Freewing F-16 90mm EDF Flight Demo

The Plug and Play (PNP) version includes a powerful 1550kv outrunner motor and 130A ESC, and is designed for the common 6s 5000mah lipo battery size used in several other Freewing jets. A KIT+ version is also available for pilots who want to install their own power system. For more information visit www.motionrc.com/freewing-f-16...

6:01 Hey man, respect that canopy! LOL

[@uthink3]

One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Informative yet entertaining. This jet is in my wish list. Good job Motion RC

[@Lozzie74]

Great video! That starting sequence with multiple jets and the cockpit voice-over was brilliant!

[@davidthompson5710]

Fantastic. Best jet review I have ever seen. I love getting two pilot's perspectives. Great camera work, I can actually see the plane! Opening shots were wonderful! Might have to order one of these asap!

[@stevehodges3335]

Thanks for the speedy reply! Very nice job flying these birds off a relatively short runway.

[@WeLuv9x5]

My Freewing F-16 90mm arrived today! Can’t wait to get into this kit!!

[@be020964]

Great going guys !!! Nice to see Mikey is staying on the Meds ..... What a Beauty !!!!!!!!

[@rebeccabussino4426]

just ordered this and the 90mm stinger. i almost ordered the t45 but i have a soft spot for the falcon. thanks brad. love motionrc....

WOOO HOOO! That is super cool to see a swarm of RC fighter jets! They're like real fighter jets. Thanks for that amazing video :)

[@jcjrdigital5570]

Fantastic video! I'm saving up for one of these. I've flown 64mm jets for the last two years and I'm ready for the 90mm F-16!

[@MotionRC]

Thanks! Be ready for the extra weight and higher wing loading. The Stinger 90 is the lightest 90mm and is very forgiving. Mike and I love the F5 for the warm up. We think it flys very similar to the F16 but is more forgiving.

[@jcjrdigital5570]

Thank you for the advice! Will I be able to fly this with my Spektrum Dx6? Motion RC​

[@MotionRC]

Yes, I use a dx6

[@Rusty2winfan]

Just ordered this this Friday and getting it tomorrow.I already have the Freewing F-14, now this..All I need now is a Freewing F4 Phantom 2(Cough Cough)..LOL

[@dep92]

Captain Mike looks like an old school cop with that stache. Add the hat and he looks like every rendition of a police sketch artists drawing of "the bad guy". Then I thought I heard a bit of an accent. I kind of had an ah ha moment. The stache, the hat, the accent, he's Canadian!

[@MotionRC]

ha ha yes he's a Canuck and he does the Baffin boogie here in America.

[@johncgibson4720]

The engine sound is real top notch for edf. Almost sounds like turbine.

nos encanta el f16 y que buenas tomas en primera persona

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Very nice!!!

[@slyfly4829]

im going to buy one of these, my buddy bought one and he even put speakers with a recording that sounds like a jet engine and goes louder as you increase throttle to give it that realism,

[@MotionRC]

Sounds cards are an awesome detail to add

Nice aircraft well flown. I thought the T6NL warning was cool even though it comes from BAe. There is a cockpit YT vid out there in TY land of a Canadian Mk 115 Hawk crash following a bird ingestion and you can clearly hear the T6NL advisory as the engine fails...And yeah, I have 16 years maintaining Hawks...

[@YoSneeze]

Nice Jet and Flying ;)

[@roachcoachhelis6387]

I actually had the two jets that were used for this video Dave's RC has one now and I have the other and they were even autographed by Pilot Ryan

[@carmelocatalano307]

which was the weight of your battery? i have a 6s admiral carbon 5100 70C it is heavy and maybe is the same weight of your. i want to find the right position. thanks

[@turbonetic777]

What percentage do you have the flap settings? My takeoff flaps are at 50% and landing at 90%, how ever it seems the plane wants to stall with full flaps. I have the Thunderbird version and use Spektrum Dx8e transmitter

[@carmelocatalano307]

which battery are you using? with the normal admiral 5000 50C you have to put the battery a little bit more near the front. i think you are using an heavy and bigger one and that the reason you found that position. for example now i bought the carbon admiral 5100 70C and they are heavier 100gr so i put them in the position you put your battery.. please let me know about the battery used in this video. thanks

[@briansliman7428]

when the heck are your guys going to review the Freewing F-15?

