- Sadly Mike beautiful Skymaster F-4 went down when we went to the hotel for a quick shower. this is the last video of it flying. #bestinthewest #Skymaster #f4 #f4phantom #turbine #rcturbine #rcturbinejet #rcjetrally #kingtech #swiwinturbine #swiwinjetengine #swiwin160turbine
I spent 3 years of my 4 years on the Flight Deck of the USS Midway CV-41 in V-1 Division. 1981 to 1984 and as for F-4 squadrons: VMFP-3 Marine Recon, VF -151, and VF-161 were there when I was there. After I left, they changed over to FA-18 Squadrons. Nice to see the RC video, reminded me a little of F-4 sorties.
I have also flown the F4 in RC, They do try their best to get them as accurate as possible. Every scale detail, every flight characteristic, and even every bad tendency. I love the Marine liveries a lot ❤️ thanks for watching brother 🙏
Loved how you greased that landing. Outstanding model and flight ✈️ 👍
Phantoms Phorever!
Thank you but it was my friend Mike Adams.
That was some treat. Beautifully executed flight. What a wonderful job you have done on this aircraft. I have looked up many times an have seen this wonderful silhouette passing overhead. Thank you for sharing and bringing back some stored memories.
You're most welcome, We had a great time at the event. The airboss did a great job of grabbing as much video as possible!
Dye that white smoke black, and I'd believe it was real. Had F-4Es at Korat, D models at RAF Bentwaters / Woodbridge. All of them belched a black exhaust trail. Easy to pick up an inbound flight, just look north and watch for the black cloud. to appear. Beautiful aircraft, coupled with some great flying.
Yeah it flew magnificently
@@victorrcjets7660 What got me interested in watching it, the take off. For those unfamiliar with a full-size F-4, the thrust line of the engines actually points down. In full burner, the pilot has to overcome this and hauls the stick full up. The forces on the stab will overcome the down thrust and get it airborne. Once airborne, he can release, so the sharp takeoff, then leveling out, is very scale.
I said the same thing about the black smoke, that would put the cherry on top of the realism cake.
@@iamtuben2 I can remember having a strike force out, and when waiting for their return, all you had to do is look north, and watch for the black cloud of jet exhaust on the horizon. Then it was counting individual trails as they approached the base, and confirmation that they all made it back, or how many we lost. The North Vietnamese military didn't need radar, just good eyes and watch for the black cloud.
As I witnessed in their RAAF (Australian) service, just look for the bright landing light trailing black smoke!!
That ain't no parkflyer. That thing looks like a credible threat to half the nation's airforces. Good gravy!
Thanks for watching
Dammmm! If there was no mention that this is an RC or the size comparison on safety staff by this modeI, i would think this was a full size F4....even the rumble of those turbines...u feel it! Just incredible....so enjoyable to watch! Amazing flying & landing!
Yes skymaster is RC jet maker. Thank you for watching 🙂
Awesome! Fear the Bones!"
Thanks for watching
Where's the smoke trail? Beautiful RCs, well flown.
It really depends on what you use for smoke oil.
@@victorrcjets7660 I was teasing, but I'm just used to old smokey J-79s leaving their mark on the sky.
Beautiful jet and flight! That dusty environment makes me cringe, though, thinking about the dust getting sucked up into the turbines.
Yeah it is a great site despite the dustiness. Even the gear on both my turbine jets needed to be cleaned badly.
Zoom zoom zoom fun, Jeff in LA USA
I'm glad you enjoyed it
What a fantastic display! I'm still trying to fly my little training RC taildragger with auto-stabilize without boring a hole in the ground. This is the kind of RC flying skill that I aspire to achieve in the next hundred years or so.
Try to fly everyday and try to utilize the simulator. I have been flying 29 years myself.
Great plane, nicely flown, but the title is clickbait. No need to put RIP in it, if there‘s no footage of the crash.
Doesn't seem to affect the amount views. 😕
Hey photographer! Don't use autofocus! Just sayin'...
Check the latest video, this was done long ago.
What an outstanding performance of this F-4 Phantom. Plus a butter smooth landing. It doesn't get any better than this. Absolutely magnificent in every respect.
Thank you for watching
@@victorrcjets7660 Very welcome.
Absolutely the BEST RC Scale airmanship I have ever witnessed!!
Yes I want one someday
Based on the title, I thought we were going to see it make a smoking hole in the ground. Disappointed.
Yeah I understand people want to see carnage
Nothing like the sound of baby J-79's !!!🤣
for sure dude!
