We mentioned that the Afterburner was NOT included, but here's the link if you want it. Keep in mind you need to have the channel available to use it. We MAY go into trying to get it to work, now that we have the "bugs" worked out...
Afterburner Ring bit.ly/3DHPbwU
@brianphillipsrc Link doesn’t go directly to the afterburner. At least that’s what I’m seeing at the moment. Used the 70mm ring on my Habu and it still works great.
I put a 5280 afterburner in mine just because I had it and the blue to red/yellow color looks so much cooler. It's nice that Eflite already ran the wire for theirs.
Sometimes I think you are little odd , But… you make some of the best detailed videos !! Thanks for taking the time to do these Great job.
Thanks ;) LOL
Thank heavens u make these videos, if they dont send me instructions I will be so pissed lol. This plane just became my favorite horizon jet.
The 80mm Thunderbird is pre-wired for Flaperons, all that needs to be done is enable flaps in the flap system and add the flap values.
The Thunderbirds do fly with a centerline drop tank at times, so maybe Horizon could’ve gotten away with adding the centerline tank in the packaging. It’s the same blue color as the “bird” on the bottom.
Only the two seater F-16D flies with the external centerline tank
great buid and setup,awesome looking jet,if you get tired of looking at all those planes you got i have room for a couple of them.....lol
Seen the in real lift many times. Love hill Air Force base and there museum
Thunderbirds also fly with centerline cargo pods between shows ,,, thats where they put their luggage.
The advance jet will. You’ll rarely, if ever, see air show primaries with pods. Luggage goes with support aircraft that also has tools and airshow support equipment
Got mine today (this morning)...set up and ready in like 2 hours. Just going standard set-up with flaperons.....well, also Thrust Reverse. Hopefully wx tomorrow will cooperate for maiden. Going with 6000 and 6200 mAh packs.
Good luck!!! I think I might re-dump the BNF profile back into the AR8360T, since I want to have BOTH....and now that it's released, I can actually get the thing ;)
Thanks for all the knowledge you share. I did flaperon and taileron on my f-16. I noticed AS3X and SAFE not working on one of my elevators. How could I address that?
Oh boy, that's an issue. I would be concerned that you're using the BNF profile, while you'll need to "Factory Reset" the Rx, and go through "First Time AS3X Setup" in "Forward Programming".
To be honest, I need to DO this plane again. We have enough channels to get it right, but haven't even thought about it until you asked this question.
U guys crack me up
Nice review. That is some battery collection and charging area.
I want to make it nicer. These lipo's are an unusually large part of our life, but they are probably the most dangerous part of our hobby. I'd like to make a better way to store them.
"I stuck it all the way through the hole. It's large and thick". Good one!
Are you doing your video format like you used to do where instead of the flight part, you start with the unboxing?
Wow.. impressive 👌
Thanks! I need some work with this one!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC awesome
Brian I could really use your help setting up my jet
Hell Brian.
Okay I got a headache now. I just got this plane put a 10 channel RX and all went much quicker. Your wife is a saint, take her out for dinner. She earned it. Thanks for the video it was entertaining.
Luv that bird and great video but on another subject I bought the NX 8 TX and it came with a reciever I believe it is a AR 8020T but I can't get the safe feature to work does this reciever have Safe in it?
Brian will this one and the 70mm Marine Corps F/A-18 Bind with a Spektrum DX8 Gen 1 (Silver) Transmitter? Just wondering if I need to get a new transmitter.
I see that V3 futura 🤩🤩
Sweet edf jet love the f16
Very impressive information man
Yeah I think I'd stick with the standard setup. Not a jet guy (yet) but the looks of this one gets me one step closer.
Hi, may I know if it is suitable for a not very smooth grass runway? Thanks!
Brian do the flaperons make this a better landing EDF than the V1? That one could be a bit of a handle at times.
You think the fms f16 70mm with gyro is a decent jet to start? I only have flown the volantax sport cub.
I have no idea what voodoo Eflite did to get the flaps working on this thing. I have them setup on my 70mm and 80mm grey one but had to unlock and reprogram the RX on them to get AS3X and SAFE working on all control surfaces. On those 2 planes the radio had to be set to flaperons but the 80mm TBird is set to 1 Aileron and 1Flap. And all 3 planes are wired the same, with the ailerons split to 2 channels. Must be some mixing going on in the programming of the RX. Wish there was a way to see it in the programmer software like you could with the AR636.
Wow… brain exploded!
Finally
I have a black dx7. Is it even possible to have thrust reverse with only a seven-channel radio? I tried to follow along with your instructions about implementing the thrust reverse into my radio but I'm afraid it went over my head. For some reason I have a mental block with setting things up in my radio especially when it comes to setting up helicopters. I really want thrust reverse on this plane but not sure how to set it up. I also don't have safe setup but not really worried about that.
