The F-18 is Back! With a Ton more POWER! TWINI SWIWIN 190 Engines! Great flights! Engines available at www.thelightersideofrc.com/
Sounds unreal! Perfect engines I believe.
Twins always sound Perfect!
New Engines have got a proper growl behind em now, need this Jet dudeeee it’s so good lol
Haha. Yea she’s a beast! Very powerful!
GORGEOUS Brot. Congrats. Amazing!!!
Thanks
With good weather and good aircraft, swiwin provides high-quality turbojet engine and service
Heck YEA!😎
Wow that looks unreal I want one please.
HAHA. We have one for sale in the shop!
Yes F18 the beast roaring the sky again
Oooooo yea!!!!
Great Video
Thanks John.
Whoa!
😊😎
Brother this is so amazing
Thanks 😊
9:55 This Sound !
Oh Yea!!!!
Man it sounds so close to scale. This is fantastic.
Such a cool aircraft! Those new engines sound amazing!
What a great day! Huge relief to get the 18 settled out.
Thanks to all the fellas that chipped in to make this a success!
The videos are amazing!! Thanks Jonathan
Love the camera
Thanks Steve!
Nice bird Steve. Those Swiwins sound THIRSTY! How much fuel on board?
There is about 9 L on board. After these flights only the saddles were empty and it just started getting into the main 5L tank. Often bigger turbine = better fuel economy
@@cx9drvr thanks Randy, hope to get lots of fly time on the 18
That F18 is a BEAST! The slow motion slow fly by's were cool. Looks like a great day with friends. My type of club.
Thanks Sal! Love our club! No politics. Just fun flying!
That first landing was a little sketchy but after that....butter! Beautiful plane.
So much better now that it's dialed in!
great club you got there , amazing jets and that f18 awesome now on the 2 x 190
Take care all
Thanks 👍😎
Man that thing quick just about in the next State before turning back and flys like o rails excellent job truly an epic build. :0)
Thanks 👍
*I'm anxiously awaiting the A-10 Warthog*
Soon!😊
All I can say is....WOW!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
It was a great day indeed!!
Thanks for coming out Gavin!
Outrageous
😎
Trevor's speed control landing both the F18 and L39 was beautiful to watch!!! BUT.... that gorgeous F18 needs the ordinance package installed. Those twin turbines could easily supplement the drag.
For sure! Maybe we will see it installed this year.
Hey, hey!! Great to see Trevor rocking the sticks on the maiden flights!! Really nice job:)
It is good to see it finally sorted out, and the power match is great. You can always throttle back, but you can't always throttle up. Trevor taught me well. LOL!!
Absolutely Brent! He did a great job on the first flights and she is very dialed in now!
🥰🥰🥰
😊
AMAZING. !! Only one thing left to do. Fly it through STAR WARS CANYON. 👍🇺🇸
Haha! No kidding!
Nice! Looking forward to seeing the A-10 airborne. Nice 1/2 rev Cuban @ 10:16.
Thanks Steve.
Amazing video , thanks Jon for all your help getting me ready to fly solo !!
Very much appreciated!!!!
Congrats Steve on an amazing day getting your 18 dialed in !!!
STACY! Congrats on your solo flight. You've been workin' at it and you are successful! For a while, I thought you and Jonathan were tied together with that buddy cord! LOL.
You bet my Friend!
@@cx9drvr thanks 😊 Randy !!!
Wow, that sounds amazing. Great build, the aircraft looks and sounds perfect.
Thanks for watching!
Whow the was Awsome. Clearly to see how you trimmed the f18 several flights, from a high speed landing to the last very slow landing. Just Awsome
Thanks Geoffrey! She slows down a ton! Thanks for watching!
@@thelightersideofrc yes you can See a big differance, what was the reason of using the leading edge flaps later and not with earlier flights
Just to keep as many variables out of the mix as possible. After the sketchy original maiden with the wrong elevator zero from Skymaster it was a little in settling. Start simple and every flight for 20-30 flights tweak something to make it fly or work better.
May not take that many flights but it’s a realistic number.
@@thelightersideofrc great thank you for the info😉
😊
Jaw dropping.. you guys rock…insane but awesome!
Thanks Stewart!
…this bird is sick😎…amazing sound . You guys have Jet A1 running through your veins ✌️cheers from Munich
Thanks 😊
Great video once again. Super flights on the F-18. That first landing was at Mach 1 but the subsequent landings were great. Bluebird sky - great for smoke!
Thanks Randy!
Great Job~JON!!
Thanks Dean!
Dude... I'm impressed with the Hornet's controllability and so solid when cornering, This sky that shows cumulus formation, it's low clouds, these clouds form near the surface, their base is approximately 6500 feet above the ground. This vertical loop ascent of the Hornet made it hide for a few moments in the cloud, you can get a rough estimate of how high it reached from the data on the height of the cloud base formation above the ground.
It is a very controllable and fun plane to fly. When they are powered well and you get used to flying them tail slides are very cool!
It has been a true pleasure watching this plane from the build through the maidens and upgrades. Truly exceptional my friend!
Many thanks! I appreciate people watching the process!
Sublime!
Thanks for watching!
Well done, great to see it in the air. Congrats on an amazing job.
Thanks 😊
Spectacular stuff! I’m used to electric foamies, so big jets are pretty dang exciting. Thanks as always!
Thanks for watching Gryf!
fantastic jet love it. Perfect choice the 190s. I got a EF model with P180RXI although we sea level but tep. and humidity brings us up to 6000ft density altitude.
