Hello Dom! I follow your chanel, great videos and better comments. Thanks to share your knowledge and experience! I have just purchased the FMS F16 Falcon 80mm....and would be my FIRST EVER JET....and now I think I was too pretentious. Im an 'average' pilot on rc for warbirds, like Airacobra Eflite or mustang. But maybe this beast, Falcon 80mm is not the best way to start in EDF jets. What do you think as per your experience. I mean, can a 'pilot' for helix propeller planes, try an EDF like this with success? Or should I start with (for example) a Viper or a Freewing L39 albatros. Do you think there is big difference to start, an L39 compared to this FMS 80mm F16? And second question is, I see you use as electronics, a receiver FrSky X8R, linked to a Reflex Gyro from FMS. Why not for example a unique receiver like S8R Frsky which contains the gyro stabilization in? (all-in-one). Think the Reflex gyro is better...when used with this EDF jets? Just to understand. Many thanks...also to make me reconsider (or not) and avoid me crash this beautiful jet in 10 seconds ;)
I would recommend you fly something a bit slower first. A high wing trainer or a cheap ready to fly aeroplane just to get used to flying a fixed wing model. Do that before you fly an EDF jet. My son in law is a drone pilot and he needs a few more trainer flights before he flies a jet for the first time. If a jet already comes with a gyro (e.g. Reflex) then no reason to add a stabilised receiver like S8R.
thank you to answer me! Anyway...I think we missed something here or maybe not explained myself clear. Why you recommend a high wing model...when I already fly a warbird like airacobra?? Just for me to understand. How that, will help me when taking my first EDF jet? My question was more in the sense...if the F16 Falcon 80mm is appropriate as first jet, and any chance to fly it, take off and landing on maiden flight. OR is definetely better to start in EDF with, lets say...an l39 Albatros...Im not new in rc flight, its just that I will try my first jet, after flying helix propeller planes....thanks. Toni. @@EssentialRC
