Skymaster F4 maiden flight RC Jet

This was an amazing day at our RC club in Brooklyn NY. My friend Amir performed his maiden flight of his 1:6 scale F4 twin turbine as well as some of his other jets. Please enjoy as some of my other friends fly their jets on this very warm November day.

Beautiful, love the F4. especially in Yellow remind me my F4 was built from YellowAircraft kit back in1999.

LOVE the F4's. That was Fabulous!

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thanks for your comments😀

[@boss2234]

The F 4 bring back memories for me as a kid I was an air force brat with an uncle a full bird colonel and a father that was a major . I bounced from base to base with F 4s. I was 13 and didn’t have a clue.

[@flightsystemsrc]

I’m glad you enjoyed this video. The F-4 brings such excitement wether it’s a full scale or a model.😊

[@davidoickle1778]

The parachute was a nice touch.

[@asselinbernard5610]

What a Nice jet and perfect flight!! Bravo.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching

[@markferguson3365]

When ever I think Fighter jet, the first thing that comes to mind isn't the F-14, F-16, F-18, or the newest. It's the iconic F-4!!! I have always wanted an EDF F-4, only because this is way out of my class. Gorgeous plane and excellent piloting skills!

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching, the F4 is such an icon-To this day it is such a head turner.

[@mnikb4217]

Bravo , One of the best landing i have ever seen by a rc model, i am proud of you dear Amir. I have to say your control skills look like iranian fightr pilots of phantom , actually like an Ace!

[@chrisp3673]

amazing steep approach of this great F4!

[@jonkje]

That has got to be the smoothest "high" speed landing ever... Damn!

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching- it was a fantastic landing for the 1st flight. I’m glad you enjoyed it👍

[@jonkje]

@@flightsystemsrc Thank you for this fantastic video. Love the non standard livery as well, brilliant. Very imoressive acceleration during take off. Beaitiful flight. The drag chute... Icing on the cake. Hope to see more of this jet. Happy landings! 💪

I lived in Borough Park during med school, wish I knew about the airfield in Brooklyn. This is awesome!

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching. We are very lucky to have such a great place to fly.

Dose not matter what colour scheme the F4 has, just a great iconic shape. Flawless maiden 🫡

[@flightsystemsrc]

I agree - thank you for watching.

[@tonsjet09]

very good flight trials, my friend, I really like to see the flight f4 panthom

[@davidcugno5457]

Me and my brothers were members of the Richmond model flying club in Staten island in the early 1970's , whenever we went to Floyd bennet field in Brooklyn they never wanted us to jets , it's nice to see that they allow jets and other large scale models. Nice phantom beautiful flight , perfect landing

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching, the club still has strict rules , but it’s great that we can still fly large turbines.

[@birdk3421]

301SQ No.399 during the Nyutabaru base era I love this paint! The "Keroyon" mark of the 301SQ of Nyutabaru Air Base (5th Air Wing) is 5 stars. 7 stars ＝　Hyakuri Base (7th Air Wing) After that, No.399 was transferred to 302SQ "OZIROWASHI" and became the "Last Phantom" commemorative painting machine (Black Phantom) in 2019.

[@flightsystemsrc]

WOW! Great information 👍THANK YOU!

[@birdk3421]

@@flightsystemsrc The correct answer is 3 stars at the neck of the frog muffler and 2 stars at the tip. If you get tired of it, I would also like to see the 302SQ (Ojiro Washi)（White-tailed eagle） Last Phantom commemorative painted machine version.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Ill look into that scheme @@birdk3421

Oh man that F4 did a beautiful takeoff it got in the air so fast, reminds me of my days next door to McGuire AFB in Jersey.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Yes, it took off quickly- thank you for watching

Looks really great. Good to see an unusual painting. 👍😊

[@av8tore71]

Awesome build & flying! My dad flew the RF-4 in Vietnam so I am quite fond of the aircraft

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for your comment, That’s awesome that your father flew one of these. Back in the late 80’s I was lucky to see one fly in person at a Florida Airshow. It commands attention.

[@yossuy643]

F4すばらしい！

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

Congrats on the successful maiden flight! The model looks amazing and looks like it flies great as well. But having been a young F-4E crew chief during the late Vietnam War I have a small comment. Your Phantom is sitting nose high on the ground and shouldn't be if you're going for a correct scale look. The nose gear strut is the problem as it's nearly fully extended. I wouldn't mention it but your model is incredibly detailed and looks so realistic! BTW very nice touchdown and the drag chute really adds a lot! Regards from Thailand & Happy Holidays!

