I have been very impressed by your modeling skills, and even more impressed by your ability to build these models when most of the fingers on your left hand are missing. I even went back to your old videos on food delivery to see how you lost those fingers or whether you ever mentioned the incident or history behind losing those fingers. Is it something you ever discussed in any of your videos? Because if not, it would be a very interesting story to hear how you managed to overcome that considerable handicap and learned to function at such a high level in such a demanding and challenging hobby despite it. That's a real achievement. I wouldn't have even tried or dared to think that I could handle the hobby if I had that type of physical limitation.

Thank you very much! I have talked about it a bit here and there. No exciting accident's or any fun stories! Just the way I was born! 😎

HAHA. Going to be a fun one!

@akenedy 5 ай бұрын

Question: How long do you typically 'break-in' each new servo on the servo tester ?

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

990 cycles.

@davidsnyder238 5 ай бұрын

Always great stuff and very informative. I'll be curious how the carf compares to the Skymaster when the time comes.

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

Thanks David! The CARF will be bigger but great timing for a comparison!

@corbystarlet 5 ай бұрын

Wouldn’t it be easier if you disconnected the control arms then burn the servos while still in the plane?

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

Sure. BUT. Each servo needs to come out to confirm that loctite has been used on the mount and servo arm. So each one needs to come out anyway

@rohitsartanpara1 5 ай бұрын

in your opinion which jet engine is best ??? Swiwin or kingtech ??? Or any other ???

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

I only use Swiwin or XICOY in my aircraft.

@schumy1975 5 ай бұрын

is this F4 bigger or same scale as the F14 you recently built?

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

This one is 1/6th scale. The XXL F14 is 1/5.5 scale. So, Close. Both aircraft are very large on the full scale models.

@gregoryh4601 5 ай бұрын

Very Nice Video Jonathan what Is the Max engine size can you go?

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

Has room for bigger engines but the 195 size will be way more than enough already

Your channel and video content are so interesting. Thanks for sharing. It is a dream earning you have managed to achieve. Getting planes to build from all over the world. How will you ship back this plane to owner? Such a huge plane.

@thelightersideofrc 5 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! That will be a challenge for sure. We will split the aircraft into hopefully 2 containers and ship that way. Will be air shipped.

@thelightersideofrc your videos are very inspiring. Until now, I flown only fixed wing planes and quads. Just started to warm my feat in gas and nitro planes. You inspired me to save up some money, and for next season, start my first turbine jet build.
