Thank you very much! Did the maiden on my REDEMPTION Eflite F-16 from the one I crashed. Another victory dance...well a small one.lol

[@richardk302]

@@FatGuyFliesRC I don't think I saw that one. I did see the crash video, so sorry, that hurt me too!

You read my comment! Now I understand what you mean by percentages. It's controller dependent. Got it. Thank you for clarifying.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks 👍 Who needs a workout routine just fly EDFs and you heart rate with stay up!!!!...LOL!

[@robbender2872]

I know the feeling! I maidened mine two weeks ago and I was nervous as all get out. It flew beautifully though!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

As soon as it was in the air I knew it was going to be a great flyer!

[@robbender2872]

@@FatGuyFliesRC The one common thing I’ve heard about the F-18 is to keep the speed up in the turns.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

@@robbender2872 Well to be honest that is true with any jet.

[@robbender2872]

@@FatGuyFliesRC Very true, can’t argue with that!

[@cybersecuritydeclassified4793]

Great job! Glad you're feeling better! I've got a question that may sound weird. I've got my 90mm F-22 dialed in, I can yank and bank use flaps. When I try to use rudders F-35 and F-22 the plane flips and if I don't return the sticks back to SAFE neutral position they will crash. Gyro works well on all control surfaces but the rudder. I've checked for correct direction. It's got to be something simple. Thanks for all your hard work. Radio is NX10SE.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Try turning down the throws or deflection on the rudders, You have 2 so it does not take much. I am surprised my f18 did not do the same since it has similar rudders. but then again the F22 and F35 both have lifting bodies and the F-18 does not.

great video. where did you purchase that balancer from?

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

From hobby king but always out of stock. got it years ago.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

[@FatGuyFliesRC]
