Turbine RC Jets made EASY!! - FTL Innovation 1/7 Scale F-16 PNP

[@kwboost]

Thanks Jay! After seeing this video a couple weeks ago, I bit the bullet and ordered one. Went with a custom scheme. The viper demo team. I have a kingtech K142 g4 for it. I plan on flying it fpv with headtracker. I been converting all my 90mm edf's to fpv with great success, but this will be my first turbine. After flying the edf's fpv, it's the only way I wanna fly now lol. But I need more power and only a true turbine will do it.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Dude that’s amazing, did you go with thrust vector? Thats a big turbine!! It can deff handle it!

[@kwboost]

@@Jays_rcgarage I didnt go with thrust vectoring, only because I am not at a skill level to really handle it while flying FPV. lol. But it could be an addition in the future

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Unless you are running a bladder tank I would recommend leaving the UAT. don’t matter what the company says that the turbine will “eat air bubbles” not worth a flame out.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Yeah, im on the fence. I like the safety but I also like seeing progression in technology and if they believe its flawless I am happy to test it.

[@Barron5362]

Can't imagine ever running without a UAT. Maybe they have mini one in the turbine.. or the fuel pump has a double-pass feature to disperse an air bubble. I think Swiwin turbine fuel pumps have this.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@ if you run a bladder tank you don’t need a UAT as you fill like a Q40 and there airless. But I always run UAT with regular tanks. Not worth the flame out. Even my turbine heli I built I run a UAT.

[@xXRapToRiXxGamer]

Correct me if I'm wrong but normally the UAT is after the pump and before the turbine right? So if we now have a turbine that has the fuel pump built-in, logically a UAT would then be before the fuel pump. Would that be of any benefit? I am not a pump expert but I am guessing that bubbles originate in the pump. So a UAT before the pump would do nothing.

[@FarmerFpv]

Hook up with Martin Pickering for the maiden. That would be sick!

[@rolandpurro8416]

Hi, i think in the Video your front Wheel Gyro is correction in the wrong direction. Regards Roland

[@MPRasta104]

Cool fact-- red loctite is not necessary. If you apply blue correctly, it will be just as effective as red, only you dont have to heat it to take it off

[@AceFlights]

wow what an amazing jet! being able to send in your own livery is super neat. I've never been interested in turbines but this jet really makes me want to order one. I also saw that they offered a j-10 too which looks neat.

[@jacksampson7711]

This is truly next level. So this is definitely more than a hobby right?

[@Jays_rcgarage]

It's a hobby for sure, definitely more of a passion at this point.

[@Xplanker]

Dude, you're not ready for this jet. I can't wait for the maiden, lol

[@Jays_rcgarage]

✈️ 💥

[@Xplanker]

@Jays_rcgarage nah man, you'll be fine. Just watch the lag on the throttle for the landing. Have maybe triple rates set up on the throws just in case and keep the wing rails off the ground. F16s fly great. I love them. They surprisingly hold a glide a long time if balanced properly. Good luck

[@Jays_rcgarage]

@ thanks!! My buddy is a master builder and has the Xicoy CG scale. When the turbine comes he’s going to dial it in for me

[@Xplanker]

@@Jays_rcgarage perfect.

[@bilalemincoskunsoy9658]

That 192 Nato Tiger Meet livery hits dude nice plane

[@victorrcjets7660]

I'm surprised you got everything on the 10 channel radio, did you use a Y-harness on your Ailerons and Elevator? Typically We separate each channel plus if you want Flaperons you will use out. The steering gyro should turn or correct the opposite direction but that is just a reprogram. The UAT is good insurance. My buddy uses the NX radio with no issues but he is using the 20. He has the TV so you can turn it off/on. Good luck on the build but if you have questions ask the turbine community.

[@GraysonDiblasi]

Looks awesome

[@rodrilial]

Parabéns pelo video!! 👏👏👏

[@Rckid-8]

That awesome! I wouldn't fly that even if I had one cause I don't trust myself. I'm sure you kill it on the maiden!

Pretty nervous on this one

[@Rckid-8]

@@Jays_rcgarage im sure it will go well based off of you amazing skills. I would definitely crash it since I only fly 64s and 70s

Awsome, but a little over my budget. I haven't flown a new plane in years. Saving for something tho but no saying how long it would take...

[@reggielesisback]

I’ve just recently got into the rc hobby I got a rtf spitfire with servos for my birthday on the 20th love your videos Where do you get these planes and do they deliver to the uk?

[@sharky620ti]

Hi, I'm considering one for next year maybe. Am i right in saying there's no flaps on this? Can't see any. Much appreciated.

[@daniellott3724]

It's an f16 so it would be set up as flaperons

[@Jays_rcgarage]

The F-16 has leading edge flaps in full scale. Trailing edge flaperons. I will be programming flaperons to this model like the full scale.

[@sharky620ti]

@Jays_rcgarage Ah, nice. Thanks for the info man. There doesn't seem to be any videos of these flying at all so looking forward to seeing yours go! 👍🏻

How long did it take to get from time of ordering

[@3dTAKES]

Sick!

[@krxprt]

Double check your front wheel gyro. It looks like it might be backwards.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

I noticed that too while editing. I didn’t set up anything yet. Rates or expo. Flaperons. I think I’m pulling this out and adding synapse so I’ll fine tune it all when the new receiver is in

[@Physicsless8]

Yoo, they got these and i dont even have the money for a trainer, how much was this?

[@WrenchingAndRC]

It is $6,000 for the RTF (ready to fly) version.

Is there an afterburner LED like in the BananaHobby JetRuler F-16 composite turbine? It;s a tad smaller but with a larger (non-scale) wing.. which I dislike.

