FlyFans has some great planes in these little 64 edfs!!!

[@cybersecuritydeclassified4793]

Thanks for helping this old guy get back into the hobby. Appreciate all your hard work.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

My pleasure!! Truly it is not work when you love doing something. And welcome back to the best hobby out there!

[@SCRedneckRC-Tony]

Beautiful bird, beautiful backdrop, and some nice flying

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Isleofwightr.c-ec2ef]

Great maiden flight, i was surprised how slow she came in with no flaps deployed, nice landings...jeff.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

You and me both! And thanks

[@tructran8783]

That wonderful L39 need this truefire 5280 afterburner for 64mm outrunner fan ❤❤❤❤❤

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

That would be cool A little pricy at $49 however.

[@timomalley4282]

5280 RC has a burner for the freezing 64 mm f-16 that fits this plane with ease.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I will check it out.

[@ricktaylor7346]

I bought this one on eBay and it works nicely : Cyclone Power CenterBurner V3 Lite Lighting System For Single 64mm EDF by Hobby-Paradise

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

i will give it a look thank you.

[@jaysrc]

Awesome!!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yes it is, love it

[@ficosk8]

You could install an FW 64mm 2500KV 6S Inrunner to mount afterburners… but you will need an 60A esc

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I have both of those items and I may just.

[@ficosk8]

@@FatGuyFliesRC My friend was testing the Freewing 2500KV now on the bench with 7S and it pulls 25% more than on 6S! The sound is ridiculously loud xD

[@cybersecuritydeclassified4793]

Another great video!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Glad you like them!

[@helmuthuneke1775]

Got mine today and it got reverse thrust too

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yes the news one are supposed to. Enjoy it is a great flying edf

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Doesn't need reverse thrust . It lands slow enough

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I agree but I paid for it so they owe me the proper ESC. And yes I know the online description says nothing about TR but in a private email to them they told me the Olive one do in the latest releases. I only wanted it to demonstrate how to set it up and use it.

[@Bill14886]

I cut new battery strap slots and run a LiHV 3600 . She hauls a$$

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Good tip.

[@tructran8783]

The new strap moved forward or backward ? Thx :-) :-)

[@ironmover5800]

I have the Baltic bees use a 3200 , fun little jet

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

@@tructran8783 Backwards

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

I use a 6s 4000mah in mine and just made the battery strap slots longer cause the lipo sits further back

[@unknowninvictus2520]

4s or 6S? I think the performance will be the same (power/kg, not top speed) and price for batteries will be lower.I am leaning towards 4S; Wingloading will be lower aswell, so itll be more forgiving. Flight time should be the same, and on the low end probably more compared to 6s. Thoughts?

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

All of these p[oints are good I will have to do a 4s vs 6s flight to answer your questions.

[@andystoybox1723]

Rc castle has them

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks, I went with a 64 ring burner from Amazon for 16$ will try it anyhow.

[@ficosk8]

Really nice flier, with retractable landing gear and lights! I also love that Color 👍🏼 But for around the same price I could also get an Avanti V3 with lights :/ 😅😅 How is she in comparison to your bigger FW L39 80mm? 👍🏼

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

They both fly smooth as butter, Just this one is a little slower.

[@ficosk8]

@@FatGuyFliesRC OK! Thanks!

[@ficosk8]

@@FatGuyFliesRC OK thanks!!

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Would you recommend the value hobby DSMX receiver for this plane ? I use a NX8 radio.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

at one time I did until I had 2 of them cause me issues, one crashed my plane the other made the rudder flutter slowly. I own 20 of them but will not buy them again. Instead I recommend this one, the Lemon rx GEN 2, 7 channel it is $17.99 so very budget friendly and this one i fly my 80mm Freewing Mirage on and many of my other non gyroed plane like my FMS avanti s 70mm also has one in it. here is a link and yes it is an affiliate link but I was using these rx long before I was an affiliate.: www.motionrc.com/products/lemon-7-channel-dsmx-compatible-receiver-with-diversity-antenna-lm0081?bg_ref=Rvec3zLedV&tid1=FAT+GUY+FLIES+RC

[@xJae14x]

Do you happen to know your AS3X gain values? I’d like to copy them as a starting point.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

When you do forward programing I use the default settings. However I make them adjustable by assigning the gains to be controlled by my knob. That way it the wind id real strong I can turn them up in flight. If the plane starts to oscillate due to overcompensation then I can turn them down. So star with default and go from there. I am sorry I don't remember the actual numbers.
