Live Discussion: E-flite® F-16 Falcon 64mm EDF Jet

This was downloaded from the live stream on the Horizon Hobby Facebook page on 9/6/19. Our apologies for the video quality, but we wanted to share it here for those that might have missed it!
Originally developed for the U.S. Air Force and approved for production more than 40 years ago, the F-16 Falcon brought advances in fighter technology and capabilities that still top many of the aircraft flown by adversaries today. Its record of success with allied countries is outstanding, and it's expected to be in service with air forces worldwide for many years to come. E-flite® pays tribute to the full-scale fighter with the F-16 Falcon 64mm EDF jet that delivers incredible performance in a size suited for smaller flying sites. It's also one of the easiest and most fun to fly Falcon models yet when it's equipped with AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies.

[@ecruzjet]

I love HH, thank u guys for doing the great job

[@andygatenby9762]

Love these videos, keep them coming!

I just got the 64mm F16 and had great success with the maiden flight on a hand launch. The 4s power is epic and after a few turns, I switched off SAFE Select and let her rip with some barrel rolls and cork screws. Landing was relatively easy, although the nose cone will inevitably break off. However, the repair is easy. Great plane!

[@Trooper101st]

Nice ...Just got mine today' I have to hand launch as well got no smoothe surface where i live...Plus it looks better in the air without wheels on..Did you take of the Ordinance?

[@MrPipeline100]

@@Trooper101st - I usually fly without the ordnance as it goes even faster. If grass isn’t too tall, the ordnance should hold up OK. 🤙🏼

[@Trooper101st]

@@MrPipeline100 Thanx much appreciated👍 🛩

[@wtfmimshag]

Good to see you guys doing some hype on this little bird, she has been (pardon the pun) flying under the radar. It's an agile thing, was surprised how different it flies to the F-15 - much higher degree of attention required by the pilot.

[@DonsRCAirplanes]

You guys are the BEST

[@flyingtimes7717]

Very good flying jets. All them. If you have a low wing, tail dragger under your belt, you will have no problem with these :)

[@oliundtrude5318]

Easy going, very simple for beginner. Not to fast.

[@chrisquigley2580]

im having trouble finding the video you mention in the beginning of this one where you compare the f16 with the f15, can you help me find it? thanks in advance.

[@skyblazerrc7228]

Hinting at 90mm got me excited!

[@mikekennedy9174]

THE 70MM IS A SWEETHEART, NO REAL DOWNSIDES. ITS MY WINDY DAY edf ON 3700S

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Love the Aircraft from HH!

[@jerryzito6840]

I know this is an old video, but I have question. How do I replace the fuselage on the F-16 64mm "anniversary". Everything is glued on.

[@Big-Hass]

Hi Jason and HH team, I know my question has nothing to do with this 64mm F-16, but I would really really appreciate it if you can confirm whether there is any plan to convert FMS 70mm F-18 to EFlite version in the future. Thanks.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

No current plans for that, but please be sure to keep an eye on this channel and our web site over the next few weeks ;)

[@Big-Hass]

@@HorizonHobbyProducts Thanks guys. Can you at least confirm what class of EDF the upcoming jet(s) will be, 70mm, 80mm, or.......? Thanks.

[@wtfmimshag]

@@HorizonHobbyProducts More new EDFs? Guess I'll go grab my wallet ;)

[@TangyLlama]

Hey horizon, how durable is the nose? Is it plastic or foam? Also, how easy is it to launch compared to the f15 64mm? And how is it’s high alpha compared to the f15 as well?

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

I Personally Think That Y'alls VIPER 70mm Is The Best Jet You Have Ever Made & Easiest To Fly! Thanks

[@RylandH-Airsoft]

Can the 64mm fly without the missiles

[@RylandH-Airsoft]

Kaleb S ok thank you

[@marksteward5842]

question? i have been flying aeroscouts and valiant as well as timber x and clipped cub. will this jet be a good first jet given the planes i have been flying. Have moved up to the comfort level of safe off long enough to loop and roll and then back on to level flight. just curious since i just bought this plane and hope i will be able to fly it successfully.

[@M0rdH0rst]

The full-scale F-16 also have a very advanced kind of AS3X built in. Also, the air intake of the smaller version somehow reminded me of a guy named Rick Sanchez 🤪

[@Farmermanrc]

I got the new f16 64mm and have a couple complaints the nose cone didnt take lo g to be wrecked falls off constantly on takeoff or land breaks apart and the wing tip missiles broke on first landing but it's great to hang in my bedroom

[@jraemdonck]

Hi , which magnets do you recommend for the ordenens ?

[@jraemdonck]

@Kaleb S round or oval ? :-(

Or you got a bunch of pretty girls watching you and you start doing the stupid thumb moves LOL flip the switch gentleman... Because you're thinking with the other other other brain...lol

[@matthewjames2649]

Do you wear turbans¿ or is it turbine

[@matthewjames2649]

The Mig ... Is underpowered.. same thing as the habu umx.. but I did have a couple of boo boos with the little dude.. front landing gear keeps popping out of the plane... Lost three of my machine guns.

[@matthewjames2649]

And that's why I say landing is the best part about flying... get that plane up in the air . bring it right back around and land it keep doing it until you're comfortable... Now go play with the plane.
