  • FMS did it again with this 4S powered EDF that delivers an impressive performance from a 64mm EDF power plant. Lots of scale details along with a removable landing gear. This Thunderbird paint scheme is outstanding. In this video I review the unboxing, assembly and flight performance. Then summarize for what type of pilot should think about this plane in their hanger.

    I like my 70mm E-flite F-16 Thunderbird. It's a lot of fun and you can't stall it. I've got to have retracts on my EDF's.

    Excellent review Will! Nice flying bud, fun jet for sure! F-16's turn like an F1 car...they earned the nickname "Viper" in a dogfight. Looks like you had a blast with it!

    Good job showing us all the bells and whistles - and how they all get put together. Your flight looked really nice and smooth with some very nice, gentle landings. A very nice looking model that seems to have good thrust / speed.

      Its funny.. I have 70mm, 80mm and 90mm EDFs, but this little 64mm is a blast to play with.. It's really got some power and performance for a low cost, cheap 4S system.. You'll really enjoy this one..

    Hi Will, very nice video showing the details of this plane. Being just a bit interested because I thought it would just be like the FW version a friend bought and flew the other day I became pretty convinced it´s a solid model worth every penny. Just my problem is we have a gras runway and I have also some problems with the 70mm F-16. I suppose the front wheel is a bit too small for gras handling watching also that landing you had that wasn´t bad at all. Also your grass was very high but I don´t know. Of course hand toss it would be OK but I love to land my planes :) The details and the lights are spectacular like on the latest FMS planes! The lights are like the reason I would buy this 85% sure. I love flying in the evening :D Best regards from Bavaria!

    • @SteffenRC
      @SteffenRC  Před měsícem +1

      Thanks for watching and commenting.. You are right, this plane is a solid model.. I have the Freewing F18 64mm and this FMS F-16 has significantly more power and performance. The grass at my field is WAY to high for sure.. Flying from grass??? It really depends on the how low and smooth the grass is. Golf Course grass would be fine. Rough, bumpy surface with 3" high grass would be a problem. I'm with you, I like takeoffs and landings.. Such fun.. This is a great 4S F-16.. But those little wheels might really frustrate you.. (Depending on your grass....). Thanks, Will

      @@SteffenRC hi Will! Thank you for taking the time to answer me! Some of my planes have problems when the grass is also short but wet and thick like a carpet. I think there is a lot of resistance. Bigger wheels like my Avanti FMS 70mm no Problem! But the small futura and the 70mm FW F-16 for sure. If I get this small f16 I will probably just hand toss her. It safes a lot of power too :)

    Can confirm it looks great in person and in the air, even with non-retractable landing gear. Next difficulty level: aerobrake on the landing! :)

    Did they put the 3 dollar plastic gear servos in it?

    • @SteffenRC
      @SteffenRC  Před měsícem +1

      They are plastic. Seems to work fine so far. I got planes with plastic and planes with metal. Both have failed at some point. Not a common occurrence, but happens. I think these light 64mm planes use those plastic servos to keep it light and cost down.
