Horizon Hobby - F-15 Eagle - 64mm - Still Kicking!

[@mountainr.c.]

Mr. Phillips I hope you and your family feels better. You are the reason why I got into this hobby. Your enthusiasm and kiddish excitement inspired me to buy my first plane and share this hobby with my daughter. Thank you.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you, and we are both nearly 100% - finally ;)

[@dalerbsr.5061]

Take care of yourselves, without you two this hobby would suck! :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Dale!

[@flyermarkbig465]

All good. Get your rest. We will be here when you are ready. Love your videos and the most excellent camera work.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you! We've been doing it. I haven't laied around and watched four college football games, like I did Saturday, EVER.

[@kevink.7697]

I pray your whole family gets well. Great job on your channel. Always enjoy watching your flying and comments with your camera crew.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Kevin! We're already getting way better, but my voice is still not 100%.

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

I can’t thank you enough for making this channel. Brian Phillips RC is my go to channel for my newfound addiction and the veterans at my flight field are amazed of how quickly I’m advancing. They actually come to me now with questions about setting up radios and receivers, new technology, and that’s because of your channel. 👍🏻 But….I don’t remember which plane video you did when you explained how to do the cornhole maneuver!

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Just Throw Both The Rudder + Ailerons Sticks FULL The Same Way, Either Right or Left While In A Up Attitude of 45 to 90 Degrees, Let It Snap-Spin A Few Turns, Then Apply Opposite Ailerons To Relevel... Good Luck! 😜😎

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks, and so glad you're finding what you need here on the channel. We're glad to have you here with us!!! As for the Cornhole...not sure when we "started" doing cornholes...it's kinda just "always" been there - LOL ;)

[@dhogkellum]

The F15 is a great little plane I still enjoy flying it and seeing you take it up again. Glad y’all are feeling better!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice!

[@Archon-Luke]

I fly the hell out of this plane. Since I’ve had it I’ve put well over 200 packs through it. I’ve been through two sets of gear and recently pulled them off and hand launch and belly land. I love this plane!! I also moved my elevator to the inside hole … I like the inside hole.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Me too ;)

AWESOME! Glad you're moving quickly through the ranks!!!

[@olivervaldes4223]

I bought a second one of these and I have mastered flying this thing . Doesn't like crosswinds for landings . No rudder...

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yep, I find myself trying to cross control to slow down the landings, but there's not that much rudder authority from my nose gear mod.

[@LeehamAndEggs1]

Brian Phillips ASMR will push this channel to new heights

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

:) Thanks ;)

[@scable-eq7bp]

I'm on my 3rd F-15 Eagle, the first two crashed due to pilot error and a servo flame out, both were destroyed, the new one has about 10 flights on it, running a Motion RC Eagle A3 V2 gyro in it. I like this gyro over the safe select, very easy to setup and you can control your gains from the transmitter. I also have the Arrows RC Marlin 64 mm edf, I upgraded the fan to a high out put 70 mm, running a 12 blade fan, its running on a small 6S battery from Flex Innovations. I also have the Arrows RC Mini Viper 50 mm edf, this little jet is a blast to fly, no gyro needed, it's fast with no bad habits......

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

COOL!

[@toddshobbyzone659]

You are so informative, I have the nx6 and the f15 and your step by step of the controller setup was invaluable to me. Like you said I paused and rewound the video a million times so I could have the exact information. Lol your 1:30 video took me 2:30 to view

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

EXACTLY why we do this ;) Glad you're with us...so much online is like "see what we did" and they never talk about WHAT they did or WHY they did it that way - but just remember when you're getting these planes, we do get punished by KZbin for long format, so click our link and you'll help get us back for any of that little bit of help you found ;)

[@mongoose4117]

Brian I have this edf jet and absolutely love it! I have hand launched it tons I grip it in front top of the canopy and pull it upward and forward it goes every time unless you drag it into your side got swing it wide. I also have flown it with gear and I really enjoy landing this jet on it gear!!😃💯👍I did set more travel in the elevators and ailerons for a wild roll rate! One thing I did thats super cool is add functional scale rudders. This jet with rudders will do sweet snap rolls with no aileron imput and the knife edge flight is fun. Definitely recommend the duel rudders. I really enjoy how this plane flys and lands without stalling ever! I have never had a bad landing with this jet but I have found if you belly land this thing at any alpha angle it rocks forward stabbing its nose cone into the ground and breaking it!😲😵gota slide it in level on its belly, its too fragile but in my f15 I put carbon fiber into the nose cone and whole front end of jet and now its very tough! Thanks for getting back to this little sweet heart! When i fly at the park near by this jet is quite often most admirers favorite plane.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