5000 pounds is not cheap on their website

[@WarheadIndustries]

Its a RTF composite jet. These are not cheap full stop. The servos alone for something like this probably costs 1k then you have the turbine which is 2k on its own as well. So for what you are getting it is a good price compared to other offerings. It is just at the top end of the RC market.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Well said 🤝

[@WarheadIndustries]

@@Lfs1891 this is a completely different product to what motion rc sells if i wanted a foam plane there are lots of options, but foam just doesnt cut it if you want something that is quality and will last.

@@Jays_rcgarage Too much for my flying skills. I will keep building from plans and using smaller 50-100cc gas engines.

[@davelangenfeld5062]

LOL "All you need to do is install your turbine "$4000.00+" and chuck your batteries and and rx in and bam you're good to go!!! LOL NOPE, You install that stuff "you'll be just north of $9-10k by now" and now the fun begins!! Hours of programing and thats if you know turbines. If I had to guess this appeals to 0% of the subs on this channel financially and experience wise lol. AGAIN there is NOTHING plug and play about this thing. When you put that in the air you have it insured, yes insured like a car. This all said and done I'm guessing will be roughly 10k and up. Youll have multiple redundancies/controllers etc......to the guy that said he's not ready for this was kind of a dxck. This dudes come a long ways but I hope you know some turbine guys brother, I cant stress it enough. That and jets are sooo different in the air, anyways this thing looks mean. Good luck, thats a bad B!!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

PNP+Turbine=$6k .. batteries and RX won’t cost $3-$4k. I’m running spektrum smart packs and will have synapse so all in maybe another $700. $6700 total… not sure of insurance?? Never heard of a company insuring a Jet unless you are referring to AMA. Programming was simple since everything was installed already. Plug in the wires to RX .. assign channels on remote. Set travel and expo.. maybe some flaperons and she’s ready. Programming took 7-10 minutes tops. I stand behind PNP. This went together easier than planes I’ve gotten from Freewing, FMS and Hobbyking.

[@davelangenfeld5062]

@@Jays_rcgarage MY BAD, this is way different than the banana hobbies one that was just released too. This is way cheaper/different. Still no jet is pnp with no experience.

[@MatthewMav]

[@MPRasta104]

If you "don't have the time to set it up" then you shouldn't be in the hobby. Thats what's wrong with the hobby today. No one wants to take time to actually learn and go thru their models. Then when something happens, you have no clue what's going on.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

What’s wrong with the Hobby is guys want to keep it in the past. Technology progresses and there isn’t anything wrong with getting with the times. I agree that “modeling” is an amazing craft and I enjoy seeing Airplanes that people took time to build or assemble.. but for most of us these days.. we love model aviation and want to spend our time flying new models. I fly with full scale career pilots, they want to spend their off days flying, not building.

[@MPRasta104]

@Jays_rcgarage building and actually knowing what's going on inside your aircraft is not keeping it in the past. In fact, it's quite the opposite because you're actually involved with the technology. Even full scale career pros like Rob Holland, Sean Tucker, Kirby Chambliss actually work on their planes themselves. PLUS, all this ready made stuff is driving the prices up and making it both harder for people to get into and stay in the hobby, AND making parts harder to get by putting LHSs out of business.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

LHS are going out of business because the internet has made it easy to purchase direct from the manufacturer. Has nothing to do with prices of the product. I almost backed a hobby shop about 8 years ago and decided against it because of this exact reason. You named famous Aerobatic pilots. I’m referring to Corporate Private Jet pilots and airline captains that I fly with. We all enjoy throwing a receiver in and going to the field. This is why Freewing, FMS, Avios and countless other companies are growing year by year. A proven business model. Again not everyone wants to build. Tyler Perry pays Ramy and a team to BUILD massive airplanes. He loves the hobby just as much as most of us. But lacks the time to build himself. Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be flying these Airplanes. Do what you love and stay within your budget. Happy flying ✈️

[@Captndarty]

Hard to take a company seriously when they offer a “navy“ paint scheme for an F-16…

[@WarheadIndustries]

F16N is a navy plane, the navy version of the F16 and is part of the Navy

[@troyprudhomme8222]

Dont use spektrum with such an expensive plane. Last thing you wqnt iw a brown out and a crash.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Ive heard it all. But after going to Joe Nall and hanging with Ali and some of the best flying $30K Jets on spektrum... I have faith it will be okay. If I was flying FPV passed a mile I would definitely switch.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

I totally agree, get yourself a Jeti. There the best for Turbine jets, Spekjunk is great for cheap foamies.

[@FlyShamu]

I like the Synapse too. Hundreds of flights on my turbine Raptor & 3D birds! Great choice. 👌 Nice jet & excellent video. Happy New Year! 🎆

[@Barron5362]

I don't use or like Spektrum due to the expense but have seen the brown outs. The thing to consider is that that they are 90% of what folks are flying, so you will see more issues. Still, the Spektrum products integrate nicely without the need of deciding if you need a radio/rx firmware update every few months. I fly tandem (FrSky), which has these headaches but I love the programming. I use in turbines, giant scale and everything smaller. I love the dual protocol that is similar to Jeti. IDK, but my gut tells me the brown outs are due to improper radio/power installations... too small batteries, no voltage regulation or improper range testing/antenna orientation. I've seen some of these outages on $11,000 aircraft. Plugging a capacitor of the right size in one of the spare channels (to help with sudden voltage drops) may help with brownouts. Some radios are simply more tolerant of low voltage drops than others. IDK, but maybe some of the Spektrum stuff is NOT. Besides the correct size batteries, you have to consider the strength/speed/number of servos, really long wire runs and how they are routed. PNP models like FTL, BVM have a some of these best practices already designed for you but you still need to check everything.
