[@thomasusowski2155]

I love the chute parachute idea!! I might try to add that to my 90mm F-16 😉

[@johna.s.3847]

Excellent job, very realistic to full scale. Love the chute. I like your style of flying.

[@matthewbrothers2823]

[@jetcrasher1]

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING ! Steve, Have I told you lately "You're My Hero !" LOL! Great camera work Capt. Mike. That looked so good, I might have to build one myself.....Oh Right, ALREADY DID.....!

[@rcjetdude1487]

jetcrasher1 Jim, Lol, I want to see more of your Black Bunny!

[@highflying82]

Well done it looks awesome ! Love the weathering . That final landing was really nice with the landing lights looked 1/1 on approach

[@AndrewFlyGuy]

CENTERBURNERS!! :D and that chute is too cool! Well done, Mike!

[@bayarea5168]

Thanks for sharing! Fly Navy!

[@stevecoggins2591]

Grat video and flying by steve.

[@rcjetdude1487]

Awesome video guys! That turned out sooo good. I love this plane and that footage against the cloudy Indiana sky just looks sweet! I just realized I forgot to mention it also has 3D printed whistles from rcfiddy1 off of Thingiverse.

[@Stevonoles1]

Beautiful plane! Nothing better than Jolly Rogers VF-84!

[@Gatorboydc007]

Inspiring ! Way to go Steve !

[@georgehawk7135]

Well done Steve you have done it again Beautiful F4 love the mods

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Outstanding!

[@4funrc11]

Hey! That's seriously good. Really. Thx.

[@youronlycow]

extremely well done :)

[@pdr6900]

Looks great! This model should be offered in a Navy scheme, preferably grey over white with no markings so the end user can put on their own preferred squadron decals.

[@Lozzie74]

pdr6900 it IS offered that way. I had to fit all the markings to mine

[@edwincordero8]

Great job

[@stevejohnson6111]

That's awesome Steve. Looks like you've taken a lot of time and effort into it and it's a stunning replica. The 1 and only thing I would find a little tedious is the drag chute, and me personally I wouldn't deploy it on every landing.

[@rcjetdude1487]

Steve Johnson thanks, it's not for everyone but I don't find it to be tedious at all and no I don't have to deploy it every time but I really like the effect.

[@stevejohnson6111]

Me too Steve. And please don't take my comment as a criticism, the chute is great. Take care, best wishes

[@rcjetdude1487]

Steve Johnson not at all sir.

[@mdoering]

Absolutely gorgeous bird. I would love more details on the chute modification, do you have a build log anywhere?

[@DivisionRc]

Amazing guys!!

[@MotionRC]

You watched it fast!

[@DivisionRc]

Motion RC was on youtube and came over asap as i got the notification!!

[@iriquiosgunship]

Beautiful aircraft, I like the way you fly, cool and calm, scale like with a smooth landing. Thank you for sharing, will you produce those 3d parts for sale (tank, missiles, cockpit detail and rear chute). That would be awesome.

[@FlyingBuzzard]

That is AWESOME.....

[@iiredpumpkin9506]

着陸が素晴らしい👍 神業ですね👍👍👍

[@acehelms]

Beautiful!!! Go Navy!!

[@KillerKev1961]

I swear I heard the J-79 howl on the approach. Scale landing. I served with MAG-11 at MCAS El Toro, VMFA-531 and VMFA 323 in the early 80s. Grey Ghosts and Death Rattlers. \m/. Do you have a link for the chute?? I gotta get me one for mine!

[@dradden1556]

Very cool

[@paulsnapp8674]

Steve - do you fly at the book 190mm CG or do you use something different?

[@malcolmeccles3783]

Nice model Is this the 8s version

[@faithfulpatriot4008]

Steve, you ROCK!!!!! dude! Would you be interested in helping me set up my 1st F4 Phantom 90mm jet I just purchased ? Your tutorial would be a great wealth of knowledge because I think you really appreciate the joy of flying perfection. Well hope you say yes!

[@MotionRC]

HEad over to HobbySquawk.com, Steve is RCJetDude on the forums, best way to reach him.

[@Damlongsouk]

what kind of reciever are you using ?

[@rcjetdude1487]

Damlongsouk, Jim I am using an Admiral 10 channel with satellite. Also have a Hobby Eagle A3-L gyro.

[@dudeinthejet5183]

@@rcjetdude1487 What type of paint of grey do use for the fuselage? do you use gloss, semi gloss or flat? even with black?

[@justinmills4566]

Navy jet with a drag chute how gay.

[@acehelms]

Every F-4 has a brake chute.