I've been a lover of the F-4 since I saw my first one in 1968 and VF84 the Jolly Rogers is absolutely my favorite navy squadron marking of all time. The jet is beautiful the pilot obviously knows his stuff and that landing was a thing of beauty! Nicely done I'd like to see some up close pictures of this model well done.
We took a few pictures but mostly video.
I'm also a fan of the F-4, even before I saw one fly. I got to see it in action in that same year, sat in it, photographed it on the ground and generally admired its beauty.
Auto focus & small fast moving objects DON'T mix unless you are using very high end equipment.
Yes only Simi high end, clouds and sun make it hard or something in the way like people walking past.
😮It looks like the nose gear is in the extended position as is for a catapult launch. (Former F4J plane captain). Have a nice day.
Yeah the r c version has needed some adaptations to function properly
I could never get so involved with this activity because I could never recover after s crash, looks fun no doubt but also don't have the cash flow.....are the aircraft insured by am insurance company? I've heard some RC can cost upwards of 10 grand?
There's no such thing as crash insurance, Airplanes can cost this cheapest a $100 for sure it can go up significantly for like a turbine. There are much cheaper turbines set up though like 6K. But sure they can go up even more than 10K like more like 30K!
"Sadly Mike's beautiful Skymaster F-4 went down when we went to the hotel for a quick shower. This is the last video of it flying."
Maybe he should have been controlling it instead of showering with you.
Hahaha 😆 I was talking about my wife and I not Mike and I Hahaha! But I Never asked him! Yet!!!
Absolutely top of the hobby,I would get an ulcer just starting the engines..
thanks for watching!
All this beautiful ✈️ is missing, a camera on-board 🙏❤️
I wish too
F-4 is proof that with strong enough engines, even a brick can fly.
They were plenty fast enough under power, just couldn't turn well as a mig-21.
"Sadly Mike beautiful Skymaster F-4 went down when we went to the hotel for a quick shower." .......... Please elaborate.
You can ask the owner
@@victorrcjets7660 Oi vey!
That looked more like an Air Force landing than a Navy one.;-)
Beautiful F-4 so beautifully flown. So sad to hear it was lost.
Yes the 2 main days was going to be great if it didn't. We took the golden hour flying of it too because the NAV lights on it are fantastic 😎
I'm not an RC guy so this is probably a stupid question, but just what kind of MPH can these things hit?
Around 170mph
548 mph, glider, dynamic soaring
worked on them in the air force during vietnam conflict worked on the D,C the RF and the E model,,,,,great aircraft
I'm glad you appreciate seeing it in an RC version, we as modelers love to show how beautiful they where!
I failed to mention l been flying
Rc now going on 40 years in fact
Got rc f4 myself, keep up the good
Work
Beautiful model, excellent flying as well. from an old aircraft maintainer, everything looks great.
Yeah quite a few RC pilots are also full scale pilots.
Beautiful. Only this missing is the black exhaust.
We're trying to use cleaner fuels. I use kerosene.
The ultimate achievement for any RC modeller. Fantastic aircraft and flying presentation. Best I've seen in my 50 years of RC flying. Congratulations are definitely in order.
Thanks for watching
FYI...I believe "AE" is Carrier Ar Wing 6.
Oh yeah 😎
Super model and nice to see ‘scale’ take off.
For sure John
Great aircraft …needs trailing smoke…lol
Rc smoke trails are not the same everyone use different smoke oil depending on what your using for fuel. I use Kerosene.
AWESOME!!! One of the best flying I've ever seen.👍👍
Thanks for watching
Amazing flight! What field?
Button Willow California
That was a BOSS flying display. Awesome plane...
Thanks joe Mike is a great pilot
F4 and F14 are my favorites.
I got Steve's tomcat on our Playlist too.
Mike flew this Phantom so well, I have one myself, any idea what happened?
Do you know what lights Mike installed across the top of his F-4, they're super bright and I wouldn't mind a set on mine?
The Kings Canyon video you shot of it was awesome!
I do not know exactly what happened I didn't want a bug Mike. I agree it has great lights, Is not sure about what brand. Because yeah we enjoyed video tape video taping the the golden hour at the event 😀
@@victorrcjets7660 Hi Victor, that's fair enough and understandable. If you see him, let him know that his videos have been an inspiration, they've really kept me going with mine! Take care.
just love the Adams and the team, amazing family
for sure, thanks for watching!
Incredible how real it is . . . . wow, congratulation! How fast is max flight speed of this RC aircraft?
I would say probably about 160 to 170 depending on if you're dropping down
@@victorrcjets7660 Thx for your reply!
Beautiful bird! I often just fast forward to the end to watch the landing,and as redairt4 said,you really greased it!
Yes it's hard to not wanna watch the whole thing completely action packed!
