Check this out!! This day I decided to fly the smaller, lighter F-16 80mm EDF jet from FMS despite the pretty messy weather and having to cope with the rough turbulence showed what happens when your roll gain on the gyro is a bit too high, constantly sending the jet into overcorrections, bounces and oscillations!

I'm flying this one on my new Jeti transmitter with a REX6A gyro-integrated receiver, so I'm using stabilization only in pitch and roll, yaww is undampened, although I plan to upgrade to another receiver with more channels to fix that issue ;)

I also use 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 17th to 19th on 'Skye', as I decided to kindly dub this airframe ;)