Thanks Blasius! Yea the 170-190's are a great match for this plane! That's wild that you guys get up to 6000ft with all the factors!
Landings getting shorter by 3rd flight.... great job. You must have sharp eye sight. The problem I have always had with RC flying is if whatever I was flying got too far away, I couldn't see it well enough to keep track of it's orientation.
Thanks Alan! That's why we keep going bigger and bigger! 😂
Outstanding, it’s like the real thing!!! And the sound....
Oh Yea! Twins always sound sooo good!
Heeeeey you crazy RC guy, I can’t wait to see this amazing bird…Send it! 😀😀😀😀😀❤️
edit: Awww…some! 😳
HAHA. Thanks for watching!
Super fun ,, and pricy
Yea and YES!😳😜
Thanks Jonathan for the Video. Hope to see the Great Builder fly the Dog 💩 out of theF18 some day. You the Man. Jonathan 👍🏻
Thanks Gregory 😊
A thing of beauty! And the pilot obviously knows the fundamentals of flying a jet. My country is in the process of selecting the fighter to replace our aging 1:1 scale F-18s. Whatever the choice turns out to be, the new planes will be uglier than the beautiful Hornet.
Not many better options than the 18 in my mind!😎
Need to paint the landing gears white like McDonald' intended it to be. But over all it looks and perform awsome.
Yea! Thanks a lot of work on the 18 with the scale gear! Thanks for watching!
Hi Jonathan: I am soon starting a build on the F version and would like to confirm the CG location for the flights that Trevor was flying. I have seen various opinions on CG location (too forward or too rearward), so would like to know this tested CG based on reference to Wing LE. Much thanks. Jeff D
Hey Jeff. Send me an email and I will send you the info on this.
Very nice jet and skills. How much would a good estimate be for that jet, engines, and radio be all ready to fly? I understand everything involved with it. Just wanted to set goals. Thanks for your time
Hello Jesse. A big Twin like this will be about 25K USD ready to fly. Give or take a few Thousand each direction depending on options and equipment chosen.
You should use the numetal to separate the engines the material blocks the magnetic fields so the rpm sensors don’t respond to the other engine, I have the rpm problems with my Bvm rafale , the rotation of the engines helps but the mumetal makes it much better.
Thanks Sebastian. I wasn't sure what to expect with the Swiwin's being so close but it's a zero issue with interference.
1st landing was really fast I thought was going to flip when turned at the end of the runway.
Yea, no brakes on first landing. Thankfully the Skymaster landing gear is amazing!
Hi Jonathan,
Is that the same jet that almost ran out of runway on it's maiden? Plenty of power with the 190's. Very nice flights. Thanks for showing those extras at the end. The L-39 sure flies sweet. Any update on the new home build? You and Katie stay safe.
Yea! Same aircraft! What a difference some adjustments and bigger engines make. House update video out shortly!
Amazing F18! Do you have the two throttles on different channels with a mix and a separate switch to turn off 1 of the turbines or do you have them on a Y connector?
Great Videos!!
Thanks 😊. Throttles are on separate channels but both use a common trim. A y connector would also work but using a separate channel allows some redundancy if one of the cables going to an ECU was to fail.
Thanks for watching
Sweet, looks like reasonable landing speed with the slats. Were any of the takeoffs with Half flaps? And any Slat. Interested to get some insight into my SU35S setup. Did you do a thrust test on the 19s? Interested to understand what the percentage reduction in thrust is at your altitude. You had the 14s from memory documented. My Sukhoi is running 14s.
Hello Brian. All the take offs were with mid flaps. Flight 2 and 3 had slats added in. didn't do any thrust tests on the 190's. Generally we see about a 15-20% reduction depending on all the variables (Temp, Altitude, etc)
this is amazing! how much did this whole setup cost?
Most large twins like this will run around 25K USD
NICE !!! What dry weight did the model end up with? thx in advance
Thanks 😊. Dry weight is 57 lbs.
@@thelightersideofrc NICE !! i thought it would be heavier
Quite a bit lighter than the first version with the engines in the tail.
@@thelightersideofrc Ah, so did adding weight in the nose for balance negate the weight savings of the turbines in the tail with no pipe? thx in advance
Amazing jet! What do you suppose is its top speed?
Not sure one would want to check. These scale birds aren’t speed demons. She will climb unlimited vertical now!
Wingspan? Length overall? Weight? Pounds or Kilos
Check out the build videos. It’s the 1/5.75 scale Skymaster. Weight dry is 57lbs.
How much of your business is repairing aircraft? These guys seem to be pretty good pilots. Do you have to take classes to learn the jets?
Hello James. It changes on a regular basis but in years past it was more repairing less building. Now it’s more building less repairing.
No official classes per se that I know of but basically find somebody who’s willing to invest time and energy and is willing to teach. Some people pick it up quite quickly and some people it takes years. You can be a very proficient pilot of other aircraft but when it comes to something with a Turbine, landing gear, flaps and so many variables it can be overwhelming
@@thelightersideofrc I once had a pilots license and I can't imagine the skill set required for flying remotely.
Yea it’s different for sure. Stacy, who I mentioned in the video completing his solo used to be a commercial pilot and instructor
Nervous he's a bit nervous!!
So would I be with almost 25 thousand in a rc jet fighter 🥴
HAHA. Can't fly the money! Just fly the plane!
@@thelightersideofrc
You have to have the money to fly the plane thou. Us mer mortals earn less than that in a year 🙄
Damn, that landing speed ist horrible. CG is on the right spot?
Now the C of G is spot on.
