CRASH of my Eflite F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm

- This was the last flight of my beautiful Eflite F-16 Thunderbirds 80mm jet. Lamentably my Spektrum iX20SE radio went bad right after taking off on my second flight with my friend Oscar, causing my jet to lose thrust and crash. Sorry, I forgot to record the crash site.
The radio was sent to Horizon Hobby and they later determined that the radio's RF Module was defective. They installed a new RF Module and the radio is now working perfectly fine. Too bad that there's no way to claim the cost of the lost aircraft to anybody... Lamentably that's the DARK Side of our beloved hobby.

Thanks for Watching!
Thanks for taking the time to edit and post this one Ricky! To be honest I love what the big box Rc store has done for our hobby. They keep entry accessible and easier than other companies. But, I’ve quickly learned once you start getting into more advanced planes they just don’t meet our needs as easily. While my NX10 is being repaired I’ve bought a frsky x20s and some sr10 receivers for testing out and so far cost, setup wise and signal reliability they blow our well known brand out of the water. All my new planes will be getting them now. I’m tired of not having as many options as possible with overpriced outdated technology
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your much-appreciated comment. 😀... I hear you, man... These companies have a very strong monopoly, technology-wise, and most of us fall for it... It's like the never-ending Android/Apple dilemma about which one is better, right! 🤦🏾♂️...
I've heard many good things about FrSky... I might give it a try in the near future...😁👍🏾
Have a great rest of your day. 😀...Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Sorry to see your F-16 go down like that.Good luck with the new radio,and thanks for sharing this,Ricky.
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your much-appreciated comment...😊 I know, men, I'm still in shock over the way my beautiful jet went down... That sucks, but that's how our beloved hobby is... The Dark Side of our hobby claimed my beautiful jet as a sacrifice.
Thanks again for your comment. Have a great rest of your day 😀 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Oh Ricky…… That is so sad! Don’t blame you for replacing it. I would too.
I know, my friend... And the saddest part was that the crash wasn't caused by pilot error...😢 I'm happy now with my iX14... I hope this new one won't follow in the footsteps of its older brother... Lol 😁🤞🏾🤞🏾
Thanks for your always-appreciated comment, my friend. 😁 I hope you recover from your procedure quickly...🙏
By the way, I just finished posting a short that you might enjoy...😁
Have a great rest of your night. 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona. 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Sorry for the crash buddy
Thank you very much for your much-appreciated comment, my friend. 😁 I truly appreciate your support. What can I say? We are all subject to falling victim to the Dark Side of our hobby sometime during our journey.😁
Have a great rest of your day 😀 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Sorry that happened to you Ricky, the F-16 is a beautiful jet.
Thank you very much for your always-appreciated comment, CVO. Yes, sir, it was a beautiful jet. I might get an ARF Plus and install my wrecked one's guts. I mean, what caused the crash wasn't pilot error but a faulty radio, and there's no way to avoid that happening to any of us. That's why I'll eventually get another one. Have a great rest of your day, my friend. 😊

Oh, Ricky, I’m so very sorry this happened to your beautiful F-16 Thunderbird. It definitely was NOT pilot error. Unfortunately this is one of the saddest part of our hobby. I know what a great pilot you are from watching your previous videos. 😢😢😢
I'm sure what planet you parachuted in from. There's no DARKSIDE to the RC hobby, only happy little accidents...
