Mark 1 Eyeball ! Still the best !

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hahaha!😂. Exactly!

[@trsoderberg]

Nice work Johnathan. Going to tell the old man he can't trust his eyes anymore ... Cause he's old. Can't wait to see this bird in person

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊. Meh. His eyes still work! I think. She is girthy!!!!!!!

[@jeptj5442]

that will be cool plane once done

[@thelightersideofrc]

I think so! Tiny little wings and massive fuse!

[@rikusnagel5474]

Very cool

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Jonathan, Have to agree it is COOL looking. It's amazing how accurate you can get just using your eyes. I bet it's nice having all that room available to work. Looking forward to the next installment. You and Katie stay safe.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Don! Looking forward to the new garage where I will have more!

[@georgewatts9361]

Can’t wait to see this build through maiden and tuning flights.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks George! Yea looking forward to it myself! Maiden will be a hoot! With the fuel system changes we have planned it should make the plane much better than the stock setup! No c of g shift through flight

[@hankdurrer5650]

Been waiting for a long time for this build. Great video as usual. Thanks for all you do.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Hank! Appreciate it!😊

[@cecilgraval7915]

That’s a pretty impressive stable of Jets in the background!

[@russellvoth5161]

One of them is your F18 from BC.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea! It’s like a wall of planes! Love it!

[@wrenflyer]

Wow another jet, look forward to seeing this build, really enjoy your eye for detail and little improvements and modifications.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you very much!😊

[@superskullmaster]

Super excited for this.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Awesome 😎

[@russellvoth5161]

Great job as usual even with the distraction during filming, yes you did put it into the video. Lol

[@thelightersideofrc]

Those punks!!!!😂😎

[@skyracer32738]

Yeah man. Twins are awesome

[@thelightersideofrc]

That sound!!!!!!😎

[@DadsRCHangar]

Brilliant tips all the way. I been waiting for this build. So huge, love it 👍🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Dad! Once the nose get bolted on it almost becomes un manageable with one person! Thanks for watching!

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

Lol, the vertical stab is the size of the wing on my 90mm Freewing F-18.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha! Yea she is a big bird!

[@pauldainton4907]

Wow, really cool. Can not wait for next video. Ps I wish my garage looked like yours. Cheers.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha! Thanks Paul. I’m looking forward to my bigger garage so it can look better and hold more cool stuff!

[@garyrussell7076]

My wlfe has this jet you did. You helped her at Tucson jet meet this year with her bd5 beckie Russell. If you will be at Tucson jet meet this year we'll bring the f18 and have you fly it if you would for us. Gary and beckie Russell

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hey Gary! Very Cool. For 2025 we may come to the Tucson one or the event just before in Phoenix.

[@TheDornado]

Really looking forward to this build! Need to see a little Arrows twin 64mm F-15 next to it for scale:)

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha! Yea no kidding! That would really make this one look giant!

[@fpvbuilds2023]

Your a machine keep the vids coming !!!!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊

[@ShadowOppsRC]

Going to be a fun and epic build!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊

[@wrstew1272]

You have not posted the next one yet? Back to work! Great stuff you are doing Jonathan.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha! Working on it!🥳

[@keithvilleneuve8362]

Hey Johnathan. Yes sir trust your eyes. You can measure all you want but if it looks right its right even with my old eyes. I just have to look mmmmaaaaanyy more times HAHA

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha. Exactly!

[@BAZYL482]

Hello does the engine rails need some heat protection? or they good without any.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Great Question! The engine rails don't need any protection. The engine mount itself stays quite cool.

[@BAZYL482]

@@thelightersideofrc thank you very much Im preparing myself my first turbine and your channel is very helpfull.