[@Jeffrey-817]

Is it possible to fly this ac off grass? I am looking at a used demo paint scheme version.

[@Mrtcoltpilot56]

Just received the Freewing T-Bird F-16C from Motion RC and can't wait to get into it. My girlfriend said I have to wait till my birthday (59) in two weeks to open it. Drooling of course looking at that packed cardboard box. I am going with the upgrade inrunner motor, UBEC, ESC, JP electric 60mm wheel brakes, Mr. RC Sound and AS3X Rx with the DX8 Tx. I will utilize the information that you provided for the flaperon set up. My winter project and will paint the landing gear and wheels white with a chrome painted tail cone. Have flown other EDF's such as the Super A-10 which flies great and can be seen at Mrtcoltpilot here on utube. Any extra comments will be greatly appreciated. US Navy Retired Cheers

[@MotionRC]

Dude, get to work. Just put the box back and tape it up. Lol

[@Mrtcoltpilot56]

Ordered the 8s upgrade in-runner motor and fan yesterday along with the UBEC. The 150amp ESC OPTO has been back ordered. Birthday November, Friday the 13th, then the transformation begins. I will be bringing it to the Toledo Show with my mods.

[@MotionRC]

Sounds awesome. The Tbird scheme looks great!

[@caseygray6028]

[@danieldorn2927]

Where is the onboard camera installed? on the vertical stabilizer?

[@MatthewShermanHappy420]

sweet...I'm thinking i now need a jet

[@winnerwolf9546]

Best part of the video Mikey manhandling the plane like a gorilla throwing the cockpit on the ground ripping off the ordnance maxing out the fan and pushing down on the wings to show the plane doesn't tip over .... you think he was selling samsonite luggage I was waiting for the opps on the piton on the nose ... great video tough bird

[@MotionRC]

+Johnny Rabuse Thats hilarious, you should see him shove his planes in the back of a Aztek. It will go in one piece, and come out is several pieces. He has the worlds biggest collection of pitot tubes.

[@winnerwolf9546]

hahah he drives an Aztec??? great shades of Mr White in breaking bad ...

[@GBLynden]

+Motion RC It is amazing he has such finesse with the camera lol

[@arriliesbiggs8510]

Can I fly this as a new flyer or what's a model you'd recommend for a beginner? Thanks in advance

[@ChrisO214]

I know nothing about this company, but the fact they used Shaw AFB coding, and it's even a 77th Gambler Jet, I'm already know I'm buying this DOUBLE DOWN

[@hondagerm24]

Do I need a controller for this plane or does it come with one ?

[@willieanderson3819]

Can you use a 6S 6000 mah 50C on the high performance version of this Jet?

[@TecateMan555]

What camera did you use at 0:23 and how did you fix it?

[@MasterMayhem78]

I just received an FMS P51 1400mm. Upon opening the box and checking contents, I noticed that I was missing glue, and spare prop blade and assorted spare parts. What would be the best glue to use?

[@MotionRC]

We love the Foam Tac glue we sell

[@m8knitcount]

Great video!! Could you let us know what model/type of onboard camera that you used? Thanks!

[@MotionRC]

+m8knitcount That camera is called Mobius, you can find it on our website under the electronics tab and click cameras.

[@m8knitcount]

+Motion RC Ok, thanks!

[@CurtisDart]

How did you mount the camera..As soon as I saw that footage, I got excited about the possibility of this plane.

[@rudyyeung6374]

Despite it is made of foam, it looks so real unless you are less than a couple of feet away from it.

[@WickedMoto]

stupid question, since im a newer pilot, how do you keep that shallow turn angle but still youre able to keep the turn somewhat tight? is that adding just a little rudder or alot?