Great plane but really utterly fantastic piloting. If one was to tune into this video in the middle they could be forgiven for thinking they where watching a real F4 going through its paces.
Yes, exactly!
I'll bet this guy don't have Parkinsons
What kind of engines are in that F-4 phantom
I would have to ask Mike.
Are they real turbine engines?
That landing was smooth.
Why did it crash?
He didn't really elaborate
What a gorgeous model of one of my favourite aircraft, expertly flown and such a smooth landing!
For sure!
How fast does it fly?
Around 160mph level flight.
GREASY! 😋😎
Thanks for watching brother
Beautiful aircraft (having worked on the real thing) just needs a center line tank or a suu -23a gun ,,,,awesome,
They look good for static, But the F4 Really prefers to be flown clean.
Wow! That thumbnail pic looks like the real deal. Beautiful video of a classic jet fighter. 😄👍❤️
Thanks for watching
Amazing pilot. Beautiful performance.
Thanks for watching
I watched it again! The jet looks very fast and flies so calm at the same time. Slow during landing. Thumbs up!!
Thank you for watching
Nice flying, but the "RIP" was clickbait.
It's gone through Dan...
Masterpiece, sad that this was the last flight!
A truly beautiful get hard to not want to watch it, We tried to film it as much as we could.
The F-4 certainly has a unique look. Where was the event held? Thank you
This was Best in the west jet rally in Buttonwillow California. We have a Playlist on the channel of all the video we took.
I think that’s the best flying RC plane I’ve seen. The good ones make it look easy.
Mike is a great pilot if you look back at my older video of his flying.
Very nice!
Thank you for watching Don
Beautiful airplane - beautiful landing!
Always he did a great show
It didn't really look like an F-4 until he turned on the smoke.
it is a F-4 though, a RC VERSION! Different fuel and smoke oil so make a smoke trail.
sweet!!
For sure
Sweet ship and great flying... Phantoms Forever!
Yes I always enjoyed flying mine! I love Mike's F4 though maybe someday I will build one as big!
Damn good flying and I worked on the real ones . Wild weasels
wow Wild weasels F-4C huh!
Best warplane ever built. I wish they would bring it back better than ever!
I definitely agree with that! She is a sexi beast!
"Jolly Rancher"
Jolly Roger 😊
@@victorrcjets7660 The F-4, one of the most beautiful airframes to ever be designed.
here's a nice screen saver:

I am glad it was a "rip" and not the end of the plane, as "RIP" seemed to hint at. Great flight demo!
I wish that was not true but sadly it was lost the next day.
@@victorrcjets7660 Oh darn, so the RIP does apply here, that's sad...
Beautiful model, and awesome aircraft.
Indeed! that's why we try to grab Mike's flights!
Great pilot and wonderful Phantom.
For sure dude
I am in awe. Wow!
we always feel like that each time he flew it. He flew it so well at the Kings Canyon event too!
Sure is great to see AND hear a real jet...well done.
We enjoy that turbine sound!
Awesome model. Why dose nobody do the RF-4B unarmed camera platform ?
I always like to see the unique models.
@@victorrcjets7660 well i hz e been trying the YRF-4E. And the oroject worked fine on a 1/32 scale, flew a good ways had to jumo the fen e to avoid neighbors dog.. but every attemot at a larger scale, has been doomed then the air force sdnt the real plane out for new paint 11 years ago. Think ill reshape the nose and fill in the weapons points on a F4E sitting in my basement twon 70 mm edf. Take care
Beautiful! Looks a lot like the ones I used to repair.
Skymaster does take a long time to try to get it right.
Talk about a perfect landing!
for sure dude!
Outstanding, love F4s
Yeah who wouldn't
PERFECT. Top Notch all around.
Oh yes
WOW that was to say the least fantastic.
always when he flies!
where can I go to see this demonstration?
Any rc field
Now that was some beautiful flying!
Agreed 👍
Gorgeous!!!
For sure
Amazing!!!
Thank you for watching!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks for watching
They may have been huge, and not very maneuverable, but damn they were sexy. Nice model. Only one problem, no smoke coming out the rear.
Yes the rc world its hard to duplicate that level of reality 😕
Well done 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching
Wow! what a machine!
Indeed! thanks for watching!
👍👌💥💯
Thank you for watching
What a beautiful craft and display! I don't even know where to begin, torn equally between the master-level build and the piloting.
Sad to hear of this build going down, hope it is salvageable.
Best wishes to Mike Adams!
Yes we always enjoyed filming it
Awesome flight!!!
The jet is great. The video work is crap.
Thanks we tired
so do better always easy to knock someone else. let's see your skills.

Nice
Always beautiful when It flew
