Absolutely Incredible, Thank you very much Magic!!🙏🏻🚀🚀

My pleasure!

I put together a little nitro powered plane back in 1985. There has been a quantum leap in technology and complexity since then. Way above my skill level now. Very impressed with your work!

[@Krash_fpv]

Basically anything is a quantum leap from what was avail in 1985

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Noel!

[@anupamdasrc6970]

definitely not a plane for the novice builder but the quality is great for what you pay . You did a great job and worked through a lot of challenges on this build. You dont give up easily lol.

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thank you! Yes not a newbie plane for sure!

[@jrmotorsports5532]

Wow! What a beast. Gonna miss this one. Hope we get to see it in the air.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Maiden coming in Mid June.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Can't wait to record a flight on it😊

[@thelightersideofrc]

Going to be mental! I think it's also coming out 5ish lbs lighter than his current one.

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Can't wait to see this in the sky !! Awesome work !!

[@thelightersideofrc]

You and me both! Thanks for watching!

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Holy crap that's got some thrust!!!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA! Yea it's a very shocking amount!

[@blankblank9117]

What an epic build!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you!

[@senjalars]

On startup that turbine sounds exactly like the real thing. :-D

[@thelightersideofrc]

Helps that it’s a UAS/drone turbine!😎

That's explaining the power!! ;-) @@thelightersideofrc

Another great video…. I think the shop floors are a bit slippery 😂…. Koko will love this F16…. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thanks! I think he is going to have fun!

[@Axr24have]

Man! Maybe see if the owner will film it in its maiden. 😊

[@thelightersideofrc]

I will be there for the maiden to film.

Nice and thorough job as usual!

Thanks 🤗

[@RockbeThyName]

Wow I didn't know that these size R/C jets are that strong to push you!! And not even at full throttle and no afterburner!! LOL

[@thelightersideofrc]

LOTS of push!

[@michaelkelly8955]

I noticed you have note books, do you keep them as an archival library for noting tricky bits in the building process, like CG, layout etc for when you get to build another one of these beauty’s.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Exactly! It's my "black book". Lots of notes etc on various things.

[@fcolon1976]

Could you do a video tutorial on how to start a turbine jet and go through all the steps you take for safe operation?? Please

[@thelightersideofrc]

Specifically engine start process?

[@fcolon1976]

@thelightersideofrc yes please 🙂

[@Sluf7]

Nice work Jonathan. not suprised having to add weight as she,s a tight fit and 2 1/2 pounds odd ain,t gonna worry that puppy even carrying stores it won,t care. The Monster certainly lived up to it,s name gave ya a good shunt. Keep at it now.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Nick! Bonkers Power!!!!

If the owner is married, I would LOVE to know his secret to get this wife budget approved.

just curious what is total cost of this AWESOME plane another paint scheme would be AMAZING is the NAVY BLUE ANGELS

Not sure but just a guess probably 25-30k

Hi Guys…quick update from the future I can confirm that this is absolutely an insane Magical Monster 👹 setup 27:53 Also FYI an asphalt surface still doesn’t prevent you from being pushed back from the Monster👹…from experience 😅 🚀🚀🚀🙏🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thank you for the update traveler from the future! Can't wait to see some follow up flights!

[@davidleleux4948]

Hi Jon, absolutly beautifull aw always. But, why don't you put more airflow restrictors for opening and close landing gear it self, landing geat doors and canopy ? It should be more realistic isn't it ? David from Belgium.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Reliability over scale. Everything changes in flight when there is wind passing over things.

[@davidleleux4948]

@@thelightersideofrc Ok i understand, thanks for answer 👍

[@motorcyclenut1]

Do you know how much that thing is going to weigh with fuel?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Should be 58 lbs with no fuel.

[@michaelkelly8955]

Wow is not the word, what a powerful little beastie. It’s strong enough to push your chunky 250lb arse across the floor.

[@jan-lucan7403]

Please tell me what sticks you are using on your transmitter?

[@thelightersideofrc]

They are the Radio Master sticks! very nice and grippy!

[@blasiusflasser4606]

Hey, What's this clone setup on Jeti and Cortex??????? Are you running dual path and EXbus?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Most of our setups do not use dual path. Defult setting. Primary receiver Rex 7. Second receiver, Rex 7, as a clone. On this plane we also added a 900 as well. The wiring path is laid out so if the primary receiver fails or cortex fails you still have control of the aircraft.

[@blasiusflasser4606]

@@thelightersideofrc@thelightersideofrc It is hard to understand why you are not using the dual path. This is against the system's logic. Cortex, even if it fails, has a slave function, and the receivers will always work. Also, the 900 is still as a backup. Try to disable 2.4ghz and verify the 900 id it works.

[@thelightersideofrc]

@blasiusflasser4606 big drawn out discussion on it on FB in the Jeti group. At the end of the day, both options work great! We just don’t go that route.

[@blasiusflasser4606]

Use Dual Path; that's what it is designed for! With Cortex and Central Box, everything will be on the device explorer. 900 is independent into the CB as a completed independent backup. there is no need for any clone receivers, etc...

Hope will not hapend like in my f16 with swiwin 220 exploude before takeoff🙈🙈🙈
