Hello, cool flights you have after watching the first video fms f16 wanted to buy it) I'm waiting for you to squeeze all the juice out of this Smart !!! good flights !!!!)))
Love your flying I’m trying my first EDF the Habu SS 50mm but I’m having problem landing seem to bounce it a lot. Working on adding throttle to my landings. Maybe this will be my big boy Jet.
High G mixing drops flaps (or flaperons) in response to elevator. This creates a ton of lift which helps aggressively move the model through the air in the pitch axis. Alpha mixing does the inverse - flaps/flaperons reflex upward to make the wing bite into the air less aggressively, making it easier for it to sustain a higher angle of attack without stalling. Setup is simple - a mix of ELE->FLP (or LAL/RAL if using flaperons) 100% to 100%. Ensure that both surfaces move down for High G mixing, and for Alpha mixing you'll want them to move up - which means -100% and -100%, generally.
@@TwoBrosRC Not on the website, but there are a couple videos posted on the RCG channel. Here is the flight test th-cam.com/video/i97s84GlgZg/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately we can't give you any specifics right now. Our transmitter is currently in Illinois being repaired. Try adding a very slight amount of down elevator with the flaps dropped. We don't recommend landing with them as they'll make it harder to bring in without full moving stabs operating in roll.
FMS stock - the gear are pretty robust, so you're probably landing really hard if they're breaking. Definitely work on your technique and it'll resolve itself.
Killer pilot do you fly turbines? I still can't believe SC doesn't have RC shops it sucks. Cary has some ARF planes I'm picking up soon. I'm working on the Black Horse Corsair can you recommend an engine? I'm still wanting to get back into Mokis but price wise just not into that position. Sato has a view good choice I just want a 5 radial with 100cc or more. Need to look at Kholm 5 radial ones. This is my tribute plane, Greg "Pappy" Boingtin
Was wondering what your as3x settings are? I have the Freewing 70 which is almost identical to this one. I normally keep my mine kinda low but Maybe the way you have yours set makes the plane more stable?
2x gain, 18 roll, 60 pitch, 12 yaw. It's on relative gains that are controlled by the throttle setting using a curved mix. More throttle reduces gain, less throttle increases it.
Do you use the reflex 2 that comes with it? I don't have any experience with it but it doesn't seem like it can support flaperons (unless the esc can go straight to the rx and the throttle channel can be repuprosed for a second aileron?)
Im ready to purchase this jet but am confused on what power system comes in it. Some people say its 1900kv and fms has 1850kv posted. Do i need to order 1900kv motor when i purchase for it too perform like in your video
"Hi G Hi Alpha mixing" ... I have stumbled upon the video that reminds me I am not even at beginner level. I'm a sub sub level. Like a baby, I know nothing.
Is there any cheap RC jets like this you recommend i’ve been looking all day and can’t find one with rudder, ailerons, elevators and landing gear, although i have quite tight expectations for one like i want it to be under a metre but i want it around 70cm in wingspan and i was looking for a ready to fly one but i don’t think there is any, but i want one from £200 to £300 with battery, transmitter and charger if there is one you recommend please say so! (sorry for the long message)❤❤❤
This one has everything you just asked for except for a battery, transmitter and charger. If you want a RTF model to learn to fly with, this is a good option: bit.ly/3QhJDNY
@@TwoBrosRC Oh i forgot to say i am quite experienced with flying RC planes but i was going to see how i fly with EDF jets sorry if i caused any confusion but i was looking for a jet 😅😅
Pretty & Impressive flight, also GREAT video !

thats a nice t-shirt ! . Maybe you're like me who waits and longs for someone to make a good Saab 37 Viggen and saab draken
I love this dude! He actually replies and gives great advice!!!
If ur a noob or even experienced, he can help you! Just ask.
😁
I'd really like to see a video explaining your high G vs alpha mixing. What do they do, and how do you set them up?
High G mixing drops flaps (or flaperons) in response to elevator. This creates a ton of lift which helps aggressively move the model through the air in the pitch axis. Alpha mixing does the inverse - flaps/flaperons reflex upward to make the wing bite into the air less aggressively, making it easier for it to sustain a higher angle of attack without stalling.

