70mm EDF RC F-16 Ground Tests
I was able to get to the field today to do some testing. It handled really well on the ground. It doesn't roll for too long after you touchdown. I apologize that I don't have any juicer video, I was alone, so this is really a rough, I mean rough video. It made it in the air a few times. As you could imagine, I couldn't get that on film because of the lack of a cameraman.

Faulty Radio
UPDATE
So, I took the F-16 out to the local model RC field two Sundays ago, and after waiting patiently for a turn to put her in the sky, I finally got to see what she looks like on the end of the runway. As the adrenaline began pumping, I thought to myself, "Self, I haven't flow with this equipment before, best you do a range check!". So I did. I walked away disappointed, yet relieved to find that I lost control at about 55 to 60 ft. After messing around with the electronics, and fiddling with the radio systems, I gave up. I ended up contacting the company about the system and they agreed to send the upgraded 2.4Ghz radio. It arrived and I installed it, and it seems to check out here at home, and I will have to check it out at the field, but I anticipate the first flight to be very soon. Check back for an update!

BlitzRC Works F-16 Fighting Falcon
It finally arrived! I spent a little extra time piecing it together as I was trying to keep glue off the floor. The package came with plenty of clear 5 min epoxy, which I thought was really convenient. All that had to be done was the nosecone, vertical stab, horizontal stabs, and the wings. Thats it, gluing done. The landing gear popped in really easily
The foam is painted and smooth, and its hard to tell its foam! Its a great looking bird and we'll get it up in the air soon!

VentureRC Created!!
Follow me at YouTube.com/users/VentureRC I want to take a look at rc planes and show how simple things have become in the RTF market, and how easy to set up and fly. To start things off, we'll look at an EDF jet! Thanks for stopping by!
