FTL Innovation 1/7 Scale F-16 Unboxing - Turbine RC Jets made EASY!

[@warthunderguy529]

1-7th scale is crazy big also nice video

[@FarmerFpv]

You are going to have no problem flying it. You're a great pilot. You're going to wonder why you were scared to begin with. I was scared with my first Turbine which was the SAB Antartica Havok Turbine Jet with high angle Thrust vectoring. It turned out to be so much fun and much easier than I thought. Some advice that has saved me from crashing Turbines is always to use high rates and expo when landing. If you don't use high rates with a turbine jet you will lose it to the ground guaranteed. High rates for landing are a must. Turbines don't have propwash going over the control surfaces which is why you want as much throw as possible when going slow for landing. The throttle delay you will get used to. Practice flame-out drills. Plan ahead your actions if you have a flame out mid-flight and it doesn't automatically restart. Practice flame-out scenarios so it becomes second nature to drop the nose and make your turn approach without second guessing. Other than that it is like flying an EDF. You got this Master Jay! I believe in you! Don't play Leonard Skinner while flying and you will be ok. lol

[@Jays_rcgarage]

All great advice! Appreciate you taking the time to write it out 🙏🏼 the last line is HILARIOUS 😂

[@lucidgaming4524]

I'm so stoked for the maiden flight!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

I’m a bit worried! Going to fly the MB-339 first lol

[@BluegrassStateRC]

I love companies offering PNP options, but you still have to check on everything thats preinstalled. Last PNP turbine F16 I assembled had quite a few issues that if not found, could have easily resulted in an accident. Aileron servo mount screws not tightened all the way down (noticed this by pressing on the servo body, could rock the servo back and fourth 3/8"), preinstalled clunk line was able to make it to the front of the tank very easily, tank had a ton of loose fiberglass/resin inside just to name a few. Nothing that wasn't easily remedied but most companies even state that PNP models are not assembled by hobbyists, so its best to double check everything. The quality of that jet at first appears very impressive, especially considering the price tag. Good luck buddy!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

I'm really impressed with the color schemes of the Turkish Air Force. They have a 50th anniversary F-4 Phantom that is beyond cool looking.

[@chacoayala8909]

That is one of the micest jets ive seen bro.. i am ready to see the video of you flying it.. thanks for the awesome content you share with us Jay 🙏🏽

[@BentenIronman]

Loved it and respect your hardwork hope to see it flysoon ❤

[@Lfs1891]

Sweet jet. Ive always liked the skymaster jets. But the price, this is a reasonable price range to get started, cant wait to see her fly.

[@recoveryfpv8539]

I disagree, I think you are totally ready for this plane. Thanks for posting this journey, it is one I hope to be on this next year myself. SEND IT BRO!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Appreciate you! Hope to see you with something awesome 🔥

[@rccosplay3249]

Great video as it brought back memories. I had a Fly Eagles Jets F-16 1/8th scale, Same Tiger meet color scheme, 14 years ago. Loved the way it looked, hated the way it handled in flight. Don't care much for scale replicas, not much lift on them with those razor thin wings. Good for war.... I'm not at war, nor do I intend to be any time soon.

[@FabianIsaac-g2h]

I am very interessed to see this one fly - when can we expect the maiden?

[@jalenrcracing1216]

Oooh yeah thanks for the review jay!

[@ST2JZ]

That thing looks amazing !!!😮

[@3DPrintHangar_RC]

This unboxing video🔥🔥 That plane is INSANEEEE

[@seanpettit6410]

LOL! That is a sweet Jet JAY! I can't wait to see it fly. With Thrust vectoring oh man! I am far north in western MA. You are correct, this weather sucks for flying and making vids in! keep up the Great vids Man!🥶🥶

[@thomgizziz]

Holy parasocial nonsense, get help.

[@xbox_gaming_clips8363]

Love your videos man, making me want to get into the hobby, keep it up love your stuff.

[@wraith657]

I can't wait to see you fly it.

[@TomislavReskovic]

Nice! Happy maidren

[@DPain82]

See I built actual planes with composite. It would be super easy to make molds to pop cf parts for production. Im tempted to try it with a yf23.

[@Airplaneman10000]

That is really cool this makes it so much easier. I’m going to start saving up.

[@FarmerFpv]

Me too, I already have the SAB Antartica Havok Turbine which was a pain to put all together, This FTL will be much easier to get another turbine in my hanger. Good, luck. I hope you get it soon!

[@feelgooddany]

Waowww!! Looking forward if you fly her!!

[@fighterpilot714]

Every other turbine company watching this video: “WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR SALES”

[@Jays_rcgarage]

😂😂😂😂

[@SonnyPruitt-q1s]

That is beautiful! Are you going to make videos showing the build until complete?

[@michelle692day]

Reminds me of my FLYEAGLE 1/8 and 1/5.5(2ea). They went out of business years ago!

