Maiden of the Freewing Eurofighter Typhoon

[@Dannyspinningtails]

Fantastic! I live in U.K. 🇬🇧 and see the real Typhoons fly past my home, your jet is 100% amazing and so nimble.

[@jared6072]

The typhoon is a very cool jet. I have never seen a full scale one flying in real life though😥

[@SmokeyMountainRcTravisThompson]

Awesome flying bud. Great jet. 👊👊👍👍

[@jared6072]

Thanks man.

[@davidgerlach1132]

I love this Eurofighter Typhoon. I'm curious, how this handles in comparison to the Freewing F-22 Raptor High Performance 90mm?

Glad to see I'm not the only one up at this ridiculous hour of the day, my friend.

@@modeljetjuggernaut4864 LOL. I'd been awake since about ten last night and am still awake now. Starting to get a little sleepy though.

Lotta grey jets out there nowadays looking all the same😆. Nice job filming them.

[@moviefalk177]

Hello can somebody pls say to me what is the diameter of this tail nozzle from the Eurofighter 90mm EDF and how long is its width?

[@afterburnerrc6333]

Great flight, what size battery and how long you estimate you can fly on it?

[@jared6072]

I was using spektrum 5000 6s 100c g1 in this flight. I am also using smc 5000 6s. In reality, just use anything under 750 grams. This jet flies best with cg 35-40mm behind the recommended cg and thats hard to do with any heavier battery

Nice

Reverse your RC jet, wow that's realistic :D

Nope, but deffinetly convienent.😄

You can’t fly that in Wichita with no license !

[@romieiv]

and mix and expo please

[@romieiv]

flaperons?

[@jp7585]

What type Tx, Rx and ESC?

[@jared6072]

All stock 6s setup. Using a spektrum 8020t rx. Running elevons, canards, rudder, steering servo all on their own channels. Just using the white mixing board for gear sequncer and lights.

[@matthiasweidmann8135]

Good plane, nice mod's .......but the cameraman needs serious training

[@kmarshall100]

Did you buy that airframe that way, without the cheesy rudder livery, or did you strip the decals off the rudder?

[@jared6072]

I got it from Motionrc and they have them without the tiger decals applied. I ended up applying them to the rudder though and man was that a pita😅. The first go at getting that big one on, i about went psycho, about ripped it up, then randomly figured out to spray it with water to make it way easier to slide it about. When starting to apply it , you wet the decal for five seconds and set it on some wax paper. Paint on micro set on the painted surface and then slide your decal as close as you can to where it needs to be. Then spray the decal with water and let the slipperiness of the micro set allow you to message the decal into place easily like kneading bread almost. Apply more water to let it loosen up, but not so much that it washes away the adehsive. Brush micro sol on the top of the decal and the thing looks like it was painted on.

[@kmarshall100]

@@jared6072 Copy that, I forgot they have the ARF version without the livery. Thank you for the reply and nice flying!

[@romieiv]

for the love of God share your CG setup please

[@modeljetjuggernaut4864]

That is answered below ..

[@jeffbrundt7740]

Was this 6s or 8s? What's your thoughts?

[@jared6072]

Its 6s. I had to do a few mods to get cg at 40mm behind the recommended marks with 700-740 gram 5000 6s lipos without having to add alot of extra dead weight in the back. Pulled the magnets out of the nose and glued the nose on, removed pilot, removed the airbrake mechanism (i have a mix to pivot canards down as shown by two brothers rx), and stuck the control box all the way back under the airbrake mechanism. I hogged out the foam under the rudder as far back in the base of it as i could and dropped the included cylinder weight plus another 20 grams of lead. If i have the missile pylons on, i can get cg where this plane lands and flies beautifully. Im on the fence about 8s. I think 8s would be a rocket for sure. Hell, the 6s has plenty of pull and speed already. The airframe could deffinetly handle the extra weight you put into it with the negatives being that it will land faster and will not as nimble in the air. At least thats what i felt when i switched to the freewing 8s setup on the F22. The f22 still handles like a beast with all that extra weight and was worth it for that bump in power where i feel the typhoons already weak pitch authority will become worse with the added weight. Maybe not. Stay tuned cause another guy at the field bought an 8s typhoon and we will see if it worth the extra weight for that speed and power bump.
