Real F-4 Phantoms vs NitroPlanes ProJet R/C Phantom. See both Fly with crashes!

[@briansmobile1]

What an amazing job you've done on that plane and furthermore what a great video you've made representing the wisdom and knowledge that went in to the changes you made there. Much gratitude and respect for your contributions to KZbin!

[@ramis182]

great job mr. h, that was really an amazing video, but i really hate to see an amazing plane like that not work 100%. in conclusion, it was still an amazing vid and one of your best works!

[@moolikeacow2]

Awesome vid Dave. Love that old carrier footage. Kudos for the efforts on the model.

[@earthling1984]

VERY cool videos from the past! I didn't see any chutes on landing, but they still landed nice! The NP RC models aren't anywhere near the real thing, but they do look nice...

[@dietcoke1996]

Thanks for the vid, Dave. Quite an introspection of the F4 Phantom in your older vids. Keep up the good work. I don't know if I'll ever be ready for NP's Phantom, lol.

[@Skydive4ever]

Awesome work Dave, sometimes they are just made to look good on a shelf ;-)

[@IRisingFuryI]

"What could go wrong?" I like the attitude! Thanks for this vid, really enjoyed it.

[@beverke7]

great to see her up in the air, very nice work repairing her Dave, you will sure enjoy this beauty in the garage now in 1 piece lol

[@SinnKanos]

This is absolutely one of the best vids I've seen on YT!

[@basicallytactical]

great video, love all the old footage in the beginning.

[@Allwaystaynfly]

Adding flaps and slats could be a futur mod video, if your up to it:) Oh and might I ask why you only have 2 1/2 pounds of thrust on a 7 pound jet?

[@snipingfox]

Awww you changed the LED on the DX6i from red to blue! Very cool!

[@WORRO]

The MOST beautiful jet EVER made!! Love the Phantom!

[@kevco8201]

Great Video like always, Your videos are some of my favorite rc videos.

[@sprintermattjack]

sounds like a real jet at 11:15, nice original videos too, love it!

[@armoredpig]

Wow tons of very interesting information in this video!! Thanks!

[@xXGliderXx]

Awesome Video! You have to love the F-4 pretty much, I guess.LOL. Greetings from Germany : )

[@rotorwash46]

Hey dave my brother was on the midway,he was on the midway during evac of veitnam at the end of the war,he lives in sandiego,and looks at the midway everytime he go,s down to seaport village.thanks dave the flying brick f4s are awsome.

[@bloodhound122]

awesome vid and if i know you Dave you enjoyed the challenge trying to make it rite great old vids too.

[@DLPlanes]

I like the background music when your are flying it.

[@metalinvalidmatt]

@Allwaystaynfly it could only have that amount of thrust for realism. however, he was doing a static thrust test, EDF fans will usualy put out more thrust when in the air (having fast moving air blowing thru the intakes.)

[@ivanv754]

You managed to fix it!!! Great

[@lookintothesky123]

Cool I never knew you used to fly the real planes lol

[@savageZA76]

With all your experience in the RC world, to see you spend so much time to perfect it, i am asking the question, maybe the designers had it wrong. Its a pretty jet though.

[@Cerberus256]

Great video, really liked all the explaination of the F-4 etc, really interesting footage etc.. However, you have to ask is this jet really worth it with all the stress, expense and time of repairs? It must be disheartening knowing that every time you flew a crash was almost inevitable due to the lack of high lift devices and design in the airframe... Maybe the thrill outweighs all of that, just a thought... Admirable effort though, and thanks for the vid :)

[@MrBnowak]

8:10 when you said: we have the Technology, I splited Coke through my nose holes on My keyboard Laughing, Great Video, Great story, Plenty of efforts, thanx for sharing :)

[@huntandfish11]

nice vid dave

[@StonyAWACS8492]

I Really Liked The Super 8 Videos, You Should Post Them Alone. WOW!!

[@BADMAMERJAMMA]

You might of thought of this already but what about trying spoilerons to help slow the plane down while landing.

[@polishedbrother]

Hey night flyer, got a question. Are flaperon a effective way of slowing my aircraft down when landing? I have a tag interceptor that I could cut flaps into the alierons, but it a bit of work. Just wondering if I can get away with flaperon. You being a pilot and all, just wanted your opinion.