😅😅😅 I like your way of thinking, but believe me, there is a very dark side to our hobby, and this was a clear example of it... Sometimes those little happy accidents as you called them can cost a few hundred if not thousands of dollars to replace... I mean, if it happens because of pilot error, it's easier to take, but when the dark side claims a sacrifice, that's when it really sucks...👍🏾
Thanks for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment 😀... Have a great rest of your day 👍🏾 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
That sux. That was a good looking jet. Sorry about your failure 😔
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your much-appreciated comment, my friend. 😁 No one is exempt from a similar situation in this hobby. The Dark Side of our hobby claimed a sacrifice that day, and it was my plane's turn... You are right, it sucks when it happens, but what can we do, right? You are right, that F16 was beautiful. I'm thinking about getting the ARF+ version of it and just installing the wrecked one's power plant and having it in my hangar once again.😁
Thanks again for your comment 👍🏾 😊 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Spektrum iX seems like they all got their own quirks.(heard stories) sorry for the Loss
Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your much-appreciated comment, my friend. 😁 My iX20SE was already 1 year old when it first went bad last December, 2023. On that occasion, the right side gimbal failed, and the radio wasn't sending elevator or aileron signals. Ironically and luckily for me at the same time, on that occasion, I discovered that faulty gimbal after I landed my beautiful Freewing F-18 90mm Blue Angels on her maiden flight day. Imagine if that had happened while I was flying my jet...😱 I sent it for repairs the next day, and HH replaced the faulty gimbal at no cost to me. After that, the radio worked perfectly fine for five more months, then this happened...🤦🏾♂️😱🤦🏾♂️ I not only lost my Thunderbirds but my beautiful F22 90mm as well before I figured out that the radio was the one that was defective...😱 In other words, after almost $1k in losses, I figured out that the faulty piece of this puzzle was my radio...🤦🏾♂️
I got a new iX14 and will be selling the iX20SE on ebay soon...
Thanks again for your comment my friend 😁... Have a great rest of your day 😀 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Randy we were getting worried about you. Hey and have a great weekend. Jeff
@@JeffinLowerAlabama thnxs jeff. health is on a decline, due to living hard, ive been on antibiotics 7 days, off a fews day, resting good now, still not able to cook meals, so im catch what come easy, the angel of death keeps knocking, tell all the guys im still kicking and fighting LoL
@rhuffines13 God will keep you safe and restore your health in no time, my friend. Stay positive, and you will be back to your normal life soon. 🙏😊👍🏾
Damn Ricky! Sorry to hear about that.! Yes I stopped trusting my IX radio. So much I left Spektrum altogether. Lost a bit of money bc that radio. Hoping the best on your ne IX14!!!! BTW what are all the new buildings? And wire fence at the field? 🇺🇲👊👍🇺🇲👊👍
Thank you very much for your always-appreciated comment, John 😁. The radio is already fixed, but I'm going to sell it and just keep the iX14. That happened about three weeks before your Warbird event, but I didn’t have time to edit the video.
About those trailers, well, part of the airport is for sale, and all that area is part of it. The soon-to-be owner started bringing in his construction crew, and that's their construction command center.
Thanks again for your comment, my friend. Have a great rest of your day! 😀 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Ricky that just stinks. HH should have offered something for your F16. We spend a lot of money at HH. Jeff in LA USA
Thank you very much for your always-appreciated comment, Jeff 😁. Yes, sir, I totally agree with you. As a matter of fact, when I chatted with them about it, I was expecting at least a discount offer for a new F16, but they never did. When I mentioned it, they just told me that they don't give discounts for crashed aircraft. You are right again about all the money we have spent on their products. If you take a close look at my hangar, I would say that there are a few thousand dollars worth of aircraft and all the related gear, with Eflite and Freewing equally balanced, followed by FMS and OMPHOBBY. All my aircraft run Spektrum receivers as well, and not the cheap ones... At least they repaired the radio at no cost to me, but the crashed aircraft’s cost for repairs or replacement relied on me.😵💫
Have a great rest of your day 😀... Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷
Oh no!!!! Muchas gracias por presentar este video para nosotros. Lo siento mucho por la perdida del aparato. Me gustaria ver,si hay una manera que podemos saber lo que esactamente pasó. Pues fuè esactamente luego del despegue. Estaba super cerca el aparato. Me pregunto si es la posicion donde ustedes normalmente se paran. Me a pasado con mis Drones,especialmente cuando estaba tratando de entender GPS y eso con los Drones... pasè sustos,donde el Drone,perdió señal,pero tampoco hizo el RTH (Return To Home)
Puedo ver la pasion que tienes por tus aparatos,y hasta un solo guayacito uno se siente un poco frustrado,imaginate estrellarlo.
