Freewing F-4 Phantom 90mm EDF | HobbyView

[@Jez1963UK]

Lovely voice - I'm not even a hobbyist, this came up in my recommendations, and your world seems fascinating :) Thank you for sharing!

[@IllFlyIt]

Heck yeah what an awesome fella! Thanks for your service! Great flights!

[@gmboi2815]

Samono’s hobbies is a couple miles from my house, Mike is always helpful!

[@KartKing4ever]

Another fantastic video. And featuring one of my favorite planes of all time.

[@ponycarfan]

Oh, my goodness, that's fast! Always enjoy your videos!

[@lewiemotorsports3616]

If that was a growler E/a18 I wouldn’t be surprised if it had its em disrupter active lol good save and good flights!!

[@bobdegood71]

What an awesome video in so many ways! Thanks for sharing.

[@pyrotek40]

Long time ago in the late '70's my dad took me to an RC air show at JSC.. I remember a guy out there with a Hawker Hurricane, really big fighter and the pilot of the Hurricane sat up in his seat while he taxis on the runway.. Really impressive to a 10yr old...

[@tonyaccurso1090]

Nice job, Fitz! Glad you like it.

[@ThePara7]

Man you are awesome at this !! Love your videos

[@centerspike6613]

If he flew real F-4 Phantoms in the service why is the fuselage decal on upside down?

[@jeffham222]

Yup. ..and Mach1+ at 100' is suicide. I doubt this guy did as he claims--my BS detector is going off. That being said, cool model.

[@e30kitty]

@@jeffham222 did ur brain ever try to imagine that he was a f4 pilot who is flieing an rc plane atm and not interessted into what the real f4 can while doin that? rly.. use your cells mate

[@AerospaceMatt]

If I’m not mistaken, Freewing applies the decals at the factory. So he didn’t apply them himself, it just came that way.

[@daleyoung87]

Best narration voice ever!

[@derjoh1986]

Your head turns, from down/side position to facing the camera are hilarious sometimes. Lol .. 6:26

[@buckstarchaser2376]

That phantom really wants to be a ghost. Really neat sounds though.

[@SternLX]

Was stationed at George AFB for 2 years when the Wild Weasels were still active there before the base closure just after Desert Storm ended. Hated working under F-4's. If you've ever had to walk under one and got a Phantom Bite, you'll know what I'm talking about.

[@wkrum]

That brown out was really scary and could have cost you a very nice airplane and a substantial amount of money. I have seen many models with Spectrum receivers have similar problems. RC Geek lost a very nicely repainted F4 due to a receiver failure. Spectrum's answer to receiver failure has been to add satelite receivers. As far as I'm concerned this is a band aid approach and is the reason I don't fly Spectrum. Good luck!!

[@MrQuaazga]

I love watching your channel! I think the planes are so cool.. You know, my stomach poked out like that but my doctor took care of it. Esophageal hiatal hernia surgery.

[@ptrain9020]

Where do you get a radio that talks back to you like this guy has? What are the radios called specifically that talk to you when you make a selection like "take off flaps, and landing flaps".

[@Bear049]

Thanks God bless you brother

[@P222RL]

can you trim the gyro remotely ?

[@spanzer6179]

And speaking of rushes at 2:38 !

[@not_kasper]

I didn't have time to get my popcorn today, I was too exited to watch you fly the F-4, what are you planning next time? Perhaps a phoenix model aircraft again? An F4U maybe? Great to see another video from you again man!

[@HobbyView]

Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately no Phoenix models F4-U in the near future, but I have some others in the works (including another warbird). I have an interesting scratch-build that should be next and likely another 3D printed plane as well.

[@av8tore71]

My dad flew the RF -4 over Vietnam, he said it was the best scariest time of his life

[@valderja]

Nice. Smooth and fast.

[@joaobarcelosvaz2063]

Que rádio usa?

[@BDTennessee]

Good video! Enjoy flying mine too!

[@dariusrucker7854]

How does this compare to the E Flight Variant?

[@muzkat101]

How often does a 'radio hit' occur to most flyers? Is it common on both 72hz and 2.4ghz, or is is more isolated to one of the two main frequency bands? ...btw, I am not at all familiar (experienced) to much r/c flying.

[@HobbyView]

Radio hits with 2.4GHz are actually pretty rare, which is why I was surprised it happened. But my field is know to have a couple spots that cause issues with some radios. 72MHz is more susceptible to interference than 2.4GHz.

[@RC_Over_Dover]

Fantastic review, great camera work. I have a scale warbird. (In five broken bits at the moment) Dynam 1200mm Spitfire v2 MKIX. It flies great! I unfortunately don`t!

[@Kairasp1]

Sir hi, one very disturbing thing I noticed on the F-4 Phantom i.e. the USAF logo on the right side fuselage & left wing is inverted i.e. it has been stuck up side down. WHY

[@okiedoak201]

Did you ever get a new reciever and do another review flight....

[@SebastianLong]

I hate how many companies make such sweet RCs. I'm already neck deep in surface RCs and recently purchased my first plane. Lol

[@williamfletcher3410]

My father, Capt. Ken Fletcher, also flew the F4 R in Vietnam.

[@greatquotestoliveby]

Good job man.

[@MultiSkyman1]

Fix that decal!!!

[@rudylerma3042]

Yes its upside down!

[@da5thletter.]

Thank you for your service, i salute you, hm3

[@Stone177]

Timer is set for 3 Min.

[@alliejr]

Fitz!!! Missed you, brother. I'm curious (and ignorant). How, exactly, is this thing powered? I guess there is a battery onboard for the electronics and radio, but does it really have a tiny jet engine? That doesn't seem possible or practical. What's the fuel?

[@HobbyView]

Hey...um...who are you, again? The name is not ringing any bells, we know each other from somewhere? The model is all electric powered with a relatively powerful electric motor spinning an impeller at high speed. Uses lithium polymer batteries.

[@alliejr]

Thanks! for the info. (Yes, I know idiot's question, but I'm ignorant about all of this). Only know you from this channel, but missing your more frequent updates.

[@justanotherguy469]

@@alliejr It was a good question. I am a beginner as well and sometimes things can get a bit confusing.

[@basimpsn]

They do have f4 model powered by single stage turbine engines..with kerosene for fuel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nabXnJKnq9-VrNE

[@usafr1pilot]

when you landed without flaps early in the video, how come you didn't deploy your drogue chute to help you slow down? hehehehe! Good flying there by the way.

[@interman7715]

Came in hot .

[@williewideback]

LOL enjoyed the video review

[@garyhilson7220]

Damn Bro, look at that BEER GUT!!!!

[@pittsburge88]

Been doing some good eating!

[@germocane7025]

Hi Sir There is anyway that I could contact you to meet you at the NASA flying field. Have some electric jet and need hep with them Thank you very much in advance

[@HobbyView]

You can contact me thought the HV facebook page or e-mail link on my youtube channel page.

[@bobturner3388]

Why is it you plane guys don’t use crossfire! I’ve gone miles and miles with crossfire without a single glitch. As long as antenna is correctly setup it’s issue free

[@Vaterraman]

I use xfire, but sadly you are limited in channel count, unless you buy an sbus converter (and I didn't want to wait for the slow boat from China). Of course, you could buy the full size rx, but that one is nearly $200, large and cumbersome, and harder to get a hold of. TBS cater to quads and wings, not scale aircraft, or aircraft with more advanced control surfaces.

[@stephenparker8221]

It’s not a real on you don’t have to land at 169mph

[@blackbirdpie217]

Stabilators.

[@craigjones4587]

why do people need stabilizers shouldnt be flying if you need one