[@TeenFlyer95]

the "flying elevator" also made the real F4 fly over the sound barrier.

[@iamtherealzim]

Great Vid!

[@SVenables97]

when did you retire and what wars did you fight in?

[@P0ttedMeat]

That thing moves!

[@acehighflyer123]

Needs at least 5lb of thrust dont you think? 90mm metal fan unit and 7s 65c pack..to bad you cant get a little less wieght and a little more thrust...like you said though stellar effort..thanks for the vid and the extra input for a Nitroplanes product..I have many of their models..you should try the new Dynam 3D line of planes. Sbach, Peaks and Devil all great planes for fly for foamy action...4s 2200 packs for all of them.

[@rchopp]

It sure looks like it's a handful to fly.

[@tdtom154]

what do you think about the f/a-18 super hornet

[@pieman12345678987654]

well while your taking flight requests, can I see your blade 400 fly? :D

[@TeenFlyer95]

@NightFlyyer thanks for the reply, very nice video (:

[@rockonmyfriend]

@NightFlyyer haha! my cheapo twin jpower 64mm fans with 3970kv motors have just under 8POUNDS together of thrust! that is just toooooooo crazy!

[@KiDFRANKKK]

whoaaa wobbly

[@spektrum33]

That was a lot of very usefull information but i think you have put me of the phantom as it sounds to much work to get it to fly and make it fun {"_*}

[@rockonmyfriend]

maybe try other fans besides nitroplanes? maybe gp hyperflow or e-flite delta-V 15e?

[@rockonmyfriend]

@NightFlyyer yeah that is pretty heavy! haha. i got the bigger a-10 from bananahobby that same with retracts. (the thing weighed 5 POUNDS) i thought, oh my god that would never get off the ground. i hacked off the crappy retracts and saved extra servos. got some esc that were shrinkwrapped instead of with a big metal heatsink and its like only 2.5 lbs with teo 3s 2200mahs and it has a 2 to 1 thrust ratio! im going to have to put some more carbon fiber in the wings! haha uits gunna fall apart

[@MotherPlaneRC]

Phantoms look like flying penguins and we all know penguins can't fly.

[@SVenables97]

E type Jaguar!!!!!! There amazing!!!!!!!! In england there so comfoey to sit in

[@chrispayne2269]

i ve yet to see any one land this f4 , i ve seen four people fly it and none landed in one piece

[@legoman05]

lol Major Spooner Very cool videos

[@da959]

Yep..it sure is a pretty one. But, if it's un-flyable then....well... I still can't get over how much the real ones smoked when flying. It's like putting a huge engine on a brick to make it stay in the air. It's still an awesome aircraft though..beautiful in it's own ugly way...lol

[@MrMrKingfisher]

I have the same RC Controller :) Spektrum DX 6i

[@cup_and_cone]

"Way more time than any other plane in 50 years." Never made one from scratch? LOL

[@DornAlien123]

hey yeah rebuild !

[@TeenFlyer95]

if dave herbert cant mod it to fly well, no one can. basically this is a other plane you dont buy from nitroplanes

[@BOBKB3NZX]

i think that one needs a viking burial...

[@engineerahmed7248]

better introduce cheater holes at top, since bottom holes increase suction at bottom consequently decreasing lift.

[@Killerplanes]

Hey- I've seen a lot of your great flying and I've got to say- that plane must be a PIG if you can't fly it! Disappointing design, huh?

[@rockonmyfriend]

such an expensive memory! haha

[@PPiTTislakatamia]

give dave a motor and a single wing..he will make it fly..no problem...

[@EnterpriseXI]

RC MiG with AIRBRAKES! (see side bar) take off landing crash by rc powers

[@polishedbrother]

Sorry, a TGA INTERCEPTOR.

[@rockonmyfriend]

@Allwaystaynfly because it sucks! shouldve gone with a higher kv motors! my foam twin 64mm jpower a-10 hahas the same thrust! and the whole thing weighs no more than 2.5 lbs.

[@PGHMEDIA]

I am glad your not a terrorist. We would be in trouble.

[@forteleaerieneromane]

flying coffin

[@TOMOFONO]

That is an awful to fly plane isn't it?