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching and your comments- I’ll pass them on to the owner. You must have great stories as a F4 crew chief - thank you for your service 👍

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

@@flightsystemsrc You're quite welcome. Yes, please pass on my comments to the owner. Actually I do have quite a few war stories as I spent 14 months TDY (Temporary Duty) at the famous 8th Tactical Fighter Wing at Ubon Royal Thai AFB during the height of the air war in 1972-73. Our Seymour Johnson AFB Phantoms and personnel were sent there under emergency war orders during President Nixon's Linebacker I & II aerial campaigns. At times Phantoms were lined up on the taxiway as far as the eye could see, loaded for bear, waiting to take off for MiG kills and/or bombing missions. It was a time I'll never forget.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for sharing that.@@Jimbo-in-Thailand

Did anyone else noticed the stuff leaking from the jet while taxying? what is it? beautiful jet !! and awesome maiden flight!!

[@flightsystemsrc]

That's just fuel from the vent line- Full tanks before departure. Thank you for watching.

[@Platinum_Productions]

@@flightsystemsrc oooh okay thanks for the info! and your welcome! what a beautiful machine!

[@benburden6633]

Great video! Are you using the factory gear? if so do you have any issues with them retracting on take off? Air pressure your running?. Thanks!

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

Hi. Its factory gear. No issues yet. About 105lbs of pressure... Thx

[@collinmcginnis5014]

Beautiful plane with a superb landing! BTW - the gear look like they lean in slightly - like they’re not vertical. Is that just an optical illusion?

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching- I’ll need to see that again on the video about the gear. I’ll check it out with the pilot as well. 😊👍

[@JDOzzy37]

Please excuse me if you've already answered this. After doing quite a few FOD walks in my day, are you not as concerned about that as full scale?

[@flightsystemsrc]

Sure , it’s a concern. We have a lot of seagulls that drop shells on the runway. I even had a sharp seashell end up sticking into a fuel tank like a dagger at one point. That particular day there were a lot of shells around. Thank you for watching 😊

[@davidoickle1778]

A buddy and I attended an R/C even in Orange Mass. a few years ago. A guy showed up with a beautiful prop model but because it was a "fan fly" they wouldn't let him fly it. I thought that was mean spirited. Jets are exciting but they get a little boring after 2 days. Let the prop bird fly for heaven's sake.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Oh WOW! I’m a fan of both props and jets. Thank you for watching.

[@signrossi1]

Very nice Phantom!!! What I am wondering about are the Airlines flying directly over you airfielc in final approach. What ist Max heiight you are allowed to fly?

[@flightsystemsrc]

We follow all AMA guidelines and we are in communication with ATC . Our club can’t open unless JFK tower is called and is aware that we are flying for the day. Also the video promotes an illusion of the full scale aircraft looking closer then it really appears.

[@signrossi1]

@@flightsystemsrc ok, we have exact the same procedure here in Cologne, Germany. Have fun!

[@michelemara7533]

Beatiful ! How much does the kit cost ?

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for watching, I think on the Skymaster website they have for about $5K - worth every penny 😊👍

[@michelemara7533]

@@flightsystemsrc Thank You

[@bacolas]

Nice video, weight of the aircraft?

[@TomFly]

Hey guys, which version of the F4 is this? Was the jet pre painted when it was delivered? The yellow livery is really exceptional. Which turbines do you have in and what is the total weight??? 😇👍

[@flightsystemsrc]

What I know from the owner , the F4 was painted by Skymaster at the factory- as far as the turbines it’s a pair of Kingtech 210’s - I’m not exactly sure what model of the F4 it is but it’s the longer nose. Thank you for watching 😊

[@TomFly]

Any idea what the weight is??

[@flightsystemsrc]

@@TomFly I think about 90 pounds

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

This was a custom paint and hope SM does not duplicate this scheme as I paid extra to keep it unique!

[@chewy7192]

Would a 1:1 rc still fly?

[@flightsystemsrc]

I believe in Japan they still fly the full scale.

[@jogeri2518]

Hello, can you give me the plan and construction method and materials of this plane؟

[@flightsystemsrc]

Hi Jo, it’s primarily fiberglass (airex) hardwood - some carbon fiber. The company that produces it is called Skymaster and they are out of China. Perhaps if you email them for more information. Thank you for watching😊

[@jogeri2518]

Thank you, does this company have to make a custom order or do they already have it? How much will it cost?

[@flightsystemsrc]

@@jogeri2518 if you go on there website Skymaster rc jets.com they will have prices- 3-8 months for a build

I’m not exactly sure of the price but Skymaster RC Jets has that kit with pricing on their website- As we’ll as Kingtech Turbines has pricing for K210 turbines. Thank you for watching.
