For those that are going to ask. Airframe $6895.00, special paint $600.00. Retracts: $3895.00. Gear door set: $195.00. Cockpit $895.00. Light Set: $295.00. Working canopy: $165.00. Speed brake: $165.00. Weathering: $595.00. Total cost for JUST the airframe/gear etc as seen: $13700. Recommended minimum of 2x 40lb turbines, so let's stay safe and go with 2x 48.5lb thrust. So 2x 4299.00: $8598.00 Servos (2x $179 for elevators), and 7x 129.00 for the rest.: $1261.00 I won't go into the crazy amount of gear needed for the radio and turbines but let's stay safe and say $3000 Subtotal is going to run you AROUND $27 THOUSAND dollars.

That's without the labour build cost !

[@randall39]

@@Marti-dw9xtlittle over my rc budget😂😂

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

The landing gear is very well done. Sure, almost 4K is a lot, but they are very scale. It looks like they took a shrink-ray to the real struts.

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

@08:09 I don't fly R/C models but this video popped up on my feed. I can help with the F-15 specific details. 87-189 is from the 334th based at Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina. SJ is an F-15E B course base for pilots new to the F-15E. I've never been stationed at SJ, F-15C guys went to Tyndall AFB for our B course. The F-15C and F-15E are very different and have very little mission commonality, so different B schools. Anyway the livery or paintjob you have is from the late 20-teens, 2017 or 2018, it's a WWII heritage scheme, and it looks pretty spot on. The tail-number font is wrong and the 'mudhen' grey isn't quite dark enough for an E-model, but that is all that jumped out to me detail wise so far.

[@RTD1947]

OMG….the hobby is just getting more incredible every year! Congratulations to the Owner….looking forward to an incredible build!

[@IsabelMiller-c8k]

I agree

[@AreSeeModdler]

That's one sweet jet. Love the size. I know you're going to enjoy this build. Have fun and Thanks

[@RCCopterLove]

These parts are looking so great! The paintjob, the weathering, every little detail of this fuselage! I really never have seen such a huge jet! This is definitely NO clickbait tiltle. PS. The box can be reused! 😀 You can build yourself a nice little mobile home from it! 😀

[@fussa6013]

I love this channel. I get to see rich people pay obscene amounts of money for an RC jet, then pay another big bill for someone else to put the plane together for them. Got to love it.

[@xbpbat21x]

Then they find the roughest grass strip and the windiest day to fly it as their first plane they have ever flown.

[@Marti-dw9xt]

Another Bottomless Budget build

[@davidsnyder238]

Everyone has to have a hobby and it's his money to spend. Beautiful jet regardless of the cost and the purchaser can certainly fly this.

[@skytyme7721]

Check out Tyler Perry RC collection

[@superskullmaster]

Really looking forward to this build.

[@randall39]

I want to see an F35 build in that scale. My son is a Tech Sargent in the Air Force, stationed at Luke AFB, and a senior crew chief for their new F35 squadron replacing their F16’s. Incredible looking F15, and can’t wait to see it in the air 😊😊🛫

[@davidsoufer116]

Excellent unboxing video.. looking forward to the build videos.. Thanks a lot Jonathan🙏🏻

[@AdamArndt]

I love the F-15! Its my favorite!!

[@derekkilbride9510]

You’re going to need a bigger shop! What a beast.

[@wayneschenk5512]

WOW as you said it’s great to see the advancements.

[@lextek595]

Mind blowing!

[@newt2010]

That thing is pretty awesome. Can’t wait to see a fly.

[@sandymacdonald2838]

God that's awesome,excellent video,keep up the excellent work.big fan of yours from nova scotia.😊

[@nijhofrichard]

Holy🙈🙈🙈very Nice

[@IsabelMiller-c8k]

this thing is huge

[@ScottGunMag69]

Kitty wants a ride!

[@FlyShamu]

Yes!!! 🇺🇸 Gonna be amazing.

[@hankdurrer5650]

Wow Jonathan, when are you going to do a big model, enough of these small planes. LOL Wow, wow, can't wait to see the build and maiden on this one.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Hard to beat a little unboxing like this one😊 taking the little F16 out for ground testing if it doesn’t rain early 😊

[@TomFly]

Hey Jonathan, the emblem is of the „RAF Lost Eagle Squadron“. There is some information to be found online.😊

[@klausschlobluvsmesometwood4679]

beautiful F-15, going to be awesome to follow along with this build

[@martycat7233]

If you scale up the model to full-scale, and scale up Nuzzy by the same scale, that's one big cat!!😅❤😅❤

[@remicallant8756]

It looks very nice and I think you don't need servos but a real pilot inside, greetings from Remi, Belgium

[@YupOutside]

Just the cat inspector- occupation is a huge selling point for me.

