F-16 RC Jet Dusk Flight Show - Navigation Lights FTW!! ✈️ FMS 80mm EDF
24This gorgeous F-16 80mm EDF rc jet from FMS Model does really (literally) shine in the air with all that ordnance loaded on and the navigation LED lights popping up at dusk!!
The jet does turn out a bit draggy with all the ordnance loaded up, but it still can hold its own despite the penalty (although not as good as the newer Freewing Eurofighter, in that regard). One way or another, it looks TOTALLY BADASS! :DDD
I've had bad experiences with past jets' LED lights being way too bright, and I thought this one would be too, but I didn't feel so blinded by them like on other jets I've owned -cough, cough... FW F/A-18C, COUGH! ehem...-, so that was nice. Also love the fact that the lights don't blink because it makes it easier to orient oneself in the air. :)
The F-16 is a very interesting jet to fly, on one hand it lacks rudder authority (compared to jets like the Su-35, F-22, MiG-29 or any 'eurodelta') but on the other, it is a very agreeable airframe, easy to steer and really high-alpha friendly!
I'm also flying this one on my new Jeti transmitter with a REX6A gyro-integrated receiver and I also have added a MUI200 current sensor, which helps making the most out of each and every flight!
So far I'm keeping the jet unpainted, in the plain grey military livery of the USAF but in the near future I will probably repaint it in the belgian XTM scheme from the 31st Tigers Squadron, which I had the pleasure to watch perform live back in 2022 and immediately fell in love with it! :)
Actually, that F-16 is probably the reason I decided I had to include a Viper in my fleet, hahaha! :D
This jet is truly outstanding as a scale model, with a plethora of scale details and with the possibility of installing a lot of ordnance, including fuel tanks, short and medium range missiles! That's also one of the reasons I wanted to get the jet... it looks gorgeous in the air showing off with all the underslung gear installed! Here, on the second flight I was already flying it with a couple of fuel tanks, but wait for it... because I loaded it even more heavily already on the third, fourth and fifth sorties! (Video coming soon!) :p
These were flights 15th and 16th on 'Skye'.