Muchísimas gracias x haber visitado mi canal y haber dejado tu muy apreciado comentario hermano 😊 La verdad q hay cosas en este hobby q nos agarran x sorpresa y no hay forma de evitarlas, y este es el claro ejemplo d una de esas veces. El problema no fue la pérdida de señal enteramente como lo pensé yo en un principio. Nuestros radios son lo q se le conoce en inglés como Full Range, osea q son de larga distancia, así q no importa desde donde estes transmitiendo, se supone q la conexión de señal entre el radio y el avión sea sólida. Si te fijas, solo el canal del motor fue el q dejo de funcionar...los demás canales aun funcionaban. X eso pude lograr q el avión volteara de regreso a la pista, pero como no tenía potencia en el motor y tampoco tenía mucha velocidad, pues simplemente se cayó y se estrelló.
Luego de ésto envié el radio a Horizon Hobby para q lo revisaran y repararan y fue entonces q ellos descubrieron q el transmisor de radio frecuencia de mi radio estaba defectuoso y se lo pusieron nuevo... Asi descubrí q mi radio fue el causante de la pérdida de mi avion. Lo malo es q ellos no se responsabilizan x los daños del avion...Esa es la parte trizte del asunto😢... Nimodo así es este hobby hermano...😁
Q tengas un excelente resto de tu dia 😁 Un saludo cordial desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 😁👍🏾🇵🇷
Joder Ricky!! Te acompaño en tu pérdida… pero que bien que has comprado reemplazo de inmediato y ahora estás OK con la radio. No pensaría que una radio de ese coste le pudiese pasar algo así. Yo tengo una DX8G2 y por suerte solo se me apagó una vez cuando la batería tenía algo de capacidad y se me cayó un Yak54 de E-Flite a 30 cm del carro de la empresa 🤣 Yo también había pensado un poco en pasarme a FrSky pero cambios los RXs me sale mucho así que he desistido… Igual la otra vez me salió un error raro en la radio pero pude rescatar los 24 modelos configurados y con un update al parecer se arregló…. SALUDOS y que tengas un muy buen fin de semana! Anoche compré en AliExpress de nuevo Escs para 6S 150A y 8S125A y una cámara para hacer algún buen video :))
Muchísimas gracias x haber dejado tu muy apreciado comentario hermano 😁 Q puedo decir...Asi es nuestro hobby q no!...En veces un día perfecto de repente se nos daña x una cosa u otra q no podemos controlar...Y ese día le tocó el turno a mi avión x q el radio se dañó en el momento menos esperado...🤦🏾♂️ Lo malo es q los radios te los arreglan,pero quien te paga los daños a los aviones, q no! 😱🤦🏾♂️... Nimodo, asi es nuestro hobby...😁 El lado Oscuro reclamó otro sacrificio y esta vez lo fue mi jet...☠️😁...
Muchísimas gracias de nuevo por tu muy apreciado comentario 😁 Q tengas un excelente resto de tu noche/dia...Saludos desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 😊👍🏾🇵🇷
@@ricardopr54 claro… pero no hay manera de pegar? Seguro que el tubo se ha quebrado, pero yo he pegado muchos fuselajes y queda bastante bien 👍🏼
@@ricardopr54 pero te falló solo el canal del acelerador?
@ficosk8 ASÍ es hermano...X eso viste q pude tratar de traermelo de regreso a la pista,pero no tenía suficiente altura ni velocidad para regresar y pues el avión simplemente se cayó... 😱🤦🏾♂️ Horizon Hobby dijo q el modulo generator de radio frecuencia de mi radio estaba defectuoso y le instalaron uno nuevo. Pero el daño ya estaba hecho y perdí mi avion...🤦🏾♂️😢...
Gracias de nuevo x comentar hermano... Un saludo cordial desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 😊👍🏾🇵🇷
@@ficosk8El plastic donde va atornillada el ala se partio del fuselage... Para repararlo tendría q comprar una ala nueva y un fuselaje y transplantar todo lo electronico al nuevo fuselage. Este avión tiene un spaghetti de cables horrible... Sería un proyecto muy difícil para mi... X eso eventualmente comprare el modelo al q solo hay q ponerle el motor, el receiver y el ESC y asi volver a tener mi hermoso jet...Pero éste no se podía pegar... Y comprar el fuselage, el ala, la nariz, y el canopy iba a salir mas caro, q comprar el avión nuevo sin el motor...👍🏾😊 Q tengas un excelente dia hermano 😊👍🏾 Saludos desde Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾😊🇵🇷
