3:58 "Cause it looks terrible without the pilot." Amen to that! It's not a scale plane without a pilot. Thanks, FMS for including pilots in your planes. Cheers!
Hello! 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 had reflex switched off for the whole flight. I'll do another video very soon to show how superb it is at high alpha. Even better than the FMS Rafale which really surprised me and with a lot more power to push out of it. No surprise with it being 6S and a 70mm fan.
Great flying dom I would like one of these but then again I like all rc planes lol it’s a bloody addiction, need a warehouse for the amount I like lol😂
@@EssentialRC yeah mine are dotted around house I’ve even had to do loft lol I used keep in shed but the damp gets into the servos it’s cold in loft but at least no moisture I’m in a battle with a mouse at moment he had gnawed couple box’s but with my peanut butter trap for him he will be evicted 😂
Analog FPV maybe because it can be light but I only do DJI FPV and this is too small for that. The weight of the DJI camera/air unit would make it difficult, if not impossible, to get the CG balance.
@EssentialRC they have analog adapters for the dji goggles. Probly not really worth doing on that model anyway. Especially since you have some great models already set up. I'm planning on making my flex rv8 and my great planes citabria fpv ready. I have high hopes for the citabria with its realistic dashboard. It should look awesome as long as I can see thru the windows
They don't sell it ready to fly with battery, transmitter and receiver. You would need to buy those. I recommend the RadioMaster TX16S or Boxer, Frsky X8R or X6R receiver and a 6S4000 60C lipo

Great Idea on the Map pins for CG....
Thanks again ! Looks like a cool build, I would love to tune on one. Thank you for the link.
Awesome. I’m certainly going to be getting one this coming spring
This is one of my favorite EDF 70mm jets, I have two. Another is the FMS F18F.
It's crazy good. Not enjoyed flying a 70mm EDF jet like that in a long time.
Nice addition to the fleet!
It sure is!
ye looks cool
Very nice Jet 👍
Awesome!

Was the great high alpha because of good flying plane or more the reflex stabilization ?

now it is for quite good price

I currently use 3 rooms in my house. It can get a bit silly 😜

Awesome video
Thanks!
Fpv it? X8r is my go to rx also. Except for my small planes I'll use the rx6r. Iv had great luck with them. Only recievers you'll find in my fleet

Is there a version of the F-16, READY TO FLY with FPV?
No. I don't know anyone that sells models with FPV. We retrofit DJI Digital FPV air units to ours.
How much is this plane READY TO FLY?
They don't sell it ready to fly with battery, transmitter and receiver. You would need to buy those. I recommend the RadioMaster TX16S or Boxer, Frsky X8R or X6R receiver and a 6S4000 60C lipo
This looks a lot like the Eflite 70 mm F-16, at least the way assembly goes
Well...think I did hear that FMS makes some of Horizon Hobbies stuff so no surprise there.
Maybe you landed it too hard and the canopy bounces off.
Ohh here we go again...every time I watch your clips my bank account suffers 👍👍👍
Sorry ! 🤣
