HSD F-16 105mm EDF

HSD F-16 105mm EDF, approximately 1:8th scale, all stock electronic equipment. Early 120a version.
Gyro off and throttle to elevator mix disabled.
Landing gear sequencer fault so had to fly with the gear down. Forgot to bring the wing rails and missiles so she looks a little naked!
Zero wind conditions and the sun had just come out making it hard to orientate on the final hence the go around to check, but better to be safe than sorry.
With a head wind this Jet will come in nice and slow at a real nice angle of attack. With todays conditions I had to keep a little speed up while landing and thats where the brakes are fantastic on our short runway.
This is easily my favourite EDF and is such a well mannered, good flying F-16. Not the fastest (especially with the gear hanging down!) but big planes always look slower. Although these have been radar clocked at over 100mph.

thanks for showing your flight without throttle to elevator mixing. Very nice landing!

[@DarrenRC76]

Thanks, as soon as I get a new gear sequencer I'll post some more videos. My other hsd f-16 video from grass has the same throttle-elevator mix disabled but with the gyro on.

Beautiful bird and great flying W. And the sound of that baby is awesome. Thanks for posting and greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

[@DarrenRC76]

Thanks for watching and the kind comments. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey W. I would love to have one but I cant get it in Europe. Cheers, Robert

[@DarrenRC76]

Its really difficult to get anywhere! If you really want one the only place which seems to be able to get them is Toucan Hobby, you can find them on eBay. They will ship it to you direct from China. Not only does HSD struggle to keep it in stock but the massive box hinders shipping too. Good luck! :)

Thanks W for the tip. Cheers, Robert

hey mate nice flight on this bird. were you trimming down elevator to bring her down? just heard beeping on landing approach. Cheers mate

[@DarrenRC76]

Ashley Mills, Hi mate, thanks for the comments. The beeping when landing is the throttle position, I have a beep to indicate zero throttle. You can notice this more on the grass field video I took of this plane.

WhirlyBird ahh awesome that makes sense. have you still got this bird? are you Australian too mate?

[@DarrenRC76]

Ashley Mills. Ha ha! Not Australian, I'm from Norfolk in England! Funny how many people think the Norfolk accent is similar 😀

[@ashleymills6744]

WhirlyBird haha just the word "mate" ive only heard my kind (aussies) use it lol.

[@DarrenRC76]

Ashley Mills, it's pretty common terminology here 😃