[@JosephStanley-w5t]

The 4th Fighter Wing is based out of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina

[@AndreBEvansSr]

Thanks!

[@MarkRenn]

I HATE seeing servos sticking of the side of surfaces. I am really digging that this one puts servos in the body. That will make it really clean.

[@schumy1975]

what scale is that? 1/6? wow amazing, awesome!!!

[@Sluf7]

Very, Very nice. Looking forward to this build.😅😮😢🎉😂❤ Carry on.😅

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! It's a beauty! Very excited!

[@retopugel3125]

Best Jet ever!

[@michaelazegilla1780]

My favorite channel , big fan for sure

[@michiganengineer8621]

Every time you get one of those Skymaster1:5 scale jets in to build I can't help but daydream a bit about other monster scale aircraft.

[@matthewmarchant5933]

How long was the dog sliding into the video before i noticed!

[@klausrohrbach6041]

This one is just a little bit bigger than mine 😂 gonna need a bigger trailer for this one.

[@brianb6969]

My guess is $26,499 was I even close??

[@stevestonrcguy5393]

That’s a monster

[@thetruthbehindplanes]

SOOO BIG!!!

[@minicoopertn]

Let’s ask the question everyone wants to know. Does the cat have a flight suit and will it be flying in the jet?

[@afrog2666]

This is good ASMR

[@h0h0h0]

嘩！！期待！！

[@DerRacon]

What kind of Spitfire is it on 21:04 ? Thank you and nice Plane =)

[@JAAUG]

So where are you going to fly this beast this summer so I can come and watch!!

[@Lfs1891]

12' x 8', 154"x102.7"

[@MrFishface5]

can you imagine what shipping cost was

[@geoffreyvanvugt8179]

What Engines will be in this little beast?

[@MsPokey1234]

..just needs a JM Fuel Can..LOL!

[@DanielStejskal-j3b]

It's like a nezzy size F15

[@RockbeThyName]

When are you going to build the Apache Heli? You started on it then nothing else said about it.. LOL Did you lose interest in the project?

[@Lfs1891]

I want one. But I'd still like the one u have for sale.

[@GearboxEnt]

These are not "tail cones", they are the engine exhaust nozzles. A tail cone is something else entirely (and the Eagle doesn't have one)...

[@theloneranger2101]

Let just see it flying, before you expect a review. I won't hold my breath.

[@losien1]

Well I wouldn’t say this is the “LIGHTER” side of RC - it’s definitely a HEAVIER one… As a side note: if you need 27k usd to build it imagine how much money you have to have spare to afford to crash it because anyone how flies anything must consider such eventuality. As the saying goes: “You can only fly the things you can afford to crash…”

[@Beyond_Films]

Already with all its accessories the investment of this plane will be approximately $20,000.00 dollars?

[@eliasbinde2629]

Sooo, at what point do we go full circle and put a real pilot in something like that?

[@larrynitso3597]

But I guess that takes any blame off of yourself for anything that might go wrong

[@doggies.will.be.doggies]

21:05 that emblem refers to the "334th Fighter Squadron". The 334th was constituted on 22 August 1942 as an incorporation of the No. 71 Squadron RAF, an Eagle Squadron of American volunteers in Great Britain's Royal Air Force. After the United States entered the war, the squadron was transferred to the U.S. Army Air Forces. It was officially constituted by War Department letter on 12 August 1942, and was activated at Bushey Hall, England on 12 September 1942. It operated in WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm, etc, STILL exists and is based out of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, as part of 4th Operations Group. Talking about HERITAGE.... For other history geeks like myself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/334th_Fighter_Squadron

[@larrynitso3597]

That's pretty sad when you can't put it together yourself

[@clansman4061]

Need to check your audio/Mic......struggled a bit to hear

[@lenrad1821]

Cut towards your buddy, not towards your body…. ;)

[@cretebest3202]

Why is it that 90% of all KZbinrs use their middle finger to point out things......?

[@Fatpumpumlovah2]

another jet you will never see flying...

[@yf222000]

As much as it’s very cool and all. I believe all these models getting bigger everyday will make it extreme difficult for the younger generation to continue the hobby down the road. This is due to FAA come up with more regulations, restrictions and forces AMA to come down on the hobby harder.

[@charliemancuso5690]

There are two types of R/C airplanes. Those that have crashed and those that are gunna crash. That being said i admire anyone spending ungodly amounts of money on something that is going to crash one day.

[@MauriceWicker-k5s]

I was done with the video at the point he took a knife safety class. SMH
