A perfect ENTRY level RC Jet - FMS F-16 Thunderbird 64mm

If your are looking for a RC Jet to try out and want something you can progress with. THIS IS IT. 64mm Jets typically are a nice size and weight for someone who is slightly intimidated with moving on from PROP planes to a EDF. This plane flew great! If you program a gyro and limit the bank to around where I had mine set, I truly believe ALMOST anyone could fly this. I am excited to test my theory by letting some friends fly the BRAND NEW FMS F-16 64mm !

Interested in this plane from @fmsmodelRC ?

The fact an actual jet was flying close by when you did the low high alpha pass was cool. The audio matched up for a moment. This feels like a basic entry level jet for sure. Thanks for the showcase

My favorite RC plane guy. He’s cool, not a dork like most of these guys. He doesn’t try to be a comedian either. His videos are enjoyable and informative.

The first video I saw that you came out with I got into the RC airplane, hobby

[jayaustin]

I sure enjoy watching your videos. Very entertaining and educational. Thanks man. Jay from western oregon.

You fly really well. Normally on see your shorts. This is my first suggested vid of you YouTube has offered to me. Enjoyed the entertainment.

Just maiden mine today. A bit sluggish. I guess im to used to my 6s edfs. Going to use the motor from xfly thats capable for 6s on a 64mm. Hopefully it makes it more lively

[SlowFlyer]

Nice looking edf jet and your flying is great good video

[Noah-jzop]

[jonnycatt]

Hello, if I buy this can I connect it to any radio? Or does it have to be a spectrum? (I am a complete beginner) greetings from one of your biggest fans.

[mcemtpockets]

Id crash that thing man...😊❤ great stuff bro😊

[tructran]

That F16 flies great with SMC 4s 2800, clean no gears ❤❤❤❤❤

[ficosk]

I have also snap flaps and high alpha configuration (ail+ele). Everything works great but it’s not needed. She flies awesome as she is 👍🏼

[kanetyberium]

Which battery can I put in it at max? How long flight time can I expect on it?

[danielregan]

Hi Jay! I'm thinking about buying an entry level plane at some point, and currently looking at this one and the FMS 1220mm Ranger EP V2, which you also recommended as a great option for beginners. Between the two, how would you say the difficulty compares, as well as their capability?

I really just don't want to buy in and realize in retrospect that I would have had more fun / be able to grow more with the other option

What are some tips for flying in SMALL areas

[JN]

Jay, you introduced me to the hobby a little over a year ago! Many planes and tons of fun later, I’m so glad I stumbled on a video of a dude with a bit of an accent flying RC Planes. I was hooked bro 😎 😂🎉

[Thepetephilly]

Thanks as always, Jay! The info is always spot on!

[StewartCurry-qd]