SWEET! Thanks for the pointers on the belly landings too! I still haven't done it ;)

[@M4rkmcc21]

Must admit this is a good jet. Was my first edf. Its very robust and can handle belly landings with ease. The foam just seems denser and better quality than other price range jets. I added some heli tape to the nice squared underbody and it lands nice and flat. My F16 64mm doesn't belly land as well and seems more fragile.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for the info. Was the twin 64mm the Arrows offering?

[@M4rkmcc21]

@@BrianPhillipsRC my F16 is the single edf by eflite. Its quite rare. I managed to find a last stock item for a good price. Lovely American flag colour scheme. Exact same unit as the f15 just slightly lighter.

[@tughillrc6327]

Appreciate the video , I am very aware how hard it is to make a video when your not 100%. I just lost a Arrows F15 National Guard Livery due to the left horizonal and vertical vibrating loose in flight. Parked in deep in a swamp so it was a total loss. The question is would you recommend this as a replacement? ✔⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎬🎥👍🗽

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Tough call. Depends on if you got this F-15 as a trainer, and if you're now advanced a bit past it, or if you're still working to master this step. That would be what I would base my decision making on.

[@6.5x14]

Have this jet and I love it! How do you deal with the bad turning radius of the nose wheel?

You can change the hole position on the servo, if I recall.

Cool video. I have both the f-15 and it's sister plane f-16 64mm like them both slot. The f-15 has better rails.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I would have liked to get the little F-16 too, but I was told the F-16 was a bit of a turd????

[@murrayperry7111]

Your right it is. You have to really have to set it up especially the rods to the tail. Or it just nose dives. But once they're set then it flys great. The F-15 is more stable. But the 16 can do high Alfas.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks again Crazy Aces!

[@aerospacematt9147]

You know, I actually found that it was easier to fly the F-16 70 (Thunderbird). Of course, I was flying the F-15 as a PNP, but still the Thunderbird felt more locked in to me.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Really? I've heard this before, but I never thought the F-16 was all that easy to fly, largely since I never could get the CG back far enough. We are re-reviewing it (with new AR631....fyi) and I hope to have advanced to a point where I can really show it better than before ;)

[@aerospacematt9147]

Awesome! Can't wait! I fly my T-Bird with a Gens Ace 3300 60C. I don't actually do much High Alpha with mine, but in terms of flying a pattern the Thunderbird just seems a little bit more locked in. Maybe it's the Ball links as opposed to clevisis on the F-15. The Eagle flies good, but the T-Bird just seems more comfortable to me. Have you flown the 64mm F-16? Now I WILL say that the 64mm F-16 is not as easy as the F-15.

[@flyjets305]

do you ever sneak across the street for some free corn on the cob? ;-)

Across the street is field corn. Sweet corn is the stuff you'd want to eat, and it's delicious! The stuff across the street would be used in animal feed or large scale milling operations, like for beer and other popular items.

[@Truthstillmatters2]

This hobby is depressing me big time. I’m so inconsistent with landings on my EDFs and I’m contantly breaking things on my jets, particularly the nose of the jet from stalling it... there is no margin for error like you have with a prop plane. I’ve got so much money invested in these jets I feel like if I stop trying all of my efforts are down the drain and I become a quitter. The hobby would be more enjoyable if I just stayed with prop planes. Any suggestions?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Get your CG back or you will be very frustrated. I used to have a lot more trouble, but when you get the CG back (almost tail heavy) you'll be better able to flare. Landing EDF jets is an art that is very tough, especially for newer pilots. Don't be discouraged...get better! It takes a lot of failure to find success on this. Practice makes perseverance (not PERFECTION - another lie of this world). You CAN do it...but if you're not ready, just relax, enjoy your prop planes and there's ZERO shame in working that out first. Get a tri-cycle plane and fly the wings off it....then keep working the system. Good luck - DON'T give up.