Okay, here's a trick. Watch a video about a simpler plane, and see if it resonates with you. What about the HABU 70mm? That one also has Thrust Reverse.
As for the 7 channel radio system...I used the NX8 in this video, but to modify it to work similar with 7 channels would be possible, but you'll lose SOMETHING...you have to decide what. Thrust Reverse / Flapperons / Elevons / Ailerons - you get to pick, but you'll have to fight through the setup, unfortunately :(
Check the playlists, or www.brianphillipsrc.com and you can find the Habu 70mm Playlist. I think we had to use a programmer tool ( Avian ESC Programmer bit.ly/3PFWmZY )for the Habu 50mm, so maybe skip that one for what you're trying to do.

Interesting… The Horizon web page for this bird says Skill Level 4! I see on the box you have it shows 3. Brian, they must have changed it after watching your video! LOL. Great video-both of them. I’m still trying not to break the landing gear on my 70mm F16 tbird. (Grass landings)
That's hilarious, and I wonder if you're right!??!?
I wanted this plane to work out so much more smoothly, but she is still a GORGEOUS creation....now I want her to be locked in, and she's just not there YET - SHE WILL BE!!!! ;)
This one might be one from the release video!
it's the version of the F16 80mm now with the thunderbirds theme ?
when will it be available for sale on the site?
and other thing, i never understand how to configurate the flapons mode...
👏🏻👏🏻
Hej Brian thanks for a informativ video, now i have a little problem, it is not possible to get the thunderbird here in Denmark only the Falcon so my question, is it possible to make same settings on the falcon as you did on the Thunderbird ( reverse trust, elevon and flaperon ) 😊😊
You can do it if you buy the AR8360T bit.ly/3crfA6H - but stock, you have to give up something :( Not enough channels otherwise.
@@BrianPhillipsRC ok thanks, i will do that, and after looking at your video of flaperon i will quit them so only elevon and trust reverse 😊😊😊😊
@@BrianPhillipsRC By the way am i right that there are no differens between the Thunderbird and the Falcon only the color as i see it
This is a totally differnent plane than the 70mm. Gear doors etc. The bird paint pattern is also different.
Any issues if you remove the AUX BEC on ch 7? What's it for anyway
I don't recall seeing a BEC on there...
@@BrianPhillipsRC its the wire plugged into ch7 on the receiver. I'm wondering if I can do tailerons + flaperons + afterburner with stock 8 ch receiver.
👍🤠
How do you get that much throws?
Reset the Rx to factory defaults & start from scratch.
I see on your elevators you put a mark what is the mm from top is it
I'm not sure about that...maybe it was marked by the guys at the factory.
@@BrianPhillipsRC oh ok just daw it on your video and thought it is a certain mm setting for the elevator at level
@@BrianPhillipsRC having issues with mine set to one aileron and one flap only one elevator works and one flap works and no mods factory BNF but if I go into my ix20 I set it to flapperons it woks like it’s supposed to no idea what to do to make it work like it supposed to an HH said they would call me but never has
Lol doing televons, flaps, flaperons, delay, all that is soooo easy with the radiomaster. Like mixing all that is a cinch. Not sure why you have to be “committed” in a spektrum radio as your spending a lot of money to have a radio that shouldn’t be difficult lol.
The Afterburner Ring is not included with the 80mm Thunderbird. It is available separately #EFL87897
So why you think this is a bad first plane? I want to get into this hobby and I want to get this as first plane. I love jets
Way too hard to fly for a beginner.
If you get this and all the stuff, you'll end up being a "One and Done" almost certainly. We want to help you get in the air, AND FIND SUCCESS! Then this plane will be no problem for you.
Here's some beginner planes that could interest you. You might find that some are totally "not for you" and others that are more palatable.
Please DON'T start with this F-16!!!

There is no ordinance or dummy fuel tanks included with the 80mm Thunderbird
How much larger than 70
Ahhh nice easy build…. Not a Dancing Wings PT(SD)17 then?😅
You need the new ix14
We're really torn on this - we can do either the NX10 or the IX14, but don't want to leave people behind, since the setup is not exactly the same.
@@BrianPhillipsRC oh true
Ordinance on a Thunderbird??? You're speaking Heresy Brian.
maybe time to try a tx16s radio😀
Received Mine today and before putting it together . I do what I always do and check out some videos for tips and tricks . This was the hardest video to watch to date from you . Good grief man . You said it your self it was test jet from the start . I wanted to order some cheese and send it to you for all that "whine" . Was hard to stay focused on the video when every other word out of your mouth was crying about the test jet . Come on Man you act like you are a new pilot that doesn't know how to set up a plane. Kinda petty and childish to let something like this get under your skin . At the end of the day you received a 600+ dollar plane with a free afterburner for free and you still wanna cry about it , knowing the production models with no be like this . Grow up man and learn to appreciate it . Ones things for sure ! You will never have to worry about me commenting again. Good luck Brotha ! Peace!
