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 !

    Actually, SAFE needs 100% rates or else it makes 1/4 mile turns. SAFE has bank angle limits anyway. Unlocked, you can set max ailerons at 90 degrees.

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

    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

    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

    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 😎 😂🎉