[@ProjectFlasche]

Love ur content man! I still need to finish my PilotRC slick 67.. Hope u have fun with the F-16 ;-)

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Love the Slick!! Pilot makes some nice 3D ✈️

[@RCDude04]

Do you have to have a certain license to fly turbine jets? I have always wondered that since I see so many people flying them at some of my somewhat local fields. Also, congrats and have a heck of a time flying it. I believe in you Jay!

[@flyboywbl]

God damn it. I may have to order one 😂

[@QuickNick10]

Nice plane!

[@csullivancox]

No flaps? Is that normal for F16s? I wouldn't know. Beautiful jet, like nothing I've ever seen.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Full scale has trailing edge Flaperons. Which I’ll program on this as well!

[@KevinThoele]

F16 uses flaperons not separate flap

[@martinsandqvist1726]

You should be proud, you deserve to fly a so nice jet. You give much to us , you share your experience with us.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@TheAviationGuy-s8k]

Hi first and hope you have fun flying it.

[@SonnyPruitt-q1s]

What will be the cost of that nice jet with turbine and all?

[@Tintenfisch101]

When do you make the umx turbo timber evo Video? ❤

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Very soon. It’s so cold I don’t want to fly 😂

[@Tintenfisch101]

@@Jays_rcgarage Thanks guy😁❤

[@Kairasp1]

Sir hi, where did you buy it from, please give me their web page URL. Merry Christmas & a Happy New year to you & your family.

[@daysdesigns]

So when did you go about getting your turbine waiver? Do you have any other turbines?

[@Jays_rcgarage]

I still don’t. I’m signed off to take the test. Just need someone with a CD. Maybe at Joe Nall this year.. I fly with 2 turbine waiver pilots one on buddy box

[@quintinatkinson399]

Less than 10 min gang👇

[@sharrodjohnson336]

It gets damn cold in Tejas

[@Jays_rcgarage]

NY cold ? My guess was we will be flying this in mid to upper 20’s 🥶

[@sharrodjohnson336]

@Jays_rcgarage Yessirr, the land is 10x larger than the trees are tall. You get the sense of that when you're there as well; nothing can stop those winds. Dope purchase on the F16 btw!🤘

[@FarmerFpv]

It looks like you are opening a wooden crate full of AK47s and RPGs. 😂

[@robertjones1855]

What are the servos in the plane

[@jimbell2236]

Theta

[@falconwings]

Want to see someone fly it like a BVM see if it doesn't break into pieces in the air.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Stay tuned

[@PKS5Official]

I want one but 5k with the turbine is out of my budget, maybe later

[@maximiliantorbidoni-u1k]

3:16 if the knife fell straight down there would be a hole in the f-16

[@andyschulze8854]

@whistlindiesel will do the Maiden flight 🤣

Shortest flight in history

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

Awesome Jet Jay! Glad to see no winers 😢 in the comments. “I wish I could have one” “You get everything for free” “Companies pay you what to say”. If partially true sometimes so be it. Ask any of us RC Channels how much we’ve spent over years and years. Would be nice to one day get something for free. HIT THAT LIKE IF YOU AGREE! 👇🏻

[@Jays_rcgarage]

My monthly RC bill is outrageous. I get some stuff free. But I also purchase ALOT 😂

[@Jays_rcgarage]

It’s free

Let me fly it

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Roll up ✈️

[@lewiemotorsports3616]

This ain’t your first turbine I’m sure you’ll be fine, you actually care about this plane and not just doing this for nothin or because someone paid you to, and I bet you ain’t gonna crash on purpose and blame the plane like other youtubers lol look forward to the maiden

[@Mrpenguinn217]

Under one hour

[@57rcpilot]

121 lbs

[@CMB21497]

Nice, but you must be made of money. Please don't crash her.

[@EvilMerlin]

Yours (with Turbine) for only $6000. Sorry that's stupid money...

[@jh10216]

Too rich for my blood.

[@coldude2559]

Looks expensive....

[@paulschab8152]

Around 4k. I would have insurance on it lol

[@diegoazevedo9264]

🫡

[@thomgizziz]

Dude you are acting like the shell is the majority of the expense. You are going to be in this around 10k by the time you add everything you need to make a flying plane. Also you said the weight of it shows that it is quality... weight is the last thing you want in an RC plane. GTFO of here with your nonsense... did they pay you to make this video and you just aren't telling anybody, getting kickbacks? People like you are the worst.

[@danflom1271]

Are you nervous enough to actually read the instructions and not crash on the maiden? That has been a trend for you. I have enjoyed your videos but you seem to be getting lazy and making stupid mistakes. Sorry for the harshness but that's what I see.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

I agree. The foamies I usually rush out and send it. This one was still really new when I got it and didn’t actually have English instructions. They are coming through this week and I’m going to study like I have a driving test lol

[@shabo857]

$6500!!! GTFO!!!

[@AN-ce1nd]

It’s just to expensive and I don’t want to use that engine. Nah, pass.
