NEARLY CRASHED My Eagle (Freewing F-15 90mm RC Plane)

I take donations if you'd like to help contribute to the channel, or if you really have a model in mind that you'd like to see me fly, set up, and put through its paces: www.paypal.com/paypalme/JonSynRC
Definitely learn from my mistakes here. I'll be sure to avoid performing flat spins near the hangars again. It's just not worth the risk to property - either the hangars or my jets.

Be sure to pick up a BlueFire or TrueFire 🔥 afterburner for this jet. Larry's afterburners look amazing - brighter than what you can get elsewhere, and cheaper too:

Love that vertical to inverted split S , dump the flaps and nail that landing. I practice that maneuver with my T28 every time i fly it. Looks so much better with a jet!

[@jeffsuriano629]

My only criticism would be of your objection to the Rooster- he sounds great and you should not speak ill of him 😂 Great flying - I call those conditions high wind - very nice

[@herkloader34]

I was an F-15 crew chief with the 33rd FW for seven years and worked on 85-102 many times. Both peacetime and in Desert Storm. So naturally, I had to have this model as well. I added the Dreamworks modulating electric brakes to it for incredible stopping power on the ground, but they do add considerable weight to it. It still flies scale fast so it’s good enough for me. To answer your question about the stabs. Yes, the real Eagle has differential stabs that work very similar to the model, but not as drastic on throws you’ve got set on yours. Also, the flaps are either up or down. There’s no other settings in between. I think down is around 35 degrees and is used on takeoff. I think the speed brake feature on the model is pretty close to the real one too, but a little slow. Still neat though. It’s a pretty impressive jet considering it’s made of foam. Details are pretty close.

[@TwoBrosRC]

I figured it did. I can't imagine the full scale acting as a dogfighter without differential stabs. It would get out-turned easily by other fighters from its era. I know my throws are crazy, though - but that's why I have them! I get way more performance out of the model this way. Thanks for the info!

[@BashTillBroken]

Watching this jet drop so fast makes me nervous to land my jets even though I can land them just fine Your an artist on this sticks

Fabulous Jet Features and Flying

[@reckemroysrc3764]

You definitely got lucky and had a great save. But I'll say 💯 percent pilot error. On the other hand you really fly these foamies to their extreme limits and I like it awesome flying bro 😎

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks man! It's definitely pilot error. I called off a flat spin earlier in the vid because I wasn't feeling it. Shouldn't have performed it where I did.

[@arnoldgines3381]

Beautiful jet.. happy flying

[@jlester42]

Wow that almost ended badly. Glad it didn't. Just watching, I tensed up and got the shakes after you pulled that out. Good job. great videos as always.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Jim! I'll be sure not to perform a flat spin like that again.

Great vid again, Jon! By the way, the rooster adds entertainment. Doesn’t bother me at all but I’m not the one flying. LOL.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Haha, glad you enjoyed the rooster. I'm sure you'll hear him again very soon.

[@cmayrc]

Yeah that rooster is awesome

[@iangilmore3671]

Wow, Love it!!

[@lucaspoole8866]

Really cool jet 1 I will get eventually but super slow and super underpowered I will most definitely make mine 8s. Great flying btw

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Lucas! It's definitely not underpowered. It's just not overpowered. 8s isn't going to help much. A better solution is fitting the FMS 1950kv motor for lighter weight and more thrust.

[@crazyaces9586]

Nice flying you need to get a Su Flanker with vectoring.... that's up your alley . Very informative 👏

[@cmayrc]

Great flying man, those two touch and goes were smooth too! It seemed to come out of the spin good, but then a wingtip stall happened over the hangar… maybe a swift gust of came over the roof?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Definitely stalled coming out of the spin. I just misjudged the altitude I'd be coming out at. We'll avoid that going forward lol

[@thestooks452]

ooff dang bro I wasn't expecting that haha. Little update btw, my F-16 has arrived and I have purchased the servos you recommended for it. I got the afterburner as well. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@deandagner]

Man I'm from Ft. Walton. My dad would take me to that museum when I was little. That's awesome!

That's awesome man, glad to hear! I miss being in the panhandle. Raleigh doesn't have enough beaches for my tastes, but it's nice up here.

[@deandagner]

I miss it too! Been back in NW Louisiana for almost 9 years now.. I think that's all that needs to be said haha great flying man!

[@sendit_rc]

Maybe they wanted to add a skylight to the hanger😊 glad you pulled out of it man!

I Love This Hobby

I'm soon to be 78 years old... For us older guys mistakes like that are caused by having a brain fart not by being dumb. 😊 Ps. I have more brain farts in this hobby than in all my other hobbies combined. 😊

Everyone makes mistakes. Doing dumb stuff is sort of a hallmark of this channel though, but this is one dumb mistake I'll be sure never to repeat.

[@dalekelley3003]

Yeah, you had to go home to clean your shorts😂😂😂😂, glad you saved her!!

