Did I Push This RC Jet Too Far? F9F Panther Maiden Flight!

This RC F9F Panther from Freewing and Motionr RC has been completely transformed—gear doors, body flaps, speed brakes, weathering, and a full custom paint job. I may have even added some super fine detail stencils in the process too that I introduce in this vid. BUT...After all that work, the big question is… will it actually fly and will all those mods actually work?

This is the maiden flight, and the moment where every detail gets put to the test.
