Many thanks.Excellent,and natural. review.😎

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@mikepi660]

Love your videos Jon,,,, keep em coming,,,,,, Great,,,,

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!!

[@Royshanger]

The F-18 is one of my all-time favorites. The FMS 70mm is still the best 70

[@JonsRC]

This plane is awesome! Even without any sort of stabilization gyro, she flies like she’s on rails!

[@Royshanger]

@JonsRC The new FMS F-16 70 mm is awesome. I have the freewing and it is still fast.

[@Royshanger]

@JonsRC The F18 and the F16 air frames are the best models to fly. In my opinion, Oh yeah the Freewing F-22 90mm 😻

[@Killerplanes]

Very sweet! Nice video, and smooooth flying!

[@Aussiem8e]

Love it! Very scale too.

[@J.S.RCHobbies]

Great flights on the jet Jon. You look like you have been flying that jet for years. It sounds so much better than the V1. This jet was truly my favorite to fly from my collection. Love the low passes, especially with the ordinances on. Awesome maiden!

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@ramsandrzr3706]

Very very cool Jon and awesome flying. I am loving on the jets too lately I just bought the A-10 thunderbolt v2 e-flight from horizon hobby got about eight batteries through it so far

[@JonsRC]

Thank you! The A-10 is also an awesome jet! One of my favorites!

[@user-vb5rc3sf2x]

Nice video. Some of your Stars and Bars decals are on upside down.

[@mikechappell2377]

Nice job, you are very informative keep them coming

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@jayaustin3096]

That plane looks awesome in the air. Glad you left the ordinance on, needs lights for a all gray plane. Great job flying. Thanks for sharing.

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@steverudd5745]

Awesome, Jon. Another great flight with another beautiful plane! Keep up the good work!

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@LeeShand]

Nice flight!

[@andystoybox1723]

Awesome jon ! Love that jet ! Has such great sound for a 70

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@BillKisel]

The sound can really add or subtract from the realism of a scale flying model... like you noted this one sounds pretty good.

[@JonsRC]

I have seen and heard an actual F-18 In flight during air shows. This RC model’s sound obviously doesn’t compare but it sure gives this model a lot of realism in flight!

[@punaleinaala]

I love plens

[@FalconFlight747]

With your experience in the flying hobby so far, would you be interested in making one the these videos on your channel: • Top 5 or Top 10 of your favorite planes • Top 5 of your easiest planes for beginner pilots • Top 5 of your favorite battery manufacturers like Spektrum, etc. • Top 5 helis It would be interesting to see your favorite picks so far but this is just a suggestion! Wishing you & your family well

[@JonsRC]

Thank you for the ideas! My dad and I love your ideas! We will start writing the script for it and hopefully come up with a video this month on “My top 5 favorite jets!”

[@FalconFlight747]

@@JonsRC That would be awesome man

[@jayford4685]

U got some skillz just a matter of time before they send you a bunch planes to test

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@flytobi7834]

First! Nice Plane

[@pyworthy]

Hi Jon, nice videos your putting out,on another topic can you tell me what throttle curves and pitch curves you have in your transmitter for your 470 LP pls.

[@Youworstnightmare77]

I know that place... Whittier air strip. South el monte ca

[@bayverseprime5869]

multistratus

[@daz6269]

I just bought this plane and I was wondering if you had specs on the flap percentages and if you need to. Mix in Elevator, also what was the best cg too

[@mikehench8209]

That’s a great plane but how did you know the fuel tank affected the flight characteristics if this flight was the maiden? Were you guessing or did you fly it off camera first? Just curious. Maiden means it the first flight ever!

[@JonsRC]

Hi! Yep! I know what a maiden is! I know this about the fuel tank because I also have an E-flite F-16 80mm that I did a maiden video on. I have flown it with and without the fuel tank and it definitely makes a difference! Link to F-16 80mm video kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ_ZlmiDjdqVrrs

[@mikehench8209]

Agreed!!!! I have those jets as well. 90mm f22 is amazing if you don’t have one you should get one some day! Great videos and thanks for the content!!

[@KhaliduzzamanMredul]

What did you use for the engine?

[@JonsRC]

Hi! This was a PNP so it came with the stock KV1900 inner-running motor.

[@ApexBizzySolutions]

So if I drop my spektrum 8channel telemetry receiver with my Avian esc I should in theory be able to program reverse thrust?

[@JonsRC]

Pretty much! You need a Smart Avian ESC paired with a DX or NX transmitter. Spektrum RC does mention on their how-to video that you may need to update the ESC firmware if the ESC is too old.
