This is a video 5 years in the making as this project started 5 years ago with my friend @hechtspeed Together, we embarked on a journey to scratch build two F4D Skyray RC Jet powered by an 80mm EDF at the same time. Today, after the last 2+ months spent finishing this model, we're taking it to the skies in full mission dress at last! Join me at the field and find out how it went! Was it a New Years win??
