this.
Can we address the whole camera man fainting thing? I'm intrigued.
Yeah. What the hell was that about? Like right at the moment of liftoff? Totally suspicious. Like hiding or protecting something. Also it looked like it was about to go off the runway just then. I thought they were gonna have a do-over or something.
Anddddd flagged...

Totally fake, hence the lie about camera man.
You would think they would just get another video of it taking off. It means the plane crashed or something shortly after and they didn't want you to see it. a new video will come out once they build another one ;)
I've never flown one of these... How do people fly them so accurately when they're far away? Is there a camera mounted somewhere?
Not sure if there are civilian models with cameras, but most if not all of these hobbyists fly without camera.

Love love love the paint job and the plane is bad ass perfect...
When are we going to have RC aircraft carriers to carry squadrons of these F-16s?
I wonder if you can sit on that thing and fly :D
Logan in 1st Xmen: "You call that a landing"? Nice!! Jet though!!
Why did the pilot fly with the landing gear down? Must have been a bit leary of flying all out.
Does the landing gear actually retract on these RC planes? Non the less these things are awesome.
Maybe because it was test flight, don't know.
Landing gear is usually left down on maiden flights

How much money did this thing cost to build?
+Nick Joslin 1000000000000$
Just the turbine can cost from $4000-6000 dollars the rest of the plane another $10,000.
+Nick Joslin I don't think it matters...it was a personal achievement.
+TheEljash 16 thousand dollars and they landed it like that?!?!?! That was the worst landing I've ever seen
Landing is the most dangerous.
So..you put pictures in the most interesting parts.........great..... just great.....
Someone needs to teach the pilot about the whole leveling off, bleeding airspeed, and flaring the aircraft, part of landing.
First time landing, I'm sure there's a pretty steep learning curve on how much ground effect the unit will produce.
What? XD It's an F-16 not a Pilatus. It's going to land like a missle, not float. He basically drove the thing right into the ground. If you're new to landing a jet aircraft you should land long or make some go arounds. Better to balloon then smack the deck with any aircraft. At least if you balloon you can power up and go around and there is that kind of power in RC. Once you nail the deck hard it's over.

Nice sound track... the ultimate fling
somebody should just build a 1:1 scale model already..
Pretty sure there are restrictions on the size/weight that RC planes can be before you would need a pilots license to fly them.
anthonyd5189 You would want a pilot's certificate just for the sake of not crashing.
batteries for your controller $8. a new camera to film the video with $400. a 1/4 scale model of a f16. about 1/4 the cost of a full sized one.
Outstanding achievement!
It's REALLY not that hard to make a good video without such idiocy as "cameraman fainted" and instead substituting still photos. I stopped watching at that point

Excellent video !!. Congratulations !!!
Only in Europe...this would be illegal in the USA I think.
Looks cool as shit
Ya, I think the FAA has it to where drones need to get permission before flying now. I'd assume this would only be the same with the FAA.
DamnlagTV they have only regulated airspace for drones within a 5 mile radius of airfields and 10 from military bases
DamnlagTV The FAA wanted to impose laws on RC planes/helicoptes but the NTSB came back and said the laws were unenforceable. Drone is the technical term for an unmanned "surveillance" and/or combat vehicle. Only when a camera is mounted to a RC plane does it technically become a "drone" and even then the term used to describe that is FPV
When people say helicopters are more expensive to crash I bet that pilot who flew this must be saying in his head please please don't go haywire on me I would be scared to fly a 100k jet turbines helicopters take skill planes take even more money to get into the air

Gear up !!!
Nooooo... Gear down on maiden flights.
Ryan Powell Why?
Because, even if the plane is beautifull, they did not make a retractable gear... Perhaps is it too heavy or too complex... But that's a pity because this f16 is splendid !!!
It was the maiden flight(:so gears stays down.
Question is : is there a retractable gear ???
He's Finnish! :O
I wonder if that engine would keep a full size glider and its pilot airborne ? Or once its towed up to a high altitude it would sustain flight ?
looks like exactly same with F16
cool but the gear didin't go up
It's and intended precaution on any maiden flight (look at maiden flights of civil and military planes and u will see).
GOD...That is such a beautiful plane!!!
Dutch paint-job is the same as the F-16 in my X-Plane sim

And you could do any better? Of course not, you don't own one
That thing is hugh. Most Country would think they were under attack and shoot her down. can almost fit in the cockpit. ha
Almost fit in the cockpit? You can barely fit your head in there.
that is the coolest thing I have ever seen. little rough on landing but he did not crash it.........

I've only crashed one bird on the maiden flight landing, and that was only because the factory CG point was way off and it flew horrible.
What a crap landing!
What a crap comment. First flight is a first flight.
Randomnick123 Oh please. if you can land a plane, you can land a plane. It was a crap landing, whether it was his first flight on the plane or not. He should have come in with more speed and a slower rate of descent with such a big runway & the ability to use brakes.
ThrottleWFO Ok, you done now?
I wouldnt call it crap but that did hit very hard.
Yep. Liitlebit too less angle of attack, and high speed. Thats why it jumped so high.
Does it break the sound barrier? Any thoughts on the actual velocity?
Too bad the retract gear didn't work :(
