The F-16 Eflite version I got last week came with an AR631 receiver. Just to mess with me, they put a capacitor into Channel 6. I had to message the smartest person I know in RC, Lori @ Merry Boozer. (I got Wes instead) Wes said yank out the capacitor if you want. I wanted to try your tip having the rudder and front gear on different channels. On the ix12 I’ve got the bottom sliders, so the “right slider” for nose gear straightening was a no-brainer. WORKED PERFECTLY! I owe you a Pabst Blue Ribbon, or a Falstaff when we meet. I’ve struggled like hell with the Twin Otter on Floats lately taking off, so that’s the next to do the splitting of channels on the front wheel/rudder and the right slider. Thanks Rich, really good tip!

I love that I learned to fly 12 years ago with fms simulator, and with no stabilization systems, flew a waterplane, art tech coota , and a scary souped up art tech cessna, now with the stabilization systems I can finally easily fly jets , wich I always wanted but never tried...got a F16 falcon now...the future is great, and great video, learned alot

[@gavstreet8976]

Also thank you soo much for showing how you do the nose gear steering on the mod super helpful

[@millermonsterair]

with F-16 models, i have noticed that they like to fly. high alpha stuff seems to always track straight and where you want it and every F-16 model i have flown, feels super light in the air and loves to float.

[@Chris-ri9cx]

I picked up this jet last week from my local hobby store it must have been sitting on the shelf for a while and might have been a earlier batch of this jet because mine didn't come with the positive servo connections like yours, so i did the old tape to secure them. I also had almost double the amount of control surface deflection's in all the surfaces with the 100 and 70% rates it recommends, i had to adjust my servo travels down quite a bit to get the proper travel. In any case its a great flying jet!

[@kevinlandry7344]

Loved the paint removing trick!!!

[@RCINFORMER]

I picked that up somewhere along the line... Just passing it on:)

[@gavstreet8976]

I have that plane too gotta love them high alpha landings

[@gooniac33]

This is one of those videos where you look at how long it is and think that you won't make it through.... But man!! You pack in a whole lot of info man!! I love it! This is how an unbox should be! So glad to see you have gotten one of these and now you are making me want to get another!! Keep an eye out in the mail... something enroute for you today...

[@RCINFORMER]

Sweet Ray! Thanks for the support:) Please feel free to share this video around!

[@jerrysu29]

Very well done Sir. I test flew one for a friend. He liked how I did the nose wheel mix on my T-33 I have many of my EDF's setup this way. I hate having to play around with the linkage to adjust the steering. So I did the same as you did for him to trim the steering

[@mikepi660]

Thanks Rich,, You have saved me lots of time, money and made getting into the hobby easier,,,, Your the man!!

[@RCINFORMER]

No problem, thanks for the support and glad i could help🙂

[@artsmodelstation9396]

Q: When adjusting surfaces are u in safe mode or the other mode ?

[@steverudd5745]

Excellent, very helpful video. Can't wait to assemble mine, using lots of great tips I learned from watching! Thanks so much.

[@southmadison4021]

It appears that many planes especially jets need the battery all the way back to get CG correct , why doesn't HH just plan for this ? AND mark the CG on the plane NO mistakes measuring then...

[@kennyharke366]

When you glued the horizontal stabilizers in place, does the glue go on the servo as well for the bond?

[@RCINFORMER]

Yes, I did.

[@kennyharke366]

@@RCINFORMER Thanks! I appreciate your videos, both building and flying!

[@startazz]

Hi Rich,off topic but can i ask about your table set up,as i see the banana plug sockets and was hoping for some info on said table please. 😉 I have asked before but can't remember getting an answer so here it is again,many thanks for all the great videos sir. Much love and respect from the UK. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@RCINFORMER]

It is an electric desk. The height is adjustable and it has USB ports for charging:) Thanks for watching!

[@brianscutt6298]

Where you get the extra straps from ??

[@jack78_]

just picked up the jet love it, would you have a source for the self adhesive shelf liner in video

[@RCINFORMER]

Any liner works, i buy it by the roll at Lowes!

[@TangyLlama]

I want one! What is the difference between foam Tac and CA and why undo you think foam tac is better?

[@RCINFORMER]

Either will work fine, I prefer Foam-Tac because it is a bit more flexible when it cures & I feel it is better on foam as it is more "Foam-Tac." CA dries as bit more brittle where foam is not. Often CA can run all over and make a mess.

[@davidmcneill3809]

I love the idea using the knob for the front gear. How hard is it to find the Y-Harness to find the connections.

[@RCINFORMER]

Should not be too hard follow the cable back from the nose gear and you will find it🙂 thanks for supporting the channel and watching our videos its really appreciated👍

[@davidmcneill3809]

@@RCINFORMER thank you for your response. My F-16 has a capacitor in that slot. I suspect it is for EMI purposes. Did you have to remove one?

[@RCINFORMER]

@@davidmcneill3809 I don't recall. It stores a charge to provide some power in the event of a intermittent power loss.

[@oneshot7609]

Did you ever fly the freewing f16 70mm?

[@theo52ful]

Hello from Belgium , I want to buy this super jet . I’ve been watching the very well done video presentation and I have a question for you. Since the drift is stuck on the fuselage, it seems impossible to replace the drift servo if it is out of service and needs to be changed . The same for the depth , what do you think? Thank you cordially Thierry

[@ejavierpenalberth5032]

Hi Nice videos i'm a have the number 8 transmiter bout a can't bid the safe mode

[@ronaldbrown6077]

Where can I get a tube of foam tax?

[@homegrownpyrotechnics70-30]

The only thing that bothers me about this plane is the missiles. I'm thinking of cutting mine off. The last time I watched the thunderbirds perform I don't think they had wing mounted missiles? lol

[@RCINFORMER]

No problem! You can cut them off. I would reinforce them with a wood or carbon fiber strip for strength & rigidity:)

[@homegrownpyrotechnics70-30]

@@RCINFORMER Yes I was thinking the same about the reinforcement? Maybe cut a groove along the length of it and foamtac a dowel to it.

[@RCINFORMER]

@@homegrownpyrotechnics70-30 That will work:)
