Nice bird and almost a good landing. These vids on what NOT to do are more helpful than the no-crash vids IMHO. Knowing how a bird reacts to things like flaps, gear down, in normal flight is helpful. In a tail-heavy situation like this, knowing if the nose will pitch up or down when flaps are deployed, can make the difference in whether or not to use them. Gotta keep up speed in a tail-heavy bird, with special attention on the turns. Goosing the throttle could also pitch the bird up into a stall or twist it to one side if it's a big prop. I found being gentle in tail-heavy situations might help you might get it back on the ground in one piece.
I'm surprised as of this writing no one has jumped on you about the CG. A lesson learned but with only minor damage. To bad you guys don't have a paved runway.
You took off into the wind then landed the f16 the opposite direction going with the wind. Maybe this helped add to the stall. Oh well it happens to the best of us.
Thanks man, I was too excited about doing a Maiden Flight and the field was the soggiest I've seen!! But ya live and learn and at the end of the day...its only foam lol
it's the 6S version with the high Performance FMS EDF system and 150 amp esc..the field was soggy wet and I noticed that debris was all sucked in the EDF unit.
Sure your right, but with time in the hobby you learn. And for me, I did hear a few red flags. And due to my mistakes I try to listen to my red flags and don't fly if that's the case.
@@NiclasHorn Nah, just read the comments for the video. All the perfect pilots, who make no mistakes and never crash are here and more than happy to tell you exactly what you did wrong!
You definitely should have reinforced the nose at least! On the meeting you should have kept it short leaving sometime for going around to get a better position. I definitely would have reversed the pattern so you are not losing air speed at the wrong time.
Not an viable option for a tail heavy airplane this time. I Havent heard much on nose gear reinforcements for this F16 but will definitely look into it,glad it broke they way it did. $14.00 in parts and I'm back up.
Gotta love 9 blade Fans.....great for TOP END SPEED but useless at low-midrange thrust to get you off the ground....i literally throw them in the trash and put a decent 12 blade in. I dont need 200mph lol
@@RCPlaneReviewer as in Malaysia, most of those F.W F16 900 jets gets failed... Wierdly why in this later days manufacturer still doing 6s setup for most their 90mm jets!? As an oldtimer pilot opinion, me seing most succesfull 90mm jets flown by 8 or up to 10s setup(at least, 8s)make sense! Come on FREEWING!!!

No need to "Jump on the C.G." that's self correcting 😜 when you go pick up the pieces. I knew the risks of moving the C.G. 👍

That didn’t want her day… but you saved her of heavy damage
I definatly got lucky!!
Hey man she’s a tough bird in my opinion. I’ve only flown mine a handful of times. I’m glad she’s fixable!

It happens, which version is this? This seems like a bird that needs that 8s setup, what do you think?
I’ve heard the same thing
Says "High performance" in the title. Thats the 6S inrunner...
@@mikekennedy9174 other videos i have seen it has plenty of power. However no comparison to 8S :D
@@BDTennessee I haven’t seen a lot of videos of this plane on the high performance

2.32........Taking off from LEFT to RIGHT??? Um......oooooook?
Was power/thrust cut at the end?
Not al all it literally stopped In The air lol
I love how everyone becomes Captain Hindsight when someone else crashes! Always hilarious. You should have blah, blah, blah. LMFAO!
Yeah your right lol I just accept the fact that apparently the captain hindsights must never crash!🤣

This is NOT a grass ops bird my friend...
Check out the Video of this bird when I upgraded it to 8S....it is definitely a grass ops bird. On 6s no.

It's it's only money who gives a damn!
That's right!!! Lol 😆
Wow, clueless
Most of em' crashed...🙄
Thats right...🥱