Love your flying man! When are you going to bring back the "stick cam"? amazing on how much control you have on this F-16. Keep up the good work!
Probably won't for a while unless we can figure out how to get the transmitter view without wearing a harness.
Great review, as usual. Now torn between this or the Viper 70 as my first EDF
We'd recommend the F-16 since it's in stock and the Viper isn't going to be for a while.
@@TwoBrosRC thanks
Sweet Swedish decal on that shirt! Will you try JAS 39 Gripen?
We've flown it before, many times.
@@TwoBrosRC Ok I'll have to check it out!
As a novice-beginner pilot would this model be okay?..long term I want the freewing f-22 model.
It should definitely be a good start to learn how to fly a jet for you if you've got some experience with aircraft in general.
Great piloting as always! Where exactly is your CG? Did u add some weight at the back?
No weight was added. It's flying on a 3600 SMC pack shoved as far back as it can go.
Will you be testing the new version of the Freewing 70mm F-16 with full flying horizontal stabs?
There's a new version of it?
@@TwoBrosRC Not on the website, but there are a couple videos posted on the RCG channel. Here is the flight test th-cam.com/video/i97s84GlgZg/w-d-xo.html
Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Always very informative. Just setup the flaperon mix on my thunderbird 70mm. How much down elevator do you mix with your flaperons?
Unfortunately we can't give you any specifics right now. Our transmitter is currently in Illinois being repaired. Try adding a very slight amount of down elevator with the flaps dropped. We don't recommend landing with them as they'll make it harder to bring in without full moving stabs operating in roll.
@@TwoBrosRC ok thanks I’m just using 30% down on the flaps mostly to reduce takeoff roll. I’ll mix a couple percent down elevator and go from there.
Hello! I’m very into ace combat and would love to put those decals on my future jets, I’m assuming they where custom printed?
Hit up callie-graphics.com/ - she takes custom orders and will make anything, but probably already has what you're thinking of.
@@TwoBrosRC thanks!
Is there any way to add navigatio LEDs to make it look more scale, like the real F-16?
Sure, buy some and add them to it.
Good video I will like to see that jet how good is on grass take off. My airfield is grass only.
We wouldn't recommend it, but it should work. You'd be better off hand tossing it though.
Again very good.
but why not test it for us
stock .????
Because we don't fly stock. If you want to see stock flying, there's literally 40+ other channels out there.
My struts were broken from the retracts on a hard landing... Would you buy FMS new ones or would you recommed others?
Definitely buy replacements!
@@TwoBrosRC which one would you recommed?
FMS stock - the gear are pretty robust, so you're probably landing really hard if they're breaking. Definitely work on your technique and it'll resolve itself.
Great plane and great pilot. Is it possible to upgrade to 8s?)
It is, but at a cost of wing loading and reduced aerobatic potential.
Would you say this or the Freewing F16 70mm is better?
Depends on your skill level.
Really nice jet but the Eur have in my sites for some time. Have you done a comparison of the Rafale and EUR?
Eurofighter vs Rafale goes live on Saturday.
@@TwoBrosRC Cool thanks

No turbines yet - we're working on it at some point.

@Two Brothers Radio Control Awesome, thanks! gonna give that a try
i have only ever had the umx a-10 and i want a bigger jet so would this f-16 or the viper 70mm be better?
The Viper 70mm is a better jet to learn how to fly jets, but the F-16 70mm is much more beginner-friendly.
@@TwoBrosRC so what would be better for me to learn
@@TwoBrosRC also is the f-16c or f-16 thunderbirds easier because the rhunderbirds is cheaper and i like the f-16 more then the viper
Hey Jon! Can you please share your CG is located in this F-16? Thanks!
It balances right at the circles on top. We don't have a specific millimeter measurement though.
@@TwoBrosRC great, thanks 🙏🏻
Do you use the reflex 2 that comes with it?
I don't have any experience with it but it doesn't seem like it can support flaperons (unless the esc can go straight to the rx and the throttle channel can be repuprosed for a second aileron?)
Nope, we use the AR637T gyro instead. Reflex doesn't really support complex wing and tail types.
@@TwoBrosRC I was guessing a spektrum rx w gyro - thanks
Im ready to purchase this jet but am confused on what power system comes in it. Some people say its 1900kv and fms has 1850kv posted. Do i need to order 1900kv motor when i purchase for it too perform like in your video
It ships stock with the 1900kv motor from the link in the description.
@@TwoBrosRC Will definitely use link! Thank you for taking time to answer my question. Love this channel and look forward to more videos!
Are you flying on 4s or 6s?
6
Is this better than the e-Flite 70mm f16?
Not exactly better, just different. It uses a more powerful motor but requires you to install your own receiver.
"Hi G Hi Alpha mixing" ... I have stumbled upon the video that reminds me I am not even at beginner level. I'm a sub sub level. Like a baby, I know nothing.
Mixing isn't a function of skill. It's just something we enjoy doing to help push the airframes a little more.
I want to buy this jet but i am new flying easy or not?
Relatively easy, but we'd recommend having some flying experience before moving up to a jet - even one as easy to fly as this one is.
So where can I buy this RTF?
You can't.
@@TwoBrosRC So how do I attain one. What do I need?
I had my first maiden flight with this f16 today, but acutally I feel it really underpowered😢
That's a take we've never heard about this jet.
Fms f16 or eflie f16?
Depends on what you're looking for in a model.

Try this instead: bit.ly/3Kyv3k4
The Habu is a solid platform to learn on.
but only 4 minute fly time?
That's pretty common for EDF jets.
I'm not a big fan of 5280rc at the moment, I've been waiting over 4 weeks for my after-burner lights.
We've been recommending KMRC Model for a while now - consider checking them out.
