Great job brother.. I have so many free wing and EDF and warbirds prop planes that I have not flown yet I have two high-performance 15s one I built from scratch installed everything in it. It’s an 8s and I have the high-performance 6S upgraded ducted fans in both of them. I have flying my S6 intruder my first EDF. I wrecked it three or four times and rebuilt it four times the guy at the airfield said it didn’t sound right and I had to replace an upgrade my ducted fan. The motor was bad. I didn’t know that that’s why I crashed three more times with it after I did all that and kept buying more. I just haven’t had time to fly any of them. Just my other EDF I have the F 14 tomcat high-performance version two F-15s one that is a 8S and they’re both higher performance and I also have the 269 free wing high-performance F-16 F1 18 i’ve flown my F86 saber high-performance it flies beautiful and I have my Mustang 1500 mm and 1200 mm mustang they’re amazing have a lot more. I think I have 15 in total or 16 EDS and prop and warbirds. I want to see more of your videos you’re awesome…

There's nothing like the feel of a maiden 😅 excellent job dude!✈️🍻

[@Mach3RC]

🍻 Getting to enjoy this with one of my friends and then share it with you guys makes me truly so happy. Having so much fun with this hobby. Thanks for watching!

[@Brads-hanger]

That was awesome!!!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you so much Brad!!

[@MotionRC]

Nothing as fun as model aviation. We love seeing new channels and new pilots have success. Great editing FYI.

[@Mach3RC]

Appreciate the kind words so much 💙 Thank you for watching!

[@BluegrassStateRC]

Nice landing! Best advise I ever heard for landing jets : Elevator is speed, Throttle is altitude.

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you!! I try to keep remembering that while I fly! It is phenomenal advice. In the moment it gets intense haha

[@williambock1821]

That thing is so STABLE!! Very cool!

[@Mach3RC]

I was super impressed with it!! Can’t wait to get it back in the air. Thanks for watching!!

[@Mach3RC]

Thanks for helping me along the way!! Soon we’ll be doing tandem flights 🤝

[@AustinLeo11294]

Yo can you guys do an RC episode on the Pod??? I’d love an episode of you guys convincing Alex and everyone to go buy a RC car or plane

[@Mach3RC]

Hahaha I’d love to see Alex fly an RC!

[@markmcc21]

What a lovely flying field. Well done on the maiden. She ain't an easy shape to fly. U done good 👍🏾

[@Mach3RC]

Great place with great people! Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!

[@thomassullivan3703]

😂😂😂 AWESOME , 😂 I LOVE SEEING THE RUSH PEOPLE GET WHEN IM OUT IN THE FIELDS FRYING, i like to set back after i talk with them an see the concept of how They apply. Don't encourage me to digging in on sticking to the Committing themselves to what they came out to do 😂 . There is nothing like that Initial drive they feel after they come out of that flight 😂 i love seeing that because i still remember 24yrs ago what i was feeling to drive me into the hobby . Thanks for sharing 👍

[@rungy8214]

Hilarious video! The F-16 is perfect to fly for beginners. It has the most favorable stall envelope of all airfoils (just noses down) The bigger 70mm size also is easier to fly.

[@Mach3RC]

Glad you enjoyed! 😃 I’m really enjoying this one. This is the 70mm btw!

[@rcpilotwill]

Awesome. I enjoy the fun of this hobby. I like your videos keep em rolling 👍🏾

[@The43rdHammer]

Awesome maiden buddy 🎉 In my non expert opinion, dial down the aileron gyro and add some expo to the rates… the wobble looked like the gyro not the wind. Great job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you so much!!!! Means the world. Definitely going to look into the gyro. Currently running 30% expo and that seemed to feel good

[@The43rdHammer]

@@Mach3RC Yes, 30% is a lot of expo for a jet!

[@jimr7154]

Nice maiden flight They are always the worst for nerves lol

[@Mach3RC]

Thank you! I can’t believe how nervous I get, I think it’s so funny haha. Had an absolute blast. I have another unboxing & maiden coming up of an even faster jet! Subscribe so you’re here for that one too 😄

[@smokeymountainrctravisThompson]

Great flying buddy. It's an awesome jet. When you get used to it s, you will be ripping it up

Can heavily relate in the 920 man been windy affffff here

[@Mach3RC]

I don’t know what’s going on! I swear I got into flying RC and all of a sudden it’s just the windiest it seems like it’s ever been 😅😅😅 I’m probably just paying attention to the wind more than I have ever before

Man nice flight I did the same thing my first edf was a freewing 90mm T45 second was the 90mm f16 both flew great and I didn’t use stabilization hand flew them both but I’m setting up a new T45 with a speedybee f405 wing flight controller and flying in the cockpit with a 03 air unit and integra goggles

Nope! I have it on 2 of my 6 channels. But those are on planes without flaps or retractable landing gear

I hope your gear holds up my buddys gear fell apart. Which is a shame because its beautiful.

[@Mach3RC]

Unfortunately I’ve heard this quite a bit :( I’ll probably buy a back up set and have it ready! Thanks for watching & hopefully subscribing!

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

@@Mach3RC thats a great idea. If you ever are looking for a little bigger f-16 the eflite 80mm is great. The gear is strong as hell. The same buddy that owns the freewing rolled my t-bird off the runway and it hit some good dips. Just bent the pin that goes threw the wheel. Bent it back and sent it up.
