You're definitely doing this model justice. Good flying man! There's another channel that reviewed it and stalled on landing because they ran out the battery. There's no excuse to run out of voltage with an Avian ESC. These people have to know that you can get voltage info from the ESC on-demand.

[@cloudstreets1396]

I love how jazzed you guys get on these reviews. Keep up the enthusiasm! It’s what makes your channel great!

Ooh Man! Forget Draco, I LOVE F-16s. MUST HAVE!

[@jetman899]

I'm thinking the same 😆

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

This is fantastic, the Draco just doesn't push any of my buttons at all.

[@aerospacematt9147]

@@shelbyseelbach9568 I like Draco’s STOL capabilities, and the shocks (because I mainly fly from a cratered sand area). But for 100 dollars less you get a CUSTOMIZABLE 80mm F-16. And they were released within the same month. Because the F-16 is my favorite fighter, if I’m choosing between the 2, well I’m sold on the F-16!

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

@@aerospacematt9147 I'm aware that other people are enthused about the Draco. That doesn't change my excitement level one bit, and I'm not trying to change anyone else's. Merely stating my opinion. F-16 looks great and because I feel that way it also appears to be a good value. The Draco doesn't appeal to me, so it's price is irrelevant really. If it was $100 it wouldn't be in my hangar, even though as a model it looks to be as high in quality as HH's other recent offerings. Everyone likes something different, great thing about this hobby. All models are customizable if you're a modeler.

[@aerospacematt9147]

@@shelbyseelbach9568 I’m not really a Draco fan either. It’s a little too large (and a little too expensive) for me. I wasn’t trying to convince you otherwise, just mentioning that it’s capabilities would work at my flying field. As an F-16 fan, a Bind N Fly F-16 is an incredible model, and I would definitely rather purchase this than Draco! (And I’m excited that they offer 4 different squadron schemes, while you can technically customize any model, I wouldn’t go paint this up to be a Thunderbird)

[@mikessi]

Feeling the pressure. Awesome work.

[@johna.s.3847]

Hell yes, I am get'n one. I love the way the 70mm edf flys. This one is way better. Fully loaded with all the good stuff. Super Wicked!!!!!!!!!

[@eddieksrc]

Wow what a beauty! You greased that landing in some crazy wind. Nice job guys!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Thanks Eddie. First try looked so good I took it. They don’t always go as well but that one is worthy of writing home to mama about. Lol👊

[@johna.s.3847]

I said I would get one. And it is a blast to fly. Super details, and reverse thrust is so cool on landings. Very easy to program the avian esc for reverse. I maiden flew mine today and the landings are so smooth. It feels a little heavier in the air than my 70mm edf f-16 but performs excellent. This is one SUPER WICKED falcon!!!!!!!!
