70mm EDF F-16 Takes Flight!

Here is some rough editing just for the fun of having some video up.

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!
