[@jettechdonatkins]

Great maiden flight with my favorite fighter jet.Hoping to see more of this one soon.Great job flying this Bobby and great job recording this Jeff!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks, will do!

[@strutbuster]

An awesome plane in the hangar and the air! Great job on the maiden!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

An excellent flyer 👏

[@papapsadventures6119]

Love the F-4...top 3 of my all time favorites!!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

The F4 is hard to beat for sure! Highly recommended this bird

[@roddraym]

Way to get it done, Bobby! And continuous props to your wingman, Jeff for making it possible for viewers to enjoy these flights.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It's our pleasure my friend! We do the best we can!

[@michaelhemmingsen4430]

Looking forward to getting mine in the air. Bought one ‘gently used’ so I could modify it with a clear conscience, by not bashing a new out of the box finished airplane. Great job on maiden and good call to omit flaps!

[@danculver2388]

And I want you to know that I really enjoy your videos.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

We certainly appreciate it! And we will continue to keep them going!

[@danculver2388]

Great job on the madden

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks 😊 I still get nervous with this big bird

[@Bill14886]

Awesome plane. Awesome Maiden.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thank you sir!!! And appreciate you watching!

[@kennethbrantley2469]

I love this plane. It brings back memories of seeing 2 real f4 flying low on the deck and made the windows rattle at my grand mothers. I think this is the best jet

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks Ken! Your lucky to have actually witnessed these birds in the air!!

[@davidgerlach1132]

Very nice, great flying and demo. I'm curious, maybe a little skewed, but how this awesome Freewing F-4D Phantom II flies and tracks in comparison to let's say the Freewing L-39 80mm?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks for watching!

[@tughillrc6327]

Very good job Bobby and Jeff, It looked and sounded awesome and Bobby was Ice on the sticks. Jeff good job even with the camera shake on approach. Enjoyed watching👍👍🥕🥒

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks man! I swear it's the expensive price that make me nervous flying this things lol i guess i better get over that!!🤣 and Jeff is much better on the camera that I am!

[@puudogp1850]

nice camo

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks I definitely think the camouflage give it more appeal

[@snoriverrc3842]

Great maiden. Love that Hangar 9 Cirrus in the background too.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks man! That Cirrus is a baby 👶 to fly!

[@garyanthony7864]

Is the handling and speed very different between the 6 cell and 8 cell set up?😊

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Yes, it is, more thrust and more speed but more weight from the extra lipos over 1 6s

[@dfrost42371]

Can RC planes even fly without decals?

[@Stinkles_]

Yeah but the decals add 5 horsepower each

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

I proved to you not only can they fly without decals...they can even fly with out all that cool and draggy gear dangling from the wings🤣

[@barnold62]

Needs the decals on

[@GazzaJollyRoger8152]

Beautiful plane, love the military style planes/jets! Nice flight. ✈🛩

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks for the kind words!!!

[@JustEnoughRC]

Beautiful Jet and great flight 👍👊✌️👏

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks for the nice words!!!

[@whatever52h]

Which lipo brand are you using?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

These were hoovo 4s 5200 lipos!

[@whatever52h]

@@RCPlaneReviewer They don't look like the Hoovo lipos.

[@gooniac33]

Good flight!! I wanna get one in Honor of Chappy James!! But no room right now! Lol

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Room for me is definitely becoming an issue too!!🤣

[@medscott2]

That was an awesome flight Bobby. 8s is the way to go for the FW Jets.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Absolutely right on!!!

[@lwrandall]

Great maiden. I had no doubt you would nail the flight. I’m looking forward to the Speedtest.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks 😊 and you know we got a Speed Trial coming!!!!!

[@BDTennessee]

Good flight! F4 is still a great bird :)

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks BD!

[@Stinkles_]

What a beautiful plane and paint scheme! Looks like this one had no issues at all taking off from the grass. Can’t wait to see the speed trial and some combat maneuvers on this beauty. PS, was that Jeff’s new big-ass trailer?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Yeah man the speed Trial is complete 👌 That was Jeff's trailer!!

[@coldude2559]

What was that plane in the background? it's beautiful!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

That is a KMP 30cc Cirrus SR22T

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Great job man, great flying jet especially on 8’s, but will definitely bite ya if your not careful 👊🏼👊🏼

[@ljhobbylife]

I’m glad you finally flew it, have you figured out the flap elevator mix yet, It took a while and still not perfect they’re pretty I land no flaps too for a while lol

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks LJ I haven't man lol but I'm gonna need to!!!

[@paulballard4243]

Field looks great guys. I was debating on getting this plane. You had another 30-60 seconds left on those batteries. I run em down to 20% fck it lol Nice flight guys!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Hahhaah your right we normally run them to 20-25% too!! Maximum that flight time!!!

[@pfranco3029]

Hey guys great maiden as always. Question what Expo did you run with this EDF. I tend to run my Expo high just to keep me from corkscrewing in the turns.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Hey and thanks for watching! We dont actually use any expo. I began flying with out it so with it, it feels weird and mushy. I've trained my thumbs to behave themselves and be smooooooth!

[@jerrydemas2020]

I was wondering why I couldn't hear the jets fire up! Not knowing that there were battery powered engines. I am impressed.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks! It's not as neat as a rc turbine Jet but it gets the job done and sounds cool doing it!

[@afterburnerrc6333]

Hey guys, awesome flight! I am just as guilty, mine has been sitting in the basement since last summer LOL! Just curious about the orange battery bank you use, do you use that to top off your batteries, how much juice does it have for charging?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It has a 80,000mah capacity and I use it to recharge my lipos and top them off. It's good

[@afterburnerrc6333]

@@RCPlaneReviewer Very cool, whats the name of it? I would imagine you mostly use 6S batteries, how many batts you estimate you can charge, just roughly?

[@winggs88]

Nice maiden
