Maximize Speed and Power: Unleash The Ultra Freewing F-5 Tiger II Swiss RC Plane

[@robbender2872]

Just put mine together today! Looking forward to the maiden. As always Bobby and Pilot Will, I appreciate you!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Hey, we're glad we can help.Hope your maiden flight goes extremely well

[@robbender2872]

@@RCPlaneReviewer Thanks Brother! See you on the stream later!

[@tructran8783]

The F5 is a small, classic, sleek, beautiful jet, I even enjoy flying it with 1/2 throttle for the view, the sound. 80mph is plenty good for me ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gooniac33]

No one realizes how fast the F-5 really is!! This thing is crazy!! My old beat up bird is still my fastest plane!!

[@martindelrio1891]

is it faster than the mirage?

[@gooniac33]

@@martindelrio1891 if the F5 is running the same power system as the mirage, yes the Mirage is faster.

[@ljhobbylife]

Guess I’m gonna have to order that new 2150!!!! Wow that thing was cooking!!! 🙌🏼

[@AllanG1914]

This has become one of my favorite EDFs. At $350, it's a steal.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

it really is!

[@cleitonetheobrinquedosradi9069]

My dad have an viper jet taf hobby. I show this video he cand crazy with your F5 jet! Isso perfect jet RC! Thanks for magnific vídeo!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thank you very much!!! It's a Rocket 🚀 ship!!!

[@dutchloveRC]

Nice video! glad you could keep it in the frame!?!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It was really hard to do lol but it was done

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

jello is all I'm gonna say

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

HHahhh yepppp it's nerv racking

[@chrispayne2269]

This is my most favorite plane to fly ever to me it's just as easy as any other plane I had no trouble flying this plane at all. Did not even have to get used to it the first landing was perfect

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It really is a good flyer..no real negative tendencies

[@davidgerlach1132]

Question, I love this plane, and its appearance, and your flying skills are spot on! I've been flying a Freewing Avanti 80mm for EVER (2-years)! I love my Avanti, but do you think it would be a somewhat smooth transition going to this F-5 Tiger II, or would something like the Freewing L-39 80mm be more appropriate?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

I think you'd have no problems from the Avanti to this. It's faster but lands well. Slows down nicely

[@davidgerlach1132]

@@RCPlaneReviewer Nice! As long as the moon isn't filled with gas, I'm good. 🥳

[@davidgerlach1132]

@@RCPlaneReviewer I'm curious if you feel the CAMO paint scheme might show up a little better than the Swiss paint scheme -- moving at 161 crazy mph?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

@@davidgerlach1132 ive had both the swiss scheme is easier for me to track, dark colors make the shadow of the plane and Silhouette, hard to see.

Sweet👊🏼👊🏼

[@tructran8783]

❤ you have 3 F5s, 2 with 9 blade 1920kv and this new 12 blade 2150kv. Can tell you are in love with the F5 ❤❤ ha ha... ❤❤❤

[@tructran8783]

Awesome. Doesn't have reverse thrust???

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

No, it doesn't need revese

[@tructran8783]

@@RCPlaneReviewer but doesn't it have reverse thrust and you don't use it? It helps on paved run way. Thx.

[@tructran8783]

That HRB 6s 4500 100C is as heavy as 639gr.... Sokokin 6s 4000, 80c is 600gr ❤❤❤❤❤

[@HAWAII-uh7sc]

Aloha, once again, I'll tell you. Brother, you are one heck of a pilot great flying.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks bro! Appreciate it 🙏

[@guyguybohurst3304]

Sweet! I am planning on putting this new 2150 EDF power system in my FreeWing 80mm F-86 Saber 😎

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

That will wake it up nicely for sure

[@JoseRivero-ei6tm]

😊😅😮😢🎉🎉🎉

[@tructran8783]

Your previous F5 with 9 blade 80mm, 1920kv, 6s HRB 4000, was 150mph. Not bad at all :-)

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Super quick for sure and stock

[@warwickEDF_jets]

I flew mine yesterday on a 6000 pack was 3 min 52 % left. 2300 kv EDF unit was interesting 😅It got away real quick will try with gps next time 🤠

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Absolutely 💯

[@warwickEDF_jets]

@@RCPlaneReviewer I think 5200 battery is really the limit what do you folks think the 6000 was a bit too sketchy to take off with.

[@davidgerlach1132]

I'm curious, does it disappear quickly, meaning hard to see or does the red-white pop out enough? I have this problem with my Viper 90mm sometime.

[@Timboslicce]

have you ever considered moving to a radiomaster set up with ExpressLRS. The range and link quality is unreal but most of all the telemetry information is the best thing ever for fixed wing. Great video keep up the hard work

[@flyjets305]

how is that not extremely nose heavy with the battery pushed so far forward?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Because of the airplanes over center or gravity. It's designed for a 4000-5000 lipo.

[@flyjets305]

@@RCPlaneReviewer but every video I ve seen and my own plane has the battery pushed back.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

@@flyjets305 don't know what to tell ya! Mine balances perfectly

[@joebag6474]

Drag.... Gear doors?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Anything non aerodynamic will create drag on an airframe

[@chrispayne2269]

I bought the original when a few months ago with the 1680 KV OutRunner I upgraded to 1850 ir. can't tell any difference I put the 1680 back

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

I had a high performance before, and I noticed more thrust and top end speed

[@Timboslicce]

also I think that f5 would be a great starter plane 🤣🤣

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Yes a great 1st one flight crash plane!!

[@snoriverrc3842]

Is that a new RC Plane Reviewer speed test record? I dont remember anything over 160 before.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It's definitely a new record

[@WigglfingerzRC]

Lol I like the 191 better. 161 is very respectable.

[@JoseRivero-ei6tm]

😅😮😅

[@tructran8783]

What? Very Efficient? NO WAY. Second flight, on Sokokin 6s 4000, took off 6:20, landed 8:20. And only 11% energy left. Less than 2 minutes flight time with 6s 4000? If landed at 20% 😮😢😂

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Solokins are low tier terrible lipos. Of course, you're getting those times. Not true mah rating or C rate.

[@tructran8783]

@@RCPlaneReviewer I could be more than happy with 50% throttle for more fun time. Plenty good for me though :-) . My most favorite jet. :-) :-)

[@sendit_rc]

my fastest speed in a dive was 174mph with 2150kv smc 5800 120c

at motionrc there is a review. someone claimed he achieved 180mph

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

@@martindelrio1891 I belive it with a strong tail wind

For a moment you believed the F5 was 191mph. Ha ha 😂 seems you enjoy the numbers and could not differentiate the true speeds 😂😂

191 mph!!! 🤣
