[@josephstanley5138]

Whoever says that is Iranian is wrong that is the Israeli air force star of David

[@josephstanley5138]

More specifically it's the 105 Squadron known as the Scorpion

[@davidsoufer116]

Nice unboxing video.. the SW400 pro fits perfectly .. the idea of a lower bypass half is great 👍…. Thank you Jonathan 🙏🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! She will be a beauty!

[@cloudstreets1396]

I noticed you pointed out static wick locations. 👍👍 Another little nugget: The F-16 has leading edge flaps not slats. As an example the T-45 and F-14 have slats. Slats move forward and down allowing airflow to accelerate underneath the slat and over the wing. Awesome job as always. Love your channel!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching!

[@texnikvova]

Awesome man!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing it built

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you!

[@pellew26warspite6]

What an absolutely beauty. The markings are depicting IAF F-16D (not sure what Block Variant) “Barak”, “The Scorpion” 105 Squadron.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Will be a fun one!

[@raysmith1414]

The F-16D is a two seater which this is not.

[@pellew26warspite6]

@@raysmith1414 thank you for the correction….

[@victormontalbano4993]

I Commend you on your doing good video for the hobby. Great work Jonathan. ,

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 👍

[@Giannis.]

Your videos are awesome! And this plane is great looking but in my opinion it’s nothing like the Hellenic vipers. Their paint job is just remarkable.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching!

[@RockbeThyName]

As usual you always unbox some awesome planes, I feel sorry for your back lifting these Hugh things..lol I know you can fly rc helis too.. I love to see you do a large turbine powered r/c heli like a MD500!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! A few heli builds thrown in the mix would be fun!

[@Axr24have]

Man! This is going to be a fun build.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Oh YEA! I agree!

[@remicallant8756]

I don't know were to find all the time to build all of the airplanes, but in any way, its an master pace of this kit, very nice build by Skymaster, congratulations, greetings from Remi ( you know Belgium )

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thanks Remi! Looking forward to this one! Should be a HOOT!

[@thomasschmidt9281]

looks exrtemly cool and a save Packing.... A MONSTER Hammer F16

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Going to be a blast of an aircraft!

[@wargor]

Nice use of the Pocket 3!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Still getting used to it but liking it!

[@dannycobian3526]

The bigger missles are aim120c, they can actually go on wing tips on the 16

[@thelightersideofrc]

Nice!!!!

[@stevewoldanski4780]

Beautiful model. Definitely weather it.

[@thelightersideofrc]

I think so too!

[@justinm1150]

AWSOME looks AMAZING

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks!

[@kerimabdessatar414]

These keep getting bigger and bigger thats like drone size stick in the swiwinn 400 and fly 12000 feet. Looking forward seeing this one. Cheers Jon

[@thelightersideofrc]

Can't wait!

[@kokotorossian3423]

Thank you Magic 🙏🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

You are so welcome

[@williambyrnes4198]

Your AA missile with the white nose is called an AIM120.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Sweet! Thanks!

[@noelgraham4607]

I wasn't liking the theme until I saw the scorpion. Brown is not my favorite color but works with the scorpions

[@thelightersideofrc]

Agreed! Will look great with some weathering as well!

[@brandonstradtner17]

Gah I wish I was rich. I want one! I have the tiny eflite 80mm that I painted in the same isreali scheme! What an awesome plane!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Have fun and enjoy whatever you fly! It’s all a blast!

[@wazboagie2338]

Big Boys Toys Awesome ❤❤

[@thelightersideofrc]

Oh Yea! Will be a fun one!

[@juergenweichenberger]

Crazy massive kit. Will it crack the weight record with all that equipment coming on it?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Juergen. Should still be fairly light. Now, Compared to the F14XL.........😂

[@andrefranco4263]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻sempre top D+

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks!

[@davidsnyder238]

Shes gorgeous and huge! Perfect subject for the 400

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks David! Should be a hoot!

[@theaerolife]

Enjoy your videos man! Would you rate this better than the BVM 1/5? I'm looking to get into 1/5th scale, cant choose this or BVM F16

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks very much! Overall there are quite a few reasons you may get many more flights with the SM. Air oil gear with a more robust gear layout. Plug in surfaces like stabs use an aluminum receiver and bearings. Long term less play and slop. The SM will end up being a heavier aircraft by a bit.

[@Sluf7]

Very nice peice of kit. 400 looks tiny in there. Nice to see a diffirent scheme to. Should be a hoot build😅 keep at it😊

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Nick! Happy New Year! Yea it's a very unique scheme that isn't common at all. I like it! I think the 400 will push it along nicely!

[@johnhopen]

I think the second missile is the aim 7 Sparrow. Maybe.

[@thelightersideofrc]

[@n64uwls6a]

My Israeli friends would love this…the Star of David on the ship In several locations.

[@thelightersideofrc]

You bet! 😎

[@Aero_Rc.]

Hey John great vid like always, quick dumb question i have a small jet that im adding a smoke system in i dont have alot of room so i was thinking a dual tank set up , have you done this ? Could i run one fill and one vent line for both split with Ts ? Thanks

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! In your situation I would run the tanks in series. first tank fills, comes out vent and goes to fuel bung of second tank and fills second tank. Make sense?

[@Aero_Rc.]

@@thelightersideofrc makes perfect sense thank you John

[@itayes23]

IAF ❤❤❤

[@thelightersideofrc]

[@andrewpoole6854]

Are you going to convert the nose wheel steering from hydraulic to servo?

[@thelightersideofrc]

I think we will keep it as is.

[@wearemany73]

You get all the best toys 😊 (16:20 Nez inspects the aircraft ❤)

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thanks! Lots of fun stuff in the shop right now!

[@brushbros]

Three thousand bugs for the kit alone. How much for the total kit?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Total aircraft complete is about 25K

[@jerrodbeck1799]

Will that fit in my Toyota Corolla?

[@thelightersideofrc]

It might!

[@victorrcjets7660]

Love the Iranian liveries 😊 loaded 😊

[@yoavbob]

Its not the Iranian livery its the Israeli Air Force livery

[@thelightersideofrc]

Very unique! Not a common Scheme.

@@thelightersideofrc Did you order it in that scheme? A bit tone deaf don't you think, with the massacre going on?

For all our negative comments let it be known we're all jealous we don't have this aircraft