[@TwoBrosRC]

[@KilchevSky]

Awesome model, it flies, not like a hammer with EDF, but it namely flies, floats beautifully! I didn't expect. Just an eye-opener. I look in the first place atthe landing process. Did you consider to add a full-function autopilot with GPS, to bring it back in a case of visual loss, or radio issue, or just to relax a bit during the flight? It was a brilliant recover to remember...

[@TwoBrosRC]

Nah, no autopilot - just adds more weight to the model.

[@acm1pt374]

Bought this after mastering the Carbon Cub, just to realize I'm not ready for her yet lol. Then I got the 80mm F16 and lamdings aren't perfect but she has survived 5 flights so far. I'm scared of my setups because I got a 64mm F18 and that thing won't fly straight for crap, it has crashed every time, SAFE and AS3X seemed to work fine on the ground but as soon as it took off it would go sideways and into the ground 😖

[@Flight6677]

Another great video and commentary on the FW F15. What camera do you use to video your flights?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks man! Tony is filming with an iPhone 13 Pro.

[@Flight6677]

@@TwoBrosRC That's great footage with a hand held iPhone 13!!

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's natively stabilized and he uses a handheld mount that also helps reduce camera shake. It's a really nice setup for now. We'll be moving up to a more professional camera system soonish.

[@calaiscruiser]

first thing I'm doing with mine when it arrives is blacken the inner parts of the exhausts nozzles

[@TwoBrosRC]

I just painted mine with aluminum, no more white!

[@richard4559]

I converted mine to 8s. Using the 4075 1390kv motor from motion RC. Even at that power system, she feels a bit underpowered in my opinion. Flies good though. But comparing it to my F22 and F4 (8s both) from motion RC, for some reason the F15 feels a little sluggish specially on climbout and loops.

[@TwoBrosRC]

I've never personally seen the appeal of adding more weight to the wings in the form of a heavier motor, heavier ESC, and extra batteries. The amount of additional wing loading you're creating will add more thrust, theoretically, but at the cost of a model that stalls easier at any airspeed and isn't as agile. With regard to sluggishness, could it be a throw mismatch between the jets? My F-15 has no problems with thrust or climbout on 6s - just a little slower than I'd prefer - and I can whip it around easily with max throws.

[@richard4559]

@@TwoBrosRC Thanks for all the Info. Yeah I did work on calibrating the ESC as best to my knowledge and made sure the throttle throw on my Radio was correctly set up. I flew it yesterday and I think is getting better and better every time. I'm still working on adjusting the gains for Landing and Cruise. I'm using damping mode 100% gain for landing and heading hold (Lower Gain) for fast flying and maneuvers. The Jeti Assist receiver/gyro is amazing. I'm using that gyro on the F22 and the thing almost hovers in upwind.

[@dbirds21]

@@TwoBrosRC I agree. I just made my 90mm f22 from 6s to a 8s 1500kv fms fan. I will be switching back to 6s. The gains are not worth the added weight. Your much better upgrading to a more effecient lighter fan unit and motor than adding more weight with batteries.

[@kballard72]

my arrows f15 dumped the other day, (esc overheated) thinking about this one. did you Fms overhaul it too, or still freewing motor

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's still stock on the motor and ESC.

SO YOU like the f15. Whats your take between the 90mm f18 and the 90mm f15. From your comments it appears like you really like thge performance of the f15 more.

[@TwoBrosRC]

The F-15 is more stable. Significantly so. It's also very aerobatic. The F/A-18 is much harder to fly in comparison. It's easily the hardest jet to fly in general IMO.

Hola, escribo desde Argentina, acá está muy difícil comprar esos juguetes, me dan ganas de llorar, estoy volando lo que me está quedando( sbach 2.80m de Pilot 111cc. y Spirit of pitts escalado y construido de un plano de Rc Groups 30cc.), y reconstruyendo lo que se puede rescatar de los crashes de otros. Hace como diez años construí varios parkjets de los de Steve Shumate, aunque cambia do las alas planas por alas con costillas y noté particularmente en el f15 que tenia balanceo holandés, algo que veo en el modelo de este video, será una particularidad del formato y aerodinámica propia del modelo ? Ahora estoy viendo si me queda algo de electrónica aropiada para construir el F14 que me ha ia quedado pendiente, y luego hacer uno más grande para cuando nuestra economia reflote y pueda adquirir baterías más grandes, edf, y trenes de aterrizaje retráctiles, ya vendrán tiempos mejores Saludos y espero tu opinión sobre el balanceo holandés del f15

[@jasontidwell1206]

Do you ever have problems losing signal or having planes do weird things over too the metal roofs?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Nope, not a problem at all here. I usually don't fly over the hangars. I use a remote receiver behind the motor to minimize signal loss in most of my jets.

[@jasontidwell1206]

@@TwoBrosRC we are having some trouble with what we think is the signal reflecting off metal hangars. It’s happening to various people and planes. Only common among everyone is the areas that things are happening in.

[@TwoBrosRC]

That shouldn't be a problem. I'd check your antenna placement. 9/10 times it's not optimized for quality reception. Wiring is in the way, antennas aren't secured, antennas aren't cross-polarized, etc. Adding a remote receiver is a cheap way to provide insurance though.