[@MotionRC]

A little rudder goes a long way in a jet at speed

[@WickedMoto]

@@MotionRC sweet, I’ve just been banking and yanking with the jets. I’ll give a smidge of rudder

[@thegrayeagle9181]

I like to know what type radio you guys are using in one in this video was talking to the pilot . Very cool. Like to have one like that.

[@MotionRC]

A Bigger View Real Talk Pilot Ryan was using a DX6 Mike is using a DX8 or 9

[@MrFishface5]

Guys can you tell me how much percentage on the flaperon movement you have on the take off and the landing setting

[@MotionRC]

+John Knopp Hi John, our take-off flaps are down, slightly shy of half flap. Check the manual for down flap measurement and set just above half flap. I didn't like full flap for landings so I set mine around 19mm. Every plane's servos and radio are different so you'll have to experiment a little to iron out what works best for you.

[@darreloutland4604]

How bad would the f16 be if it had vectored thrust?

[@lhansenrc9262]

Is this the new high performance version ?

[@dalgrim]

how long is that runway? Is it US230?

[@hifinsword]

Any comments on grass landings? Is the nose gear up to it, or do they bend after a while?

[@MotionRC]

GEar is always down when landing or you'll destroy the ordnance and little peripherals

[@hifinsword]

@@MotionRC So you're saying the NOSEGEAR is NOT UP TO IT! You can do better than that. I was hoping the forward raked angle would help with grass landings but the smallish nosewheel takes away that advantage apparently. The mains look very solid. But the nosewheel appears to be an Oleo, not a trailing link. The oleo nosewheel is in keeping with the real thing, scale quality. But that doesn't help with the majority of us that fly off grass. I want to give it a go, but without some clear solid grass landing endorsements, I'll pass.

[@MotionRC]

@@hifinsword Sorry, I read your comment wrong. Thought you meant you wanted to land with the gear up (belly land). The gear on this 90mm F-16 is as robust as any 90mm Freewing model. All of them are made with the grass pilot in mind (hence the larger than scale wheels). You will have no problem on most decent manicured grass runways. Plenty of videos out there, just search Freewing F-16 Grass and you'll find them

[@hifinsword]

@@MotionRC Thanks for the clarification, and the suggestion.

[@nazur72]

so cool.. I might get into this hobby..how much would all that cost?

[@guitarman10000005]

Bossman a plane like that would probably be like $300 - $400, but that's not a good plane for someone who is new to flying rc planes

[@nuawaratbejrsuwana3316]

How much it cost?

[@brent4770]

Is it true you can only fly for around 3 min.'s at a time?

[@MotionRC]

Depends on how you fly them. Throttle management can extend flight times. But 3-5 minutes in a jet is exhilarating. When i started with jets I had 1/2 and like 1 battery for each. I would do those 2 flights, get the batteries on charge and relax with a warbird or high wing cub, and then the jets batteries would be good to go for the next round

[@DrEvil-yx4vr]

Someone out there control that besuty just with tailerons ? And flaps just for start and landing?

[@MotionRC]

Pilots definitely have. HEad over to Hobbysquawk.com and read through the thread

[@PhilipAlonzo]

Isnt it a f16 fighting falcon

[@michaelorsini9695]

I'm thinking of getting an EDF Jet. Are they hard to fly?

[@MotionRC]

Not once your confident in your flight skills. But I wouldn't start the hobby with an EDF Jet as your first experience. A trainer plane is highly recommended

Small fighter pilots: WOOOO HOOO! My heart is boiling! Control tower: shut up. stop acting like you're excited or else you get into solitaire. Commander band Dog: agent 13 here is the mission take down or destroy anybody that's trying to shoot down the C-17 weapons free you're clear to engage. Enemies: aim for the large transport (c-17). 30 minutes Later, enemies: all Sam systems and fighter aircraft we have a new mission and a new plan forget the C-17 don't worry about the big one shoot down the fighter jets that are protecting it. So the C-17 does not have fighter aircraft that are escorting it.
