Fresh Flight of the Freewing 64mm F-16 Fighting Falcon | Motion RC

[@notoo7]

Surprised how much I have grown to love this plane. Has my reservations flying a three servo plane. But it has turned out to be one of my favorites.

[@germanmorales6748]

Been flying it for a year now “ flys incredible

[@tructran8783]

This early version has 2 servos for elevons, 3300kv motor. The later uses 4 servos, new fan, 2850kv :-)

[@ederdmann7347]

The only reason I got this plane is because it had a rudder servo on it.

[@davidsnyder238]

Great fun flier, nice job as always with it Wes!

[@dutchloveRC]

great flying Wesley!!

[@seancox8180]

this bird is my second edf and omg she flies so good!!! I think I am on my 12th flight and no crashes so far!

[@FreeFlightDigest]

awesome power!

[@rchobbyandmoreeverydayisagift]

I got this because its got an actual rudder and reverse. Fun cheap plane to add to my 64mm lineup so am putting it together today and will do the receiver/transmitter setup tonight with As3X/Safe select tonight. Hopefully get to fly it's maiden this weekend.

[@albertburton4151]

Looks like a nice flying jet. I’ll check it out!🎉

[@GeorgeCooper_LoneWolf]

Awesome bird

[@dronepilot260rc]

Looks like an affordable option 😎

[@RaGeRC]

I actually really like this plane but I'm sorry I had to add two servos to have the elevators in a more traditional setup and Its so much more amazing that way!

[@Phillax31]

Where abouts did you up them? Did you program flaps on the ailerons as well?

[@RaGeRC]

@Phillax31 I put them on the side of the fuselage right behind the main wing. And yes I also did flapperons as well. I have a video of it on my channel if you would like to see it.

[@ernestostrman5147]

Will this fly on admiral 4s 2500 30C(have a oportunity to buy 2 pack of those)? Is 30C enough? I have 2 2200(100C and 50C) but i want a bit more mah.

[@airhammer6203]

MRC 👍👍 Was n Lori 👍👍

[@jerinismat3638]

We need more f 16’s by freewing

[@tructran8783]

I have thunderpower 2800 4s, roughly same weight as your 2200 4s :-) . Think about long flight time, not 4:37 minutes for sure :-) .

[@honkerbonker77]

I crashed mine today on first flight. Hand throw.. I pulled full up 3/4 throttle. I think it low speed stalled and rolled over.

[@tonypassarelli184]

will it take off from the grass?

[@williamwallace9427]

How’s that air intake holding up landing on it repeatedly without the wheels?

[@noirchroma536]

0:45 your what tube?

[@scottmeyers4178]

Problem with all freewing 64 mm EDFs is lack of thrust/power surprised freewing hasn't made an adjustment with this yet I'm sure they've tried the E flight/ FMS 64 mm 11 blade EDFs and notice huge difference in power running the same 4s systems. I'd recommend to anybody to go with E flight or FMS versions

[@MotionRC]

I don't feel anything lacking with these fans nowadays. But to each there own

[@blue03r6]

But the fms doesnt have a rudder. Seems like it wont fly right. Cant even find a good review of the fms F16 v2. Of course having the ailerons and elevators connected makes no sense either. Both brands 64mm F16 have design oddities. The 70 80 versions all normal control surfaces

[@cwwisk]

Looks like a decent flyer, but it would be better with stabilators.

[@speedteamhpi]

SAY WHAT!

[@cwwisk]

@@speedteamhpi WHAT!

[@tructran8783]

@@speedteamhpi WHAT A GREAT 64MM F16 :-)

[@KennethWhiteakaruckusbringa]

You can easily mod it I did the mod on my rock hobby f16 worked great

[@JS-kq9iw]

Does it have enough power to justify a thrust vectoring nozzle?

[@MotionRC]

Not on a 64mm. The weight to make that work would probably negate any performance potential. Get the 80mm gripen with the thrust-vectoring for that

[@JS-kq9iw]

@@MotionRCWow thank you for the quick response. That explains why I can't find any 64s with TV. I will consider the 80

[@kaydenscudder8405]

See mine has roll on right wing and only elevator on left wing

[@fortite4359]

Honestly it's cheap for what it is ill get one eventually

[@eliasprime]

so this doesn’t come with landing gear

[@MotionRC]

The 64mm F-16 come with removable landing gear.

[@winstonsmith7801]

Fixed gear is ridiculous on a model edf jet in 2022.

[@MotionRC]

Not a 64mm. Weight has to stay down as the size decreases, also keeps the price down

[@merailla6210]

It's actually good for us beginner pilots as there is less expensive parts to break.

[@winstonsmith7801]

@@merailla6210 My first edf jet was a Mig 15 , no landing gear , just toss it and belly land.It's good for most Clubs that have a grass Landing strip.

[@blue03r6]

Needs a spring style front wheel in my opinion. Less stress on all the parts

[@RealTojo090]

I mean, you shouldn’t expect much. This is a bargain and a half, this jet is