[@philippebaudon]

HI Jonathan, I guess your work shop ( or garage ) is almost too small ! after this F15, you must still work. have you forget the Pilatus ? it's a joke of course. awesome video as usual

[@thelightersideofrc]

Oh it is too small! I’m looking forward to the new garage in the new house! Much more room. Thanks for watching!😎

[@markpotter1230]

Wow. What a build! I’ve recently become a big fan of your channel. Very informative. I have just completed my first turbine build - I ran it up today and after some idle time I did some short half throttle tests. Full throttle was met with a big plume of white smoke and the turbine stopped. Any thoughts? Brand new KingTech G142. Diesel with KingTech oil. Thanks!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Awesome, thank you for watching the vids! Here are a few steps to do first. you may already know this stuff but. 1. re learn radio to ecu. 2. start turbine and let it settle to idle rpm. 3. slowly increase the throttle stick to max over about 20 seconds. 4. let it stay at full throttle till it settles at max rpm. 5. Take note of pump power at full throttle (PW) 6. go back to idle and turn off turbine. 7. go into settings to pump power and check number. often from factory this will come very high. 8. take your max pump power number you got and add 20%. So if you were at 400 PW you will want 480 as your pump pw. 9. so if your PW setting is at 900 drop it down to 480. 10. Restart turbine and slowly increase throttle to max over 20 seconds. let it stabilize at max rpm. 11. Enjoy.

[@TheThedeuce]

Where did the Porter go?

[@thelightersideofrc]

The owner didn’t want me to have all the fun so he is finishing it.

[@iranausley8150]

Hi Johnathan, the 3rd video on the F15 build is private. Is it only for Patreon subscribers or is it just a posting error.

[@thelightersideofrc]

It will be live at 4:30 mtn.

[@abosl6an556]

Hello Can you make a 70mm F-15 with just a body, I have engines and machines?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Probably best thing to do is find a premade fuse or get a foam fuse for that size fan/s

[@jdsstegman]

Have you ever used bluebird servos? I just installed a set in a 50cc 3d plane and so far they are great!

[@thelightersideofrc]

I have never used them in my planes. The owner of this F 15 installed them in one of his larger aerobatic planes last year and likes them.

[@jdsstegman]

@@thelightersideofrc Good to know...... I could not find alot of reviews on them online so I wasn't sure really. I know you get what you pay for but comparable servos from others are a bit to pricey for me. Lol.

[@Natesh-Shankaraanand]

Hi. Just wondering where I can buy some of those L-shaped black plastic servo mounts.. They're exactly what I need for my JTM Viperjet build but can't find them anywhere. TIA

[@Natesh-Shankaraanand]

..also are they available for mini as well as full-size servos? cheers

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Natesh. Best suggestion is get in touch with Mike at Global Jet club and see if he can get some for you. These come with the FB jet kits so should be a part that’s available to buy.

[@Natesh-Shankaraanand]

Thanks mate.. I'll look into it. I may go with some plywood to do the same job I guess too

[@papat7663]

Can you please tell me where to buy this jet I hope it's not too much money you never mentioned how much it cost can I buy this on a budget I only have $500? Oh one more question what size engines does this jet come with and is this a good jet for beginner

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Papa. Well if you add another zero to your budget you can probably buy the airframe! When it's all said and done this plane is probably in the range of about 15K - 18K USD to put together depending on equipment choice. Something like this is not a great beginner jet.

[@IansRCExploits]

That's another massive build Jonathon!! Will you be flying this one or are you just building it😄👍

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Ian. I’ll be doing the maiden on her!

[@IansRCExploits]

Now that sounds Good😄👍

[@corycanfield545]

are you gonna seal the edges of the engine rails with epoxy like the rest just wondering may be asking to soon an wanted to say I really enjoy your videos

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching Cory! The edges and exposed wood will get sealed. The pipes will be getting some wood mounting points so once that is done we will seal the remaining exposed wood.

[@MrFishface5]

I want to know about the tiger f18 in the background

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha. Coming soon! Just finishing that one up for a friend. Should make it to video.

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Have Bluebird servos gotten better in quality? Ive had a couple of Bluebird servos years ago and found them to be a bit.....'meh'. I especially found the plastic case Bluebird servos to be brittle.

[@thelightersideofrc]

On the L39 build from last year the owner got 3 plastic case ones for the gear doors. They were terrible and we changed them. These are some of their high end ones. They seem good. The owner likes them. Only JR in my jets!
