For the guys out there wondering if the metal housing "upgrade" edf will make a big difference in performance for this plane, it doesnt. Got one for a freewing plane a week ago and decided to hot swap it into the f16 at the field after flying two packs with the stock system and then flying the exact brand, size, and age of smc dv 5000s with the upgraded one and saw very little performance differnece. Spektrum telemetry gps was dead nuts even for both with top speed at 118 mph. Max amps were lower by 11 amps for the upgrade one when full throttle on the ground holding the nose. It feels like it has a little more get up and go getting off the runway when pegging the throttle and getting out of high alpha approaches but not much else. Still a great fan, but the stock one is perfect and lighter. Maybe fms kinda fudged the numbers a little with thrust specs or the ducting for the f16 is limiting it.

Fantastic review Jon. Have this jet and I love it. Haven't set up tailerons yet but gave your setup a look and I'll be going with that. I use an NX8 and I was curious if I still have SAFE avalible to me if I go with tailerons. Again great review some of the best rc content on YT.

You can get differential stabs using a 6ch setup if you forego flaperons, so you can absolutely use SAFE if needed.

I can confirm that from jon. Before i put a 8ch in, i used the stock 6ch and programmed elevons for tge horizintals and and did a mix for the wings ailerons. I have the ailerons on the wings turn off when i drop the landing gear along with dropping the expo to zero so the landings are easier. Safe worked great

@@TwoBrosRC The reason I asked was I’ve got a older rc car that the steering servo stripped out and I ordered a Futaba metal gear replacement. Installed no problem, until I tested it. Looks like it’s end points aren’t correct and I didn’t have a servo programmer. So I bought a HiTEC DPC-11 servo programmer. Haven’t messed with the programmer yet. I know my Futaba 10j can change servo endpoints, but I haven’t tried yet. Any advice?

Great flying Jon, lets get another video when you have no winds and you can use the 4400. I've been flying mine on 4400 set up with flaperons and tailerons. What a great flyer. What do you do about the incredible amount of right yaw present with gear down? Turn gyro to high gains with gear down?
@TwoBrosRC
Жыл бұрын
It's definitely getting flown again so we can demo more of its capabilities. There's no yaw present with the gear dropped that we're aware of, at least not following our setup guide linked in the video. Try following kzitem.info/news/bejne/kah3y4Fmjn6phWU and set up the stabilators to correct for roll and pitch, not just pitch. The jet will fly significantly better that way.

Jon, another great flying video. The video quality is great. With the blue sky the plane looks amazing. I have a question, when you did the review on the FMS SU twin 70mm EDF you stated you removed the tail weight. I have the FMS J-11, same plane different paint scheme. I have not found that tail weight. I have used a thin wire and poked into the foam between the EDF’s and have not found it. Any help would be great. Thanks
@TwoBrosRC
Жыл бұрын
The tail weight is located where the radar boom attaches to the fuselage. It's in the fuselage at that point. Use a magnet in that area and you'll find it easily. If you've already attached the boom, it will be more difficult to remove.

Although, if you flying stock cg and you havent programmed elevons on the horizontals, i can see how it might be not as sporty.

I like / dislike your reviews. What I don't like is you modify almost every model you are reviewing. If the servos that come with it are garbage we should know, if the receiver is inadequate we should know. Not saying the parts you are replacing are garbage and it seems to be your preference for replacing them, it is still not an accurate review of the plane out of the box. Other than that great videos and enjoy watching what they can and can not do.

Hey, thanks for the insight! If you want to watch something flown stock, there's countless examples of stock flying on KZitem. Our channel isn't about flying stock. You'd want Brian Phillips for that kind of content. We expect people coming here to want to see what the airframe we're flying is capable of instead of being limited by the servos that it comes with. The stock A450 servos are not garbage at all - but they don't have the speed or torque needed to perform the maneuvers we enjoy with jets.
